(*) Modify Memory items as issued to at-risk Project members are in an instantaneous spellform rather than the more versatile permanent form, since they’re intended to let Project members erase their own memories rather than modify others’ memories. Needing to concentrate for an equivalent time to the original memory modified, would just form new memories of the hazardous info as the old info was being erased. This implies that nobody on the Project was given complicated false memories, at least by Asmodia’s issued item; and that the spell effect from it can’t be Detected or Dispelled after.
"...and then Asmodia, so far as anyone could tell at first, disappeared. Her spellbook was left behind in her bedroom, in its usual place. Her one-use item of Modify Memory*, given to her in case of Peranza Syndrome or anything similar, could not be found. Locate Object could not find it either."
"After a great search, it was determined that a vat of sulfuric acid had a low fire lit below it with no logged experiment in progress there, then that the acid was contaminated in a way consistent with a body and clothing having been thrown into it. Asmodia's Wisdom headband was found at the bottom - thankfully intact. The Modify Memory item was also there, discharged, shielded by the vat walls from the Locate Object spell."
"The area containing the acid vat was outdoors, but shielded from sunlight during the day by an awning that also blocked direct Security vision from fortress overwatch. Greater Detect Magic shows the Modify Memory effect discharged there, and no other unusual magics cast in that place; many, including Asmodia, had used Prestidigitations and Mage Hands there within the time limit of the spell, and Securities had cast Invisibility and Detect Thoughts and the like."
"No alarm spells tripped to show an attempted exit from the Forbiddance volume, nor were any other personnel missing."
"On the surface it seemed a strangely futile attempt at either murder or suicide. But then scries could not detect Asmodia, nor Asmodia's soul."
"After the next dawn, Aspexia Rugatonn tried a Discern Location. Even that did not find Asmodia, which implies Mind Blank, or the intervention of divinity, or that she was wholly destroyed, or that she traveled to strange places beyond known planes."
"Aspexia essayed a True Resurrection."
"It failed."
"We cannot attempt even a Commune, let alone a Miracle, unless we make a decision to move all Project Lawful out of the Ostenso nonintervention zone, as a Miracle would certainly be intended to affect events there."
"We have sent urgent queries to Hell of the matter, and have yet to receive any response."
"Truthspells and Detect Thoughts upon all Project Lawful have failed to turn up anybody who remembers themselves to have decided to target Asmodia or help her; nor to have had any unusual means about them that could aid Asmodia's escape or kidnapping; nor any means to destroy, trap, or hide Asmodia's soul.”
(*) Bards are rare in Golarion, those that make and sell scrolls are rarer. The single-use Modify Memory items issued to at-risk Project members are repurposed Chelish spy tools, based on a 6th-circle spellform derived from the Memory subdomain of a Mephistopheles cleric. The resulting spell effects are 'instantaneous', rather than the more versatile standard 'permanent' form of Modify Memory, and permit erasing memories but not modifying them. The standard form would require the caster to concentrate for an equivalent time to the original memory modified, making them useless for erasing or modifying infohazards, since the caster would just form new memories of the hazardous info as the old info was being erased. This implies that nobody on the Project was given complicated false memories, or at least, not by Asmodia’s issued item; and that the spell effect from it can’t be Detected, Dispelled, or Break-Enchantment-ed after the fact.
