What is your opinion on the use of memory charms to modify behavior?
Memory charms do have their uses. Unfortunately, they seem to only work in universes where minds are ontologically basic mental entities, and the potions available in this universe are not fast, reliable or selective enough to be adequate substitutes.
Interesting, I would have guessed that memory modification would be easier when minds aren't ontologically basic mental entities because there are then actual parts of the mind that one can target.
We don't have tools sharp enough to get a grip on those parts, yet.
