The text had been old, the parchment slightly tattered, when it had been brought to the crown princess as a gift from the minor noble who had found it on their property in a golden box. Unopened, till they were in Azula's hands. Opening the box and then the scrolls, the royal discovered why it had been chained in the old broken shrine.
"The forbidden arts of the Lightning Mind Chains. The use of the rare art of lightningbending to gain total mastery of the mind of any living animal... or person. Turns out the master who discovered this art had figured out the mind is controlled by lightning. Memories, personality, everything which makes a person a person... controlled by lightning.
The master then practise to perfect his arts, using lightning in various moves and katas to change the minds of people. Changing memories, personalities, traits... loyalties. With this he was able to slowly take control of the Fire Nation, even the Fire Lord. Allowing the Fire Lord to rule out in the open, but with full control under the master.
He believed he could even control the Avatar with his techniques. If he could strike unseen, but before he could he was attacked secretly by the Avatar, defeated, and killed. Or that is what his most loyal servants said before locking up the scroll so their master's legacy could continue.
They also mentioned many more weaker techniques using fire to gain limited control of the minds of others. By placing them into trances, but they were unable to get people to go against their natures. At least without clever twisting of words and phrases." Azula summarized what she had learned from the papers. Making sure to memorize all of the movies and actions of the new art of Mindbending. A school of Firebending she was to become a master, no, a grandmaster of. Then use it to become the rule of the world.
