The Mind Arts are an obscure branch of magic closely related to the mind.
Legilimency
Passive Legilimency: Simply scanning the surface thoughts of someone’s mind. You do not actually control the thoughts they experience, you merely see what they see and think what they think
Active Legilimency: Actively delving into someone’s mind. You separate the memories that you experience from the memories the victim experiences. For most people, they will have no idea anything is happening (aside from a potential headache).
Occlumency
Passive Occlumency: Awareness of the mind. Being able to clear it efficiently, and to control it properly. Master Occlumens are even capable of better controlling their magic they output when using spells.
Active Occlumency: A proper occlumens would be capable of keeping the experiences you (the Legilimens) and they (the victim) see the same (i.e. they would see what you yourself are seeing). Because of this, they will be aware that their mind is being invaded. Once they are aware of the connection, the Occlumens simply needs to clear their mind. Since the connection is shared, the Legilimens will no longer have anything to see, and will be thus propelled out of the victim’s mind.
