This is an interesting spell: it causes the subject to actually forget a single event, determined by the caster, in their memory. I've seen a little bit of use in pschological therapy to allow a patient to forget about some abuse or instance they may have suffered at some point in their life. Not an accepted method, but I've seen it happen.

Gentlemen, I have been living in
the shade for some time now, and I can tell you, subtlety is a beauiful thing.
Anyone remember the old radio show they made into a trid series recently?
I think it's called The Shadow, I don't know I don't watch trid. That's what
you become...a Shadow. I think I am gonna start watching Trid more often.

Type: Mana
Category: Manipulation (Mental)
Range: Touch
Target: Willpower (R)
Drain: [(F/2)+2]S
Duration: Permanent
Damage: N/A
Effects: Causes subject to forget about a single instance they have experienced
or know about. If/when the target attempts to remember or access the memory,
they re-roll their Willpower (or Intelligence, whichever is higher) against
the spell's Force. They must obtain at least the same number of net successes
as the caster managed when casting the spell. How siginificant and how recent
the memory is affects the Target Number for the spell's subject (each time
they resist its effects). An insignificant memory, one which has little meaning
to or impact on the subject's life (or is from early childhood) receives
no modifier. A memory which is mildly significant, like a birthday, (or is
old, but not more than a decade or so) receives a -1. A memory which is
significant, or less than a year old, receives a -2. A memory which is very
significant (the birth of the subject's child, for instance), or from, say,
last night, receives a -3. These modifiers apply only to the subject's resistance
test(s). If the subject is undergoing hypnosis or psychological therapy to
retrieve the memory, give them an additional -1 to the resistance target
number. The number of turns required to repress the memory is equal the subject's
Willpower. Successes may be allocated to reducing this, but successes used
in this manner do not count when determining the threshold for the subject's
resistance test.
