Obliviate Kin's Leash?

[JudeWMire]

Hey, would it be possible to carefully stick Kin's leash/collar into an oblivion hole and if you did would it erase her memory of the trauma she suffered as a result of it?

[gamecreator]

No. To both questions.

[JudeWMire]

Cool. Got it. Care to explain why?

[gamecreator]

It was heavily discussed already.
1) Kin's collar is around her neck. How can you possibly safely stick it into oblivion hole while keeping Kin out of the hole?
2) Oblivion holes erase the memories about object, but they do nothing to erase the consequences of it's existence. This was explained by Thunt (in blog post, IIRC) and repeated every time oblivion was discussed on forums (which is quite often).

One problem mentioned in the forums is that Kin would possibly remember the torture inflicted by Goblinslayer, but not why she allowed it to happen, causing even greater trauma.

Sapphire, who's mind is effectively broken, is a good example of the dangers of using extra-natural forces to destroy unwanted memories.
