Here's my idea for the ultimate brainwashing spell... I think it's a terrifying fate, and a potent tool.
Rewrite Person
Sor/Wiz 9
Evil Enchantment
Range: Touch
Duration: Instant
Will negates
This spell utterly destroys the mind of the target, eliminating all memory, class levels, skills, and feats and allows the caster to remake their consciousness however they choose. After being stricken the subject falls into a coma lasting 24 hours. During that time if the caster has access to the body they can create any new personality and memories they like, and grant them a number of levels equal to their previous count in any class or classes, as well as select their skills and feats. The only detail that is not changed is the subject's stats and alignment, the latter of which may lead to the subject refusing to act exactly like the caster desires, even if programmed to serve compliantly. The original personality is in essence dead, their mind and soul reshaped beyond recognition, and cannot be resurrected. Spells targeting the original's mind or soul will find that it no longer exists on this plane or any other. Without continuous access during those 24 hours the subject will not die and be replaced; they'll wake up with their original class, personality, and abilities, but suffering from irreversible retrograde amnesia. They'll be the same person though. For those that are rewritten fixing them is difficult. Even Rewrite Person cannot restore the subject to normal since any attempt to fix things would only turn the subject into an estimation of what they used to be since it is impossible for the caster attempting a cure to know every memory, thought, and inclination that person once had (although it is possible nobody would notice the difference the original would still be dead). The only way to undo the spell is to first cast Rewrite Person and then use a Wish spell to guide you in the process of molding their mind to the way it used to be.
Material Component: A brain of the same species as the target studded with black diamonds worth 30,000gp.
