So ... what's a guilt-caster?

Isn't that like the blame thrower from the Mystery Men movie?

I didn't see that.

I was just reading something and got the impression that these "guilt-casters" were a fabled and highly secretive faction within the Bene Gesserit, used by the Sisterhood to deal out special punishments. Evidently they used psychic force to make the guilty feel the consequences of their actions, pounding shame into their minds with wave after wave of accusing voices, making the victim's life a screaming hell of retribution from which there could be no escape.

I couldn't find any reference to them in the original books, though.

Never seen that term before.

You remember that old Morton Salt ad copy, "When it rains it pours"? (Googling, I see they still use it. Kewl! )

Well ... this is more a case of "When they blow, they suck."

They are OH's? Cool.

We're getting to him! I still can't believe that they're ripping off a Mystery Men idea. A new low.
