Literature Text

Definition: Not a new mental illness. Refers to victims of megalomania whose modified abilities justify the subject's sense of importance.

Due to the ubiquitous nature of mods, cybernetic, nanotechnological, bioengineered, psionic, or transubstantiative, it is inevitable that certain megalomaniacs are also high-powered modders. Ascertaining whether the illness induced the subject's extensive modification or if modding cements the illness has generally been dismissed as a chicken-or-the-egg conundrum.

There is little to be done for treatment of hyper-megalomaniacs, other than necessary acts of subdual and detainment. Treatment can begin after the subject is forcibly deprived of mods and demoted to a baseline megalomania status.
Are you a megalomaniac if you really do have godlike powers? Tricky, tricky.

This sounds like something from a sci-fi medical textbook. I like it!
