* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' 3.5 has a spell called ''Programmed Amnesia'' which allows you to remove and add memories on the affected target. The caster could give the target a whole new life and new personality.
** There is also a less powerful spell call [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/modifyMemory.htm modify memory] that still has power perversion possibilities.
** Beholders remember that they were born as the direct offspring of their god and that their god looks exactly like they do (Beholders can very considerably in appearance, and hate beholders that don't look like them).
* The Fetch from ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'' are magical doppelgangers created by the True Fae when they abduct a human. The Fetch live out the lives of the people they've replaced, oblivious to the fact that their whole life is a shame...until the taken human, now a Changeling, escapes from Faerie. Most Fetch aren't aware anything's amiss until this happens, and most take the news they are fakes with memories stolen from a small piece of a person's soul poorly. Of course, sometimes the Fetch's memories are imperfect to begin with...
