Monthly question- how did Luthor erase our memories?

[ChristineMoon]

At the beginning of Chapter 10, we realize that Luthor had erased the memories of our shared past. Through the story, we learn how memory deletion works, but not how it can affect a human counterpart outside of a magic world. So, how was Luthor able to erase our memories?

Honestly I’ve been brainstorming for an answer and I couldn’t really call what I’m about to write a theory AT ALL XD but here goes nothing. I do understand that in order to erase someone memories “safely” you need illusion magic and let’s not forget to erase the memories AND emotions. But I literally can’t find an answer to how Luthor or rather Chronos still managed to erase our memories world a part (but honestly applause to his powers) my guess is that the magic effected the device and somehow the electric waves effected us....?

That’s interesting indeed. I think that he probably did something to the pocket watch. It seems that with our memories he also erased some of the watch’s features. Or maybe Alvin helped him.
