Fantasia: Heroic Spirits (Requires Telepathy, Physical Strength) (600-900?)
“Heroic Spirits” allows Malon to create a telephatic connection with another person to make them experience an illusion of up to 7 individuals, which they can see and hear as long as she maintains physical contact with them. Only one person can be affected by this at a time.
Before the ability can be used Malon must make physical contact with someone else (touching one’s clothing or armor is sufficient), which must be maintained as long as the ability is active. Because it requires a fair amount of concentration to maintain it this also restricts her to using “simple” moves and powers that require little to no mental focus to use. Disrupting her concentration may also cause the images to flicker. Furthermore the technique can be countered the way regular telepathy can be, if an opponent has higher TEC than Malon and decides to counter it.
As long as the ability is active Malon can control who the illusion shows, as well as what they say and how they act. Who the illusion shows is limited only by her fantasy: it doesn’t have to be a real person nor does their depiction have to correspond to reality (as an example she could depict someone covered in injuries or very buff when they really are healthy/meek). The upper limit is 7 separate individuals, however, and requires Malon’s complete concentration to accomplish. The ability’s stamina drain is based on the number of individuals summoned by the illusion, and would leave her greatly exhausted and dizzy after a minute of upholding 7 of them simultaneously.
While the affected person can see and hear them, the illusions are incorporeal and thus don’t deal damage even if they “attack”. On the flipside they cannot be harmed by direct attack either.
Would this ability cost 600 or 900? 600 for the base ability plus making it variable by summoning between one and seven illusions, but would it get +300 for being capable of changing the appearance of the illusions?
