“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.
In order to use the move Malon must first focus for ~2 seconds, during which she can't move/attack/defend etc. to ready it. After that she has to make physical contact with her target (touching one’s clothing or armor is sufficient), which must be maintained as long as the ability is active, to create and maintain the telephatic connection.
Because it requires a fair amount of concentration to maintain it using this move also restricts her to using “simple” moves and powers that require little to no mental focus to use, from the moment that she readies "Heroic Spirits" for usage. Therefore disrupting her concentration may also cause the images to flicker. Furthermore The technique can also 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.
I'd say this would be fine at 600. The variation in appearance doesn't give you any extra utility so I think we can call that fodder. My only question here is does this have any cast time or does it begin immediately upon touching the opponent?
Oops, I forgot to note that. Edits made in bold/struck-through to make it more readable, is it okay with that?

Also, I forgot to submit this alt form for approval, so I'm tacking it on to this post <_<
