Hacked eyes – 300 – Ranged proficiency, Debuff proficiency, Telepathy
Leo concentrates for 2 seconds, targets someone on his field of vision, and then takes control of their sight, allowing Leo to see and shift their gaze as if their eyes were his. The debuff lasts up to 10 seconds, and does no damage. Instead, Leo mostly uses it to mess with his enemy's attacks (it's hard to aim when you can't control your own sight), but it can be used to check what they're seeing too.
It's worth mentioning that Leo doesn't directly control his target's eyes; the debuff works more akin to a sofisticated illusion than a telekinetic attack. This means that what the target sees under the effect is not really what their eyes are perceiving, and so are Leo's (since he's seeing what his target does – the distortions from this move included).
Maintaining the debuff takes Leo's full concentration; not only he can't use his other moves while active, but doing anything more taxing than slow movements can break the effect, including receiving any kind of damage. Because of this, crossing the soft limit of his powers automatically cancels the move, so it's unavailable past it.
Depending on the difference between Leo's TEC and his target's, they may be able to resist the debuff, although at least the first second of it will always work as intended, mostly because one needs to realize they're under the effect to fight it. Since its working is subtler than his other attacks, if Leo is not actively shifting his target's vision, they may not notice they're under it. Targets with Insight, Telepathy, and Foresight are better at detecting it.
The higher the target's TEC, the easier is it to notice and resist the effect. It has full effect on targets with half or less than Leo's TEC, and no effect past 2 TEC points over Leo's.
The soft limit for this move stands at 10s (one use at full duration).

Leonardo Watch Wrote:Using his powers won't tire him in the slightest. However, there's still limits on how much time he can use them and/or how much stress his eyes can stand:[/spoiler]
Soft limit: after a certain amount of use, Leo will start feeling the first symptoms of overuse. Crossing the soft limit will make Leo feel pain and dizziness while using his powers from that moment onwards. The more he uses them after crossing it, the stronger the negative side effects.
Hard limit: he's in pain, bleeding, shaking, and can barely stand. He can't use his powers anymore until proper rest.
These effects are acumulative throughout his whole move set, but how much they "add to the cap" will depend on the specific move in question.
