I have a batch of conceptual supers that I think need some peer review.
Tier 1 Utility: Mayaparitsatya
Concentrating the full force of his chimerical might, Harlan brings a location from his imagination to life. The immediate area surrounding him, up to the size of one city block (1000 square feet), transforms into another environment constructed entirely of realistic illusions. It can be any setting Harlan chooses, typically somewhere cluttered with objects and hiding spaces he can use to take advantage of his Obfuscate ability. Everything feels real and is able to be affected normally, with the exception that attempting to destroy an illusory object makes it burst in a cloud of smoke. This setting cannot include harmful accoutremonts such as traps and lethal objects, although it can be constructed to appear that way.
------------
Also, would the following move require telepathy or just debuff?
Tier 1 Utility: Lovecraft in Brooklyn
Weaving Tremere Blood Magic and the Malkavian discipline of Dementation into his own chimerical power, Harlan physically touches an opponent's head. He must maintain contact for three seconds or else the move fails. Once the requirement is fulfilled, the opponent immediately experiences a drastic change in their state of mind. They become overwhelmed with paranoia, fear, and suspicion, hallucinating their own personal nightmares and failures. These apparitions will actually appear as fully formed illusions, and act out behaviors that would most unnerve the victim. They have no power to harm and cannot be banished, although each individual manifestation disappears within ten seconds at the most.
If they are fighting with someone, their allies are regarded with just as much suspicion and discontent as Harlan himself, to the point of refusal to fight together.
The altered mental state results in a heavy penalty to TEC and SPD while the victim watches shadows and mumbles justifications to themself. The effects last a full two minutes, after which the debuff and hallucinatory illusions go away but the paranoia and fear remain for another 10 minutes.
