Official Move Approval III

[Athena Myaló]

Yeah i mean it could be a move if only used on secondaries but this is worthy of a super move. Just one last thing. Reduce the time of the deafening by a little cause it is only a tier one and 30 seconds is quite long.

Okay! Final draft:

Illusory Cacophony (Tier 1 Super Utility) - Athena takes several moments (5-10 seconds or so) to concentrate on the mind of the target. Once she has achieved focus (she cannot be actively doing anything else during this time, even semi-automatic functions such as walking), she essentially targets the sound receptors in the brain of the target, causing incredibly loud and discordant noise to explode in their mind. It sounds as if someone hit all the keys of a piano at once right next to each of the target's ears, but even louder, and it cannot be blocked out by covering their ears, since it originates inside their head. The sound starts out powerful enough to block all traces of organized thought. From there, it fades gradually, taking about 15 seconds to peter out completely. (For the first five seconds at least, tasks such as aiming a weapon, hearing any other noises, or communicating are virtually impossible.) As soon as the sound first goes off, Athena can once again turn her attention to other matters. After the 15 seconds, there is no lasting damage to the target. (Side note: this usually even works on deaf targets: it just depends on whether the reason for their deafness is a problem with their ears, or the nerves that transmit auditory signals to their brain.)
(600 OM: Requires Ranged Attack Proficiency, Debuff Proficiency, Homing Proficiency, and Telepathy)

(Also, I took out Area Attack, because there's no reason I would need it for this move specifically the way it's described here, but I'll still buy it before I write my next post.)
