DAZE (MENTAL)
Cost: 1 Energy
Call: “Daze”
The target closes his eyes and slumps his head and may not do anything else. When the mental effect ends the target doesn’t have any memory of what happened during the time he was under. This power ends if the target is attacked. While under the effect of the this power the target may be targeted by other powers as if he were asleep and may not use willpower to resist Dreamshape. Umbrabound creatures in the Umbra may use this power across the Gauntlet by saying “Breach” before the sig call.

Effect Type[edit]

As per the Core Rules..

MENTAL ATTACK
The effect of a mental attack lasts for 10 minutes. These mind-altering attacks are issued with a sig call given within 10 feet of the target. The caster of a mental power must clearly indicate her target in such a way that the target understands the attack is directed at him. A touch may be used to indicate a target, but this touch is considered IG. A target may not willfully ignore an attacker as a way of avoiding her attack.

The sig call for a mental attack is OOG, but may include some words that are spoken IG in the character’s own voice. The target or any witnesses are not aware that a power has been used. Some mental attacks target a 10-foot circle around the caster, signified by the caster spreading her hands to either side as she says the sig call with a “mass” <Meta> call. The caster may end an active mental she caused by touching the target and saying “release <power>” spoken OOG. The target may break a mental power at any time by spending a willpower and saying “resist”. The resist call is OOG.

A mental attack with the Conditioning modifier cannot be resisted or broken with willpower.

If a second mental attack is landed while another is still active, the second attack takes effect, and the first is broken.

Addendum: Mass powers only affect the realm that the caster is in unless the Breach meta call is used. Mass powers will hit targets that are cloaked.
