Exert your Mind and spend 30 seconds to trap a region of any shape that contains your current location and fits entirely within 60 feet of you. This trap lasts one hour or until triggered or disarmed. Choose a type of being that could trigger the trap.

The trap looks like an Afterimage of himself, seemingly waiting on something and looking very vulnerable.. Only those who have seen this trap before can identify it as a trap. Anyone who is aware of the trap may intuitively avoid, trigger, or destroy it.

Any being of the chosen type that enters the chosen region will trigger the trap.

You create a hemispherical dome of lengthening, ominous shadows. originating at the trap, with a radius of 60 feet, and lasting for 5 minutes. The area inside your zone is affected in the following ways:

  • Disorienting: Any time someone moves within or through the zone, they must roll Mind at Difficulty 8. If they fail or botch, they move a similar distance in a different direction of the GM’s choice.
  • Overwhelming: Anyone inside the zone cannot Exert their Mind, and Mind rolls made within the zone are at -2 dice.
The zone expands immediately to its full size from the trap, but will be stopped from spreading in a particular direction by any barriers or cover, and can only fit through openings large enough to fit a grown adult. If a new opening appears while the Effect is still active, it will finish spreading in that direction.

  • Affected targets may still spend Source.
  • If you select a location at the edge of your range, you will be just outside the zone once the Effect is activated
  • Multiple traps cannot be placed in the exact same location or be triggered by the same single Action. Nor can one trap triggering cause another to trigger.
  • Trap can only be spotted by someone who has witnessed this particular trap before, has been informed, or possesses relevant supernatural abilities. They must achieve an Outcome of 4 or higher on a Perception + Alertness roll to do so.
  • The area you choose where the trap can be triggered may be just a single location, similar to a tripwire or a pressure plate, or it can be a proximity trigger which hits anyone who comes within the specified range of the trap. This is defined by you when you place the trap and cannot be changed once the trap is placed.
