Legacy Power: Evoke Illusion

My greatest desires, come to me!

A 1 Gift Illusion Power used by Raze Evernoth, created by Raze4_thewin.

Description

They say the only thing stopping you from changing the world is your imagination... This is now the case for Raze Evernoth. After his hellish night in the haunted house, the memer couldn't stop thinking about what he could've used to kill that alien-thing - the Blade of Selves, or perhaps a gun would've helped! But he had none... Yet he wanted it all: he wanted - no, NEEDED - the power to save and protect those dear to him, and the Contract responded to him. He felt a sudden surge in his body, tingling from his toes all the way into the deepest parts of his brain... Then his phone made a ding: a new update? That's impossible! He has the current software, but... Now his phone felt heavier - or maybe it felt like it had new purpose.

Then, the screen glowed and it displayed a set of images - directions for a new action he could perform. He did so, mimicking the clawing of a cat before the screen lit up and the projection of a kitten would appear in front of him.... It walked around him, brushing its tail against his leg. Did... Did he do this? Or... Was this from the contract? Little did he know that this would be the start of many great things to come...

System

Exert your Mind, spend an Action, and make a Wits + Occult Difficulty 6. The Difficulty depends on the complexity of the intended illusion and is at the GM's discretion. Success allows you to generate a visual illusion that is No larger than a briefcase and is attached to either a target or a Location. The illusion will remain in place for 1 Minute.

This illusion may have moving parts, but they will stick to a fixed, predetermined, simple motion unless you maintain concentration in order to "puppeteer" them. If it is attached to a target, it will follow them when they move, but otherwise cannot move to a new location on it's own. Making them engage in complex, spontaneous interaction with the real world may require additional rolls.

Upon observing an active illusion, a person can make a Mind roll, difficulty 7. If their Outcome is greater than the Outcome on your initial roll, they realize they are viewing an illusion, though it will still be visible to them for the duration. If they investigate the illusion and notice it is non-corporeal or otherwise behaves in a bizarre manner, they conclude it is an illusion without a roll.

An illusion can show any image that fits the size restriction, but it cannot create a direct replica of an existing living being, and it may only affect a person's sense of sight, not hearing, smell, taste, touch, or other senses.

Illusions cannot be used as attacks. For example, you cannot create an illusion of the sun to blind people.
