The user throws a psychic rose either forwards, or towards an ally, projecting a telekinetic barrier between themselves and an attack. These roses are created out of Danny's psychic energies, and as such can't be held or interacted with until this effect is activated. The barrier is light pink, translucent and completely encompasses the target.
Telekinetic barriers work by using psychic waves that naturally occur in living beings, and condenses those into a psychical construct. This can potentially be done with other kinds of constructs, but barriers are the simplest of forms to create due to their simplistic design within the mind.
Spend an Action or Reaction and use up this Psychic Rose. Select a Animate target within 20 feet. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
If you succeed, you create a barrier around your target, which absorbs the next Outcome +4 Damage. Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of 4. Their Armor applies in full. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage.

a reflection of something else in the area, which can be no larger than a person is generated at your target, and it will remain in place for the next minute or you choose to end it. It can be perceived by people through their sight. The illusion cannot be used as an attack. You may create a replica of a specific being or Object, though it is still limited by what you do or do not know about the subject.
Anyone who touches the illusion (or who would be able to perceive it significantly through a sense it cannot fool) realizes it is an illusion, and the entire effect will be ended for all targets.
The illusion will remain fixed to its initial target, and can only change locations if the initial target is mobile in some way. It may have moving parts and engage in simple, predetermined movements but cannot perform anything complex or interactive unless you maintain Concentration and “puppeteer” it.
