Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a target within arm's reach. Choose an illusion to generate, which can be no larger than a person.
The chosen illusion is generated at your target, and it will remain in place for the next minute. It can be perceived by people through their hearing, smell, and sight. The illusion cannot be used as an attack. You cannot make an exact replica of an existing Animate being.
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 can choose to perceive it or not at will.
The illusion is not fixed to the initial target, and may move about at a maximum speed 30 feet per Round. 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.
Sergeres held his creation forward and the manuscript flipped open. The pages slowly turning, revealing a soft light within. His power was that of the author. But this power was even more sacred.

The jacket whips back and forth, as if caught within a storm, as the wearer holds their hands out. Nearby unattended water flows towards them, forming a bubble between their hands. As the Lake Lord's eyes glow a vibrant blue, the bubble grows and glows in turn, before the wearer claps their hands together and the ritual ends. The wearer can feel the presence of the detected beings as if they were ripples on an endless, still ocean.
The Lake Lord is a being of purest water, and thus oddities are keenly clear to it. It's influence of purity only extends to its own body, however. And so the Conduit comes into play. The conduit's role is to internalize the power of the Lake Lord, then push that power outwards to affect the world.

The "Reaper" Assault Helmet is the signature piece of the Future Soldier's arsenal. It has a sleek, design and is made of a mysterious matte-metallic alloy. The wearer's face is exposed normally, but when activated, a blue holographic visor flickers to life in front of the eyes. This HUD contains information about the soldier's ammunition and shield status, but more significantly can detect enemy combatants.
