(During activation, it is obvious the environmental effect is issuing forth from you. )

Freeman waves his hand, casting a scene of artificial night, striped with shafts of light from twin moons, and twisting and changing like a waking dream.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 60 feet of you.

You create a hemispherical dome of unnatural nighttime with full moonlight shadows and shifting paths originating at the chosen Location, with a radius of 60 feet, and lasting for 5 minutes. You are fully immune to the effects of your zone. 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.
The zone expands immediately to its full size from the chosen Location, 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.

  • If you select a location at the edge of your range, you will be just outside the zone once the Effect is activated
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
