By writing in the book with fresh ink, your words come alive at the command once upon a time, literally jumping off the page and taking form before you.
Exert your Mind and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: drawing the wanted illusion and reciting once upon a time. Select a target within arm's reach. You must use up 10ml Ink in order to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted. Choose an illusion to generate, which can be no larger than a briefcase.
The chosen illusion is generated at your target, and it will remain in place until it is dispelled or you choose to end it. It can be perceived by people through all of their senses. The illusion cannot be used as an attack. You cannot make an exact replica of an existing Animate being or Object.
Anyone who struggles against the illusion hard enough to break a window or who would be damaged by the illusion realizes it is an illusion, and the entire effect will be ended for all targets.
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.
Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: Natural storyteller; you must roll self control when you reveal information to others to not exaggerate, and make it more interesting. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.
Tatalov raises his hand high above his head as it ignites, turning into its flaming skeletal form. He places it against his chest. His body seems to emit smoke as the sound of his heartbeat begins to echo out from him in waves. Those effected are launched away as the heartbeat reaches them, as a small blast of blue flame explodes from them.
By focusing on his own anger, Tatalov senses the anger of others and expells it from the zone, taking the person with it.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
Create a repulsion field which extends out 45 feet from you in every direction, and lasts for the next 5 Rounds. Any Animate targets within the field cannot move any closer towards you.

You must maintain Concentration during this Effect.
When you activate this effect, you may designate any number of specific individuals to exclude from the Effect. Anyone designated in this way is unaffected by the repulsion field, and can approach you as normal.

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 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.
