Reflection's Call "Squawk sqauwk sqauwk!"

2
The power to communicate over great distances.
Used by Nathan Hong, Created by Ltyinkwint.
(Activating this Effect is not obvious. The only sign you are using an Effect is the target's reflection appearing in your eye. )

Nathan projects his spirit, taking control over the target's reflection, possessing the nearby reflective surfaces while doing so. The target perceives their reflection communicating with them, with odd behavior, and sensations that overlap both the mirrored surfaces that the reflection occupies and their own mind.
