The photokinetic power to bend light with one's mind to generate illusions. Also known as Mirage Generation or Illusion Casting.
Capability
Illusion Manipulation can trick people into seeing unreal things. The illusions are not tangible, but are very realistic to unbeknown subjects. High level users can even effect sound waves in some sense, to add to the mirage's deception.
Can send forth illusory mazes, bursts of synthetic light, put on a veiling disguise, or even visually transform the landscape.
Limits
- May not allow users to evoke desired illusion.
Variations
- Delusional Perception (Hallucinatory/Illusory Perception)
- Hallucination Inducing (Delusion Inducing)
Techniques
Some can perform:
- "Labyrinth Evocation": To distort perception so that the environment resembles a maze.
- "Psychosomatic Symptoms": These illusions can also kill, as their victims bodies respond as if the illusions are real. Such as the illusion that someone was drowning, and believing it to be real, they would be suffocated, despite having no physical injuries and being in a room with sufficient oxygen. Another example is the bleeding through the pores in their back when they were under the illusion that they had been stabbed.
- "Nightmare": Create a illusion that embodies the victims worse dreams; knowledge of their nightmare would be needed to use this technique.
- "Sensual Overload": By creating multiple illusions and layering on to each other, a overload may occur in the victim brain's. Resulting in a sharp pain, blackouts or death. Also occurs when two illusionist fight each other.
