Capabilities[]

The user has the ability to generate illusions that make them seem like they have other powers. The "power" can be any power, as long as it isn't a mind-altering one (though this ability could "semi-somapsychotically" affect a target's mind).

These illusions may be easier to create then other illusions, as they only need to be active when the "power" is being used and don't have to cover an entire area.

Depending on the user's illusion type: light-based, perception-based, etc., they may also be able to slightly affect the physical.

Applications[]

Self-Power Bestowal (in illusion)
Power Anchoring (of fake abilities)

May seem to have non-mental powers (other than sensory powers), such as:
