You draw on ghostly essences to cause horrific apparent changes to take place in the environment, such as people appearing dead or rotting, walls peeling or bleeding, and food decaying. This power has different effects based on how close creatures are to the affected area. Multiple effects stack - for example, if a creature is inside the area, they are also affected as if they were within 30 feet, 10 feet, and inside the area. If a creature would be affected by more than one if the following effects, it makes saves against each effect separately, in order.
Within 30 feet: Creatures within 30 feet of the affected area must succeed at a Will save or suffer a -2 penalty on saves against any of your other mind-affecting powers for as long as they remain within 30 feet of the affected area, and one minute thereafter.
Within 10 feet: Creatures within 10 feet of the affected area must succeed at a Will save or become shaken for as long as they remain within 10 feet of the affected area, and one minute thereafter.
Inside: Creatures that are inside the affected area must succeed at a Will save or be frightened for as long as they remain within the affected area, and 5 rounds thereafter.
Augment: By spending an additional 6 power points, all creatures within the area that fail their save also become confused for as long as they remain within the affected area.
