Nightmare Visions

Sometimes the true danger is the unspoken fears living in someone's head. That is the very thing that can stop them.

Effect

Basic Effects: Weaving the Onyx currents around your target and you, connecting them briefly, you seek to pierce the mind of your target. The target must make a Sagacity Defensive Test. If it succeeds, it merely takes 4d6 psychic damage from resisting your assault. If it fails, it takes 6d6 psychic damage, and you summon forth some sort of strange beast, shaped by the deepest darkest nightmares of your target. The creature has only one objective, as an extension of your will and drive. To tear apart the mind and body of the target. It has two claw attacks that each deal 1d10+your Persona Boost psychic damage, has wounds equal to 2 times the damage dealt by the initial spell, and an AS equal to your Persona Score. It counts as incorpereal. It moves at your move speed, and can only move and attack the target from which it spawned. It also uses your Base Action Bonus as its own, which does apply to its claw attacks. It does not cost you any actions for it to take a turn even though it acts on your turns. If its wound count is brought to 0, it is destroyed. It fades away when the spell ends or when you stop maintaining the spell-form.

Side/Secondary Effects

Tier II Effects: You may target one additional creature in range.

Tier III Effects: You may target one additional creature in range.

Manifestation

Antony felt the deep probe in his mind, and with horror saw the child return. It was all these years later but clearly this old witch was the same apostate he had chased through alleys and slums in Rydan many years previously. That same child tore into him, as all he could do was weep, the now old man, no strength left for the fight.
