Nathan focuses on a reflective object, particularly its reflective nature, and pushes it out, molding it around him. The object temporarily loses its capability to reflect while Nathan's reflection absorbs this and becomes more geometric.

You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is Nathan's reflection becoming slightly more geometric. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.

All of the events that transpire in a location, all the thoughts and feelings of the creatures that inhabit the area, all of these things come together to form a spirit that reflects all these things. Technically, the entire universe has formed a spirit. Carpathia is just able to speak to a specific piece. But these spirits are unknowable, and if Carpathia is not careful she can be overcome by the sheer weight of the history around her. The world is rarely so directly hostile towards one of it's inhabitants, especially one as tied to it as Carpathia, but it can overestimate her psyche.

With out second though and driven by addrenaline he tried to use this power to take just enough injurys to save the mans life and in the end he himself collapsed.

The mutant now occasionally lays large, orange-speckled eggs. These Eggs do not hatch nor spoil. If cracked and applied to a chronic injury such as a missing limb, the scar heals completely within the hour.

The illusion will remain fixed to its initial target, and can only change locations if the initial target is mobile in some way. It may have moving parts and engage in simple, predetermined movements but cannot perform anything complex or interactive unless you maintain Concentration and “puppeteer” it.
