Nathan provides a mirror reflecting the target creature. As they do so, walking into the image is his reflection who snaps off a fragment of itself and drives it into the target, embedding it deep within their reflection.
It is spread throughout the entity where it then is able to puppet the body... Its body.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Creature within 20 feet. You must actively and obviously use a mirror to activate this Effect.
For the next day, you may issue specific commands to your target which they will be compelled to follow.
Your commands can be complex and multi-layered, though they must still be specific. You cannot make them obviously endanger themselves or violate their instinct for self-preservation. The effects of the command will fade after a day has passed.
Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

The owner of this technique constantly has a thinly veiled line of CE around them that activates in response to trauma, physically or not. In exchange for not being able to advance this regeneration consciously, the CE is greatly reduced on the users of the technique. Masters of the ability are able to shrug off major wounds, but at its base it functions slower.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Any Injury you receive from a source other than Silver heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.
As long as at least half your body remains intact, you cannot die and remain at Incapacitated, regardless of how many Injuries you take. It is clear to observers that you are still alive.
Injuries you receive from Silver are increased in Severity by 1.

Spend an Action. Select a Location within 45 feet.
something moving across or alongside a road, which can be no larger than a person is generated at your target, and it will remain in place for the next 3 Rounds or you choose to end it. It can be perceived by people through their sight. The illusion cannot be used as an attack. You cannot make an exact replica of an existing Animate being or Object.
Anyone who touches the illusion (or who would be able to perceive it significantly through a sense it cannot fool) realizes it is an illusion, and the entire effect will be ended for all targets.
The illusion will remain fixed to its initial Location. 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.
You may use rough roads as though you were standing within your illusion. Doing so dispels the Illusion. Anyone who has already seen through the illusion is unaffected by any Powers channeled through it.
