With a bare flex of will, the Kitsune subtly creates an illusion within her range.
The illusion works due to Kayleigh's latent ability to 'stretch out' her soul over a larger area. Coupled with her vibrant imagination, Kayleigh wills something to exist and it does, if only in an illusory manner.
This ability is still incredibly nascent and untrained, but Kayleigh is clever. She can figure this out.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 45 feet. You must actively and obviously use a mask to activate this Effect. Choose an illusion to generate, which can be no larger than a person.
The chosen illusion is generated at your target, and it will remain in place as long as you maintain Concentration or you choose to end it. It can be perceived by people through their smell, hearing, and sight. The illusion cannot be used as an attack. You may create a replica of a specific being or Object, though it is still limited by what you do or do not know about the subject.
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 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.

Lex approaches a stranger and draws them into a conversation about the weather.

Cleatus has always been quick as a whip, well. Physically, but this latest gift has given him an extra pep in his step that takes him beyond that kind of thing. After getting particularly drunk during his last outing, Cleatus woke up practically constantly as loose and relaxed as he had been when he was sauced. Now constantly benefiting from that state of snappy relaxation, Cleatus finds it easier than ever to react and roll his way into battle.
