The power to inflict mental trauma on a target.
Used by Dean Donovan, Created by mmmsquid.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. )

Some horrors are a little too much for the human mind, but others are watered down enough to simply leave them with horrible mental scars instead.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Sapient target within 20 feet. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you severity-4 injury. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma. Roll Charisma + Occult Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, your target will take 2 points of Mind Damage and gains two new Traumas of your choice. The Trauma should be general and not specifically mention you. You should not have to be involved to trigger the Trauma.

these Traumas cannot be removed by spending Experience and undergoing mundane therapy. Targets that receive a new Trauma are aware that you are interacting with them but they do not view it as an attack or view the resulting Trauma as malicious. If their Trauma is treated, they will be able to see the reality of the situation.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: you must roll self control in order to act in a regular manner, rather than be overtaken by intense religious fervour once per contract..

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
