Synopsis
cast 'summon whisps' <victim>
Description
Occasionally, when particularly strong or tempting magic is used, fragments of the Astral plane will cross into the Physical. The smallest and most permeable of these, the littlest of the little nasties can manifest as real, biological entities, despite being what might be best described as moments of deja vu in their environment.
These manifest as whisps (or, sometimes, wisps), moments of confusion taken shape and given substance that serve primarily to confuse the nearest thing to them for the few moments they have before the rawness of the Physical plane causes them to dissipate.
Whisps serve as a light source for their victims, but will cause significant visual illusions to manifest as long as the victim is distracted by combat. Some frequent hallucinations might look like:
- The opponent fleeing when, in fact, they are not;
- a phantom figure appearing;
- indistinct things, causing distress and temporarily removing stats;
- nightmarish memories, resulting in charm damage
