Invisibility (psionic)

Invisibility was a psionic power of the telepathy discipline that concealed the subject from being seen by others. Although similar to the magical invisibility spell in many ways, it had a key difference: it affected the very minds of witnesses to a subject, not the light between them or other physical signs of their presence. Hence it was weaker in some areas but more potent in others.

Effects
After making contact with the minds of witnesses and creating a delusion, the manifester or their chosen subjects became invisible to their sight. Early on, the effectiveness of this was limited by the manifester's ability and the comparative experience of the witnesses; a witness more powerful than the manifester could still see the subject. The invisible being must be human-sized or smaller. The manifester also must specifically choose the minds of those they wished to be invisible from, within, which could increase risk of failure or the cost of psionic energy, but others could still see them easily. An invisible being could still see their own person, of course.

However, the invisible subject was difficult to detect using any kind of magic, though detect invisibility was effective against it. A mind bar power was needed to shield the mind to reveal the invisibility.

This form of invisibility naturally only affected vision. Other senses, like hearing or touch, were unaffected.

Prerequisite Powers
It could require contact and mindlink to learn.
