Kind of an opposite companion of
Mental Eclipse. This ability will cause people around you to notice you, pay attention to you and focus on you. When affected by the ability people will want to be near you and listen to you. It's a subtle but strong attraction. The affected will find themselves incapable of resiting the effect and it's so subtle they will likely not notice unless they harbor a strong dislike for you.
Note that the ability does not make them like what you have to say or what you do, they simply cannot help paying attention to you. The effect is temporary and will have no lasting effects once the ability has run its course. The ability can also be weaponized to cause an intense fear and reverence towards you in the target. This fear-effect is however limited to 2, plus your value in
Psion, people.
Any person who is in the same general area as you, can see you and hear you, will be affected by this ability when it is activated. They must make a mental save against the amount of PSI points you spent, and if they fail the save, they are affected. (For large crowds, the GM can average out the people affected with one or a couple of saves and determine if most, or few, people are affected. The GM can also rule to approximate without any checks, fitting the narrative.
A psion who is under the effect of
Mental Shield will not be affected by this ability in any way. They do not need to make a check at all. However, should they attempt
Psionic Backlash they will be affected if they fail.
