As detailed above, Mind-based Effects can plant visions, auditory hallucinations, and other quirks of perception. Only the affected character perceives such “delusions,” though, and so she may be considered a little bit batty – perhaps even certifiable – by people who haven’t been targeted by those mental illusions.

Meanwhile, the Life Sphere can trigger deceptive phenomena across the entire range of senses simply by adjusting the body chemistry and electrical impulses associated with those senses; in this case, though, the mage has got to know what he’s doing if he wants those delusions to have the desired effect.
