By playing on his subconscious fears, this discipline persuades the subject that the empath is someone dangerous. To use this discipline, the empath must be able to communicate verbally with the subject. The empath talks to the subject in a threatening manner and, if a mental save is failed, the subject moves away from the empath. This is not headlong flight - it's a controlled retreat, at the subject's normal TMR - but it is directly away from the empath. The effects last for 1d20 rounds (+1 round/rank). This discipline cannot be used in a combat situation.
