This discipline conjures a beast within the target's mind with 30 (+3 per rank) hit points. The empath must see the target to use this discipline, but such sighting could be through the medium of magical means such as a Crystal Ball. The phantasm will attack the victim until either the victim or the phantasm is killed. The target may attack the phantasm with any normal attacks, despite the fact that the creature exists only in his own mind; the target believes the phantasm to be real and will fight it in a normal manner. The phantasm does not need to roll to hit. It will automatically hit with every attack. It will never score a critical or grievous hit.
The phantasm may be dispelled by a successful empath or telepath special knowledge counter-discipline or a Mind Block. The target of the Phantasm is allowed a Mental save. If successful, the Phantasm's Defense is reduced by 30, its Protection is halved (round up) and its bonus damage is halved (round up) (i.e., if it would normally do 1d10+5, it does 1d10+3).
