The “mysterious traveler” rumor continues for three full days.
Critical (20)
People in the area of effect are so taken with the psionicist that they try to follow him for 24 hours.
Description
This power begins a contagious rumor about the psionicist’s whereabouts and direction of travel. The subjects take extraordinary notice of the psionicist. dress, appearance, mannerisms and spend an entire day remarking about the traveler they have seen. Their memory is entirely accurate except when it comes to his direction and mode of travel. A subject may say he was an “extraordinary elf, who made his way south out of town on the caravan.” to one acquaintance, then insist an hour later that he “ran from town to the northwest.” All characters within the power’s area of effect continue these rumors all day, except that characters who personally know the psionicist are unaffected. Unaffected people who hear the rumor may pass it along normally. The power can throw pursuers off the right track. Used in a city’s market, the collective rumors quickly place the psionicist all over town. Used among nomadic elves, the psionicist might be rumored to be anywhere among the Seven Cities in a matter of days.
