Effect
Alter minor details about your appearance in the perception of all observers: change the color of your coat, the shape of your hat, a scar’s position, several distinguishing features.
The illusion is visual only and doesn’t hold up to physical inspection.
At your option, you may instead appear as a specific person the observer has met (behavior differences may reveal the deception — Insight vs. your Channeling Sum to notice).
Duration: Until you end it or take damage.
Steps
+1 additional detail changed per Step.
Special
Does not affect mirrors, reflective surfaces, or photographs. Your true appearance shows in reflections. This is a narrative detail that observant NPCs may notice.
