You gain a brief glimpse into the realm of Dreams, learning
the base substance of the dreams or nightmares of a target
creature. You then telepathically filter that knowledge into the
target's waking mind.
This power can be beneficial, allowing a target to uncover
the hidden meanings of his or her dreams. This insight
grants the target a +2 bonus to their choice of attack rolls or
saving throws for the duration.
Alternatively, this power can be used to force a creature to
re-live its nightmares. The target makes a wisdom saving
throw, being frightened of you for the duration on a failure.
While frightened in this way, the creature takes a -2 penalty to
attack rolls. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the
end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.
This power has no effect on creatures unable to dream
(such as kalashtar or shardminds), but has its normal effect
on elves (whose trance is a sufficiently dreamlike state).
Augment. If you spend 2 additional psi points, a creature
frightened by this power is also stunned for the duration.

The illusions include audible, visual, tactile, and olfactory
elements, so it can turn clear ground into difficult terrain (or

Creatures with truesight can see the terrain's true form;
however, all other elements of the illusion remain, so while
the creature is aware of the illusion's presence, the creature
can still physically interact with the illusion.

unusual circumstances require it (if, for example, precautions
against Clairsentience have been taken). If the dice roll fails,
