You guys know what happpens when you reread things at 0200? Ideas happen. and my 0200 ideas are never good.

So, Semblance ideer. Fear:The controler has the ability to manipulate the area around them to cause paranoia and fear by creating an "energy" that causes anywhere from subtle to acute halucinations of both feelings and visions. Essentially a weaker aura focused more on disorienting than fighting. At it's weakest it causes subtle changes to the enviroment based on the user's thoughts or emotional state. Emanating a hypnotic element that can cause those affected to 'feel' their state of mind. Such as someone who was angry might cause others to feel hatred either towards themselves or undirected into the enviroment. When focused it can allow a user to create complete hallucinations. Creating an ambient enviroment from the user causing shadow figures that, combined with the targets paranoia can seem to take the form of what they fear or hate. Causing confusion in combat or even sapping one's will to fight. This can allow ambushes and counter attacks, even in a completely open enviroment though it's more effective in cluttered closed in enviroments where the shadows can be made to cause ordinary objects seem like dangers.

It's mostly based on suggestion, and those of sharp trained minds can be immune to less focused attacks and render the trick useless if they can see the shadows for what they are. Shadows. It has no direct offensive capability as the apperations cannot physically contact anything. It simply causes one to feel negative emotions and from there the formless shadows are turned into either horrifing creatures, or enraging people depending on what the target is percieving.

Something I thought of while rereading the Revenge of the Butler arc of Day One at Beacon Academy. To explain why Servus had such an effect on Zaffre and Black. Urdin being exempted because well let's face it. He's a little oblivious at times, and is used to the seemingly passive effect of it from being around the butler so much. It could have been him simply passivly emiting his semblance. I dunno, it's 3am. I'm tired.

But what do you guys think. Psycho Butler being able to haunt you in the middle of combat like a deamon?
