I'm back!

This ability is very powerful in terms of psychological warfare via subliminal messanging and has potential applications in information gathering. The defenition of horrifying is subjective-ish and might relate to subconcious fears such as a fear of the unknown. This could relate to an effective means of communication if conjuring specific images relates to a kind of code. Also, this could be used to attract Grimm/ train against fear. This illusion semblance could also be used as a means of stealth in plain sight via the human fear of isolation. Could this also cause an altered perception of time?

If the semblance requires direct eye contact, then the semblance is useless in combat in most scenarios as they will be most focused on body language in order to predict blows and might be hindered by explosions like those of Ember Celicia.

In general, if the user can create terrifying images, they are overpowered because horrifying is too loosely defined.
