Okay, time to release a Semblance for my first named OC. Hopefully I didn't screw this up too bad.

-Name: Fantasy

-User: Susanna Iternata

-Introduction: The user can show the affected what they want to see the most.

-Description: By condensing her Aura and having it make contact with another, Susanna can show that person a vision of what they want to see the most during a given time play out “perfectly.” The vision the affected sees will be through their perspective. Susanna chooses what time period they have their fantasy. The length of the vision is dependent on the amount if Aura used, although little time passes in reality.

-Range: Medium

-Type: Conjuration

-Purpose: Utility

-Visual Cue: The color of Susanna’s Aura (pale red) slightly shines around the target for the duration of the effect.

-Tier 1: Susanna can show the affected whatever they want to see the most, and the affected will see the events play out exactly to their liking. For every 10% of Susanna’s Aura used, the target is shown 1 minute of their “perfect” fantasy, with 0.1 seconds passing in reality. Only 1 target can be affected at a time.

-Tier 2: Susanna now requires 7% of her Aura to show the affected 1 minute of their fantasy.

-Tier 3: Susanna now requires 5% of her Aura to show each affected 1 minute of their fantasy. She can now affect up to 2 people at once.

-Tier 4: Susanna now requires 3% of her Aura to show each affected 1 minute of their fantasy. She gains the ability to release 20% of her Aura in a “burst” to show everyone, including herself, within a 5 ft (~1.5 m) radius 1 minute of their fantasy. The effect lasts 0.2 seconds in reality per minute of fantasy.

-General Limitations:
 * 1) Susanna must know enough details about the affected’s actions during the period of time the fantasy is set to in order to make it believable. Due to this, she tends to set the fantasies others see in the moment the Semblance activated.
 * 2) Susanna has to condense her Aura before it can activate her Semblance and this condensed Aura must make contact with the target. If Susanna makes contact with the target, she has to first condense her Aura before her Semblance can affect the target.
 * 3) Anyone with their Aura unlocked passively resists its effects, increasing the cost by approximately 1.5x. This cost can be increased further if the targets actively resist its effects. People with Auras can stop resisting the effects to allow the Semblance to activate without any additional cost.
 * 4) Those that have experienced this Semblance prior can begin to notice slight differences between the fantasy and reality. Those that know they are under Susanna’s influence and wish to return to reality can expend a portion of their Aura to prematurely end the effect, making successive uses of the Semblance less effective in combat.
 * 5) If Susanna does the area of effect version of her Semblance, the effect is ended the instant Susanna is brought back to reality. This is to say if Susanna ends the Semblance’s effect on herself, the effect is also ended on everyone else affected. This relationship does not work the other way around.
 * 6) The effect is prematurely ended when the target receives a “decent” impact. This makes this Semblance fairly unsuited for landing heavy, successive hits in combat.

-Applications:
 * 1) When Susanna is backed into a corner, she sometimes uses it to momentarily disorient her opponents during battles by showing them something completely unrelated to the current situation or by showing them winning.
 * 2) She also, but rarely, uses it to let herself get i a good hit, but the heavy Aura cost and reduced effectiveness over multiple uses means she uses this primarily as a trump card.
 * 3) She sometimes uses it in situations of mass panic to calm a majority of those nearby, even if for a moment. This sometimes diverts some of the Grimm elsewhere, thinning the oncoming force. However, this does not have a consistent success rate and is only used as a last resort.

-Notes:
 * 1) The costs are just guidelines for approximately how long the effect lasts against an average person without Aura.
 * 2) Susanna doesn’t need to make contact with the target in order to activate her Semblance. Ranged Aura attacks like Aura slashes can also be used. However, the condensed Aura causes the attacks to fade a lot faster than they normally would, greatly reducing their effective range.
 * 3) She hasn’t tried using this Semblance on animals, and probably never will. As such, she doesn’t know if it actually will work on animals (it does). It doesn’t work on Grimm.
