By forcing his or her will into the mind of another and implanting a few choice thoughts, a psion can make a person believe that he or she is suffering from any number of horrible ailments. These phantom ailments are to the afflicted, perfectly real. The severity and type of ailment that a psion is able to afflict is largely determined by his or her metapsionics skill. The chance of being detected by the victim, as well as the duration of the affliction depends heavily upon the willpower and constitution of the target. Proper treatment will cure these ailments in the same way it cures traditional illness.
