[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 2289381, member: 525"] You don't have to sneak up. Erasing all awareness of you from the targets mind would also mean erasing any memory of you being there. These memories would return when the spell expired of course but they are gone during the spell duration. Or would they, if the power erased all awarness then the memory of the psion is gone. The spell has its uses. If there is only one guard in a hallway you walk up, use the power and then walk right past him. The real question is what does the target know when the spell expires. Does the target suddenly get flooded with all the suppressed memories? From my example above. Bob the Psion walks up the a guard. The guards yells halt or die. Bob invokes this power and walks past the guard. Five minutes later when the duration ends what happens? Does the guard only remember someone walking up to him the disapearing? Or does he remember the psion walking right past him? This would be important since it tells you whether or not the guard will run down the hall looking for you or if he will shake his head and decide he drank too much the night before. My guess is he remembers nothing once the power is used since it says ERASES which means nothing is there to remember. He doesnt remember the psion walked up since that awarness was erased as part of making him not know the psion was there. If it said supressed instead of erased them the guard would know then. Hmmm, I think my new psion just gained a new fun power to start using. ;-) [/QUOTE]
