Deceptive Cast

Basic Mental Method [Metacast]

Prerequisites: Mental Rank 2, Deception Rank 3

Casting Prerequisite: To gain the benefit of this Metacast ability you must be Rank 4 or higher in the philosophy relevant to the power you are casting.

Free Action

Cost: CT +1

Effect: By making extra gestures that don't interfere with casting and mimicking certain other components, you attempt to disguise your power to look like a different power that you know. Increase the DC to determine the spell you are casting by 10. If a creature attempts to determine what you are casting and fails, but would have succeeded normally, they believe you are casting the spell you have disguised it as. If the creature would not have succeeded normally, then they get no information (as normal).

Special: Only one Metacast ability may be used on a single casting of a power.
