...So what's the point then? It's just a damage spell with no additional effects and an excessive amount of flavor text that needs to be typed up.
Okay.

If all you want to do is emulate Five Nights as Freddy's, there are easier ways. Such as having the ability to deploy some sort of eldritch phantasm or okuri-inu that approaches when someone doesn't look, so they have to balance between keeping it at bay and not getting hit by other incoming attacks.

I thought mines was more interesting. Mostly because scaring people silly is fun.

Not that much after the first time and they figure that running headfirst into the first enemy ends it quite early. Horror is quite subjective after all. Plus I would imagine that suspension of disbelief is rather difficult when the people know that everything they see are just a bunch of arcane illusions.

Running head first into an enemy would kill them though...

What, as in, instant kill? Then how is that remotely a straight damage ability? That's an instant-kill with high failure chance spell.

No, once they do what is needed to 'win' they get spat out. If they take damage they get spat out with damage if not oh well.

Then isn't that a potential instant kill? Are you arguing that because it can also deal damage in addition to having a chance to insta-kill means that it isn't an instant kill?

If we're talking like this isn't every power an instant kill.

You people realize instant kill shit is fine as long as it affects mooks and whatnot, and affects bosses, mini-bosses, and other players differently?

And you also realize you're talking about this in an extremely meta way? Like, using someone's phobia to scare the shit out of them, you really think they can just run right through?

I'mma have a zero tolerance policy for metagaming bullshit, I'll say it right here. I've been on family vacation and unable to work on stuff as I'd like but I'll get to stuff after the wedding, probably. Blargh.

Issue is, it isn't a person's phobia targeted at them (which would make far more sense), it's just a random horror game which would have a few issues including effects on non-human entities. I don't think the prospect of getting shoved into a suit full of crossbeams on something such as say, Ichabod, would be too effective.

My argument is not about the use of fear, but rather the idea of randomly trapping people in replicas of random horror games.

Not in the mood Kj. I will never be in the mood. I don't care who started it, you continued it, so stop.

Well yeah, Empiricist. Not everything will be equally effective on everyone, not least because there'll be some bosses who are just plain immune to powers like that. Sucks to be you. Get over it. Sometimes you have to try and help in other ways and be creative. Or just get busy trying not to die. Fear is unlikely to work on an AI. Or anything that's literally mindless. Might confuse 'em pretty bad, but not the same.
