This will also display the effective area of the ability, which will be a cone shape originating from the player. The size and angle of this cone are determined by mutation level.


Any creatures caught within the cone of the ability will be inflicted with the {{Qud text|&Rconfused}} status, penalizing their {{DV}}[[DV]], [[MA]], [[Willpower]], [[Intelligence]], and [[Ego]] by a mutation level-based amount. It will also cause them to move and act semi-randomly. This effect will last for a number of rounds as determined by mutation level. Creatures without a mind, such as oozes, robots, and plants, cannot be confused.
