This mutation grants the "Confusion" activated ability, which when used, will prompt the player to pick a target tile. 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. | This mutation grants the "Confusion" activated ability, which when used, will prompt the player to pick a target tile.

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 with a [[mental shield]], such as oozes, robots, and plants, cannot be confused. | 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.

Confusion is a mental attack and therefore must penetrate a creature's [[MA]] at least once, otherwise the effect will be resisted{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Mutation|class=Confusion|method=Confuse (MentalAttackEvent, bool, int, int, bool)}} (or reflected if the creature has [[Mental Mirror]] active).

Using Confusion on a neutral creature does not count as a hostile action on it's own, and will not incite aggression from such creatures or their allies. | Using Confusion on a neutral creature does not count as a hostile action on it's own, and will not incite aggression from such creatures or their allies. | ||
