The power to force a target to see the evil side of their own soul. Sub-power of Telepathy. Opposite to Lightside View. Not to be confused with Penance Stare or Evil Eye.

Also Called[]

  • Darkside Viewing/Confrontation
  • Bad outweigh the Good

Capabilities[]

The user can force target to face their inner evil, either in a mental struggle or bring the victim's dark side into the world as a physical being. When a darkness is faced, it's arguably more powerful than the good half of the being. They're basically a physical manifestation of the being's past wrongdoing, or current doing. They know the being like they know themselves, and that's a frightening thought. Victims are either corrupted, driven insane, or outright killed by the sensation of this ability.

Associations[]

Limitations[]

  • Target with no evil in their hearts are unaffected.
  • Targets who are powered by evil will become even more dangerous.
  • Targets with a Indomitable Will, Strong Heart, and/or Strong Soul are highly resistant and/or overcome their dark urges.
  • Since the power requires a heart/soul for the power to work, targets who are Heartless/Soulless are unaffected.
  • May require physical or eye contact to work.
  • User may not be able to do other things while using this ability depending on the nature/origin of the ability.
