Presence 7

While Presence generally creates emotions in people, Mind Numb actually removes them. When a character uses this power, those around him lose whatever emotions they were feeling, retaining only a dull numbness. They lose all motivation or reason for action and tend to do nothing. They do continue any rote tasks to which they have been habituated, and even begin such tasks if left with nothing else to do (thus they might begin to vacuum if that is what they were doing a short time before). While this power does not lower victims' Intelligence, they think about nothing except whatever sensory input they are currently receiving. They will not react to anything but simple and immediate input (such as a hot object put in their hand) because they feel nothing about it. They will not get angry at someone who yells at them and will not become frightened if put in danger.
