This function generates an optical illusion that takes the form of a two dimensional 1// square pane. The pane can be oriented in any way, but the image displays on only one side. The image, when viewed, causes the affected viewers to fall into a trance-like state for as long as the animated image persists. Entranced creatures cannot speak, attack, parry, invoke powers or even move. If led by hand, they will follow, and they will remain standing on their own accord, but are otherwise rendered insensible. Outside stimuli (i.e. being shaken or being hit, etc.) will allow a second saving throw, modified at -6.

The saving throw is a save versus sleep/charm, modified at +1 for each 2// distant from the fractal panel. The panel affects a 90° prismatic trapezoidal volume whose maximum depth is 3// per level of the mathematician.
