Mime Box(minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The hero can shoot an energy beam to erect an invisible force cube, to a range of 200 feet, plus 20 feet per level. This creates a force cube 10'X10'X10' which generates an illusion around the target trapped. The energy inside the cube will alter the person's appearance from outside the cube, making them appear to be a mime. The cage itself has an SDC equal to the hero's PEX10. Creation of the cube counts as 2 melee attacks/actions. The force field cube has a duration of 10 minutes, plus 2 minutes per level, and the hero can create one such cube per hour per level. Air will pass through the field but sound will not, making the "mime" appear to mouth words silently and unable to hear anything from outside the cube.
Since the trapped target will appear to be a mime, most people will tend to ignore the target or stop and watch thinking it is a performance as the target struggles to free himself from the cage. A saving throw vs. illusion (14 or better, ME bonus applies) is required for the average person to realize the "mime" needs help. No save is needed if the person actually witnessed the target being trapped.
