Non-Standard Energy Expulsion: Madness (minor) by Mr. Twist

This is a purely black bolt shot from the super being. When this bolt is expelled, anyone within 200ft feels a vague sense of unease for just a split second, sort of like the "chills up the spine" kind of feeling. When struck, the victim is enveloped by the blackness for a brief moment. What this black bolt actually is composed of is a rip to a place not meant to ever be experienced(or even known about) by creatures from our area of the multiverse. Yes, even supernatural beings and alien intelligences were not meant to glimpse these places. Think a bit more weird and unsettling than anything written or implied in H.P. Lovecraft's works. This blast is a momentary portal to these 'other realms', giving the victim a brief glimpse into a place best left unknown. The exact description of what the victim sees is best left to the imagination of the GM(give the player a description of the chaos seen within).

Range: 400ft.
Damage: None.
Effects: Victim gains one temporary insanity, plus one more at levels 4, 8, and 12. Insanities are randomly rolled. If a rolled insanity is already possessed by the victim, then double the intensity of the insanity.
Duration: 5 minutes.
Bonus to Strike: +3 on an aimed strike.
Saving Throw: A save vs. insanity must be made against each insanity. The save is a 15 +1 at levels 4, 8, and 12.
