Oasis (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The hero can temporarily manifest an area of pleasant environment in an otherwise inhospitable area or region, such as a desert.

1. Hallucination Manifestation: When the hero becomes fatigued or fails a save vs. heat frustration or exhaustion (14 or better, PE bonus applies), he will hallucinate that he sees an area of lush vegetation and drinkable water. For the next 2d4 melee rounds, he may eat fruit and drink water from the area as if it were real, gaining the nutritional benefits of it and resisting further hunger and thirst (ideal for prisoners being tortured and the like). The hero will be compelled to do so and must save vs. mind control not to (14 or better, ME bonus applies).

2. Drawbacks: No one else traveling with the hero will see on benefit from the oasis and will probably think the hero is crazy for drinking what they perceive to be dirt or sand(whatever is present) and eating invisible fruit.

3. Other Bonuses:

+1d4 ME
+1d6 PE
+10% to save vs. coma/death
