Projection-Based Powerset

[Zeraphia]

So I thought of what may be an interesting line to go down as far as powersets and animations are concerned: and that is the power of projection. It is a classic superhero power, and I think it's something that just isn't done. I got a lot of the inspiration from the animations in Dual Pistols: 

The blue pseudo-you in the background, but instead of it just being a reflection of how fast you're moving, how about it by itself is used as a blast or melee set... For instance, "Astral you" kicks Requiem in the face or launches some sort of primary assault or does some interesting damage to the enemies in the way of martial arts! I'm not really sure what avenue to go down with this, but I think this is a unique take for a fresh blasting set. Having a "you" in combat for you seems pretty cool/interesting. I suppose Illusion *sort of* has elements of it, but I don't think it's quite the same thing overall.

 

So going deeper on it, maybe it would be a way to simultaneously incorporate martial arts or other generic fight powers (or maybe not) but turn it into a blast set, the new "projected you" could perform melee animations, but you would be in range, it's a really unique concept I have to admit, but it would still have all the functional blaster-esque powerset opportunities (the set would still be ranged, but a melee-based powerset).
