Smoke & Mirrors

Smoke & Mirrors (煙とミラー Sumoku & Miru) is the Stand belonging to Allegna Guerra, featured in Century Storm.

APPEARANCE
Smoke & Mirrors appears as a stone-white humanoid figure with six arms and the head of a damaged roman bust statue. When speeding up time, Smoke & Mirrors appears in stereoscopic vision, and becomes sheathed in blue and green energy that surrounds and exudes from any objects being sped up. Smoke & Mirrors rarely advances in front of its user, and is not seen to possess legs, however it is possible that it does possess legs that are never materialized.

When punching rapidly, Smoke & Mirrors and Allegna shout "PAPAPAPAPAPAPA..." in unison, finishing with "PRESTO!" on the final blow.

ABILITIES
Domination: Smoke & Mirrors allows its user Allegna to control both people and objects. Using such power requires physical contact. Smoke & Mirrors allows its user to not only telepathically move said objects and people, but to control their will. Animals under control can be willed to attack an opponent, and even objects can be willed to physically hinder a target, such as a lock refusing to open, and in cases of direct combat, Smoke & Mirrors can fling these objects at the enemy. To control an individual, Allegna must simply take hold of the top of their head with one hand, and turn around their head and body with a wrist movement. When they have completed the 180 degree turn, they will become controlled completely. Objects or people that are controlled are surrounded by a purple aura, and the eyes of any controlled individuals also glow purple. Smoke & Mirror's control seems to have no evident weaknesses to its control.

Future Mode: Smoke & Mirror's most dangerous ability may be its ability to accelerate time. When activated, Smoke & Mirrors can speed up the local passage of time for itself, its user, and any targets it wishes to affect, within a 2m radius. This can give the effect to outsiders that Smoke & Mirrors and Allegna move incredibly fast. For those being sped up, it becomes the opposite, with the outside world appearing to move very slow. The effects of sped up time follow the natural progression of time in the real world. For example, food and plants that are affected will rot and wither, and even humans and animals can age and die if effected for long enough. This can be used to various effects, such as to wait out an enemy and speed them up until they die of natural causes. Allegna herself appears to be immune to the stand's aging effects, however.

Though Smoke & Mirrors isn't particularly physically strong, its increased speed in Future Mode and multiple arms can rival the offensive close range power of other physically stronger close-range stands.
