Boundaries and barriers are a lie, but it is sometimes useful to lie. This spell subtly warps space and distance around the subject, making empty spaces seem larger and more foreboding.
Crowds of people seem tightly packed together, an impenetrable wall of humanity.
Any attempt the subject makes to interact with other people costs 1 Willpower.
Even then, any dice pools are penalized by the spell’s Potency. Prolonged exposure to this spell (roughly a day per dot of the subject’s Composure) may provoke breaking points or adverse Conditions like Shaken or Spooked.
