Examples

An Oneirheton

   You hold your mirror katana up before the oneirheton, angling it in such a way that you capture its image completely and wholly in its reflective surface.
   The oneirheton's gaze meets that of its captured reflection, and a bolt of magick leaps from your mirror katana toward the oneirheton and spiritually nullifies it, despite its attempt to dodge, and it is affected severely by the attack.
   The oneirheton's form distends and warps as it is pulled bodily towards your mirror katana.
   The oneirheton disappears into your mirror katana.
   An ocean blue sphere within the mirror katana contains an oneirheton.

   You feel life force flowing into you as the oneirheton is siphoned of its essence.

A Lost One

   You hold your mirror katana up before the bright-blue-skinned female human lost one, angling it in such a way that you capture her image completely and wholly in its reflective surface.
   The bright-blue-skinned female human lost one's gaze meets that of her captured reflection, and a bolt of magick leaps from your mirror katana toward the bright-blue-skinned female human lost one and zots her, despite her attempt to dodge, though she resists the attack.
   The spirit is drawn out of the bright-blue-skinned female human lost one's body.
   The spirit's form distends and warps as she is pulled bodily towards your mirror katana.
   The spirit disappears into your mirror katana.
   An ocean blue sphere within the mirror katana contains a spirit.
   You feel life force flowing into you as the spirit is siphoned of her essence.

Maneuver Help Description

   Perform Capture Image
   Empathic Bonds Combat Maneuver
   Usage: perform capture image [at <target>]
   Typical Activity Cost: 40
   Activity Cost For You: 38
   Use a mirror shard to capture the target's image, sending their spirit to the realm within where it may be drained of its essence.  This effects different types of creatures differently; ghosts and spirits will be sucked wholly into the shard, while mortal creatures will be harmed in various ways and be unable to use spiritual powers.

Notes

Both the attack and damage ratings Use all of enchantment and animaphrasty, and lots of pneumaturgy. The attack rating uses all of metaphysics, while the damage rating uses all of philosophy. This is on top of a 200 base attack bonus. The spirit/being is moved to your microcosm and is drained to give you a healing effect that works over time, until the spirit is completely destroyed. If you use it enough times on something it will completely destroy their spirit -- I assume this is what gives the spiritual disjunction trait.
