You cause your subject’s mind to wander, distracting her. Subjects under the effect of distract make all Perception and Sense Motive checks at a −4 penalty.

Augment

You can augment this power in any of the following ways.

  1. For every 2 additional power points you spend, this power affects one more creature.
  2. For every 4 additional power points you spend, the penalty imposed by this is 2 points more severe.
  3. If you spend 4 additional power points, the effects of this power persist for 1 round/level after you stop concentrating.

Additionally, for every 2 additional power points spent on any of the above options, this power’s save DC increases by 1.

Alternatively, if you expend your psionic focus when manifesting this power, you need not spend any power points to manifest it, but the power cannot be further augmented.
