Anti-targetting skill twin of null mantis.
Loosely inspired by the creature of the same name from D&D.
Thematically, it uses optical illusions to thwart targetting making itself or its allies appear as if they are in a different place than they actually are.
Mechanically, it would function just like a null mantis except that instead of disrupting spells, it disrupts targetted abilities from other creatures and permanents.
Note that non-targetted abilities such as its own, null mantis, growth effects, etc. are not affected.
