I didn't mean it to be guaranteed, I figured the strength of the mirror creature would determine if it worked and how much. Similar to if I created a fireball power and said it did explosive AOE damage. The enemy could still dodge it, or resist fire, or save for half damage like in dnd.

So in this case, the enemy could plug their ears if they know it's coming, or have resistance to fear effects, or have a strong enough will to not be scared anyways. It's more of a Soule Energy infused intimidation tactic.

I intended it to basically encourage enemies to fight other targets since it only weakens attacks against him, so that he can have his 1v1 predator-prey hunt. Or, against a weak enemy create a combo where he Predators them, Howls to stop their movement, and then Shatters with a sure-hit since they can't dodge.

As for the prey freezing effect, I set the objectively weaker condition so that you as the GM get the say of if this enemy is decidedly weaker, as in there is no feasible way already that it wins against Fubuki. So really, it's basically just a get this minion out of my way combo.
