Viable Power?

I'm considering a character called Basilisk or something similar with the power to paralyze anyone they make direct eye contact with. I'm worried, however, that this is potentially getting too close to mind control or too restrictive for other players.

There would be significant limitations due to the direct eye contact thing, though. For example, being distracted and looking away or even blinking would break the paralysis until eye contact is regained, and things like opaque visors or mirrored sunglasses basically block the ability.

The other thing is, were this acceptable, would it be considered an energy projection power by, say, affecting someone's muscles from a distance or would it fall into another category?

I'm not a mod, but I could guess that maybe making it paralyzing eye beams might make it more acceptable (it would give them the chance to dodge), and maybe have like a time limit of 1 turn or something. But that's just my newbie unmoddly input.

And I'm pretty sure that yes, it would be an Energy Projection Power. Everything but Super Strength, Speed, Durability, Intelligence, and Fighting Skill is by default Energy Projection.

such a power would count as an instant kill(Well instant KO) of sorts which is disallowed.

Thanks, guys.
