Hadn't thought of it that way!

Yeah, my cousin taught me to do that a few years ago but without the bright light-- while people don't necessarily move away from me, some will look away!
Sometimes the mirrors turn into little mirrored pieces of armor (if you've ever watched a movie with ancient Japanese warriors [not necessarily samurai] in it, they have these pieces of chain-mailish armor that are like little strips of something [bamboo? iron?] latched together). I'll have to try it with a blinding white light projecting out next time.
