I have a few questions about the gaslighter archetype for mesmerists in the Pathfinder roleplaying game.

At 3rd level, as a standard action, a gaslighter can implant a maddening phantasm) in the mind of the target of his hypnotic stare, causing the target to perceive its own reflection as corrupted in some disturbing way. This is a mind-affecting fear effect, and there is no saving throw. The target is simultaneously captivated and horrified by the sight of its own reflection, and in any round in which the target can see itself in a mirror within 30 feet, the gaslighter can trigger his painful stare against the target without dealing damage. This is a gaze attack, and the creature can avert its eyes to attempt to avoid it. Any creature holding a visible mirror that attempts to demoralize the target can choose to add the gaslighter’s Charisma modifier to its Intimidate check instead of its own. Horrid mask lasts until that particular hypnotic stare ends (often when the target moves away from a mirror). The gaslighter can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier.

This ability replaces touch treatment (minor) and alters painful stare.

However the archetype appears to in no way affect Hypnotic stare. So im confused. What does it mean by this. How does the stare end when the subject moves away from the mirror; if the stare is reliant on YOUR distance to the victim, not the mirror's.

Anyone know?
