Leperchauns are renowned for their ability to be anywhere. One way they accomplish this is that locks are merely suggestions to them as when they knock sometimes the lock will invite them in.
Spend two Actions performing the following ritual: Knocks. Select a door, lock, or locked target within arm's reach. This can be used on Alien technology. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.
You may lock, unlock, and/or open your target.
Patrick always seems to get lucky he notices the paint can falling off the ladder to bonk his head and he easily side steps it. He notices the opposing player attempting to steal the basketball from behind him and he crosses the basketball over in front of him just a second before.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Your Dexterity rating is increased by 1. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Dexterity (Cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations).

Leperchauns are renownwed theives and half of that is because of their ability to walk wherever they please.

You may move easily and without a roll in any of the following situations.
Patricks inner Fae fire has begun to burn. He was taught by the fae to bring this magical fire forth and burn his enemies before him by cauing their luck to turn against them and actually magically ignite burning them alive.
Exert your Mind (only for extinguishing a fire, no cost for starting one) and spend an Action. Select a target within 20 feet which has both fuel and oxygen available (if you are starting a new fire).
You may start or extinguish a fire as large as a Christmas tree fire at your target. You may create or extinguish fires the size of a lighter or candle flame without Exerting your Mind. Your fires require fuel and oxygen in order to continue burning.
Lighting a target on fire deals 5 Damage each Round on your turn, starting in the Round after the one in which they caught fire. This Damage is reduced by Armor, but the target’s Armor rating will be depleted by any Damage dealt, destroying the Armor once it reaches 0.
You may extinguish flames as a Reaction. This does not extend to explosives.
Leperchauns have always been known for wearing other faces. Now Patrick has this ability.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute to activate. You must actively and obviously use Belt to activate this Effect.
You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts until you either activate a new disguise, or choose to end the effect.
The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise may directly mimic the appearance of a specific individual. You may change the appearance of your outfit. You may add inhuman features to your disguise. Your disguise can alter your smell, DNA, and other aspects that are not perceivable via human senses. This does not conceal you against investigative Effects. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.
You can "pass" in any culture or group without arousing suspicion as long as you look normal for that group and can communicate with those inside the group.
You may Exert your Mind and spend a minute to apply a disguise to a target. The target can Resist your attempt. The disguise lasts until you choose to end the Effect and counts as a Battle Scar. All the same restrictions on the disguise’s appearance apply.
Patrick's theivery has reached new heights. Patrick can now steal thoughts from people's dreams. Like robbing a vault but a little trickier you just need to jiggle it just right and itll open right up. He just has to be careful to not get lost in the dream.
Exert your Mind (unless The Targets doesn't notice patrick) and spend 15 minutes to activate. Select a Living, Animate target within 300 feet You must maintain Concentration while the effect is active. Roll Dexterity + Thievery at Difficulty 6. The target may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.
You are able to view your target's memories. The target is unaware their memories are being probed. The Effect ends if the target moves out of range or your Concentration is interrupted.
You may ask specific questions about their memory - “what is their computer password,” “What were they doing at 4:00PM yesterday,” etc - but you cannot get answers to broad, analytical questions like “are they a good person?” or “what are their plans for the future?”
Each question you ask and memory you replay takes a single Round to read.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is Patrick hums softly. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: you can't trust another with your life with out rolling mind.
Patrick begins looking around the world deciding it’s time to give back as he has taken enough from the world. He now will begin granting wishes to those who can’t get what they want. However as the old adage says “Be careful what you wish for.” Patrick seeks now to grant wishes as only a true Fae can.
You may make an oath with a Sapient target. Communicate the oath's terms to the target, including the requirements and penalties for each participant. If all agree to the terms, you must Exert your Mind and all participants must They Say I Wish “Enter wish here” after being told the proce to seal the deal.
Record the oath as a Condition. If a party breaks the oath, the Condition ends and they suffer the oath's penalty.
When crafting your oath, you may incorporate any of the following penalties:
The target cannot be compelled to agree via a direct threat of violence, another Effect, or another oath. If you would like to use clever wording to mislead the target, you must succeed a contested Intellect + (Culture or Influence) roll.
The target may be at any range, but you must still be able to communicate the terms to them, and they must be able to They Say I Wish “Enter wish here” after being told the proce.
It is obvious to your target that the oath you are proposing will be supernaturally enforced.
Patrick can communicate with spirits and gods. He makes a deal with Donn allowing him the ability to grant one of the ultimate wishes.
Take a Severity-1 Injury and spend one minute. Select a Dead target within arm's reach with at least half its skeletal structure remaining. You may select a target at any range if you use up A Loved One That’s Living That wants their return of the target. You must actively and obviously use A Gold Coin Imprinted with Dunn’s Symbol to activate this Effect. Make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect.
Your target rises as a Living being. They remember their past life and retain their same personality. They can communicate as they would have been able to in life. They may roll Mind, Difficulty 8, to resist any commands you give them.
The creature lasts until it dies again. It is revived at full health. Any Injuries it had in life are not accounted for when determining its penalties or progression towards re-death, though they may affect its ability to perform certain actions at GM's discretion. The raised creature must consume They must grant 3 wishes a day or perish every day or it will die again.
Raised creatures have their Abilities set to the same that they were in life. Their Attributes are all the same as they were in life, except Dexterity, which is fixed at 1. A raised creature cannot use any Effects.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see The Conduit Feels The Cold Embrace of Tech Duinn and can see the ghosts of the dead who have perished before them.
After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.
Patrick has started to get a feeling when something is looking for him. It’s like a sixth sense that tells him when to leave a crime scene. He can hone it further by talking to the fae in the mirrors asking if those around are looking for him.
Exert your Mind and spend three Actions performing the following ritual: Knocks on a mirror twice and says “Mirror Mirror who should I fear”. You must actively and obviously use An object with a reflective surface to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.
You automatically detect all Those that Have searched for Them and Those that are searching for Them within 1 mile of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.
Even while this Effect is not active, if any Those that Have searched for Them or Those that are searching for Them come within 1 mile of you, you may roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 7 to detect them.
Even if there are no Those that Have searched for Them or Those that are searching for Them within 1 mile of you, you become aware of the direction the closest one is in, as well as a rough sense of its distance from you.
