Lumi, using his staff as his conduit for mana, lets his mana flow into the orb on the rod. These orb then glow white and blue or purple and black, upon which, a ball of either light or void magic will appear at the location. The light seems to burn and singe whatever is there, undead especially seem susceptible to it as the light itself has holy energy to it.
While the darkness seems to become a black hole, sucking in the target and collapsing in on itself then it collapses and severely injuring them.
"I, who stand in the full light of the heavens, command thee, who opens the gates of hell. Come forth, divine lightning! This ends now! Indignation!!"
Newbie - "Reflection/Apocalypse"
Tagline - Burn from the light of purity! / Be crushed under the weight of your sins...
Holding the staff, he jabs it at the enemy like a spear and a sky blue crystal appears at the edge, from which a arrow of light shoots forth and attack the enemy.
Swinging the staff like he is smacking someone with it, two purple and black magic circle appears at his target and tries to crush the enemy.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 4.
You may use this Effect to Defend against any melee, projectile, or firearm Attacks within range or Clash against any Attack targeted at you. Using it to Defend deals no Damage but does not cost Exertion.
You may opt to have this Effect spread to all targets within 5 feet of the initial target, then to all unaffected targets within 5 feet of them, and so on, jumping a maximum of 5 times. No target may be hit more than once. You cannot hit yourself.
Finesse: When Attacking a single being, you may limit the Severity of any Injury you inflict or determine a maximum Wound Level, including Incapacitated. You may also choose to make this Injury properly or improperly stabilized, or to keep it unstabilized.
When in use, the stitches of the shoes heat and melt into each other like molten steel poured into an intricate mold. They swirl with fiery kinetic energy that glows hot before each impact and flows up into small metal wings that unfold from the side accents. Using them is like using stilts; takes some balance and getting used to, so wear a helmet when you're adjusting.
Kody Creighton made these shoes for Jeremy Wesley in exchange for the grant that funded Fire Hazard's creation.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. Select a Location which is at most 75 feet away horizontally or 15 feet away vertically. If you are using this Effect as a Reaction, you must travel at least 10 feet.
You jump to the chosen location. If the landing is precarious, the GM may call for a roll to land safely. You will never take fall damage from successfully landing a jump made with this Effect.
You may activate this Effect while in free-fall, as long as your target Location is a surface on which you can land. You are immune to fall damage.
When you use this Effect as a Reaction to dodge, if you Exert your Mind to activate the Effect, you do not need to roll; your dodge is automatically successful.
The user punches straight into the target object. This in turn causes a ripple effect throughout as it creates cracks throughout the object before it is ultimately shattered or damaged to a great extent.
Alternatively, the user can also place the knuckles against a target and concentrate on their next attack and after doing so for a minute, launch a one-inch punch towards it.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Object or Construct Object within arm's reach no larger than a duffel bag (35 liters).

The cainite observes the target, waiting for the moment to strike before lunging forward to drink the essence of their targets life. Drinking deep, the flush of life returning to their form even as it leaves the visage of the target, every audible gulp coinciding with the desiccation of the unfortunate kine's body into little more than a spent husk.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Sapient target within arm's reach. If a target does not consent to the transfer, you must roll Brawn + Melee at Difficulty 6 to use the effect on them. They can resist by rolling either Body or Mind at Difficulty 6, depending on what you are attempting to transfer to them.
You may choose one each of as many things as you like from the following to transfer from your target to yourself, or from yourself to them:
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see you draining the life from the targets throat, fangs deep in their neck as you drink the blood from their neck with wanton lust for vitae.
Whenever you transfer an Injury, it's Severity increases by 1. Whenever you transfer Mind damage or Traumas, the recipient takes an additional Mind damage.
Okiyama grants a device with motivational words and unrelenting determination, his sunglasses reflecting brightly, even though there may be no sunlight- it's this very motivation that charges the item with life and personality!
The weapon changes to befit the personality of the user, but also with the flair of overblown bedazzling! Background music that befits it's use plays in the head of the user as the item now looks not only shiny and new, but encrusted in sparky gliiter and rainbow bling that falls and disappears close to it like falling sparky snow. When it ends, the item will be clogged up and stained with glitter.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 Action. Select a non-Alien Device within arm's reach. You must actively and obviously use Sunglasses to activate this Effect. Cannot be used to improve Armor.
Lasts the next two hours. Your target receives 2 extra dice to all actions taken for its intended use. Attacking with an upgraded weapon grants +2 Weapon Damage instead of additional dice. While it is upgraded, the item cannot be destroyed.
Upgraded weapons count as any material your opponent might be particularly vulnerable to. Upgraded Armor cannot be circumvented by called shots. Upgraded Devices do not run out of fuel or energy.
After the Effect ends, any upgraded targets suffer a -2 dice penalty until they are either repaired or upgraded again.
A purple haze pools from the corn cob as it turns to dust. The miasma pools into the target's wounds, promptly clogging them with cornstalks tipped in cobs. Vines wrap around the body, pulling it upwards like a puppet tugged by strings. It jolts and staggers as a sinister presence takes root within its hollow form. This is not life restored, the figure that rises is naught but a vessel for something new, something ancient.
Over the course of an hour, the corn protruding from the wounds goes black, slowly rotting away. In time, it'll fade completely, returning the corpse to its unanimated death.
On Casper's hand, something resembling purple burns appears. The bruise grows with subsequent castings, crawling further up his arm.
The second page of the Necornomicon tells of an old god and the false life it can bestow. Necornmancers can call upon the Great Husk and draw its attention to a corpse, allowing the entity to animate a body with a fraction of its endless mind. The power held by the Great Husk is said to be too vast for fragile mortal bodies, resulting in a rot that prevents any prolonged connections. Life is not returned here, rather death is altered.
It's good ol' fashioned Necornmancy, no strings attached... Well, none that Casper seems to care about.
Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend an Action. Select a Dead target within arm's reach with at least half its skeletal structure remaining. You must use up a cob of corn in order to activate this Effect.
Your target rises as an Animate being. The raised creature is totally mindless, with no memory of its past life or hint of its old personality. They cannot communicate. They will follow any command you speak.
The creature lasts one hour 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.
Raised creatures have their Abilities set to the same that they were in life. Their Charisma and Intellect are set to 1, but their Dexterity, Brawn and Perception are the same as they had in life. A raised creature cannot use any Effects.
If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.
The spy is able to transform an ordinary ballpoint pen into a monitoring device that is inconspicuous enough to blend in to most settings, but advanced enough to allow 360 degree surveillance as well as audio capture, which is sent to their smartphone.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 10 feet. You must actively and obviously use a ballpoint pen to activate this Effect.
You place a ward, which is fixed to its initial location. You can hear and see through the ward as though you were standing at its location. Your wards last 3 hours. You may have at most 3 wards active at once.
The ward requires Concentration to monitor, though it will remain active until you deactivate it. It can be detected with a roll and destroyed through mundane means.
The detective can learn a lot by watching someone for a minute. Each subtle detail, every unexplained stain, reveals something about where the target has been. Ocassionally, they'll drop a business card, or explain how to contact them. The detective is listening.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend a minute. Select a Sapient target within 20 feet. This Effect cannot be used unless the target does not know you're watching them. At the end of your investigation, roll Charisma + Investigation at Difficulty 6.
You learn a single specific piece of information, chosen from the following list, about your target:
The quality and specificity of information gained depends on your Outcome.
You cannot investigate the same target more than once per day.
The priest's miracles expand into the treatment and curing of poisons and diseases. To do so, they require a ceremonial dedication (or often re-dedication) to the service of their god, during which the priest and the patient pray together and perform ritualistic bloodletting. These wounds burn with holy, golden fire, attacking the sinful malady and expelling it from the body.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You cannot target yourself. Your target takes a Severity 1 Injury. You must actively and obviously use a ceremonial dagger blessed with holy water to activate this Effect.
You may cure any Non-Alien diseases, toxins, or poisons afflicting your target even if you have not diagnosed or fully understood it. You may cure diseases or poisons even if they are not treatable through modern medicine. During treatment, the malady you are treating does not progress or cause additional Damage or other effects.
You may use this effect to sanitize a 15-foot radius, destroying all poisons, toxins, diseases such that they are inert and cannot affect any new targets
The doctor is a master at surgical transplantation. As long as they have a donor part, they can replace any permanent, lingering battle scars on their patient. Of course, the transplanted part doesn't always match, and the patient must be careful to follow the doctor's aftercare orders, or the replacement will be rejected.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must use up a donor body part matching the injured area in order to activate this Effect. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scar heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.
You may specify a specific condition that the patient must adhere to. If they break this condition, the treatment is immediately reversed. Record this regimen as a Condition. Lasts until the end of their next Contract or 1 month for non-Contractors.
Healing a Battle Scar in this way leaves behind a mismatched replacement on the target which cannot be healed.
Perform the Five Point Technique via a series of quick pressure point hits on the target’s chest. As you do, channel your chi and speak a condition involving the number five. If the target cannot stop you from performing the technique, their heart will take a direct hit when they fulfill the chosen condition.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Roll Dexterity + Brawl Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling Body, Difficulty 6.
If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 2. The target's Armor is completely ignored.
When you activate this Effect, instead of occurring immediately, you may choose to delay its effects until the target takes a particular Action. For example: "when they fire a gun" or "when they swim in deep water."
Instead of dealing Damage all at once, the Injury caused by this Power starts at Severity 1 and worsens at the rate of one level per Round until it reaches the Severity it would have otherwise been.
