With intense concentration and mental fortitude, Lod channels his will to extend their mind's influence beyond their physical body, effortlessly manipulating objects from a distance. No physical changes occur as Lod calls upon his psyche to bend the world around him to his will: lifting and moving items as if guided by invisible hands. Each movement requires precise mental control, turning thought into action in a seamless display of psychic power.
After getting home from his first contract, Lod felt something as he lay on his bed. In that moment of quietness, while probing his mind, Lod found he could see and touching something in his mind's eye, that was not there before: it was the mental manifestation of his new powers. After exercising his mental capabilities to the max during the many stressful situations, or perhaps even being in close proximity to such a powerful supernatural kid such as Benji (who could not control his own powers), during his first contract: Lod found his own mental abilities had expanded and transcended to a whole new level.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You can interact with things that are within 75 feet without needing to physically touch them or be near them.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Location no further than 50 feet from you and in your line of sight. You must actively and obviously use Raiper to activate this Effect. The area within 20 feet of the chosen Location immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Brawn + Alertness at Difficulty 6. Targets inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).
If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 20 feet of the chosen Location with Damage equal to your Outcome + 2. Armor is fully effective against this damage.
Any flammable Objects within the radius during the blast will catch fire, and any being who takes at least 4 damage will have their hair and clothes catch fire.
All Umbra needs is a moment of weakness to pounce. To enjoy even a morsel of freedom from her cage within Luci's Gallery. A violent torrent of blackness swells up from Luci's shadow in the form of loose and flaky blobs. Luci's signature red hair will darken to a deep black, the faded crosshair tattoo becomes as pronounced as if she'd just received it, her skin will pale as if she were dead, all of her nails become black, and her shadow becomes thick and murky- even seeming to emit small specks of ash-like matter that dissolves within moments.
This Effect activates whenever Luci takes a Severity 5 Injury or Greater or Is incapacitated in any way i.e. through a sleep ability. It does not require an Action or Exertion. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Umbra's manifestation. It happens in an explosion of ethereal shadow that tornados around Luci in a violent cascade. The being possessing Luci with an inconceviable capacity for destruction and death. A mere glance is all any observer needs to understand, just from the aura alone, that Umbra is not of this world and that they are not here to make friends. She is as unhinged as she is unsettling to behold...
