Eddie holds out a piece of cheese in his hand and the ghostly translucent form of an astral rat lycanthrope man in a prison uniform materializes from the ether, beckoned by the scent of delectable frommage.
Eddie has joined the Rat Pack in prison and now they're family. The Rat Pack has members on standby to astral project and be Eddie's assistant during his Contracts (the real person astral projecting doesn't die though).

Lifting and Hauling
If you want to lift more than three times your encumbrance limit, you must spend an Action and maintain Concentration.
You may lift any object up to your Lifting Maximum and still move 10 feet per Round as long as you maintain Concentration. Objects designed for easy lifting (e.g. olympic weights) may count as less weight at the GM’s discretion.
Encumbrance: 30lbs
Must concentrate: 90lbs
Lifting Maximum: 125lbs
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must actively and obviously use cheese to activate this Effect.

Lasts 1 minute. Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is doubled.
If your last Action was used for an all-out sprint or you are already accelerated, you may spend an Action to accelerate without a roll, adding 100 feet/Round (not affected by your speed bonus) to your sprint speed, to a max of an extra 300 feet/Round. As long as you stay at these speeds, you may use this distance per Round as your Free Movement.
Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds. Stopping, turning sharply, or decelerating more than 100 feet/Round must be performed as an Action. Failing to decelerate with an Action (whether because of an obstacle, sudden unfavorable terrain, an Injury, or other event) counts as a tumble or catastrophic vehicle collision as per the vehicle rules.
If you perform an all-out Sprint while this Effect is active, all attacks targeting you suffer -3 dice for the next Round.
After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.

Yvonnel uses a pencil or pen to create a line art sketch of a mundane object within her journal. Closing the journal and re-opening it to the same page as the sketch presents the exact mundane item she drew lying there atop its pages.

Asha unleashes her inner beast, transforming into an imposing hybrid of human and wolf. Her head reforms into that of a wolf, robbing her of speech but bestowing a maw of deadly fangs. Dark brown, white-patched fur sprouts from her body as it swells with muscle, ripping any tight-fitting clothes. Her eyes turn amber in color and almost seem to glow. There is little humanity in them. While transformed, Asha is impulsive and driven more by instinct than logic.
If Asha is struck by the light of a full or gibbous moon, she is compelled to transform.
Asha is equally afraid of and enthralled with the wolf within. This could ultimately help her! But only if she can figure out to somehow control it.

You transform into a werewolf for 30 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are a werewolf, and you can use your equipment.

Instead, you remain Incapacitated.
While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 2 and your Dexterity is increased by 2. Your Stress is reduced by 2.
Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).

Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
You transform into a flowing pool of water for the next minute. You may end the effect early and return to your normal form at will. Your structure must remain relatively contiguous. Observers will view you as an unusual entity moving with a singular purpose.

Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. This Effect cannot be used unless you drink blood directly from a human until it injures them. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Occult at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on yourself.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see you drink blood directly from the vein.
