  • Constant Vigilance: You cannot be ambushed or caught-flat footed when awake. When asleep, you can make a Perception + Alertness roll at Difficulty 6 to wake up in time.

This restoration is the biggest key to the girls' goal that they’ve gotten so far. The bond they want so badly is within their reach- all it takes is getting hurt badly enough. Rather than opting to chop off Grace’s limbs in the name of it (which they could theoretically survive), the menagerie decided to continue Contracting so they can get hurt in ways that might mean something more. She could protect her friends, discover new things, or maybe even deal with the massive problem she personally unleashed on the world.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.

You may Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reduce the Severity of one of your Injuries by 2. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.

This supernatural Contractor's gift, "Attention to Detail," allows one to perceive the world in an unprecedented microscopic scale with their naked eye, such as fingerprints on surfaces from several meters away, the grooves and patterns in materials at a microscopic level, and even single-celled organisms floating in the air or in a drop of water. The power extends to reading the subtlest body language cues, making it invaluable in understanding intentions or lies without words.

When activating this gift, the sensation is akin to a wave of focused energy converging on one's eyes, sharpening their vision exponentially. It's as if the world slows down around them, allowing every minute detail to stand out with vivid clarity. The sensation is not painful but intensely immersive, creating a hyper-aware state where details pop out, highlighted as if illuminated by an unseen light. This transition from normal to enhanced perception is smooth, feeling natural rather than jarring, as if the mind and vision are simply adjusting the focus on a lens to reveal what was always hidden in plain sight.

The origin of the power is deeply rooted in an ancient pact made between the Contractor's ancestors and a primordial entity that embodies the essence of observation and knowledge. This entity, fascinated by the human desire for understanding and mastery over their environment, granted the Contractor's bloodline the ability to see beyond the veil of the macroscopic world.

The gift of "Attention to Detail" is not just a tool but a window into the complexity of the universe, offering insights that can unravel mysteries, solve crimes, or unlock the secrets of nature itself. However, the depth of detail one can perceive also means one must learn to filter the overwhelming influx of information to focus on what is truly important, a skill that is honed through experience and meditation.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your senses are enhanced in the following way.

  • Sight: You can see things that are normally invisible to the naked eye, such as fingerprints and bacteria.

  • Your microscopic vision requires a close look at a very small, specific area to use. It does not grant increased distance vision, it simply provides a higher resolution, allowing you to see finer and finer detail.
