The consumer just feels themselves getting weaker before blacking out for a instant at the 15 minute mark. Opening their eyes, they will feel oddly exhausted as their body is covered in some odd dust.
Outside observers instead will find the consumer disintegrating into ashes creating a cloud of particles where after the dust sets, another person, looking exactly like that consumer is standing there in the dust.
Where as loopy transfer the mind with the usage of amnesiacs. The Divergent Strand instead works as like a anchor. Setting a anchor and using the body of the consumer as energy and fuel, to pull the future variant of the target back to the present. In order to make sure that the consumer doesn't undergo full mental retardation, dementia, insanity, or any of the likes (after a few test), A series of amnesiacs are combined with the divergent strand that erases memories past 15 minutes of taking the pill to ensure mental stability.
Sometimes, there's a chance the future variant will be using the pill in the future as well and will spit out the pill, allowing possible future reuse of said pill.

Your Hack cannot be reversed through mundane means for a number of hours equal to your Outcome.
Every hack you make leaves behind A tree with a pentagram on the trunk in the system as a personal "calling card" that informs anyone who uses the system that the hack occurred.
A small, square shortbread cookie, no bigger than one's eye. It tastes of nothing, with a texture so unremarkable it's hard to remember finishing the cookie. When consumed, it clears any lingering scents or flavors and grants the ability to enjoy meals as they truly are, unbound by the pathetic limits of human sensory organs.
These cookies do have a taste- it simply happens to be... nothing. The absence of intensity. It is a cultivated emptiness, like the negative space in a painting- deliberate, guiding the mind and senses to the things all around the cookie. They are bland, mildly pleasant in no identifiable way. Additionally, they do not trigger any known allergies or food sensitivities- whatever they are, they're gluten free and hypoallergenic.
Use up this snack and spend an Action to activate.
Your senses are enhanced in the following way. Lasts for three hours.

Drop the tooth into your mark's pocket, purse, cleavage, or butt crack...anywhere a tooth will fit! Bump and run or a surreptitious drop work well. If you are feeling fancy, you can toss it, too!
Spend an Action and use up this wolf's tooth. Make a thrown attack at a target within normal attack range. Roll your for your attack as normal. The target may roll to dodge or defend, as normal for thrown attacks. The attack may or may not deal Damage as per a normal attack, at the user's choice.

The Future Soldier learned to create foam grenades in their own time period, and they still can, kinda. They look like glowing orange capsules with a rugged rubberized grip. When thrown, they burst into a splash of expanding neon orange foam. The foam hardens in seconds, severely hampering the movement of anyone unlucky enough to have been splashed. Those affected may use their hands or weapons to hack away at the foam and free themselves.
Occasionally, the fuses on these bootleg grenades fails, and they go off immediately.

Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you are hit as it activates immediately at your present location. The target may roll to dodge or defend, as normal for thrown attacks. The attack does not deal Damage, but the Effect does.
If you succeed, all affected targets will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They can still move their arms and use Effects, but are reduced to ¼ of their movement speed.
The binding around a target must be destroyed in order for them to break free. Breaking the binding requires a total amount of Damage equal to twice the original Contested Outcome. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly.
The user places this slip of paper from the mystic against their head, speaks the inscribed phrase, and envisions a time they wished they were alone. the paper bursts into a shockwave that pushes all weak-minded beings away. The repulsion field can be maintained for several seconds by meditating on the nature of solitude.

The mutant now occasionally lays large, orange-speckled eggs. These Eggs do not hatch nor spoil. If cracked and applied to a chronic injury such as a missing limb, the scar heals completely within the hour. However, any area healed by the egg will forever carry an inhuman appearance as testament to the bizarre method of treatment.
Spend a minute and use up this unusually large egg (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7). Select a Living target within arm's reach. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scar heals as you finish activating this Effect.
