Luci takes out her multi-tool and conducts rudimentary maintenance on an object, imbuing it with her shadow. It takes a lot out of her to use, but the result is usually worth it.
On firearms, her shadow will slink along the barrel and firing mechanism, making it far more efficient and adding its own kick to the fired bullet, making it deadlier while also assisting to manage recoil.
On melee weapons, the shadow slinks along the weapon with either barbs or thorns.
On armor, Luci's shadow hides under the armor and when a weapon or source of damage approaches, it seeps out and attempts to block or deflect the incoming damage.
Take a Severity-1 Injury and spend an hour to activate. Select a non-Alien Device within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless Luci must be in sufficient darkness or shade to cast this power.. You must actively and obviously use Multi-Tool/Swiss Army Knife to activate this Effect. Can be used on Armor.
For the next three months, your target receives 3 extra dice to all actions taken with its intended use. If it is a piece of Armor, it instead receives half that amount as bonus armor rating, rounded up , and any armor penalty it causes is reduced by 1.
Upgraded items have half their normal weight, for the purposes of encumbrance.
After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.
You may only use this Effect once per day.
Zephyren's birdlike senses have attuned him to the so-called languages of the animal kingdom. He can finally comprehend the song of the forests, but this is only the beginning.
On music:
It's a blemish in Zephyren's past, yet one of his most fond highlights all the same. The sense of community that music brings is universal, as anyone can understand when a score sounds upbeat or solemn. He could put his emotions into it and no one would know the subject of his grief, only that he does have feelings after all. It never quite leaves his mind, so he finds himself stopping in his tracks whenever he hears it - whether geophonic or anthropophonic or biophonic - he has to appreciate how it all flows together.
On animals:
Wildlife is harder to spot in Hong Kong, with all the urbanization. Zephyren remembers his first few months in Canada, which were often spent just gawking at the animals he's never seen. Particularly, he had no idea coyotes were dangerous. Whoops.
On comprehension:
Now that even animals can speak to him, he has more noise to filter through. It might just be his downfall.

Sheriff Perkins is able to maintain a psychic projection of an arm to replace his missing one. This arm is a translucent, glowing blue limb which appears more like a tentacle than an arm, particularly at the tip as there are no defined fingers, and stretches to reach much farther than a normal arm. Sinuous blue veins snake up and entwine the remaining human upper arm, glowing just like the rest of limb, causing Perkins to constantly emit an LED-esque light.
