Luci's shadow infests the next shot in the chamber of her gun. It wraps around, subsumes, and completely coats the round until it's barely recognizable- only as a silhouette.
The bullet becomes so changed that it will no longer be capable of dealing considerable damage, but instead had become a darkbang- the shadow version of a flashbang that essentially has thr same outcome but goes about discombobulated adversaries in a different way.
It blinds them with darkness instead of light and dark tendrils of smoky black shadow will manifest and effectively act as a spider web, making any action more difficult. Inhaling it produces a similar effect mentally- fogging up the target's mind.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Animate target within 300 feet. You must actively and obviously use Gun to activate this Effect. Roll Perception + Firearms at Difficulty 7.
If you succeed, the target will suffer a dice penalty equal to the Outcome for the next 3 rounds. Dice pools may be reduced all the way down to 0 by this penalty.
Bryan rapidly folds the paper along his form, creasing it until it folds into himself. He then merges into a silhouette of paper, maintaining the general shape and structure of his body while being visually constructed from a multitude of paper sheets. The process of splitting his mind across a multitude of sheets has the potential to damage his psyche in the process.
With Bryan reaching new levels of power, he has not only begun to develop through his mind and skills, but body as well. As such, he's now starting to gain abilities that can change his physiology. Basically looks like that one girl in the Akatsuki from Naruto (Konan).

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Koriol touch a reflective surface, before his skin shatters into pieces. He picks himself back up, but is he still the same person? Debatable.
