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.
Use up this small metallic grenade with pin and spend an Action to activate. Make a thrown attack at a Location within normal attack range. 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. Roll your for your attack as normal. 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 contested Outcome from the Effect activation. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly.
"OH GOD CONCRETE IS POURING FROM MY EYES MY EARS MY MOUTH PLEASE HEE---"
The Brutal Hammer strikes the spot: and from thy spot, concrete shalt make thy art.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 300 feet. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you instead are affected by this as if it were a full success: you don't get to resist. (affects anyone nearby too! sorry guys). Roll Brawn + Crafts at Difficulty 6. All targets within 20 feet of the chosen Location may contest by Defending or Dodging.
If you succeed, all affected targets will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They cannot move to a new location, and, if your Contested Outcome was greater than their Brawn, they are encased and cannot take any physical Actions other than attempting to escape until they break free.
The target may spend an Action and roll Brawn or Dexterity + Athletics to attempt to break free. They must accumulate a total Outcome equal to or greater than the original Contested Outcome to escape. Damage to the binding from outside sources also contributes.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see You point the hammer in a general direction and whoever's in that direction immediately gets enveloped in an encasement of concrete that envelops them as they scream: and are filled with concrete... entirely... inside & outside..

You must retain Concentration to keep up the effect; if your Concentration is interrupted, the effect will end.
Blake channels his mana while holding a necklace adorned with an inverted cross, with the body of Edgard nailed to it, his eyes glowing with a malevolent light as he whispers a dark incantation. Suddenly, eerie cracks apear all around the target from dark red portals with fire spewing out from the. The gates to hell are open, and flaming chains burst from them, their links glowing red-hot and dripping with molten metal. These chains, forged in the deepest pits of hell, wrap around his target with an eerie speed, their heat searing flesh and sending up a sickening sizzle, at the moment of activation, if anyone was looking at the cracks they may see humans being tortured by demons in the most horrible ways they can imagine.

As the user exerts their mind and activates the **Ostrich Fan**, the air swirls with sudden ferocity. With a swift motion, the fan releases a whirlwind that tears through the chosen location, the winds howling like a tempest. Those caught in the 20-foot blast are instantly ensnared by miniature tornados that rise from the ground, circling their bodies and locking them in place. These swirling vortexes of air hold them fast, reducing their movement to nothing as the roaring winds coil tighter around their legs. Arms are free, and powers may still be used, but moving to a new location becomes impossible, as if the very wind itself has anchored them. Even intangible beings like ghosts find themselves trapped in the twisting funnels of air, unable to escape the storm. The effort to control such wild forces takes its toll, and the user feels the weight of the wind dragging on their focus and energy, slowing their every move as the tornados rage.
