Lilith's blood barrier is potent, but sometimes it's not enough to protect her or her allies. The Passenger does not tolerate failure, and will refuse to let Lilith die when her magic is not enough. Tapping into the potential of the curse, The Passenger manifests a surge of unnatural energy to destroy Lilith's physical form, leaving nothing but the misty menevolence of the curse's shadow hanging in the air.
This Effect activates whenever someone else causes Protect's Barrier to fall. It does not require an Action or Exertion.
You phase out of reality for up to 4 Rounds. During this time, you cannot affect the outside world or take any Actions. You cannot move. Nothing can interact with you in any way.
When you activate this Effect, you may limit its duration to a period of your choosing. If you are able, you may also end it as a Free Action on your initiative.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Lilith's skin and muscle peeling off in splashes of blood as The Passenger vaporizes her and her target's form.
You leave a bloody apparition at your location.
You may only use this Effect once per day.

If you move faster than your normal move speed, the world around you turns to a blur, and Perception rolls are made at -3 dice.
Minerva lets out a breath and closes her eyes for a moment. She slips into the Dreamlands for just a moment, and when she comes back, she leaves just a little bit of herself there. Opening her eyes, her irises have become rainbow coloured, and she can see in both, although she's just a little paler, like some of the colour has left her.
In a pinch, she can illusion her irises back to normal, but she prefers to leave them like that.

If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next Outcome Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius. The Damage reduction from the Barrier is applied before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The Barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of damage. When a Barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds. As long as it does not fall, the barrier regenerates back to full strength at the end of each Round of combat.

You are permanently transformed into Spear/Javalin.

If anyone wields, equips, wears, or uses you while you are transformed, you may take physical actions using their body. Your Action comes directly before theirs in Initiative, and all rolls are made with your stats. You may opt to utilize your Action to "help" your host, allowing them to use your dice pool for their chosen Action.
You can use any Powers that do not require movement on your own. You must be wielded or equipped to use other Powers. You cannot use Artifacts or Consumables, but if you have transformed into a Legendary Artifact, you may use the other Effects attached to it.
Your passive Powers affect anyone who wields you.

Exert your Mind and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: perform a fire-breathing trick. Select a target within 20 feet which has both fuel and oxygen available (if you are starting a new fire). Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you take a Severity-4 Injury as the fire burns your throat. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.
You may start or extinguish a fire as large as a fire in a residential fireplace at your target. You may create or extinguish fires the size of a lighter or candle flame without Exerting your Mind. Your fires require fuel and oxygen in order to continue burning.
