Jester's Trick Where are you looking? I've already escaped.
Almost like a trick, Looking at a lock through the eyes of the mask of dullness, the stars where the eyes of the mask are seem to glimmer as spirits appear in front of the lock.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a door, lock, or locked target within 20 feet. Cannot be used on Alien technology. You must use up Cash depending on the complexity of the lock in order to activate this Effect.
You may lock, unlock, and/or open your target.
- Any door or restraint that is fastened or shut with a mechanism may be considered locked, at the GM's discretion. Can be used on control panels or other electronic locks, but not computer security systems.
- If you operate a locking mechanism through this Effect which has some other secondary effect (such as the ignition on a car causing the car to start) you may cause that effect as well.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

OWL - The Occult Wildlife Landing
The Occult Wildlife Landing (OWL) is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the rights of supernatural creatures to live a life unmolested by humanity’s relentless spread and greed.
While OWL has become the de-facto head of the conservationist movement in the United States, many claim it’s not as innocent as it appears. A number of small, seemingly-disconnected terrorist cells wear the OWL insignia with pride. These groups– which tend to contain a disproportionate number of supernatural creatures and beings– commit high-profile acts of public violence with the intent of furthering OWL’s core objectives. In the past, they’ve blown up oil pipelines, stopped development projects, and even infected congregations of people with mutagenic viruses.
OWL denies any involvement with these so-called “OWL-inspired terrorist organizations” (or OITOs for short). However, many people conflate the two and consider OWL itself to be a terrorist organization.
One thing is for certain: when OWL sends a blast to its followers urging protest, they’re taken seriously.

Temporal Link
Sure it's closed now, but was it locked then?
Time acts in funny ways at times, but the caveman has learned how to manipulate one particular nicety thanks to his extensive experience with bonds. Namely, with all these new-fangled doors, keys, and various other means of shutting powerful people away from the world, it all exists either at a state of open or unopened, but when you look at it through the lens of someone who exists partly out of time. The moment where it was opened always exists, and the caveman can restore it to that state with a little focus by reconnecting that object to that moment. Ensuring that never again will he be bound by restraints or blocked by a door.
Spend an Action. Select a door, container, knot, or lock within arm's reach. This can be used on Alien targets. You must actively and obviously use A timepiece to activate this Effect.
You may lock, unlock, and/or open your target.
- Operating some locking mechanisms through this Effect may have a secondary effect, such as a turn-key ignition on an older or cheaper car causing it to start or stop. Note that the locking mechanism itself must satisfy the standard targeting requirements (including line of sight), not just the vehicle.
- Any mechanism that requires a key, keycard, key fob, or combination may be considered locked, at the GM's discretion. This Effect may be used on doors and containers secured with control panels or other electronic locks, but not computer security systems at large.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

More compact than a set of lockpicks
The user presses a small rectangle of metal to the lock. For mechanical locks, the device extends metal prongs that will feel out the lock and unlock it. For electronic locks, the device will flash a few colors, then match the require electronic signal.
A mix of Owl's hacking, and thievery experience automated into a device that doesn't fail.

With Eliza's help, Laz can manipulate the electrical fields immediately around him to manipulate locks with any electronic control. Where this used to be achieved by manipulating an external device, subtle (and not so subtle) shifts in how his nanotech interacts with the world have enabled him to eliminated that dependency, albeit at the cost of diminished range. It's still not a terrible idea to wave his card over a reader to help add a sense of normalcy to the event, when possible. very savvy observers might notice a static spark between him and the reader or door involved, though most might just think he had scuffed his feet on some carpet.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Non-Alien electronically controlled lock within arm's reach.
You may lock, unlock, and/or open your target.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is static discharge when touching the reader or door. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
