Polamedes starts glowing internally with an alien blue and black light. Tiny nanomachines are jettisoned from his body and create a semisphere around him that fires back tiny distance tracking lasers to his body. After one round the nanomachines in Polamedes explode outward violently as thousands of tiny pores on his body erupt. The tiny nanomachines are launched from Pol's body trailing skin and flesh in tiny strands like wire. The bloody bots hover in the area and form a connective grid between each other and start filling the area with powerful magnetic waves. The EM waves start pulling at any trace amounts of ferrous material they find, including that found in blood and flesh.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma. The area within 25 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Anyone in the area has 1 Round to attempt to escape. During the next Round, on your Initiative, roll Intellect + Technology at Difficulty 6. Targets remaining inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).
If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 25 feet of you with Damage equal to your Outcome + 6. If you botched the activation roll, you will also take full Damage from the blast, otherwise it will not hurt you.
For the next 3 Rounds following the initial blast, this Effect will deal a new blast of damage to any targets remaining within range of you. The damage decays by 2 each Round.
Anyone who takes damage from the blast is knocked back away from you by a distance equal to the radius. They must succeed a Body roll, Difficulty 9, or be stunned for 1 round.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Bloody flesh magnet sphere..

A flash of green lightning strikes her victim and disappears. Immediately, or upon the completion of some condition, if the witch chooses, the victim's body warps and shifts into a gross mockery of its former self. Whether she's giving someone the head of a donkey or stealing their voice, the witch's enemies always get what is coming to them.
