God's Gaze Kneel, for you stand in God's presence.
As white mist forms at the feet of the user, with a white flash in their eye, the person targeted by the gift experiences a great sudden shock, that fills their head with fear and confusion - seemingly paralyzing their actions in fear of disturbing a greater will throughout the duration of the gift until that divine presence retreats. Along this, the user becomes incapable of looking into the sky completely - in fear of witnessing the divine presence.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Animate target within 20 feet. You must actively and obviously use Cross Pendant to activate this Effect. Roll Brawn + Athletics at Difficulty 7.
If you succeed, the target will suffer a dice penalty equal to the Outcome for the next 2 Rounds. Dice pools may be reduced all the way down to 0 by this penalty. This breaks Concentration.
You may Exert your Mind and spend a Reaction to contest an Action someone is taking. Roll Brawn + Athletics at Difficulty 7. Subtract your Outcome from theirs, and they use the Contested Outcome to determine if their Action succeeds.
- This Penalty is not removed if a character Exerts their Mind to ignore penalty.
- If a character has a dice pool reduced to 0, they cannot attempt that action.
- 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.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Flare of Chitari
"why don't you stand there pretty while my gas does it's work"
Sara, with the help of Chitari, wills a green pulsing ball of energy into existence and throws it at the target, and a bright green light bursts from it, concussing everyone around it in a 20ft radius, though channeling the power through normal flesh is.... unreliable

Nebulochaoticism
“Chill out with me for a sec, man. Hold still.”
Angel hefts up a bat or anything similar and swings it from a ways away. Despite the lack of physical contact, the target is struck across the face and put into a pleasant, smiling daze like Angel’s previous default. They may look around or ask questions like “Why am I here again?”.

Blackjack
A Jack of Clubs is thrown, as it makes its way towards the target its form shifts into that of a blackjack, a bludgeoning weapon intended for dazing people, just prior to impact. A few moments after impact the blackjack will crumple apart and dissapear.

Cosmic Tazer
Using cosmic energy to empower his non-lethal weapons
Marshall Marshall has learned that it is not merely The Great Monkey King that he gains powers from, but from the cosmos itself, including imbuing his non-lethal weapons with the otherworldly power of cosmic lightning. This ability temporarily impeeds the target's chi paths with cosmic energy, slowing or even outright stopping his opponents. His quick reflexes even allow him to shoot this energy to stun an opponent mid-action, making it ineffectual.
