Dominic withdraws the auto-injector and injects it into the target, the machine automatically calculating the dose for him and then, he begins to speak as the target's eyes go cloudy and they answer the next question asked to them in a dazed state before devolving into a rambling state as they begin to confess their innermost traumas and secrets as well as the truth of whether or not they are mind controlled agents of the deep state.
Use up this Auto-injector full of truth serum (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7) and spend 2 Actions to activate. Select a Sapient target within arm's reach. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, penalty does not apply.
You learn all the following information about your target:
The quality and specificity of information gained depends on your Outcome.
Any information you gather is spoken aloud and made publicly available.
Throwing a canister, a transparent gas leaks from it. Whoever inhales the gas, will smell almonds before starting to gasp, convulse and fall limp.
Use up this ________ and spend an Action.
Your Stress from Injuries is reduced to 0. Lasts three hours. Does not reduce Stress from Mind Damage.
You may move at your normal speed and still maintain Concentration. Taking an Injury less than Severity 6 no longer interrupts Concentration.
When Chloe breaks the bracelet on her wrist it appears to shower in glitter. when the shower stops, she, and any willing participant, disappear.
Use up this Bracelet (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7) and spend an Action to activate. Make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect.
You and any clothes or equipment you are wearing are obscured from sight for the next minute. All attempts to detect you via sight fail. Detection attempts via other senses where sight would assist are rolled at a -2 dice penalty.
Entering Combat or being Injured does not cause the Effect to end early. Anyone you attack will immediately notice you; anyone else may re-roll to notice you each time you take a Combat action, at -1 Difficulty per Combat action you have taken. When the Effect ends, it is disabled for 3 Rounds.
You may extend this effect to up to 2 other Animate targets, provided they remain in physical contact with you.
She throws this powder in a circle, and the circle becomes a trap of energy
Use up this Holy powder and spend an Action to trap a region of any shape that contains your current location and fits entirely within arm's reach. This trap lasts until triggered or disarmed. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
The trap looks like A circle of powder. Only those who have seen this trap before can identify it as a trap. Anyone who is aware of the trap may intuitively avoid or destroy it.
When setting the trap, specify the condition under which it will trigger. The trap can trigger against a target in the trapped region. the target may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.
When the trap is triggered, your target will be restricted at their location by an intangible, ethereal binding. They cannot move to a new location, and, if your Contested Outcome was greater than their Mind divided by 2, they are encased and cannot take any physical Actions until they break free.
Restricted targets may attempt to break the binding and escape by spending an Action and rolling Mind at Difficulty 7. Breaking free requires a total cumulative Outcome equal or greater than the original Contested Outcome.
Your bindings affect intangible beings like ghosts.
The charm itself melds into the target's body, sinking into flesh like melted wax. Their wound squirms and wriggles in unnatural ways, the flesh seemingly mending itself in violent waves, afterwards the target gags as their old flesh emerges from their mouth, taking form whilst screaming in anguish as it claws it's way out until it ultimately falls to the ground lifeless...
Metaphysics: Basically what's going on is the old flesh and the injured area is literally just being removed, liquidized and turned into a semi-sentient blob of mass animated by magic, and the injured area is being replaced with brand new flesh, bone, sinew, veins etc that seamlessly connect to the rest of the target's body. The blob of mass dies shortly after it leaves the body as there is no longer magic to animate it and just becomes a pile of blood and viscera, though if dna tested it will match the target's dna for obvious reasons, so if you're doing something secretive make sure to clean up afterwards :P
it's like a furball, but flesh >:3 mreowhahahaha
Spend 2 Actions and use up this alabaster charm that houses a complex sigil in it's center. Select a Living or Dead target within arm's reach. Your target must also Exert their Mind to activate this Effect. Roll 7 dice at Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain. Your patient is required to not use any gift that would affect or modify the area of injury, i.e. transformation, augmentation, or other healing gifts that would affect the target area. (Excluding mental) for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.
If you begin healing an Injury on a target that has been dead for less than a minute, and your healing reduces their Wound Level to a non-lethal level, their life is restored.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the viscera, flesh, and bone begin to bubble and squirm, animated with a life of it's own. Once it's movement ceases, the target retches and gasps, a mound of the same crimson-colored gore reaching out of their throat, crawling it's way towards fresh air, while emitting a high pitched shrieking until it finally collapses itself.
Astraeus conjures the marble through his palm, which experiences searing pain. To use, the target must ingest the marble, after which they feel a comforting warmth as their ailment dissipates.
After being inflicted with cancer during a contract, the gift Astraeus obtained from that contract gave him the ability to create a cure for diseases and poisons.
Spend 1 minute and use up this glowing white-yellow marble. Select a Living target within arm's reach.
You may cure any Non-Alien diseases, toxins, or poisons afflicting your target even if you have not diagnosed or fully understood it.

Your patient is required to abstain from knowingly eating meat and becoming intoxicated for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.
The hacker is capable of crafting bottles of nanites. When poured on a broken object, the nanites go to work restoring it to a functioning state. The goop shimmers and crawls, sparking with blue electricity as it reforms broken parts.

The mad scientist produces thorium cores that can be used to upgrade tools and other devices. The core supercharges the item, increasing its quality and rendering it indestructible for a period. However, once the core runs dry, the object is rendered less useful than it was before. The core crackles with blue electricity while active.
Spend 1 Action and use up this glowing blue disk. Select a non-Alien Device within arm's reach. Cannot be used to improve Armor.
Lasts the next two hours. Your target receives 2 extra dice to all actions taken for its intended use. Attacking with an upgraded weapon grants +2 Weapon Damage instead of additional dice. While it is upgraded, the item cannot be destroyed.

The Witch prepares a vial of green fluid that can be used to poison any food or drink. Anyone who consumes the poison will grow drowsy and then fall into a deep sleep. While unconscious, the victim dreams of the witch and learns a secret about them.

Any Living target within within arm's reach that uses the trap as food or drink will trigger it. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
When the trap is triggered, your target becomes drowsy for the next 3 Rounds, during which time they suffer an additional -2 dice Penalty to all Actions. At the end of their drowsiness, they fall asleep for Contested Outcome x 3 hours.
Sleeping targets will not prematurely wake up on their own, and can only be awoken by taking Damage or nearing death from hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.
An affected target's dreams while they are asleep will involve you in some way, and will reveal you as the source of their sleep as well as reveal secret information about yourself to them.
If an affected target was already sleeping when you used this Effect, they are put into a deep coma that lasts indefinitely, but they will be awoken from it if a kiss from someone who's attracted to them.
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.
Spend an Action and use up this small metallic grenade with pin (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7). 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. The target may roll to dodge or Defend, as normal for thrown Attacks. The Attack itself does not deal any Damage beyond the Effect.
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 original Contested Outcome. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly.

If you inflict two Extreme (Outcome > 3) Battle Scars on the target, you may transform them fully into another species.
You may cure any Battle Scars you have created with this Effect with a Free Action on your initiative. They are healed over the course of the next hour.

The Battle Scars you inflict manifest over the course of the next minute.
