In Your Eye They say the eye is the mirror to one's soul.

6
Requires Seasoned
The power to temporarily transfer your consciousness into a Creature.
Used by Nathan Hong, Created by Ltyinkwint.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. You must actively and obviously be using a mirror.)

Nathan looks at his mirror watch as he grabs out a small handheld mirror. On the handheld mirror is the image of a parrot mid-flight. His reflection attempts to invade the creature's own, a process much easier if it already has embedded part itself into it. An echo manifests itself in the creature's eye as Nathan's physical body fractures into dust.


Exert your Mind (unless the target consents or could not/would not resist this Power) and spend an Action or Reaction. Select a Creature target within arm's reach. You may select a target at any range if you use up a mirror that has reflected the target of the target. You must actively and obviously use a mirror to activate this Effect.

You possess your target and have control over their actions for the next hour. You do not leave your original body behind when you possess a target. When a possession ends, your original body will reappear at the host body’s same location. You may spend an Action to end the possession early.

Stats: Any Actions you take will use the possessed creature’s Brawn, Dexterity, and Perception, but use your own Charisma, Intellect, and Abilities.

Gifts: You have access to your Powers from within the host's body.

Death: If the host becomes incapacitated or is destroyed, you are forcibly evicted back into your own body.

Eviction: You are able to engage in combat or take other risky actions without being forced out of the host’s body. If you are forced out of the target's body prematurely, you must make a Trauma roll.

If you die and there is a creature under your supernatural command within a mile, you instead possess them indefinitely.

  • 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.
