While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (including Artifacts and Consumables), and you cannot use your Active, Direct, or Trap Powers. However, you can use your Passive Powers. The equipment you are wearing does not transform with you.
Injuries and Wound Level are carried over between forms. However, transforming can never kill you; you merely remain Incapacitated until your Injuries are sufficiently healed.
the Bible in his hands begins to glow with an ethereal golden light, its edges shimmering like the dawn breaking through stained glass. As he opens its pages, the light intensifies, casting warm, dancing rays across the room. He places his hand gently on the person’s forehead, and the golden light flows from the Bible into his palm, then travels like liquid sunlight into the person's mind.

With a pendant held tight in his hand, Ced casts a psyart, targeted at the person, who at this point was at death's door. Soon enough, man is awake.

Huey pupils dilate like a wolf’s at night. His nostrils flare as he picks up subtle scents invisible to others, and his ears seem to twitch toward even the faintest noise. To any observer, his entire demeanor shifts—his posture lowers slightly, and an intense stillness takes over, like a predator zeroing in on prey. This effect isn’t overtly supernatural unless someone is paying close attention.
Cursed and blessed in equal measure, Huey’s senses are a constant reminder of the wild beast within. Every scent, every sound tells a story that others can’t perceive—footsteps echo with intent, and fear has a distinct metallic tang on the air. His heightened awareness is a double-edged sword: the clearer the world becomes, the harder it is to ignore the primal urges buried deep in his subconscious. Each time he leans into this power, Huey walks a fine line between man and monster.

The werewolf's gnashing teeth sheer through steel and bone alike. Those caught in their maw rarely make it out alive.

True to their namesake, the hacker can penetrate the security of any computer system, granting access to its informational stores, or, in a pinch, allowing them to issue commands. The hacked system will display a flickering image of a ghost until it is dismissed.
While hacking, The Technician's fingers move with supernatural speed, blurring like a ghost.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Computer within arm's reach. Does not work on Alien technology. Roll Intellect + Technology, with the Difficulty set by the GM depending on the security of the system you are hacking. Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.
If your command does not require bypassing the security of the target (for example, typing on a computer that is unlocked), you do not need to Exert your Mind to activate this Effect, and activation only takes a single Action.
Your Hack cannot be reversed through mundane means for a number of hours equal to your Outcome.
Every hack you make leaves behind a flickering image of a ghost in the system as a personal "calling card" that informs anyone who uses the system that the hack occurred.
