Yuri's screams out in pain as their body breaks and deforms into a Wendigo

You transform into Bloodied Wendigo for 30 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are Bloodied Wendigo, and you can use your equipment.

Instead, you remain Incapacitated.
While transformed, your Attributes are the same. Your Stress is reduced by 2.
Your body is adapted to Stealth. You receive +3 dice on non-attack rolls related to Stealth.
Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see His skin and bones break and deform into large Wendigo creature. Blood bursts out and bones crack.
After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.

When Ringo is about to be hit by an attack, his golden eyes begin to glow as he calculates the vector(s) of the attack(s). The attack is then (somehow) deflected back towards the attacker or towards another direction.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome + 2 Damage.

The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is when your eyes begin to glow. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
Quincy takes a moment to straighten his appearance and dust himself off - wipe blood from his nose, straighten his clothes, etc. As he does so, he seems to emit a gravity: small objects around him rattle and air rushes into his body as he takes an impossibly deep breath.

A shadow separates itself painfully from Evan. Dark tentacles sprout from the shadow and reach out to knit a copy of Evan's arm, reaching out as if to grab threads and needles from surrounding matter. From the right angle one can see the faint limb, seemingly thin as paper, appearing and connecting to Evan's forearm. It hides like a living being, in folds of clothing or draped around Evan but stands ready, as a snake, ready to strike.

As the change overtakes him, Norman is instantly engulfed in a violent flash of blood-red flame, the searing light swallowing his human form in less than a heartbeat. With a guttural, agonized scream that twists the soul, his already imposing figure contorts and swells in a blur of impossible speed. Where Norman once stood, an abomination towers—a nightmarish, eldritch beast over nine feet tall. Its hide is covered with thick fur; a swirling, reddish-brown coat constantly rippling as if alive, radiating waves of unnatural heat. Two jagged and ribbed horns rip from its skull and curve menacingly backwards and to the sides, their edges glowing faintly with feverish energy. The creature’s eyes burn with a sickly, otherworldly glow, and its mouth stretches into a savage rictus, exposing an arsenal of needle-like, interlocking fangs. The air seems to warp and shudder around it, reality recoiling from each of its thunderous, echoing steps. The transformation ends as suddenly as it began, leaving the world ringing with the echo of Norman’s tortured scream and the lingering, acrid scent of scorched earth—a horrifying reminder of the eldritch power now unshackled.
