Their flesh is yielding and malleable, and makes such delightful shapes under your touch as you twist and form their bodies into new shapes like so many balloon animals before they finally burst. Why did you ever try to fight this feeling?

Charolette stomps her foot sharply, and her cat bell jingles, resonating with a creaking groan. The mansion around her shifts, new flooring running over old rot and old walls falling away to reveal new ones.
Charolette is, as she says, the mansion personified. One of it's hundreds of hands and two of its thousands of eyes, reshaped to fit the deep, deep inner feelings of the mansion's newfound owner. She cannot use the power on herself without the owner's presence, because only through the mind of another can she bring change to her body.
Exert your Mind (unless you are Sculpting) and spend an Action. Select a Location within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless the owner of the house is standing within 10ft of you and you are within the property line of Charolette's Mansion. You must actively and obviously use a cat bell to activate this Effect. You must be in an area abundant with man-made structures and materials.
Select one of the following alterations to create out of man-made construction materials originating at the target:
The alteration begins to form when you activate this Effect and finishes forming on your initiative in the next Round. Until it finishes forming, it is not guaranteed to function.
This alteration lasts indefinitely but may be prematurely destroyed or altered. Your alterations may be broken through with appropriate tools. Anyone attempting to break through must roll Brawn + a relevant Ability. A cumulative Outcome of 6 across all attempts breaks a hole large enough to move through. See the extended system text for GM guidance on various tools.
You may sculpt your walls, domes, or tunnels as you create them, without any additional activation time or cost.
Mechanical tentacles sprout from your back, held in place by a spinal implant. These limbs can tipped with manipulator claws, each concealing a different tool or weapon within the palm, and can be used for a multitude of purposes.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You gain 2 additional limbs that function as standard human arms and hands.
Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Each additional appendage you have gives you +1 dice to make and resist Grapples (up to a maximum bonus of +4 dice).
Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.
Your extra appendage can be used to attack in exactly the same manner as a Laser Shotgun.
Your body provides you with the functionality of Cutting/Welding torch. If used to attack, these "tools" use the same stats as a small knife.
Your Extra Appendage counts as an object and can be hacked or targeted by any Powers that affect objects or machines. Injuries to your Extra Appendage cannot be healed by Powers that affect living things but may be repaired during Downtime.
You cannot be mistaken for a normal human. You cannot always use standard human clothes, equipment, vehicles, and facilities, and when you can, you suffer an increased Difficulty.
Colonel shoves his hand into the electrical plug, and visibly convulses and smokes for a moment before pointing his finger at a target- the electricity arcs out and ignites the target in a flash of blue electricity.

The nightmares. The horrible feeling of spiders in her blood. What was written on that sheet of paper she was given. All signs that Ame can’t quite piece together yet, but her body is slowly piecing together for her. Several barely noticeable lumps across her body, namely in the palms of her hands, the soles of her feet, and the back of her throat, have gained the ability to sprout 50ft lengths of webbing, that can be used for self defense, or even longer amounts when not in combat.
This webbing can be used as a garrote as well as a dagger.

Blessed by the storm-wielding god Indra, your body becomes a conduit for divine thunder, making your unarmed strikes as swift and relentless as a raging tempest. Each attack carries the force of a thousand storms, amplifying your speed, power, and precision to supernatural levels. Your movements crackle with static energy, and every punch, kick, or parry resonates like rolling thunder, disrupting the very air around you.
While engaged in unarmed combat, your strikes break through defenses like a lightning bolt piercing the heavens. The storm itself seems to favor you—guiding your hands, amplifying your reflexes, and making you an unstoppable force. No blade, bullet, or brute strength can overwhelm you, for you are the tempest given form.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are engaged in unarmed combat.
+2 dice to rolls for Attacking, Defending, and Clashing without a weapon. Unarmed attacks do +2 Weapon Damage (instead of -1).

The aquamancer dissolves into a flowing pool of semi-solid water. Anything they were carrying is left behind in a damp pile. While transformed, they may squeeze through tiny gaps, and are extremely resilient against most standard attacks.
Resolidifying is exhausting.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
You transform into a flowing pool of water for the next minute. You may end the effect early and return to your normal form at will. Your structure must remain relatively contiguous. Observers will view you as an unusual entity moving with a singular purpose.
