You gain the following benefits at all times.
You are permanently and visibly transformed: ███████. You are considered to be a Sapient, Living being when targeted. Your Brawn is increased by 1, your Dexterity is increased by 1, and your Perception is increased by 1.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 20 feet which has both fuel and oxygen available (if you are starting a new fire). You must use up Lighter in order to activate this Effect.
You may start or extinguish a fire as large as a fire in a residential fireplace at your target. Extinguishing a fire does not cost Exertion. You may create or extinguish fires the size of a lighter or candle flame without Exerting your Mind. Your fires require fuel and oxygen in order to continue burning.
Lighting a target on fire deals 3 Damage each Round on your turn, starting in the Round after the one in which they caught fire. This Damage is reduced by Armor, but the target’s Armor rating will be depleted by any Damage dealt, destroying the Armor once it reaches 0.
You may extinguish flames as a Reaction. This does not extend to explosives.
When Cassie is touched, even through clothing, the target's mind rattles in their skull, dazzled with confusing sensations as they are concussed by magic
This Effect activates whenever someone touches Cassie's bare skin. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event. Roll Charisma + Athletics at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6 -3 dice.
If you succeed, for the next minute, your target will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by feeling their personal worst sensation on their skin, skin crawling and confusion and pain. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.
Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is a brief flash of light at the point of contact. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
If any affected target takes or deals Damage, this Effect ends.
As the Inspector dons his detective jacket, small, barely visible wisps of white mist with the barest hint of a sparkle seem to surround him as he blends in with his background.
When the Inspector went to obtain his new gift, the mystic said this gift of his legacy was a bit of a challenge. Something they used to help them move unseen, simple in theory, but complicated to master.
The magic was indeed tricky, and ever since he received it, the Inspector has been struggling to stay seen when he wants to be seen and stay unseen when he doesn't. The mystic said to take things he baby steps. Hopefully, he can manage even those.
You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using detective jacket to gain the benefits of this Effect.
You and any clothes or equipment you are wearing are partially obscured from sight. All attempts to detect you using sight are rolled at a -3 dice penalty, and all attempts to detect you where sight would assist are rolled at -1 penalty.
Entering Combat or being Injured will end the Effect. When the Effect ends, it is disabled for 1 hour.
Mimes are known for tricks of seemingly impossible poses and acts to do their trades, but the Truly Powerful mimes make their acts into actual tricks. Bob's belief in his abilities have begun to make things happen. That balloon can actually lift him, that rock he just picked up can actually hit someone, and his fishing pole can actually snag that guys hat. Bob, of course, is oblivious to the concept of Telekinesis. He simply believes his act has just gotten That good.
Because this power is dependent on Bob's belief in his acting, certain conditions can limit this power. Bob has to be able to act out his trick (potentially requiring rolls, especially for complicated tricks.) I myself have to be able to logically explain how his trick works. He can not simply lift something at a distance. He has to mime out a pole, or rope slung over something above. A glass of water would be beyond his abilities to simply lift at a distance.
Due to the fact that this is all based on belief, shattering that belief by playing along with it actually has an effect. If Bob is floating with an illusionary balloon, and someone targets the balloon, it will pop, ending the effect. Cutting a rope he is pulling will end the effect. kicking out the chair he's sitting on will end the effect.
His miming it an act, and hence sometimes takes time to do. Using his "Fishing pole" to pull an item to him in combat would take at least a round to set up, as he would have to mime out pulling out the fishing pole, setting up the cast in a way that shows it's a fishing pole, and then making the actual cast. GM's should keep this in mind, and are free to debate the length of time it would take to act something out like this. Bob does not simply pull something out of his pocket, he must make an act that lets people know exactly what it is he just pulled out of his pocket for it to have any effect. Picking up a "rock" off the ground and lobbing it at someone, probably doesn't need a lot of set up.
You gain the following benefits as long as Must Mime out the actions to explain the effect.
As long as you maintain Concentration, you can take Actions and interact with things that are within 75 feet without needing to physically touch them or be near them. Any rolls made for Actions taken in this way use a Mental Strength of 4 in place of your Brawn rating, a Mental Agility of 1 in place of your Dexterity, and otherwise use your own Attributes and Abilities.
Telekinetic actions have the following restrictions and behaviors:
The musician assumes a powerful stance and strums a mighty power chord on their guitar. A blast of sound waves radiate outwards, destroying all who dare face the power chord directly.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must actively and obviously use your instrument to activate this Effect. The area within 25 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Charisma + Performance at Difficulty 6. Targets inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total Damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).
If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 25 feet of you with Damage equal to your Outcome + 4. If you botched the activation roll, you will also take full Damage from the blast, otherwise it will not hurt you.
You may only use this Effect once per day.

If you are damaged while transformed, the damage is realized when you return to normal. If you are damaged before you transform, your inanimate form will appear partially damaged.
You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.
When the Vampire's lust for blood is satiated, their injuries heal at a remarkably fast rate and new injuries are quickly stabilized. While healing, the Vampire's skin retains its deathly pale appearance, as any blood he consumes is being used to repair his wounds.
You gain the following benefits as long as as long as you have drank a half gallon (lethal) amount of blood in the past 24 hours.
Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level each hour. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.
