Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see nanites ooze out of the pores, caustically eating away mundane clothing, and within the naked body bones and sinew writhe under skin, as seams tear open and heal over and over where the shape of the body changes and excess flesh is eaten away by the same nanites before they reconstruct new clothes across the body and ooze back into the nose, mouth and ears..

When Victor Vaugn first designed his signature super suits, he learnt of a way to transfer the kinetic energy that the wearer was producing into a sustainable and clean energy source; an energy source that Victor could take advantage of, activated by the subconscious response to the sense of danger, vocal command, or simply activating it through the suits control panel, the suit would transfer the built up power of the kinetic energy created through running, walking, fighting, etc on and over the wearers suit, creating a vividly colorful and transparent barrier extending only a few inches off the skin over the supersuit.
The barrier visually is a hexagonal grid in the shape of the users outline, the color of the barrier itself is dependent on the wearer and can be edited through the control panel to the wearers wishes

The bearer of the Ring of Dreams raises their hand up and open wide as if holding a large spherical object, as gold flecked shadows of deep purple pour like water from their open palm to the ground below. With the firm closing of the bearers hand into a fist the shadow coalesces into tangible form, appearing to each observer - a different shape and appearance, that of their deep-seated fears, or the closest physical manifestation of them.
Be they real or imagined, physical, or metaphysical, the fears of the onlooker rise from the inky mist into a shape recognizable. Each form uniquely tailored to the onlookers subconscious. The golden flecks of dust expand and cover the beings' surface with color and texture to better align with the illusion. In truth, the being is nothing more than a homunculus made of Oneiromantic magic, bound to the ring and the will of it's master. Shapeless in nature, the creature lashes out with tendrils and pseudopods that extend from its mass, which stays whole and moves as one entity, creating leg like appendages and stepping to the stride of the forward leg or legs, as the previous legs are reabsorbed into the mass.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action.
