Becoming imbued has awakened something inside you. It feels like a lens or filter has been removed from the world that you didn't even know was there. Now you notice things that you never did before, all of your senses are sharpened. The metaphysical gloves are off. This is going to be fun.

You gain the following benefits at all times.
Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is tripled.
If your last Action was used for an all-out sprint or you are already accelerated, you may spend an Action to accelerate without a roll, adding 150 feet/Round (not affected by your speed bonus) to your sprint speed, to a max of an extra 300 feet/Round. As long as you stay at these speeds, you may use this distance per Round as your Free Movement.
Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds. Stopping, turning sharply, or decelerating more than 150 feet/Round must be performed as an Action. Failing to decelerate with an Action (whether because of an obstacle, sudden unfavorable terrain, an Injury, or other event) deals 3 Damage which Armor does not reduce.
If you perform an all-out Sprint while this Effect is active, all Attacks targeting you suffer -3 dice for the next Round.
Outside of Combat, any non-Gift, non-movement Actions you attempt take drastically less time to complete, as long as your personal speed is a factor in the Action. Total time reduction is determined by the GM and capped at 90% (executing the Action takes no less than 1/10th the normal time).
If you were moving quicker than you could without super speed and go a Round without using your Movement, you collapse and must remain immobile and resting for two Rounds.

A candy heart has become the center stone in Bismarck's body, fully integrating his gusher-juice blood into something amazing. Whenever Bismarck needs to see better than normal, at any time, such as to react to something normally unseen or perhaps to avoid something hurdling towards him, his candy heart pumps something fierce to provide a surge of energy throughout his entire body that sends his gusher-juice-blood careening down his veins not unlike a burst of adrenaline.
However, his heart may be obviously seen as a new, easy target. After all, when it does make a beat like this, it glows so brightly that it can be seen through his clothes and hardened sugar skin, a clear, cherry colored silhouette that may be seen by the masses. Pray that no one catches it, lest they learn it's your Achilles heel.
You gain the following benefits as long as you have your heart.

Sage either stares intently at her target, or closes her eyes for a moment when targeting herself. Tiny trailing wisps come off the target for a moment, as it begins to move.

Years ago, I was staying with my rich grandmother for a while, and she revealed to me that she's more than she seems. Specifically, that she's an alchemist, among other things. I wanted to believe her but she knew I'd keep doubting until she proved it. So, she made me some special tea to enhance my dreams. In those dreams, I could move things, as if I could reach out beyond my reach. I could even focus really hard and lift myself off the ground.
When I woke up, I could still do it, and part of me feels like I've been dreaming ever since. Grandmother insisted that she didn't mean for it to have a lasting effect, but it did. People call it telekinesis, but it feels like the essence of my dreams is doing the lifting for me.

Your senses are enhanced in the following way.
Harold’s Enhanced Perception interprets every scent and sight as though it were a silent “speech act” embedded in the world around him. Just as Speech Act Theory suggests that language conveys intent and action, Harold’s senses allow him to detect unspoken messages within scents and traces left by touch, movement, or presence. Each scent or invisible detail, like a fingerprint, becomes a form of communication—a kind of sensory language revealing clues about who or what was present, and what actions took place.
Through his heightened sense of smell, Harold treats scents as unique “signatures” left by individuals or objects, each telling its own story. To him, a scent is a lingering “utterance” of someone’s presence, as if their movements and actions left traces in the air. By differentiating between scents with precision, he can read this invisible narrative and connect it to people, places, and events he’s encountered before.
Harold’s vision allows him to see normally invisible details—fingerprints, bacteria, residual marks—as the “evidence” of actions, each trace a physical “speech act” left behind. Just as words convey hidden intentions, these traces serve as residual expressions of past interactions. When Harold views these otherwise invisible elements, it’s as if he’s reading silent statements from the world itself, each detail contributing to a deeper understanding of what has transpired.
In this way, Harold’s Enhanced Perception transforms sensory information into a conversation with his surroundings, where every trace, scent, and hidden detail is a part of a larger dialogue that only he can perceive. His mastery of Speech Act Theory enables him to interpret these sensory “statements” and unravel the story beneath the surface, making him an expert at uncovering truths in silence.
