A powerful move granted by the fairy queen Nicneven herself, designed to fortify the warrior's body against any harm. To activate it, you raise your sword in a ritualistic gesture, invoking Nicneven’s divine protection. As the blessing takes hold, your veins begin to turn a deep orange hue, symbolizing the sacred fire coursing through you. This fiery essence strengthens your muscles and hardens your skin, forming an invisible barrier that absorbs and deflects incoming attacks.
Exert your Mind (unless Flying With Phoenix Ascension) and spend an Action. You must actively and obviously use Has to be used with a Claymore of the Lasair Nicneven to activate this Effect. Roll Brawn + Melee at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome + 6 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
The barrier will fall after two hours, 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.
Pawn's veins begin to bulge and darken as shadowy mist gathers in front of her. A red aura can be seen exiting Pawn and entering the shadowy mass instead. From that mass emerges a dark humanoid figure with red eyes and no other features. With a spin of his scythe, everything goes back to normal.

David will reach into a seam, and pull out a ghost of the departed alongside one of their treasured possessions. David will wrestle the ghost, taking their possession from them, and the covetous spirit will dissipate, defeated. If David fails his check, the spirit will instead jealously hold on to its item as it flees back to the temporary seam in the air, disappearing back to the realm of the dead. When the effect runs out, the item will seem to disappear into thin air, as it is pulled back to the realms of the dead
David did some digging into more…unrefined necromancy, following his last encounter with such magics on a job.

The Thief casts a container's worth of fine spice into the air.

If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see you drink blood directly from the vein.
