a trail of blue follow's Irene's hand and knife as the space between her and her destination is deleted, almost instantly dragging her to her location of choice
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location which is at most 75 feet away horizontally or 15 feet away vertically. You must actively and obviously use knife knuckle to activate this Effect.
You jump to the chosen location. If the landing is precarious, the GM may call for a roll to land safely. You will never take fall damage from successfully landing a jump made with this Effect.
You may opt to trade your free movement for a Super Leap if you are jumping less than 50 feet or if you are closing a gap to an opponent and spend your Action on an attack.
Instead of physically passing through the air, you are teleported directly to your destination. Does not allow you to go through walls, cages, or grapples.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: 2 circular structures on one hand, a heart shaped structure on the other.
Tendrils from the gloves stretch and fly off to wrap around and hold the target, binding them with darkness and void energy as they are held in place, slowly and wrapping around the target and after an uninterrupted bind, are sealed in a cocoon of darkness.
Spend an Action. Select a target within 45 feet. Roll Dexterity + Athletics (5 dice) at Difficulty 6. The target may contest by Defending or Dodging.
If you succeed, your target will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They cannot move to a new location, and, if your Contested Outcome was greater than their Brawn, they are encased and cannot take any physical Actions other than attempting to escape until they break free.
Restricted targets may escape their binding by spending an Action and taking a Severity-1 Injury. Their movement is reduced by 10 feet until the Injury heals.
You may use this Effect as a Reaction to contest any physical Action a target is taking. Excess Outcome does not restrict the target. This interrupts Concentration.
If your target does not escape within 3 Rounds, they cannot ever free themselves and must be rescued.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Coils of Void and souls come out of the ground as they attempt to latch onto their target.
This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 1.
Imagine the affected individual suddenly finding themselves in a distorted version of reality where familiar surroundings twist into nightmarish shapes. Alice appears as an ethereal figure, her eyes glowing with an otherworldly intensity. She moves with an unsettling grace, her voice echoing like whispers in a windstorm.
Within the mind, memories and fears manifest in grotesque forms: childhood toys turn into monstrous creatures, familiar faces morph into sinister masks, and mundane objects distort into symbols of dread. The atmosphere becomes suffused with a sense of impending doom, as if the very fabric of reality is unraveling.
As Alice delves deeper into the psyche, she projects haunting visions and manipulates emotions, causing profound psychological distress. The victim feels powerless against this invasive force, their thoughts and fears laid bare before Alice's penetrating gaze.
Throughout the experience, Alice remains an enigmatic presence, her motives unclear but her impact undeniable. Those witnessing the scene are left with a lingering sense of unease, as if they too are peering into the abyss of their own subconscious fears.
In the tapestry of Alice's extraordinary abilities, her power to invade minds and evoke profound trauma weaves a thread of dark enchantment. Rooted in the whimsical yet unsettling realm of "Alice in Wonderland," this Gift transcends mere fantasy, delving deep into the metaphysical underpinnings of consciousness and fear.
At its core lies a duality akin to the looking glass itself—a reflection of both wonder and terror. Alice, a paradoxical figure of innocence and manipulation, harnesses this power with a grace that belies its chilling implications. Her ability to traverse the boundaries of sanity and perception speaks to an intimate understanding of the human psyche's fragile architecture.
Metaphysically, this Gift taps into the uncharted territories of psychic intrusion, where reality bends at the whim of a singular will. It hints at a realm where dreams and nightmares converge, where memories bleed into manifestations of dread. Alice, as the wielder, becomes a conduit between the tangible and the intangible, navigating through mental landscapes fraught with symbolism and subconscious echoes.
The origins of such a power are shrouded in mystery, perhaps stemming from the peculiar alchemy of Wonderland itself—a place where logic twists into riddles and reality fades into whimsy. It mirrors the transformative journey of Alice, from a curious child exploring a fantastical realm to a spectral presence capable of haunting minds.
In essence, this Gift embodies the timeless allure of darkness within enchantment, where innocence and malevolence dance in an eternal waltz. It invites contemplation on the depths of human fear and the fragility of perception, urging us to confront the shadows that lurk beneath our conscious selves. Alice's power is not just a narrative device but a philosophical exploration—a haunting reminder that even in wonderlands, there are depths where fears take shape and nightmares come alive.

If you pass from their perception and they are unable to pursue you, the Effect ends. If they can follow you, they must do so for 2 Rounds or the Effect will end. The Effect will continue even if violence occurs nearby or if your target is Injured. It does end if the target takes Damage from a source other than you.

You may Exert your mind to compel a Fascinated target to begin moving towards you.

The creature's claws rip through the poor, defenseless doctor's coat, opening deep gashes in their gut. It bares its fangs to lunge for the killing blow, but the doctor looks up at the attacker.
