WIP
Spend an Action. Select a target any distance away from you. You must have a specific target in mind, but you require only an intuitive understanding of them, such as their name, face, or Location. This Effect cannot be used unless you have seen the target's reflection in-person, the target is willing to communicate with you (allowing the effect to take hold), and you are possessing a creature.
You open up a line of communication to your target, and may converse with them as long as one of you maintains Concentration
The conversation will only be perceived by the intended recipient. You must share a common language for your target to understand the message.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is WIP. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.
Glowing symbols form over the target with the location and colour determined by the type of augment (zippy would be on the legs, maws and claws would be on the arms and other unarmed weapon locations). the symbols settle on the target then vanish, whenever the augment is used symbols glow on the area (very slight glow),
.if the augments "Implanted tool" or "Pouch" are used they take the form of magical symbols e.g. implanted tool (clock) could be a symbol you activate to see a digital clock in your field of vision while Pouch could be a location on your body that when activated would let you reach into your self and pull out items you have stored (same mechanics as normal).
.sometimes a sigil might not be visible during its use if it is counter-intuitive e.g. an augmentation for stealth would not glow, an augmentation that helps with persuading people also wouldn't be very obvious maybe a slight glow in the eyes.

Murphy holds their musical instrument close as their eyes soften. They weave together a sweet melody, a tug on the heartstrings, as the target is suddenly overcome with intense emotion.
