The Night Terror contained within the user's arm appears outwardly as coating the arm in a black smoke-like essence, contained safely within an arm brace and hidden behind a sling.
The Night Terror's consciousness exists independently to the user, meaning that it has a mind of its own. Even when contained in the brace, it will attempt to break free and move aggressively.
It can be unleashed by first unlocking the arm brace. When this occurs, the black smoke coating the arm will begin to increase in density and quantity before stretching out up to 30ft long, sprouting 3 sharp claws at the end.
Due to the Night Terror having a mind of its own, it will attempt to drag the user along as it does as it pleases, causing it to often attack anyone it initially sees upon being unleashed.
The Night Terror can be contained if the arm brace is reapplied with a full action and by succeeding a Brawn:Athletics check (Difficulty 6).

Harold Polk embodies the pinnacle of spycraft, blending classic espionage skills with a self-hypnosis regimen grounded in Speech Act Theory. Through carefully crafted hypnotic phrases, he has reprogrammed his mind into a weapon of perception and influence.

Each observation is absorbed like a new language, allowing him to mimic skills and knowledge with uncanny ease, as though he’s slipping into a role.
