A magical spell circle surrounds the user as reality tears apart momentarily, overwhelming the user's mind for a moment, before magical aura comes and implants itself in the target's mind, to which then pieces of artwork superimposes onto them as they are given a specific, non obvious bodily augmentation. It can also attach other more alien things onto itself.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma. The target can easily Resist.
You may add one augmentation to your target. Each augmentation counts as a Battle Scar and can have exactly one of the following Effects:
By transplanting a body part from an Alien being, you can grant an intrinsic Effect from that part to the subject. Its power level should be limited to one Gift Point or less.
The augmentations you provide are not outwardly visible nor obvious.
You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Reality tears and shatters around the user and the book, revealing eldritch horrors to the target and all those around them.
Your alteration "heals" over the course of the next month, after which it is fully cured.
3....2....1.... When the monster is finally down, you can see one man walking up to it... "Be careful, we aren't sure if it's fully down." "Don't worry, I'll make sure it's down." The man's shadow is now behind the monster and you can see his hands along the shadow, tearing and gashing into the monster, ripping out whatever was the cause for his powers. You can hear a slight slurp noise and can see a little foam coming out of his mouth as he is now eating the monster.

Elrienne extends her hand out, etheral flames erupting around it. Then she places the hand on the targets and begins to etch runes of her own essence into the very soul of the target. To have ones soul modified like this is a painful and traumatic experience, but the reward is one well worth the cost.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Paranoia: You have a natural distrust of everyone around you, and are always on edge looking for threats. You must roll Self Control in order to let another person remain in a position where they could easily hurt you, or to allow someone else to perform a task which is necessary to keep yourself safe. If you fail, you may Exert your Mind to face your fear.
During the time of establishing an augmentation, the target's body cycles through minor animal features that fit what the augmentation is about. Features of different animals fade into place and then out, until none show at all at the end but the concept of them is firmly established in their mind. Examples include claws, talons, teeth, beaks, etc for Maws and Claws; scales, toughened skin, thick hide, etc for Armor; and digitigrade legs, paws, hooves, etc for Zippy.
Sometimes the augmentation ends up a bit more than the animal features may suggest, such as with Adaptation augmentations. Key being that even though gills may be a physical representation of breathing in the target environment, the Adaptation may extend to not needing to breathe if the target environment contains toxic gasses. Perhaps they take in oxygen through the skin as a jellyfish does underwater, but in the air.
Using the same concept of resonance fields as the Morphic Resonance gift, I tap into the target's potential animal traits by connecting to different animals and cycling through them until the target's best affinity for the intended augmentation is found. Once found, the appropriate traits of that animal recede into their mind and stay there for as long as I can manage it. The field itself then takes that mental imprint and maintains a stable effect on the target.
