The user touches a target and cuts apart the reality they're standing at.
Spend an Action. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Roll Intellect + Alertness Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling Body, Difficulty 6.
If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 2. Armor is fully effective against this Damage.

Myles has always had a keen eye and a sharp nose, but now? Now, he can track a scent through a rainstorm, pick up the faint trace of gunpowder from a crime scene days old. The city’s a tapestry of smells, each one telling a story—who was here, what they touched, what they left behind. Blood, sweat, lies, and fear all have a distinct aroma, and Myles can’t ignore them even if he tries.
And then there’s his sight. If he locks in, he can read a license plate from a rooftop across town or catch the subtle twitch in a suspect’s expression from a mile away. The trick is holding focus—like a wolf on the hunt, narrowing in on the prey, filtering out the noise of the world.
But heightened senses come at a cost. When he tunes in too deep, the rest of the world fades. If he’s tracking a scent, he might not hear the footsteps creeping up behind him. If he’s staring into the distance, he might not see what’s right in front of him. The gift of the hunt is powerful—but in the wrong moment, it can be a dangerous distraction.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Your senses are enhanced in the following way.

The Psychic can speak directly into someone's mind, engaging in an entirely telepathic conversation. While they do, they take on a blank, vacant stare in the direction of their target, and appear to be muttering gibberish to themselves under their breath.
Exert your Mind and 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 can see your target.
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.
The Thief examines an object closely for a minute to appraise its value. As their eyes dance across the subject, their pupils split vertically, and their irises fade to gold. If it is a particularly valuable item, the Thief may greedily lick their lips, revealing a forked tongue.

The musician assumes a powerful stance and strums a mighty power chord on their guitar. A blast of sound waves radiate outwards, destroying all who dare face the power chord directly.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must actively and obviously use your instrument to activate this Effect. The area within 25 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Charisma + Performance at Difficulty 6. Targets inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total Damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).
