Exert your Mind and spend an Action. A number of Animate targets within 50 feet who can perceive you through no greater than your Charisma rating are affected. Audiences or mobs with a singular focus count as one target. You must actively and obviously use Imperial Raiment to activate this Effect. Roll Charisma + Performance at Difficulty 6. All affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.
If you succeed, the targets will keep their full attention focused on you for as long as you maintain Concentration. They will automatically fail any rolls related to noticing anything other than you.
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 ends early if the target is Injured or violence occurs nearby.
This does not affect the target’s opinion of you or their mood, and they may take any Actions while affected (including attacking), as long as that action centers on you. Fascinated targets cannot Concentrate.
You may activate this Effect as a Reaction to contest any Action a valid target is taking. The target does not roll to resist, and beating their Outcome does not fascinate them. This interrupts Concentration.
Vita doesn’t know who leaves the notes. Or who’s filling her bag when she’s not looking. One moment she’s patting her pockets in frustration, the next she’s elbow-deep in her backpack, muttering something like “Where’d I put that grappling hook?”—and then it’s just there.
Wrapped up with a sticky note in pastel ink, maybe a doodle of a smiling beast, or a scrawled message like “You’ve got this! (Don't forget to hydrate!)”
Whatever mysterious creature or Fey trickster is behind this, they clearly adore her. And they have excellent timing.
Vita stops mid-action and dives into her tattered bag like she’s reaching into a cupboard. As she rummages, the bag gives off a gentle pulse—like a heartbeat made of glitter. A faint whiff of lavender or old moss drifts out. Then she yanks out the exact thing she needs: a crowbar, a thermos, a coil of rope, perfectly sized and freshly made.
Taped to it is a colorful note. Something silly. Something personal. Something unnervingly specific.
This isn't a spell. It isn’t a trick Vita learned. It’s something that just… started happening. Maybe it’s because of Bapha. Maybe it’s all the strange creatures she’s helped and all the pacts she didn’t realize she made. But now, when she needs something—really needs it—her bag becomes a little door to somewhere else.
Not just to the object, but to the intent behind it.
It’s not just gear—it’s kindness made tangible. A gift of utility from something watching her journey closely, tucked between worlds. She keeps the notes. She folds them, presses them flat, and stores them in an old mint tin.
They’re proof she’s not alone. Even when she’s rummaging in the dark.

Lasts 1 minute. Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is doubled.
Outside of Combat, any non-Gift, non-movement Actions you attempt take drastically less time to complete, as long as your personal speed is a factor in the Action. Total time reduction is determined by the GM and capped at 90% (executing the Action takes no less than 1/10th the normal time).
While using this Effect, you may carry one other being without affecting your Encumbrance, so long as you maintain contact with them for the duration and they consent or are grappled.
