Guided Possession "We're all uglier in the mirror, in retrospect."
Through the reflective surface, Nathan invites a specific damned spirit, commonly with an offerring of some sort, bearing the appalling appearance of their particular death, squirming into his body, gifting his reflection a misshapen conjoined ghost which lends its capabilities.
The possessor of the spirit can always see their disturbing form reflected.
Spirit possession is practiced by spirit mediums, which has a deity who is invited to take over the their body, granting noticeable alterations to the practitioner. This capability stems from the nature of the mediums, who if compared to vessels are unfilled unlike most adults. This grants them space that deities can occupy.
Nathan cannot do that, he does not have the reach to even commune with a deity, let alone invite their presence but with part of his hun as a reflection, he can replicate some aspects of this effect, calling upon the dead, or even only parts of them. After the occupation is complete, then the real work can be done, transference.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You may only target yourself. The target can easily Resist.
You may add one augmentation to your target. Each augmentation counts as a Trauma and can have exactly one of the following Effects:
- Specialized: You receive +3 dice to a particular non-combat, non-Effect Action.
- Environmental Adaptation: You do not suffer harm from heat, cold, pressure, or lack of oxygen in a particular environment, provided that challenge normally exists in that environment.
- Implanted Tool: You have access to the functionality of some common Device at all times. The selected Device can be no larger than a backpack.
- Armor: You have 3 Armor at all times. As always, Armor from multiple sources does not stack.
- Pouch: Part of your body functions as a hidden pocket. It can hold no more than a backpack.
- Zippy: Your Free Movement is increased by 15 feet.
- Maws and Claws: Your unarmed attacks do +3 Weapon Damage instead of -1.
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.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the forming of the terrible lingering spirit.
- The systems for any Powers or Effects granted by splicing from other creatures are subject to Playgroup Leader approval and may be adjusted from their NPC counterparts.
- When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
- Remember: A Contractor’s Body rating is reduced by 1 for each Battle Scar after their fourth.
- You may not augment targets with pouches or implanted devices that are larger than they are.
- Targets without Body ratings may have a maximum of 4 augmentations.
- Example environments for adaptation: space, all saltwater, all fresh water, all water under 50 feet deep, all water deeper than 50 feet, the jungle, radioactive areas, a specific alien world, etc.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

CryptoLeak: Silence is Broken
CryptoLeak is a video streaming platform with a singular goal: to allow users to upload and share video content, no matter what. Videos uploaded to cryptoleak cannot be removed, doctored, or censored.
Despite a near-universal condemnation by world leaders, most people greatly appreciate CryptoLeak. It's the go-to platform for posting illuminations, whistleblowing evidence, and data leaks.
CryptoLeak is a mundane technlogical entity that cannot be controlled or destroyed. It has no backing business or organization. It utilizes a distributed architecture that allows it to host content across the entire world, sharding and mirroring its petabytes of data accross millions of personal devices. Content uploaded to CryptoLeak is immutable and cannot be doctored or redacted by any known means.
For once, technology has put the power in the hands of the little guys.
World governments and other powerful organizations can still censor or restrict access to CryptoLeak within their domains, and they sometimes utilize the platform for misinformation and psy-ops campaigns. However, for most people, CryptoLeak represents the freedom to speak and be heard.
Of course, simply uploading a video does not gaurentee it will be seen or gain traction, nor does it protect you from any consequences that may come along with pulling back the veil. . .

Empowering Ink
Sometimes a cool look is all you need.
By applying the mystical ink used by the artifact, Logan is able to imbue the abilities of whatever is tattooed onto his client. Unlike the process of a regular tattoo, this takes far less time and is rather painless for the entire duration, and once inked onto the skin the tattoo appears to be living and breathing.

Change of Perspective
You can clown too!
After eight hours of grueling jokes and clownish banter, the worm within Mort's skull has communed with you. You've become a bit of a clown in your own sense, as long as you believe in clowning, your body gets a benefit of its own! Now thank the parasite for sharing some of its power.
When used on himself, Mort directly speaks to the parasite jammed within his brain. He hears it, the chanting, the laughter, it all becomes one with him. He's no longer the mortician he started this journey as, he's becoming something far greater.
