When Harry died, his body became the site of a grotesque alchemical transformation. The foreign rituals performed on him activated the Philosopher’s Stone embedded within his chest, altering it in ways no one could predict. The red, waxy substance of the Stone, seemingly alive, reacts violently to Harry’s death, weaving itself through his body like threads of molten steel.
An hour after his death, the Stone begins to reconstruct his shattered form. Muscles knit themselves together, bones snap back into place, and veins reconnect with a sickening precision as the waxy material courses through his system. Slowly, his heart begins to pump once more, its rhythmic beat reigniting his body with unnatural vitality.
While Harry is incapacitated, his body lies in a fragile limbo, resisting further decay or failure. Yet, the Philosopher’s Stone anchors him to life with a single fatal flaw—his heart remains his sole vulnerability. If crushed or damaged during this liminal state, the alchemical magic will fail, leaving him beyond salvation.
When Harry rises, the injuries that killed him are gone, replaced by scars that bear the marks of his unnatural revival. The Philosopher’s Stone continues its silent work within him, a constant reminder that his survival is as much a curse as it is a miracle. Harry is no longer simply alive—he is alchemy incarnate, defying death itself, but tethered to a fragile and dangerous balance.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life. Unstabilized Injuries do not degrade while you are Incapacitated
While Incapacitated, your only weakness is Crushing my heart, and if you take Damage from it, you will die. Damage from other sources will still be dealt and can cause Battle Scars, but will only kill you if your body is destroyed completely. If your weakness is not immediately obvious, attackers may roll to discover it. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.
The Professional Gamer gets way too hyper and starts bouncing around on the soles of their feet before solving a Rubik's cube really fucking fast.
You gain the following benefits as long as must have consumed a fuck ton of sugar in the last hour.
Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is increased by 25 feet.
If your last Action was used for an all-out sprint or you are already accelerated, you may spend an Action to accelerate without a roll, adding 150 feet/Round (not affected by your speed bonus) to your sprint speed, to a max of an extra 300 feet/Round. As long as you stay at these speeds, you may use this distance per Round as your Free Movement.
Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds. Stopping, turning sharply, or decelerating more than 150 feet/Round must be performed as an Action. Failing to decelerate with an Action (whether because of an obstacle, sudden unfavorable terrain, an Injury, or other event) deals 3 Damage which Armor does not reduce.
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).
If you were moving quicker than you could without super speed and go a Round without using your Movement, you collapse and must remain immobile and resting for two Rounds.

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.

This alteration lasts one minute but may be prematurely destroyed or altered. Your alterations may be broken through with appropriate tools. Anyone attempting to break through must roll Brawn + a relevant Ability. A cumulative Outcome of 6 across all attempts breaks a hole large enough to move through. See the extended system text for GM guidance on various tools.
