A crystal eye rests in a wrought-iron socket, set into the back of Felix's hand. When activated (or reactivated), the eye will close tightly, and momentarily take control of its host, allowing for superhuman feats of dexterity.
The original consciousness, innate to Law's Parathesis, peers through this crystal eye, ever alert and vigilant on Felix's behalf. At times, the Mind will react independent of Felix, or the two will focus their collective thought for one action. Both cases display the masterful grace and finesse that comes with such presence of minds.
You gain the following benefits as long as you have your crystal eye.
Your Dexterity rating is increased by 2. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Dexterity (Cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations).
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Fear of losing Law's Parathesis.
If you are witnessed actively using this Effect, whoever sees it can make a Perception + Alertness roll at Difficulty 6. A complete success reveals the source of your power.
You also gain the following effects:
I cause a constant illusion around myself, always taking the form of the most important person one lost. In combat, it allows me to cause frightening illusions of things and people the lost, or can lose.
To uphold extra combat effects of this ability, I have to have my opening saddened or fearful enough to feed on.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within arm's reach. Choose an illusion to generate, which can be no larger than a briefcase.
The chosen illusion is generated at your target, and it will remain in place for the next minute or you choose to end it. It can be perceived by people through their sight. The illusion cannot be used as an attack. You cannot make an exact replica of an existing Animate being or Object.
Anyone who touches the illusion (or who would be able to perceive it significantly through a sense it cannot fool) realizes it is an illusion and can choose to perceive it or not at will.
The illusion will remain fixed to its initial target, and can only change locations if the initial target is mobile in some way. It may have moving parts and engage in simple, predetermined movements but cannot perform anything complex or interactive unless you maintain Concentration and “puppeteer” it.
Sage either stares intently at her target, or closes her eyes for a moment when targeting herself. Tiny trailing wisps come off the target for a moment, as it begins to move. They look like something between 3d shadow or unnaturally dense smoke, it's difficult to tell with how quickly they dissipate.
Years ago, I was staying with my rich grandmother for a while, and she revealed to me that she's more than she seems. Specifically, that she's an alchemist, among other things. I wanted to believe her but she knew I'd keep doubting until she proved it. So, she made me some special tea to enhance my dreams. In those dreams, I could move things, as if I could reach out beyond my reach. I could even focus really hard and lift myself off the ground.
When I woke up, I could still do it, and part of me feels like I've been dreaming ever since. Grandmother insisted that she didn't mean for it to have a lasting effect, but it did. People call it telekinesis, but it feels like the essence of my dreams is doing the lifting for me.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
As long as you maintain Concentration, you can take Actions and interact with things that are within 75 feet without needing to physically touch them or be near them. Any rolls made for Actions taken in this way use a Mental Strength of 4 in place of your Brawn rating, a Mental Agility of 2 in place of your Dexterity, and otherwise use your own Attributes and Abilities.
Telekinetic actions have the following restrictions and behaviors:
He doodles a sketch, one that to him is himself, but can be a symbolic reflection. He can spend as much time on it as he likes, but at minimum, it's enough strokes to imply a face.
The face's eyes will move, and occasionally the head itself will turn. It also is animated for other actions, gazing around the room, yawning, laughing silently or biting it's lip. (It is also animated as it is destroyed, visually dying and leaving a 'drawn corpse' or remains, bleeds and so on.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 10 feet.
You place a ward, which is fixed to its initial location. You can hear and see through the ward as though you were standing at its location. You may have at most 1 wards active at once.
The ward requires Concentration to monitor, though it will remain active until you deactivate it. The presence of the Ward is obvious to anyone being watched by it, and it can be destroyed by mundane means.
You may declare a condition to watch for on an active Ward. If it occurs, you may roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 6, to notice it, even if you are not actively monitoring that ward.
Your Ward records all activity it observes, regardless of whether or not you are actively monitoring it. This recording can be played back and referenced later.

Raise the hair on your neck. Tune in to the city.
Cool for: City Lovers, The Wisest of the Street Wise, The Genuinely Supra-Natural
Shivers come when the temperature drops and you become more keenly aware of your surroundings. It enables you to hear the city itself, to truly belong to the streets. It is a supra-natural ability; old wrongs play out in present time, scenes across the city happen in front of you. But who is speaking to you?
At high levels, Shivers may make you seem mad to the outside world – as you listen to the city, you don’t listen to others. Your superiors may begin to worry. With a low Shivers, though you will seldom hear the city speaking to you – and if you cannot hear it, how can you ever save it?

Doc puts his hands on you and begins to mutter to himself in french. The effect is instant and horrible. You begin to remember all of the sins of your past, all the ways that you've wronged those who loved you. All of the terrible, evil things you've done on these contracts in order to survive. Doc seems to be in the grips of similar memories, tears running down his chin and dripping onto his hands that are pressed tightly against you. At the point where your mind feels like it's about to break, it's over. Just as quickly as it began. You feel your wounds begin to close.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. 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.

They may choose to Resist the Effect and not make the roll. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Charisma + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
