Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action or Reaction. Roll Intellect + Technology at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next (Outcome +4) Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. This Artifact may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.
Strands of golden light coalesce from the foreheads of those close to you witnessing the effect. The strands form or deconstruct the object if desire from thin air in an instant, severing the ties from the minds of others. At the final moment of the object's (dis)appearance, those watching will see you in a flash of memory or fear as the cause or effect of their negative experience. You may replace a murderer at the scene of someone's death, or perhaps appear as the victim of an unfortunate accident they blame themselves for. You do not see these flashes, but the effects of your gift are obvious.
The mind is complex and intricate. On the physical level, it is a marvel of biology. You have learned to tap into the untapped potential within your own mind and that of those around you. Reaching into the metaphysical world is as simple as pulling a few strings. The more you have, the easier it gets.
You can use this to your advantage. By focusing deeply, you can manifest and demanifest the world around you. Whilst entirely held within your own mind, a bit of help from others never hurts.
You can't help it really. Reaching that deeply within a mind does terrible things to dredge up trauma. When the connection is severed, they see where you went - where you had to dig. They may never forgive you. They may never accept you. You are not enough. You are a monster.
Spend a Quick Action.
You may withdraw an item from your stash, or add an item that is within arm’s reach to your stash. You may only stash targets which are in your possession, grappled, or otherwise controlled by you.
You may store small firearms in your stash, each no larger than something which could fit inside a ziploc snack bag (1 liter), and you may store up to 15 of them at a time.
You may choose to equip any equipment you withdraw at no additional cost.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see their darkest fears or worst memories flash before their eyes. You are present in these visions as either a cause or effect of said negative experience.

You automatically detect all Abominations (Alien Beings) and Sinners (Catholic Doctrine) within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.
If no Abominations (Alien Beings) or Sinners (Catholic Doctrine) targets are within 300 feet of you, and then one enters range, you automatically detect it, even if this Effect is not active.
You learn basic information about why each detected being is being detected. For example, if you detect Criminals, you may learn how many crimes they have committed and what type.
You receive a vision of their faces. Glimpsing what their sins were, or what an abomination may be capable of for each being you detect.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.

If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next Outcome + 2 Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius.

The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. This Artifact may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

The "Reaper" Assault Helmet is the signature piece of the Future Soldier's arsenal. It has a sleek, design and is made of a mysterious matte-metallic alloy. The wearer's face is exposed normally, but when activated, a blue holographic visor flickers to life in front of the eyes. This HUD contains information about the soldier's ammunition and shield status, but more significantly can detect enemy combatants. Anyone nearby who is holding a weapon is painted with a red dot that follows them in real time. This allows the Future Soldier to fire at painted targets in the dark, detect ambushes lurking around corners, and grants an overall tactical advantage.
Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action.
You automatically detect all people wielding weapons within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.
If the Selkie's seal skin is worn close to the body, any contact with salt water will cause them to transform into a seal. While transformed, they have full access to their normal suite of Powers.
This Effect activates whenever you are submerged in salt water. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event.
You transform into small for two hours or until you choose to end the Effect. See the Extended System text for stats.
While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (including Artifacts and Consumables), and you cannot use your Active, Targeted, or Trap Powers. However, you can use your Passive Powers. Any equipment you are wearing transforms with you.
Injuries and Wound Level are carried over between forms. However, transforming can never kill you; you merely remain Incapacitated until your Injuries are sufficiently healed.
By focusing, the Thief may shroud their hands in shadowy tendrils that seek nearby objects like static-charged hairs. They cast themselves across any surface the Thief touches, acting as anchors that allow the Thief to scale even the sheerest walls.

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).
