"Jail"breaking everything can be unlocked! EVERYTHING

1
The power to lock, unlock, or open things.
Used by Phantom (Gustav) Aria, Created by GreenAppll.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. You must actively and obviously be using Playing Cards.)

With his cards, Phantom fans out his card, winks at the camera, then with a flick of his wrist, the card changes its image into what appears to be a key, then with a quick swipe, the object/device undo's itself.

Spend an Action. Select a Non-Alien door, container, knot, or lock within arm's reach. You must actively and obviously use Playing Cards to activate this Effect.

You may lock, unlock, and/or open your target.

  • Operating some locking mechanisms through this Effect may have a secondary effect, such as a turn-key ignition on an older or cheaper car causing it to start or stop. Note that the locking mechanism itself must satisfy the standard targeting requirements (including line of sight), not just the vehicle.
  • Any mechanism that requires a key, keycard, key fob, or combination may be considered locked, at the GM's discretion. This Effect may be used on doors and containers secured with control panels or other electronic locks, but not computer security systems at large.
  • 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.

Will's perception of his gift is different to that of observers, once he wants to open a lock he simply reaches his arm in and opens it. The keyhole appears to expand to fit his arm, and he believes that this is completely normal. This is done instinctually, as if it were as natural as turning a doorknob.
