Kanni angles herself and directs a large amount of energy from her internal core to her hoof like lower limbs, before letting it silently explode out the bottom of them in a flash of purple light (or yellow, depending on source and mind level), launching herself in the direction she desires.

You jump to the chosen location. If jumping blind or landing precariously, must roll Dexterity + Athletics to land safely. You will never take fall Damage from successfully landing a jump made with this Effect.

Pulling a piece of graph paper whether small or big, the paper would begin to inscribe itself the blueprints of the supposed object onto the paper rather quickly as it is coming from the calculations, geometry, and knowledge of Mason as it is written down straight from his mind. It is a tiring process but when complete the paper would begin to fold itself into that object and will then slowly change, solidify, and morph into the object itself with nothing resembling, feeling or sounding anything like paper but only what the object is.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend 1 minute. You must use up A Page of Graphing paper in order to activate this Effect.
Choose an Object which could fit inside a regular backpack (up to 27 liters). It must be Non-Alien and generic. You cannot create explosives. You cannot create firearms.
Roll Intellect + Crafts to fabricate up to 5 copies of your chosen Object. The Difficulty is assigned by the GM and depends on the specificity of your chosen Object. The created item lasts 2 hours.

You learn all the following information about your target:
You cannot investigate the same target more than once per day.
You see a small spiderlike drone about the size of a large dinner plate. It has eight legs and it can scurry along the ground or up a wall quite fast. Though obviously a techno-drone Tom has made some effort to both make them look more realistic and to camouflage them from prying eyes. As a result they look a bit like large tarantulas, with brown fur and four pairs of alert, shining black eyes. They blend in shockingly well to most forest or urban environments and are difficult to spot even when moving and are almost undetectable when sitting still.
Though virtually silent when moving slowly at higher speeds they make a quiet hum as they leap from one rock to the next, intent of their mission.
Tom the Tinkerer is a electronics and robotics genius and nowhere is that more evident than when you see his latest set of robotic helpers, a set of three robotic spider-bots he can carry in a backpack and deploy where they are needed. The spider-bots have artificial intelligence and in "autonomous mode" can obey simple spoken commands somewhat like a well-trained dog. They can also be controlled in "direct mode" through a small X-box-like controller Tom carries with him (though he can only control one drone at a time this way). The controller sports both a video screen and headphones, so Tom can both see and hear what the drone see and hears. The drones are armed with hypodermic-like fangs that can inject a variety of substances, including poison, sleep or paralysis drugs. These fangs can be either retained or launched as darts; each spider bot has eight reloads of its "fangs".
Each spider contains 100 feet of strong paracord-like webbing that can be anchored and used much like a spider uses its webs, though the paracord itself is not sticky. It can, however, be used to trip or entangle the unwary or act as a grappling hook if Tom needs to get down or over some obstacle.
When activated the spiders consume rechargeable batteries. How long the batteries last depends on how much movement the spider is doing; an hour or two in direct combat, or up to forty-eight hours in non-moving "sentry mode".
Tom is always tinkering with the bots, adding or removing features in his search for perfection.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must use up Batteries in order to activate this Effect.
Summon up to 3 Sapient Spider bots at your location. They last for two hours or until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. You may have at most 3 minions active at a time.
The mystic can meld their aura with another, allowing them to superimpose their being, physical and mental, into a target. Observers witness the mystic fading and entering their target's body as wisps of smoke, leaving no trace of their own body behind.
While inside, they can control their target's actions. Affected targets have no memory of the experience.
Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend an Action. Select a Living or Sapient target within arm's reach. Roll Intellect + Occult at Difficulty 6. The target may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you possess your target for the Contested Outcome in minutes. The target has no control over their body or actions, and they are functionally unconscious through the entire possession, retaining no memory other than any Traumas they might obtain.
You do not leave your original body behind when you possess a target. When a possession ends, your original body will reappear at the host body’s same location. You may spend an Action to end the possession early.
Stats: During the possession, you use the host body’s Body rating, but your own Mind rating. Any rolls you make use the host body’s Brawn, Dexterity, and Perception but your own Charisma, Intellect, and Abilities. You gain the effects of any physical Assets and Liabilities they have. You cannot read the target’s mind or memories.
Gifts: You have access to and can use any of your own Powers which are intrinsic to your biology or physical body. You cannot access any Powers or other supernatural effects which the target has, unless they are intrinsic to the target’s biology or physical body.
Death: If the host body is killed or destroyed while you are still possessing it, you will die along with it.
Eviction: If you attempt to force your host to take actions which would violate one of their Limits or their instinct for self-preservation, they may resist by rolling Mind. If their Outcome is higher than or equal to the contested Outcome, the possession ends and you are evicted from their body.
If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.
The vampire sucks a copious amount of blood from a human and replenishes their own cursed flesh.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. This Effect cannot be used unless you drink blood directly from a human until it injures them. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Occult 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.
If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on yourself.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see you drink blood directly from the vein.
The Necromancer may exert their will on any undead creature, forcing it to act as they desire. The Necromancer's eyes turn completely black, and they speak a command to the creature in the language of the dead.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Non-Alien, Non-Sapient, Animate target within 20 feet. This Effect cannot be used unless the target is undead.
For the next day, you may issue specific commands to your target which they will be compelled to follow.
Your commands must be relatively simple and within the target’s intellectual grasp. You cannot make them obviously endanger themselves or violate their instinct for self-preservation. The effects of the command will fade after a day has passed.
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.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
You may move easily and without a roll in any of the following situations. Lasts 2 hours.
The aristocrat knows a ritual that allows them to rent the best version of any item. They set $10,000 worth of cash on fire and place the item to be upgraded in the fire as well. While in the flame, the item morphs into a high-end version of itself. After a while, it reverts.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a non-Alien Device within arm's reach. You must use up $10,000 cash (or equivalent) in order to activate this Effect. Cannot be used to improve Armor.
