The user throws a psychic rose either forwards, or towards an ally, projecting a telekinetic barrier between themselves and an attack. These roses are created out of Danny's psychic energies, and as such can't be held or interacted with until this effect is activated. The barrier is light pink, translucent and completely encompasses the target.
Telekinetic barriers work by using psychic waves that naturally occur in living beings, and condenses those into a psychical construct. This can potentially be done with other kinds of constructs, but barriers are the simplest of forms to create due to their simplistic design within the mind.
Spend an Action or Reaction and use up this Psychic Rose. Select a Animate target within 20 feet. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
If you succeed, you create a barrier around your target, which absorbs the next Outcome +4 Damage. Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of 4. Their Armor applies in full. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You 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.
An airy puff pastry filled with cream that ignores all allergies. It's so large you have to take some time to eat the whole thing, but it's so good that you don't regret it, and it won't make you feel heavy after. Plus it heal ya wounds boss.
It comes in a box that reads "Jann Melmouth, Freelance Pastry Chef". The box also has Jann's contact info on the inside, under where the paper box liner sits.
Use up this pastry and spend 1 minute. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, penalty does not apply.
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.
When the Red Twitching Larvae is consumed, it writhes and pulses as it dissolves in your mouth, staining your teeth and tongue a deep, blood-red. Your skin begins to swell and ripple unnaturally, as if countless insects are crawling just beneath the surface. Within moments, flesh sloughs off in wet, pulsing chunks, unraveling like decaying threads. Swarms of fat, glistening blood flies spill from every opening — eyes, mouth, pores — until your body collapses entirely into a buzzing, writhing cloud.
The swarm itself drifts and writhes like any mass of insects, though an astute observer might notice a disquieting coordination to its movements. The flies hover unnaturally close together, their collective hum almost rhythmic, like a pulse. Despite the grotesque spectacle, there is no immediate indication that the swarm is anything more than a natural occurrence — unless, of course, someone witnessed the gruesome transformation.
The larvae itself is a slick, crimson thing that pulses with an internal glow, unmistakably unnatural. Even before activation, it twitches and squirms of its own accord, as if eager to be consumed.
Use up this Red Twitching Larvae and spend an Action.
You transform into a swarm of blood flies for the next minute. You may end the effect early and return to your normal form at will. Your structure must remain relatively contiguous. It is not necessarily obvious that your transformed state is an unusual phenomena or that it is acting with singular purpose.
While in this form, you can squeeze through any gap that is not air-tight, though this may take more than one Action at GMs discretion.
Damage from standard attacks is halved, but Damage from AOE effects is increased by 1. You may suffer Damage from wind and powerful gusts at GM’s discretion. You may spend an Action to reduce one of your Injuries’ Severity by 2, as long as you obtained the Injury while transformed and the separated pieces could reasonably be rejoined.
You cannot communicate, use equipment, or use Gifts while transformed. Your equipment does not transform with you beyond basic body coverings. Carrying capacity is unaffected.
While transformed, you can make an unarmed attack using Body as your attack roll. The target may contest by dodging or Defending. This attack deals +2 damage.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see your body slowly decomopose into a swarm of fat blood flies.
While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.
After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.
Leon's powers have not all come back exactly as they should, but Leon has made friends in many places, and with their help, he can cover for what remains missing. This particular blessing comes courtesy of the Kamaitachi, the sickle ferret. A friendly (to Leon at least) wind spirit who commands the cutting wind. A spirit rumored to command winds that can decapitate people. Though despite the gnarly rumors one can often see little ferrets running alongside him as he rides these winds, Leon smiling as he flies in the midst of them, laughing as he tells them a joke or two to pass the time though the fickle spirits do tend to be rather demanding and won't release Leon until they've been suitably entertained.
Use up this ________ (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7) and spend an Action. This Effect remains active for two hours.

Discovering technology from a fallen satellite, Oz was able to create a tonic utilizing various chemicals that were irradiated with Gamma rays to cure any disease or poison. This concoction appears as a green liquid in a small plastic bottle labeled "Oz's Transmation Fluid" System must be running when used.
Use up this Transmition Fluid and spend 1 minute.
You may cure any Non-Alien diseases, toxins, or poisons afflicting yourself so long as you have fully diagnosed or understood it. You may cure diseases or poisons even if they are not treatable through modern medicine. During treatment, the malady you are treating does not progress or cause additional Damage or other effects.
You may treat Alien maladies and curses. If there is some method to cure them, you learn what it is. If the malady does not provide its own means of curing it, it is cured.
After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.
The mad scientist produces thorium cores that can be used to upgrade tools and other devices. The core supercharges the item, increasing its quality and rendering it indestructible for a period. However, once the core runs dry, the object is rendered less useful than it was before. The core crackles with blue electricity while active.
Spend 1 Action and use up this glowing blue disk. Select a non-Alien Device within arm's reach. Cannot be used to improve Armor.
Lasts the next two hours. Your target receives 2 extra dice to all actions taken for its intended use. Attacking with an upgraded weapon grants +2 Weapon Damage instead of additional dice. While it is upgraded, the item cannot be destroyed.
After the Effect ends, any upgraded targets suffer a -2 dice penalty until they are either repaired or upgraded again.
The Future Soldier learned to create foam grenades in their own time period, and they still can, kinda. They look like glowing orange capsules with a rugged rubberized grip. When thrown, they burst into a splash of expanding neon orange foam. The foam hardens in seconds, severely hampering the movement of anyone unlucky enough to have been splashed. Those affected may use their hands or weapons to hack away at the foam and free themselves.
Occasionally, the fuses on these bootleg grenades fails, and they go off immediately.
Spend an Action and use up this small metallic grenade with pin (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7). Make a thrown Attack at a Location within normal Attack range. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you are hit as it activates immediately at your present location. The target may roll to dodge or Defend, as normal for thrown Attacks. The Attack itself does not deal any Damage beyond the Effect.
If you succeed, all affected targets will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They can still move their arms and use Effects, but are reduced to ¼ of their movement speed.
The binding around a target must be destroyed in order for them to break free. Breaking the binding requires a total amount of Damage equal to twice the original Contested Outcome. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly.
The mutant now occasionally lays large, orange-speckled eggs. These Eggs do not hatch nor spoil. If cracked and applied to a chronic injury such as a missing limb, the scar heals completely within the hour. However, any area healed by the egg will forever carry an inhuman appearance as testament to the bizarre method of treatment.
Spend a minute and use up this unusually large egg (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7). Select a Living target within arm's reach. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scar heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.
Healing a Battle Scar in this way leaves behind an inhuman attribute such as fur, scales, or feathers on the target which cannot be healed.
The hacker is capable of crafting bottles of nanites. When poured on a broken object, the nanites go to work restoring it to a functioning state. The goop shimmers and crawls, sparking with blue electricity as it reforms broken parts.
Spend 10 Rounds and use up this a bottle of metallic fluid. Select a Object within arm's reach that is no larger than an SUV. Cannot be used on Alien technology. More than half the target object must be present in order to begin repairs. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
If you succeed, your target is repaired back to a functional state. If you fail, you spend the full time working before realizing you cannot repair the target.
