You learn the following information about the area:

• You learn where exactly creatures and people live within the area, and what sorts of creatures they are.
• You can locate the source of any Alien energy or the presence of any Alien effects on the area. Specific information about the function of these effects beyond their general type is not forthcoming.
• You learn causes of death
• You learn how heavily trafficked the area is, what sorts of Animate beings have moved through the area and when.

You cannot investigate the same area more than once per day.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location which is at most 125 feet away horizontally or 25 feet away vertically. This Effect cannot be used unless there are at least 2 shadows (excluding your own) within range. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you take a sev 2 and are stuck in the shadows for next 4 rounds (in combat) or 5 minutes (not in combat).

You jump to the chosen location. If the landing is precarious, the GM may call for a roll to land safely. You will never take fall damage from successfully landing a jump made with this Effect.

Instead of physically passing through the air, you are teleported directly to your destination. Does not allow you to go through walls, cages, or grapples.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. Select a Non-Alien Creature target within 300 feet.

You possess your target and have control over their actions for the next hour. 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: Any Actions you take will use the possessed creature’s Brawn, Dexterity, and Perception, but use your own Charisma, Intellect, and Abilities.

Gifts: You do not have access to any Gifts while you are possessing your target.

Death: If the host suffers an Injury, or is destroyed or incapacitated, you are evicted back into your own body.

Eviction: You cannot force your host to take Actions which would violate their instinct for self-preservation (which includes engaging in Combat for any purpose other than self-defense or natural hunting); any attempt to do so will sever the connection and send you back into your own body. If you are forced out of the target's body prematurely, you must make a Trauma roll.

You may only use this Effect once per day.
