A new feature among Sapphire Sundown units currently being rolled out, the Potential Energy Matrix is a series of wires, power cells, and motion collectors that are installed inside each unit’s chassis. The system is accessible from the unit’s back via a small panel, and makes all units entirely self-sufficient for all energy needs.
Units are still required to power down in order to give the Matrix time to properly recharge.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You no longer require any food, water, or air in order to survive. Any roll to resist an Effect dependent on any affected requirement automatically succeeds.
The damage of the protective spell reaches a peak, with all targets intending to harm Cassie suffering a gruesome fate.
This Effect activates whenever you deal at least a Severity - 3 Injury to a target with your Inversion Touch or a target takes 3 or more Mind Damage from your Mind Breaker effect. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event. This Effect cannot be used unless anyone besides the triggering creature(s) (except you if you botch the activation roll) takes no damage from this effect. The area within 10 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Dexterity + Athletics at Difficulty 6. Targets inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total Damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).
If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 10 feet of you with Damage equal to your Outcome + 4. If you botched the activation roll, you will also take full Damage from the blast, otherwise it will not hurt you.
Anyone hit by the blast may roll Body at Difficulty 7 as a Free Action, and reduce their Damage taken by the Outcome.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the flesh of all affected targets invert.
Alice showed me how she stays hidden all the time! She's lots better at it then I am though. That's why no one can see her! She told me a bunch mumbo jumbo about how it works, but I didn't understand anything. But I got it to work!
She said it had something to do with bending light, but everything is the wrong color when I'm doing it. She had me practice with my crossbow as a sort of focus.
She says if I practice enough I'll be as good as her!
You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using Crossbow to gain the benefits of this Effect.
You and everything you are carrying is obscured in one of the following manners. You may Spend an Action to change the way in which you're concealed.
While this Effect is active, any Effect that would obscure you or your equipment specifically from other, additional senses fails automatically.
If someone discovers you, this Effect will not help you hide from them for the next minute. Activating a targeted or obvious Effect, attacking, or being Injured ends the Effect. When the Effect ends, it is disabled for one minute.

Sosna and the other party enter a shared oath in which they are to gamble (for some kind of winnings determined by both parties). The game and the consequences of the game are enforced by Sosna’s magic.
This Effect cannot be used unless the oath can only be related to a gamble between Sosna and the other party..
You may make an oath with a physically-present, Sapient target. Communicate the oath's terms to the target, including the requirements and penalties for each participant. If all agree to the terms, you must Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and all participants must shake hands to seal the deal.
Record the oath as a Condition. If a party breaks the oath, the Condition ends and they suffer the oath's penalty.
When crafting your oath, you may incorporate any of the following penalties:
The target cannot be compelled to agree via a direct threat of violence, another Effect, or another oath. If you would like to use clever wording to mislead the target, you must succeed a contested Intellect + (Culture or Influence) roll.
When crafting your oath, you may opt to enforce compliance. If you do, any participant that wishes to break the deal must take 3 Mind damage and succeed a Self-Control roll. They may attempt once per day.
Whenever a participant breaks the oath, you are immediately made aware and may even witness the act as if standing nearby.
It is obvious to your target that the oath you are proposing will be supernaturally enforced.
All oaths you create last 12 hours maximum
