Tempus Terit The greatest weapon is implacable time itself.

3
The power to grievously injure a target.
Used by Alan Samuel Cole, Created by EvilRicktator.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are attacking the target. You must actively and obviously be using a timepiece (wristwatch, pocketwatch or similar).)

Cole passes his hand over the face of a timepiece, gathering golden energy from it around his hand that forms into golden arcane symbols, before launching forward red-tinted wavering threads of energy that can pass through a single target or pierce out in a line through several. This is not only damaging physically, but the overwhelming sensory input is agonizing. He can use this offensively to strike at threats or defensively, withering the substance or energy of an incoming attack by dragging it through years on its way to him

After his exposure to the timeline, Alan now can see the target's timeline clearly and has embraced the greater mysteries of the arcane arts to.manipulate it. He still pulls years of collected pain through a target, but now with arcane awareness.

Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action. Select a target within 50 feet. You must actively and obviously use a timepiece (wristwatch, pocketwatch or similar) to activate this Effect. Roll Perception + Occult Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling to Dodge or Defend as a Reaction, Difficulty 6.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 2.

You may use this Effect to Defend against any melee, projectile, or firearm Attacks within range or Clash against any Attack targeted at you. Using it to Defend deals no Damage but does not cost Exertion.

You may choose to have this Effect Damage all targets in a perfectly straight line up to its maximum range.

The target suffers a -3 dice penalty for the next hour or until the Injury is healed. This dice penalty does not stack multiple times on the same target.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of Effect. There must be no substantial obstructions between you and your target.
