Lewis performs an eldritch ritual, sacrificing a portion of his flesh which turns pitch black and melts into the selected item, augmenting its power while causing those who see and hold the item to feel a sense of dread as if just being near this object will lead them into insanity.
The whispers of the staff of glorious evolution have become stronger, filling his mind with even more cursed knowledge as he starts to sacrifice his own body to augment things for the purpose of a true glorious evolution.
Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend an hour. Select a non-Alien Device within arm's reach. Can be used on Armor.
Lasts the next day. 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. Upgraded Armor is shredded by half the normal amount. If it is a piece of Armor, it instead receives half that amount as bonus armor rating, rounded up. If an upgraded shield and armor are both worn, the upgrade bonus does not stack with itself.
Upgraded weapons count as any material your opponent might be particularly vulnerable to. Upgraded Armor cannot be circumvented by called shots. Upgraded Devices do not run out of fuel or energy.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see part of the user’s flesh morph’s into the enhanced item causing it to gain fleshy black tendrils that pulsate like a beating heart.
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.
If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

Moonstone shimmers with blue-white light, and her body is covered in transparent stone in her image.
This image moves and punches and kicks to block attacks on moonstone separate from her.
The power that flows through moonstone becomes a barrier with her shape.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. This Effect cannot be used unless you are in the form of Moonstone. Roll Dexterity + Melee at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome +6 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
The barrier will fall after two hours, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.
