Legacy Power: Papers, Please

Raphael pulls out his wallet and presents the paper to the officer. The officer lets him through seeing an FBI badge.

A 1 Gift Forgery Power used by Raphael Alessi, created by Dragonlizard.

Description

Raphael is an assassin, and being an assassin sometimes means getting into situations a normal person cannot go. Raphael has manifested a power that provided him with a wallet with waterproof cardstock inside. Testing indicated that using the wallet and cardstock together allows Raphael to create any sort of documentation needed in a matter of seconds. The paper never changes, but the person viewing it sees exactly what Raphael introduced or described it as, whether that be an FBI badge or an elevator work order.

System

Exert your Mind and spend a minute disguising an Object within Arm's Reach. Its new appearance can be anything you like, but it must be of a similar size and shape, relatively generic (no specific, original works of art or signed letters), and it must fit within the theme of Documents. The forgery lasts one hour. May have 1 running concurrently. Can be ended early. This Power is not obviously supernatural.

The disguise holds up to almost all non-supernatural scrutiny (exceptions may be made for scientific examination or being held by someone who is a master of items of that type). Supernatural investigation abilities and Powers can detect the object for what it is.

Forgery does not alter the composition, functionality, or weight of any item.
