Legacy Power: Will of the departed

The green, vital, energy of one person is ripped from one into the other, a terrifying appearance for an ability with mostly benevolent uses.

A 4 Gift Energy Transfer Power used by Gideon Lockhart, created by leonvanderblight.

Description

Using the soul shards of people who have died, he uses the energy that once tethered them to the world to draw energy out of the target and into him. Using the orb of soul shards he can feed the souls to ensure that they do not drink too deeply from their target and thus that the target is not too traumatized. Though it can be used without it, he does not yet have the mastery to do so.

System

Exert your Mind, choose a consenting Sapient target within arms reach, and spend one minute activating this Power. You may transfer a single Injury from them to yourself, or from yourself to them. Battle Scars caused by that Injury are transferred as well. Both yourself and the target can take no other Actions until the transfer is complete, or it will fail. Cannot be used again for 1 Day.

Enhancements

  • Forced Exchange (You may use this on an unwilling target by making a contested roll. You determine the roll you make when you take this enhancement, Difficulty 6. They will roll either Body or Mind to resist, depending on what you are attempting to transfer.)

    • Activation Roll - Intelligence + Occult

  • Cult Leader (This Power's cooldown is tracked per-target. Meaning you must wait the cooldown to use this Power on the same person again, but you may use it on others in the meantime.)
  • Quick (Activating this Effect only takes 1 Action.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Focus: Orb of soul shards. Collected from patients as they die to provide fodder for the dead souls that facilitate this ability.

Parameters

Cooldown: 0 ( 1 Day )
