Arcanowave Schticks

Reinforcer

This is the schtick by the same name from Feng Shui, p 145.

This device is a three-foot skeletal hypodermic needle filled with foul-smelling, green ectoplasm. The user must have the Reinforcer connected to an AI/O port when injecting the needle.

The user inserts the needle and injects the ectoplasm into any intelligent subject and makes an Arcanowave Device check with the subject's Magic rating, as it's Difficulty. The subject then grows a temporally hard, insect-like shell which provides 3 points of armor protection. The armor lasts for a number of Sequences equal to the Outcome of the Arcanowave Device check. During the Sequences the affects him, the target accumulates Mutation points, even if not otherwise using Arcanowave.
