This is a Method for using Powers in Action. Methods are a part of Traditions and define how Powers are used in each campaign.
Props
You use tools in your power; a variety of gizmos, diagrams, books, wands, sigils, dried insects, eye of newt, incense and so on. Depending on your tradition, your props have a theme: the props of a technomage are distinctly different than those of an alchemist.
Limitation
You cannot use your power without your props. You need to resupply or build new props during downtime; this is not generally a hassle, but can make for nice cut scenes. In an emergency, you can usually whip up the prop for a specific power with a little scrounging and a few minutes of work.
Focus Condition
Basic Action
You can focus as the first action of any round by using your props, but it is a basic action instead of a trigger action. You are focusing on your props and pretty much oblivious to the rest of the world; use your Mind instead of your Spot to notice things.
Out of action, you can focus in 5 minutes instead of 15 minutes, and suffer the Spot penalty the entire time.
