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 by using your props, but it is a basic action instead of a trigger action, and you cannot move while using this action - tough you can still move later on. Out of action you can use props to focus in 5 minutes, but cannot move around during that time.
Using props is pretty obvious, and stunts can be used to make you lose your props and thus the focus.
