| Templates for Action |
- Main article: Powers (Action)
Animate Object
Basic Action
Animate an object you can see up to Create meters away and weighting no more than Mind kilos. The object becomes an Unnamed Character with the object's Body and Toughness and a score equal to your Mind in all other attributes. It uses your skills. It takes no actions on its own, you must use a Basic Action in order to give the animated item a Basic Action. It otherwise works as if you were holding the object. If the object takes a Hit the animating force is defeated and the effect ends. If the object is attended, it takes a Create roll against the holders Dodge to animate it. On a success the holder of the object must either let go of it or loose three shots which makes the animation fail; on an Outcome matching its Reflexes it suffers both results.
Elixir
Limit Break
You prepare an elixir imbuing the drinker with any one power whose Form you know. You do not need to know the specific power.
Anyone can drink such an elixir to gain a single use of the power. Actually using the power takes its normal action type. Using the elixir itself takes no extra time, it is a part of the use of the power. If the power affects only the drinker, he can continue to use it up for the current scene (or as long as it makes sense) If the power is a Limit Break that affects only the drinker, he need not be Focused to use the elixir, but can only use it once.
You can only use this power once per session. At the end of a session, you can choose to stop powering any of your elixirs still in existence. If you don't, you can't replace that elixir this session, the existing elixir counts as the once per session use. An elixir you have stopped powering ends unless it has become a part of another creature's Gadget Pool or similar ability.
This power can be taken several times; each time lets you prepare one additional elixir each session.
This is a meta-power that affects other powers. In some campaign worlds there is a strong Origin Divide among different origins. Check with your GM regarding your campaign. Origins that are opposed cannot cannot be modified by meta-powers; it is as if powers from the opposing origin was actually a schtick rather than a power.
Extend Duration
Limit Break
You can extend the duration of any one lasting power that is already in effect to last a whole session. Does not apply to stances nor to instant effects with no duration. The power can still be dispelled or end in some other way that does not involve its duration running out.
Homunculus
Focus
You have a companion, a Golem Henchman Extra with 2/3 of your points who looks out for your interest and will accompany you on adventures. Most homunculi appear as small humanoids; fey, angels, or devils. This is not an absolute rule; homunculi can have any appearance.
Your homunculus is not entirely a separate creature; it is formed out of your magical essence. This means that the two of you are always in telepathic contact. Up to this point the power is Inherent. You can re-absorb this essence when touching the homunculus to Focus. This destroys the homonoculus. At the beginning of each session, your homunculus re-forms beside you or in a spot you assigned it to guard, regardless of where it were earlier, even if it was dead or at the other end of the universe.
Runetrap
Limit Break
You write a line of script or runes on an object and select a Finisher you can use. This writing is obvious but innocuous; it can be hidden as decoration or as a part of a written text. You also set a simple condition when the runes will trigger, such as "when it changes ownership for the third time", "when it comes into the possession of Fred Fod", or "on April 1st". A runetrapped object must be accepted or picked up; you cannot plant it on somebody, but anyone holding or using the object is considered to have accepted it. When triggered, the finisher affects the current holder or owner of the object. If no-one has accepted the object, the creator is considered the owner.
The runetrap is a Trap and can be recognized for what it is with an Examination. If it is recognized, it can be disarmed or dispelled normally. If the object is destroyed the trap triggers.
Spell Preparation
Limit Break
Use Spell Preparation to prepare any one power you do not know, but whose Form you do know. After using this power you temporarily know and can now use the prepared power. Once you use the power, Spell preparation ends at the end of the next round. If the power is a stance or inherent, you can continue to keep it up for one scene (or as long as it makes sense). If you prepare a new power, you lose the previously prepared one. This power can be taken several times; each time lets you prepare one additional power or one additional use for a power you have already prepared. Unless there is a plot reason not to, you can start each session with a power already prepared for use.
This is a meta-power that affects other powers. In some campaign worlds there is a strong Origin Divide among different origins. Check with your GM regarding your campaign. Origins that are opposed cannot cannot be modified by meta-powers; it is as if powers from the opposing origin was actually a schtick rather than a power.
Spirit Prison
Limit Break
This power creates an object that can act as a prison for a supernatural creature (Fairies, Epitomes, Gifted, and Strange), making the creature harmless. In order to put a creature into a spirit prison, you use a Summon power and order it into the prison. Creatures can also be fooled or intimidated into a Spirit Prison. The creature does not need to breathe, eat, or drink while imprisoned, nor does it age. It can use its powers, but only on voluntary recipients who touch the prison; an unwilling target is automatically immune. It cannot use powers on itself. It is considered to be on a different plane for the purpose of Summon powers, but can only be summoned by a creature touching the Spirit Prison. A Spirit Prison is an object with mystic symbols, selected for small size and durability. Metal tokens are common. Powerful creatures require larger or more distinguished objects. Objects used as prisons often have a sealed opening or other mechanism that can be opened and sealed again to allow temporarily undoing the prison to speak to the spirit, but this practice is not universal. Spirit Prison can be broken by destroying the object, summoning the creature and then ordering it to be free, or broken like a Curse.
