This is a Method for using Powers in Action. Methods are a part of Traditions and define how Powers are used in each campaign.

Plausibility

Your powers work by controlling chance, manifesting as extreme luck or skillful use of available tools or other natural, plausible plot elements. No obvious supernatural agency is involved.

Limitation

Inherent

You cannot cause effects that clearly and observably violate the laws of nature in the setting or cause an effect outside of local technology. Having a technological gadget at hand can often enhance plausibility.

Focus Condition

Trigger Action (Focus)

You can focus at any time when you manage to cause a power effect that seem entirely reasonable and commonplace but still has a distinct and concrete effect on reality. Subtle effects do not count; only actions that other notice but assume to be natural events qualify. If you come up with a use of a Limit Break that would satisfy this condition, you can use it even if you are not focused.
