Powers (FiD)

Powers turn Blades in the Dark-style games into power fantasy.

Introducing Powers

Rather than the fantastical being rare and poorly understood, adding powers to your gives characters entirely new abilities they can use. Introducing these into a game changes the game world, making it more fantastical. Powers consist of two elements - a playbook, and forms.

Power Playbooks

Playbooks are the frames for acquiring powers. The playbooks are the power traditions of your world, roles such as wizard, sorcerer, saint, mutant, or technophile. Each playbook gives you access to certain powers, which are chosen in the same manner as special abilities. This is in addition to all the normal features of a playbook.

Finally, each tradition gives you a trauma condition, chosen from a list of conditions available to that playbook. This means you can't survive as much new trauma as characters who have not meddled with the powers. The actual trauma condition generally affects how you use powers, imposing conditions you must fulfil.

You cannot pick special abilities from a power playbook unless you start with that playbook. It is possible to incorporate a power playbook into your character's pool of available abilities by selecting this as a special ability. Doing so gives you access to the special abilities and items of the power playbook, but also forces you to select a trauma condition. You can even gain access to multiple power playbooks this way, giving you a wider range of powers at the price of more trauma conditions and thus more restrictions on the use of all of your powers.

Powers

Powers are what actually gives you exceptional abilities. A power playbook doesn't give you any abilities unless you select a power from that playbook's special abilities. Once you select a power, you gain abilities appropriate to the power. So if you select the electricity pool, you can shoot lightning, power electric engines, cause shortcuts, summon electric creatures, and so forth. In many cases, powers work as equipment does, empowering your normal actions.

You use your normal actions to activate powers, but there is often an associated cost. Some powers are always available. Some powers work as equipment. Unlike most equipment, you have to cross of an item each time you make a roll for the power, those components are consumed when used. Some powers require you to push each time you use the power. You gain the advantages of a push in addition to activating the power. Some powers are all-consuming. You spend all your remaining willpower to activate the power, causing you to go into trauma. These effects are over-the-top and often has extensive collateral damage.

Unlike normal actions, which are flexible, powers are more specific. If you want to make a ranged attack using your power, that is done with Hunt action (unless the power description says otherwise), you cannot fudge this with another action as you normally can.

There is a standard list of effects that most powers have. These effects vary in appearance and detail depending on the exact power you use, but the general effect is the same. With Hunt you can make a ranged attack with most powers, if you do it with electricity this is a jolt of lightning, if you do it with fire it is a bolt of fire, if you do it with mind it is a mental blast, and if you do it with plant you fling poisonous thorns. All are ranged attacks, but depending on circumstances some are likely to be more or less effective. In the description of each power, only the differences from this standard list will be noted. For example, hunt used with equipment is a ranged attack. For most powers this works in a similar way. In the description of most powers, there will be no special note on use with hunt. For the mind power hunt works differently in that it attacks the mind rather than the body, requiring special rules.

Combining Powers If you know several powers, you can affect each of them with a single action, as long as this makes sense. So if you know both the fire and plant powers, you can dismiss, infiltrate, or infiltrate both at once, but using barrage or research using both powers at once makes less sense.

Common Power Effects Table

Action	Free	Equipment	Push	Trauma
Attune	Perceive You are able to perceive creatures and power effects based on this power. This is easy if you can see them, harder if they are hidden or invisible. The range depends on distractions; in an empty environment it can be kilometers, in a busy city it is perhaps as much as a city block.	Dismiss You can force a creature based on this power that is native to another plane of existence to return to that plane, or suppress the operation of the power in a creature or object.	Summon You can call a creature into this plane to serve you. This servant is generally unwilling. It will obey one command from you, more commands require this ability to be used again or other means to control the creature. You can also create a portal that allows creatures on this plane to access the plane of your power for a limited time.	Gate You tear down the barrier between this world and the dimension of your power. This can banish all creatures in a large area, or allow a swarm of creatures to rampage in your world.
Command	Communicate You can communicate with creatures based on your power even if normally couldn't, allowing you to use the command actionnormally on them.	Translate You and allies can communicate with creatures based on your power.	Authority You can give commands to creatures based on your power, as if you were their superior in a group they belong to. By increasing the effect, you can give them absolute commands or extend the duration beyond the score.	Enslave You can permanently bind creatures to service. Unless affected by other powers, they will stay in one location and act according to your instructions, similar to very loyal and literal-minded goons.
Consort	Mask You can change your clothes and accessories by imbuing them with your power. This can mask your identity or create fabulous outfits.	Shapechange You assume the form of another creature that manifests your power. Add or subtract 1d to pairs of actions depending on your new shape. You can even give yourself 2d on two actions by giving up 1d on all other actions.	Transform You can shapechange (see above) a willing or helpless creatures into a form imbued by your power. This is a curse, it can be broken but it is not easy. You can easily break the effect.	Wild Hunt You can transform (see above) a large number of willing or non-sentient creatures and give them a simple instruction, typically someone for them to hunt.
Finesse	Ride If there is a mount or vehicle of the appropriate power, you can ride it. You can move and breathe in conditions manifesting your power without damage or hindrance.	Fine Local Control You can use the power as a fine and potent close-range attack, similar in effect to a fine potent dueling sword or pistol, or you can give your friends the Ride ability for the duration of a score.	Manipulate You can do fine manipulation of the power, allowing you to do small and exact manipulations at range. This allows you to open doors, trigger or hinder mechanisms, or perform minor acts of telekinesis, as long as the target is of the type appropriate to your power.	Surge Your power manifests like a storm of blades, suppressing the effect of multiple opponents and acting as a fine potent weapon. You can choose to affect multiple targets, but if you do, there is a risk of collateral damage to allies and the environment. After this burst you travel in a burst of speed to a nearby safe location if there is any.
Hunt	Track You can track and pursue based on your power, even if the target does not leave any mundane trail or clues. You can hide in areas where your power is manifest in the environment, even if the element would normally hider you or cause environmental damage.	Fine Ranged Attack You can use your power to attack, similar in effect to a fine and potent rifle.	Area attack You can use your power to attack similar to a fine and potent grenade. This allows you to fight many creatures in the same area very effectively, but there is a risk of colatteral damage.	Barrage You call down the equivalent of a fine potent artillery barrage, attacking everything and everyone in a wide area. Depending on your power, this can raze buildings and create rubble. This is usually enough to provide cover for any escape.
Prowl	Reconnaissance You can see creatures that embody your power as well as seeing through obstructions of material linked to your power. This allows you to hide in impossible places as long as the environment manifests your power, and gives advantage when sneaking on creatures hiding in such an environment.	Maneuver You can move on and through environments composed of your environment. This allows you to climb on air, swim unhindered, walk through walls of the appropriate material and so on, depending on your exact power.	Travel You can bring allies along when you use Reconnaissance and Maneuver.	Transport You and allies can move instantaneously from one location where your power is present to another. You need not all move to the same location, and you can specify a destination to arrive in the nearest suitable spot. This is regional travel, you stay within the same city or region, but it is generally sufficient to escape or enter just about any situation or location.
Skirmish	Skirmish Attack You can use the power as a close-range attack, similar in effect to a melee weapon or pistol.	Fine Skirmish Attack Same as Skirmish Attack, except the weapon is fine and potent.	Obstruction Your power creates distractions and obstructions that prevents the enemy from benefiting from numbers and otherwise works as a fine potent weapon.	Flurry Your power strikes out in all directions, attacking all enemies in a wide area. After this attack, you can rush to a nearby location.
Study	Analyze You can identify objects and creatures that manifest your power and know abilities related to your power.	Research You know the powers and abilities of something you analyze.	Hindsight You can read the past events of something you analyze. This includes previous owners and how the object has been moved around as well as significant scenes.	Omniscience You research everything in a wide area. This is easy to do around where you are, more difficult at range. You can then use hindsight on some of these targets, and have presence of mind enough to give a report to your companions before your trauma.
Survey	Detect You can sense manifestations of your power at a distance and understand their general nature. This works even when you can't see the target, but both location and information suffers.	Sensor Choose an object manifesting your power that you have detected; you can perceive as if you were at that spot while you concentrate. You cannot use your Survey action fro anything else when doing so.	Scry Choose a location or creature. You gain a sensor at the nearest suitable object, which is often close enough to perceive the target.	Omnipresence You perceive from all objects manifesting your power at once over a wide area. This is easy to do around where you are, more difficult at range. As long as you concentrate you retain this perception and can report what you see to others.
Sway	Communicate You can communicate with creatures based on your power even if normally couldn't, allowing you to use the sway action normally on them.	Translate You and allies can communicate with creatures based on your power.	Mesmerize You can post suggestions in the mind of a creature manifesting your power, which will be triggered under conditions you specify. The creature enters a trance when the situation occurs. Common suggestions are to steal something, attack someone, or ignore some event. This is a subtle power, it is hard to notice that the creatures have changed, easier once they start acting.	Inculcate You change the personality and motivations of creatures that manifest your power. This power is permanent, but blatant, creating a new follower. The target remember their past, but regard it as unimportant compared to their new motivations. It is possible to cure the target as a long-time project, but they may have to be restrained while you do so.
Tinker	Handle You can handle materials that manifest your power as if you had the appropriate tools and protective devices.	Shape You can shape materials that manifest your power as if they were of clay, and they will retain their new shape for some time even if they would normally not, such as water, sand or smoke. This is similar to a welder or cutting torch working metal in efficiency.	Create You can create objects manifesting your power out of nothing, or transform an object from one material to another as long as you know the power required for both the starting and final form. This takes a little time, but can produce very detailed results allowing the creation of rather complex tools, such as fine and potent items if they are appropriate to the power(s) used.	Fabricate This is similar to create, above, but you mass produce objects, even a set of different objects. You can quickly equip a small army or manufacture something large, such as a vehicle or building.
Wreck	Jimmy You can bend objects manifesting your power or use your power to jimmy something else. This functions similarly to tools such as crowbars, picks, and sledgehammers. When jimmying objects manifesting your power, the effect is increased, allowing you to affect hard objects like stone or metal as if they were wood. Noisy and leaves the object in place, which can make passing through slow.	Smash Similar to jimmy, but faster and greater in scope. Leaves rubble, but not much else. Can be used to attack like a fine, potent sledgehammer.	Disintegrate Similar to smash, but targets silently disappear or are reduced to a fine dust.	Obliterate Similar to disintegrate, but over a large area. This can level a city block, empty a canal system of water, raze a city wall, and similar massive destruction. You have fine control over this and can spare objects and construction as you wish.

Powers

List of available powers.

Air

Air is an elemental power that affects gasses, and to a limited extent vacuum. It does damage by buffeting and tossing opponents, which is powerful against fliers and good at distracting and delaying, but very poor at doing actual damage. Escalated air attacks can create a vacuum that does significant damage to creatures that breathe.

Attune Air elementals appear as billowing cloud-creatures or as dust devils, transparent by nature. Visible when they act but invisible while at rest. Creatures that manifest air are birds and winged and flying creatures of all kinds, including fantastic ones such as pegasi, winged horses.

Prowl The ability to hide in air is very powerful, but similar to how air elementals work; you are transparent when passive, but cause wind and mist effect when you act.

Survey You can survey to find information out of thin air, but doing so disturbs the air, creating small clouds or vortices.

Tinker The tools you can simulate are bellows and fans, while shaping air is similar to a wind tunnel. Create can make air when there is none or make air foul.

Wreck Air is not very good at wrecking with power and precision, but can jimmy or smash even very large things, such as vehicles and small houses. Disintegrating air can be done selectively, such as to destroy all oxygen in an area, or it can manipulate air pressure to become explosively high or low.

Animal

Animals are not normally summoned, but animal spirits exist with all kinds of weird powers, often reminiscent of tribal society myths.

Animal attacks create phantom animal features such as teeth, claws, antlers, or horns to attack with. They can do things like grab, tackle, or push.

Command When commanded by you, animals act as if trained to perform what you are ordering them to do,

Consort Mask allows you to take on the appearance of an animal from about half up to double your height.

Finesse Ride covers all animals and animal-powered vehicles, even if the animal is not trained as a mount. Manipulate allows you to assume control of an animals body like a string puppet. If the animal trusts you, this control is very fine indeed.

Hunt Track allows you to track by scent, similar to a well-trained tracking dog.

Prowl Reconnaissance allows you to assume the appearance of an animal, effective concealment in environments where animals are common. Maneuver allows you to assume the movement capabilities of animals, to climb on animals, move through herds or packs of animals, and even move through the bodies of animals. You could hide inside a large animal or hide a small animal inside your own body.

Survey Sensor and scry perceives through the senses of an animal, which affects how a situation appears to you. A dog's perception focuses on scent, a cat's on hearing and the ability see motion even in the dark, and so on.

Tinker You work with animal products like leather, bone, teeth, sinew, and horns. Items you work with can have small parts made of other materials, such as metal eyelets or synthetic thread.

Wreck You destroy organic materials either made of animal products, or that animals could reasonably destroy. This includes the effect of bacteria, fungi, and insects like woodworms. Slow but powerful.

Barriers

Barriers is the ability to create walls and circles of protection. A barrier is normally a wall up to five meters high and wide or a globe three meters in diameter. At higher tiers barriers become larger. If you only know this form, the barriers you make are made of either light or darkness. If you use another power together with barrier, you can imbue your barrier with that power, which can give additional effects, often to damage creatures that try to break through your barrier.

Few creatures are associated with the barrier power.

When used to attack, barrier takes the form of darts or blades that cut or pierce.

Attune You create circles and barriers of protection that ward out creatures related to powers. Perceive allows you to sense all power-infused creatures. Dismiss is changed to create barriers that power-manifesting creatures and power effects cannot pass. Summon is similar to dismiss, but also protects against dangerous effects and powers in general, not just creatures. This can be all powers, or a limited set you choose.

Command You create a barrier that affects those that come close to it or try to pass through it with an appropriate command effect.

Consort You can dress in fields of energy. With shapechange, you surround yourself with armor of force that gives +1d to Insight or Prowess resistance, transform allows the creation of such effects for others, while wild hunt can provide for a small army.

In combination with other powers you can create barriers that change those who pass through them, making such as an underwater club where every guest has a mermaid tail and the like.

Finesse Ride allows you to create a protective canopy around a personal vehicle. Fine local control can protect a coach or car, manipulate can protect a large vehicle like a ship or bus.

Hunt Track works against things protected by barriers. In many settings this is very rare.

Prowl Reconnaissance gives you the protection of a barrier when you prowl, reducing position by one step.

Study and Survey Active defense devices, such as traps and alarms can be studied and surveyed, making your opponents' security work against them.

Sway You can create a barrier that charms and persuades creatures, such as a ward that prevents or encourages violence in all who pass.

Tinker Handle can slowly manipulate existing power barriers. Shape can make greater and quicker changes to barriers, and can also create functional but temporary objects obviously made by the powers you use to create them. Such a barrier stops everything and works like mundane armor, shields, doors, and walls of fine quality. They can be broken much like fine objects can. Create can make permanent barriers in an area you control, or at least for the current score even in a hostile environment.

Wreck You can ram with barrier weapons, but your greatest ability is that you can destroy barriers and barrier effects quite easily.

Darkness

Darkness is linked to both physical and mental darkness.

Dark creatures are shades, devils, and evil seducers and instigators.

Dark attacks are made up of bolts and weapons of dark energy that drain life and energy from targets. This is less effective against nonliving targets but extra effective against creatures of spirit and energy and can cause horrible wounds similar to burn, with necrosis and likely to later become infected.

Command You can use authority and enslave on normal folk, as long as what you are commanding them to do is evil.

Consort You can invoke darkness and envy in your appearance, such as luxury clothes and jewelry and personal beauty. You can change your appearance to deceive and awe or change into a creature of darkness.

Survey Detect allows you to see perfectly in the dark. Sensor can give this ability to an ally. Sensor and scry sees from and in darkness, but can only listen to what happens in brightly lit areas.

Sway You can use mesmerize and inculcate normal folk as long as you play on vice and corrupt them.

Tinker You can work darkness, to expand or push it back, which indirectly creates areas of at least a little light.

Wreck Darkness can wither and slowly corrode and crack objects.

Death

Death and disease are powerful forces.

Creatures of death are undead and the spirits and bodies of the dead can be commanded or turned into undead.

Death attacks are made with phlegm and ectoplasm that inflict disease. Paradoxically this means that death attacks don't kill quickly, instead they take their time as disease and infection kills you, and this is extremely hard to cure. Death attacks can weaken and corrupt objects, but again this is slow.

Hunt Track works on undead, but also on creatures suffering wounds, infection, or disease.

Prowl Reconnaissance works in graveyards, tombs, and haunted places.

Study and Survey works against undead, but also against corpses, including dead animals. Yes, that war trophy is watching you.

Tinker You can work the remains of death creatures and decrepit and broken items, making them function normally despite their condition.

Wreck You can wreck remnants of the dead, but also objects that already suffer from some damage, corrosion, or corruption.

Earth

Earth is the base of all, the solid ground we walk on and dig into.

Earth creatures are mainly earth elementals, but also creatures that burrow into the earth and monsters with earth powers.

Earth attacks are thrown rocks and weapons made of stone, but more powerful effects can cause tremors and earthquakes. Combining with other powers, earth plus fire could cause a volcano.

Earth powers work well on raw earth, such as rock, dirt, and gravel, less well on construction, such as walls, buildings, and roads.

Hunt Track works on any creature moving on a solid surface.

Electricity

Electricity is something that accompanies technology. Primitives recognize the power of lightning and perhaps static electricity, but little more.

Electric creatures are elementals and monsters with electic powers, such as Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, the goats that pulls the chariot of the lightning god Thor. Creatures with electronic brains can also be affected.

Electric attacks are made of lightning. It is extra effective against electronics and less effective against grounded metal. Metal armor won't protect against electricity unless it is grounded.

Command You can use command on electronic brains, such as computers and robots.

Finesse Ride works on electric vehicles.

Prowl Reconnaissance can see electric lines and devices, as well as radio waves.

Tinker and Wreck Both of these on electric and electronic devices, including security such as alarms and doors.

Fire

Fire creatures are fire elementals, fire-breathing dragons, and monsters with fire powers.

Ice

The power of frozen water, arctic cold, and creatures of cold.

Illusion

Illusion powers create images, sound, and other sensory impressions to confuse and delude.

Illusion creatures are called spectres. They often believe themselves to really be what they portray and are very good actors. Some spectres appear as objects and terrain features, allowing such illusions to respond to events without the user's intervention.

Illusion attacks cause pain and apparent wounds, but cannot actually kill. Obviously they cannot affect insensate things, like objects.

Command Illusion used with command creates images of things that can scare onlookers of any kind. You can still command spectres normally.

Consort Manipulate can give any form, but this is not a transmutation, only illusionary.

Finesse Ride allows you to coordinate your movement with an illusion and displacing your location and pose a little, so you can appear to ride an illusory mount or vehicle. Manipulation can create scenery, often used to make a setting seem richer and more impressive.

Hunt You can track a creature as long as you have a good likeness to focus on.

Prowl Reconnaissance is good at perceiving illusions for what they are. Maneuver allows you to use illusory objects and terrain to move as if these things were real.

Sway Illusion used with sway creates images of things that can convice or bluff onlookers of any kind. You can still sway spectres normally.

Tinker and Wreck Illusory tinkering and wreck only affect appearance, but can seem to give abilities they do not actually have. No actual changes, but extremely free to cause illusory changes.

Telekinesis

The ability move things. Something of a compliment to barrier, kinetics has no actual shape or form, nor are there kinetic creatures.

Kinetic attacks hurl objects or manipulate weapons at a distance. This has an advantage in that these attacks are physical and real, resistance to power won't affect them much. Conversely, you need potent objects to actually do potent attacks this way. You can also throw opponents around, which is a great distraction, but doesn't cause much damage.

Attune There are no kinetic creatures for attune to affect, but kinetic effects include almost all weapon attacks, making this a good general defense. Gate can dampen all fast movement in a large area for the duration of a score.

Command Commune and Translate does nothing with kinetics. Authority is telekinetic manipulation of your targets' bodies, much as puppets on a string. Taking control over speech is very difficult, the target can often continue to speak. Enslave is also telekinetic control, and unless you are personally there to control the movement, it can only force very specific behaviors.

Consort None of the normal effects work.

Hunt Track allows you to run faster and jump further, but does not allow actual tracking.

Prowl Reconnaissance allows you to climb and hide under ceilings where people rarely look. Maneuver allows you to jump far. Travel allows you to toss allies. Transport does not work with kinetics.

Study Analyze can detect movement and acceleration and kinetic powers. Research gives you the exact weight, speed, acceleration, and projected path of something. Hindsight can learn how something has moved. Omnipresence gives the same information as research for everything in a huge volume.

Survey Detect allows you to sense kinetic powers and things that move. Sensor give you only tactile information, you can project your sense of feeling and learn an objects shape, feel, and mass. Scry is essentially sensor at range. Omnipresence gives the information sensor gives, but for all objects in a large volume of space.

Sway Does not work with kinetics.

Tinker Shape can form any kind of object about as efficiently as a workshop. Create has the abilities of a machine shop. Fabricate has the abilities of a factory.

Wreck Kinetics can demolish anything, but classes up the required effort. For free you can do what can be done with just hands, but you can do it at range. Jimmying requires items. Smash requires pushing. Disintegrate requires trauma. Obliterate is impossible.

Life

Life power is about life energy. You can heal and improve living creatures. This differs fundamentally from most power sets and so has its own table of effects.

Action	Free	Equipment	Push	Trauma
Attune	Perceive You are able to perceive living creatures, plants and power effects. This is easy if you can see them, harder if they are hidden or invisible. The range depends on distractions; in an empty environment it can be kilometers, in a busy city it is perhaps as much as a city block.	Dispel You can dismiss powers affecting living things, but not creatures.	Heal You can heal the wounds of a living creature.	Resurection You attempt to resurrect a recently deceased creature. This is an extreme act, and might have additional problems or need to be played out as a score.
Command	Communicate You can communicate with living creatures even if normally couldn't, allowing you to use the command action normally on them.	Translate You and allies can communicate with living creatures.	Sleep You can command living creatures to fall asleep.	Rally You can emote a simple message to some or all living creatures in a wide area. This inspires targets to act upon your message, despite any intimidation or mind control.
Consort	Mask You can change your physical coloration and hair growth.	Shapechange You assume the form of another creature of your own species.	Transform You can shapechange (see above) a willing or helpless creature. This is a curse, it can be broken but it is not easy. You can easily break the effect.	Repopulate You can permanently transform (see above) a large number of creatures over a wide area.
Finesse	Ride You can emote with and ride any living but non-sentient creature.	Fine Local Control You touch inflicts dire wounds, similar in effect to a fine potent dueling sword or pistol.	Manipulate You can infuse life energy into living creatures and plants, energizing them and making them alert and energetic. Plants burst into flower or fruit as appropriate.	Surge Your power manifests like a storm of strikes, suppressing the effect of multiple opponents and acting as a fine potent weapon. You can choose to affect multiple targets, but if you do, there is a risk of collateral damage to allies and living things inthe environment. After this burst you rush to a nearby safe location if there is any.
Hunt	Track You can track and pursue living creatures, even if the target does not leave any mundane trail or clues.	Fine Ranged Attack You can use your power to attack, similar in effect to a fine and potent rifle.	Area attack You can use your power to attack similar to a fine and potent grenade. This allows you to fight many creatures in the same area very effectively, but there is a risk of colatteral damage.	Barrage You call down the equivalent of a fine potent artillery barrage, attacking everything and everyone in a wide area. Depending on your power, this can raze buildings and create rubble. This is usually enough to provide cover for any escape.
Prowl	Reconnaissance You can see living creatures even if they are hidden behind cover.	Maneuver You empower your own strength and stamina, helping your movement.	Travel You can bring allies along when you use Reconnaissance and Maneuver.	Transport You and allies can move instantaneously to any place where you have slept. You need not all move to the same location, and you can specify a destination to arrive in the nearest suitable spot. This is regional travel, you stay within the same city or region, but it is generally sufficient to escape or enter just about any situation or location.
Skirmish	Skirmish Attack You can use your touch to wound living creatures as a close-range attack, similar in effect to a melee weapon or pistol.	Fine Skirmish Attack Same as Skirmish Attack, except the weapon is fine and potent.	Obstruction Your power creates distractions and obstructions that prevents living enemies from benefiting from numbers and otherwise works as a fine potent weapon.	Flurry Your power strikes out in all directions, attacking all enemies in a wide area. After this attack, you can rush to a nearby location.
Study	Triage You can identify living creatures and any aliments they suffer from.	Research You know the powers and abilities of a living creature you triage.	Hindsight You can read the past events of a living creature you triage.	Omniscience You research every living creature in a wide area. This is easy to do around where you are, more difficult at range. You can then use hindsight on some of these targets, and have presence of mind enough to give a report to your companions before your trauma.
Survey	Detect You can sense life and life powers at a distance and understand their general nature. This works even when you can't see the target, but both location and information suffers.	Sense Link Choose a living thing you have detected; you can perceive what that creature perceives. You cannot use your Survey action for anything else when doing so.	Scry Choose a location or creature. You form a sense link to the closest living creature, which is often close enough to perceive the target.	Omnipresence You perceive from all living creatures at once over a wide area. This is easy to do around where you are, more difficult at range. As long as you concentrate you retain this perception and can report what you see to others.
Sway	Communicate You can communicate with living creatures even if you normally couldn't, allowing you to use the sway action normally on them.	Translate You and allies can communicate with living creatures.	Emote You can change a living creature's emotions regarding a topic of your choice. This is a subtle power, it is hard to notice until the creature acts on it.	Propagate You can emote with living creatures over a large area.
Tinker	Handle You can understand the medical use of a substance.	Shape You can create medicines and drugs from simple raw materials such as basic chemicals and medicinal plants.	Create You can create medicine and drugs out of nothing.	Fabricate This is similar to create, above, but you mass produce objects, even a set of different objects. You can quickly supply a small hospital.
Wreck	Jimmy You can work with wood and other living or formerly living objects.	Smash Similar to jimmy, but faster and greater in scope. Leaves rubble, but not much else. Can be used to attack like a fine, potent sledgehammer.	Disintegrate Similar to smash, but targets silently disappear or are reduced to a fine dust.	Obliterate Similar to disintegrate, but over a large area. This can level a city block, empty a canal system of water, raze a city wall, and similar massive destruction. You have fine control over this and can spare objects and construction as you wish.
