In a round when you use your powers, you enter a light trance for the rest of the round. This makes harder to notice things not related to your powers and the situation at hand. Distractions like environmental conditions, traps, phone calls, distant explosions, allies, and bystanders are obfuscated for you, meaning you cannot use your skills to notice or analyze such things but have to rely on your [[Attributes & Skills (Action)|default attribute]] for each skill instead. This most often applies to [[Spot (Action)|Spot]] rolls, but can apply to any skill. You can break out of the trance trough conscious effort (a basic action), but if you do so, you cannot use any powers for as long as the trance would ordinarily have lasted.
