Reforming the Shadows Master of Disguise
The Power on Nephyis has given me greater control over the shadows I can move about as needed and make the changes that she wishes. I focus on my ring and invoke her power then and only then can I change how I look while she changes me to the person I need to be.
Exert your Mind (unless Shadows/Darkness) and spend a minute to activate. You must actively and obviously use necklace to activate this Effect.
You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts until you either activate a new disguise, or choose to end the effect.
The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise may directly mimic the appearance of a specific individual. You may change the appearance of your clothes. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.
After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.
- A performance check is generally required to pass with people who know the individual you're mimicking.
- While you may alter your clothing's appearance, this does not grant or store equipment.

Invoke Bogeyman
"Careful" Momma Ettu warned... "The bogeymen are angry little balls of teeth and eyes... and they get people who deserve it, like they almost got me.."
Momma Ettu can verbally summon a 'Bogeyman' by verbally implying one is present and a danger, through story or statement like 'There's a bogeyman in these woods' or 'Ive heard bogeyman... " Etc.
Immediately after, a medium dog-sized, indistinguishable ball of teeth (think Stephen King's Langoliers) will appear from somewhere out of sight (behind a tree, or around a corner or something when possible, but directly behind them if no other options are available within 15 feet or so). They follow Ettu's lore given during the summons, although she can always change the story. They will always attempt to approach stealthed, and hunt as a predator would- lunging when the target is distracted, when they're spotted, or when they manage to get close enough to catch the target unaware- where they will promptly lunge at the targets throat or chest area.

Bogeyman are notorious for being able to find you, no matter how far you run. (They can attempt to track people, somehow, despite lack of obvious eyes)

- When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.

Bomb Up My Sleeve
TSA regulations sure are annoying for an aspiring demolitionist, but Ellis has made do.
Ellis has his own personal realm of holding in which he can store explosives for future use.
In order to store a bomb, Ellis must first have performed the Ritual of Bomb Bonding with this particular explosive. This ritual lasts three minutes, and involves a complex geometric dance. During the ritual, the bomb will detonate and then immediately piece itself back together several times, imbuing a small fragment of Ellis' soul within it. No damage will be dealt to anything, but anything within a 3 meter radius that is flammable might appear slightly singed. Once a bomb is Bonded, it will remain that way until it is destroyed.
To store the bomb, Ellis places his hand on top of the Bonded explosive, upon which the explosive appears to detonate in a small area covering his hand. Re-summoning a bomb looks as if another small explosion occurred but in reverse.
Spend a Free Action to activate. This Effect cannot be used unless the bomb being stored has undergone the Ritual of Bomb Bonding.
You may withdraw an item from your stash, or add an item that is within arm’s reach to your stash. You may store bombs in your stash, each no larger than something which could fit inside a briefcase (15 liters), and you may store up to 35 of them at a time.
- Containers which hold multiple things may count as a single item so long as the things within are generally packaged together. For instance, you may stash a clip full of bullets, a medical kit full of medical supplies, or a box of crackers, but you cannot stash a backpack full of miscellaneous equipment.
- You may only attempt to store Objects which are free-standing and disconnected from other things. The use of this Effect will not allow you to sever any connections holding an Object in place.
- The Maximum Object Size parameter is intended to roughly capture the weight / size restriction of items and isn’t intended to restrict shape. GM discretion is advised. A human being is level 4 in the Maximum Object Size parameter.

Wolf Out
Now this is a hairy situation.
