Legacy Power: Creatio Ex Nihilio

White Mage's Gift to you; for my dumbass teammates

A 1 Gift Warp Form Power created by Riley.

Description

Athena interacts with the world of nothingness and chooses whichever concept she desires to place upon her patient. Whether it be a tattoo, an animalistic feature, a simple molding of the skin, or something else, Athena can edit the body of any creature to a limited degree.

She'll do it herself and use her fingers to brush against skin, causing her chosen effect to manifest in a rippling effect around her fingertips.

With so much as a tilt of her head, she can make these improvements or hinderances crumble away in harmless multi-color flame without fuss if desired.

This comes from her knowledge gained after studying under a plastic surgeon.

These battle scars can be targeted by Compound.

System

Exert your Mind, choose an Animate target within Arm's Reach, and spend 1 Minute warping their form. You roll Intellect + Medicine Difficulty 6, which the target may contest by rolling [[defensive-roll]], provided they are not restrained, unconscious, or incapacitated.

If you are successful, you may change their body in a way that ranges from a mere aesthetic difference to something inconvenient. Alterations cannot cause a dice penalty of more than -2 to any given Action.

Your alteration counts as a new Battle Scar and is affected by Powers that interact with Battle Scars.


Enhancements

  • Willful End (You may end this Effect before its duration has elapsed as a Free Action.)
  • Augmentation (Your alterations may provide a functional benefit to your target instead of a penalty. Can give up to +2 dice for relevant actions, or simple beneficial traits possessed by mundane animals, such as gills for water breathing.)

Drawbacks

  • Exhausting (After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.)
  • Traumatic (You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.)
  • Easy to Resist (The target must either consent to be targeted or be unconscious, hypnotized, thoroughly drugged, in surgery or similarly incapacitated such that they could not or would not roll to resist this Power.)

Parameters

Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach ) Cast Time: 1 ( 1 Minute )
