The power to inflict mental trauma on a target.
Used by Grace Cyanide, Created by lumiq.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see Obedience’s form vibrating and flickering in and out of sight like a camera shutter, classic horror movie style; the echoing screams that accompany Stake flames come from her own mouth, which opens with a distending jaw, pulling Grace’s unnaturally along with it. Their eyes and anything reflective on their body (including sweat and saliva) reflect orange violent fire. )

Grace’s horror show isn’t as traumatic to look at as it is to be targeted by; dealing mind damage in the form of fear and stress, being forced to live out Obedience’s burning for a few moments… the screaming, flames, and reflections are violently transferred to the target as they suffer the onslaught.

Being on the receiving end of this is brutal. It’s the girls’ oldest ability; the betrayal and pain were enough to keep Obedience’s soul at unrest, so when it’s all put towards someone’s mind in a few seconds, it’s the most reliably terrifying thing contained in the five foot frame.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Sapient target within 20 feet. Roll Intellect + Influence at Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 8 with a -3 dice penalty. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically and their Outcome is 0.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes Mind damage equal to the Contested Outcome. If you deal at least 3 Mind damage, the target will gain a new Trauma selected by you (the GM can overrule you at their discretion). This Trauma may be removed by Effects or mundane therapy, as normal. Affected targets are aware that they are being attacked and can generally tell who did it.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Obedience’s form vibrating and flickering in and out of sight like a camera shutter, classic horror movie style; the echoing screams that accompany Stake flames come from her own mouth, which opens with a distending jaw, pulling Grace’s unnaturally along with it. Their eyes and anything reflective on their body (including sweat and saliva) reflect orange violent fire.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Boogars grips the microphone, his mouth twitching into an exaggerated grin. As he cracks a joke, the sound of childlike screams bursts from within him—distorted, choking cries that seem to tear at his insides. His eyes roll back, and thick black bile spills from his lips, dripping onto his costume. The air around him grows cold, and the screams echo louder, as if trapped souls are trying to claw their way out of his body. His body jerks unnaturally with every laugh, and his voice warps into a grotesque, mocking rasp, drowning out the desperate wails of the children who flicker like ghosts around him. Each breath he takes is another scream, each movement a twisted mockery of joy..

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Faces in the Dark and Compulsive Mockery.
