Cubism Why don't you sit tight while we get things squared away out here.
Yvonnel makes a square shape with her fingers and looks at the Target through it. If she succeeds in activating the Power, her target will visually become similar to a cubist art piece. The cubes will fall away into many smaller cubes at the end of the duration, ending the effect on the target.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Animate target within 20 feet. Roll Perception + Crafts at Difficulty 7.
If you succeed, the target will suffer a dice penalty equal to the Outcome for the next 2 Rounds. Dice pools may be reduced all the way down to 0 by this penalty. This breaks Concentration.
- This Penalty is not removed if a character Exerts their Mind to ignore penalty.
- If a character has a dice pool reduced to 0, they cannot attempt that action.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
