The user momentarily dissolves into a shadowy mist and reappears at the chosen location. The user briefly becomes incorporeal, merging with nearby shadows. After a brief moment of dark, swirling mist, they materialize at the chosen location.
When activating the ability, the user’s body becomes enveloped in dark, shifting shadows that blend with the surrounding darkness. As they leap, a brief, eerie chill may pervade the air, and faint whispers or murmurs might be heard, hinting at the dark magic involved.

When activating this Effect, the user lights up a joint and continues to smoke throughout the entire process, exhaling clouds of smoke that fill the air. As they approach the broken object, their demeanor is oddly focused despite the relaxed haze around them. Their actions seem haphazard and random; they use whatever is at hand—a spoon to tap components, a screwdriver twisted in mid-air, or duct tape applied in bizarre patterns. Small sparks and clicking sounds occasionally emanate from the object, indicating progress.
For 10 minutes, they continue to smoke and work, seemingly in their own world. Observers notice an almost magnetic quality to their movements, a natural ease and confidence that seem to influence the environment around them. Despite the apparent chaos, there's an inexplicable sense that the user's presence and attitude are guiding the process, making their actions seem almost deliberate. By the end, the object hums back to life, fully functional. The entire scene is a blend of confusion and amazement as witnesses see the user's unconventional yet effective repair, all while constantly consuming marijuana.
Spend 10 minutes. Select a Object within arm's reach that is no larger than an SUV. Cannot be used on Alien technology. You must use up Marijuana in order to activate this Effect. More than half the target object must be present in order to begin repairs. Roll Charisma + Crafts at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, your target is repaired back to a functional state. If you fail, you spend the full time working before realizing you cannot repair the target. If your target only requires fuel or power and is otherwise in working order, this Effect costs no Exertion, and the target is fueled/powered for the next 24 hours.
