A gift from those in the space between worlds, allowing those who scatter it about themselves to fade between dreams and reality. When one tosses it into the air about themselves their form begins to shimmer for a moment before nearly completely dissipating, becoming translucent and seeming to blend the with the colors of the world around them in a sort of psychedelic haze that lulls the viewer into believing they saw nothing at all.

"Ooh, this one's trauma-induced! Don't mind if I do-" Karyn exclaimed, never one to pass up the opportunity to make Luciano's life harder. A single finger pressed to the burnt temple of one side of his head, and then his mind was away -- wracked by the knowledge of a fraction of the suffering she had inflicted on her victims: entire worlds destroyed at a whim, eternal damnation inside of some twisted sitcom, pain beyond words for millions of poor souls: perhaps billions.
__Luciano staggered backwards from the sudden assault on his psyche, staring in bewildered horror as the damaged skin of his arms turned vaguely translucent, allowing him to watch as the bones of his arm violently split: first once, then twice, before liquefaction set in and what was once bone fragments piercing his flesh drew back as 4 separate tentacles, performing the actions of each individual arm with much improved precision.__
__The disruption of his body seemed to expel some chunks of bullet shrapnel that must've been left inside of his body from The Crackshot, warping and lengthening until it became an unwieldy shotgun in his hands.__

Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

The "Reaper" Assault Helmet is the signature piece of the Future Soldier's arsenal. It has a sleek, design and is made of a mysterious matte-metallic alloy. The wearer's face is exposed normally, but when activated, a blue holographic visor flickers to life in front of the eyes. This HUD contains information about the soldier's ammunition and shield status, but more significantly can detect enemy combatants.

This allows the Future Soldier to fire at painted targets in the dark, detect ambushes lurking around corners, and grants an overall tactical advantage.

If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on yourself.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see you drink blood directly from the vein.
