Slow it Down!
A broken clock is right twice a day!

Cubism
Why don't you sit tight while we get things squared away out here.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a target within 20 feet. Roll Perception + Crafts at Difficulty 6. The target may contest by Defending or Dodging.
If you succeed, your target will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They cannot move to a new location, and any physical actions they take suffer a dice penalty equal to twice the contested Outcome from the Effect activation, except attempts to escape or break the binding, which only suffer half this penalty.

Contact Confusion
Slightly better than inversion!
When Cassie is touched, even through clothing, the target's mind rattles in their skull, dazzled with confusing sensations as they are concussed by magic
This Effect activates whenever someone touches Cassie's bare skin. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event. Roll Charisma + Athletics at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6 -3 dice.
If you succeed, for the next minute, your target will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by feeling their personal worst sensation on their skin, skin crawling and confusion and pain. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.
Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is a brief flash of light at the point of contact. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
If any affected target takes or deals Damage, this Effect ends.
- When triggered, the Effect activation resolves immediately after the triggering Action. It is not Reaction speed.

- Pity (stopping an attack, executing an injured target)
- Happiness (generosity, dancing, joking, socializing)
- Sadness (finding solitude, openly crying, demotivation)
- Fear (running, attacking)

- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
