Grace covers her eyes and counts to five, slowly fading out of existence as she does so until completely gone. While she counts, Obedience is looking for hiding spots, though this has become less obvious over time as the loss of Grace's eye locked that area from moving independently.
Grace knows the importance of staying hidden. Being able to wriggle into small spaces already is helpful, but being able to slip past people in broad daylight is required for swiping necessities. This power is most often used for sneaking into the cargo holds of planes to travel long distances.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend three Actions performing the following ritual: Grace covers her eyes and counts to five. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.
You and any clothes or equipment you are wearing are obscured from sight for the next hour. All attempts to detect you via sight fail. Detection attempts via other senses where sight would assist are rolled at a -2 dice penalty.
Entering Combat or being Injured does not cause the Effect to end early. Anyone you attack will immediately notice you; anyone else may re-roll to notice you each time you take a Combat action, at -1 Difficulty per Combat action you have taken. When the Effect ends, it is disabled for 1 hour.

+2 dice to all upgraded guns rolls.
You also gain the following effects:
Upon the gift's activation, colorless blurry wisps begin to appear in the vicinity of the target with a steadily-increasing rate. At first, they lazily and laterally rotate around the target - with the rotation's direction being random when it comes to each wisp - but their speeds and sizes grow as more wisps emerge. The wisps turn darker the larger they become.
If the gift is used to replace limbs or organs that are normally visible to observers, upon the gift's successful deactivation all wisps burst into roiling swarms of black, ever-shifting glyphs that quickly convene at the locations of the limbs or organs being replaced and build up inky-black and wispy replacements out of themselves until no more glyphs remain.
If the gift is used to replace limbs or organs that are normally not visible to observers, upon the gift's successful deactivation all wisps coalesce into a single swarm with a red sheen which then flies into the target's body and disappears.
If the gift is used to replace some limbs or organs that are normally visible to observers as well as some limbs or organs that are normally not visible to observers, both finalization behaviors described above happen in direct proportion to how many of each are slated to be replaced. If the gift user is interrupted midway through the process, all existing wisps disappear in unison.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless you intend to replace missing limbs or organs of the target and, if the target is not yourself, the Confluence of Glyphs approves of the target. Approval requires the target to be bound by the Guile-Cloven Pledge oath. Select up to four Battle Scars on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scars heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.
Healing a Battle Scar in this way leaves behind inky-black, wispy, yet perfectly functional replacements of the selected missing limbs or organs on the target which cannot be healed.
After a freak accident, and some divine intervention, you awake to a smell of rot, you look at your arm, which has grown a shade of sickly green, it seems to be the root of the smell, better cover that up.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active automatically count as a successful Proper Stabilization and do not deteriorate further. Any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will heal with the Injury.
You may choose to heal any Battle Scar on yourself that is not caused by an Injury. Recovery takes one day, and the Battle Scar affects you fully until that time.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: any scars that heal this way leave the flesh in that area sickly green and start smelling like rot.
All it takes is a flick of your hair and a bat of your eyelashes, and you’ve got their attention.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. A number of Sapient, Living targets within 50 feet who can perceive you through no greater than your Charisma rating are affected. Audiences or mobs with a singular focus count as one target. Roll Charisma + Performance at Difficulty 6. All affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.
If you succeed, the targets will keep their full attention focused on you for Contested Outcome in Rounds. They will automatically fail any rolls related to noticing anything other than you.
If you pass from their perception and they are unable to pursue you, the Effect ends. If they can follow you, they must do so for 2 Rounds or the Effect will end. The Effect ends early if the target is Injured or violence occurs nearby.
This does not affect the target’s opinion of you or their mood, and they may take any Actions while affected (including attacking), as long as that action centers on you. Fascinated targets cannot Concentrate.
The Vampire was cursed to forever be a vile creature of the night! Their skin has faded to a deathly pale, only regaining something close to human complexion in the immediate aftermath of feeding on human blood. They are weakened when exposed to direct sunlight or when they have been unable to feed in the past day, but otherwise has gained inhuman strength, speed, and irresistibility from their devil's bargain.
