When Grognar unleashes his power with his weapon in Hand, the air thickens with the stench of blood and smoke. The world shifts into a blood-soaked battlefield, endless warriors locked in perpetual combat—forever fighting, forever dying. The cries of fallen soldiers fill the air, and the ground trembles beneath the weight of endless war. Time itself fractures, dragging everyone within into Grognar’s tortured past. Those around him are lost in the chaos, overwhelmed by the brutal memories of battle and the maddening repetition of war.
This gift warps time and space, summoning a reality where past and present collide. The area becomes a fractured reflection of an eternal battlefield, where warriors are caught in a loop of endless combat, repeating the same war over and over. Time flickers, causing both Grognar and his enemies to experience a distorted sense of the past, while the surrounding environment warps under the weight of this unending conflict. Those within this space suffer debilitating effects, their own personal traumas and memories of war surfacing in response to the overwhelming chaos.

As Selma activates the Gift, a shimmering, translucent sphere about 25 feet wide materializes around her. It looks like woven strands of memories and emotions — flashes of hospital beds, funeral tears, whispered confessions — all stitched together into a pulsating orb. The air grows cold, heavy, and vibrating with overwhelming sadness and dread. Victims caught within feel their chests tighten and their skin crawl, sensing — too late — the explosion of emotional devastation about to erupt.
This is Selma’s art at its purest: weaponized despair. Over the course of her grim work, she has become a repository for countless final moments, confessions of the dying, and the silent horrors no therapy could erase. Now, she pulls from that endless well of agony, solidifying it into a brutal force of obliteration.
This blast is not simply destructive — it is deeply personal. Every bit of pain she once tried to soothe now detonates outward, a fitting requiem for all who thought their sins, their hurts, could remain buried.
(Selma’s hands tremble — not with fear, but anticipation. A low hum grows in the air, the static feeling of countless deaths, regrets, and unspoken agony twisting into something tangible. Around her, the very weight of trauma compresses reality until it buckles, releasing a shattering blast that leaves flesh and bone crumbling in its wake.)
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma. The area within 25 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Anyone in the area has 1 Round to attempt to escape. During the next Round, on your Initiative, roll Intellect + Medicine at Difficulty 6. Targets remaining inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).
If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 25 feet of you with Damage equal to your Outcome + 4. If you botched the activation roll, you will also take full Damage from the blast, otherwise it will not hurt you.
Damage spreads to targets beyond the edge of the initial radius, decreasing by 2 Damage for every 5 feet traveled.
If you successfully hit your target, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. For material armor, this penalty lasts until it is repaired. For intrinsic armor, it lasts until the end of Combat and any relevant wound is healed.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see A sphere, woven from the traumatic events of my patients, takes physical form around me.
As a free creature, The Fairy cannot withstand being caged or imprisioned in any way. Luckily, they possess a glamour that allows them to unlock any lock binding them with a wink of their eye. The lock falls open with a sparkle of light and a sound like a ringing bell.
Spend an Action. Select a Non-Alien door, container, knot, or lock within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless the targeted lock or door is being used to restrain or imprison you.
You may lock, unlock, and/or open your target.
The mystic can meld their aura with another, allowing them to superimpose their being, physical and mental, into a target. Observers witness the mystic fading and entering their target's body as wisps of smoke, leaving no trace of their own body behind.

If you succeed, you possess your target for the Contested Outcome in minutes. The target has no control over their body or actions, and they are functionally unconscious through the entire possession, retaining no memory other than any Traumas they might obtain.
You do not leave your original body behind when you possess a target. When a possession ends, your original body will reappear at the host body’s same location. You may spend an Action to end the possession early.
Stats: During the possession, you use the host body’s Body rating, but your own Mind rating. Any rolls you make use the host body’s Brawn, Dexterity, and Perception but your own Charisma, Intellect, and Abilities. You gain the effects of any physical Assets and Liabilities they have. You cannot read the target’s mind or memories.
Gifts: You have access to and can use any of your own Powers which are intrinsic to your biology or physical body. You cannot access any Powers or other supernatural effects which the target has, unless they are intrinsic to the target’s biology or physical body.
Death: If the host body is killed or destroyed while you are still possessing it, you will die along with it.
Eviction: If you attempt to force your host to take actions which would violate one of their Limits or their instinct for self-preservation, they may resist by rolling Mind. If their Outcome is higher than or equal to the contested Outcome, the possession ends and you are evicted from their body.
If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

For the next day, you may issue specific commands to your target which they will be compelled to follow.

The priest's miracles expand into the treatment and curing of poisons and diseases. To do so, they require a ceremonial dedication (or often re-dedication) to the service of their god, during which the priest and the patient pray together and perform ritualistic bloodletting. These wounds burn with holy, golden fire, attacking the sinful malady and expelling it from the body.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You cannot target yourself. Your target takes a Severity 1 Injury. You must actively and obviously use a ceremonial dagger blessed with holy water to activate this Effect.
