A manifestation of Luci's regret and shame, per the Maddening on Umbra's Spite, is cultivated and weaponized. It pools from the hands and materializes into the real world in the form of a formless mass of ink of pure emotion. Luci throws it a surprising strength.
When it hits a target, that emotion suddenly erupts into a shower of black rain that rushes directly into nearby people's minds, projecting one or more of the Luci's regrets, shames, and most disappointing moments onto the targets in question. The sheer quantity of information overloads the brain or processing center and forces it to essentially reboot, temporarily forcing a few moments of paralysis in which the target is unable to move or resist.
Spend an Action. Select a Living or Animate target within 300 feet. You must use up 1 liter of ink in order to activate this Effect. Roll Perception + Athletics at Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, your target becomes drowsy for the next 30 minutes, during which time they suffer an additional -2 dice Penalty to all Actions. At the end of their drowsiness, they fall into a state of sleep paralysis for Outcome x 3 rounds. During this time, they remain fully conscious and aware of their surroundings but are incapable of taking any actions.
Sleeping targets will not prematurely wake up on their own, but may still be woken up by sudden loud noises, being jarred or splashed with water, taking Damage, or similar rousing events. They will also awaken before dying of hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.
When activating this Effect you may attempt a knockout. If you do and your Contested Outcome exceeds 4, the target falls asleep immediately. Otherwise, they suffer the drowsy penalty for 2 Rounds.
This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.
Grace calls Horatio, Obedience's pet in life and death, out of the ether. He ppears as a ghostly form covered in soot, which trails behind him in wisps as he pads out from somewhere nearby- under a chair, out of a trashcan or closet, from behind her head and onto her shoulders.... Horatio was loyal to the end, and will "die" over and over again fighting ferociouslu for his girls, and fighting. Even when they were both alive, it was their ability to communicate across barriers that got Obedience killed. Now that they've crossed the ultimate barrier together, they can truly and clearly understand each other.
Horatio usually resides in Grace’s mindscape, along with the rest of the menagerie, unless Grace is in a place private enough that he can come out and play.

Horatio wasn't willing to put up with it directly, after a time. But he never went far, watching over her out of even her sight... the most loyal of cats, our beloved Horatio.
