Drawbacks

Focus (Activating this Power requires a specific kind of item.)

Subject to GM approval.

Once per Day (May only use this Power once per day.)

Conditional (Only usable when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that the Power is unusable the majority of the time.)

Condition must be significant. Subject to GM approval.

Unique Focus (This Power takes the form of a specific, unique item, which can be borrowed, lost, or stolen.)

Traumatizing (Your target must make a trauma roll to reap the benefits of this power)

Traumatic (Make a Trauma roll when you use this power)

Scarring (You receive a Battle Scar when you activate this Power. If this Power is benign (e.g. healing), the target receives the scar.)

Sympathetic Cost (Your target must also Exert their Mind to activate this Power.)

If the target is unconscious but has remaining Mind, they may still be treated.

Critical Failure (Roll a single D10 when you activate this Power. If you roll a 1, you critically fail in a way that is extraordinarily dangerous. Failure should cause at least a Severity-4 Injury, a mutilating Battle Scar, or some other terrible consequence.)

After-care Instructions (All of your treatments place the same, specific restriction on the patient. The restriction lasts a month, and if they ever break it, the treatment is immediately reversed.)

This restriction should be a significant negative. For example: "the patient cannot travel more than 45 Mph," or "The patient cannot be soaked in water." The patient is aware of this requirement.

Beyond my Skills (You cannot heal Injuries of Severity level 4 or higher. Using this Power still stabilizes them.)

Exhausting (All Actions are -1 die after this Power ends. Lasts for either 24 hours, or the duration of this Power, whichever is greater.)

Exhaustion penalties stack. If you activate this Power or another Power with Exhaustion, your penalty will continue to worsen.

Mage (Activating this Power requires at least two committed Actions and involves intricate use of the arms, hands and either the voice or an object. If interrupted during activation, the Power Fails.)

Just about any attempt to interrupt the ritual should be successful. Even neutral events (like a cat wandering up) may cause it to fail. GM's discretion. If the cast time for the Power is longer than the minimum two actions required, the ritual must last for the entire cast time.

Sacrifice (Activating requires you to Exert your Body instead of Exerting your Mind or spending a point of Source.)

You cannot use Armor to soak this damage.

Fuel (Using this Power consumes some material good in addition to its other costs.)

The unit of material consumed per activation must be specified at power creation time. For example, "A quart of gasoline," or "a head's worth of human hair" etc. The amount should be proportionate to the difficulty to access the material. For instance, something you can get in town (gasoline, ink) should require a half gallon per activation, something abundant like water should require at least a gallon, something rare like mercury should require a cup or so.

Selfish (You may only heal Injuries on yourself. Requires the "Heal Thyself" Enhancement.)

Monstrous (This Power causes a mutation that elicits a strong, negative social response from the average person in your Cell's setting. The mutation is ALWAYS present and visible even if you are wearing long sleeves, pants, and shoes. Maximum one per Contractor)

This mutation is ALWAYS present, even when the Power is not being used, and ALWAYS extreme and difficult to conceal. This mutation may complicate social situations at the GMs discretion. Maximum of one Power with the Monstrous Drawback per Contractor.
