Moon on the Shifting Sea
VoidDescrição
Reflecting off the sea, the moon looks as if it were within arm’s reach. A child might believe the reflection to be the moon; an adult knows that they will grasp only water if they try to reach it. But the light that falls upon the eye is no more the moon itself than the light that falls upon the water. Grasping that the moon exists in both places and neither, the ishiken can twist space in a similar way to exist as a sole entity in multiple places at once.
Regras
- Ativação
Once per scene as a Scheme and Support action, you may make a TN 3 Theology (Void) check targeting one position at range 0–2. This position must be one you could reach via your normal means of movement.
- Efeitos
If you succeed, you augment yourself, twisting the space around you so that you simultaneously exist at your current position and at the target position. You remain a single entity for the purposes of strife, fatigue, conditions, and effects, and other characters can target you by targeting you at any position you occupy.
If an effect reaches you at multiple locations, it affects you multiple times. When you choose targets for an action you perform, you may receive 2 fatigue to choose one additional target that is within range of at least one position you occupy, or to choose the same target multiple times if that target is within range for the action from multiple positions you occupy. If you choose the same target multiple times this way, resolve the effect against them once for each time you chose them. This effect persists until the end of your next turn. When this effect ends, choose one of the positions you occupy: you cease to occupy all of your other positions. This effect persists a number of rounds equal to your ranks in Meditation.
Magnitude
- Magnitude 1–2: This effect persists for a number of additional rounds equal to the magnitude.
- Magnitude 1+: Choose one additional target position per magnitude. You exist at each of those positions as well.
- Magnitude 3+: This effect persists until the end of the scene. At the end of each round, receive 1 fatigue for each position you occupy.
