Theme: Energy Manipulation

Flavour Text

Your powers manipulate energy, be it electro-magnetic or something different.

Mechanical Effects

Manifestations of energy - glows, heat, distortions, hums and similar - attend the use of your powers.

Improved Special Effects:

Associated Enhancements:

X-Ray Vision

Emitting high energy beams lets you see just like an x-ray machine. Sure, it’s been done before but that doesn’t make it any less useful.

See through any barrier that wouldn’t stop an X-ray.

Radiohead

Who needs a radio to listen to your favorite tunes? Or other people’s conversations?

Hear any broadcast passing through your zone, as well as send your own signals. This ability does not help you decipher digital or encrypted signals.

Ionize

It’s not a very flashy power, no, but you are capable of ionizing the air around you to clear out toxins and particulate matter.

Negate smoke, gas, and aerosols in your zone. Lasts until you dismiss it or move out of the zone.

Drawbacks:

Energetic Diet

You don’t just manipulate energy, you feed on it. Your dietary requirements are esoteric.

You Need Exotic Energy to Survive.

Energetic Distraction

Modern cities are full of energy going to and fro. Even seemingly deserted sections of town tend to have power running and wi-fi signals crisscrossing it.

The constant extra stimulation means you are Always Distracted in Built Up Areas.

Collateral Damage:

Earthing

Your ability to manipulate energy includes being able to dump it all into the ground. It effectively shuts things down… but does tend to wreak havoc on things.

In your zone, energy related processes fail, from lights to radios to computers. Technological superpowers must overcome Fair (+2) opposition to be used. Lasts until the end of the scene or dismissed.
