· Nervefire: This rudimentary talent is simply a variation on Stun, causing the subjects nerves to fire indiscriminately for the duration, causing painful and uncontrollable seizures.

 

System: Spend one Psi and roll.  For each success the character penalizes the difficulty of all die rolls by one.  The effect wears off by one success per turn, but, unlike Stun, cannot be handily resisted, partially or in full.  Thus, Maria gets 3 successes, her target, Miguel has a +3 Difficulty to all actions as his mind and body dance the jig for his next action, whether it is in the current turn or the next.  In subsequent turns the effect diminishes to +2 Difficulties and then +1 Difficulties before subsiding at the end of the third turn of effect.  Were Maria to blast him again during this time, he would suffer cumulatively!  The range is 5 times the characters Mode rating in meters, and increases at Electromanipulation 3 to affect Psi targets equally and again at Electromanipulation 5 to a range of Mode rating x 10 meters.
