Drinker phases partially out of the current dimension for up to 10 minutes, becoming immune to physical damage but unable to physically interact with the world. While phased, the drinker perceives datasphere signals and death-echoes within long range. At re-solidification, drinker may teleport to any point within short range.

While phased, the drinker exists partially in the datasphere — they can perceive datasphere signals, ghostly echoes of prior-world communications, and sense the emotional residue of anyone who has died within long range in the past decade. Any information perceived this way is fragmented and requires a difficulty 5 Intellect task to interpret meaningfully. On a failed roll, the GM may introduce a datasphere intrusion — a fragment of a prior-world mind attempting to hitch a ride back into solidity.

Designates an anchor point in space; tags all creatures/objects passing through it with a resonance signature for 28 hours. Wielder detects tagged entities within 1 mile. Once per activation, collapse the threshold to stun all tagged creatures within long range (Might defense difficulty 7). Blocks all teleportation and dimensional transit within short range of anchor point while active.

When the amber core pulses three times in rapid succession (a warning the wielder learns to recognize), the anchor has detected a creature already bearing a resonance signature from a prior world — something that has passed through a similar threshold before. The GM should treat this as a significant discovery or a dangerous encounter.

Provides Armor 2 with no Speed penalty. Records up to 3 damage types from hits of 4+ damage, granting +1 Armor against each recorded type for 24 hours. Once per day, expend all stored resistances for a level 7 defensive pulse pushing nearby creatures back.

The carapace learns. Each time it absorbs a significant blow, synaptic filaments beneath the surface realign to distribute future impacts of the same type. A wearer who has fought the same enemy twice feels the armor subtly shift before the third strike lands — granting an asset on Might defense rolls against that specific source until the next rest. The armor communicates nothing in words, only in pressure and warmth.

Long whip weapon dealing 5 points of damage; successful hits force a Speed defense roll (difficulty 5) or target is deafened and loses next action. Cone ability (free action, once per round): 3 points of damage to all in immediate forward arc, pushed to short range on failed Speed defense (difficulty 5).

When the depletion roll results in depletion, the lash does not simply stop working — it emits one final catastrophic shriek. All creatures within short range (including the wielder) must make a Might defense roll against difficulty 6 or take 6 points of damage and be stunned for two rounds. The whip then goes silent and rigid, becoming an ordinary if oddly beautiful decorative object.

Plants a tethering node at the user's location. The user may return to this node from up to 1 mile away as an action, arriving instantly. The return function may be used up to 6 times before rolling for depletion. While active, grants an asset on defense rolls against involuntary movement or displacement. Once per round, the user may make a difficulty 4 Intellect defense roll to negate forced displacement entirely, pulsing amber light that allows nearby allies to do the same.

Once per round, when a force or effect would involuntarily move the user — including gravity anomalies, telekinesis, spatial distortions, or datasphere ejection pulses — the user may make a free Intellect defense roll (difficulty 4) to negate the displacement entirely, anchoring themselves in place. On a success, a visible pulse of amber light radiates outward from their body to short range, and any creature within immediate range that is also being displaced by the same effect may attempt the same defense roll as a free action.
