Rank 1: Time Slip 1
The target cannot act in the next phase. This ability has a range of 5m. 5 FLUX
Rank 2: Momentum 1
The ebb user receives a free phase in the next round. An ebb user can gain a maximum of one free phase per round from Momentum. 10 FLUX
Rank 3: Time Slip 2
As Time Slip 1. 4 FLUX
Rank 4: Momentum 2
As Momentum 1, but the effect persists for CONC rounds. 10 FLUX
Rank 5: Focused Precognition 1
The ebb user foresees the target’s action in the next phase. The target must be within 1m of the ebb user. 10 FLUX
Rank 6: Time Slip 3
As Time Slip 1. 3 FLUX
Rank 7: Momentum 3
As Momentum 1. The effect now persists for CONC minutes. 15 FLUX
Rank 8: Loop 1
‘Loop Back’ forces the target to repeat its action from its last phase in its next phase. The range of the ability is 10m. 5 FLUX
Rank 9: Focused Precognition 2
As Focused Precognition 1, but with a range of 5m. 10 FLUX
Rank 10: Time Slip 4
As Time Slip 1. Although the range is now 20m. 2 FLUX
Rank 11: Focused Precognition 3
As Focused Precognition 1, range 40m. 5 FLUX
Rank 12: Loop 2
Like Loop 1, ‘Loop Forward’ also forces the target to repeat its last action, but it provides the target with a free phase to do so. 10 FLUX
Rank 13: Antiagathics 1
The ebb user needs to touch the target. The target does not age for the next CONC months. 2 FLUX/year of age
Rank 14: Focused Precognition 4
As Focused Precognition 1. The range is 100m. 5 FLUX
Rank 15: Momentum 4
As Momentum 1. Duration CONC hours. 20 FLUX
Rank 16: Time Slip 5
As Time Slip 1. The range increases to 40m. 1 FLUX
Rank 17: Focused Precognition 5
As Focused Precognition 1, but without range limit. 20 FLUX
Rank 18: Momentum 5
As Momentum 1, but passive. 0 FLUX
Rank 19: Antiagathics 2
The ebb user needs to touch the target. ‘Rejuvenation’ makes the target physically younger. 1 FLUX/year/year of age
Rank 20: Total Recall
The ebb user turns back time by 1 phase for themselves and their immidiate surroundings. 50 FLUX
Free Ability: Deja Vu
The target has the feeling of having met the ebb user before.
Equipment: Distortion Piece
A Distortion Piece looks like a big heavy pocket watch made from har science friction material, connected to the Deathsuit by an umbilical-like cord. The glass over the face of the watch is made from heavily cracked and chipped crystal, making it impossible to get a clear view of the glyphs beneath which always appear distorted. To use the Distortion Piece an ebb user has to hold it in their hand. By using the Distortion Piece, the usual effect delay of one phase after calculating a Time Ebb ability is cancelled. 1500c
