EXALTED (+2): -2 (-4 w/Raise) detection, divination, etc. Cannot stack with Strong

Muddle (Confusion)
ISP: 1; 8"; Duration: End of target's Next Turn
Resist with Smarts (-2 if cast with Raise). Failure means target is both Distracted and Vulnerable for Duration.
MODIFIERS:
AREA OF EFFECT (+2/+3): Targets MBT/LBT
FATIGUE (+2): Targets who fail to resist are also Fatigued until they shake
off the effect; this cannot Incapacitate a target, however.
HINDER (+1): Target also loses 2 from their Base Pace (before halving) until effect ends
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
GREATER (+2): Smarts test is -2/-4

Thousand Faces (Disguise)
ISP: 2: 8"; 20 minutes
Assume appearance of same Size/shape, no abilities. If given reason to try, others

MODIFIERS:
ADDITIONAL RECIPIENTS +1: +1/extra target
SIZE +1: Disguise can now be different Size, up to two steps larger or smaller.
ILLUSORY MASK (+2): The recipient looks and sounds like a specific person,
down to the smallest detail.

Friendly Presence (Empathy)
ISP: 1; Range: 8"; Duration: 10
Trappings: Exchanging a pleasantry.
The caster forms an emotional bond between himself and the target with a successful arcane
skill vs Spirit roll. He knows the target’s emotional state and most basic surface
thoughts, and gains +1 (+2 with a raise) to Intimidation, Persuasion, Performance, or
Taunt rolls against him.
Empathy also works on animals, adding +2 to Riding or other rolls used to interact with
the creature.
MODIFIERS:
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
AREA OF EFFECT (+2/+3): The power affects everyone in a Medium Blast
Template for +2 points, or a Large Blast Template for +3.
EMPATHIC TRANSMISSION (+2): The empath gains a +2 (+4 on a raise) bonus on rolls
against the target.

Induced Paranoia (fear)
ISP: 2; Range: 8"; Duration: Instant
Trappings: Targets become convinced they are being stalked by their worst nightmares
This power causes overwhelming dread and horror. The affected make a Fear roll. Extras
who fail are Panicked and Wild Cards roll on the Fear Table. If the power is cast with a raise,
the Fear roll is at −2 and Wild Cards add +2 to Fear Table results.
MODIFIERS:
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
AREA EFFECT (+2/+3): For +2 points the power affects everyone in a Medium Blast
Template. For +3 points the area of effect is increased to a Large Blast Template.
SELECTIVE (+1): When using Area of Effect Modifier, can choose to not
affect some targets in the area.
GREATER FEAR (+2): Fear rolls are made at −2, or −4 if cast with a raise.

Phantasmagoria (Illusion)
ISP: 3; Range 8"; Duration 10
Illusion can be used to create a visual scene or replica of most anything the caster
can imagine, but it is silent, intangible, and incapable of affecting the real world.
Those who contact an illusion or doubt it’s real make a Smarts roll as a free action
(at −2 if the power was activated with a raise). If successful, that individual is no
longer subject to this casting. Extras get a group roll.
The volume of the illusion must fit within a sphere the size of a Medium Blast
Template (4″ or eight yards in diameter).
MODIFIERS:
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
SOUND (+1): The power generates sound appropriate to the illusion. It may not
mask or mute existing sound, however.
STRONG (+2): Smarts rolls to disbelieve the illusion are made at −2.
DEADLY ILLUSION (+3): The illusion may attack or otherwise cause harm.
Once per turn (including the turn it’s cast), the caster may use a free action to
"attack" an individual. This is an opposed roll of the caster’s Arcane Skill versus
the target’s Smarts (at −2 if the power was activated with a raise). The caster
may attack additional foes as actions.
If the caster wins, the target is Shaken (this cannot cause Incapacitation). With
a raise, the target suffers a Wound (this can cause Incapacitation).
GREATER ILLUSION (+1): The illusion’s area of effect is increased to
the size of a Large Blast Template and its Duration is measured in minutes.
MOBILITY (+1/+2): For +1 Power Point, the illusion can move at a Pace of 12, or
24 for +2 Power Points.
REACH (+1/+2): The illusion can stretch or reach beyond its usual diameter. For
+1 Power Point it has a Reach of 12", and for +2 it has a Reach of 24". This may
be used in conjunction with the Deadly Illusion modifier to simulate a lashing
tentacle, power, or ranged attack emanating from the illusion itself.

Psychic Touch (Mind Link)
ISP: 1; Range: 8"; Duration: 1 Hour
Connect 2 subjects in telepathic contact; once connected, link is good for up to
1 mile, or 5 miles with a Raise. Only voluntary communication occurs. If any
subject suffers a Wound, all others must roll Smarts or be Shaken (no Wound).
Communication speed is as if in conversation; five times faster with a Raise.
MODIFIERS:
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
ADDITIONAL RECIPIENTS +1: Add 1 subject per use.
EXALTED +2: Broadcast a short message to every sentient mind within 1 mile
(5 miles with a Raise).
TELEPATHIC SWITCHBOARD +5: Connect up to 8 willing minds at once. Targets
must be within 1 mile (5 with a Raise).

Psychic Intrusion (Mind Reading)
ISP: 2; Range: 8"; Duration: Instant
Gain one truthful answer from the target; on a Raise, target is unaware of
intrusion. Opposed by Smarts, which may be modified by target's Hindrances,
Edges and general state of mind.
MODIFIERS:
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
MIND WALK (+4): Allows the caster to walk through the mind and memories of
the subject; Duration increases to 10 minutes. While the power is in effect,
the caster can ask any number of questions, explore memories, or simply have
a brief conversation with the inner consciousness of the target.
Particularly vital or dangerous questions or thoughts—or exploring deep hidden
fears or something of great emotional value to the target—may call for an
additional contested roll.

Psychic Theft (Mind Wipe)
ISP: 3; Range: 8"; Duration: Instant
Power takes one minute of constant struggle; if the target leaves the Range,
the effect is lost. The Power is resisted with Smarts at the end of that time.
Success eliminates up to 30 minutes of a single event. On a Raise,
the target can lose several hours of complex memories.
If the target resists, they are immune to Ophelia's Psychic Theft for 24 hours.
If presented with evidence after the fact, the victim is allowed a Smarts roll
at -2 to attempt to remember fragments, but the memories will still be badly
distorted.
MODIFIERS:
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
EDIT (+1): Instead of wiping the memory, the caster edits it as she sees fit.
FAST CAST (+2): The caster can wipe a memory as an action.
GREATER MIND WIPE (+2): If successful, the victim forgets a complex
memory of several hours. A raise removes an entire day’s worth of events
and interactions.
EXALTED MIND WIPE (+20): The caster may attempt to wipe the
victim’s mind clean of all memories. This is accomplished by completing a
successful Challenging Dramatic Task (or Difficult Dramatic Task for Wild
Cards), where the caster’s Arcane Skill rolls are opposed by the target’s Spirit
(with bonuses or penalties as the GM sees fit). If the caster fails, they become
Exhausted. With a success the caster is only Fatigued and the victim—though
they retain all skills and abilities—completely forgets who they are
or any details of their previous life. The 'Edit' Power Modifier (see mind
wipe in Savage Worlds) costs +5 Power Points when used in tandem with
Exalted Mind Wipe. Cannot be used in combination with the Fast Cast
standard Power Modifier.

Psychometry (Object Reading)
ISP: 2; Range: Touch; Duration: Special
Success allows the character to see events that occurred within 10 yards
up to about five years past. A raise increases this to 100 years and 20
yards. The caster can “fast forward” and “rewind” as desired, skimming
about 10 years of history per minute of real time. When watching an
actual event, it occurs in real time, just as if watching a digital video.
MODIFIERS:
STRONG (+2): The caster can see or hear from the item’s creation forward.
DEEP READING (+2): The character can see anything that occurred within
line of sight of the object.
PSYCHOMETRIC PROJECTION (+2): The caster may broadcast the vision,
projecting it out into a space the size of a small room. Anyone present
may see and hear the events and examine the projection from all angles.

Psychic Dominion (Puppet)
ISP: 3; Range: 8"; Duration: 10
Opposed by target's Spirit.
Success: The victim automatically obeys commands that don’t directly
harm himself or those he cares about.
Raise: The target is completely controlled, but gets an automatic Spirit
roll as a free action to avoid directly harming himself or those he cares
about. If the puppet’s resistance succeeds, he doesn’t carry out that
particular command but doesn’t otherwise resist his master. With a
raise, he breaks the controller’s hold and the power ends.
Commands are general, such as “attack that person” or “open that
door.” The controller doesn’t get to dictate how many actions the victim
uses in a turn, whether or not he uses his Sweep Edge, etc.
MODIFIERS:
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
ADDITIONAL RECIPIENTS (+2): The caster may affect others at the cost
of 2 Power Points each.
MIND CONTROL (+3): Spirit rolls to resist commands are at −2 (– 4 with
a raise). If the caster has and uses mind link on the target, she may
extend her control of him to any distance, even out of her sight.

Ennervation (Sloth)
ISP: 2; Range: 8"; Duration: Instant
Success: Target moves at 1/2-Pace; Raise: Movement counts as an action.
At the end of each round, the target rolls Spirit to shake off the effect.
MODIFIERS:
HINDER (+1): Target also loses 2 from their Base Pace (before halving).
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
AREA OF EFFECT (+2/+3): +2 points the power affects everyone in an MBT.
For +3 points the area of effect is increased to an LBT.
SELECTIVE (+1): When using Area of Effect Modifier, can choose to not
affect some targets in the area.
STRONG (+1): The Spirit roll to shake off sloth’s effects is made at −2.
FATIGUE (+2): Targets who fail to resist are also Fatigued until they shake
off the effect; this cannot Incapacitate a target, however.
GREATER SLOTH (+2): The target cannot run, and with a Raise is Vulnerable.

Adrenal Gland Surge (Speed)
ISP: 2; Range: 8"; Duration: 10
Success: Double Pace and Running; Raise: Ignore -2 running penalty.
MODIFIERS:
HURRY (+!): Target's Pace is increased by 2, after doubling.
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
ADDITIONAL RECIPIENTS (+1): The power may affect more than one target
for 1 additional Power Point each.
QUICKNESS (+2): The character’s total Multi-Action penalty each turn is
reduced by 2 (she can do two actions at no penalty or three at −2 each).

Bound Sleep (Slumber)
ISP: 2; Range: 8"; Duration: 2 Hours
Success/Raise: Targets must roll Spirit/-2 or fall asleep. Very loud noises
and attempts to wake up the sleepers by shaking grant another Spirit roll.
MODIFIERS:
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
AREA OF EFFECT (+2/+3): MBT/LBT
SELECTIVE (+1): When using Area of Effect Modifier, can choose to not
affect some targets in the area.
GREATER SLUMBER (+1): The penalties to resist increase to −2, or −4 with
a raise.

Synesthesia (stun)
ISP: 2; Range: 8"; Duration: Instant
Trapping: Target's senses become hyper-sensitive, to the point of overlap,
so that any strong sensation is painful and momentarily debilitating.
A successful casting means the victim must make a Vigor roll (at −2 with a raise on the
arcane skill roll) or be Stunned (see 106).
Stunned: Distracted (-2 all Trait rolls until end of target's next turn); Vulnerable (Hostile
actions at +2 until no longer Stunned); Fall prone/to knees; Cannot move or take actions;
Do not provide Gang-Up. Vigor roll at start of turn: Success/Raise = Un-stunned, Vulnerable
until end of Next/This turn.
MODIFIERS:
RANGE (+1/+2): Range 16"/24"
AREA EFFECT (+2/+3): For +2 points the power affects everyone in a Medium Blast
Template. For +3 points the area of effect is increased to a Large Blast Template.
SELECTIVE (+1): When using Area of Effect Modifier, can choose to not
affect some targets in the area.
GREATER STUN (+2): Resistance rolls are made at −2, or –4 with a raise

Gear

Subtle Mask (Enchanted Signature Item)
Basic Item: Language Translator, Magical Version: Familiar with the most common languages spoken in North America, this device operates with a d12+2 skill for most translation work. The wearer either hears the translation, or can choose to see it scroll past their eyes, like subtitles. Use the same process as for the cybernetic Language Translator (see page 114) to teach the system new languages (1 lb, 19,200 credits after magic-equivalent mark-up).
Minor Mod: +5 internal PPE
Minor Mod: Concealed when Worn
Major Mod: +10 Internal PPE
Major Mod: When invoking the conceal arcana Power, the wearer can choose to 'tie' the Power to the Mask. From that point on, the Mask maintains the Power from its internal supply, until either the Mask is removed or the internal storage is drained. The wearer cannot take over the maintenance--the Power simply ceases when either condition is met. If an enemy does succeed at the Notice roll to spot the Subtle Mask, they can target it with a Dispel Power and shut it down, or use Drain Power Points to siphon off the pool as normal.

Bag of Holding (Patron Item) (Bronze, SWADE)
Image
Rare Enchanted Bag
Made for hiding what valuables are contained inside. As a free action, the character can activate the bag's magic and remove items from it.
• Weight: 1 lb.
Magic Features:
• Effect: Dimensional Pocket
• • Activation: A free action is needed to activate access to this function. Until the bag is activated, it is simply an empty, ratty looking (though sturdy) leather pouch. See Detection below.
• • Unless Activated, the pouch itself is usually empty or filled with a few random odds and ends. A canny user might keep a handful of few decoy items in the pouch while not activated to fool casual inspection.
• • Capacity: 50 lbs.
• • Restrictions: Though flexible, the orifice for deposit is only 4"x4", so nothing larger can fit inside the bag of holding. Retrieving an item takes an action. For every 4th item after the first in the bag, the time to grab an item increases by 1 action. 1-4 items: 1 Action 5-8 items: 2 actions, 9-12 items: 3 actions, etc. This can be spread over multiple rounds.
Contains




Detection and Identification: While the Bag of Holding is quite subtle, it is not truly hidden, merely disguised. Therefore the user is warned not to allow it to come under scrutiny by the magically or psychically active.
• A successful use of Detect Arcana will register it as magic, but will not usually reveal its purpose. A raise will reveal it uses Dimensional and Temporal magic, but not how.
• Using the Exalted Detect Arcana Power Modifier will reveal its function with a raise and that it uses Dimensional and Temporal Magic on a success.
• A Shifter using Detect Arcana will reveal it to be using Dimensional and Temporal magic on a Success and determine its function with a raise.
• Similarly a Shifter using Exalted Detect Arcana will automatically determine its function on a success. On a Raise they can figure out how to activate it.

Background
A timeline, of sorts
Much of this timeline is speculative, but feels about right--the key events in her personal history can be adjusted if. say a firm date for the destruction of the Psi-Ghost village gets established.
Dark Ages, approx 70 DPA: Small village in the Magic Zone starts to breed 'true' as Psi-Ghosts.
Dark Ages, approx 10 DPA: Roughly three generations in, the residents have begun turning their innate ghosting ability, used up to this point as a survival mechanism, into a serious tool of leverage, beginning to build a power-base as spies, saboteurs and acquisitions experts.
10 PA: Psi-Ghost network achieves peak position of prominence and power. Several other underworld organizations take note.
15 PA: An alliance of underworld forces targets the Psi-ghost village. While most of the Psi-Ghosts escape and set up independent operations or join other organizations, some are captured or killed, and a small handful end up 'lost', either disappearing into the wilderness never to be seen again, or fleeing through Rifts to strange places--and times.
Ophelia Monk (her current name) was already a community 'elder' (in her 40s) at the time the retaliation raid against the Psi-Ghost village struck. Like many, she escaped into the wilderness. However, her greater psionic talents actually worked against her--the raiders had employed a pack of psi-stalkers, who were able to ferret out her trail much better than that of her non-psychically awakened peers.

Hounded through the woods, she came across a Rift; given the alternative of being murdered by the Black Market, she opted to let Fate take a hand. She passed through the Rift and watched as it shut behind her. It took her a little while to realize she'd scarcely changed location at all; the pre-dawn light, which should have been hours away, misled her into thinking she must have been transported further East.

However, she soon realized that the terrain was the same, only the lighting was different. Still uncertain how much time had passed, she began to make her way back towards the village--or, as she discovered, its former site. The shock and grief she felt as she found the space where her extended family and friends had once live--now occupied by only a few completely overgrown foundations of long-burned buildigns--was enough to drive her to her knees.

She wept, but then, with the discipline with which she had mastered the arts of the mind melter, she shook off the despair and began to investigate--both the new world she found herself in, and the fate of her family and friends.

In the first major settlement she came across, Kingsdale, she learned that it was now the year 95 PA. She also learned that this meant she'd skipped ahead a full fourscore years (in 15 PA, no one in the Magic Zone really cared what Karl Prosek's calendar said, so the calculation wasn't as easy as one might have originally thought).

She had to resort to petty theft in Dregstown to survive, for a few weeks, while regaining her footing. She then presented herself as a contractor to a local crime boss. She did a few jobs for him, and, without revealing her own story, learned that most of her kind had taken to a similarly mercenary existence. She took her leave when the opportunity to do so amiably arose, and sought out some of her descendant-brethren.

It took her some time to convince those first few of her bona fides; many thought it was some sort of trick, an effort by a rival Psi-Ghost clan (for there were clan rivalries, she now learned, to her dismay) to infiltrate and perhaps steal or subvert them. Still, she persisted, and her knowledge of names of family elders passed down orally from parent to child eventually proved her claims.

Still, she was disheartened to see the once-proud mutant family scattered so badly, though she was delighted to see that they managed to survive and even thrive in this new world. She found the Byzantine form of the Psi-Ghost code to be particularly odd--you couldn't 'rat out' a fellow Ghost, even from a rival clan, but you culd cause their operations to fail, so long as they escaped personal capture in the end. Likewise, duels between rival Ghosts were considered acceptable, even to the death!

She thought on it hard, and eventually came to the conclusion that it had been the fault of her own generation. After all, they were the ones who had allowed hubris to carry them so high, so fast, that their rivals had no choice but to retaliate so savagely. Furthermore, their aloof apartness from the world had clearly left them vulnerable, without allies.

Ophelia believes deeply that her people need to be brought together, as much as possible, anyway. She also believes that, while their talents have an obvious purpose, simply using them for purely mercenary reasons weakens the ties between the Ghosts--sooner or later, she fears, the much-vaunted Psi Ghost Code will crack under the weight of a sufficient inducement (she actually worries about this much more than the notion that one might surrender the information under threat of torture--she knows her kin's pride well enough to understand that none of them would accept the shame of being broken).

And so, a few years ago, she began traveling North America, seeking a place where her people could use their talents for a higher cause, and at the same time begin to gather strong allies so that they would never face another Night of Retaliation alone.

It was during this search that she began to hear rumors of a new organization, the Tomorrow Legion, and tales of their valor stirred something in the old woman's heart. She sought out Refuge, and after speaking with the folk there (and, perhaps, doing some less savory forms of investigation), confirmed the tales were true. She approached the Legion recruitment office, and enlisted.

Upon learning of her uniquely powerful skill at sculpting minds, she was brought in as a specialist. Elle of Owls gave her a difficult assignment, but one the mind melter understood the import of. They established some ground rules for this specific service, one which ensured both she and her Legion commanders would be comfortable with the decisions made.

The decision was also made to transfer her into a fairly new SET, in order to keep her from drawing too much attention, of the sort that someone of her advanced years might otherwise find herself the focal point of. Like most SETs, Field Team Six would be a collection of oddballs, keeping her from standing out even among them.

Her special duties do take up virtually all of her 'free time'--and what doesn't get consumed by that task is given to another. Ophelia has a specific agenda in mind. She regularly investigates for signs of a Psi-Ghost in trouble. When she learns of one, she reaches out to them, offering the Legion as a potential 'fresh start'. She makes one very specific rule, though--so long as the Legion holds true to the ideals it espouses, she expects any Psi-Ghost 'rescued' in this fashion to sign a lifetime contract--they can retire completely, but so long as they work, they work for Castle Refuge.

In addition to the time consumed by these efforts, so too are considerable funds, especially since they must be done covertly, and so her personal finances are under constant strain, paying contacts, informants and even smugglers; once, she even had to pay a debt on behalf of a Psi-Ghost who had crossed the wrong people.

Her intent, through these efforts, is to exploit both the Psi-Ghosts' Code and the honor of the Legion, forging a bond that will simply prove unbreakable, and thereby giving the diaspora a home.

Normally it is only listed once. But it should be listed.
Done, sort of (I had listed the +2 from race under AB: Psionics already, so no reason to re-list it as a separate Edge. But I did need to add the N1 Edge).

Changelog:
Notes towards a reboot:

Rolling back to N2:
Remove Streetwise, x2 Power Points Edges (Net 30 ISP).

+2 HJ rolls (also from Psionics; original two rolls were 8-11 and 14-15. Note declared tweak of the HJ Table above: 1 is now treated as a 4 from the Experience table, granting Strong Willed instead of (ugh) Soul Drain). Final note: If the Atlantis book has its own HJ tables, I might want to use one of those, instead.:

Bonus HJ 1: 1d20: [16] = 16 Many psionics strive for a level of enlightenment that transcends matters physical, focusing ever more energy and effort via their will. Your hero is able to spend a Benny to use her Spirit in place of any other Trait roll for a round.
Bonus HJ 2: 1d20: [5] = 5 More ISP means more power to work with, and your character has it. He gains the Power Points Edge.
Reroll HJ 2 (Already have PP Edge from IF): 1d20: [5] = 5
Reroll HJ 2 (Already have PP Edge from IF): 1d20: [7] = 7 : Some battles are lengthy affairs, and conserving inner strength gives a psionic the
advantage she needs to win. Your hero gains the Channeling Edge, or Concentration if she already has that Edge

10/1/21: Loot Drop!: Add +1 Toughness to Tactical Suit.
