Essence Cost: Low
Duration Low
Cooldown: Low
Paired Action: Comment on how someone has underestimated you, disrespected you, or similar.

• Teleport must put the user within melee striking distance of an enemy within a Low Range that the user is physically capable of reaching.
  ≫ This may only be used once per Ability activation and incurs an additional Mid Stamina Cost.

Essence Cost: Mid-High
Cooldown: Mid
Paired Action: Portray a Turning Point showing your character swearing the vow, emphasizing its personal importance to them.

• Cost scales on the length of theCooldown you are trying to bypass (Mid at maximum).
• The user must wholeheartedly attempt to fulfill their vow until they succeed or for the remainder of the mission.
  ≫ This is a significant Altered State, meaning that the Conduit may enforce it if not sufficiently portrayed.
  ≫ An incomplete vow may be reaffirmed with future uses of Never Say Die, though this must raise the personal stakes and deepen the Altered State.

A single, devastating magical attack that grows stronger the longer you have been fighting its target.

Essence Cost: Mid-High
Cooldown: Low

• Should be functionally treated as a disproportionately powerful, purely offensive Manifestation (pg25).
• Prolonging the Paired Action will increase this Ability’s area of effect, letting it affect more than just its primary target, though this will also increase its Cost.
• Ultimate Strike may only be used ONCE per target per mission.
