Translation Codex
Some recursors are able to translate objects and even locations around them into the stuff of places they've been before. Blending fictions into each other, these artists of crossover have powers that can be extremely useful when used creatively. Indeed, their defining characteristic is perhaps their creative tendency, despite the seemingly derivative nature of their creations. Great artists steal, after all.
You translate the exact item or location you had desired.
Your translation effect causes 5 damage to a creature of your choice within Long range.
You can take this Focus to any recursion, but not Earth or the Strange itself.
You cause a mundane object you hold to translate into an equivalent item appropriate to a recursion you've visited before. This change lasts for ten minutes.
You take on the appearance, dress, mannerisms, and voice of a person you've met in another recursion. This change lasts for ten minutes.
Your control over your own translation grants you an asset on a non-combat skill of your choice for three rounds.
A target character within Long distance begins turning into a person from a recursion of your choice. This transformation takes three rounds, at the end of which the target will for all purposes be someone else. This effect lasts for one hour.
You alter the Immediate area into a piece of a recursion you've visited before. This change lasts for one hour.
A hole is opened within Long distance of you between this recursion and one you've been to before, through which the larger of the two recursions spews out into the smaller. The hole cannot be passed through like a portal, but translation to the other recursion is one Difficulty lower than usual. This bleeding lasts for one hour, after which time one or both recursions may be permanently altered by the exchange.
GM Intrusion: You become lost in the translation, thinking and acting like a character from the translation you're drawing from for the next ten minutes.
