[FOCI]
In Translation
You have achieved the dream almost everyone yearns for: you can fly. At first, your fledgling power allows you to move at only hovering speed, but even so, you can rise as high as you want and eventually settle on the top of the tallest mountains to watch the sunset. But soon enough your practice pays off, your speed increases, and you can soar through the sky faster than any bird can match, and eventually, any dragon.
You probably wear a sleek suit, one that includes a (tear-away) cape that flares dramatically when you fly and a mask to protect your eyes from the wind. If you choose this focus in a Supers recursion, your suit also displays your personal emblem, which is tied to your spectacular code name; you should choose one before the media chooses it for you.
Paradoxes, vectors, and spinners are equally drawn to this focus, because who doesn’t want o be able to fly?
A character with Soars Across the Sky might leave a streak of fire, vivid color, or glowing contrail in the sky when using the flight abilities granted by this focus.
The speed of sound is approximately 767 miles (1,234 km) per hour, though it varies depending on air pressure.
Clothing appropriate to your recursion (in Ardeyn, a sleek, qephilim-made suit of sturdy cloth; in a Supers recursion, a suit with a tear-away cape and a utility belt), a weapon of your choice, and 50 crowns.
You fly to a position your foe didn't expect, and its next attack against you is modified by one step to your foe's detriment.
You grab hold of your foe, fly up to 20 feet (6 m) away, and drop him off in a new location.
You float slowly into the air. As your action, you can concentrate to remain motionless in the air or move up to a short distance, but no more; otherwise, you drift with the wind or with any momentum you have gained. This effect lasts for up to twenty minutes
Action to initiate.
If you wear your specially made suit (which serves as light armor), you can wear it for long periods of time without tiring and can compensate for slowed reactions from wearing armor. You reduce the Might cost per hour and the Speed Pool reduction for wearing armor by 2. Enabler
You can fly or float through the air for one hour. In terms of overland movement, you move about 30 miles (48 km) per hour and are not affected by terrain. For each level of Effort applied, you can increase your speed by an additional 30 miles (48 km) per hour
Action to initiate.
When you make a melee attack while using Flight (whether with your fist, knee, elbow, or a weapon), you deal 1 additional point of damage.
An invisible energy barrier forms around your skin while you hover or fly. The barrier lasts for ten minutes, during which time the difficulty of all Speed defense tasks is reduced by one step and you gain +1 to Armor. Enabler
While you hover or fly and are 10 to 200 feet (3 to 61 m) from a foe, you can attack by super-accelerating yourself toward your foe, at the same time gaining a momentary pulse of protection from your Protected Flight ability. Your impact deals 4 points of damage to the target and 2 points of damage to all creatures and objects within immediate range of the target. If you apply Effort to increase the damage, you deal 2 additional points of damage per level applied (instead of 3 points), and targets in the area take 1 point of damage even if you fail the attack roll.
When you use Flight, you can affect one additional creature of your size or smaller for each level of Effort applied. You must touch the creature to bestow the power of flight. You direct the other creature's movement, and while flying, it must remain within sight of you or fall.
You add 3 points to your Speed Pool.
When you use Flight, your base rate of movement increases to 190 miles (306 km) per hour. For each level of Effort you apply to increase your speed, instead of increasing it by 30 miles (48 km) per hour as described in Flight, you can instead choose to increase your speed by 300 miles (483 km) per hour for one minute. Thus, if you apply two levels of Effort, your Flight speed could increase to 790 miles (1,271 km) per hour for one minute, breaking the sound barrier.
