Crystalize
Type: P Action: Complex
Range: LOS Duration: Permanent
This power transforms the cells of a targeted living entity into crystal. This is a ranged attack with a range increment of Magic (meters), using the spirit’s Exotic ranged weapon skill + Agility [Physical] to attack. If it succeeds, the attack inflicts damage equal to its (Force x2)P with an AP equal to the spirit’s Force, and the subject is now immobilized as the transformation begins. Net hits on the attack increase damage normally. The target gets a Body + Armor resistance test as normal.
If the spirit continues to attack a subject with this power, eventually the victim’s entire Physical Condition Monitor may be filled up, and the target is entirely crystallized. The subject will not take Overflow Damage from the power and cannot be directly killed through this power’s use. However, the nowbrittle substance can be damaged through other mundane or magical effects. If the subject has extremities removed while crystallized, these appendages are still missing if they are later returned to their normal flesh status.
