--- Quote from: Tedronai on March 31, 2011, 02:06:44 AM ---It occurs to me that 'spellcasting power' should be more clearly defined, just to exclude the possibility of that otherwise vanilla mortal who unwittingly investigated Outsiders (and thus gained Lawbreaker, listed under 'Spellcraft' in the Supernatural Powers section of YS) from being subject to that bonus.

Is that seriously possible?
...
Yeah, I guess it is. I think gaining Lawbreaker without possessing any casting is enough of a fringe case that its inclusion as a valid target can safely be ignored; time-travelers and Cthulhu cultists are the only non-casters who can pull this off, and it's not a stretch to say that possessing Lawbreaker is sufficient magical taint to make them delicious.
Edit with an upgrade:
Mana Plague (Vampirism; -1)
Musts: Mana Locust
Magic Drought: Magic Drain reduces three shifts of power.
The Taste of Death: Once per scene, if you inflict enough stress and consequences from feeding to kill a character with Spellcraft Powers, you may take an immediate "free" recovery period equal to an extra scene.

A few I came up with tonight for a player who wants to play a gambler who is supernaturally lucky.
"Roll the dice". [-1]
You have the uncanny ability to make dice roll the way you want them to or to call out what the dice will roll while they are rolling.
In game this comes out to a 50/50 chance - a 50% probability of success.
"Lucky dodge" [-1]
Once per scene, you may use one fate point to completely dodge any one attack.
"It's all in the cards" [-1]
For some strange reason, when you throw a card, it doesn't behave how cards thrown by other people do. It's rather... lethal. Thrown cards are a +2 weapon each, targeted with weapons or discipline, whichever is highest.
"Time is my friend" [-1]
Whenever you wear a quality watch on your body, your amazing luck influences the world around you to the extent that attacks tend to find your watches instead of you.
This power gives you a natural armor:2 for every watch you have on your person.
The number of watches you have on you is determined by a new stress track governed by your resources, to a maximum of 4.
You can buy more watches (clear the track) when thematically appropriate.
*Note, whenever you have more than two watches on you, this gives you the aspect, "WTF is up with all the watches?"
BumblingBear:
Here are some I came up with for a player who wants to play a supernatural internet troll.
"Force Lightning of Lolz" [-2]
You have the power to make electricity arc between your finger tips and lash out at your target.
This counts as a weapon:2 electrical attack for up to 2 zones targetted with your weapons (or guns) skill.
"IP?... Please" [-1]
You can hack into the internet and surf with your mind from any wire connected to the grid upon touch.
"Dirty little secrets" [-1]
You can touch an electrical device like an iphone or laptop and mystically know if there are porn pics or other incriminating things on them. This also give you a pretty good idea of what they are.
"Handle aura" [-1]
If you see someone in person who you've interacted with online, they will appear to have an aura to you. The color and feel of the aura will give you a very good idea of what their handle or user name was as well.
"Noob security systems" (requires IP?... Please) [-1]
If you access the network inside of a building using your "IP?...Please." power, you will be able to see the layout of all the security systems. For the price of a fate point, you can temporarily turn them all off as well.

That's one that bothered me, it's Breath Weapon with a free extra zone of rang and the ability to use guns to hit with it.
Tedronai:
On the other hand, it doesn't appear to be useable for maneuvers
