Custom Power List
Sanctaphrax:
Scarlet Sword Form probably isn't broken, but I don't like accuracy-boosting powers. If you rewrite it so that it doesn't stack with other accuracy boosters, then maybe it'd be better. Still, it's kinda bland. Also, I think it ought to alter your behaviour.
You know, I think a modified version of Human Form could work here.
Also, you call it Warp Spasm in the next power. You may want to fix that.
Crimson Blade has stacking issues too. It provides a huge damage bonus at a very high cost, which stacks with other damage bonuses. So the maximum weapon damage becomes much higher. Which probably isn't a good thing.
As the game is written right now, you have to diversify after a while. Because your competency "caps out" if you focus in a specific field. I like it that way.
Anyway, Scarlet Wave is probably reasonable-ish.
Curved Cut might be ridiculously powerful, but it's hard to tell. Could you provide an example of it in action?
ways and means:
Curved Cut is pretty powerful (though it does require a fate point) in narrative terms it would run something like this you shoot a beam of energy at your enemy with your sword you appear to miss your enemy and then they are totally surprised when they are struck from behind. The enemy has to figure out your attack was a feint (alertness roll vs your weapons skill) or they are counted as ambushed and don't get a defence modifier. Its basicly trick shot with sword magic.
Scarlet Sword Form is basicly true aim + a weapons accuracy stunt + a weapons defence stunt + human form ie 2 refresh though it definatly is not meant to stack with any off those stunts or powers. It should alter a person behaviour being something of a Hyde Form powered by bloodlust but the only way I can think to do that is aspects. Any ideas how I could make it interesting I thought a power which consumes your life and makes you eyes glow red was pretty cool in a silly kind of way.
Crimson Blade isn't meant to stack with any stunts, or other powers besides strength powers, it does up the top melee weapons rating by 2-4 depending on the skill level but by the point that this power becomes really powerful magic so far esclipses melee that I don't think that it is unbalanced.
Silverblaze:
Curved Cut sounds like a good way to kill people fast.
jadecourtflunky:
Curved cut sounds like the perfect way to humiliate bad guys.
Outside of Time and Space -3
You are effectively outside of time and space. You can't touch anything, and it can't touch you. You can be seen and heard, but that's it. You can be anywhere at any time.
Knowledge is all I've got: Add +2 to all knowledge skills.
Insubstantial: You cannot affect anything physically, but it can't affect you. Pysical Immunity: Everything, but everything is immune to you too.
Anywhere, Anywhen: Zone borders do not affect you. You can be anywhere you want, at any time. Ever. You can even have several yous in the same timespace.
This is only for support character, but can make for a funny NPC. In a non-stat roleplay I once played, a guy was like this. He got so bored due to his insubstantiality, he had watched every movie he could find and could quote them all almost perfectly. This really isn't a serious power, but if you guys want to help me balance it more you can.

Really, really, really broken. You can literally send any amount of "yous" to search for stuff and find everyone or everything you want (by simply searching in all of a city's or country's or continent's zones) in an exchange or two and then use several "yous" to pass along the info to people who can do stuff about it really fast. Essentially, you can shape the world via blackmail and trafficking of information, and nobody can do anything about it.
