Romana watched and filmed with growing curiousity.  It was clear they had some knowledge of the supernatural despite their appearance.  She would have written them off as common thugs, but now.  Her lips twisted into a frown as she watched and debated how to proceed.<br/><br/>Her head twisted at the thunder, eyes widening as she realized just what it was, then flinching as it battered her magical senses like a bright light would her eyes.  Was this what she had been looking for?  How had she missed it?  How had she been so far off?  Or was it something else?  She had no time to wonder as the spirit's coalescence drew her attention back to the scene at hand.<br/><br/>She debated her options once more, then stood and shoved her cellphone into a pocket.  She had dealt with spirits before, not necessarily this kind of spirit, but hopefully close enough.  She grabbed a handful of salt from her bag as well as a carefully twisted bit of wood.  She tossed the salt into the air to form a cloud, then used the small bit of wood to draw a symbol in the air as she reached out with her will.  It glowed white, then flashed green.  She cursed as the symbol faded and the salt rained to the ground.  She cursed even louder as she felt the ritual snapping back towards her like a broken elastic.  This was not how she had planned her night to go.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Supernatural Lore: At 2021-03-30 23:23:01, PixelatedPixie (uid: 61108) rolls: 1d20a8 Result: 26 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152492)<br/>I minused the book bonus as I figure she doesn't have time for proper research.<br/><br/>Assuming the use of the power is even allowed, if not I am fine with it just failing if she hasn't done enough research.  We should probably settle on a DC or time amount or similar before it can be activated.<br/><br/>Nullification/Weakness Linked Powers:    At 2021-03-30 23:29:01, PixelatedPixie (uid: 61108) rolls: 2d20a8 Result: 25 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152493)<br/>14 and 3, which makes it 22 and 11 as I messed up the roll.  So the nullify hits but the weaken misses.<br/><br/>Nullify Opposed:    At 2021-03-30 23:38:10, PixelatedPixie (uid: 61108) rolls: 1d20a10 Result: 21 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152494)<br/>So 21 vs its will to nullify some of its powers, probably only those she'd be aware of (so potentially just general spirit powers).  <br/><br/>Weaken Side Effect that backlashes: At 2021-03-30 23:40:34, PixelatedPixie (uid: 61108) rolls: 1d20a20 Result: 23 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152495)<br/>I misread things so that should be +6, 20 is the DC.  So she got a 9 vs 20.    So she'd lose 10 power points worth of abilities if I am understanding the rules correctly.  As it is broad it could be most any of them so I will leave it to GM discretion.</div></div>
