- ― Jakob to Dusk Dude, persuading him to take the Serum of Blistering Heat. (New Blood Interactive's DUSK)

Effects[]
A power or a set of powers is delivered to a character who possesses or uses an empowering object, which itself is supernatural and/or advanced technology. The level of power will vary substantially depending upon the object with some objects bestowing limited Physical Augmentation and other objects, particularly those of Divine Power, enabling vast destructive power and Reality Warping. If the user of an empowered object already possesses supernatural abilities, the object may enhance these powers in addition to grant new abilities.
