"Go on. Take it. Taste the power."
― Jakob to Dusk Dude, persuading him to take the Serum of Blistering Heat. (New Blood Interactive's DUSK)

The trait for a power or set of powers that is gained from an empowering object. Variation of Power Source. Not to be confused with Object Empowerment.

Also Called[]

  • Artifact/Object Magic
  • Object-Based Powers
  • Object of Power
  • Powered Items/Objects

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.

  • There is no telling how a powerful object will fare if pinned against another.
  • May need to be in constant contact with the object to keep the gained powers.
