Thin-Blood — Alchemy
Using this formula allows an alchemist to overload electronics such as a car battery or the fuses of a building.
System
Once imbibed, the alchemist may use her simple action to touch a machine or device powered by electricity or batteries, releasing a pulse of energy. All electrical equipment within 30 steps ceases to function immediately. Even backup generators or other electrical equipment that only function in response to a power loss or malfunction are affected by this formula. The effects of this formula appear coincidental, and repairing anything affected by it requires an appropriate skill and roughly an hour of work.
Ingredients
The alchemist's blood, battery acid, melancholic blood, and salt water.
Duration: 1 scene for the use of the formula. Items affected by this formula remain affected until they are repaired.
Cost: 1 Rouse Check
