| + | * Your body hardens and twists, becoming an avatar of power. | ||
| + | * What follows next will depend upon your relationship with your Muse, and the situation, but you should at the very least expect it will result in you gaining considerable offensive capabilities. | ||
| + | * Your Muse will be watching what follows. | ||
| - | ==Avatar of destruction== | + | ===Icon Attunement=== |
| - | * You give off an aura of vindictive potent threat at all times. | + | //Pre-req: Icon// |

| - | * You must concentrate on destroying it without interruption for 60s (i.e. you cannot call damage, use other abilities or move or the timer is reset). | + | * Gain 2 Might. |
| - | * If successful, call a TIME FREEZE. | + | ====Lv5==== |
| - | * You immediately enter a physic combat to attempt to do so. | + | ===Echoes of Self=== |
| - | * The difficulty of this will depend on what you are attempting to destroy - some fights may be impossible but you are likely to gain some insight even on a failure. | + | //Pre-req: Icon Attunement// |
| - | * You may use this ability to retire. In which case, you gain buffs in the psychic combat at GM discretion. | + | * For one encounter per adventure, your body is suffused with an overwhelming violent power as you feel yourself become an instrument of destruction. |
