Erasure Field

Effect

You create a field where the Current is actively hostile to itself. Centered on yourself, Close range area, lasting 5 Ticks:

• All active psionic effects of Rank 1–3 end immediately (not suppressed — ended)
• Any Talent activated within the field has its cost doubled (1 Strain becomes 2; 1 Erosion becomes 2; Memory costs cannot be doubled — they remain 1)
• Bleed Dice cannot be used by anyone within the field
• The Tension Pool is reduced by 1 die (the field calms the Veil)

Steps

+3 Ticks duration per Step.

Special

This is more aggressive than The Null Zone (which prevents activation but doesn’t end existing effects). The trade-off: it lasts much shorter. Use Erasure Field for a decisive moment of total psionic shutdown; use Null Zone for sustained suppression. Per the Tier-Removal Hierarchy, Erasure Field reaches R3 effects — use Reality Anchor (R4) or higher for R4+ effects.
