Effect

Touch a willing target only. You grow bone spurs, blades, and armor plates from the target’s skeleton, pushing through the skin. The target gains, for the rest of the scene:

• Bone Armor: +2 AR (stacks with worn armor, maximum total AR 5)
• Bone Weapons: Unarmed attacks deal WR 3, with the Breaker quality
• Bone Spines: Creatures that Grapple or melee attack the target take 1 damage (automatic, no roll)

Steps

+1 WR to bone weapons per Step.

Special

Aftermath: When the effect ends, the bone growths retract. The target takes 2 Strain and 1 HP damage (the retraction is painful).

The target looks monstrous — bone protruding through skin, joints armored with calcified plates, hands tipped with finger-length spurs. This is battlefield modification, not cosmetic enhancement. The sound of bone pushing through skin is unforgettable.

Active form can be ended early by Reality Anchor (BS R4) or higher.
