Effect

For 1 minute, the affected Near range area becomes an absolute zone of mundane reality:

  • No Psionic Talents of any Rank can be activated (including Rank 5 Miracles)
  • All active psionic effects of any Rank end permanently (not suppressed — ended)
  • Veil-Born creatures within the area take 3 damage per turn (reality rejects them)
  • The Tension Pool is reduced by 2 dice
  • Thin Places within the area are temporarily sealed
  • The area feels normal — the first truly normal place on the Frontier. The weight lifts. The hum silences. For one minute, the world is what it was before the Rupture.

Special

This affects you as well. You cannot Channel within your own Reality Anchor. Your only tools are your body, your weapon, and your stubbornness. Allies who are Psionics lose access to their Talents while inside.
