Effect
Touch a target. They become immune to the following for 1 hour:
- Memory Burn from any source (Backlash, Erosion overflow, enemy Talents)
- Erosion from any source except their own Channeling (environmental Erosion, Veil-Born effects, and enemy-inflicted Erosion are blocked)
- The Hollow condition (even at 0 Memories they retain their identity while anchored)
- Any effect that would separate their soul from their body (possession, the Whispering Man’s Question, etc.)
- Rank 1–3 psionic effects that target identity, memory, or soul (Ego Death, Implant Memory, Memory Palace Siege, etc.)
Steps
+1 hour duration per Step.
Special
This is the Bastion Soul’s most sacred Talent. It holds a dying soul in place while others work to save it. A Psionic ally at 1 Memory remaining can Channel freely while Soul Anchored — the safety net is real, if temporary. When the effect ends, all blocked Erosion and Memory Burns apply retroactively if the source is still active.
