Effect
Fire a shot at any visible target. The bullet does not arrive. It hangs frozen in the moment between trigger and impact, invisible to all observers. At any point in the next 24 hours, as a free action from anywhere on the Frontier, you may speak the trigger phrase: “Now.” Consumes 1 round.
Resolution
The bullet completes its journey. It deals WR × 3 damage, ignoring AR and Cover. It hits automatically — the target had no time to dodge, because no time has passed for the bullet.
The Catch
If you die before triggering, the bullet vanishes. If the target dies by other means, the bullet finds them anyway, exiting the corpse with a sound only you can hear. The burned Memory is the trigger phrase itself — once spoken, you forget what you said.
