Effect
Your next shot, if it deals damage to a Psionic target, severs their connection to the Current for the rest of the scene. The target cannot Channel any Talents, cannot use Resonance, and loses any active psionic effects they are maintaining. Their Erosion track does not reset — the connection is cut, not healed.
Resist
ECHO + Focus vs. your Channeling Sum. On success, the target retains their connection but is still Suppressed for 5 Ticks.
Steps
+1 hour beyond the scene per Step.
Special
Against Veil-Born creatures that rely on the Current (Threadrippers, Whispering Man), a successful Thread-Cutter forces them to make an immediate Morale check at TN 15.
