Arcane Protection, Banish, Barrier, Blast, Blind, Bolt, Burrow, Burst, Confusion, Deflection, Dispel Divination, Entangle, Fly, Havoc, Invisibility, Protection, Sloth/Speed, Shape Change, Slow, Summon Ally,

Tesla Science:

Weird Science is the creation of strange and powerful devices beyond the normal technological level of the setting. It might be possible due to super fuels, alien discoveries, or rare super-geniuses who constantly push the boundaries of science.

Arcane Devices: Weird scientists automatically have the Artificer Edge, which allows them to create Arcane Devices (see page 152). Indeed, they must always use devices for their powers.

Malfunction: Weird science devices don’t cause Fatigue when they suffer Backlash. They Malfunction instead (see page 153). Activation: Weird scientists must usually be able to reach and manipulate their devices to use them (they cannot be Bound, page 98). The GM may allow exceptions for voice-activated devices, worn items, and so on.

Blast:

Power Points: 3

Range: Smarts x2

Duration: Instant

Blast is an area effect power, first the caster picks where she wants to center the blast and then makes the appropriate skill roll (normal ranged attack modifiers apply). The area of effect is a medium burst template. If the roll is failed the blast deviates as a launched projectile. Targets w/in the blast suffer 2d6 damage. Blast counts as a Heavy Weapon.

Range: Smarts

Duration: 5 for boosting, Instant for lowering

This power raises any of the Target's traits by 1 die type for a standard success and by 2 for a success with a raise. The trait can exceed 1d12, for each step above 1d12 add +1 to the total (1d12+1, 1d12+2, etc).

The power can also be used to lower an opponent's trait. This is an opposed roll against the victim's Spirit. Success lowers the trait of the caster's choice by 1 step, and 2 from a success with a raise. Can't be lowered below d4.

Burrow:

Rank: Novice

Power Points: 2

Range: Smarts

Duration: 5

The target can merge with bare earth and travel the range in a round. The target can linger underground in a state of limbo for the duration of the spell.

Burst:

Rank: Novice

Power Points: 2

Range: Cone Template

Duration: Instant

Burst produces a fan of energy that bathes its targets in fire or other damaging energy. Targets within the template may make Agility rolls versus the caster's arcane skill roll to avoid the effect. Those who fail suffer 2d6 damage.

Confusion:

Rank: Novice

Power Points: 1

Range: Smarts

Duration: Special

Instilling confusion in enemies is a powerful aid in combat, and this power provides that ability. On a success, a target must make a Smarts roll at -2 or be Shaken, and on a raise, the roll is made at -4.

Damage Field:

Rank: Seasoned

Power Points: 4

Duration: 5

Creates aura that causes 2d4 damage.

−2/–4 to attack recipient.

Detect/Conceal Arcana:

Rank: Novice

Power Points: 2

Range: Sight

Duration: 3 (1/round) or 1 hour (1/hour)

Detect/conceal arcana allows a character to sense supernatural persons, objects, or effects within sight. This includes invisible foes, enchantments on people or items, Tesla Science devices, and so on. The power can also be reversed to conceal a single supernatural item, being, or effect. This has the same cost but the duration is 1 hour with a maintenance cost of 1 per hour. When used in this way those who wish to see through the ruse with detect arcana use their arcane skill roll as an opposed roll against the concealer's skill (rolled anew each time detect aracana is cast).

Dispel:

Rank: Seasoned

Power Points: 1

Range: Smarts

Duration: Instant

Dispel allows a hero to negate enemy spells, Tesla science, or gifted powers. It has no effect on a creature's innate powers or abilities. Nor does dispel work on magic items or permanent enchantments unless the specific item or enchantments says otherwise.

Dispel can be used on a power already in effect, and can also be used to counter an enemy power as it's being used. The later requires the countering caster to be on Hold and interrupt his foe's action. In either case, dispelling the opponent's power is an opposed roll of arcane skills. The dispelling character suffers a -2 modifier if the target power is another type (magic vs. Tesla Science, etc.)

Elemental Manipulation:

Rank: Novice

Power Points: 1

Range: Smarts

Duration: 5

Choose one particular element to control (the character may choose other elements as a new power). This allows him to perform basic "tricks" within his chosen element. The specific tasks that may be attempted depend on the element selected and are listed below.

Air: The caster can create lesser air currents to blow out a candle, fan a flame, lift a skirt, or cool his body in oppressive heat (+1 to a single Fatigue roll caused by heat).

Earth: A wave of the hand can open a 1-foot square hole in soft earth (or half that in stone), or cause a spray a sand that might blind an opponent (+1 to a Trick maneuver roll).

Fire: The caster can snap his fingers to create a small flame (about the size of a hot match). With existing fire, he can urge it to spread (+1 to see if a fire spreads), cause it to flare (perhaps as part of a Trick maneuver), or slowly light an object over the course of a few rounds (as if holding a match to it).

Water: The caster can conjure up to a pint of water somewhere within his sight (not “inside” objects or people). A wave of his hand also purifies one gallon of water, whether it be poisoned or simply salt-water. Those who have been poisoned within the last minute also get a second chance to resist any remaining effects.

Empathy

Environmental Protection:

Rank: Novice

Power Points: 2

Range: Smarts

Duration: 1 hour

This power allows posses to travel beneath the waves, in freezing cold, or other hazardous environments. Environmental protection allows the target to breathe, speak, and move at his normal Pace while underwater, in a vacuum, in the lava of a volcano or the baking desert heat, the frozen northern wastes, and so on. Pressure, atmosphere, air, etc., are all provided. Complete protection is offered only for background hazards. A fire attack, for example, causes normal damage even with environmental protection. A success is needed to enact the power. With a raise, the cost for maintaining the power is reduced to 1 Power Point per 2 hours (for that particular target).

Farsight:

Healing:

Rank: Novice

Power Points: 3

Range: Touch

Duration: Instant

Healing repairs recent bodily damage. It must be used within the “golden hour,” though, for it has no effect on wounds more than one hour old. For Wild Cards, each use of the healing spell removes a wound with a success, and two wounds with a raise. The roll suffers a penalty equal to the victim’s wounds (in addition to any the caster might be suffering himself). For Extras, the GM must first determine if the ally is dead (see Aftermath in the Savage Worlds rules). If so, no healing may be attempted. If not, a successful arcane skill roll returns the ally to the game Shaken. Healing can also be used to cure poison and disease if used within 10 minutes of the victim being afflicted.

Invisibility:

Rank: Seasoned

Power Points: 5

Range: Smarts

Duration: 5

Being invisible is a powerful aid in combat, and useful for spying on saloon gals as well! With a success, the character is transparent, but a vague outline is visible. A character may detect the invisible presence if he has a reason to look and makes a Notice roll at –4. Once detected, he may attack the foe (also at –4). With a raise, the character is completely invisible and the penalty is –6. In either case, the power affects the character and his personal items. Anything picked up after the power was cast remains visible.

This power is cast on a weapon of some sort. If it’s a ranged weapon, it affects one entire magazine, 10 bolts, shells, or arrows, or one full “load” of ammunition (the Marshal may have to determine the exact quantity for unusual weapons). While the spell is in effect, the weapon’s damage is increased by +2, or +4 with a raise

Sound/Silence:

Rank: Novice

Power Points: 1

Range: Smarts/ Smarts x5

Duration: Instantaneous / 5

Speak Language:

Rank: Novice

Power Points: 1

Range: Touch

Duration: 10 min (1/ 10 minutes)

This power allows a character to speak, read, and write a language other than his own. The language must be of an advanced form—not animalistic. A raise on the arcane skill roll allows the user to project a particular dialect as well.

Stun:

Rank: Novice

Power Points: 2

Range: 12/24/48

Duration: Special

Sometimes foes must be taken alive, or a hero might not want to kill unnecessarily. Stun shocks those within a Medium Burst Template with concussive force, sound, magical energy, or the like.

If the arcane character scores a success, targets within the area of effect must make Vigor rolls or be Shaken. With a raise, victims make Vigor rolls at –2.

Telekinesis:

Rank: Seasoned

Power Points: 5

Range: Smarts x2

Duration: 5

Telekinesis is the ability to move a single object or creature (including one’s self) with arcane will. The weight a caster can lift is equal to 10 lbs. times his Spirit die type, or 50 lbs. times his Spirit with a raise on the casting roll.

Lifting Creatures: If the target of the power is a living creature, it may try to resist the power with an opposed Spirit roll. If the Spirit roll is greater than the caster’s skill total, the creature is unaffected. If the creature loses, however, it is lifted as usual and does not get another attempt to break free.

Telekinetic Weapons: A caster can use telekinesis to wield a weapon. When this occurs, the weapon’s Fighting is equal to his arcane skill, and its damage is based on the caster’s Spirit instead of his Strength. A sword that does Str+d4 damage, for example, does Spirit+d4 when wielded by telekinesis. The weapon otherwise functions normally, including granting bonus damage when it strikes with a raise.

Dropping Things: Particularly ruthless characters often use telekinesis to drop their foes or bash them into walls and the like. A creature affected by this power can be moved up to the caster’s Smarts in inches per turn, in any direction. Dropped creatures suffer falling damage as usual.

Victims who are bashed into walls or other solid objects suffer the caster’s Spirit+d6 as damage.
