User name: Isabelle

Name of Ability?
Super Saiyan

Ability Effects:
(Speed - Rank 4) 600E
Ongoing - 400E
Finite (-200E)
Chaotic (-200E)
(Endurance - Rank 4) 400E
Ongoing - 400E
Finite (-200E)
Chaotic (-200E)

Descriptor: The Legend! Super Saiyan is something that doesn't come very easily for members of the Zulenka family. This form of the transformation is a raw untrained version that saved Isabelle's life. Triggered by uncontrollable anger and a loss of self control, the onset of this power is premised with a sharp uptick in power output. Speed and Stamina are drastically increased. Isabelle's brown hair becomes golden and her one normal eye becomes teal in color; her pink iris is not affected by this transformation. Because of the untrained nature of this form it is chaotic in nature. Isabelle has little to no self control while transformed, seeing whatever triggered the transformation as the primary target and only concern. Super Saiyan draws from a different pool of energy and without training it is inherently unsustainable. Fighting in this form is inefficient and can often lead to flame outs, which is when Isabelle prematurely reverts to her normal form. If she is able to transform again it would be at a great cost.

Essence Cost: 1000

Staff Edit: Speed costs 200E per rank, so Speed 4 would actually be 800E. Also, Endurance has Ongoing by default, so you don't need to pay for it for that one. Unfortunately, that means one of the two Negative Modifiers on Endurance won't actually save you any Essence, as the cost per rank of an Effect can't be reduced below 50E. As such, you may want to remove one of those, or add an additional positive Modifier.

Essence Cost: 1000

Staff Edit: Approved.

Side-Note; You had the cost as 850E, but I've changed it back to 1000E, because as I said, the minimum cost is 50E per rank.

So because the Endurance Effect has 4 ranks, it can't be cheaper than 200E.
If you still want the Ability at this price then you're good.

Refunding two Abilities, Soulsticker and Light Crossbow. Total Essence refund of 350. I'll remove from my profile.

Ferengi Hand Phaser

Ability Effects:
Damage 4 (400)
--Ranged (400)
--Affects Multiple 1 (200)
--Removable (-200)
--Finite (-200)

Total Cost: 600E

Descriptor: Conrad carries a standard Ferengi phaser. This handheld weapon fires forced plasma beams of variable field size and intensity, which Conrad can adjust on the fly. While the phaser is capable of dealing lethal damage, Conrad prefers nonlethal methods and will usually opt to incapacitate enemies or utilize a variety of specialized beams (purchased as consumables) depending on the situation. The phaser can fire for about a minute on average, after which it takes a few moments for the gun to recharge

Name of Ability?
Pigment Manipulation

Ability Effects:
Concealment rank 1 - 100 essence
Modifiers:
Side effect (blinded) - -50 essence

Descriptor: Ridley is capable of changing his skin pigments similar to a chameleon. this allows him to completely blend into his surroundings, allowing him to literally hide in plain sight. While he can change his skin pigment, however, his bright, glowing orange eyes are not capable of shifting with the rest of his body, and as a result Ridley can only use this ability to hide with any form of effectiveness while keeping his eyes closed, effectively closing him off from any sort of visual stimuli until he is willing to show himself.

Essence Cost: 50

Staff Edit: You've said that this conceals him until he's willing to show himself, but without the Ongoing Modifier it isn't actually allowed to last longer than a few seconds.

Name of Ability?
Dark Tendrils

Ability Effects:
Damage 3(300)
Range: 5m - Duration: Active/Indefinite
Modifiers: Ongoing (300); Ranged (150); Concentration (-150); Side Effect(Halved movement speed while attacking)(-150)

Movement 1(Climbing; 100)

Move Object 3 (300)
Limited(Only on living objects)(-150)

Descriptor: A magical force used by only the Akame that mock the look of tentacles. These tendrils extend from the users back(Max 4) and work similar to a person's arm, however, they cannot effect non-sentient targets. They can be used to traverse great heights quickly as well. Dawn can activate/deactivate the tendrils at will, but they can be used indefinitely until she decides to put them away. The magic appears like an extremely blurred shadow that constantly vibrates aggressively.

Essence Cost: 600

Staff Edit:
I'm confused as to what you're trying to do here. Why is she able to use her tentacles to climb surfaces if they're only able to touch living things? And why does the Move Object Effect last only a few seconds while the Damage Effect is Ongoing? Based on the description, it sounds like those should be the other way around. Also, why can the tentacles attack distant targets but can't lift them?

Oh, and don't use the Single Ability Purchase form. The range and duration things are now redundant but no one's gotten around to fixing the form yet.

If you really want a range that short, I'd recommend taking Affects Multiple 1 instead of Ranged, as that allows you to attack as many people as you'd like in an up to 10ft radius area around your character (20ft diameter). Considering you're wanting 4 tentacles, I think that would suit them better.

I'm also not sure why the Damage Effect can harm non-living things but the Move Object can't touch them, and I'm not convinced that half speed while attacking is worth being considered a Side-Effect, since most people will be moving slowly while doing something else... especially since you're also claiming this requires Concentration.

It would maybe be best to discuss this Ability with someone on Discord or in the Ability help thread before re-submitting it for approval.

Ki Sense

Ability Effects:
Senses 1 (Ki Sense) (100)
+ Ongoing (100)
- Limited (Only on living) (50)

Descriptor: Orion can sense the ki, or inner energy, of all living things simply by searching outwardly with his mind without having to use any of his natural senses such as sight. However he can only detect the ki of living beings - undead, robotic or artificial ki is invisible to him, as are inanimate objects.

Essence Cost: 150

Staff Edit: Approved.

Name of Ability?
Spider Sense

Ability Effects:
Sense 1 (Danger) (100)

Descriptor: Spider-Man's suite of powers come with a unique ability - a predilection to sensing immediate danger to himself regardless of whether he is aware of it approaching. These usually come in momentary flashes of unease just before the event occurs, though it is up to Spider-Man to discern what the actual threat is. While his natural agility can often help him avoid the danger, it is not foolproof - while he can be warned, he doesn't always have the time or the luck to protect himself.

Essence Cost: 100

Staff Edit: Approved.

Sextuple Enfilade: Cherrywood Orbs of Desolation

Ability Effects:
Damage 6 (600)
--Indirect (600)
--Ongoing (600)
--Affects Multiple 3 (900)
--Concentration (-300)

Descriptor:
cherrywood-ball-template-kindlephoto-14523767.png
A set of six, half-foot-wide, varnished, cherrywood orbs, with arcane glyphs engraved all across their surfaces. As a result of these glyphs, the spheres are extraordinarily durable and are magically bound to Ahana in such a way that she is able to control them remotely with her mind (though this does require significant concentration).

Whilst being concentrated upon, the orbs can fly tremendously fast and can be manipulated at up to 30ft away from her body. As such, they make for fantastic weapons, in most cases being able to instantly kill a normal person in but a single strike. However, if any are ever outside of that 30ft distance, those ones will instantly revert to being inanimate objects until she is back within range to control them.

Whilst not being concentrated upon, the orbs can either remain inanimate objects, or (if they are within range) Ahana can cause them to hover in the air near her, following her around wherever she goes.

Essence Cost: 2400

Staff Edit: I'm inclined to say you're gonna have to take a rank of Ranged Move Object on this, with Limited on the orbs.

Pigment Manipulation

Ability Effects:
Concealment (sight) rank 1 (100)
Modifiers:
Ongoing (+100)
Concentration (-50)
Side effect: Blinded (-50)
Activated (-50)

Descriptor: Ridley is capable of changing his skin pigments similar to a chameleon. this allows him to completely blend into his surroundings, allowing him to literally hide in plain sight. While he can change his skin pigment, however, his bright, glowing orange eyes are not capable of shifting with the rest of his body, and as a result Ridley can only use this ability to hide with any form of effectiveness while keeping his eyes closed, effectively closing him off from any sort of visual stimuli until he is willing to show himself. Additionally, moving will reveal himself among his camouflage, as his skin cannot change colors fast enough, and the act requires a lot of concentration, preventing Ridley from doing anything else mentally taxing. it also takes roughly ten seconds of concentration and effort for Ridley to properly match whatever room he is in, limiting him from using it in the heat of the moment.

Essence Cost: 50

Staff Edit: Approved.

Mandalorian Vambrace

Ability Effects:
Move Object 2 [200]
  • Ranged [100]
  • Affects Multiple 1 [100]
  • Indiscriminate [-100]

Descriptor: Mandalorian vambraces were devices designed to combat the abilities of a Jedi. They came equipped with a repulsor, grappling line, paralyzing darts, a shield emitter and a flamethrower. As it stands, Nishana only has access to the repulsor.

Essence Cost: 300

Staff Edit: Approved.

Note: I've added a '1' after Affects Multiple, since it can be taken multiple times to increase the affected area. Doing this makes it clearer at a glance that you only have the lowest area (20ft diameter) purchased at the moment.

Feral Reflexes

Ability Effects:
Agility 1

Descriptor: Ridley is not known for his agility as much as his size and brutality, but the Space pirate is a natural-born fighter that's more flexible and quick on his feet than most give him credit for, allowing him to catch beings overly reliant on their speed by surprise with his reflexes.
