Ink Manipulation

Ink Manipulation(minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The character can control printed text and ink illustrations at will.

1.Smear Ink: The character can cause a targeted letter or book in range to become unreadable. this occurs whether or not the the ink is "permanent," if the object is laminated, or if the object is behind glass or other barriers.

Range: 20 feet, plus 5 feet per level

Duration: Instant and permanent

Attacks: Uses one melee attack/action to smear ink

Limitations: This power does not affect engravings, stiched on lettering, or any other writing not done in ink. The power will also not penetrate force fields. If the ink in question is a tattoo, the victim having the tattoo can save (14 or better, ME bonus applies) to keep the ink from being pulled from his skin. If failing the save, having the ink removed will do 1d4 damage to the target.

He must be able to read the text to do this, and the power has the same penetration and limiting factors as Smear Ink. A writing skill check (+10%) must be made each time this power is used. The hero also reads at an accellerated rate.
