Lens

Lens: [Minor - tentatively] by Iczer

'Let me clear this image up a bit for you.'

The character has the ability to form a shield made from local water vapour and force. Such a shield may be from 2-3 inches cross to 3 feet across +1 foot per level. This shield is pathetically weak, posessing 4 SDC per level, but functions as a lens, allowing the following abilities:

• Microscopic sight. by acting to magnify close in objects, the lense can be used to examine like a weak microscope (100 power initially, plus 100 power every odd level)
• Telescopic. The same technique as above bt applied differently. by shaping this lens, the character can extend his sense of sight, allowing him to make out faces at a mile, plus one mile at levels 3,5,7,9,11,13 and 15.
• Refract light: by interposing this shield in front of him, the character can refract lasers. this auto parry (made at +4) against lasers can cause a striking laser beam to drop to 1/3rd damage.
• Correct vision: the character can correct his own vision (short of restoring any form of blindness). by enhancing his vision in this way he adds +2 to perception checks involving sight.
• Focus beams: The character can use the lens to focus the rays of powerful light into a weak heat ray or laser. such a beam would be usefull for cutting rope, but not anything stronger and would be too weak to use in combat. when paired with a real laser weapon (or EE: light) the character can add either 15% to range or damage by using the lens to focus the beam.
• See around corners. by flexing the lens and making one side thicker, he can use it to peek around corners. he can also use this to bend lasers around a corner as well (though at -2 to strike)
• Special Optical properties: The lense can be imbued with any of the creators other vision powers. if thus is the case, then the character does not posess the vision power himself, but any lens he creates may. (at the players option)

Duration: The shield is lightweight and easy to create. It takes no action to form a single shield, and it lasts until dispelled. If the lens is made big enough, anyone can use it. (A 5 foot wide lens provides the benefits of the above power to anyone who can see it)
