Explanation of powers and weaknesses:
- Maskshifting - a pooka can change shape by wearing different masks - difficulty is determined by the intended shape's difference from the pooka's form and mask
- Glamour - a pooka has three ancient rhymes to create a glamour (a mostly solid illusory form) - the first rhyme glamours themselves, the second glamours another person, the third glamours themselves and up to three other people. The third rhyme only lasts 10 minutes. The second rhyme lasts a day or until the other person successfully resists. The first lasts until the pooka chooses to change or until they are knocked unconscious.
- Sensory deceptions - a pooka can create an illusion for any sense by covering the part of their body that pertains to that sense (cover eyes to make visual illusions, cover hands for tactile ones, hold nose for olfactory ones, cover ears for auditory ones, and roll tongue for illusory tastes)
- Altering rhymes - a pooka can alter reality in small ways (change the color of something, or make a plant or fungus grow half an inch, or open a door, etc.) with rhyming couplets
- Malliamancy - a pooka can pluck their own hair and weave it to see the brief snippets of the future, though they don't always make sense. This only works with hair from their head, and only if they themselves plucked it. They can do this once a day.
- Cantrips - a pooka can create simple effects by throwing certain small objects on the ground; every pooka's objects are different. They can do this once per object per day. The effect activates once the object hits the floor/ground. If the object bounces, only the first hit causes the effect.
- Vanishing - a pooka can speak her true name into a mirror and vanish from view. While vanished, they can move through any wall or object that has no or very little iron in it. They cannot pick up anything that they were not wearing or carrying at the time, and anything they are carrying will also be insubstantial--thus, they cannot attack in this form--unless it is made of oneirium. If they remain vanished too long (longer than half a minute), they begin to forget their True Name. If they lose the mirror (if it leaves their person), they lose their True Name. If someone else gets the mirror, they will be enthralled by that person. To return to substantiality, they must speak their True Name backward into the mirror, to release it. If they forget their True Name, they slowly become visible again, but as a hag or boggin. They can vanish as often as they like, however.
- Circle of Salt - a pooka can place a circle of salt no larger than 10' in diameter on the ground. Anything within it will be protected from supernatural powers up to the strength of the pooka's WIL.
- Iron weakness - a pooka is weak to iron and steel, and other things with significant amounts of iron in it, including redsteel, living iron, dog-iron, coalsteel, foolsgold, trollsteel, kraman-infused iron. An iron horseshoe nailed over a door will prevent a pooka from passing through it, and being bound in any of these metals will prevent the pooka from using any powers. Being cut by any of these metals will cause more and permanent damage to the pooka.
- Faesteed summoning - a pooka can give three short whistles once a year to summon a faesteed. In such a futuristic era, this is not often used, and it's unlikely the Eidolon is very good at riding.
- Tobacco prejudice - tobacco smoke bothers most faeries. It's up to the player whether it bothers the Eidolon.
- True Name Weakness - if another person speaks a pooka's real name, the pooka must roll WIL vs. WIL to become enthralled.
