Crush Dreams
When Used
If Nova Recovery is still active:
You're still pretty worn out from last time you tried something like that.
If used against Robots, without Electronic Understanding:
Wait... are these they guys that dream of electronic sheep or is that someone else? Probably best not to risk it.
If used against Electronic Robots, with Electronic Understanding:
You reach through your talisman and crush your foe's dream of electronic sheep. It cries a single motor oil tear.
Wow. It'll be a bit before you can do that again. You gain an effect: Nova Recovery. (Added for 120 minutes.)
If used against Positronic Robots, with Electronic Understanding:
You reach through your talisman and crush your foe's dream of positronic sheep. It cries a single motor oil tear.
Wow. It'll be a bit before you can do that again. You gain an effect: Nova Recovery. (Added for 120 minutes.)
If used against enemies with psychic immunity:
You try to reach through your talisman to crush your foe's dreams, but they're too well hidden for that.
If used against enemies with psychic resistance:
You reach through your talisman and crush your foe's psychic defenses. You didn't quite get to their dreams, but that should help out.
Wow. It'll be a bit before you can do that again. You gain an effect: Nova Recovery. (Added for 120 minutes.)
Otherwise:
You reach through your talisman and crush your foe's dreams. They ignore you in favor of their pending existential crisis.
Wow. It'll be a bit before you can do that again. You gain an effect: Nova Recovery. (Added for 120 minutes.)
