Sentry 616 wrote:  -Name:Suppressor

 -User(s): Kanach Bush

 -Type: Glyph

 -Purpose: Utility

 -Short description: reduces noise and light to potentially negligible levels

 -Activation Cue:

 -Range: Medium

 -General limitations: blocking light requires darkening the otherwise transparent glyphs, reduction is relative to original levels: suppressed gunshot will be louder than suppressed twig snap

 -Active ability: Tier One: glyphs greatly reduce noise (relative to natural volume)

 -Active ability: Tier Two: blocks sudden flashes of light

 -Active ability: Tier Three: can reduce sound to below audible levels (disproprtionately high Aura cost)

 -Active ability: Tier Four reduces light to below visible levels

 -Notes: ideal for its stealthy user Tier Two seems rather situational since it applies only when such brief flashes of light occur, correct? I mean, if the OC's in a lightning storm, or sneaking around a military base with spotlights this might be useful, but it doesn't seem as usable as the first tier power in most situations. And does Tier Four have a higher Aura cost than Tier Three? I think there should be a limitation on that one at least.
