Akira Bike (Level 3)

By Stephen Esdale, for the Animagicians tradition.

Arete: 3

Quintessence: 20

This was the first Talisman made by the Animagicans (specifically Yuki Katsumi), created first and given the magical effects by Naori Kochiya, her SoE mentor. It was later given to the "Akira" Mage group (specifically to Kaneda, its leader) in exchange for a level 5 library. The Bike has two Time effects centred upon it: Time 3 effect allows the user to slow down time, while they stay at the same speed. This allows a boost of speed when need, as well as unparalleled maneuverability. The Time 2 effect allow the user to see future hazards on the roadway long before they arrive. Finally, the Correspondence 1 effect allows the driver accurately judge the distance between the bike any other location chosen.

The Coincidental effects are built into the bike. Two spring-loaded doors in the back contain fake "Rocket thrusters", actually magnesium flares, for the Time 3 effect. A complex Anime HUD connected to a "Cross-Orbital Satellite Tracking And Road Monitoring System; COSTARMS for short) provides the two other effects.
