Bryan Shire- Surge

-Heightened physical state; (A character must post an application for this power to be able to use it on-server as of May 27th; 2010.)
Vindicators are granted the agility and strength to utilize a unique acrobatic form of melee combat exclusive to Vindicators, where they perform dexterous, athletic flips and jumps, as their combat style is devised to help dodge attacks alongside parrying them, as Vindicators have the strength to swing a weapon with notable speed and power.

This strength boost is very similar to that of a vampire, but the potential limit is much greater, ranging to Herculean-limits, but such a thing is such a rare oddity it's not worth considering yet.

-Magical Energy Manipulation; (A character must post an application for this power to be able to use it on-server as of May 27th; 2010.)
Surge is a different application of magic than Mystra's weave, and therefore a skilled user can use Surge to affect magic and magical devices. The two main applications of this power is stimulating magic, which controls it to the extent of activating it. This includes activating magical traps, or opening locks imbued with magic. The other application is disrupting magic, which affects and interferes with magic already in effect. This can be used to protect against spells, or to overload magical devices.

This is a Surge-user's most difficult power. The power is dangerous if the user is inexperienced on how energy manipulation works, and requires a developed connection to Surge. The only way a newly joined Vindicator would be able to use this power is if they are some sort of messiah in terms of magic.

-The ability to mask their own alignment, thoughts and ever so slightly, their powers;
Vindicators know that avoiding a fight is just as important as winning one, and during diplomatic work, sometimes it is best to keep the other party unaware of their true nature, as to prevent a fight based on any misunderstanding.

-The power of detecting loss of life, and magic;
Vindicators can nearly smell death, being able to pick up where a murder took place. Should an individual be directly responsible for many deaths, it would be easy for a Vindicator to notice. Magical detection comes naturally, of course.

-Summoning outward telekinetic energy the Surge Blast;
Gathering the powers of Surge enough to create a blast of outwards energy. Varying on the strength of the blast, it can be like a harmless knock back spell, to an explosion of devastating outwards force, powerful enough to severely damage even buildings. There are three methods of performing a Surge Blast, from least to most dangerous for the user. The first method is complicated, it being charging and preparing the blast beforehand, but such an act requires something to bind the Surge Blast to before release. The next would be to manually power and charge it seconds before release, but this requires that the person uses their arms and hands to form the ball of Surge, which appears as if the user is normally weaving a spell. This takes a minimum of two seconds, up to 12 seconds. Finally, there is the method of recklessly firing the Surge Blast from their arms, but without preparation, the more powerful the blast is, the more damaging it will be for the user. A great blast could tear and burn the flesh of the user's hands, and for a super powerful blast, could potentially break the bones of the user's arms.

Note: The Surge Blast is primarily an invisible force that pushes the victim back, but a skilled user could choose the direction of the blast for tactical purposes. The blast is powered by Surge, and therefore ignores resistances and immunities specified for normal or dark weave, instead of general magic resistances.
