2. That's because folks either missed it or didn't care about being wrong. (The former's where I fall, mea culpa.) Even deviceless, Vista using active magic would cause her to be less effective with her top-tier power.

And I believe the counterpoint to this was; just because she has access to magic, it does not mean that she is forced to use magic when parahuman power alone would be optimal.

[X] Close Encounters of the Third Kind – The Enforcers captured you then let you go with an apology, but you have to wonder just what in the world was really going on. Call up your friend the Admiral and grill him for a little more detail.
[X] Long Live the King, Part 2 – Hooray for internal power struggles! Right? …No? Okay. You don't have the political capital to sway this situation on your own, but everyone says what matters isn't what you know but who you know. Get Kurt, Alexander, and some others behind closed doors and see if that helps.
[X] Operation Slumberdome (Sleepover or other get together with Vista. Give her the new arm, offer to scan her for magic, watch some movies and talk about why boys are icky, or whatever supergirls do)
[X] Hang out with Perfect Storm, Samantha and Tim- discuss your recent findings about Galea.
 
Plan ALL THE SOCIAL!!!!!
[X] Tickets to Gangland

My layout is more like:
Main 1: Ticket to Gangland (Sit with Vista and "gather information" about incoming capes. Oh, and do some actual info gathering too. Offer a scan after it's all over.)
Main 2: CEotTK (Convene with PS about revelations made last time we interacted with TSAB, maybe other things. Possibly set up assistance training Epoch and Maclibuin. Have Dragon on the line for actual conversation, and convene about raiding the hoard afterwards.)
Social 1: Deal with Epoch and Maclibuin (Possibility of training and social with Enforcers.)
Social 2: Raid the Dragonslayer Base (Bring Tim along as well, set up for LLTK next week as well as start setup for Unifying Dragon.)

No, I'm in full agreement with that. We just need to convince her that her powers are great, and that she can have them and magic with study and practice.

Hrm. I don't know why she'd try to pull powers and skills she hasn't mastered sufficiently into a fight, the sort of thing that would make her less effective... But if you think it'd throw her off that much, I guess I'll leave it be.

Do remember that a parahuman's power is constantly reminding them of their trigger trauma, and with Vista's being her parents and them now being dead...

I'm just saying, I wouldn't be surprised if she'd exchange her Shard abilities for a Device if the option was presented to her, and while I agree that Spatial Warping is pretty useful tactics-wise, I just found the alternative more appealing in a narrative way.

Yes, ish. I want to do this right, and that means giving them a cool down period with actual impetus to cool down.

I don't have any specific, direct evidence against this... but why do you think the TSAB will agree to do this? They are virulently into non-interference.

I look at them the same way I do the Adepts: An unpleasant responsibility that we can't shirk. Like a job.

No it does not, you don't want to go there.

[X] Tickets to Gangland, Part 2 – The immigrant gang issues are worse than you first thought, to the point there are rumors that the Protectorate is calling in reinforcements. Lo and behold, they're soon to hold a press conference. Check it out and see if it's anyone you know.

And I'd like it if people actually remembered the WOG. So it's not 'narrative', it's a bad idea.

Vista's been doing the heroing thing for a few years already, and she does have a brain in her head. You can trust her not to be an idiot.

Besides, if she were to have a Linker Core, I already know what spell she would want hands-down no questions asked, and it doesn't even interfere with her shard ability. :)

... She wants a Guardian Beast, doesn't she?
 
I actually think she'd want a Barrier Jacket. Not active magic, and it would help her a lot.
She has gotten hurt pretty badly in the past while fighting villains, after all.
