Flux
Fold-adjacent nootropic.
Prototype nootropic developed by Asset Realisation from trace Fold-reactive compounds. Grants limited precognitive awareness: +4 initiative, +2 Reflex saves, and +2 Perception for 5 minutes. The user perceives fractional timeline overlaps (ghost-images of actions about to happen). Crash causes reality dissociation (-3 Will saves, -2 Intelligence) for 2 hours as the brain rejects the Fold-adjacent data. Each dose requires a DC 19 Fortitude save; on failure the user develops Flux dependency (persistent timeline bleed, sees ghost-images of alternate actions, -2 Will when clean). Archotech-tier, restricted to Asset Realisation test subjects and sanctioned precogs.
