Description:
This is merely a mechanical representation of Blackjack's luck. It does not truly exist, and cannot be perceived save perhaps indirectly by a person with probability detection -- and even then it would be perceived as a nascent probability potential inherent to Blackjack.

If Dispels to protect oneself are not allowed as Abortable Actions, Hold actions and use them to Dispel or other wise disrupt anything not in Blackjack's best interests.
Try to time Misfortune Upon Thee to coincide with ongoing events to make it seem like luck
In general with Blackjack it is better to resolve mechanical outcomes first and then figure out some chain of events to explain it.

POWERS & SPECIAL EFFECTS
Jack's subconscious probability manipulation is extremely powerful and is able to have a very real but extremely subtle effect upon Jack's environment. Among other things powers, abilities, and objects have a tendency to just not work correctly or at all if a malfunction is in Jack's best interests (Bad [Freak\|Mutie\|Techie\|Wizzo]). People have also been known to become extremely clumsy and accident prone around Jack (Left Feet and Bad Breaks, Probability Field). People also tend to trip, drop things, misplace items, have hinges get stuck, doors slam, and take unexpected falls around Jack when it is in his best interests (Luck Works In Mysterious Ways). Physical Objects that are seemingly strong inexplicably break or crack (Lucky Break), and things often seem to accidentally interpose themselves between Jack and his attackers, and similarly attackers often have difficulties lining up shots correctly (Lucky Aegis). And of course things are always seemingly falling on people's noggins and unexpectedly knocking them out, enemies take bad falls and get KO'd, and allies seem to get in lucky shots that really ring an opponent's bell (Misfortune Upon Thee), Each use of all of these Powers costs a single Luck Point from Blackjack's Luck Pool (which is shared between characters). In addition to these effects, there are several powers that exist for sheerly mechanical reasons to correctly model the Luck Form effect, and several others that serve to keep the Luck Form synched up closely with the main character for conceptual reasons and ease of use. The Luck Favors the Lucky Elemental Control contains the Blackjack Tether, which effectively keeps the Luck Form anchored to Blackjack -- when Blackjack moves or get moves the Luck Form gets tagged along, for better or worse. The Probability Movement ability allows the Luck Form to reposition to anywhere within 4" of Blackjack (the length of the tether) and to go the full diameter of its reach in one Full Move. Lucky Intuition allows the PER Check info made by the Luck Form to be relayed to Blackjack, who just "happens to notice" things as a consequence. Numerous Powers simply model the idea that the Luck Form does not truly exist and is not a sentient, living entity conceptually (Doesnt Exist, Karmic Mitigation, Lucky Avoidance, Lucky Nonexistance.). The Luck Form generally should not be seperated from Jack by normal means -- the Clinging used could be considered to be an Absolute Effect. However if the Luck Form were to become untethered from Blackjack by some means the Luck Form would have to make constant moves towards Blackjack assuming it can determine his location. If it is somehow prevented from reaching Blackjack (if he were in another dimension for instance), the Luck Form would lose 1 BODY each hour without recovery. If the Luck Form ever expires or is "killed" by damage, then Blackjack must replace his Duplicate in the normal fashion; a custom adventure of some sort would be very appropriate. If Jack is ever deprived of his Luck Form, since he doesn't conceptualize the Luck Form as an entity (because it isn't one), all he can tell is that he seems to have hit a patch of bad luck.
