Had a weird event tonight; my hero (the delinquent Escher) was trying to mess with a Psychic Commander, to loosen his control on his minions. Because he had power negation, we realized that this could trigger 3 different moves: Unleash your Powers, Provoke, or ‘Are you watching closely?’
What’re the differences between the three? Especially provoke and ‘Are you Watching’, which feels like a straight upgrade over the original power (same stat, slightly better results).
Deactivating someone’s powers with your powers seems like Unleash to me.
I’d say it could be any of the three depending on how he’s doing it.
If he’s just straight up severing the guys control of his minions in a fight, that’s Unleash.
If he’s got a plan where someone pretends to be under control but he uses his powers to shield them, that’s definitely “Are you watching closely?”.
If he’s got a friend who’s under control and he’s using his power to justify doing the whole “Talk them into breaking free” that…might be provoke? I think that’s the weakest example though.
So, look at the specific circumstances and the characters’ goals and tactics to help you decide.
Interesting topic here, afraid I don’t have much to add, but…

The Fictional Triggers are all really close though.
1. When you provoke someone susceptible to
your words
(Which lets you make them Err or do what you want )
2. When you mislead, distract, or trick someone
3.When you reshape your
environment, or overcome an obstacle [Via Illusions]
