Normality stabilizes reality, suppressing effects and abilities that manipulate reality or spacetime. This includes most esper mutations, force fields, and teleportation.
'''Normality''', also known as reality stabilization, suppresses effects and abilities that manipulate reality or spacetime. This includes force fields, teleportation, and various [[Mental Mutations|mental mutations]].{{Code Reference|class=RealityStabilization}}


When under the effects of normality, the player will have the {{qud text|astrally tethered}} effect applied to them if completely restricted, or the {{qud text|astrally burdened}} effect if affected by a lower density of gas. These effects will also show in the 'look' view of other characters or creatures.
Normality can be caused by either {{favilink|normality gas}} or a projected {{favilink|normality field}}.


Normality can be applied by either a projected normality field, or by normality gas.
While under the effects of normality, creatures have the {{qud text|astrally burdened}} effect if affected by a lower-strength gas or field, such as a lower density cloud of normality gas, or the {{qud text|astrally tethered}} effect if completely restricted.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Effects|class=RealityStabilized}} These effects show up when looking at oneself or other creatures.


Sources of normality fields:
Normality-inducing phenomena can be nullified by a {{favilink|nullray pistol}}. For example, the pistol destroys normality gas.

==Contests==
 
When normality ''contests'' a process, if that process is generated by a mutation or similar inherent power, the person acting may be given the option to try to push through the normality lattice, and will be given an estimate of how likely they are to succeed. If they try and fail, they will be dazed for 1d6 turns unless they make a difficulty 20 Willpower [[save]]. NPCs attempt to contest normality if two prospective rolls against their ''estimated'' chance of prevailing are successful.
 
If the process is generated by a device, contesting automatically takes place, and if it fails the device will emit a shower of sparks that does 1d6 electrical damage to its user and consumes 10d100 charge from the device.
