A perk is Not Enough to get a spell to work in a no-mana zone. The perk for low mana ... maybe.

You could call it an ultra-specialised version of Mana Compensation, allowing use in Low Mana.
No Mana is definitely right out.

How about Mana Enhancer (One Spell, Recover Energy, -80%)[10] -- not by any means a Perk, and probably requires a fair sized Unusual Background.

Conceptually, depending on what you think mana 'is', you could recharge while in a no-mana zone by having a non-mana dependent power that lets you reach mana someplace else. Or use Create (Mana). As long as the Power Modifier is not related to mana.

Or you could just spend 5 points and buy Fit.

Fit doesn't work with Magical/Psi FP recovery.

Now, a couple point Energy Reserve OTOH is a good deal as it effectively doubles the recovery rate of the first few points of FP and gives you some more Energy to cast spells with.

Immune to Feints - penalties that would acrue against the character due to a successful Feint maneuver by an opponent do not apply.

In what world is that a perk? Seriously? *Possibly* '+2 on the quick contest to defend against a Feint', but even that might be too good.

I'd hesistate on that as a 10 point Resistant/Immunity advantage. It's *way* overpowered for a Perk.

While resisting feints isn't exactly a major component of weapon skill, it's not a trivial one, and probably no smaller subset than some techniques, so 1 point per +1 to the contest/reduction of your opponent's success margin is about as cheap as I'd consider going.

Pet Peeve -- Similar to Higher Purpose, but with a much narrower goal. You have some minor bugaboo, such as the correct usage of an obscure word, the proper knot of a tie, or a hated familial nickname. In a situation where your peeve is relevant, you get +1 to appropraite skill rolls (such as to Public Speaking for a debate where you can nail your opponent on improper semantics.)

Very occasionally, this may prove to be useful in a more typical "adventuring" context, by initiating a burst of rage that applies the bonus to the next violent action taken. ("Don't call me Junior!") This can be called on no more than once per adventure, and possibly less frequently at the GM's discretion.
