I'm kicking around an idea that would -probably- work best as an advantage/perk in systems that support it, but could basically be done along the lines of a Figurine of Wondrous Power.
You see, I've been reading the early Shadow pulps now; (Thanks Razorfist!) and if you're familiar with the way he's handled in the pulps, The Shadow swoops in at the last moment, and is busy in the background figuring things out, while his agents do the day-to-day grunt work.
In gaming terms, Harry Vincent is the PC, and he has The Shadow ability on standby, he needs to burn an ability on 'cooldown' or an item with a limited number of charges. I'll be chewing on this idea, and come up with different versions of it for various rules sets.
