Sechen ranges

 are the tendency for powers to vary in presentation given specific circumstances. The terminology relates to how in tune someone is with their powers at a given time.

Tattletale proposed the function was twofold; that it exists both as a defensive mechanism to keep a parahuman alive in an emergency and as a way to condition a parahuman to seek out the inevitably dangerous situations that improve what they can do with their power. This seems to be supported by academic research.

This functionality is still present in parahumans with 'dead' shards,  but if the trigger event is forced through a Cauldron Vial stress can damage the initial connection as the baseline for the trigger event generally did not feature an overtly stressful situation.
