It seems that Kinetic Blast is a spell designed for Yoon, yet it has a Arcane and Perception check (which is the Psychic spell template) rather than the Arcane and Fortitude check. Is this intended? Yoon doesn't have Perception, so she's worse at using this than Erasmus.
Do we really want boons to be designed for specific class, adventure of even worse character?
Seems the best way to make them non-reusable.
Just asking...

I had this same question in another thread concerning psychic cards in the other Occult Adventures deck. Amusingly you even called this a "Psychic spell template", but even the Psychic character herself doesn't have the Perception skill. I understand that these cards need to be made usable by the other characters in their deck. I don't like the idea that the other characters are better at using these cards than the characters who they were designed for in the first place. But whatever the reason may be, they made it clear it was intended (or at least they're aware of it and have no intention of changing it).

This is a spell in Occult Deck 2, correct?
I would recommend you look again at Yoon that comes in that deck. It might not work well with Yoon from Mummy's Mask, but it should work fine with the version in Occult 2, from what I understand.
Given that MM Yoon doesn't really use spells and OA2 Yoon has both Arcane and tricks, everything seemed fine in testing. YMMV
The Perception and Fortitude riders are largely by trait, fwiw. Kinetic Blast certainly could have gone a different way (and/or had a different name), but didn't, and should work just fine.

I don't think zeroth_hour2 was saying it didn't work at all. I believe he was making the same point I was about Rivani. The spells are usable by them since they both have arcane. But the spells (and other cards) become better for those who have the perception skill, which unfortunately is everyone except the characters who are supposed to be the best at using those particular cards.
It was just an odd design choice that makes it seem like it was more of an oversight than actual intention. Nothing is broken here. There's just some lost flavor.
The OA Iconics Erasmus and Meligaster have it natively. Rivani has Arcane and can get Perception using a power. Mavaro doesn't have Arcane natively but he can gain the skill if an Arcane spell is on the top of his deck.
