Minor Magic [-1]
Magical talent is primarily gained through maternal bonds, but what about the paternal bonds? In some people whose fathers have gross magical talent, a faint spark of magic appears.
Minor Rituals: You can use rituals with 5 shifts or less of effect
Minor Evocation: You can create evocations from any element of 1 shift or less

A young (by which I mean under 12) sorcerer created these spells, his mind fixated on his favorite children's card game. When his parents don't buy him the latest toys or cards, he conjures these effects. Who knows how far it will go? If no one stops it that is.

I killed one, but I have a rule, only kill for story purposes and always allow for a choice (in this case, the woman he loved, or himself), not just due to bad rolls or tactics. The results were a quite emotional funeral scene for the character.

A: I dont know.
The end (see the stat blocks of any monster with toughness in Our World)

« on: December 23, 2010, 03:21:21 PM »Is the player's guide supposed to be community group-think/opinion? Or is it based strictly on the RAW and/or Word of Jim(/Fred)?
With the exception of a WoJ, I would like to see the player's guide as an opinion neutral document. Just as there may be many GMs who think that such and such is unfair/broke/etc, there may be others that think otherwise. Could we leave the opinions out of the guide?
Can you provide examples of the opinions you're referring to, as I've gone through most of it and found nothing that seems to be an opinion to me?

This is a little something I'm cooking up for a blind wizard in my home game:
See Through The Haze
Type: Spirit evocation, defensive maneuver
Power: 4 shifts
Target: Caster
Duration: Two exchanges
Effect: This maneuver counters the aspect "Wizard P.I Without an Eye" for two exchanges
Freeze
Type: Fire evocation, Offensive Block
Power: 6 shifts
Target: 1 creature within the zone
Duration: Three exchanges
Effect: This is a block: 4 vs. movement as the opponent is engulfed in Ice.
Electrify
Type: Fire evocation, Offensive Attack
Power: 6 shifts
Target: One Zone
Duration: One Action
Effect: this spell creates an arc of lightning attacking all creatures within the target zone with an Attack: 4
Notes: This power taps the "Destruction" spiritual connection to fire
More to come

For all these zombies, where the catch is unknown, couldn't you just put: holy items and the like? What about salt?

While working on a spell for a warden in my group this morning, I realized that we don't have a cutom spell thread (for either evocations, or thaumatgury), so I figured I'd make one. I'll start us off, with the spell I made for the warden:
Ressurection
Type: Thaumaturgy, Necromancy
Complexity: 60 (the cost of restoring a 4 stress character who's used all their consequences * 2.5 to represent the difficulty to raise the dead)
Duration: Permanent
Effect: The target is brought back to life, although they must change their high concept to something that reflects their time in death.
