Passive Effects
Passive Effects for Common Magic are unique to each School of Powers:
Mana Power Passives
Applies to Manna powers only NOT Null Powers
Arcane Capacitance
- All Tier2 and higher powers add a stack of Arcane Capacitance when successfully cast
- The stack can be consumed (as an instant) at any time to add +1dam/+2hit per stack to the next power
Null Power Passives
Volatile Powers
- All Null Powers are considered Volatile Powers
Acclimation
Null powers accumulate negative spirit energy with every cast, becoming less and less effective.
For each Volatile Null energy stack:
- increase base Miscast chance by +5%
- apply -5 to hit modifier
- increase Spirit cost of all powers by 1

Resize | yes | 223 | Arcane | Common | Mana | Alteration | 2 | 10 | Transmute | action | 8 | Can shrink or grow the size of a single target (creature, weapon, armor piece, or item) that is corporeal and non magical, and either inorganic or non-living. If the target is somehow capable of moving on its own, any significant movement cancels the effect. Otherwise, the effects are permanent unless dispelled or a command phrase is given. Traces of the magic remain permanently detectable while resized. The target cannot shrink or grow if there is restricted space to do so (i.e. cannot shrink a helm to crush a skull or grow a foundation stone to burst a damn), this includes returning to it original size (i.e if resizing an immobilized zombie, placing it in a sealed box, then allowing movement, it would not return to its original size unless removed from from the box). • Tier 2: shrink or grow by 1 size • Tier 3: shrink or grow by up to 2 sizes • Tier 4: shrink or grow by up to 3 sizes |
Transmute alters the physical form and/or properties of the target, granting various effects |
Mage, Battlemage, Wizard, Druid, Assassin, Runeweaver |
Mana Rain | yes | 268 | Arcane | Common | Mana | Alteration | 3 | 10 | Channel | action (uninterrupted) | 12 | The caster causes a spiritual rain to fall within a large cylindrical area of effect in a 4" radius around the target point, where the height up or down from the target point is equal to the radius of the cylinder • LoS is required for the target point, however the area of effect can hit targets out of LoS • all targets (friend or foe) receive 3d6 Spirit at the end of their turn, provided they end their turn at least partially covered by the area of effect • outside of combat, must be channeled in 1 hour increments |
Channel Effects persist for 1 full round, typically inflicted at the beginning of the turn of any effected targets. May continue casting in consecutive rounds if paying 10% of the full spirit cost with no casting roll required, provided the caster is not interupted and did not move. • while channeling the caster counts as being Vulnerable • if the channeled power causes CC effects of some kind, it is assumed that they are one continuous CC effect • if used outside of combat the duration of the effect varies depending on the power but is immediately cancelled if the caster is interrupted or moves |
Mage, Battlemage, Wizard, Druid, Assassin, Runeweaver |
Ley Lines | yes | 511 | Arcane | Common | Mana | Alteration | 4 | 10 | Reveal | instant | 15 | reveals the presence of any spiritual ley lines that may exist nearby (15" radius around caster) for 1 hour per Tier of the Caster • ley lines are aligned with a single Domain (i.e. Arcane, Elemental, or Natural) • caster may choose to illuminate them for everyone, or only for themselves • while standing within a ley line casters gain +5 spell damage and powers cost 25% less, within the corresponding Domain |
Reveal reveals hidden mysteries of the spirit world, allowing the caster and/or allies to exploit this knowledge |
Mage, Battlemage, Wizard, Druid, Assassin, Runeweaver |
Draining Hex | yes | 355 | Arcane | Common | Mana | Alteration | 5 | 6 | Hex | instant | 12 | Doubles the cost of any skill or power. For skills or powers that do not have a cost or for creatures that don't consume resources to use skills or powers, instead restricts the use of those skills to either an instant or an action only. • consuming the hex causes the target to immediately gain 2 stacks of Exhaustion |
Hex A spell that imposes negative effects on a single target and remains in play for up to one hour unless dispelled or consumed. Does not require LOS however, the caster must be able to picture the target in their mind • Consuming a hex can be triggered at will as an instant for the affected target on their own turn • The caster may force the Hex to be consumed as an reaction in subsequent rounds, however this requires a successful casting roll against the target • Consuming a Hex immediately ends its effects, but causes additional consequences • If a Hex is consumed it cannot be recast on that target for 1 hour |
|
Mana Field | yes | 420 | Arcane | Common | Mana | Alteration | 5 | 15 | Environment | action | 15 | saturates a 15" radius area with mana • ALL spirit powers within that area cost half as much to cast (friend or foe) |

Mage, Battlemage, Wizard, Druid, Assassin, Runeweaver |
Wondrous Portal | yes | 475 | Arcane | Common | Mana | Alteration | 6 | 20 per 1" radius | Portal | action | 3 | In its simplest form a Wondrous Portal is a temporary two-way portal between any unoccupied space within 15 feet of the casters physical location and a second unoccupied location that they can picture in their mind. Once opened, anything can pass through it however the portal only remains open if the caster maintains conscious concentration and closes once the caster passes through it or decides to end the spell. If a wondrous portal is connected to a physical gateway, door, or other such object on each end it establishes a reusable portal called a waygate. Provided the waygates remain intact, this connection is permanent and can be activated by anyone with knowledge of it after paying the appropriate spirit cost. • If three or more Waygates are connected together into a network, it creates a pocket dimension of interconnected paths known as a waypath. In theory an infinite number of waygates may be connected in this manner however the more connected waygates there are to a waypath, the larger the theoretical space of the waypath becomes. Complex waypath systems can develop ecosystems unto themselves, but the number of connections grow they become increasingly perilous to maintain and navigate. Complex waypaths often include a system of dials, switches, gems, or runes to assist in navigation. |
Portal Always Tier 7. Portal magic varies greatly by School but typically must be anchored to one or more fixed locations • after initially being cast/used the portals typically dissapear unless tethered to a physical location/object, in which case they instead become dormant • once dormant, portals can typically be re-activated by any spirit user (regardless of Tier) that knows the portal exists, simply by speaking a command word and paying the spirit cost for the portal power • the size of the opening is typically dictated as a 1" radius per 20 spirit used to cast the power and anything larger than this cannot pass through • portals do not typically have a suctioning effect of any kind and matter must be moved, pushed or thrown into it • some portals may also require a physical key, magical object, specific incantation, word of power, or passphrase to activate |

Binding conjures a physical restraint of some kind that applies crowd control effects to a target(s) in LoS • one target/Tier or one round/Tier or mix of both (i.e. a Tier 4 Binding power could affect one target for four rounds, or two targets for two rounds, or four targets for one round) • outside of combat treat duration as hours not rounds • typically damage will break the effect • casters may elect to only bind certain parts of the target, such as leaving the legs unbound so that a prisoner can be forced to walk on their own |

Illusion Conjures a visible illusion that lacks true physical characteristics. Upon successfully casting, any creature that relies on conventional sight as its primary source of perception will believe the illusion to be real if the casting value is greater than their mental resistance. • illusions can't directly influence physical matter, nor can they inflict any kind of damage or effects • last for the duration of battle or 1 hour out of combat unless otherwise dispelled or destroyed • dispel resistance is equal to the original casting value of the illusion • if there is evidence to suggest that the illusion might not be real, creatures may pass a Wisdom or Perception test to see through the illusion and therefore not be affected by it in anyway • GMs may choose to add advantage or disadvantage modifiers to these rolls depending on the situation. |

The magic hand is roughly the same size as the casters hand and can be used to complete simple tasks that a normal hand could, such as open a door, administer a potion, or stow/retrieve/carry items. The hand has no HP and cannot be targetted in the conventional sense. Where necessary, use the casters agility stat. • At Tier 1: the hand cannot attack in any way and may only carry up to Medium items • At Tier 2: the hand can make a simple unarmed attack that inflicts 1 physical and 1 arcane damage, as well as carry up to Medium items • At Tier 3: the hand can attack with a weapon (using the casters combat modifiers) or use Focus based Fist attacks as per its caster, as well as carry up to Large items |

This process renders the components inert, worthless, or otherwise mundane (i.e. crumbles to dust, or melts away). • At Tier4 this can used in combination with a dispel to disenchant a weapon, armor, or item to capture loose spirit from the components that would have been used for that enchant. |
