Water Magic in the Realm of Strife is the manifestation of the spiritual energy of the Realm of Stillness. Water magic innately seeks order, flowing through and around the turbulent nature of creation, to find the calmest and most stable of paths. This grants properties of aiding and healing that are far above the capacity of most other magics and as such Water Powers are often associated with peace and tranquility. However this should not be confused as weakness. If required Water Powers are quite capable of exerting immense forces, drawing on a depth of power that mortals cannot truly fathom.
If Water Magic has a weakness, it is found in how fiercely it seeks order, for stillness and calmness are the ultimate forms of order. When water becomes truly still it ceases to move all together and becomes ice. While Frost Powers are the result of Water Powers achieving perfect stillness, they carry with them a volatility that cannot be ignored. Frost powers sap the energy and life out of their surroundings, all the while expanding in razor sharp crystalline structures that are as beautiful as they are deadly. The volatile endothermic energy of Frost powers should never be handled lightly for it carries with it the ability to end all life itself in its mindless drive towards perfect order and stillness.
Passive Effects
Passive Effects for Water Magic are unique to each School of Powers:
Water Power Passives
Applies to Water powers only NOT Frost Powers
Water Damage
- All direct damage caused by Water Powers is treated as magical damage that uses Elemental Resistance and inflicts Impact or Crushing Injuries
Water Pressure
- After casting 4 Water powers in a row, the next water power cast has the casters choice of EITHER reducing the spirit cost by 20 (effectively making any power that costs 20 or less free) OR gaining +15% Critical Cast chance. The Water Pressure effect is then consumed.
Frost Power Passives
Volatile Powers
- All Frost Powers are considered Volatile Powers
Deep Cold
The continued use of volatile frost powers puts the caster into a state of Deep Cold, increasing the chances of both miscasts and critical casts. Remaining in this state too long will cause the caster to freeze solid.
- When 4 or more stacks of Volatile Frost energy are present on the caster, gain +15% to BOTH Critical Cast & Miscast
- Upon reaching 8 stacks, the caster is frozen, and remains so for 2 rounds (unless dispelled or shattered)

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 |

Counts as either a main hand or off-hand Non-Physical attack, but if used as an off hand attack the main hand can only be a regular weapon attack. If using a weapon in two hands Shocks can still be cast with the off hand if no attack was made with the weapon that round • targets can add dodge to resistance roll • ward-offs apply • can be combined with a main hand Focus skill but doing so prevents using any kind of off hand attack or kick, and follows the Combat rules for Combined attacks. |

Forking Stream | yes | 449 | Elemental | Water | Water | Devastation | 4 | 11 | Multi | action | 24 | fires a powerful stream of water that forks each time it hits a target, resulting in up to 4 individual streams which allows for multiple targets and a limited capacity to move around obstacles. The initial stream inflicts 4d8 water damage and a 4d4" knock back to a single target. For each new fork the dice pool available to that stream is cut in , therefore the initial 4d8 damage/4d4" knock back stream becomes two separate 2d8 damage/2d4" knock back streams, which can each then be further forked into 1d8 damage/1d4" knock back streams • each stream cannot deviate more than 90 degrees from the target that casued the fork • in all cases there is no immediate knock down effect, unless causing collision damage |
Multi Fires multiple projectiles where LoS is required on each target • can't cast on targets in base contact • targets can add Dodge to Resistance • use a seperate casting roll for each target, however any Miscast(s) does not prevent the other rolls from succeeding (effectively done simultaneously) |

It originates from a target point within 12" of the caster and moves in any direction they choose. Targets caught in the effect are automatically hit as elemental resistance is ignored however, they can resist the effects of the avalanche if passing a stamina test at a base -15 disadvantage with size modifier further applied as advantage or disadvantage. Any target that fails, as well as any loose objects, are knocked straight back until reaching the end length of the Avalanche. affected targets that fail a Dodge test are also knocked down and immbolized until they can be freed by their allies • while Immobilized targets suffer -5 Elemental Resist and may be subject to suffocation if their heads are buried (GM descretion) • each round spend channeling increases the length of the Avalanche by 5" as does combining the spell with a natural avalanche, further pushing targets whether immbolized or not • accumulated snow and ice persist after the channelling ends, but melt twice as fast due to heat or environmental factors • the area affected by Avalanche counts as difficult ground until fully melted • targets that are huge or larger may attempt a stamina test to resist being pushed by the avalanche • each channeling lasts for 10 seconds outside of combat |
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 |

The pool of water can then be stirred to activate, allowing anyone or anything that steps into it to travel to that set location. This connection remains until the pool is drained or completely refreshed with new water. | 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 |
