Passive Skills

Source	Skill Name	Details
Proficiency	Armor Proficiencies	Cloth
Proficiency	Weapon Proficiencies	Knives, Swords, Staves, Wands
Proficiency	Languages	Common, Draconic, Elven, Giant, Aquan
Racial	Industrious	Humans are exceptionally hard working and gain an additional secondary skill point at character creation, and again at level 5, 10, 15, and 20
Class	Spiritual Authority	Consuming a code returns 0.5 spirit/lvl and any time a spell causes a critical hit automatically gain an extra code stack; all Natural spirit costs are reduced by 10% (rounded up to 1 but never reducing costs below 1)
Title	Spirit Echo	if spirit powers were used in a given combat, 25% chance that after the given combat has ended you will gain back 1d12+Intellect Spirit points
Spirit	Water Damage	All direct damage caused by Water Powers is treated as magical damage that uses Elemental Resistance and inflicts Impact or Crushing Injuries
Spirit	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.
Volatile	Volatile Powers	Volatile Powers are spirit powers that are inherently unstable and become increasingly so the more they are used. While typically more powerful than non-volatile spirit powers, they are risky to wield, and often inflict damage and other negative side effects to the caster. Volatile powers are recommended for advanced players only. The following rules apply to ALL volatile powers: +5% Miscast and Critical Cast chance; After a Volatile power is cast, regardless of success or failure, add one stack of Volatile spirit energy matching the school of the power; On critical failure: in addition to standard effects, caster takes 1d6 damage per Tier, remove all Volatile stacks; On critical cast: in addition to standard effects, caster takes 1d12 damage per Tier (NOT doubled), add an additional Volatile stack; Volatile stacks will have different 'per stack' effects applied depending on the school of power; A Tier0 instant 'Venting' power can be used remove all Volatile stacks; If no Volatile power is used for a round, 1 stack will automatically drop off
Volatile	Deep Cold	The continued use of volatile frost powers puts the caster into a state of Deep Cold, increasing the chances of both critical casts and miscasts. 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).

Level Up	Spirit Specialist	Fortification	Refresh	2	Any time a Fortification power is dispelled or consumed or runs its course it can be immediately refreshed on the target (without costing an instant or action), provided the caster is conscious, can pass an Intellect test and pays the spirit cost
