Rumors & Tendencies

There are a variety of local rumors about NAME:

• X
• X
• X

Art of Divination

• Initiation: Add your Knowledge ranks to all Awareness test totals, as you are adept as interpreting tiny signs and omens even when not using divinatory magics directly.
• Ritual Timing: Alignment and Invocation stages can be done faster or slower.
  • Gain +3 Difficulty for every 25% reduction in time.
  • Gain -3 Difficulty for every 50% increase in time.

Casting

• A Working that reveals the future of a target.
• Resonance: Must either have something that belongs to target of spell, or have target present for casting.
• Self-Targeted: Using either of these effects for oneself adds a +6 to the Difficulty.

The Glimpse Ahead (Spell)

Price: 1 Spent • Test: Awareness, Difficulty 6-15 (secret, based on upcoming events in character's life)

• Every casting grants information - the more degrees of success, the more accurate.
• Success may grant simply information (which can be leveraged into a floating +1B to use in the future), or it may result in the gaining of a "phantom" Destiny which can be spent concerning the target.

The Unfolding Path (Ritual)

Price: 1 Spent

• Alignment: Knowledge (Dif 6), 10 minutes.
  • Each degree of success grants +1B for subsequent tests in ritual.
  • Failure inflicts -1D to subsequent tests in ritual, or -2D on a critical failure.
• Invocation: Awareness (Dif 9+), 30 minutes.
  • Success determines how far ahead insights are gained: one year (9), five years (12), 10 years (15), 25 years (18), lifetime (21).
  • Failure results in gaining the Flaw (Awareness) Drawback for a week, as confusing images haunt the sorcerer's waking and sleeping moments.
• Unleashing: Will (Dif 6+).
  • Success grants extensive information (which can be leveraged into a floating +1D to use in the future), or it may result in the gaining of a "phantom" Destiny which can be burnt concerning the target.

Dowsing

• A Spell used to find a specific substance, item type, or animal. These are always specific, rather than broad: "gold" rather than "metals," "swords" rather than "weapons," and "ravens" rather than "birds".
• Each type of target is a different Spell. It takes 2 weeks to learn a different version of this Spell (you are always assumed to have access, thanks to Natural Sorcerer).

Price: 1 Spent • Test: Awareness (6+)

• Difficulty is based on distance of target: within 50 ft (6), within 100 ft (9), within 500 ft (12), within 1000 ft (15), within 2000 ft (18), within 1 mile (21)
• Success determines how quickly the diviner can follow signs to the target, and how large of an area across it pinpoints.
  • One Degree: Half yard per turn, area 10 yards across.
  • Two Degrees: 1 yard per turn, area 5 yards across.
  • Three Degrees: 2 yards per turn, area 10 feet across.
  • Four Degrees: 3 yards per turn, exact location pinpointed.
  • Failure: Search for 10 minutes, finding no signs.
• May recast the spell without re-spending Price, but each subsequent casting is at a cumulative -1D. Repaying the Price re-sets this penalty to 0.

• Insight: For each degree of success in a divinatory Working targeting an individual, gain one Insight and one Insight Die. Insights include:
  • A Background Event, or other detail about their past.
  • A Quality unknown to the diviner, either a Benefit or Drawback (chosen by sorcerer)
  • A Goal
  • What Motivation drives the subject
  • Virtues the character holds in high regard
  • Vices the character indulges in
  • A relationship to a character known to the sorcerer, particularly if that relationship is of interest to the sorcerer.
• Insight Dice: Spend an Insight Die against a target, gaining a benefit for the sorcerer when interacting with that target. The sorcerer may also transfer this benefit to another that they tell the results of the divination to. Benefits include:
  • Gain a +1D to Deception and Persuasion tests against the target for one Intrigue.
  • Improve the subject's Disposition to you by two steps during an Intrigue.
  • Gain +1D on a number of attack rolls equal to the sorcerer's Awareness.
  • Negate the spending (but not burning) of a point of the subject's Destiny.
  • Gain the benefits of having spent Destiny applied to the subject.
  • Gain the benefits of having spent Destiny against actions taken by the subject.
