Harness the power of friendshi...magic!

You have been trained/gifted the knowledge of the Arcane. With the help of a held Arcane Focus, you can speak the cryptic words which define the spell to unleash its powers. When casting a spell, make an action roll with a relevant Attribute.

Arcane Focus

Your selected Arcane Focus must fulfil the following conditions.

  1. It is a physical object that occupies a hand.
  2. It primary purpose is to be used as a focus.
  3. It can be removed.

Some examples include:

Amulet Wand Lantern Crystal
Tiny Creature Staff Key Orb

Memorized Spells

You have five (5) spells already memorized. Follow the spell generation process to create them. You also have these spells written down in individual scrolls. Memorized spells can be cast "in the moment".

Casting a spell without your Arcane Focus, will require you to Take a Mark, against any Attribute, prior to making the action roll.

To cast a Potent Spell, make the roll as per normal and then Take a Mark in the attribute used to cast the spell roll.

Cantrips

You may cast any spell as a Cantrip, for free without needing to make an action roll and without the need of your Arcane Focus.

Spell Scrolls

Spell Scrolls typically take some time for you to comprehend and cast. During a period of downtime, you may take the time to replace a memorized spell with one from a spell scroll.

You may try to cast a spell from a scroll "in the moment" as a Standard Spell, by taking a mark prior to casting the spell. You may also attempt to cast it as a Potent Spell, by taking an additional mark in the attribute used.
