Magic

Due to strict regulations on the use and teaching of magic, all spells, rituals, and adept powers have the controlled availability. Costs are for legal, private tutoring from an experienced teacher. Learning a new spell or ability requires a week of practice.

Spells

Combat Spells

Combat spells should be selected to correspond to the tactical combat build of a player using spellcasting as the description for the direct-damage attacks of their character. Additional types of spells that are compatible with the tactical combat build may be purchased for use in achieving different effects when enemies are taken out, or for use outside of tactical combat. Note that mana-type combat spells do not harm machines, only creatures with an aura (living creatures, spirits, etc.); however, they may be used in astral combat while astrally projecting, so find some use with spellcasters. Unless specified, characters are assumed to be using physical and lethal type combat spells.

Detection Spells

Learning an initiation involves completing either an ordeal or accepting a geas. The amounts listed below reflect appropriate costs for earning an initiation without the use of game play time. For instance, a horse shaman might accomplish a deed ordeal during down time through the expenditure of time and money (paying the cost below) to rehabilitate a habitat for wild horses. Ordeals undertaken during play time can defray some or all of the costs of an initiation in lieu of receiving ordinary rewards.

Familiars

Awakened metahumans (mages, shamans, and adepts) can bond an awakened animal to themselves as a familiar. This provides a supernatural connection with the familiar that can be exploited in various ways, as represented by the abilities below. Spending money to gain these abilities is not a straight purchase, but instead represents an investment of resources.

Gaining a reliable familiar ability takes weeks of practice.
