Skill Based Magic

Essential Force (EF)

There is a hidden energy that powers creation. It has been called many things by people across history and culture; Mana, Aether, Orgone, Chi.
This "Essential Force" permeates all of creation, and veiled humans perceive it as cosmic microwave background radiation.
Mages accumulate EF in their blood. If they learn to harness and control the EF they can become spellcasters. If they don't learn to control it, they eventually die from the radiation, a condition called "Essence Rot"

Your Maximum EF is equal to your Spirit + your total points in magical skills, or 1, whichever is greater.

Your body is constantly absorbing EF from the ambient environment. You refill your EF to maximum after taking a long rest.

You can also absorb EF from your environment by performing personal meditation, uninterrupted, for at least an hour. Personal mediation will differ from mage to mage and requires a mindful activity in alignment with your Sphere of Magic.

This requires a Spirit Roll:
• On a Failure: Your EF is drained
• On a Minor Success: You receive EF up to half your maximum
• On a Major Success: You fill your EF to max.

Essence Rot

Regulating their EF and dissipating excess EF into the ground is one of the first skills a new mage must learn, and almost every mage can do it as an action. If a mage never learns to, or is prevented from draining the EF from their bloodstream, it will continue to accumulate.

If a Mage's total EF exceeds their maximum EF, they will begin to take damage:
• 1 EF over: Nosebleeds, nausea, dizziness; -1 to all rolls
• 2 EF over: Crippling pain, disorientation, hallucinations; -2 to all rolls
• 3 EF ever: Necrosis, internal bleeding, loss of consciousness; -3 to all rolls, 1 wound per turn (unmitigable)
• 4+ EF over: Instant Character Death, followed by transformation into an Arcane Husk.

Pattern Fatigue

When a Mage casts a spell that affects a person directly, they are casting that spell on a person's Pattern, changing them. When a person is aware of a spell being on them, they experience pattern fatigue. Mages are always aware of a spell cast on them, even if they do not know the effect of the spell. Too much pattern fatigue will cause it to warp. All mages can support at least one spell on themselves even if they have a negative spirit score. Mages can support an additional number of spells equal to their Spirit. Once a mage reaches the limit of their patterns flexibility, they can try to push themselves further, making a spirit role to maintain their pattern's integrity each time another spell is cast on them, gaining a warp on a failure. Each spell, even if it has multiple effects, is still only counted as one spell on a pattern.

The Animus

Every mage manifests magic in a different way, known as their "Animus". It may be a shimmer of lights, spontaneous butterflies, a change in the atmosphere, or any other supernatural effect. The more powerful a spell is, the stronger the Animus. Veiled humans who witness an Animus may experience a Broken Veil if they are unable to explain it away naturally. Mages who see another Animus will know that a spell is being cast, but unless they are personally close to the caster, will not be able to tell anything about the spell.

Spellcraft

Spells are impositions of the Mages' will onto the world order. They replace the way things are with the way the Mage wants it to be. Spells only work as long as the Mage's willpower is greater than the collective will of reality. The more veiled humans there are around to disbelieve the Mages version of the world, the harder it is to cast a spell, and the greater a chance there is for a Broken Veil event to occur. As a result most Mages are very secretive and work subtly from the shadows.

Spells typically have 3 components; Words of power spoken out loud, ritualistic movements of the hands and arms(or other body parts), and a clear mental image of the desired effect.

Basic Spells are quick, improvisational castings, taking usually less than a minute and requiring that the Mage stay focused on the spell during the entire casting. They are used in combat and during investigations. A Mage can combine multiple spell effects together as long as they are not 5th level spells and are all from one practice of magic.

Ritual Spells are slow, methodical castings, sometimes taking days to accomplish. They require specialized research, materials, and a secure location for the ritual site. Ritual spells allow the mage to take breaks and divide the casting up, making big spells easier and safer to cast.

Combined Spells use the efforts of 2 or more casters. Complex spells often require the application of skills from outside a single mage's sphere of magic, or the EF cost of a spell may be too high for one Mage to manage. Casting a spell with another mage requires a familiarity with them, and often a comradery. You have to know their Animus, and how they see the world. If you don’t understand them, you can't visualize their spells as they cast them, and won’t be able to mix yours in. Thus the formation of covens and Mage societies.

Calculating Spell Cost

Add the base EF cost of each spell effect the casting will have, this equal to the skill level required for each effect.
Add 1 EF if the spell is accelerated so it only takes one round to cast. 5th level spells can't be accelerated.
Subtract 1 EF cost for each valuable spell component consumed, as long as the item is considered a valuable resource, cannot be easily obtained, and makes sense for the spell, it can count.
Determine if the spell is being cast without any verbal or somatic components, Add 1 EF cost if cast without either of them, add 2 EF cost if cast without both.
Add 1 EF to hide your Animus if you want.
Add or subtract any bonuses or penalties as determined by the Weaver
Pay the EF cost at the start of casting and make a Spirit Roll.
On a failure, the spell backfires, causing a magical backlash.

Concentration

Some spells require that the mage maintain focus on the effect for it to be sustained. If the mage becomes distracted or is attacked, they must make a Wits roll to maintain their concentration. If they fail, the spell ends.

Upcasting

Most spells have a limited range of self, or touch. By using the next level of skill, a spell can be upcast, changing its range from self to touch, or from touch to sensory perception. A spell can also be double upcast to bring it from self to sensory perception. Upcasting can also be used to expand the range or area of effect of a spell, or to add multiple targets to the spell.

Sympathetic Connections

When we interact with things we build up sympathetic connections to them. These are subtle threads that bind us to the things in our world. Many spells require or benefit from having a sympathetic connection to the target. This is the origin of the use of objects like locks of hair, blood, and personal keepsakes in spellcraft.

Unless it is a requirement, having a sympathetic connection to your spells target gives you a +1 to the spellcasting roll and consumes the connection.

Magical Backlash

The first roll determines the target of the backlash. If the target roll is invalid, then it defaults to the caster

1: An environmental effect
2: Everyone in the scene
3: The whole party
4: The caster
5: A random party member
6: A random person in the scene

The second roll determines the effect of the backlash. The Weaver selects an effect from one of the spells of the type rolled and applies it as they see fit to the target rolled

1: Unmake or Transform
2: Create
3: Dominate or Decay
4: Tinker or Fray
5: Nudge
6: Obfuscate

The third roll determines the duration of the backlash

1: Until dispelled
2: 1 Month
3: 1 Week
4: 1 Day
5: 1 Scene
6: 1 Turn

The 9 Practices of Magic

Magic is naturally broken down into 3 groups or "Circles", with each Circle having 3 Practices of Magic. A mage can only have an affinity for one circle, they can learn to cast spells using skills within their circle affinity, but not from others. This has led to the common tradition of spell casters working in multiples of 3.

The container only creates an exact copy of whatever was in it when the spell was cast. It takes an action for the container to refill, but you do not need to be concentrating on it.

On a Major Success: The container refills instantly instead of as an action.

Manufacture

On a Minor Success: Create any large or smaller object you can imagine, that still obeys the laws of physics. You can copy any machine you have cast Mechanics Insight on, you can use a technical document as a regent in the spell to create the device it depicts, or you can use a relevant skill to invent a device on the spot.

The Aura

All sentient creatures have an aura, a reflection of their essential nature, and their impact in the world. The aura is like the event horizon of a black hole, it looks like a thin line of compressed light around the outside of the person. The brighter a person's aura is, the more effective potential they have. That is to say, it is a reflection of the amount of change they can make on the world. Most people's auras are relatively dim. Mage's auras are incredibly bright in comparison, and the more skill in magic they have, the brighter it is.

The time it takes for a place of power to recharge is up to the Weaver.

On a Major Success: You become innately aware of any other people in the place of power, even if you are away from it.

Minor Hard-Force Construct
