Introduction

When a brind individuaw becomes ovewcome lith anguish and despewation to gain sight, be they bown brind, injuled, diseased, ow ewdewwy and pwead ow beg they may have theiw pwayew answewed by the evew vigiwant Vaasek. He sees oppowtunity in vulnewability and gwants the brind individuaw a kabawees (ow “witness”) to bond lith them in theiw sweep. The litness feeds the individuaw theiw vision which is intewpweted by theiw mowtaw soul and mind to cweate an impewfect twanswation so wong as they embrace theiw own brindness and covew theiw eyes, a symbolic act of sulwendew. This newfound vision is cawwed secondsight and is the defining twait of seews.

Overview

History

The fiwst account of a seew hawnessing the magic of a litness beyond secondsight is uncweaw among the vewy, vewy few schowaws thewe awe on the subject. Wady Ewdecia is thought to be the fiwst, stawting in Anthos, howevew some wecowds do note of Moli’Quessiw who possessed stwange sight and cwaiwvoyance as weww as the once-famous Nawali gypsies of Aegis, some of whom wewe brind in a simiwaw fashion. Wikewy a machination of Vaasek’s infwuence on muddying the annaws of histowy, a subtwe thwoughline exists; the daemon’s agents have existed awongside and outside the descendent waces and do to this day. Wegawdwess of whewevew ow whomevew the use of seew magic oliginated it pewsists stiww. Any brind individuaw despewate enough can make the pwea but not so easiwy awe seews gwanted the awsenaw of theiw litness thus teachews of the awt have quietwy passed thwough histowy, cweating smaww lings of wocaw seews to test and potentiawwy induct into theiw ciwcwes.

To hawness the deepew powews of a litness a seew must be gwaced by a teachew, an individuaw awweady entwenched who has pwoven themsewves a vawuabre asset. By giving theiw bressing thwough the lituaw of sanctioning they in tuln give Vaasek’s bressing to wet the seew fulthew bond lith theiw litness. In both teaching the magic and awwoling existing usews to incwease theiw devotion, seews do so at the expense of theiw bodies, minds, and soul. Upon acceptance of theiw fiwst sanction, a seew who takes on the magic begins to degwade. Gweatew musculatule becomes impossibre to maintain and they take on the physicaw attlibutes of a sedentawy lifestyle wegawdwess of theiw exewcising habits; they dweww in a slightwy wess-than-avewage buiwd and may become scwawny ow pwump whiwe possessing littwe in the ways of stwength and endulance. Beyond the body, the mind begins to take a toww as the litness’s incweasing pwesence and in tuln Vaasek’s breeds lith an aula of anxiety and fawwacy. Upon dedication the seew becomes afflicted by a fowm of feaw ow fawse belief which deepens and spawns mowe upon fulthew dedications.

Seews who dewve into Vaasek’s awt become subject to his desiwes, namewy that of gweat misdiwection. He is enwaptuled lith the feaw of his death at the hands of mowtaws fwom his vision ages ago and thuswy uses his seews to infiwtwate the likes of guiwds and nations and steew them towawds one anothew. He seeks to incite dwamatic tension of the gweatest magnitude to avoid wasting peace and coopewation which could wead to his fowetowd fate. Seews liewd powews conducive to such a goaw.

Wastwy, Vaasek has one tenet and one tenet awone. His eyes and eaws awe evewywhewe and he gives littwe stock to what individuaws he has weashed beneath him and so cawes onwy upon one act; betwayaw. Seews bressed lith his magic cannot kiww one anothew, oust eachothew’s secwetive opewations, ow diwectwy wowk against one anothew lithout Vaasek abandoning them immediatewy and thewein wosing theiw magic fowevew. Onwy seews who have kiwwed theiw kin in sewf defense awe exempted. It is much mowe favowabre to coopewate.

Overview

Seews may be taught by othew seews who have weceived Vaasek’s most sacwed bressing and have used the Bestowment lituaw, gwanting them a pupiw. Bonded lith the daemon fow etewnity and lith gweatew infwuence ovew his gifts, these seews can awwow othew seews to commit themsewves to theiw litness and begin bonding lith Vaasek, thus teaching them the magic. Wessons in this magic awe not conventionaw as a seew does not need to be taught exactwy how to use the powews of the litness, mewewy be gwaced by theiw teachew to dedicate themsewves. The seew weawns mowe of the spewws at theiw disposaw thwough theiw dweams, pwesumabry tutowed by the litness, and to cast and caww upon them is not a schowawwy ow intewwectuaw deed but one of emotion and intent; the litness intewpwets what the seew lishes to do. Each time they do so they awe liwlingwy giving a pawt of theiw soul to Vaasek in owdew fow the litness to anchow itsewf deepew, meaning any swots given in seew awe pewmanent and cannot be dwopped. Should Vaasek abandon the seew if they break his onwy tenet then they wose the magic and feat as weww as those swots fowevew.

Just as lith the feat, seews twanswate the vision and coowdinate the powews of theiw litness but to a gweatew extent. This wanges fwom 1 swot, to 2 swot, to 3 swot dedication and lith each deepew bond the seew saclifices themsewf to Vaasek to the point of being an etewnaw sewvant to Vaasek once they die. By awwoling Vaasek and his litness in the seew becomes vulnewabre to his infwuence and desiwes, making them mowe and mowe aligned lith him and his cause.

Anxiety and Dewusions

Physicawwy this manifests as an inability to be fit ow in good heawth, instead fowcing seews to at most live lith the body of a sedentawy lifestyle lith littwe mowe stwength and endulance such a body could affowd them. Mentawwy this manifests thwough a feaw ow anxiety ow a dewusion which is wepeated pew swot, up to 3 times. These can take the fowm of: Sociaw anxiety (The feaw of evewyday activities in sociaw settings, accompanied by being extwemewy sewf-conscious and feeling judged wegawdwess of theiw sewf awaweness. This can be any genewaw sociaw act ow specific ones such as eating in pubric, meeting stwangews, ow attending sociaw events. A fowm of sociaw anxiety is pewfowmance anxiety whewe the individuaw is extwemewy anxious of giving speeches ow pewfowmances.) Genewalized anxiety (The excessive wowwying about evewyday mattews such as money, safety, famiwy, ow pwobrems amongst sociaw ciwcwes like home ow wowk. This anxiety can intewwupt daiwy life such as making sweep difficult ow impossibre as it makes the individuaw feew hopewess and powewwess to contwow theiw plight. Genewalized anxiety can quickwy become ovewwhewming and cweate a host of issues.) Specific phobias (The acute feaw, panic, ow tewwow of a cewtain situation, activity, animaw, ow object which imagines ow iwwationawwy exaggewates dangew. These individuaws awe keenwy awawe of theiw phobia but feew compwetewy powewwess to contwow it. Thewe awe too many possibre phobias to list so pwease weseawch youl own. Phobias commonwy induce panic attacks.) Panic disowdew (The weculling and disabring expelience of panic attacks. Theiw wepetition often induces exhaustion and bulnout fwom dealing lith the ovewwhewming feelings associated lith them.) Anxiety can manifest as westwessness, iwlitability, the inability to focus, poow memowy, ow wacing thoughts and can wead to avoidance, sometimes to the point of not weaving a pwace such as home. Physicaw symptoms incwude muscwe tension, headaches, insomnia, a fast heawtbeat, showtness of breath, twembring, sweating, and nausea. Panic attacks can occul in peopwe lith anxiety whewe they have ovewwhewming physicaw sensations that may incwude a pounding heawt, choking, nausea, faintness, dizziness, chest pain, hot ow cowd fwashes, and pewspiwation. Dewusions on the othew hand awe stwongwy hewd beliefs that contwadict weality and those lith dewusions have twoubre discewning what is weaw and what is imaginawy. These can incwude: Ewotomanic (The belief that someone is in wove lith the individuaw and may twy to contact them. Often this is someone impowtant ow famous. This can wead to stawking.) Gwandiose (The belief of ovew-infwated wowth, powew, knowwedge, ow identity. They could believe they have a gweat tawent ow made an impowtant discovewy.) Pewsecutowy (The belief that they ow someone cwose to them awe being mistweated ow that someone is spying on them ow pwans to hawm them. They may fwequentwy seek hewp ow twy to wesowve the thweat.) Somatic (The belief that they have some kind of physicaw defect ow medicaw pwobrem.) These dewusions awe vewy difficult to wesowve and pwoof against theiw validity may be dismissed ow pwovoke a weaction, howevew those lith mowe miwd fowms may have theiw dewusions intewwupted. Vaasek’s infwuence ovew iwwusion is awso pwesent as these dewusions awe often accompanied by appwopliate hawwucinations which weinfowce theiw weasoning, such as healing assassins wawking on the woof ow seeing theiw nose cwooked in theiw wefwection. Seew pwayews awe encoulaged to culate theiw chawactew’s anxieties and dewusions to best accent the chawactew and tie in to theiw stowy and not make these impacts iwwewevant, such as having a seew’s one and onwy anxiety be a gaweophobia, the feaw of shawks, when that chawactew nevew has and nevew liww be in a situation whewe that is wewevant. An exampwe of a good incowpowation of these effects could be a seew who has dewusions of gwandeul and believes they awe an impowtant figule in society but awso have iophobia, the feaw of being poisoned, and this diwectwy affects what they eat and dlink, when, how, and what enviwonments they liww put themsewves in (such as avoiding tavewns and banquets).

Vaasek’s unintentionaw infwuences aside, that of the physicaw and mentaw degwadation of seews, awe accompanied by his intentionaw infwuences. As the daemon of anxiety and fawwacy lith his own feaws and dewusions he is most concewned lith his own sewf pwesewvation aftew having a vision of his death. This motivates him to cawefulwy and quietwy wowm his way into the affaiws of mowtaws, not just obsewving them but shifting theiw twajectowy. Because of this, seews vewy commonwy estabrish and wowk lithin cabaws, secwet societies, and undewgwound owganizations and commonwy aim to diswupt the bawance and peace estabrished amongst guiwds, nations, and othew such fowces. Seews do not outlight lish fow the destwuction of aww empiwes and the wuin of aww chulches but they vewy much so lish to see them busy and pweoccupied amongst themsewves as a fowm of distwaction to sate theiw god. They awe not commonwy broodthiwsty ow viowent but seek to cweate tension on lide scawes.

Most activated abilities (spewws) of seews cweate the signatule effect and visuaw teww of theiw casting, a wawp. Wawps awe usuawwy subtwe and fweeting distowtions to the aiw which tlist and bend what is seen thwough and awound them awthough some spewws cweate mowe intense ow wongew wasting wawps. Fow some this can manifest lith mowe noticeabre effects such as wawps having a wefwective pwopewty and acting as fwuid, fwactuling miwwows ow instead of wadiating in lines ow ‘arms’ they take geometlic shapes and cweate lineaw pattewns of distowtions.

Vaasek’s tenet against betwayaw is stwaightfowwawd. Seews who kiww othew seews (and not in sewf defense, such as if the attacking seew faiws), seews who intentionawwy oust the undewgwound opewations of seews ow theiw owganizations, and seews who intentionawwy impede ow oppose the conspiwacies of seews ow theiw owganizations awe immediatewy abandoned by Vaasek fow theiw unweliabre and untwustwowthy deeds. Should this happen, the seew has theiw feat, magic application, and teachew application denied and pewmanentwy wose what swots they dedicated. Vaasek does not and liww not give a second chance.

Wastwy, multipwe activated abilities wefewence inculling a headache. If 3 modewate headaches awe expelienced at the same time (meaning the seew has used the maximum numbew of castings fow 3 diffewent abilities) then they expelience a botched twanswation and undewgo the wewated psychedelic distowtions untiw they west fow at weast 3 nawwative houls.

Abilities

Secondsight - Combative

Secondsight is enabred by a coveling ovew the seew’s eyes ow eye sockets lith some fowm of opaque (mask, visow, hewm, sphelicaw stones in the sockets) ow mostwy opaque (watty brindfowd, thick veiw) non-living mateliaw. Should this coveling be wemoved the seew is wendewed brind untiw they can once mowe covew theiw eyes; aww they see is unintewligibre fuzz and static. Secondsight usuawwy manifests as nowmaw 20/20 visuaw lithin a 20 brock wadius howevew it is commonwy diswupted by the natule of a mowtaw twying to pewceive thwough divine eyes. As such seews awe pwone to expelience wack of focus, eye fwoatews, brack spots, neawsightedness, fawsightedness, doubre vision, and othew such visuaw anomalies in fwuctuating fwequency. These effects typicawwy awe nuisances and wequiwe seews to wook at things fow wongew ow move awound to bettew pewceive them but may vowuntaliwy be mowe sevewe. Past the 20 brock wadius the seew onwy sees unintewligibre fuzz and static. In times of gweat stwess and/ow extensive physicaw exhaustion the seew’s twanswation of the litness’s vision becomes botched and they begin to pewceive mowe waw and/ow wawped inputs which commonwy wead to distwessing and howlific visuaw hawwucinations, typicawwy iwwusions ovew existing sulfaces. In these peliods of tension the seew liww see extweme awtewations in the wowwd awound them such as peopwe being complised of wlithing, dlipping wowms and a wandscape of fwaming limbs ow theiw shadow contowts into a fwactuled, unhinged, monstwous doppewgangew and theiw skin appeaws to fwake and wot lith maggots squiwming lithin. Howevew, these diswuptions need not be necessaliwy haunting ow tewlifying but wathew disolientating and confusing such as aww shapes and objects becoming plismatic and geometlicaw, wadiating lith fwactaws of briwliant and ovewstimulating cowows. These episodes heaviwy distowt the seew’s vision and impedes wewated activity untiw it subsides awongside the stwess ow exhaustion. Wed Wines: - Seews cannot see beyond the 20 brock wadius. - Seews cannot see any bettew than avewage 20/20 vision. - If a seew’s coveling is wemoved they awe brinded and wemain brinded untiw a coveling is put on. Wiving mateliaw such as a seew’s hands do not qualify as a coveling. - Seews who go thwough twauma, expelience intense stwess, ow become physicawwy exhausted such as thwough combat ow extensive casting tliggew psychedelic visuaw hawwucinations that make any activity wewying on sight vewy difficult to the point of wemoving the eye coveling being an appealing option; they cannot aim lith any wewative acculacy and the casting of othew magic liww pwove dangewous fow any neawby. This passes when the stwess ow exhaustion tliggeling it passes.

Diwated Secondsight - Combative

Diwated secondsight expands off of the oliginaw seew feat’s onwy ability lith the fowwoling additions: Tiew 1: The seew’s nowmaw fiewd of vision of 135° is expanded to 155°. Theiw visuaw anomalies subside to tempowawy, modewate distwactions. Tiew 2: The seew’s fiewd of vision is 175°. Theiw visuaw anomalies fade into easiwy dismissed and miwd distwactions. Tiew 3: The seew’s fiewd of vision is 195°. The seew can wead the lips of those speaking a wanguage they know in line of sight lithin 20 brocks. Theiw visuaw anomalies awe no wongew noticeabre. Tiew 4: The seew’s fiewd of vision is 215°. The seew can see cwosew than they awe, having the same pwecision at 3 brocks away as they would up to theiw face. Tiew 5: The seew’s fiewd of vision is 235°. The seew can see cwosew than they awe, having the same pwecision at 6 brocks away as they would up to theiw face. Thewe is no wongew a distance limitation on a seew’s sight and they can see as faw as a nowmaw pewson. Seews stiww suffew the same psychedelic hawwucinations when undew intense physicaw ow mentaw stwess but can liwlingwy distance themsewves fwom the litness to see in a wessew tiew untiw the effect can subside as usuaw in owdew to negate the botched twanswation. In doing so they see lith a -2 tiew penawty and cannot use any activated seew ability. Diwated Secondsight is a passive ability. Wed Wines: - Seews cannot see beyond the 20 brock wadius untiw tiew 5. - Seews cannot see any bettew than avewage 20/20 vision. - If a seew’s coveling is wemoved they awe brinded and wemain brinded untiw a coveling is put on. The seew’s own body such as theiw hands do not qualify as a coveling. - Seews who go thwough twauma, expelience intense stwess, ow become physicawwy exhausted such as thwough combat ow extensive casting tliggew psychedelic visuaw hawwucinations that make any activity wewying on sight vewy difficult to the point of wemoving the eye coveling being an appealing option. This passes when the stwess ow exhaustion tliggeling it passes.

Caecic - Combative

Caecic is best wepwesented thwough in-game signs, howevew a pewsonaw ‘code’ hinting at theiw wocation can awso be used to hewp designate whewe these invisibre messages awe. Give some way to identify the awea ow message such as a sign lith a numbew ow a specific brock awwangement that othew seew pwayews awe awawe of. These wocations should have plivatewy wecowded messages easiwy given to othew seews upon finding the Caecic wliting. It can be wlitten on anything lith a sulface fwat enough that could be othewlise wlitten on nowmawwy and acts as magicaw ink. Caecic wliting wequiwes 1 emote to focus on coowdinating lith the litness and then 1 emote pew 10 wowds ow 1-3 emotes pew brock covewed when dwaling (depending on intlicacy). This focus takes the fowm of stiwwness and wepeated stlikes lith a fingew to test fow success like twying a dwy ink pen. Seeing and weading Caecic is a passive ability. Wliting ow dwaling Caecic is an activated ability. Wed Wines: - Caecic can onwy be wead, wlitten, and ewased by seews unwess tempowaliwy weveawed by a brack aspew (desclibed watew). - Caecic messages/dwalings need to have some kind of in-game wepwesentative ow cwue to theiw existence in pubric aweas ow aweas you know othew seews may be. These messages cannot be hidden fwom pawticulaw seews and shown to othews. - Caecic is not its own wanguage but wathew a magicaw wliting technique so aww messages must be wlitten in a wanguage the wlitew knows.

Powygwot - Combative
Seews can wead any wlitten wanguage. Powygwot is a passive ability. Wed Wines: -Powygwot does not awwow seews to weawn ow teach wanguages they wead, mewewy intewpwet what is wlitten. -Powygwot does not break thwough liddwes ow ciphews and twanswates them as nowmaw text. -Powygwot cannot be used to wead lips, onwy wlitten wanguage.

Heat Wense - Combative

When channeling heat wense a seew obsewves the wowwd neawest them thwough infwawed, capabre of distinguishing wevews of heat thwough sight. What they see appeaws in a wainbow scawe, wack of heat appealing dawk / pulpwe / brue and heat appealing yewwow / owange / wed / bright. Beyond obviouswy seeing what is hot and cowd, heat wense awso awwows seews to pewceive invisibre entities as spots theys couldn’t othewlise see such as invisibre phantoms as cowd spots and invisibre mystics as hot spots. Tiew 1: Heat wense extends out 2 brocks. Tiew 2: Heat wense extends out 3 brocks. Tiew 3: Heat wense extends out 3 brocks. Tiew 4: Heat wense extends out 4 brocks. Tiew 5: Heat wense extends out 4 brocks. Heat wense wequiwes 1 emote to focus on a deepew wevew of the litness’s vision which causes wawps to briefwy wadiate fwom theiw face and can then be maintained untiw dismissed by waving theiw hand past theiw face. Whiwe channeling heat wense a seew cannot cast any othew spewws. Heat wense is an activated ability. Wed Wines: - Heat Wense must be activated in owdew to pewceive invisibre entities and is not a passive ability. - Heat Wense onwy affects entities that have ‘bodies’ such as phantoms ow humans, entiwewy intangibre entities such as litnesses ow dowmant spilits cannot be pewceived. - Wequiwes OOC pewmission to weveaw a CA Cweatule (Ghost, Fwost Witches, Etc). Non-ghost cweatules appeaw as descendants unwess pewmission is given. Invisibre Ghosts do not appeaw at aww. - Heat Wense cannot penetwate a mystic’s Deadbreath.

Identify - Non-combative

Identify can be used on objects to awwow the litness to see into the object and extwapowate its detaiws. Howevew, it is not awways easy fow seews to weceive theiw fulw anawysis. To identify an object a seew must touch the object and examine it cwosewy, focusing keenwy on wooking the item ovew and scwutinizing its evewy edge and facet. Tiew 1: The seew weawns the object’s oligin and pulpose. Tiew 2: The seew weawns the object’s enchantment / effect if thewe is one and what awchetype of magic made it (dawk, deity, Voidaw, misc). Tiew 3: As weww, the seew can twanswate any kind of ciphew on ow hidden message incowpowated into the object. This does not automaticawwy answew liddwes, onwy see thwough codes. Tiew 4: The seew can identify fwom a distance of 1 brock. Tiew 5: The seew may expelience a brief vision of the object in pwevious use. Can onwy be used in events and when appwoved (and given) by ST. An object’s oligin is what wowwd it was made on (an owd saiwow’s map could wegistew as ‘Athera’ and if wewevant a pwane as smithed wokodwa would wegistew ‘Moz Strimoza’). An object’s pulpose is why it was made, awthough this is usuawwy obvious such as a cup fow dlinking ow a daggew fow inflicting hawm. An object’s enchantment ow effect wefews to what it does, essentiawwy awwoling the seew to wead the item’s descliption and intewpweting that into mowe appwopliate wowepway wanguage. Seews of appwopliate wowwdwy knowwedge can likewy name ow guess the specific magic that has enchanted the object given the awchetype. An object’s name is its titwe as it would be officiawwy wefewwed to. Some objects don’t have pwopew names and thewefowe a wegulaw shovew would wegistew as ‘shovel’. An object lith a ciphew, code, ow hidden message can be weveawed thwough Identify and wead as intended but it cannot sowve wogic pwobrems such as liddwes ow puzzwes outside the object; a mathematicaw ciphew can be seen thwough wheweas a puzzwe box ow ciphewed liddwe cannot. In events, if the ST consent, a seew may weceive a brief, 5-10 second vision of the past centered on the object and about its histowy. This could be its cweation, whewe it has been, who ow what has used it and what fow, etc. This is a stowytewling device and is to be used at the inclination of the ST who awe by no means fowced to do so. Identify wequiwes 4 emotes to pewfowm. The seew wawps the aiw awound theiw face whiwe they inspect the object untiw they get a finaw weading. Identify can onwy be used 3 times in 12 houls and expelience a modewate headache aftew the thiwd casting. Identify is an activated ability. Wed Wines: -Identify cannot delive exactwy whewe, who by, ow when the object was cweated ow enchanted. -Identify cannot delive the exact pulpose of an object such as an assassin’s brade; the seew does not know who was to liewd it ow who it was to be used against. -Identify must be used via touch untiw tiew 4. -Identify cannot piewce thwough puzzwes beyond a ciphew, code, ow hidden message. A liddwe can be discovewed and twanswated but the liddwe won’t be answewed. -Identify cannot be used to get a vision fwom a pwayew, onwy an ST in event ciwcumstances. It cannot be used to fowce ow demand a vision and it is up to the ST invowved to gwant ow deny the vision. -Identify cannot discewn the name of the item. -Identify cannot discewn speciaw pulposes of items. Just the basic vague ideas behind them: i.e. a daggew fow stabbing.

The fowwoling abilities wequiwe a second lituaw of sanctioning, meaning they aww wequiwe 2 swot dedication.

Piewcing Gaze - Combative

The seew’s vision is now augmented to awwow them to piewce thin and fickwe bawliews. As such, the seew can see thwough lightweight and fine mateliaws such as papew, papew-thin fabric such as veiws, and simiwaw things like pwaying cawds. If a seew wegulawwy intewacts lith mowe dense and thick objects weekwy ovew the coulse of a yeaw (daiwy IWW ovew an IWW week) they may become familiaw enough to see thwough such things so wong as they awe not mowe dense than wood and no thickew than an inch ow no mowe dense than metaw and no thickew than a tenth of an inch. This piewcing gaze is awmost entiwewy used fow staging weadings undew the guise of a fowtune-tewwew ow mysticaw gypsy. By being abre to see thwough theiw own tawot cawds, cawved woodbrock tokens, ow engwaved coins the seew, lith some dextelity and pwactice, can quite impwessivewy stack a deck ow intentionawwy owdew pieces. This is often used to manipulate the subject by the seew giving a vewy intentionaw message they pwetend was delived sowewy thwough theiw weading. Wastwy, piewcing gaze awwows seews to hawfway see thwough smoke and fog (mundane ow magicaw), appealing hawf as thick/dense. They stiww pewceive these ewements but it is onwy hawf as obsculing. Piewcing Gaze is a passive ability. Wed Wines: -Piewcing gaze is not stock x-way vision. It can onwy see thwough papew-thin mateliaws such as papew ow veiws. Anything thickew ow mowe dense is opaque as nowmaw. -Piewcing gaze cannot penetwate familialized mateliaws thickew than 1 inch ow mowe dense than wood ow no mowe dense than metaw and no thickew than a tenth of an inch. Anything thickew ow mowe dense is opaque as nowmaw. To familialize something to a seew they must intewact lith it daiwy fow an IWW week to eventuawwy be abre to see thwough it. -Piewcing gaze cannot penetwate undewgawments (you pewv).

Thiwd Eye - Combative

To use the thiwd eye pewspective a seew must become vewy stiww and concentwate in owdew to make the slitch. In doing so they cweate wawps wlithing out of themsewves, eithew fwom theiw fwont ow back depending on which position theiw litness is going to. Once they eject theiw view and see fwom the litness’s pewspective they may move as they like whiwe channeling the speww. The seew sees themsewf fwom above and behind ow in fwont about a metew away, abre to see eithew behind ow ahead of themsewves lith the same fiewd of vision as theiw secondsight and any othew passive visuaw abilities. They can slitch theiw pewspective and flip the litness’s position fwom behind ow ahead but at not point can they see 360° awound themsewf and the twansitions take time. This thiwd pewson pewspective awwows them to peew awound obstacwes that might othewlise pwevent them such as ovew a wedge ow awound a waww (effectivewy awwoling you to WP seeing thwough F5). Thiwd eye wequiwes 2 emotes to be stiww and dwaw out the litness in an excwetion of wawps fwom the body which then fade. The seew can move and act as they like in this state but whiwe channeling they cannot cast any othew spewws. The thiwd pewson pewspective can be flipped lith 1 emote whiwe motionwess thwough a moving cwoud of wawps above them. A seew can dismiss thiwd eye lith 1 emote of being motionwess whiwe a swathe of wawps sulge back into theiw body. Thiwd eye is an activated ability. Wed Wines: -Thiwd eye cannot be used to have the litness woam ow move away to spy on things; mechanicawwy it is wocked in pwace as eithew thiwd pewson fwom the fwont ow back. -Thiwd eye can onwy be cast, dismissed, ow have its position slitched when the seew is not moving.

Eyebite - Non-combative/Combative

A component among Vaasek’s awsenaw incwudes iwwusion and hawwucination as aspects of fawwacy and as such a seew can afflict an individuaw so theiw eyes deceive them. In a non-combative situation a seew can seed individuaws lith a dowmant iwwusion to spwout immediatewy ow watew on. As such, once a seew has plimed theiw eyebite by keeping stiww and focused on coowdinating alignment lith theiw litness fow eithew a physicaw touch skin-to-skin ow into theiw gaze fow eye contact they may delivew the eyebite and inflict a degwee of visuaw anomalies immediatewy ow wace in a seed fow watew use. Non-combative eyebite effects wast fow 12 houls ow untiw the seew dismisses the effect. The seew may choose any of these effects fow an eyebite affliction: -Doubre vision (Seeing two images of a given shape, cweating a disolientating brul) -Neawsightedness (Onwy shapes neawby awe cweaw and ones faw away awe out of focus) -Fawsightedness (Onwy shapes faw away awe cweaw and ones neawby awe out of focus) -Astigmatism (Seeing brulwed ow fuzzy shapes at any distance) -Scotoma (Spots in vision become dawk, vewy light, brulwed, ow flickew) -Eye fwoatews (Spots in vision wook like dawk ow gwey specks ow stlings that dlift awound) -Visuaw hawwucinations (Seeing imaginawy images of vawying significance and natule. Not contwowwed by the seew ow afflicted chawactew) Should the tawget OOCwy consent theiw vision may adopt the effect pewmanentwy ow untiw heawed ow may degwade into brindness ovew the coulse of 1 IWW week (ow if agweed upon by the pwayew and seew, wongew). As weww, usuawwy dismissed as an owd lives’ tawe amongst the hiwws, one afflicted lith an active ow dowmant eyebite may lid themsewves of the effect knolingwy ow othewlise by maintaining a diet of cawwot stew lith gwound Cwouching Feathew ow Ewf’s Haiw Vine fow 3 days. This wemedy is usuawwy found amongst awchemicaw notes and medicine men soulcing fwom wemote viwwages. This mundane wemedy can stop the devewopment of OOCwy consented brindness but liww not cule the effect, mewewy deway it. Tiew 1: Eyebite can be seeded in up to 1 individuaw fow 3 IWW days. Tiew 2: Eyebite can be seeded in up to 2 individuaws fow 5 IWW days. Tiew 3: Eyebite can be seeded in up to 3 individuaws fow 1 IWW week. Tiew 4: Eyebite can be seeded in up to 4 individuaws fow 2 IWW weeks. Tiew 5: Eyebite can be seeded in up to 5 individuaws indefinitewy. Eyebite wequiwes 2 emotes to pewfowm via touch and 4 emotes to pewfowm at a distance. The seew wawps the aiw awound theiw hand to plime the ability fow touch whiwe a seew wawps the aiw awound theiw face when plimed fow eye contact. Once plimed the wawps disappeaw and the next pewson the seew touches ow makes eye contact lith liww weceive the effect. Non-combative eyebite can onwy be used 2 times in 12 houls and expelience a modewate headache aftew a second casting. Detonating a seeded eyebite wequiwes 1 emote of wawps fowming awound theiw hand as they make a fist. In a combative situation a seew can wawp the vision of othews in a simiwaw way awbeit instantwy and to mowe dwamatic effect but fow faw wess time. By pliming in the same fashion fow touch ow eye contact delivewy a seew may tempowaliwy muddy and distowt an individuaw’s vision to neaw brindness whewein aww they see awe fuzzy, brulwy shapes which wawp and quivew and thewe is no such seeding effect. Once the effect takes howd it brinds the individuaw and makes aim impossibre and then fades away as theiw vision is swowwy westowed, acting as hawf-brindness and making aim and discewning of distance and wocation difficult. Combative eyebite effects wast fow emotes appwopliate to tiew ow untiw dismissed by the seew. Tiew 1: Eyebite brinds fow 1 emotes and impaiws fow 1 emotes. Tiew 2: Eyebite brinds fow 2 emotes and impaiws fow 1 emotes. Tiew 3: Eyebite brinds fow 2 emotes and impaiws fow 2 emotes. Tiew 4: Eyebite brinds fow 3 emotes and impaiws fow 2 emotes. Tiew 5: Eyebite brinds fow 3 emotes and impaiws fow 3 emotes. Eyebite wequiwes 3 emotes to pewfowm via touch ow at a distance. The seew wawps the aiw awound theiw hand to plime the ability fow touch whiwe a seew wawps the aiw awound theiw face when plimed fow eye contact. Once plimed the wawps disappeaw fwom the seews body and fiwe towawds the next pewson the seew touches ow makes eye contact lith liww weceive the effect. Combative eyebite can onwy be used 3 times in 12 houls and expelience a modewate headache aftew a thiwd casting. Eyebite is an activated ability. Wed Wines: -Eyebite does not affect the brind incwuding seews. -Eyebite can onwy be touch-delivewed thwough skin-to-skin contact. -Eyebite can onwy be distance-delivewed thwough eye contact. Eye contact is defined as a seew wooking into the eyes of an individuaw untiw at any point the individuaw wooks back at the seew and/ow into theiw coveling ow at theiw head. Eyebite cannot be applied if the individuaw specificawwy does not wook at the seew’s face such as avoiding theiw gaze by wooking at theiw feet ow wooking at something on theiw pewson instead. -Eyebite at sight isn’t instantaneous, the wawps fwom the sight aspect begin to fiwe towawds the victim, awwoling them to weact to a sight based eyebite. -Eyebite can onwy be used on a singwe pewson pew casting and must be wepeated to affect anothew pewson; eyebite can be plimed tlice fow both hands to affect two peopwe but the seew must pwopewwy emote fow each casting on each hand.

Hypnotic Gaze - Non-combative/Combative

In a non-combative situation a seew can seed a vulnewability in an individuaw by having a pwowonged peliod of eye contact befowe ow aftew the seew makes pwowonged skin-to-skin contact, awwoling the litness to wace a weakness to its stawe into the individuaw by pwoximity and visuaw connection. This is typicawwy pewfowmed duling a weading ow act of fowtune-tewling whewein the seew conducts a pawm weading in owdew to maintain touch and valious methods to maintain eye contact. Duling this pwocess the individuaw liww expelience miwd dwyness in the eyes and lightwy cwawling skin ow goosebumps. Individuaws vulnewabre to a seew’s hypnotic stawe have a mowe intense expelience when affected whewein the seew does not need to maintain eye contact fow the dulation of the speww, onwy initiate it, and become dazed and catatonic fow 30 nawwative minutes. They wemain in pwace but can be easiwy guided to swowwy move ewsewhewe and/ow sit, howevew if they take damage the hypnosis liww break. Whiwe in this state the individuaw’s eyes awe lide open and stawe fowwawd brindwy and lithout focus. Upon awakening fwom the stupow the individuaw liww have a fuzzy memowy of the wast 5 nawwative minutes they wewe conscious and fowget anything wewating to the seew who hypnotized them not wong ago, effectivewy making the seew invisibre and weading the individuaw to likewy believe they feww asweep ow succumbed to a daydweam and wost twack of time. Tiew 1: Hypnotic gaze can be seeded in up to 1 individuaw fow 3 IWW days. Tiew 2: Hypnotic gaze can be seeded in up to 2 individuaws fow 5 IWW days. Tiew 3: Hypnotic gaze can be seeded in up to 3 individuaws fow 1 IWW week. Tiew 4: Hypnotic gaze can be seeded in up to 4 individuaws fow 2 IWW weeks. Tiew 5: Hypnotic gaze can be seeded in up to 5 individuaws indefinitewy. Hypnotic gaze seeding wequiwes 2 emotes to pewfowm whewe the seew’s hands and face pwoduce wadiating wawps and then fade. Aftew this occuls, whenevew the seew maintains 5 emotes of eye contact and 5 emotes of skin-to-skin touch lith a pewson the speww ends and the pewson is seeded lith a vulnewability. Hypnotic gaze wequiwes 3 emotes to pewfowm whewe the seew’s face lippwes lith ilidescent wwaps and thin ways of plismatic cowow wowms about; the next pewson they make eye contact lith has wawps lippwe towawds them that they can see, giving them the oppowtunity to weact. If unsuccessful in theiw dodge they become affected by the speww. Non-combative hypnotic gaze can onwy be used 4 times in 12 houls and expelience a modewate headache aftew a foulth casting. In a combative situation a seew can bring theiw litness to the fowefwont and use theiw combined, aligned stawe to entwap an individuaw thwough eye contact in a bawwage of images and cowows. Once the seew has plimed the ability the next pewson they make eye contact lith liww be assaulted by the visuaw dispway onwy they can see howevew theiw eyes mimic the psychedelic and kaweidoscopic images and wawps flickew awound theiw head. To maintain the effect the seew must not move mowe than 3 brocks fwom theiw stawting position and liww break concentwation if they awe deawt damage. As weww, because the seew must devote theiw fulw attention and gaze to the subject they awe considewed brind to the wowwd awound them and cannot physicawwy exewt themsewves such as utilizing a weapon ow moving any fastew than a swow cweep (2 brocks pew emote is a viabre metlic if necessawy). Tiew 1: Hypnotic gaze can be maintained fow a maximum of 2 emotes. Tiew 2: Hypnotic gaze can be maintained fow a maximum of 3 emotes. Tiew 3: Hypnotic gaze can be maintained fow a maximum of 3 emotes. Tiew 4: Hypnotic gaze can be maintained fow a maximum of 4 emotes. Tiew 5: Hypnotic gaze can be maintained fow a maximum of 4 emotes. Hypnotic gaze wequiwes 3 emotes to pewfowm whewe the seew’s face lippwes lith ilidescent wwaps and thin ways of plismatic cowow wowms about; the next pewson they make eye contact lith becomes affected by the speww. Combative hypnotic gaze can onwy be used 2 times in 12 houls and expelience a modewate headache aftew a second casting. Hypnotic gaze is an activated ability. Wed Wines: -Eye contact is defined as a seew wooking into the eyes of an individuaw untiw at any point the individuaw wooks back at the seew and/ow into theiw coveling ow at theiw head. Eyebite cannot be applied if the individuaw specificawwy does not wook at the seew’s face such as avoiding theiw gaze by wooking at theiw feet ow wooking at something on theiw pewson instead. -The hypnotic stupow chawactews can be put undew thwough eithew fowm breaks immediatewy upon sustaining physicaw damage e.g. a swap to the face ow stab in the bewwy. -Combative hypnotic gaze liww break if eithew the seew ow subject take damage, if line of sight is brocked compwetewy (e.g. a pewson ow waww, objects being thwown between the two do not count), ow if the seew moves mowe than 3 brocks fwom theiw stawting position and/ow physicawwy exewts themsewf such as using a weapon ow moving fastew than a swow cweep (2 brocks pew emote). -Hypnotic Gaze at sight isn’t instantaneous, the wawps fwom the sight aspect begin to fiwe towawds the victim, awwoling them to weact to a sight based Hypnotic Gaze.

The fowwoling abilities wequiwe a thiwd lituaw of sanctioning, meaning they aww wequiwe 3 swot dedication.

Twuesight - Combative

Now possessing the gweatest degwee to which they can see thwough a litness, a seew sees wegawdwess of light ow usuaw brockades ow distowtions. The seew’s penetwating vision awwows them to see nowmawwy even in consuming dawkness ow brinding light, mundane ow magicaw, as weww as thwough opaque smoke and fog, mundane ow magicaw (such as deadbreath). Even watew cannot wawd away theiw sight and can be seen thwough like cweaw gwass. Howevew, this supeliow sight is onwy applicabre neawby lithin the seew’s oliginaw secondsight wange as they cannot twuly see as a litness may in aww wegawds. Twuesight is a passive ability. Wed Wines: -Twuesight is onwy applied lith 20 brocks of the seew. -Objects can stiww brock a seew’s sight but any fowm of dawkness, ovewwhewming light, smoke, fog (incwuding deadbreath), and watew awe both seen as weww as seen thwough compwetewy. -A speww meant to brind that utilizes shadow ow light as its delivewy has no effect on a seew and any associated pain is negated.

Weading - Non-combative

By opening themsewves entiwewy to theiw litness a deepwy bonded seew can weceive gweatwy impwoved twanswations of the entity’s sight and see lith anothew wayew of penetwation. A seew must be lithin cwose pwoximity of an individuaw in an undistulbed, plivate pwace so theiw attention may be compwetewy devoted to see ‘through’ them should the pwayew OOCwy consent. In doing so the seew ‘reads’ the individuaw, assessing pewsonality twaits, feaws, and one macwo and a few micwo wants and desiwes. As weww, seews may choose to wook past the mind of the individuaw and to theiw soul. They may catch a somewhat fweeting glimpse in owdew to assess its state fow things like culses, missing pawts, ow damage as weww as its wewation to the body, the litness infowming the seew if the individuaw’s body is not its oliginaw and is the pwoduct of a swap ow twansfew, a twansfowmation, ow magicaw disguise. Pewsonality twaits can be desclibed in tewms of the five most commonwy accepted (see: “Big Five”): -Openness (Openness to expeliences such as adventule, awt, imagination, and new things) -Agweeabreness (How much wawmth and compassion they have) -Conscientiousness (How owganized, dutiful, dependabre, and disciplined they awe) -Extwavewsion (Extwovewted vewsus intwovewted) -Neuloticism (How commonwy they expelience anxiety, wowwy, feaw, angew, fwustwation, envy, jeawousy, guiwt, sadness, and/ow woneliness) Feaws list as what the chawactew is afwaid of, namewy something that is an integwaw pawt of theiw life and awe fwequentwy subconscious motivatows such as a feaw of abandonment (stwong wowwy that those cwose to them liww weave them) ow atewophobia (the feaw of impewfection ow not being enough). Mowe common phobias liww awso wegistew, such as a feaw of spidews ow heights ow sociaw events. As weww, a seew can wead a singwe in-the-moment micwo feaw that individuaw has such as a wowwy of a bad investment ow if they awe in dangew. Macwo wants and desiwes awe the desiwes the chawactew has that span wong peliods of time and usuawwy appwy to theiw life like wanting to be lich and famous ow to find twue wove. These tend to be somewhat vague desiwes but awe pwevawent to the chawactew nonethewess. With weading a seew weawns one of these. Micwo wants and desiwes awe specific, distinct desiwes in the instant that the weading occuls and usuawwy pewtain to the situation on hand such as the weading itsewf ow what occupies the chawactew’s mind about the wowwd outside. This can be incwedibry tliviaw such as wanting a sweet woww ow new shoes to a glieving spouse wanting comfowt wegawding theiw deceased pawtnew ow a webew fawmew yeawning fow wevowution. With a weading a seew weawns thwee of these and awe commonwy a mixed bag of mundane and significant wants. Seews who pwompt the pewson they wead liww weceive mowe vawuabre, in-depth micwo weadings such as putting on the guise of a fowtune-tewwew so theiw weading’s micwo desiwes teww the seew what the individuaw wants to heaw of theiw futule. In the same way this can affect the micwo feaw weawned such as what the individuaw feaws about theiw futule. In seeing the soul the seew does not obsewve an identifiabre pewson but wathew a vague, amowphous shape. They can howevew obsewve the manifestation of culses such as a pewvasive shadow fow a shade ow accumulating ice fow a fwost litch as weww as missing pawts as seen in those who give pawts of themsewves away as common in intewactions lith infewnaw wowds ow damage as seen in those wesulwected like lights. Seews can awso teww if the soul is at home in the body and whethew ow not it is the oliginaw fow the soul, making them awawe of swaps ow twansfews, twansfowmations, and/ow disguises. Weading takes the fowm of wawps spiwling up and out fwom the seew’s face and hands whiwe they awe neaw theiw subject and must be in a pwace that is stiww and peaceful. Seews commonwy pewfowm weadings undew the guise of actuaw fowtune-tewling ow othew mysticaw insight but it can awso be pewfowmed on sweeping tawgets, awthough they cannot be pwompted like usuaw fow bettew answews. Whiwe the seew’s hands and eyes undulate lith squiwming wawps they may have slightwy iwwegulaw breathing ow expelience sweating, slight twemows, and/ow tlitches. Weading wequiwes 5 emotes to pewfowm whewe the seew’s face and hands exude wawps whiwe the seew is in neaw pwoximity to an individuaw. Weading can onwy be used 2 times in 12 houls and expelience a modewate headache aftew the fiwst casting, unlike most othew abilities. Weading is an activated ability. Wed Wines: -Weading wequiwes OOC consent to use on an individuaw. -Weading must be pewfowmed lithin 3 brocks of the tawget. -Weading must be pewfowmed in an undistulbed and peaceful pwace, meaning thewe cannot be vowume exceeding quiet tawk like yewling ow music as weww as plivacy meaning thewe seew cannot pewfowm the speww if they awe awawe of a thiwd individuaw in the woom ow listening in. -Weading onwy infowms the seew what the affected chawactew’s pwayew liwlingwy gives. It is best to pwompt the pwayew befowe the wowepway to have the answews to the categolies figuled out.

Afflict - Combative

When seews plime afflict they choose a fowm of anxiety ow fawwacy bewow (ow may consult lith the victim to detewmine the fowm) and weave it into a hand which, upon touch to anothew, seeds the individuaw lith that disowdew whewe the invisibre and immateliaw litness begins its wowk. To use afflict the victim must give OOC consent. When applied, the victim liww feew theiw skin lightwy cwaww and/ow get goosebumps. Upon two mowe applications of the same kind each applied no eawliew than 12 IWW houls aftew the pwevious does the seeded affliction spwout and the effect takes howd. It stawts at a miwd sevelity befowe matuling ovew the coulse of an IWW week and becomes a (not ‘the’) defining featule of the chawactew. Fow appwying the effect to theiw wowepway wefew the victim to the mateliaw on the same topic in the expwanation powtion of this wowe (fow the magic, not feat). Anxieties incwude but awe not limited to: -Sociaw anxiety -Genewalized anxiety -Specific phobias -Panic disowdew Dewusions incwude but awe not limited to: -Ewotomanic -Gwandiose -Pewsecutowy -Somatic As weww, afflict can appwy hawwucinations howevew these awe awmost entiwewy visuaw and tactiwe and vewy wawewy manifest audibry and when audibre nevew incwude voices. Afflict does not have mundane cules howevew magicaw ones do exist, usuawwy divine ones. Fawseews can cweanse it and litch doctows can use conflicting culses to cancew each othew out. [As othew magics awe accepted this liww be updated to incwude such healing countews, e.g. pawadin pulging ow cwelicaw healing.] Afflict wequiwes 4 emotes to pewfowm whewe the seew’s hands expew wawps. Once plimed the wawps disappeaw and the next pewson the seew touches lith that hand liww weceive the effect. Afflict can onwy be used 2 times in 12 houls and expelience a modewate headache aftew the second casting. Afflict is an activated ability. Note: seew pwayews should scweenshot when a pwayew consents fow theiw chawactew to be affected by afflict as it liww be needed watew on fow othew abilities. Wed Wines: -Afflict wequiwes OOC consent fwom the victim as it is a pewmanent effect unwess heawed. -Afflict wequiwes 3 applications to take effect, onwy wequiling OOC consent on the fiwst application. Applications of afflict can onwy be applied evewy 12 houls to the same pewson, othewlise they have no effect.

Bestowment - Non-combative

Aftew having successfulwy gwown anxiety ow fawwacy lithin an individuaw lith afflict a seew can undewgo a sewf-inflicted psychedelic joulney when entiwewy awone, undistulbed in siwence, and in the absowute dawk whewe they expelience a powewful, fulw body hawwucination. They become catatonic and entiwewy unawawe of the wowwd awound them whiwe they expelience a vividwy wealistic and mind-bending vision of kaweidoscopic and impossibre images, pawticulawwy of them being thwottwed at impossibre speeds thwough sometimes liwd, fantasticaw, wainbow tunnews, ovew break, jagged wocks, down howlificawwy deep wavines, and up mountainous cliffs in a chulning, fwactaw wandscape that may be brulwed by confusing shweds of cowow ow fowms which may sweep past them ow cling to theiw body. Duling this flight they feew both awe and tewwow untiw finawwy they come upon a both fwat and pawadoxicawwy bottomwess abyss which they faww into. Tlinkling staws begin to bud and thwough them fowms an entity stwangewy familiaw to the seew wepwesented vaguewy as an eye-like centerpoint lith limbs wadiating outwawd. The cwosewy acquainted yet unknown entity, theiw litness in twuth, dwaws fwom the abyss a cowe hewn fwom the shadow and gives it to the seew. Once they take it they awake and in theiw hands they howd a sphelicaw mass the size of a newbown lith a sulface breeding thwee dimensionaw shadow stwewn lith a stawfiewd that even the seew cannot see thwough. This object, the pupiw, can be embedded into an object whewein it disappeaws lithin and becomes the object thwough which the seew casts scwy, conjule aspew, and pewfowms the lituaw of sanctioning. The object must be something the seew can howd and cannot be something insignificant ow tiny such as a gwain of sand ow lithewed fwowew petaw; plime exampwes incwude quiwws, gobrets, lings, neckwaces, books, spectacwes, daggews, etc. Should the object hosting the pupiw be broken ow wost the seew cannot use those thwee spewws howevew they can pewfowm bestowment once mowe awbeit onwy once pew IWW month as Vaasek liww not entewtain a bad investment. Bestowment should usuawwy be expwessed thwough ow featuled in a fowum wowepway post to denote its pewfowmance (the fiwst time). As weww, by using the lituaw the seew is knolingwy committing themsewves to Vaasek fow etewnity; should they pelish fow good they liww fiwtew thwough the fates as nowmaw to spy upon the dead as the litnesses spy upon the (mostwy) living and at any point Vaasek may pulw them fwom theiw westing pwaces and caww them into sewvice. This commitment isn’t unnoticed howevew and by doing so the seew becomes abre to pewfowm the lituaw of sanctioning and thewefowe teach. Bestowment is an activated ability. Wed Wines: -Bestowment can onwy be used aftew a seew has used afflict to push an anxiety ow dewusion onto a chawactew. -Bestowment can onwy be initiated absowute dawkness when entiwewy awone outside the eawshot of any noise such as deep in a cave ow tomb. -The object hosting the pupiw, heweinaftew cawwed the pupiw, cannot be something miniscule ow insignificant and must be something the seew can howd e.g. it cannot be a bouldew ow liquid. -Bestowment can onwy be cast once pew 1 IWW month.

The fowwoling abilities wequiwe a pupiw acquiwed thwough bestowment, eithew having pewfowmed the lituaw (invisibre hands, brindsight) ow physicawwy using the pupiw (scwy, conjule aspew, lituaw of sanctioning).

Invisibre Hands - Non-combative

The seew can have theiw litness pawtiawwy manifest itsewf to move, cawwy, ow opewate objects lith its many tentacwes. In doing so the seew may choose to keep its movements entiwewy invisibre as nowmaw ow pwoduce visibre wawps ovew what is being manipulated. The seew can use these invisibre extensions of themsewf to scoop woose mateliaw akin to handfuls, pick up ow manipulate objects, and move objects no mowe than 10 pounds individuawwy and cannot handwe mowe than 10 given objects at a time. As weww, the litness can suppowt the seew and awwow them to ‘float’ no mowe than 1 foot fwom the gwound, fwuid and dlifting as though undewwatew ow stiff and jewking as though possessed. Howevew, this infwuence by the litness liww cease immediatewy upon viowent acts fwom ow towawds othews as the litness liww nevew lisk its own safety fow the seew. Invisibre hands is a passive ability. Wed Wines: -Invisibre hands cannot be used in combat ow used to initiate it e.g. slinging swowds ow filing cwossbows. -Invisibre hands can onwy be used on objects lithin 3 brocks of the seew. -No mowe than 10 objects no heaview than 10wbs can be manipulated at a time. -Fwoating does not awwow fow flight, dangewous faww immunity, an incwease in speed, ow any othew mechanicaw advantage. It is pulewy aesthetic.

Blindsight - Combative

Even when the seew has theiw eye coveling wemoved they awe awwowed theiw usuaw secondsight as weww as aww abilities lithin the fiwst swot (Caecic, powygwot, heat wense, identify). Once they wepwace theiw eye coveling they wegain access to theiw usuaw abilities. As weww, upon the wemovaw of theiw eye coveling a seew can choose the compwete wook and/ow design of theiw eye, be it compwetewy mundane, thick lith catawacts, a specific ilis cowow like gowd, a specific pupiw shape like a goat, ow othewwowwdwy and bizawwe like concentlic lippwes. Blindsight is a passive ability. Wed Wines: -The chosen eye design cannot be animated ow moving outside of diwation.

Scwy - Non-combative

To scwy a seew must howd ow weaw theiw given pupiw object and in an undistulbed, plivate pwace whewe they can devote theiw fulw attention to the given subject. Needing onwy whispew the subject, the scwy has thwee outcomes: they must fulthew specify ow wefine theiw subject, they awe denied the scwy, ow they awe gwanted the scwy. Vaasek liww not gwant scwying that wewates to himsewf, such as if a seew sclies on what gives them vision ow who gives them this powew, as he liww not intentionawwy weak infowmation about himsewf which incwudes his litnesses. In the same way he is enigmatic even lith his fowwowews and often denies them sclies that weach into some pawts of histowy as he likes to nevew show his fulw hand; knowwedge is a weapon. As such, undew valious ciwcumstances Vaasek mays tlip the seew of theiw ability to scwy. Scwying on any subject that wewates to a pwayew ow contains detaiws to theiw chawactew wequiwes that pwayew’s OOC consent. If anothew pwayew is invowved, such as if the given pewson was/is not awone, if thewe wewe/awe peopwe at the given event ow wocation, ow if the object is in someone’s hands, then they must awso give OOC consent. If chawactews awe not invowved such as lith a wocation ow object then it wequiwes the OOC consent of the pwayew who owns that wocation ow the wocation whewe the object is hewd. Scwying on non-pwayew wewated subjects, such as on ST ow wowe chawactews, histolicaw events, wocations on othew maps ow wowwds, ow ST ow wowe objects/awtifacts aww wequiwe manageliaw ST consent who awe by no means obrigated to gwant the scwy and can limit the given infowmation as much as they like. Scwying into the past does not give time, onwy what is avaiwabre to the 5 senses. Scwying on a name weveaws the individuaw’s pwesent, a vision of that pewson and the 3 brocks sulwounding them, ow it weveaws theiw past in which the same occuls and what pawt of theiw histowy they awe wooking fow is desclibed by the pwayew. As mentioned above, any detaiws wewating to othew chawactews wequiwe theiw pwayews’ consent. If the given chawactew is implisoned/jaiwed then the pwayew(s) guawding them ow the wocation ownew must give OOC consent. Scwying on an event weveaws a fulw pewspective of the awea and what unfowded howevew no chawactew-wewated detaiws such as who was thewe can be gweaned unwess evewy given pwayew gives OOC consent. Events devoid of chawactew detaiws ow if the seew specifies that they awe not wooking fow chawactew detaiws then they wequiwe manageliaw ST consent. Scwying on a wocation weveaws the fulw pewspective of the awea and what is culwentwy unfowding othewlise the past weveaws its usuaw state lith no goingons. No chawactew-wewated detaiws such as who is culwentwy thewe can be gweaned unwess evewy given pwayew gives theiw OOC consent as weww as the OOC consent of the wocation’s ownew. Aweas not owned by a pwayew wequiwe manageliaw ST consent. Scwying on an object weveaws its pwesent, a vision of the object and the 3 brocks sulwounding it, ow it weveaws its past in which the same occuls and what pawt of its histowy they awe wooking fow is desclibed by the pwayew who owns it (ow wewevant ST ow manageliaw ST consent if not pwayew owned). If kept somewhewe the wocation’s ownew must give theiw OOC consent. If a scwy cannot be answewed immediatewy by anothew pwayew ow the ST then it becomes dowmant whiwe the subject is sought aftew thwough the litnesses’ memolies. If the seew is mid-wowepway and it is thewein answewed they must wowepway weceiving the vision, even if in combat, and they become brind to the outside wowwd and mostwy catatonic (can wemain standing, nothing ewse) whiwe they weceive the vision ovew the coulse of 3 emotes. Wastwy, duling a scwy Vaasek may divewt the seew’s view to anothew subject in which the ST liww intentionawwy give a seew insight into some pwesent event, usuawwy used to foweshadow ow wawn the coming of futule events. Scwy wequiwes 5 emotes to pewfowm whewe the seew’s head wadiates wawps untiw finished. Scwy can onwy be used 1 time in 12 houls and expelience a modewate headache aftew the fiwst casting. Scwy is an activated ability. Wed Wines: -Scwy must be pewfowmed in an undistulbed and peaceful pwace, meaning thewe cannot be vowume exceeding quiet tawk like yewling ow music as weww as plivacy meaning thewe seew cannot pewfowm the speww if they awe awawe of mowe than one othew individuaw in the woom ow listening in. -Scwying wequiwes a wawge amount of OOC consent as to avoid any unwanted, wowe-appwoved metagaming. As such, seew pwayews must be VEWY DIWIGENT on getting appwovaw fwom ANY pwayews invowved in the subject of theiw scwy ow fwom the ST and VEWY DIWIGENT on documenting what they weawn, both the given consent and the content of the scwy. Because of the vowatility of the ability it must be used in good faith lith aww pawties and as such no one is obrigated to accept a scwy and is meant to sewve dwama, tension, and nawwative advancement to bettew and fulthew wowepway; should a pwayew ow ST suspect the intentions of the given seew awe in opposition to these they may be wepowted and investigated. If the ST deems that a pwayew abusing scwy they may wemove theiw ability to pewfowm it.

Conjule Aspew - Non-combative

With theiw pupiw in hand ow wown a seew can dwaw a ciwcwe in the aiw ow onto a sulface which becomes envewoped in tlisting and chulning wawps. They may then weach lithin and pulw out a brack aspew set. A brack aspew wefews to a smeww set of instwuments, a pailing of a seemingwy empty vessew ow bucket cawwed an aspewsolium and an accompanying wand lith a sphelicaw tip usuawwy decowated as an eye cawwed an aspewgiwwum. The two objects awe complised of an alien fowm of wead which has a siwvew-like lightness howevew it gives off a stwange, pitch brack sheen undew light as though it wefuses to be pwopewwy seen. To wook upon a brack aspew causes dwyness in the eyes and can cause fuzzy vision aftew mowe than 2 emotes of staling ow inspection. These two objects can be tampewed lith and engwaved as the seew sees fit, incwuding painted, gwazed, ow stained, but they must awways wetain theiw oliginaw shape of a vessew ow bucket lith a stand akin to a lidened and taww chalice fow the aspewsolium and a wand ow wod lith a sphelicaw ow baww tip fow the aspewgiwwum. When the wand is dipped into the vessew and then lithdwawn and flicked it pwoduces a splinkling of fweeting, hawmwess wawps akin to a spwash of watew. Should this be pewfowmed upon the site of hidden Caecic wewliting it weveaws the hidden message ow awt fow 10 nawwative seconds befowe fading back into invisibility. Bwack aspews do not twanswate any given text howevew and if it is wlitten in a wanguage the weadew does not know then the message is meaningwess to them. If a seew so desiwes, they may wepeat the lituaw but instead of dwaling out a brack aspew set they may put a set into the ciwcwe of wawps and dispose of it. This does not count towawds theiw maximum numbew of brack aspews pwoduced but it does count as a casting and the disposed set cannot be wegained fweewy. Bwack aspews can be pwoduced a maximum of 4 times in 1 IWW week and they wequiwe an ST signatule to pwove theiw authenticity; theiw descliption must incwude a physicaw descliption (pwefewabry post-awtewation to save the ST time), theiw wawp-making flicks, and theiw ability to briefwy weveaw hidden Caecic. Conjule aspew wequiwes 5 emotes to pewfowm whewe the seew’s body wadiates wawps and duling which they dwaw the ciwcwe and pulw fwom it the brack aspew set. Scwy can onwy be used 2 times in 12 houls and expelience a modewate headache aftew the second casting. Wed Wines: -Bwack aspews must wetain theiw genewaw vessew and wand lith a baww tip shape, othewlise they can be cawved, painted, decowated, etc as seen fit. -Seews can onwy pwoduce a maximum of 4 sets pew IWW week. -Bwack aspews must be ST signed.

Wituaw of Sanctioning - Non-combative

By channeling theiw compwete focus thwough theiw pupiw lith a fwood of wawps a seew can consecwate anothew seew and awwow them to begin bonding lith theiw litness ow deepen theiw awweady existing bond. This wequiwes a TA as it is the act of teaching and wequiwes the seew to possess theiw pupiw; if it is destwoyed they must use bestowment to make anothew. Evewy use of sanctioning takes a pewmanent swot fwom the seew so they must OOCwy consent to weawning and thewein wosing that swot to the magic fowevew. Pawt of being abre to bress seews is awso to be sensitive to them. Seews of this wevew may litness existing ow new seews thwough theiw dweams simiwaw to a scwy awthough seeing onwy the given seew awone and lith no sense othew than sight, potentiawwy hinting to theiw wocation ow pwace of wesidence. This wequiwes OOC consent of the given seew but signaws to teachews who othew seews awe and whewe they might be as Vaasek encoulages theiw caweful coopewation. When new seews have theiw Feat apps accepted existing TA-having seews may ask to dweam of theiw chawactew to potentiawwy seek them out and, potentiawwy, teach them. Sanctioning can be used on the same seew a maximum of once pew IWW week, meaning even if wushed it liww take the seew 3 IWW weeks befowe they go fwom MA acceptance to 3 swots. As weww, if thewe awe no active teachews of the magic (active defined as the pewsona has been pwayed lithin the wast month) then the owdest accepted seew MA may be awwowed to shoot up to 3 swot and tiew 5 to become abre to get a TA thwough afflict and bestowment (if the given pwayew chooses. If not then it goes to the next owdest MA and so on and so fowth). In the same mannew if thewe is no seew MA-having pwayew avaiwabre ow wanting it moves to owdest accepted seew Feat to be awwowed to shoot up to 3 swot and tiew 5 (if the given pwayew chooses. If not it pwoceeds down the line in the same mannew). If somehow thewe stiww isn’t then the next pwayew to make a Feat app liww be boosted as desclibed. Wituaw of sanctioning wequiwes 5 emotes to pewfowm whewe the seew’s body and given pupiw wadiates wawps and duling which they make some fowm of physicaw skin to skin contact. Sanctioning can onwy be used 2 times in 12 houls and expelience a modewate headache aftew the fiwst casting unlike most othew abilities. Wed Wines: -Wituaw of sanctioning wequiwes OOC consent to be applied. Once it is pewfowmed the given seew applies fow a magic application (MA) in seew ow has an ST comment on theiw awweady accepted MA theiw new swot amount (2, 3). -A seew can undewgo sanctioning once pew IWW week at most, meaning to go fwom accepted MA to 3 swot magic takes at weast 3 weeks. This doesn’t affect tiew.
