Moves Ritual When you draw on a place of power to create a magical effect, tell the GM what you’re trying to achieve. Ritual effects are always possible, but the GM will give you one to four of the following conditions: First you must __________. It will require a lot of money. It will take days/weeks/months. The best you can do is a lesser version, unreliable and limited. You and your allies will risk danger from ________. You’ll have to disenchant ________ to do it. You’ll need help from ________. Cast a Magic Spell When you release a spell you’ve prepared, roll+INT. On a 10+, the spell is successfully cast and you do not forget the spell—you may cast it again later. On a 7-9, the spell is cast, but choose one: After it is cast, the spell is forgotten. You cannot cast the spell again until you prepare spells. The spell disturbs the fabric of reality as it is cast—take -1 ongoing to cast a spell until the next time you prepare spells. You draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot. The GM will tell you how. Note that maintaining spells with ongoing effects will sometimes cause a penalty to your roll to cast a spell. Magic Spellbook You have mastered several spells and inscribed them in your spellbook. When you gain a level, add a new spell of your level or lower to your spellbook, chosen from those offered by your three schools. Your spellbook is 1 weight. Evocation Summoning Necromancy Prepare Magic Spells When you spend uninterrupted time (an hour or so) in quiet contemplation of your spellbook, you lose any spells you already have prepared. Prepare new spells of your choice from your spellbook whose total levels don't exceed your own level+1. Prepare your cantrips, which never count against your limit. Consult Sage When another PC comes to you for advice about something important and you tell them what you honestly think is best, they get +1 forward when following your advice. At the end of a session, if any other PCs benefited from following your advice, you can mark XP. Note: Max HP = 6+Constitution; Max Load = 7+STR

WHEN YOU GAIN A LEVEL FROM 2-5, PICK ONE OF THESE MOVES AND CUT AND PASTE IT TO THE MOVE LIST ABOVE Arrows in Hand Requires: Fists of Fury. When you block or dodge a missile attack, roll+DEX. On a 10+, you snatch the missile out of the air and it deals no damage. On a 7-9, choose one: You avoid the attack completely. You snatch the missile out of the air and take half damage.

If you are unarmoured and carry no shield, you have 2 armour against hand-held weapons. If this reduces the damage you take to zero, you may also disarm your foe. Honourable Society You are a respected member of an honourable fighting society. When you send word to them for aid, you may recruit as if you have a useful reputation and are paying generously, even though you are not paying at all. Any hirelings they send you have at least loyalty +1 and warrior +1. Light as a Feather When you run across a surface that cannot hold your weight, roll+DEX. On a 10+, you actually do it, gracefully and without trouble. On a 7-9, you make it across, but with consequences. The GM will tell you what. Ask Me Anything When another PC comes to you for advice about a difficult problem, if you tell them what you really think they should do, they take +1 forward if they follow your advice, and you mark XP if they succeed. Helpful When you aid another PC, treat a miss as a 7-9 result. They always take +1 to their roll. A Little Help From my Friends When you successfully aid someone, you take +1 forward as well. Show Me the Way When you give a receptive NPC heartfelt advice about what they should do, roll+WIS. On a 10+, they follow your advice in whatever way they think is most beneficial for them. On a 7-9, they only follow your advice if you back them up and help them do it. Buddy Movie You have a trusty sidekick or partner, who supports you in all that you do. Describe them and give them a name (Adam, Monkey King, or Sarah, for example). They count as a hireling with loyalty +2 and skill points equal to your level+1, with your choice of skills, plus one of the following abilities: When they help you defend, you get +1 hold. When they help you defy danger, take +1. When they help you fight, you deal +1d4 damage. When they help you parley, take +1. They do not have their own HP. When they take damage, lower your own HP. If you die or refuse Death’s bargain, your buddy can sacrifice their own life so that you may live. Fount of Knowledge When you spout lore about something no one else has any clue about, take +1. I Know This Work When you encounter an interesting artifact, construction, or device (your call), roll+WIS. On a hit, you can ask the GM questions. On a 10+, ask three. On a 7-9, ask two: How could I make this thing do ________? How is it weak or vulnerable? What’s happened to it recently? What’s it for? What’s it made of? Who made it? On a miss, it is something beyond your knowledge and understanding. Quick Study When you see the effects of an arcane spell, ask the GM the name of the spell and its effects. You take +1 when acting on the answers.

Very Helpful Replaces: Helpful. When you aid another PC, you don’t roll. They take +1 to their roll and if you would share in the consequences of their actions, you always get a chance to defend yourself first. Book of Names When you meet someone important (your call), say what you’ve heard about them and roll+WIS. On a hit, the GM will tell you more details. On a 10+, the GM’s details will complement yours. On a 7-9, the GM’s details may contradict your own information, and how you discover the truth is your own affair. On a miss, you are wrong about something important. Evidence of Faith When you see divine magic as it happens, you can ask the GM which deity granted the spell and its effects. Take +1 when acting on the answers. Superfriends Requires: Buddy Movie. Give your trusty sidekick or partner a second ability from the list.
