Alignment DELETE ALL BUT ONE OF THESE, THEN DELETE THIS INSTRUCTION Lawful: Exploit the letter of the law (or an agreement) for your own benefit. Lawful: Support the lawful order with your wisdom.	Moves 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. 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. 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. 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. School Spell Name Level Description Evocation Light CANTRIP An item you touch glows with arcane light, about as bright as a torch. It gives off no heat or sound and requires no fuel, but it is otherwise like a mundane torch. You have complete control of the colour of the flame. The spell lasts as long as it is in your presence. Evocation Magic Missile LEVEL 1 Projectiles of pure magic spring from your fingers. Deal 2d4 damage to one target. Divination Identify CANTRIP This spell will tell you what an item that you touch is, if you don’t already know. Only mundane details are revealed. Divination Detect Magic LEVEL 1 One of your senses is briefly attuned to magic. The GM will tell you what here is magical. Summoning Unseen Servant CANTRIP ONGOING You conjure a simple invisible construct that can do nothing but carry items. It has Load 3 and carries anything you hand to it. It cannot pick up items on its own and can only carry those you give to it. Items carried by an unseen servant appear to float in the air a few paces behind you. An unseen servant that takes damage or leaves your presence is immediately dispelled, dropping any items it carried. Otherwise the unseen servant serves you until you end the spell. Summoning Contact Spirits LEVEL 1 Name the spirit you wish to contact (or leave it to the GM). You pull that creature through the planes, just close enough to speak to you. It is bound to answer any one question you ask to the best of its ability. Note: Max HP = 6+Constitution; Max Load = 7+STR
Race DELETE ALL BUT ONE OF THESE, THEN DELETE THIS INSTRUCTION Human: When you make camp in a dungeon or city, you don’t need to consume a ration. Human: When you arrive at a new settlement, an honourable fighting society will accept you as their guest and provide you with friendship, hospitality, and advice. If you also agree to help them solve a problem they have, take +1 forward. Human: When another PC comes to you for advice about something important and you tell them what you honestly think is best, they also deal +1d6 damage forward if they follow that advice.

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.

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. Empowered Magic Requires: Cast a Magic Spell. When you cast a spell, on a 10+, you have the option of choosing from the 7-9 list.

On a 10+, ask the GM two questions from the list. On a 7-9, ask one. On a miss, they get to ask two questions about you: How could I get to them, physically or emotionally? What are they really up to? What is their weakness? Who are their allies? Who are their enemies?

WHEN YOU GAIN A LEVEL FROM 6-10, YOU MAY CHOOSE FROM THIS LIST AS WELL AS THE 2-5 LIST Book of Names When you meet someone important (your call), say what you’ve heard about them and roll+WIS.
