Sorcerer

Soul Casting

Alter the world through sheer force of will. Invest up to 4 of your MD to produce a magical effect. These always return to your pool. Doubles, triples, and quadruples result in Sorcerous Calamities.

 

Each time you use your sorcerous powers after the first time per day, add +1 Instability Dice (ID) to your pool. These do not count towards the [sum] or [dice] of an effect, but do count towards Calamities. Increasing the power of your sorcerous effects may also add ID.

Billowing Robes

Wearing an outlandish costume worth 100d grants you 12 Defense.

Wearing an outlandish costume worth 1000d grants you 14 Defense.

Wearing an outlandish costume worth 10,000d grants you 16 Defense.

 

You cannot benefit from armor (including helmets) while wearing an outlandish costume.

Soul Vision

You can see the souls of living creatures. This allows you to guess the approximate location of invisible creatures. You can also immediately tell if a person is possessed, undead, or a magician. The price for this gift is your connection to others. Permanently fill all but 1 social slot with Callous Indifference.

Magic Ward

Reduce all incoming magic damage by 2. Does not apply to self-inflicted damage.

 

Once per day, negate the effects of a spell that targets you. Does not apply to spells generated by Calamities.

Sorcerous Effects

Harm

Deal [sum]+[dice] damage to a creature or object you can see. Target can Save to negate. The attribute saved against depends on how the Harm is flavored (lightning bolt, spectral claws, necrotic corruption, etc)

 

+1 ID per additional target

Alter

Make a declarative statement regarding a target you can see. The statement is true for [dice] Rounds. The statement cannot cause damage directly, move a target, or create new objects or effects. Target can Save vs Discipline to negate.

+2 ID to affect a Huge area

Create

Create something. The creature or object created exists for [dice] Rounds. The creation must be person-sized or smaller, and have 2 or fewer Grit Die.
