5130 Fist of Intent¶
Use: Bolt attack · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 1
Hurls an aimed orb of will at one hostile creature. It is a bolt, so aim and the creature's evasion determine the hit.
5117 Willed Hide¶
Use: Protection · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 1
Willed toughness improves your personal Guard against aimed attacks.
5104 The Pinch¶
Use: Disruption · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 4
Pinches a hostile creature's magical channel, weakening its warding Focus. It uses disruption rules rather than an ordinary warding contest.
5191 Ahead of the Moment¶
Use: Protection · Targets: Yourself or a named companion · Mana: 1
An anticipation of the next moment improves Guard and Resolve for you or a companion.
5178 Calming Word¶
Use: Utility · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 1
Clears a stun from yourself with a calming word.
5165 Unseen Hand¶
Use: Bolt attack · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 4
Hurls gathered force as an aimed bolt at one hostile creature. Its accuracy follows bolt aiming rather than warding Focus.
5152 The Long Arm¶
Use: Maneuver · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 5
A mental shove attacks one creature's physical readiness. A forceful success can knock it down.
5139 Mindward¶
Use: Protection · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 4
A warded mind strengthens your personal Resolve against hostile wardings.
5126 Unseen Claw¶
Use: Empowerment · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 4
Talons of intent strengthen your Attack while they last.
5113 Mindlash¶
Use: Warding attack · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 6
A lash of intent harms one hostile creature through a warding contest. The target's magical resistance matters to the result.
5100 Mindscatter¶
Use: Warding attack · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 7
Scatters a hostile creature's thoughts in a damaging warding. A successful strike can also weaken its attacks through fear.
5187 Liar's Shroud¶
Use: Concealment · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 6
Makes the details of you difficult to remember, improving your hiding while it lasts.
5174 Will over Flesh¶
Use: Support · Targets: You and grouped companions present · Mana: 7
Lends disciplined endurance to grouped companions present, reducing the stamina they spend on exertion.
5161 Rooted Will¶
Use: Protection · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 7
An anchored personal stance improves Guard against aimed attacks.
5148 Elsewhere Step¶
Use: Protection · Targets: Yourself or a named companion · Mana: 7
Reserves a protective step for you or a companion. One blow or bolt that would land is avoided, then the reserved step is spent.
5135 Stillwall¶
Use: Protection · Targets: You and grouped companions present · Mana: 9
A barrier of shared attention improves Guard for grouped companions present.
5122 Far Vision¶
Use: Utility · Targets: A named companion · Mana: 8
Views a named companion's location and visible surroundings through a mental link. The companion feels the attention, and concealment can block it.
5109 Thoughtshear¶
Use: Unmaking · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 13
Unmakes an enemy's unfinished spell, otherwise an active working, otherwise some of its mana. This ordered disruption does not use a normal warding contest.
5196 Tilting World¶
Use: Maneuver · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 12
Tilts a hostile creature's footing. The maneuver can knock it down after overcoming its physical readiness.
5183 Seen Before¶
Use: Protection · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 11
A brief view of coming moments improves your personal Guard against aimed attacks.
5170 Red Veil¶
Use: Warding control · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 13
A red veil strengthens a creature's attacks while stripping its defenses. A creature affected by the warding turns its aggression toward the caster.
5118 Mindwipe¶
Use: Warding control · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 15
A successful warding weakens a creature's Attack, Guard, and Resolve together. Stronger results leave deeper impairment.
5188 Unmask Fury¶
Use: Utility · Targets: The room · Mana: 19
Draws the anger of hostile creatures in the room onto you. It changes their attention rather than directly harming them.
