It’s a Beautiful World

Seek out an elemental font and draw power from it.

Your magic is wild, untamed, and inspired by the world around you. Choose a signature element. When you first approach a font of that element in its primal form, choose one:  It flares outward, spreading traces of itself and affecting those around it.  It whispers its secrets; ask one question from the discern realities list.  It awakens as a familiar with cost (freedom), loyalty 1, and a skill of rank 3.  It gives up its essence, dissipating to heal you 10 damage.

 Chaotic Help an elemental font erupt in the heart of civilization.

Race/Background  Human You were cast out, but befriended a small elemental creature in the wilds. Describe it. It counts as a trace of your element.

Danger Zone

 Dwarf

When your magic overcharges, hold 1 danger. If you’re already holding 1 danger, lose all your danger and suffer the spell’s overcharge effect. When you sit in meditation for a while, lose all your danger.

Your power burns low like embers waiting to be stoked. You are invisible to magic until you cast a spell or lose your temper.

Signature Spell (CHA)

 Merrow

When you channel your power into an elemental blast, roll+CHA.  On a 10+, deal 1d10 damage to someone caught in the blast.  On a 7-9, you deal damage but the spell overcharges.

You can exchange your aquatic shape for a humanoid one, and deep water transforms into an elemental font for you.

In Your Element (DEX)  Ifrit

You gain 2+DEX armor against your element.

You perceive the currents of magic flowing through the world. When you discern realities, use CHA instead of WIS.

Misunderstood You’re always considered to be trouble for purposes of the Outstanding Warrants move.

Tantrum Fill in the names of your companions in at least one: ____________ is afraid of me. I’ll give them a reason to be! I could learn how to control my temper from ____________. I lost control and hurt ____________; I must make amends before it happens again.

When you lose control of your emotions, your hair, eyes, and voice take on aspects of your signature element. Take +1 ongoing to CHA and -1 ongoing to everything else until you calm down.

Signature Elements The Components of a Signature Element You didn’t learn magic – you were born with it. Power floods you with every indrawn breath. You are inspired and fueled by the element which first awakened your power... and which first caused you to lose control. Each signature element is made up of several components, detailed below.

Element

Nature

This raw element is the inspiration for all your magic. It occurs in nature and it lives within you. You harness it to fuel your spells.

Your Nature reflects your element’s in a variety ways. When you act against your nature, take -1 forward.

Signature Tags

Tragedy

Your signature element inspires the behavior of your magic. Spells you cast gain all of the Signature tags listed for your element.

When your power manifested, you were too young to control it. Each element has a set of Tragedies which describe your magical awakening, and what you lost in the process. Choose one from the list.

Primal Fonts Traces of an element occur throughout the world, but fonts of the element in its primal form are rare and powerful. Example fonts are listed for each element. Always work together with the GM to determine if you’re near an elemental font or just an ordinary trace of your element.

Overcharge Power overwhelms you. Whenever you roll a 7-9 on your signature spell, lose control of a spell, or otherwise suffer consequences from your element, you or the GM may choose the Overcharged effect instead of damage.
