Naturally Attuned: As a downtime activity, you may select a number of invocations with total school rank prerequisites equal to double your school rank. You can perform these invocations as if you knew them (see next page). When making a check to activate an invocation, if you become Compromised, you suffer spiritual backlash.

Conditions School Abilities

Spiritual Backlash: This happens if you generate 3 or more symbols on dice you keep when using an invocation, or if you become Compromised (because of your Naturally Attuned ability). You suffer 3 fatigue as the raw power of your invocation overtaxes you. You cannot use invocations of that element again until the end of the scene. If the element was Air, the GM may choose two additional targets for your invocation. If the element was Fire, the invocation targets every character within range, and applicable terrain at range 0–2 catches on fire.

Water : To refuse your gift, your target must forfeit glory equal to your Water Ring (2).

If your target accepts the gift, reduce the TN of your next Social skill check targeting them by the rarity of the item (to a minimum of 1).

NAME Using Void Points

Everyone can use Void points in the following ways:

Seize the Moment: When making a check, during Step 3: Assemble and Roll Dice Pool, you may spend 1 Void point to roll one additional Ring () die and subsequently keep one additional die during Step 5: Choose Kept Dice.
