Candles of the Moth
Descrição
One of the many crafts of Moth shugenja, candles of the Moth are made from a special wax that is imbued with the essence of Yume-dō, the Realm of Dreams, via a process known only to the Moth Clan. When one of these candles is lit, its light creates a “bubble” in which Yume-dō overlaps with Ningen-dō, allowing the shugenja to observe the collective dreams of those slumbering nearby or to converse with denizens of the Realm of Dreams. What can be seen extends only to the edge of the bubble; the dreams and denizens cannot stray beyond the candle’s light. (Cost: 10 koku. Rarity: 9. Qualities: Ceremonial, Sacred, Subtle.)
Propriedades
- Activation: Once per scene as a Support action, you may make a TN 3 Theology (Air) check to light the candle.
- Effect: If you succeed,the area at range 0–4 of the candle’s position becomes a place of power connected to Yume-dō (see Places of Power, starting on page 138). The area moves with the candle, but the effect only persists until the end of the scene, at which point the candle becomes unusable. The candle cannot be snuffed out or stifled once lit, even by supernatural means.
