Craft Shikigami
VoidDescrição
It is a minor thing for mystical adepts to create these small creatures, often from paper but sometimes from other materials. They can take almost any form, and as such they can offer much amusement in courts as they caper about or even fly through the air. Surely, no one would ever think to use them to sneak into secured rooms or secretly add poison to a lord’s sake. Surely.
Regras
- Ativação
As a downtime activity using a consecrated vessel of silhouette 0 or smaller, you may make an Artisan skill (Void) check to create a shikigami (see page 115). You choose the TN of the check (minimum 1).
- Efeitos
If you succeed, choose a number of invocations that you know up to the TN of the check. Record the selected invocations and create a unique name for the shikigami. While the shikigami exists, the chosen invocations are sealed within it—you cannot use them, but the shikigami can. You can have up to one shikigami at a time. When the shikigami’s physical form is destroyed, its essence returns to you; you can re-create it by making a new physical form for it in the manner of making a new shikigami, but it retains its memories and personality.
The shikigami is intelligent, can communicate with you, and generally obeys your orders. It can perform any invocations you have sealed within it as an action, using your ranks in Composition and its ring value for the skill check.
