The main goal of these components is to make you think about how loud you’re going to be, how long it is going to take, how much focus it’s going to require. It’s okay to not have Red Salamander Scales when casting a fire bolt, maybe this will force you to yell louder or spend longer casting the spell !
Type of Spell
Depending on the type of spell you’re doing, you or the target have to roll differently:
Buffs / Debuffs
Willing or non-sentient target:
Unwilling Target:
Attack (Damage is Will + Spell)
Zone:
Targeted (Melee or Distance):
Manipulation
Defense
Heat
After every spell, add the roll you did to your Heat Value.
This represents the physical and mental toll of drawing from the Planes.
Upon reaching certain thresholds, there are consequences:
To vent this Heat, you need a focus object, and calm meditation. The object can be anything, but it will crumble into dust after venting enough Heat into it. You make a
roll for every hour of meditation, and remove this from your Heat value.
Concentration
If you want your spell to be focused on something, if you need to contain its effects, of if it lasts a while, you need to focus on it.
Enemies trying to resist a spell effect that you’re concentrating on trigger a Will check.
Losing Concentration might end your spell, or make it spread beyond your control.
Examples
Create a wind barrier to deflect arrows (higher TN): Difficult, concentration
Small flame that bypass armor: Moderate
Summon a ghost to learn about the place you’re in: Easy, concentration
Summon binding chains to restrain a wolf: Moderate, concentration
Flash freeze a glass of water: Trivial
