Fatigue Vessel

Intensity

3

Code

§14A9

Source

instill

The invoker can instil a non-living object with a capacity to retain fatigue. Anyone holding the object (which feels as warm as flesh) can put fatigue into it, or draw fatigue from it, as an Action Point action. The object can hold a maximum of five points of fatigue.

While this effect continues, the object is treated as a living thing capable of being "killed" (it has a DT appropriate to its size).

If a sandestin application is combined with this effect, then the sandestin can utilise the fatigue points to perform, for example, incant actions. (Duration: 5 minutes.)

Steal Years

Intensity

3

Code

§22A12

Source

tap

The invoker may (permanently) reduce his/her physical age — including cancelling his/her growing senility, etc. — by transferring some of his/her years to targets of his/her race (but not beyond their maximum lifespans).

The effect reduces the invoker's age by 2% while aging the targets by (n+2)% of the invoker's (true) age, where n is the percentage of his/her actual age that the invoker has removed by various means, or zero if this is higher (eg. if the invoker has him/herself been artificially aged).

Eg. an invoker who is 150 years old, and has a physical age of 100 years, would be able to decrease his/her age by 2% (ie. 2 years) but would simultaneously increase the age of his/her target(s) by (33+2)% of 150 = 52.5 years (since he/she is 33% younger than he/she ought to be).

Steal Organ

Intensity

3

Code

§22A13

Code

Source

instill

The invoker may reduce a target's wound level by one (eg. from 6 to 5, or from 8 to 7) by reducing his/her own trained endurance level by one, and by acquiring two wound levels.

(A corpse's wound status is considered to deteriorate — ie. increase — by one per day after death, at least for purposes of this rule.)

The target must be of the invoker's race.

Remove Backfire

• causing the target to incur a -1 EF modifier to all of his/her tasks; or
• causing the target to befall a stated doom at least 6−(intensity) months, or 10−(intensity) hours, or one hour (whichever is greater) away, in the form of a hazy prophecy ("you shall die by the hand of a loved one", "you shall become in shape as a toad, and only the loving kiss of royalty shall restore thee", etc.). The curse may not constrain the character's actions, other than by coming true sometime after the minimum time elapses.

(Range 10m, fixed, bestowed.) !!!

If used to counter a curse, and a QR10 is achieved, the curse's intensity increases by one.
