Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chicanery – Is the art of deception and favored by those who utilize guile to lead the unwary astray. Practitioners are usually considered suspect even by those who do not know their abilities as they tend to give off an untrustworthy aura. Primary attribute is Manipulation.

X Fuddle: allows the caster to alter a target’s perceptions. However, because something can not be created from nothing, at least at this level, something must already be there for the caster to work off of. A target who is blind and deaf cannot suddenly see or hear but may be fooled into smelling the salt of the sea. The Fuddle catrip uses what is already present. For example, if the whit is hidden in the shadows, he could use Fuddle to cause a person to overlook them or he could cause the sounds of barking dogs to be perceived as police sirens. This cantrip can never cause any direct harm to an individual though it is possible for a target to undergo accidental injury upon himself due to his confused sense. So long as there is a suitable pre existing element for the cantrip to work off of and the caster passes a low difficulty roll, the spell is a success and the target accepts the illusion as true unless resisted successful. Easy difficulty. Blockable as target.

XX Veiled Eyes: This cantrip does not turn an object invisible or even blind the target but instead makes any item the caster chooses to be beneath their notice. Normal difficulty. Blockable as target.

XXX Fugue: While this allows the stealing or reading of entire chapters of a target’s lives, nothing can be added to the memory and is never permanent. One might take away the target’s memory of hearing a statement or of seeing a particular event. Normal difficulty. Blockable as target.

= 1 success – forgetting a simple, immediate or information, one turn
= 2 successes – loss of memory of an uninteresting scene, one minute
= 3 successes – complete eradication of a specific event, persons identity or object’s presence, one hour
= 4 successes – powerful, forthright beliefs or memories may be forgotten, one day
= 5 successes – a tabula rosa, total memory loss, one week

XXXX Haunted Heart: The caster of Haunted Heart can control and fan the emotions of her target. She can evoke any type of feeling she wants even if that person has never experienced that emotion before. Mild difficulty. Blockable as target.

= 1 success — Invokes a mild reaction.
= 2 successes —The target feels wild, chaotic surges of intermittent emotion. As long as the emotional object is not in sight, the target acts normally.
= 3 successes — Creates a continuous state of passion. The target's conversation drifts toward the emotional object
= 4 successes — The target is passionately engaged. She actively seeks (or avoids) her object of passion;
= 5 successes — Total obsession; the target can do nothing but engage in his passion. He becomes violent if restrained.

XXXXX Captive Heart: Captive Heart causes the target to become pliant to the caster’s commands. Use of this cantrip allows the with to change broad or narrow facets of a person’s behavior. They can be made to believe they are Mick Jagger, a lawn chair or a secret agent for Planet Z. However, this spell will not directly make the target harm themselves as those commands will confuse them as their self preservation instincts will still kick in. However, it is possible to make the target do something, like attack the President of the United States, that would result in his injury. High difficulty. Blockable as target.

= 1 success — Last for one turn
= 2 successes —Lasts for one scene
= 3 successes — Lasts for one hour
= 4 successes — Lasts until sunset or sunrise, whichever comes first
= 5 successes — Last for one whole day
 

Primal – Much of the power of Whits arises from the elemental affinity between their faerie souls and the forces of nature. At one time the Faeries could listen and reply to the whistpers from the forests but that knowledge was lost with the war and split of the court. Only a few have these abilities now and though such rare abilities should engender respect, it instead stereotypes those Whits. These oversimplifications often makes them the butt of jokes (“Hey, troll! Did you hear the one about the Willow-Whispering farmer’s daughter who…”). Primal cantriips have no effect on anything made of pure iron, though they can affect alloys, such as steel. Primary Attribute: Stamina

X Willow Whisper: Grants the ability to speak to books, furniture, rocks, plants, buildings, aliens… anything. There is one limitation, all requests must be phrases in a whisper. To try and Willow Whisper across the field of a football stadium during the Super Bowl is impossible. Additionally, inanimate objects only have facts. Though they may ‘enjoy’ talking, their ‘personality’ is totally different from that of a sentient being. Normal Difficulty.

= 1 success – Mumbling, meandering answers, one question only.
= 2 successes – Vague, obscure answers, three questions.
= 3 successes – Clear but strange or cryptic answer. Lasts for one scene.
= 4 successes – Clear, straight forward, but very boring answers. Lasts for one week.
= 5 successes – Perfectly clear, lucid, interesting answers, lasts for up to a month.

XX Oakenshield: This cantrip imbues an object or person with the solid, protective essence of oak bark. Each success adds an additional 10% HP for the duration of a battle. At the end, the protective oak disappears and leaves, reducing the maximum HP back to normal. Any excess health evaporates until the HP is at normal capacity. Mild difficulty.

XXX Heather balm: This cantrip mends that which is broken or injured. Anything can be mended or healed. In the case of items it would take a total of 5 successes over any amount of attempts to repair it. In the case of injured beings, each success heals 10% HP. Major deformities and ailments such as blindness or a severed limb can be healed but only with 4 or more successes in the same turn/attempt. Mild difficulty.

XXXX Holly Strike: This cantrip injures or destroys using already existing imperfections. Anything can be destroyed. In the case of items it would take a total of 5 successes over any amount of attempts to destroy it. In the case of living beings, each success deals 5% HP damage. Mild difficulty.

XXXXX Elder Form: This cantrip takes this one step further than Oakenshield. This spell will last longer than a battle if there is enough successes and can last up to a month. In addition, the additional HP is 15% per success. High difficulty.

= 1 success – Lasts for one battle.
= 2 successes – Lasts for one day.
= 3 successes – Lasts one week.
= 4 successes – Last two weeks.
= 5 successes – Lasts one month.

Sovereign– Sovereign has no effect on someone of higher rank than yourself. Primary Attribute: Charisma

X Protocol: To put it simply, the use of this cantrip allows for the caster to calm or gain someone's attention. This is especially useful in settings that might require a different set of rules or protocols. Successes determines that number of 'turns' this lasts on the opposing person. Low difficulty. Blockable as target.

XX Dictum: This is the power of command. Noble creatures have always held this power, but are loath to use it because is has become a sore spot among among others. When using this cantrip, simply state your wish in the form of a request and you can expect this 'command' to be carried out. Normal Difficulty. Blockable as target.

XXX Grandeur: Noble faeries were once worshipped as gods and goddesses. The use of this cantrip may be one reason. Grandeus imbues you with unearthly grace and supernatural beauty. So awe-inspiring that none below your rank may strike you or take any violent action against you without first overcoming the Grandeur. Even speaking difficult. Mild Difficulty. Blockable as target.

XXXX Weaver Ward: With this cantrip you can place a lock or seal on a door, entrance or object, preventing it from being used or opened. The item can literally be made to be not picked up or touched. Passwords are possible. Can only be broken with the Portal Passage cantrip from Wayfare school. The Ward lasts until the next new moon. Mild difficulty.

XXXXX Geasa: Geasa are quests or bans, and restrict or control and individual in some way. Some Geasa are created by an oath that a changeling swears; others are magically enforced. Use of this power allows you to place a Geasa or a Ban on a person. Successes determine the power of the Cantrip and the difficulty the task is allowed to be. High difficulty. Blockable as target.

= 1 success – A simple Geasa (Gather some common herbs); a minor curse (develop a rash).
= 2 successes – A more complicated Geasa (Deliver a message to a known person); moderate curse (minor physical ailment)
= 3 successes – A very difficult Geasa (Deliver a message to an unknown person); major curse (debilitating ailment).
= 4 successes – A nearly impossible task or far-reaching curse.
= 5 successes – A legendary Geasa or deadly curse.

Pyretics– Half a million years ago, mortals discovered the lure and beauty of fire. The fae have been playing with its beautiful might for considerably longer. They can control the powers of the will-o-the-wisp and create servants of living fire. This Art uses Glamour to weave and shape flame into pleasing shapes and effects.Primary Attribute: Strength

X Will-O-The-Wisp: This cantrip creates a ball of chimerical flame that will lead its creator to a specific place, person or object. This cantrip is often used as the "lead dog" in a hunt. The will-o-the-wisp tends to weave and wander a lot, often not taking the most direct path but usually the safest. Low difficulty.

XX Willow Light: This cantrip will allow you to illuminate or cast auras of light upon objects or places. With this cantrip you can cause objects or people to glow, or even cause an entire place to become lit by this phosphorescence. This effect will last for one hour for each success rolled. Normal difficulty.

XXX Prometheus' Fist: This cantrip allows you to completely engulf an object in flame. These objects will burn with tremendous heat, but will not affect you or the object, though they will burn anything that they come into contact with. This cantrip is often used to create flaming weapons, inflicting horrible wounds upon the victim of such an attack. These flames are not flammable in that they will not actually catch other materials on fire, but they will cause burn-wounds. The effect will last for one turn for each success. Mild Difficulty. Blockable as target.

XXXX Burn and Boil: This cantrip allows you to engulf a chosen target in searing fire, generally consuming the target within minutes or even seconds. This flame becomes a normal flame once it is released, igniting and burning the target of the cantrip just as normal flame would. The successes indcate how many dice of damage are caused by the effects of this cantrip at (Successes+4). Mild difficulty. Blockable as target.

XXXXX Star Body: By performing this cantrip, you can transform something into living flame, keeping all its intrinsic abilities and powers intact -- a cat will still be a cat, a sword will still be a sword, a person will still be able to move about and think for herself, etc. Anything considered part of an object or person will usually be transformed as well, such as equipment, weapons, etc. As with Prometheus' Fist, the fire created by this cantrip does not harm the caster. The flame itself is magical, and will not ignite other objects unless a creature so transformed desires to. Creatures or objects so transformed do an additional three extra dice of damage. The number of successes determines the length of time the target of the cantrip will remain transformed. High difficulty. Blockable as target.
