Title: Ra'shari Apprentice of Dusk

Assigned By: A Ra'shari master of the Mystic Caravan.

Status Award: +0

XP to Completion: 16

Blessings of the Twilight (Title Ability): You may now learn Ra'shari Dusk magic of ranks 1-2 as if they were on any curriculum you have active. When you cast Ra'shari Dusk magic, you may take 1 fatigue to change a die that shows a blank face to any other face, or to change a die that shows any non-blank face to a blank.

Ra'shari Magic

Each branch of Ra'shari magic is attuned to a particular time of day. When cast during the appropriate time (dawn to noon, noon to nightfall, nightfall to dawn) all Magnitude requirements are lowered by 1, to a minimum of 0. During the following time period, magnitude requirements are as printed. During the previous time of day, magnitude requirements are increased by 1.

New Technique: The Bond of Interest (Ra'shari Dusk Magic, Void, Rank 1)

Activation: As a Scheme and Support action, target a character and another object or character, and choose Create or Destroy Interest. Make a Theology(Void) check, TN equal to the highest vigilance among targets, or TN 2 if all targets are willing or objects.

Effects: If you succeed, for one round, plus one round per bonus success, the primary target's interest in the secondary target is increased or decreased.

Increased: Any action the primary target takes that does not involve acquiring or otherwise securing the target causes them Strife equal to 1 + 1 per bonus success, after the roll.

Decreased: The primary target's Vigilance with respect to the secondary target is reduced by 1 + 1 per bonus success. If this reduces the primary target's vigilance to 0 or lower, they are incapable of noticing the secondary target. If it is specifically pointed out to them, they see nothing of interest and it fades from memory shortly thereafter.

New Opportunities

:  : You may target an area 10 feet in diameter, plus 10 feet per bonus success.

:  : Instead of targeting a primary target to be affected, the spell affects all characters within 10 feet plus 10 feet per bonus success, of the secondary target, at any time during the duration.

+:  : You may add an additional target per spent, each may have Vigilance no higher than the initial target.

Magnitude

Magnitude 1: The duration is until the end of the scene.

Magnitude 2: The duration is 1 day.

Magnitude 3: The duration is 1 week.

Magnitude 4: The duration is 1 month.

New Technique: The Bond of Honor (Ra'shari Dusk Magic, Void, Rank 2)

Activation: As a Scheme action, target a character and make a Theology(Void) check with TN equal to the target's vigilance, or 3 for a willing target.

Effects: Until the end of the scene, you raise or lower the target's apparent Honor rank by one, plus one per bonus success, and lower or raise, respectively, the points of honor needed to stake for any effect by an equivalent amount. This change in apparent honor is instinctive to anyone near the target with Vigilance less than or equal to the increase, and they will act appropriately without knowing it. Characters whose apparent honor is lowered below 0 will be treated as wanted criminals, at best, killed on sight at worst.

New Opportunities

+:  : For each spent, you may target another willing target, or unwilling target with vigilance no higher than the primary target.

Magnitude

Magnitude 1: The duration is 1 day.

Magnitude 2: The duration is 1 week.

Magnitude 3: The duration is 1 month.

Magnitude 4: The duration is 1 year.

New Technique: The Bond of Peace (Ra'shari Dusk Magic, Void, Rank 3)

Activation: As a Scheme or Support action, target a character and another object or character. Make a Theology(Void) check, TN equal to the highest vigilance among targets, or 2 if all targets are willing or objects.

Effects: Scheme Action: You destroy peaceful feelings between the two targets. Any action taken by either subject (if able) that is not aimed directly at attacking, destroying, or harming the other target causes the acting character 1 strife plus 1 strife per bonus success, while those actions remove the same amount of strife, both after the check.

Support Action: You create peaceful feelings between the two targets. As above, but strife is gained for taking hostile action, and strife is removed for taking non-hostile action.

New Opportunities

:  : You may target an area 10 feet in diameter, plus 10 feet per bonus success.

:  : Instead of targeting a primary target to be affected, the spell affects all characters within 10 feet plus 10 feet per bonus success, of the secondary target, at any time during the duration.

+:  : You may add an additional target per spent, each may have Vigilance no higher than the initial target. All targets share peaceful or hateful feelings with all other targets, individually.

In either case, the effects last for one round, plus one round per bonus success.

Magnitude

Magnitude 1: The duration is 1 scene.

Magnitude 2: The duration is 1 day.

Magnitude 3: The duration is 1 week.

Magnitude 4: The duration is 1 month.

New Technique: The Bond of Family (Ra'shari Dusk Magic, Void, Rank 4)

Activation: As a Scheme or Support action, action, target two characters, and make a Theology(Void) check with TN equal to the highest vigilance among the targets.

Effects:

Scheme Action: You destroy the trust between family members. For the rest of the scene, the targets are no longer capable of trusting each other. Any action involving working together with or helping the other has its TN increased by 1, plus 1 per 2 bonus successes, and in a narrative scene, the targets will be suspicious at all times, and negative feelings that already exist will escalate substantially.

Support Action: You create close familial trust between the targets. For the rest of the scene, the targets tend to think the best of each other, and trust by default. An ```Aid Another``` action taken by one also reduces the TN of the action aided by 1 plus 1 per 2 bonus successes, and in a narrative scene, targets will be trusting by default, and positive feelings that already exist will escalate substantially.

New Opportunities

+:  : For each spent, you may target another willing target, or unwilling target with vigilance no higher than the primary target. The effect applies to all targets equally.

Magnitude

Magnitude 1: The duration is 1 day.

Magnitude 2: The duration is 1 week.

Magnitude 3: The duration is 1 month.

Magnitude 4: The duration is 1 year. If you activate this Magnitude a second time on a pair of targets, the duration no longer applies, they are simply family in the weave of fate.

New Technique: The Bond of Fate (Ra'shari Dusk Magic, Void, Rank 5)

Activation: As a Support action, target a character and another character or object. Make a Theology(Void) check, TN 5, to link the two together in the weave of fate.

Effects: If you succeed, the targets become bound together in the weave of fate for one day. Each target gains Karmic Tie to the other, if applicable, and the two will seek each other out unconsciously and without outside intervention. When an object is targeted, the advantage applies on all checks using or targeting the object.

New Opportunities

+:  : For each spent, you may target another target object. The effect applies to all targets equally.

+:  : For each spent, you may target another target character. The effect applies to all targets equally.

Magnitude

Magnitude 1: The duration is 1 week.

Magnitude 2: The duration is 1 month.

Magnitude 3: The duration is 1 year.

Magnitude 4: There is no duration, the bond is eternal.
