Chargen

Your character's mental and physical self are modeled on

Magic

You have 30 MP to generate your character's magical abilities and may divide them into any of four Arts:

• Nigredo: The blackness creates entropy and chaos in the world. Using Nigredo Arts allows a magus to conjure forth flame or other destructive elements, create illusions or fill things with energy.
  • Specialization: Sample specializations for Nigredo first ascribe an image or an element on which they fixate, such as Fire (+1), their chaos is later bound to a single motion such as Destruction (+2) and finally becomes sealed within a specific easily circumvented process such as Incineration or Rotting (+3).
  • Techniques: Fireball, Curse, Mental Suggestion, Illusions, Lightning Sword.
• Albedo: The whiteness is the art that purifies and orders. Albedo Arts can restore living or inanimate things, protect people and locations and distort time and space.
  • Specialization: Sample specializations for Albedo make emphasize a single aspect such as Time (+1) or a narrow but generally useful category of target like Living (+1) that does not significantly alter how the art can be applied, escalating to a specific category of subject such as Humans (+2) or a limited range like Touch (+2). Extremely specialized Albedo could have a personal-only range of Self (+3) or be limited to a single act like Heal (+3).
  • Techniques: Heal/Repair, Remove Curse, Barrier/Ward, Time Dilatation, Switch Teleport.
• Citrinitas: The yellowness represents the awakening of power, consciousness and spirituality. Citrinitas is used for crafting magical devices for single-shot applications, summoning creatures and turning the mundane into the sublime and supernatural.
  • Specialization: Sample specializations for Citrinitas first define the art of the maker to a single craft such as Artificing (+1), then draws it down to a specific type of creation such as Golems (+2) and finally ends with creations with inherent flaws or exploitable qualities such as Flammable Rabits (+3) or Salt Golems (+3).
  • Techniques: Summon Familiar (Unique), Imprison, Create Automatons/Create Familiars (Generic), Enchanted Weapon/Ammunition.
• Rubedo: The redness is wisdom, synthesis and excellence. Rubedo is used for augmenting and transforming things in the world as well as the arts of divination.
  • Specialization: Sample specializations for Rubedo limit the applications to a specific type of subject such as Living (+1) or branch of effects such as Augmentation (+1) and peak at Self (+2) and Augment Living (+2). Highly specialized Rubedo includes specific techniques such as Augment Physique (+3) or Danger Sense (+3).
  • Techniques: Armored Skin, Superstrength, Mind Reading, Doppelganger, Hyperskill (Choose).
