The Path of Many Gifts
ANIMAL SPEECH
✥ RANK 1
✥ RANGE: Near
✥ DURATION: One turn (15 minutes)
This spell allows you to speak with an animal.
You can ask a number of questions equal
to the Power Level of the spell. The animal
can tell you what it has seen, heard, or smelled
– but they do not perceive the world as humanoids do, so their answers are often hard
to interpret, especially the further away from
mammals they are.
CAT’S PAW
✥ RANK 1
✥ RANGE: Personal
✥ DURATION: Immediate
You can meld your mind with the spirit of the
cat, and move without a sound. You can cast
this spell instead of rolling SNEAK, and you
will succeed automatically. Each Power Level
counts as one xx.
HAWK’S EYE
✥ RANK 1
✥ RANGE: Distant
✥ DURATION: One turn (15 minutes)
You can meld your mind with that of a hawk
and gain its inhuman sight. You can see the
details of anything within DISTANT range, everything from horizon to horizon. You see all
details and can identify specific people.
BEAR’S CLAW
✥ RANK 2
✥ RANGE: Arm’s Length
✥ DURATION: Immediate
You can strike your enemy with the force of
a great bear. You hit automatically and cause
damage equal to the Power Level. The attack
cannot be PARRIED or DODGED, but armor has
normal effect.
DEER’S DASH
✥ RANK 2
✥ RANGE: Personal
✥ DURATION: Immediate
You can run with the speed of a deer for a
short distance. This spell allows you to RUN
(one action) with a Movement Rate equal to
the Power Level plus one. Casting this spell
does not count as an action in itself. Roll for
overcharge/mishap right before you actually
move.
ANIMAL FORM
✥ RANK 3
✥ RANGE: Personal
✥ DURATION: Immediate
✥ INGREDIENT: Claw or tooth
You can shapeshift completely, and take the
form of an animal. Choose an animal from the
table on page 124 in the Gamemaster’s Guide.
You cannot choose an animal with a Strength
higher than twice the Power Level. You get the
Strength and Agility of the animal while you are
in animal form. The downside is that you lose
your ability to speak and a part of your mental
capacity, with the consequence that your Wits
and Empathy drop to 1 each while in animal
form. You also get access to the animal’s natural
attacks. Shifting back to your normal form requires that you cast the spell again.
PRIMAL SOUL
✥ RANK 3
✥ RANGE: Long
✥ DURATION: One turn (15 minutes)
You can awaken primal emotions in the minds
of others. The Power Level must be equal to or
higher than the victim’s current Wits score.
For example, you can bring out the rage of a
boar, the laziness of a cat or the timidity of a
sparrow. Exactly how the victim reacts is up
to the GM. If you want to affect the mood of
a crowd in a more general way, a small crowd
requires a Power Level of 2, a big crowd re-
quires 3, and a whole village 4.
