  47. When you weave a spell to help solve a problem, describe it and roll
  48. +INT. Spells cast this way can never deal damage directly. On a 10+,
  49. the spell certainly helps, but choose one. On a 7-9, the spell

  57. unwanted attention.
  58. \item The casting saps your energy. You take -1 ongoing to INT until
  59. you have a few minutes to clear your head.

  68. list, and record it below. There is more information on Spell Foci
  69. on the attached page.
  70. When you \textbf{weave a spell that is Aligned to your Focus}, your
  71. modifier to the roll can't be less than +1. When you \textbf{weave a
  72. spell that is neither Aligned nor Opposed to your Focus}, take -1

  106. \item The spell deals no damage.
  107. \item The spell's effects are superficial and temporary.
  108. \item You take +1 forward against the caster.

  270. \topbanner{The Mage's Spell Focus}
  271. \
  272. \widebanner{The Elements of a Spell Focus}
  273. Your Spell Focus is the crux of your Mage's power - it is that element
  274. around which their abilities gravitate, and determines what sort of
  275. magic they can use well and what sorts of magic they
  276. really... can't. Each Spell Focus is made up of a number of elements,
  277. detailed below.
  278. \begin{multicols}{2}
  279. \begin{basicmove}{Focus}
  280. Your Focus is the name of the brand of magic you have consigned
  281. yourself to. It is a thematic bind that ties your powers into a
  282. cohesive whole. Your Focus must always begin with the word "The,"
  283. this is important for magic.
  284. \end{basicmove}
  285. \begin{basicmove}{Aligned Elements}
  286. The Aligned elements of a focus are those that define your Mage's
  287. specialty. Each Focus has 3 Aligned options, which form an outline
  288. for what kind of spells you excel at. When you \textbf{Cast a
  289. Spell}, if the spell you describe falls within one or more of your
  290. Aligned options, then the minimum bonus your roll can have is
  291. +1. This also applies to the Black Magic and Counterspell moves,
  292. when applicable.
  293. The Mage can still cast spells that fall outside of these Aligned
  294. elements. If they do, however, they take -1 to the roll. The Mage's
  295. powers are wide and varied, but they only have practice with their
  296. Aligned elements.
  297. \end{basicmove}
  298. \columnbreak
  299. \begin{basicmove}{Look}
  300. Your magical bond of power has altered you in strange and unforeseen
  301. ways. Each Focus has a set of Look options associated with it, which
  302. are a bit more unusual than most. Select one Look from the list.
  303. \end{basicmove}
  304. \begin{basicmove}{Opposed Elements}
  305. The Opposed elements of a focus are those that define your Mage's
  306. limits. Each Focus has 2 Opposed options - one of which that
  307. prohibits you from using magic towards a certain ends, and another
  308. that prohibits you from using magic with certain methods. For
  309. example, The Dragon's Opposed elements are "Healing or Repairing"
  310. and "Using Subtlety." The former stops the Dragon Mage from ever
  311. using magic to heal or repair anything, and the second prevents the
  312. Dragon Mage from using magic in a subtle or hidden manner. The Mage
  313. can NEVER cast a spell (including Black Magic and Counterspell) if
  314. it would fall under these Opposed elements.
  315. \end{basicmove}
  316. \vfill\null
  317. \end{multicols}
  318. \begin{basicmove}{Prodigy, Archmage, and Beyond Limitation}
  319. There are three advanced moves The Mage can take that alter the
  320. nature of their \textbf{Spell Focus}: \textbf{Prodigy},
  321. \textbf{Archmage}, and \textbf{Beyond Limitation}. \textbf{Beyond
  322. Limitation}'s function is very simple, but \textbf{Prodigy} and
  323. \textbf{Archmage} can be a bit complicated. When you take either of
  324. these Advanced moves, you select a Focus you do not have, and add
  325. one of its Aligned elements and one of its Opposed elements to your
  326. list of Aligned and Opposed elements. In this way, you broaden your
  327. mastery of spellcasting, at the cost of narrowing the variety of
  328. magic you have at your disposal. You can never pick elements that
  329. contradict any of your existing elements: a Dragon Mage cannot take
  330. The Mask's "Using Brute Force" Opposed option, for instance.
