Spells
Quickness (Svabarre)
Power Points: 4
Range: Touch
Duration: 3 (2/round)
Trapping: Shadowy afterimage that glows with a fell redness follows all his movements, becoming especially exaggerated when he moves quickly
0: Glow Trapping: When cast with a raise the recipient glows brightly with otherworldly light for the duration, providing bright illumination with a radius of a small burst template
1: The recipient of this power has two separate turns per round on their action cardinstead of the usual one. Each turn is handled independently with its own actions, but the character must resolve one turn entirely before beginning the second.
2: With a raise, the recipient can redraw any initiative cards lower than Eight each round.

Environmental Protection
Power Points: 2
Range: Touch
Duration: 1 hour (1/hour)
Trappings: Shimmering Field, changes in skin texture
0. Aura Trapping: When cast with a raise Elias gain an aura that acts as per the damage field power, causing 2d4 damage of the type being resisted against successful melee attackers, and against anyone he strikes with an unarmed attack
1. Elias may breathe, speak, and move at his normal Pace while in one normally harmful environment, such as underwater, a zero-G vacuum, the lava of a volcano, or even the heat of the sun. Pressure, atmosphere, air, etc, are all provided for. The power does not protect against attacks with similar trappings though. Acid (Zacin), Air (Irma), Earth (Maat), Electricity (Sahko), Fire (Brande), Ice (Yaas), Water (Vesi)
2. Additional Targets: Elias may affect up to five targets by spending a like amount of additional Power Points.

Elemental Manipulation
Power Points: 1
Range: Smarts x 2
Duration: 3 (1/round)
Acid (Zacin)
• Corrosion: Beneficial Effect on person or item: If the target is touched the victim must make a vigor roll or suffer Fatigue (the equivalent of Bumps and Bruises).
• Corrosion: Beneficial Effect on weapon: When an affected weapon causes a damage result of shaken or higher, roll a d6. On a 6, any material the acid hit is ruined (armor loses a point of protection instead).
Air (Irma)
• The caster can create lesser air currents to blow out a candle, fan a flame, lift a skirt, or cool his body in oppressive heat (+ 1 to a single Fatigue roll caused by heat).
Earth (Maat)
• A wave of the hand can open a one-foot square hole in soft earth (or half that in stone), or cause a spray of sand that might blind an opponent (+ 1 to a Trick roll).
Electricity (Sahko)
• Shocking – cast on weapon: When an affected weapon strikes an opponent, roll a d6. On a 6 they must make a vigor roll or be shaken.
• Jazz – Beneficial Effect on person: + 1 to Pace.
Fire (Brande)
• The caster can snap his fingers to create a small flame (about the size of a hot match). With existing fire, he can urge it to spread (+1 to see if a fire spreads), cause it to flare (perhaps as part of a Trick maneuver), or slowly light an object over the course of a few rounds (as if holding a match to it).
• Flammable – cast on weapon: When an affected weapon causes a damage result of shaken or higher roll a d6, on a roll of 6 any potentially flammable objects to catch fire (see page 83).
Ice (Yaas)
• Armor: cast on person or item: + 2 Armor versus cold, ice, fire, and heat, but fire and heat attacks count as a dispel against this effect
• Skate: cast on person: Ice does not count as Difficult Ground as ice spikes or skates form on the target’s feet.
• Fatigue: cast on weapon: When an affected weapon causes a damage result of shaken or higher roll a d6, on a roll of 6 the target must make a vigor roll to avoid cold-based Fatigue.
Water (Vesi)
• The caster can conjure up to a pint of water somewhere within his sight (not “inside” objects or people). A wave of his hand also purifies one gallon of water, whether it be poisoned or simply salt-water. Those who have been poisoned within the last minute also get a second chance to resist any remaining effects.

Cantrips
The spellcaster may use the spellcasting skill to create minor, mostly useless effects for aesthetic purposes or amusement. Characters must successfully roll spellcasting and use the proper casting requirements. All effects require the constant attention of the spellcaster and dissipate when that attention goes away. There is no duration.
Examples
Make an illusion of a small spider crawling across the floor (illusion, Kuva)
Make a mug of ale levitate a couple inches (levitate, Leiyalla)
Make (non-blinding) sparkles flash from your hands (sparks, Kipinaat)
Draw a temporary color onto something like someone’s hair or clothes (color, Vaari)
Create a whiff of the smell of sulphur (scent, Tuoksu)
Make a card briefly change from one suit & number to another (trick, Temppu)
Make a strawberry grow quickly to double in size (grow, Kasvaa)
Mimic the sound of a glass shattering (sound, Aani)
Mend a torn shirt or notched blade (mend, Korjata)
Clean the strain from a shirt (clean, Pudhas)
Create the illusion of a plate being hot or cold to the touch (temperature, Lampoolta)
