Commune
You can Attune with your surroundings to get a general lay of the nearby land.
Information you can get this way tends to be accurate but vague. For example, you can find the general direction to a target in the vicinity, or the nature of any hazards or threats in the area, and so on.
Curse (S)
You can push yourself to bestow a curse upon a number of creatures equal to the spell's Tier + 1.
Examples of curses include lethargy (targets are slowed and have difficulty moving), incompetence (targets are less effective with physical attacks, granting +1d to defenders), confusion (targets are less effective with magical attacks, granting +1d to defenders), and other effects of a similar magnitude.
| Tier | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duration | A few moments | A minute | A few minutes | An hour | A few hours | A day | Several days |
Adapt (S)
You can push yourself to do allow a number of creatures up to the spell's Tier + 1 to comfortably survive in a chosen environment for a few hours, and gain +1d to resistances rolls to avoid harm related to the environment.
For example, you may cast this spell to let allies breath in water or stay warm in a tundra.
Expert Pet
Choose a type of creature (amorphous, eldritch, incorporeal, magical, natural, or undead). Your pet gains potency when tracking or fighting creatures of that type. It also gains a special ability based on your chosen creature type: incorporeal: ghost-form, magical: mind-link, natural: venomous, or undead: life-leech.
Ghost-form allows your pet to turn into an incorporeal ghost or spirt. While incorporeal, your pet can only affect other incorporeal creatures or objects.
Mind-link lets you and your pet share sense and thoughts telepathically. Once per quest you can cast a spell through your pet without having to spend stress.
Venomous imbues the pet's natural attacks with a special poison. When the pet successfully attacks a creature with standard or greater effect, the next action roll from anyone to attack the same creature gets +1 effect.
Life-leech lets your pet heal two levels of harm by devouring a non-undead creature during downtime, without you spending a downtime activity.
