Fey Magickery
Ancient Fairy Magic.
These are simple magical traces which can be called into being by anyone with a fey magic skill. Most elves can tap into these forces naturally; however, fey magic is not limited to just the elves; anyone can learn it. Of course, that skill does have a requirement of that both Agility and Resilience both have a score of 10 or higher. However, cantrips can be cast as many times as desired without reducing scores as happens with incantations and axioms. These simple tricks can be performed with little investment and are usable in many circumstances. But this is a harnessing of fey energy and channeling it through one's own body, which is why the Body sub-attributes are required.
On the downside, this magic pulls much of its power from the caster’s own lifeforce; thus, with each incarnation of a cantrip, 1 point of Pain accumulates. Furthermore, there is a maximum number of cantrips that can become part of one’essence; the number is equal to Resilience modifier (with a minimum of at least one cantrip). The karma attainment for a new cantrip is merely a long rest, after which the new magic can be used.
Cantrips
The chart is ordered by skill cost, while the descriptions begin with cantrip control and then are are ordered alphabetically afterwards.
| Befuddle | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | 30 feet | Duration: | 1 round |
| One creature seen within range must make a Judgment save (TM:9). If the save fails, the creature becomes confused and loses its train of thought. Note that this spell does no real damage, will not affect the target’s Mind score, and doesn’t negate the target’s next action; it simply erases the target’s current thought. The thought probably will reoccur to the creature naturally at some time in the future, and is more likely for social encounters. For example, if a lady sees someone running from her husband’s room with a dagger, this spell compels her to forget that image. But if the person with the dagger is still visible a second later, she’ll wonder about it all over again. Similarly, an opponent in combat can forget what strike he was planning but still realizes he’s in combat and attack on his next action. The cantrip’s effect ends at the start of the target’s next action, so it must be quick to make certain that something forgotten isn’t instantly remembered. |
| Blade Ward | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | Self | Duration: | 1 round |
| This cantrip is a quick defensive ability but it requires continued concentration while it is in effect, meaning no reactions are permitted. However, once cast, until the following round and until the next turn for action, the caster gains 3 points to his or her Defense value against any edged or piercing damage; however, blunt weapons and cleavers strike normally. |
| Camouflage | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | Touch | Duration: | Up to 10 minutes |
| The cantrip causes a creature to change colors to match its surroundings. The creature may attempt to hide, and when doing so gains an additional d6 to the TM for stealth. This effect lasts as long as the caster concentrates, meaning the one manifesting the effect cannot take actions or reactions while focusing. |
| Challenger’s Mark | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (as reaction) | Range: | 5 feet | Duration: | 1 round |
| As a reaction when the caster makes a successful melee hit against a target -- a target that much be within range, thus limiting melee weapons with reach -- this cantrip can be added to the effect of the strike. The caster marks the creature until the end of its next turn, bellowing a magical challenge. This effect ends early if the cantrip evoker is incapacitated or dies, or even if someone else marks the creature with a similar magical challenge. On the marked creature’s next turn, if it takes any other action besides an attack against the caster, even attacking another person, it has disadvantage for that action. The responsive attack against the caster does not have to be melee and the victim could choose not to act on its turn. |
| Chilling Touch | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | Touch | Duration: | 1 round |
| This creates a spectral force from the caster’s hand, who then makes a single 1d20 attack roll against a target’s Defense value. If successful, the touch inflicts the victim with a necrotic ward which blocks all magical healing until the end of the caster’s next turn. |
| Dancing Lights | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | 120 feet | Duration: | Up to 1 minute |
| The magic creates from one to four torch-sized lights which hover in the air. Combined they shed dim light in a 10-foot radius. For the illusion to continue, the caster must concentrate and therefore cannot take actions or reaction during that time. Dispelling the lights existence is the ending or interruption of concentration and can occur at any time. Initiative in combat should still be rolled even if the action is to continue with concentration. |
| Daze Animal | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | 60 feet | Duration: | 1 round |
| This can affect a medium-size or smaller animal with a Spirit score of 6 or fewer points and it can be seen within range. The beast makes a Will save (TM:7). If it fails, the animal cannot take actions or reactions until the start of the caster's next turn. |
| Detune | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | 60 feet | Duration: | Instantaneous |
| One instrument seen within range becomes detuned. Anyone using the instrument in a performance has tactical disadvantage on their ability checks to play it. If the instrument is held by a creature when the cantrip is cast, then that creature makes a Muse save against a TM (d4+8); a successful save negates the effect. |
| Dress | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | Touch | Duration: | Instantaneous |
| A willing creature (and note "willing") who is touched instantly dons up to four unworn and uncarried articles of clothing within 30 feet. Likewise, the cantrip may "doff" a like number of articles being worn. If removing clothing, the articles appear folded at the caster’s feet. Any donned clothing is worn in the order desired, with any twists, ties, bows, or specific spacing and detail chosen. The clothing can't be behind glass or any other obstruction. |
| Fire Finger | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | Self | Duration: | 10 minutes |
| A flame surrounds the caster’s hand, which will not harm the caster or equipment. In addition to spreading dim light for 15 feet, the fire can be used to ignite combustible materials with direct contact for 10 seconds. If used against a grappled, incapacitated, restrained stunned or unconscious victim, 1 point of fire damage against Body can be inflicted with one action, requiring a successful attack roll. The first round starts the burning, but the damage is not delivered until the start of the next turn. In the interim duration for this specific type of burning, the flame-wielder cannot take any reactions. |
| Friends | Fey Magic |
|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | Self | Duration: | Up to 1 minute |
| During the effect, the caster has advantage on all competition saves involving social interaction directed at a single creature who is not hostile at the time of casting. Further, the caster will add +5 to any TM required in social interactions. On the completion of the cantrip, the creature influenced is permitted a Perception check against a TM (d4+6) to be aware that magic was used against him, her or it. |

|---|
| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | Touch | Duration: | Up to 7 days |
| By running one's hands along a willing creature's hair, this can change its color, shape, form, and even length, up to 1 foot shorter or longer. The effect will last for seven days or until the recipient is no longer willing to keep the change, whichever expires first. |

|---|

| The quantity of a specific non-magical item within view can be instantly known. This is the cheat to how many marbles in the jar. The type of item must be have been handled in the past. If the caster has never eaten or touched a banana before, then knowing how many are in the tree above is not possible. The object being itemized must also be reasonably specific. One can learn how many apples are in a basket, for example, but not how many items of fruit in a pantry. |

| Time Required: | Instant (upon action) | Range: | 60 feet | Duration: | Instantaneous |

These enhancements last until the start of the caster's next turn. |
