Astral fadeout

Inherent

The signature left by your powers fades rapidly. An hour after you used a power, it will no longer register as magical to detection powers unless the searcher is actually touching the power's target (or is otherwise directly interacting with it).

You can end the effects of other powers. You can only dispel powers you know of (though a vague description, such as "whatever is making Bert turn green" is ok). You can try to dispel a single Finisher, Limit Break, or any power that has been in effect for a week or more, or you can try to dispel all powers except those mentioned above on one creature or in an area with a diameter equal to your Mind. When dispelling several powers at once, you can choose to ignore some of them as long as you know of each power you want to make an exception for.

A power that has been dispelled cannot be used again by that creature in this scene, and another creature that tries to use the same power in the same general area must match your Know with the stunt the power is used with, or it fails.

This will not negate a Curse, but will tell you how to defeat the curse if the roll is successful.

Inherent powers cannot be dispelled.

The difficulty is the skill of the most skilled creature involved in making the effect. Effects that have been around a long time are harder to dispel: see the table. Use the highest relevant difficulty.

You can dispel any power of any power of the Magic Origin as well as those of all Forms you know.

Magic Resistance

Stance

Whenever a Magic Origin power is successfully cast against you, make an opposed Mind roll. If you make it, the power fails to affect you.

Form Improvisation

Limit Break

You temporarily gain the use of one Form. Select one form when you use this power; you gain the use of this form for the rest of the day, or until you use this power again. You have to have some kind of connection to the form you select; exactly what this is depends on your Tradition, but typical examples include a creature, tome, site, or artifact dedicated to the form.

This is mainly useful in combination with other Magic powers that have variable results depending on what forms you know.

You can learn this power several times. Doing so allows you to improvise several Forms simultaneously, once for each time you took this power.

Magical Studies

Inherent

Tough you have an inclination for another power origin, you have also achieved magic power.

You must have an Origin other than Magic to take this power. You now have both your old origin and the Magic origin; your powers count as both origins when determining what other powers can affect them.

The GM might change or add to your Methods when you take this power.

Spell Shield

Basic Action or Stance

You create a sphere with a diameter equal to your power skill that inhibits powers of the Magic origin. Using magic powers against anyone inside this area has a minimum difficulty equal to your Know; if the normal difficulty would be lower, increase it to that value.

If uses as a basic action, the sphere is immobile and lasts for a scene. If used as a stance, the sphere moves with you.

Spellcasting Lore Mastery

Basic Action

Once, when you use another power of the Magic origin before the end of the round, you can base any roll or stunt using that power on your Know skill instead of whatever skill the power would normally be based on. Effectively you are spending extra time in order to substitute what skill is used.

Wizard's Stance

Inherent

You can begin an action scene with one stance of the Magic origin active at no shot cost.
