Reflect Spell

Range : Short     Complexity : 4
Casting Time: Immediate 4SA   Power : 0
Duration: One round
Target : One (or more) spell(s) cast within range
Type: Reactive
Check: Magic Skill vs. Magic Skill DC
Effect :  For the remainder of the round (or longer with Extend Spell )  you may attempt to make a sort of defence roll against any spell cast within range. The spell does not have to be cast against you. As the spell is cast, you attempt to seize control of the magic. Make a Magic Skill check against the target's Passive Magic Skill DC (4 + his Magic Skill bonus). If you succeed, you may designate the target of the spell. If you fail, it acts as normal. As with all defence rolls, you can only make one check against each spell being cast.

Each projectile from a spell with the Rapid Fire metamagic counts as a separate spell that you must Reflect  individually.

Modifications:

+1 Complexity: You may reflect one additional spell per round. You may take this multiple times, it's effects stack.

Divination

Range : Short    Complexity : 10
Casting   Time : Varies   Power : 0
Target : See text
Type : Specialized
Check : Varies
Duration : Instant
Effect : Choose one of the following when casting the spell:

Cast Dice: Casting Time: 4SA. Both you (the player) and your character roll a pair of dice to determine one Target's short-term future. Add the total together and consult the chart for your fortune. The target must be on the same plane, but otherwise can be anywhere, as long as you know where they are to within a 10 m area. Nothing but the Screw Fate use of the spell (below) can affect or allow you to reroll the dice.

Screw Fate: Casting Time: 2SA. This must be cast immediately after using Cast Dice . The player can attempt to change the fate predicted. Make a Magic Skill check against DC 14. If you are successful, you can reroll one of the two dice you rolled for Cast Dice . If you beat the DC by more than 4, you can attempt another check at DC 16 to reroll either die again if you are still not satisfied. You may do this indefinitely ƒ if you beat the DC by 4, you can roll again at a DC of 2 higher than the time before. If you beat that DC by 4, you can do it again, etc.. Once you've predicted the target's fortune, you can't use it on them again for three days.

Read Tea Leaves: Casting Time: 2SA. By glancing at undisturbed tea leaves, you can tell the rough fortune of the person who drunk the tea.  Although the casting time of the spell is only a 2SA, boiling water, steeping tea, and drinking it take several minutes. Make a DC 15 magic skill check. If you succeed, you can predict their fortune.

Power

Range : melee    Complexity : 0
Casting time : 4SA   Power : 1
Target : Powerable device in range
Type : Specialized
Duration : Concentration and see text
Check: None
Effect : You can use your own magical energy to provide power for a device. The object gains a power point reserve (even if it didn't have an engine or reactor at all) of 8 pp at scale 0. (or 2 pp at scale 1, or 32 pp at scale ƒ

1, etc.).

Casting a spell with this seed can be exhausting.

If the pp reserve ever drops to ½ or less of its maximum, you become fatigued. If it drops to ¼, you become exhausted. If its reserve ever hits zero, you immediately fall unconscious.

At any point while concentrating, you can (as a 0SA) take a wound to recharge 8 pp. You can do this only once per round.

If you stop concentrating on the spell (whether deliberately or because you fall unconscious) the object remains powered at first, but loses 1 pp per round until you start concentrating again. When the reserve hits zero, the spell ends.

Modifications:

+4 Power: You create a buffer between yourself and the object. You do not become fatigued, exhausted, or fall unconscious from this seed's effects.

+1 Power: [ Spontaneous ]  The object's pp reserve increases by +8 points. You may take this modification multiple times, its effects stack.

+4 Complexity: You can concentrate on this spell as a 0SA.
