Overload
In addition to losing all hit points, the Weaver(s) immediately suffer a roleplay effect which they continue to roleplay for as long as they wish. The effect should be fitting for the Forge sphere. Some examples include:
- You want to take yourself apart, to see how you work and improve yourself.
- Will and animation leak out of you as you slowly become an inanimate object.
- Clothing and objects you touch begin fusing into your flesh, tearing wounds whenever they move or separate.
- You become obsessed with numbers and are convinced it brings the form of all things.
Spellweaver Effects
A Spellweaver can call upon the power of the Forge sphere to perform a 10 second rite that allows you identify/find interesting manufactured objects (carded items), heat things up in a more controlled way than setting fire to them (eg IC supply of hand warmers!).
Ritecaller Effects
Ritecallers are trained to keep their cool and sharpen their focus even in combat. Any shared rite marked with this symbol * has its 30 second cast time reduced to 10 seconds.
Rites List
| Forge Sphere | |
| Shared Rites | |
| Molten Rock * Cast time: 30 seconds Level: 1 Time to deliver: 1 minute, if ranged instantaneous Extension: 1 Flicker of relevant element for ranged (Each Flicker also increases the rite level by 2) Range: Touch through focus, if ranged 10 metres Effect: When casting this rite, the caster chooses between Fire or Earth for the damage type. The weaver may call Fire Blast or Earth Blast on their next hit with their focus. When used at range this lets the user call Fire Blast or Earth Blast at the end of the rite from their position. You may choose to not spend the flicker and use the melee version instead at the end of the rite if your target has moved out of range. | |
| Embedded Plates Cast Time: 30 seconds Level: 2 Effect duration: Until the end of the next encounter Extension: This rite cannot be extended Range: Self Effect: The weaver may call Resist to take the next Rend they would take as Stun instead. | |
| Blow for Blow (Hex) Cast Time: 1 Minute Level: 2 Cost: 1 Fire or Earth Flicker Time to deliver: 10 minutes Effect duration: 1 hour Extension: Every extra Flicker of Earth expended in the rite increases the duration by 15 minutes. (Each Flicker also increases the rite level by 2) Range: Touch through focus Effect: To perform this Rite, please inform a referee before you begin. The weaver may hex the target. The effect of the hex can be selected from the options below or be discussed and designed with the target. OC consent must be given to any hexes modified in that way, and the hexes should be roleplay- based within the flavour of the sphere, and not influence game mechanics. If a hex is not delivered to the target within 10 minutes, the caster could choose to take it instead, or the caster could choose to go into overload. Hex Options: – You are struck by occasional waves of fatigue, like a forge master fresh from a day’s labour. – A continuous urge to wipe the sweat from your soot covered brow. – You feel like creativity has been stolen from you, fresh ideas struggle to come to your mind. – The world is not random, but ordered and designed. To you new ideas will always fail compared to the old. | |
| Waste not want not * Cast time: 30 seconds Level: 2 Time to deliver: Instantaneous Extension: Every Flicker of Earth expended in the rite increases the number of objects mended by 3 (Each Flicker also increases the rite level by 2) Range: Touch through focus Effect: The Weaver may call Mend on an object. | |
| Stone Fist Cast Time: 30 seconds Level: 3 Time to deliver: 1 minute Extension: This rite cannot be extended Range: Touch through focus Effect: The Weaver may call Shatter on their next hit with their focus. This only takes effect if it hits a weapon, focus or shield, but the charge is consumed on the next hit in any case. |
