SONGS: (roll under Force + Song level +2 [+ Essence + time
bonuses (pg. 47)])
[Time taken: +1 two extra rounds; +2 one extra minute; +3 five
minutes; +4 one hour]
CHARM/1 (requires gestures & incantations)
Celestial: This Song can affect either its victim's
Will (making her apathetic and highly suggestible), or her
Perception (dulling her senses to near imbecility). The
effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the
performer's Celestial Forces.
Essence Requirement: 2
Degree of Disturbance: the check digit
HEALING [pg. 78; has all three versions, granting an additional +2 to
check digit]
Corporeal/3 (requires gestures OR incantations, or
mental-only on next round)
Each performance costs 1 Essence and affects one person. A
failure has no effect other than wasted Essence. This
is the corporeal balm of regeneration. The performer
taps into the Symphony to heal hits of damage equal to
the Song's level times the check digit to herself or
to anyone else she can physically touch.
Essence requirement: 1
Degree of Disturbance: check digit
Celestial/2 (requires gestures OR incantations)
This is celestial regeneration. The performer taps into
the Symphony and heals damage to the Will. It restores
Soul hits equal to the check digit to herself or others.
The performer must be physically touching the subject.
Essence requirement: 1
Degree of Disturbance: check digit
Ethereal/2 (requires gestures OR incantations)
This Song wipes away chaos and insanity, healing Mind hits
equal to the check digit and instantly bringing the victim
out of a stunned state for a number of minutes equal to
the check digit. If she could have recovered naturally
from her stunned state before the Song's effects end, then
she will not revert to her previous state. Otherwise,
her illness continues to run its natural course. The
performer must make eye contact.
Essence requirement: 1
Degree of Disturbance: check digit
LIGHT/1 (requires gestures & incantations)
Celestial: Control over light, the most basic
component of reality, gives the celestial being an
enormous range of abilities. The Celestial Song of Light
can strike any target within sight of the performer with
a tightly-focused beam of light. The victim takes hits
of damage equal to the check digit of the successful
roll plus the Essence spent, and is also dazzled (-2 to
any skill involving Agility or use of the eyes) for the
same number of rounds. If the target of this Song is
in her celestial form she takes celestial damage instead,
but is not dazzled. Observers must make a Perception
roll, plus the performer's skill at this Song,
to see the brief flash of light and know which direction
it came from!
Essence Requirement: 1, maximum 3.
Degree Disturbance: none.
NUMINOUS CORPUS/1 (requires gestures & incantation)
Wings: This creates a pair of wings, reflecting
your celestial heritage, which unfold from your
shoulderblades. Wings only last a number of minutes equal
to the check digit of a successful invocation times the
ability's level.
Unlike other Numinous Corpus, wings are not strictly
combat oriented. Instead, they give you the ability to
fly a number of yards per round equal to your Agility. If
this power runs out while you're in mid-air, they will
safely carry you to the ground before vanishing.
Essence Requirement: 1
Degree of Disturbance: the check digit
ATTUNEMENTS:
(Choirs) In their celestial forms, Novalis' Mercurians fill
perceptive humans with great joy. If a human makes his
perception roll to see a celestially-manifest Mercurian,
then the target number of the next roll he makes for a
nonviolent action will be raised by the check digit of
his successful Perception roll.
(Servitor) Nothing but Flowers: If Rosenstern hides behind
or within plants, he cannot be spotted without a
Perception roll minus 4 (Rosie's Celestial forces). If
Rosenstern hides among flowers, he is completely
invisible.
