Channeling

This is the major magic system for the campaign. It is a free-form system based on the idea of channeling energy from a conceptual realm into the world.

Permissions

Have an aspect that reflects your connection to a spiritual realm

Cost

Reduce your refresh by 1 (Waived for this campaign because it is part of the campaign conceit and everyone taking channeling means we don’t need to worry about using refreash to maintain balance) A skill slot

Description

You can summon parts of your realm into the world. This is generally a less than subtle art. Take a skill called channel [realm]. You may use this skill for actions representing directly summoning your realm. You may also make rolls with other skills with narrative permission to use the stuff of your realm as part of the action. If you are performing an action where this ability directly aids you, you may take corruption to operate at +1 Scale.

If the Spiritual realms you connect to hasn’t been described yet make it.
