1 | ------------------------------------- | Utility Start | ----------------------- | |||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Utility | Skills: Arcana, Divine, Primal | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | Utility magic covers all the minor things that we expect people to be able to do with magic, such as levitating a book, transmuting a pebble into a butterfly, detecting something magical nearby, summoning a ghostly light source to see in the dark, or making one's voice growl with distant thunder. Basically, these are all cool abilities with a minor benefit, but are more tricks than dangerous or powerful magics. That doesn't mean a player can't figure out how their character can use a utility spell to their best advantage - that's half the fun of being a spellcaster! Utility magic doesn't have an equivalent action for structure encounters, since the effects are almost entirely narrative in nature. A check to cast a utility spell should always be Easy (1 difficulty). If that check seems too easy for what you want to accomplish, then what you want to do is probably eyond the scope of utility magic! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The default difficulty of the check is Easy (1 difficulty). The attack deals damage equal to the characteristic linked to the skill used to make the attack (so if the character uses Arcana, they would deal damage equal to their Intellect), plus 1 damage per uncancalled success. The attack has no set Critical Rating, so you may only inflict a Critical Injury with a triumph. Before making a magic attack check, choose any number of additional effects listed down below.
