The oxtus population has a dense oral

reason for their planet’s extinction has
been lost to history, and some strong
minds have claimed the oxtii lore “too
convenient,” as their biological

presence of some alien physiology,
though some chalk this up to evolution
and the existence of mana.

tandem and allow high-level thought
processing with little effort, making you
naturally intelligent.

Having two heads comes with much

benefit, though one of the most
favorable is that you can push and pull
thoughts between your two brains. This
means that, even when offering or
forcefully omitting your thoughts to
another creature, you can control what
is given based on where you’ve shifted

Specialist Talents
Beginning at a base level of 10 and followed by each 10 levels afterwards, your
character is granted a specialist talent of your choice. These are cost-free talents that
offer supplementary abilities. Often these are passive, but some active abilities exist.

Many talents, excluding some common variety, have special requirements you must
meet in order to take them on. You must meet those requirements upon reaching a 10th
level, otherwise that talent is deemed unavailable until the requirement is met.

The most powerful talents are called ultimate specialist talents. These talents boast
extreme capability, but also have the massive requirement of mastering an entire
talent tree. Which talent tree needs to be mastered is specific to each ultimate
specialist talent.

Basic Specialist Talents

Basic specialist talents are modest, offering lax ability with often no requirements
barring the possibility of needing a different basic specialist talent. Many of these
talents are specific or niche, though synergistic with other abilities.

Skill Specialist Talents
These talents are each centralized around specific subtraits. Much like basic specialist
talents, skill specialist talents don’t have any requirements whatsoever. Each offers a
modest advantage as well as a permanent boost to a subtrait, given the subtrait is
able to go up.

Species specialist talents equate to a character growing and manifesting into their
hereditary gifts, those of which may not be so obvious without experience. Each of
these talents are specific to a species, and one’s species serves as a prerequisite for
each.

Fabrication specialist talents are a strong choice for craftsmen and artificers,
offering more efficiency and versatility in craft. Each talent has a requirement based
on the Innovation talent tree, specifically that of the longest branch. These talents
present drastic potential for crafting speed and augmentation.

Arcane specialist talents are used to push a caster when putting spells together,
allowing for significant versatility. Some require that the caster have a specific talent
within the Magecraft tree, others require that the caster can simply cast spells at all,
even less require specific trait scores.

Without competition, ultimate specialist talents are the most powerful specialist
talents a character may have access to. On the other side of the coin, these talents
have the highest requirements of any other specialist talent, each requiring mastery
of a single core talent tree. The raw effort of meeting the requirements is found worth
the inhuman raw capability offered. A creature with multiple of these talents would no
longer be considered fully mortal.

Spells
In the world of Utopia, there is an unseen force called mana that collects where
potential energy resides. Though this is more concentrated and more residual in some
places, the layer on Pia and Uto is always enough for a single caster to cast basic spells.

Any creature is capable of casting spells. The truth of a spell is that they pierce the
Aether, a realm of infinite information. Every spell pierces with a certain calculation tied
to it, pulling different effects from different places around the universe based on the
formula tied in.

Different casters have different styles of casting; some sing a melody, some draw
scriptures in the air. Each has their own style passed down to them or a way they taught
themselves to remember these arcane codings.

Casting Requirements
All spells require 3 turn actions to cast, as well as an amount of stamina predetermined
by any given spell. The amount of stamina required to cast a spell, as well as any
additional cost, should be detailed in each individual spell.

Every caster must observe a maximum called a Spellcap. Innately, your Spellcap is
equal to your Resolve score. This amount is the maximum amount of stamina you may
spend on a single spell. For instance, without discounts, if you have a Resolve score of 7,
you cannot cast a spell that costs 8 or more stamina.

If a spell has a discounted stamina cost, the discount is calculated before observing the
Spellcap. For instance, if a caster’s spells cost 2 less stamina to cast while having a
Resolve score of 5, they can cast spells that naturally cost up to 7 stamina while only
paying 5.

Premade Spells
There are a slew of spells that have been pre-built for any situation. These spells are
simple, easy to grab when the time is right. Although, what they give in convenience,
they take in efficiency. These forms of spells are not tailored for specific situations,
meaning that some extra effort will be put into them.

Prebuilt spells will be listed below.

Custom Spells
For the more advanced, customized spells will be a much better match. Every custom
spell will be tailored to the situation, customized specifically to the caster’s needs. Any

96
of these spells can be created at a moment’s notice. A spell can be designed with any
number of characteristics, changing the spell’s range, lifespan, area of effect, and a
multitude of other characteristics.

See the Advanced Rules for information on custom spell craft, page [XXXXX]

97
Animation
Just because something isn’t built to be alive doesn’t mean it can’t be. Mana creates
very powerful and versatile bonds, both mentally and physically, and may be used to
bridge the gaps between non-living and somewhat-kinda-living. Often, this is used to
reanimate dead bodies; this pulls an awkward amalgamation of soul out of the Aether
to bridge the aforementioned gaps, but the original body doesn’t keep any of its
original personality or soul this way. Those types of tactics are much more complicated.
Otherwise, it’s often used to animate little trinkets that didn’t do much of anything
prior.

Create Undead
Enchantment, Necromancy

27 Stamina to Cast PP Value: 264

This spell has a duration of 1 hour.
Touch
1 target Medium dead body

The affected dead body becomes animated, turning into a Zombie (DR 8). The
creature stays animated for the spell’s duration, and the caster may spend 1 turn
action or 1 interrupt action to command it.

98
Each affected applicable dead body becomes animated, turning into a Zombie (DR 8).
Each creature stays animated for the spell’s duration, and the caster may spend 1 turn
action or 1 interrupt action to command any of the creatures.

Much to a necromancer's delight, this spell raises any number of bodies you can pile beneath
yourself within a decent radius. Given the spell may be cast over and over with the same group
of undead, this spell produces a rather sufficient and loyal meat-wall.

99
Ascertainment
One saying that many powerful diviners use is, “Mana has memory”. This quote is not
meant to be taken literally, though some still often do. In reality, mana is an organic
matter-energy enigma that takes on the characteristics of its surroundings, and the
information it learns doing this can be accessed anywhere where the mana is still
touching. Divination takes great advantage of this through ascertainment, the
gathering of otherwise-unreachable information.

Upon failing, it becomes Paralyzed for the spell’s duration.

A spell that paralyzes a creature’s body indefinitely, hardening its flesh into a frozen state of
vulnerability.

103
Destruction
The most primitive, but perhaps the most commonly used, destructive power. There’s a
lot of places in the world to pull destructive power, making demolition based spells the
easiest to access for new casters. Controlling one’s output is difficult, though, much like
the venom of a baby snake.

Elemental Strike
Evocation

6 Stamina to Cast PP Value: 60

This spell's effects remain active until dispelled.
Touch
1 target weapon or creature

The affected weapon or creature becomes imbued, dealing an additional 4d4 damage

creature affected is dealt 1d4 Psyche damage. When an affected creature is dealt
damage this way, it may make a Will contest against the caster. Upon succeeding, it is
dealt no damage and ends this effect on itself.

magic was designed to deceive the natural senses and warp reality around us based on
a whim. Though these effects are often non-tangible, sometimes simple belief is enough
to get a job done.

Vivify
Illusion

6 Stamina to Cast PP Value: 60

This spell requires concentration or ends immediately after casting.

Touch
No targets

The caster creates an illusionary image of something they can vividly imagine, such as
a piece of terrain, a creature, an object, or something completely derived, that fits
within a 3-meter cube. The image is visually realistic. The caster may have it animate
in a predetermined way as long as it stays within the illusion's boundaries.

A spell plenty of young illusionists use, generally to offer information to others. These types of
illusions are not meant to be deceptive, but rather give a powerful diagram to another ally.

Invisibility
Enchantment, Illusion

10 Stamina to Cast PP Value: 100

This spell has a duration of 1 minute and requires focus.
Touch
1 target object or creature

Affected object or creature becomes invisible. Creatures affected this way gain 2
points of favor on tests made to remain inconspicuous.

110
 A basic spell used to sneak swiftly and quietly, offering no visual stimulus to any creatures
around.

Dayterror
Enchantment, Illusion, Array, Divination

47 Stamina to Cast PP Value: 470

This spell has a duration of 1 minute.
10 meters
1 target creature

The caster learns the affected creature's worst fear, given the creature has one. The
creature hears quiet but prominent audio based on its worst fear for the spell's
duration.

Upon casting and at the beginning of each turn during the spell's duration, each
creature affected is dealt 4d6 Psyche damage. When an affected creature is dealt
damage this way, it may make a Will contest against the caster. Upon succeeding, it is
dealt no damage and ends this effect on itself.

A horrifying spell that allows one's worst fears to seep directly into their conscience, invading
their mind and slowly eating away at it. This spell can be extremely harmful and may have
drastic effects on some.

111
Rejuvenation
Deeper forms of healing are hard to come by, and magical healing never comes
without a cost. Creatures cannot be healed by mana alone; rather spells are able to
convert tangible materials into a healing effect, specifically when it comes to mortal
wounds that may cost one their life. These effects are common amongst clerics and
druids and take much practice to learn.

Alleviate
Alteration

8 Stamina to Cast PP Value: 80

This spell requires concentration or ends immediately after casting.

Touch
1 target creature

Upon casting and at the beginning of each turn after for the duration of the spell, the
affected creature regains 1d8 SHP.

A basic healing spell that mends surface-level wounds over time.

Heal
Alteration

6 Stamina to Cast PP Value: 60

This spell requires concentration or ends immediately after casting.

Touch
1 target creature

112
Upon casting and at the beginning of each turn after for the duration of the spell, the
affected creature regains 1d4 DHP. This effect cannot force a creature with 25 or more
current DHP to regain any amount.

Each time the affected creature regains DHP this way, a Common component must be
consumed. If the caster does not have enough components, this effect ends instead.

A strong healing spell that converts artificial components into a product of superior healing.

Harmonize
Alteration

10 Stamina to Cast PP Value: 100

This spell requires concentration or ends immediately after casting.

Touch
1 target creature

Upon casting and at the beginning of each turn after for the duration of the spell, the
affected creature regains 1d8 DHP. This effect cannot force a creature with 100 or
more current DHP to regain any amount.

Each time the affected creature regains DHP this way, a Rare component must be
consumed. If the caster does not have enough components, this effect ends instead.

A spell that uses basic, yet powerful components to reattach one's soul to its body, mending its
deeper wounds.

Upon succeeding the test, the foraging
player gains a random amount of the
resource (possible amounts also listed
with each foragable component). Upon

resource is found.

Exceptional Success and Failure

When a player makes a test against a
foraging rating and succeeds the roll be
double or more, the amount of time
they spend searching for it will be
reduced.

If the player’s test is over double what

the foraging rating rolled, they find it in
half the time. If the player’s test is over
triple what the foraging rating rolled,
they find it in a third of the time, so on.

In other cases, the component a player

is trying to forage may be impossible to
find, whether it be depleted or the
player be searching in the wrong biome.
Regardless, the GM should take note of
whether or not it is available
beforehand.

This information may be disclosed to

the player or kept from the player,
predominantly based on how much
information the character has and GM
discretion. If a player attempts to
forage for a component that is
impossible to find in the given
conditions, rolls always fail.

157
Material Components
Material components are used to build the structural components of items. Often
blades, plating, and framework are made from these. These are the most abundant
form of components and the most common components used in crafting. Some items
require only material components, though most if not all components require at least 1
material component.

The more powerful material components are, the more durable they are and the more
powerful they are. A lot of the time, this also comes with heavier weights. Rarer
material components are often required not only for sustaining constant use, but also
to capacitate powerful inner-workings of complex items. Some items include powerful
cores inside it that emit constant energy, and without a strong material to hold it, the
item would destroy itself.

One common type of material component seen in the wild are called Monsterparts.
Although the name is vague, they come in more specific varieties. For instance, a Rigid
Monsterpart may actually be a Rigid Bone, an Impervious Monsterpart may actually
be an Impervious Dragon Scale.

Crude Material Components

Crude material components (Crude MC) have little strength and are often
unprocessed or unrefined. Often, these types of materials can be found virtually
anywhere. These comprise the “sticks and stones” type of weapons.

165
Refinement Components
Refinement components are small pieces that can make an item lighter, smaller, or
even more efficient. This can be achieved through highly conductive materials,
substances with strong arcane capacity, or even things as powerful as nanotechnology.

The most common forms of refinement components are precious metals and alchemical
substrates. Precious metals allow devices to have a more refined electronic structure,
offer more precise calculations internally with less space. On the other side, more
potent alchemical substances are able to contain more powerful runes, granting
permanent magical effects on the item.

Much like material components, some refinement components found during

adventuring are called Monsterparts. This is an umbrella term for items that creatures
may drop, specifically those that may be used as refinement components. For instance,
a Cryptic Monsterpart may actually be a Cryptic Feather, a Mystic Monsterpart may
actually be a Vial of Mystic Blood.

Crude Refinement Components

Crude refinement components (Crude RC) are rudimentary and barely offer much in
the way of efficiency. Often they grant minor conductivity or arcane capacity, though
their small amount of help does make some inexpensive items possible.

Power components are the rarest form of component and are not seen in a plethora of
items, especially those that are more common. Generally, an item does not require one
or more power components unless they hold a specific characteristic that requires such.

Power components produce or store usable energy, whether it be mechanical or arcane

in nature, to power their larger systems. Long ago, different types of cores and cells
were designed specifically for this purpose, small devices that harness the output of
different effects, such as chemical reactions and radiation.

Crude Power Components

Crude power components (Crude PC) are extremely rudimentary, unprocessed, and
most potential is locked away by a lack of refinement. It’s rare that materials of this
sort see use.

Common Power Components

Common power components (Common PC) are basic and primitive enough to be used
in some infrastructure, but not commonly in handheld items such as weapons or
armor. This type of energy output is often not designed into items of similar
complexity.

Legendary Power Components

Legendary power components (Legendary PC) are not only difficult to produce, but
difficult to design. Power levels of this extremity are hard to harness into a small
space, thus making such components very infrequent and niche.

Mythical power components (Mythical PC) are some of the most powerful
components, of any form, known to mortals. They are able to produce, store, and
expel mass amounts of energy while still processing and narrowing these forms into
usable outbursts, all confined to a very small space.

Creatures
Throughout one’s travels, you’ll come across many different lifeforms. Some will be
large, some will be small, several will try to kill you.

Creatures can be broken into 5 types: abominations, beasts, constructs, humanoids,

and primordials. These types are further broken into classifications, with more than
meaningful to list. Examples include goblinoids, arthropods, and the undead.

Each creature may use any Standard Action unless otherwise stated, and should have
subtraits and traits similar to PCs. Each creature is controlled by the GM and its
behaviors are dictated as such.

Unlike PCs, creatures may have a 0 as a subtrait score. This generally means that they
are nearly incapable of making use of that given characteristic.

Difficulty Ratings
Every creature has a Difficulty Rating (DR), which coincides with a player’s level. A DR
10 creature should be of similar capability to a level 10 character. This does not mean
that a level 10 character will often survive the encounter.

A creature’s DR is grossly simplified, and doesn’t offer information on where a creature

is strong or where a creature is weak. Circumstance weighs a lot in the fate of combat
and survival, so GMs beware when producing combat situations. A level 10 character
that can fly has a substantial chance of success against a level 100 terrestrial creature.

Drops and Harvestables

Every creature has an amount of XP based on its level of power. This may vary based
on what items it's holding. This XP should be granted if the players succeed in the
encounter, and this does not always mean killing it. Persuasion and cunning may be the
means to a successful encounter.

If a player enters an encounter without full success, such as killing a creature that they
were meant to keep alive, they may be offered half XP. If the encounter was entered
with a party of players, the XP should be split evenly amongst them.

On top of XP, creatures have a number of items and harvestable parts they may offer
upon incapacitation or death. Items are easy to obtain from dead creatures and
slightly more difficult to obtain from living creatures, but harvestable components do
require that the creature be dead or that the creature die in the process of harvesting.

178
Whenever an attempt is made to harvest from a creature, a test must be made based
on the specific circumstance, listed on each creature’s stat block. For instance, if a
player would like to harvest a basilisk's bones, they must make an Engineering test. If it
succeeds 17, they are rewarded with 3d10 bones. Upon failing, the bones are destroyed,
made unusable, or unimbued.

179
Arthropods
Often coming in the form of little squishable bugs, some arthropods are large and
menacing. Plenty of historical experimentation and odd atmospheric conditions have
produced some natural abominations, creating giant critters ready to eat the flesh of
the living.

Mite
Tiny Abomination, Arthropod

The most mediocre form of creature recorded during adventuring, they are small and
rather difficult to hit, but otherwise very easy to squish.

Draconic
Even though dragons are some of the most mythical creatures woven in the songs of
young bards, not all dragons are made equal. There are two types of draconic
creatures: lesser dragons and greater dragons. Unlike greater dragons, lesser dragons
are bred from a greater dragon and a selection of specific, substantially inferior
creatures. Regardless, most draconic creatures come with excessive power and innate
talents.

Basilisk
Large Primordial, Draconic

One of the weakest of the lesser of dragons, basilisks are the offspring of spectral
dragons and several potential lesser creatures. They have strong bodies with four legs
and a gaseous breath that can mentally affect creatures, but overall, they are weak in
comparison to others similar. In contrast, they are one of the most intelligent of the
lesser dragons.

Hydra

183
Large Primordial, Draconic

One of the more infamous lesser dragons, the hydra is well known for its ten heads,
flaming breath, and ability to grow its heads back if at least one remains. These
creatures are the offspring of chromatic dragons and applicable lesser reptilians. Even
though their skin is the softest of the dragons, their attacks can be utterly devastating.

Goblinoids
Often seen as mindless creatures, goblinoids actually show exceptional social hierarchy
and combat mechanics in comparison to their access to tools and lack of diplomacy. In
common goblin society, military conscription is mandatory and young goblins are put
on front lines to either prove themselves or fall in the process. The higher the rank of
militant, the safer position they receive.

Bugbear
Medium Humanoid, Goblinoid

A genetic anomaly in the world of goblins, bugbears are the most superior form of
goblinoid by birth. Naturally very stealthy and powerful, often using powerful surprise
sneak-attacks to their advantage.

Undead
Unlike dead creatures, undead creatures have been reanimated through necromantic
magic. With some exceptions, these creatures have no free will and simply follow a
number of commands per their creator. If a creature as such is given a long-term
command, such as “kill everybody”, they may go on their way in a pseudo-form of free
will, though this comes with the limitation of specific goals.

Feral Vampire
Medium Humanoid, Undead

An undead humanoid creature created through ancient Elven experimentation. Though

such experiments have ceased, many vampires sustained the ability to breed, and thus
their population stayed steady.

Wildlife
Many creatures roam the dense forests and inhospitable tundras. Some are rarer than
others, but each have their own unique properties. Often these creatures live in a
natural ecological cycle that thrives in a vacuum, but even more often this cycle is
disrupted by those who are hungry, greedy, or just exceptionally stupid.

Bear
Medium Beast, Wildlife

A large wildlife beast, very powerful and larger than many other animals. Naturally
docile unless protective, though it will fight oncoming assailants and only flee if mortally

Large Abomination, Wildlife

A very large amalgam creature with the body of a lion and head and wings of an

mountainous habitats. They often are purely defensive creatures, not going out of
their way to attack other creatures but doing what it takes to defend themselves and
subdue threats as necessary.

Advanced Rules

204
Perfecting Craft
Over the course of your travel, you will find yourself needing to complete dynamic
objectives and, figuratively and literally, moving targets. Given each creature has
different defenses, contrasting reactions to new effects, and so many ways of being a
nuisance to you and your party.

This makes crafting all the more valuable: upon crafting an item, a piece of armor, a
potion, a salve, an amulet, and artifact, you may choose all of its specifications from
the ground up. Every characteristic is by design, and you will be able to customize your
strengths and limitations to fit your situation.

Items are not only something you hold or wear, but some items may even be
embedded beneath your skin, making them a semi-permanent part of you. This process
is called augmentation, and modifies you and your abilities on a biological level.

Tool Stations
Some tool stations may be as small as a forge or a kit built into the wall of a shop, or as
large as an entire laboratory. Regardless, it is an essential part of basic crafting.

In order to craft an item or a component, you will need a tool station. These are
stationary structures that have the required tools and resources necessary to fabricate
any generic item. There are several main things that any tool station should have at
least some of, including carving tools, metallurgy kits, versatile adhesives, and basic
manufacturing devices. Although, all tool stations should have one of two things, if not
something similar: kinetic dust or duchess substrate.

Kinetic dust is a magnetic microdust that can be shaped and molded into nearly any
shape, as well as dynamically hardened or reduced back into sand. Its tensile strength
is not high enough to be used as a weapon, but its versatility makes it extremely useful,
and often very common, in crafting. On the flip side of this, duchess substrate is an
organically-growing alchemical putty that not only can be used to carve runes, but also
to design new runes through controlled experimentation. Over time, the duchess
substrate will absorb mana from the atmosphere to replenish itself.

Spending Time
Different types of items and different rarities take differing amounts of time to
construct. More complex tool stations may modify these times based on GM discretion.

Item Component

205
 Crude 30 minutes 5 minutes

Common 1 hour 10 minutes

Extraordinary 3 hours 30 minutes

Rare 8 hours 2 hours

Legendary 24 hours 6 hours

Mythical 72 hours 18 hours

Customizing Your Stuff

Every item in Utopia has a rarity, existing in one of six brackets: Crude, Common,
Extraordinary, Rare, Legendary, or Mythical. Whatever the rarity of the final item
depicts what rarity of components are required. In some cases, finalized by GM
discretion, specific components may be required to craft some items.

When crafting an item, you may add or

20 RP or less Crude
remove features, each of which is listed
in this chapter and specific to the type 21-40 RP Common
of item you are crafting. Any given
effect will increase or decrease the 41-70 RP Extraordinary
amount of Rarity Points (RP) the item
has, as well as the number of 71-110 RP Rare
components necessary to craft it.
111-160 RP Legendary

The more Rarity Points an item has, the 161-220 RP Mythical

more valuable it is and the rarer it
becomes. 221 RP or more Uncraftable

If an item, upon final design, has a negative RP value, treat it as if it is positive instead.
This is most commonly found with consumables and artifacts with purely negative
effects.

How Features Work

There are two basic types of features that you may add to an item: stackable and
non-stackable. Stackable features may be added to a number of times, specifically an
unlimited number of times unless otherwise specified. The RP value must be added for
each stack added. On the other hand, non-stackable features may only be added up to
1 time per item.

206
With the exception of consumables and artifacts, on top of the added or removed RP,
each feature will have an effect of what type of components must be added and how
many of each. Weapons do not innately require power components, but any weapon
that deals damage outside of Physical will, due to the requirement of the Harsh
feature.

Consumables and artifacts each function differently in component requirement, each

detailed in their crafting sections. Simply, the more RP a consumable or artifact has,
the more components of specific types it will require, each at their own rate.

207
Fast weapons are the least damaging weapon per attack, though attacks from these
weapons can be made in quick succession. Unlike other weapons, over half of the
attacks from these weapons are often unresponded due to the high rate at which they
come.

Due to their shear size and weight limitations, it’s often more expensive to make these
types of weapons include specialized features. Regardless, these remain as powerful
sidearms, especially due to their ability to make the most use out of a single second of
time.

Slow weapons are the largest, bulkiest, and heaviest of potential weapons. These vary
in how much time it takes to attack with, but they have one commonality in this: they
take a while.

Most attacks made with slow weapons will be responded to in some way, so the general
goal with slow weapons is to break defenses with sheer force. These types of weapons
can push the most amount of damage, fire at the longest ranges, but are the slowest to
use in battle.

Slow Weapons
● Innately requires 3 turn action to attack with.
● Innately requires 1 hand to attack with.
● 1 stack of Slam or at least 1 stack of Harsh is required.
● Innately has 0 meters of close range and 0 meters of far range.
● Innately does not use any modifiers when calculating damage.

Requires 3 Material Components to craft (Minimum 0 Power Components, 0

Chest armor is the most defensive piece a creature can wear. Contrary to its name,
most chest armor is adorned on the torso and legs, and even includes entire sets of
clothing.

Based on its design, it’s very expensive to add non-defensive features to chest armor.
Often these types of armor are rather mundane and produce more protection than any
other type of equipment.

Consumables are unique but vague in definition, pertaining to any item that can only
be used a number of times before it is destroyed or void of usefulness.

Consumables come in a plethora of forms including potions, kits, salves, injections, food
and drugs, and several others. Although, with their limited use comes the lower need for
materials, outside of rarer forms.

More importantly, consumables are one of the only forms of portable medicine,
specifically medicine capable of healing one of mortal wounds that a good nap will not
take care of.

Consumables
● Innately requires 1 open hand to activate.
● Innately requires 2 turn actions to activate.
● Innately consumed and destroyed upon activation.
● Innately affects only the user that activates the consumable.

Artifacts are extremely unique and include some of the most complicated designs.
Artifacts are anything you cannot wear like armor or use as a basic weapon, though it
does include amulets, capes, rings, packs, and other accessories.

An artifact can be nearly anything, though it has much tighter specifications, broken up
into active features and passive features.

While most passive features have a flat RP modification, active features must have a
chosen amount of time necessary to trigger. The faster it is to trigger an activated
feature, the more expensive the feature becomes. Every activated feature must have
its own activation-time modifier.

The Arcane Arts
Spellcraft is an ancient form that has been used for combat, utility, healing, conjuring,
and many other things. As powerful as it sounds, it is also extremely versatile. Many
casters have designed and constructed spells that have stood the test of time.

Since its discovery, the use of mana to carve holes in the dimensions has been utilized
for not only single spells, but in artifice and in infrastructure. Mana is imbued in the
atmosphere, it is everywhere around us, and you can feel it.

All creatures have an innate sense of mana. How tuned this sense is may be different
per creature, but it’s there just like vision or hearing is. More than that, you can sense
when magic is cast, when mana is disturbed, even when there is no mana around you.
It almost has an odor to it, and in that sense, every spell has its own scent.

Spellcraft was founded by ancient dwarves, a subspecies now extinct: crystal dwarves.
Simply, a spell is a hole poked in reality, utilizing the Aether to pull an effect from
somewhere and point it somewhere else. The exact implications of each spell is based
on the spellcaster’s skill, energy, and design.

In the time of ancient dwarves, there were only four arcane arts: the Art of Evocation,
the Art of Array, the Art of Enchantment, and the Art of Wake. Albeit, in the time of
creation, these arts were not nearly as well defined or practiced. It wasn’t until the
independence of the twilight elves that the remaining four arts were discovered, much
with the aid of the harboring iron dwarves: the Art of Illusion, the Art of Divination, the
Art of Necromancy, and the Art of Alteration.

Over years of development, the arts have not only been honed into the practicable
states that they are in today, but also they were used to develop runes. While normal
spells use the soul as a conduit and thus drain the energy of its user, runes allow this
energy to be siphoned from a machine, using the runes as a more specified conduit.
This allowed items, such as weapons, to be imbued with magical properties. Given, rune
carving makes for much more specific imbuements that cannot be changed once
finalized.

Casting and Customizing Spells

In their base form, a spell requires 3 turn actions and an amount of stamina based on
what effects it has.

This chapter will further detail what features may be added to a spell and what
respective arcane art is required to be able to cast it. Every effect consists of Power

249
Points (PP). Upon final design, a spell costs an amount of stamina equal to the amount
of PP divided by 10, rounded up.

All spell features may be added multiple times, adding its PP cost upon every addition
of the feature. For instance, if you were to use 3 stacks of the Energy feature
(Destruction feature in Evocation), the spell would have 75 PP. Thus, the spell would
cost 8 stamina. As well, any creature that knows the Art of Evocation may cast it.

Any spell may be crafted at any point, and a caster is purely limited by their
imagination and the cost of the spell. As well, a caster may have predetermined spells
that they choose from, there is no difference in cost either way.

Anatomy of a Spell
A spell can be broken into three distinct parts: the maw, the wake, and the throat. Not
all spells have all three of these parts, some consist of only a maw.

The Maw
The maw is the heart of a spell, and every spell must have one. In literal terms, the maw
is the actual point where the Aether is pierced.

A spell always originates from its maw. If a spell only affects 1 object or creature, that
means that the maw is inside that entity. When a single-target spell has a lingering
effect, if the creature leaves the spell’s range, the spell continues to be active. This is
not true if the spell has a wake.

An important characteristic of a spell’s maw is its Signature. Some are able to read a
spell’s Signature, and with pertinent information, deduce who the caster is and gain
information on how it was casted, even what circumstances the caster was under in
some cases.

The Wake
Only spells utilizing the Art of Wake have a wake. This is the area of effect that the maw
can take advantage of when casting spells. In essence, this is the “ripple” caused by the
puncturing of the Aether, and what allows the spell to have a wider effect. Without
using the Art of Wake, a spell’s wake is infinitely small.

The Throat
The throat of a spell is what produces the gap between the caster and the maw. The
throat has an effect on mana that is readable and also proves the weakest portion of a
spell.

250
Those with training have the ability to stifle a spell with a throat, an action called
choking a spell. Spells without a throat are impervious to this issue.

Magical Mediums
Any spell can be cast through up to 1 meter of a solid medium. This means that the
caster may force the maw to travel up to 1 meter through the floor, through their
weapon, through a wall, a combination of all, before the spell activates. Without the Art
of Array, this is the maximum range of a spell.

Some materials may be void of mana, such as lead. In this case, they cannot act as a
medium and will force a spell to fail upon attempt.

Spellcap
Casting a spell requires stamina. Every spell has its own specific stamina cost, and the
amount of stamina a caster can spend on a single spell is based on their Resolve score.

If a spell has a discounted stamina cost, the discount is calculated before observing the
spellcap. For instance, if a caster’s spells cost 2 less stamina to cast while having a
Resolve score of 5, they can cast spells that naturally cost up to 7 stamina while only
paying 5.
