If you use the optional spin rules (page 214), this level of success and higher on a defense roll generates spin. 5+ shifts = Potent success: Not only is the quality of the success remarkable, it may have some unexpected, secondary benefits, such as a deeper insight into a problem at hand. 1. 2. 3. 4.

without needing to invoke any aspects. A player will usually succeed against a difficulty of1lessthanhischaractersskill, but might need to invoke an aspect on occasion. A player has a relatively equal chance of succeeding or needing to invoke an aspect againstadifficultyequaltohischaractersskill. A player will usually need to invoke an aspect to succeed against a difficulty of 1 higher than his character's skill. A player will almost always need to invoke an aspect to succeed against a difficulty of 2 higher thanhischaractersskill, but has a fair chance of making the roll as well.

Moderate consequences cancel out 4 stress They last until the end of the next session after recovery starts. Think of things that are badenoughtomakeyousay,Man,you really should go take care of that/get some rest.(Examples:BellySlash,BadFirst Degree Burn, Twisted Ankle, Exhausted, Drunk.)

Great (+4) and Superb (+5) indicate veteran or masterful capacity, or the combination of extreme talent and good training. Fantastic (+6) and above skirt the boundaries of natural human capacity.

Severe consequences cancel out 6 stress stress. They last for the next scenario (or two to three sessions, whichever is longer) after recovery starts.

Thaumaturgy (page 261) Skills 1. Determine the desired spell effect which will determine the complexity of the spell. 2. If complexity > Lore, prepare: make up the deficit by invoking aspects, making declarations, accepting or inflicting consequences, or skipping scenes. 3. After prep, proceed as with Evocation steps 3 and 4. Repeat each exchange until total power equals complexity. Conflict Actions Evocation (page 249) 1. Determine the effect you want to achieve, describing the element you want to use. 2. Describe the effect in terms of one of the following basic conflict actions: attack, block, maneuver, or counterspell. 3. Decide how many shifts of power you want to put into the spell. T ake 1 mental stress, plus 1 for each point of power greater than your Conviction modified by any power bonuses from a focus item. 4. Roll Discipline to cast the spell, plus any control bonus from a focus item. The difficulty is equal to the power of the spell. Thisrollisalsousedfortargetingifyoure aiming it at a target. If you do not meet or beat the difficulty to control, the margin of failure turns into shifts of backlash (bad things happening to you) or fallout (bad things happening to everything else). Declarations
