T:Craft

Craft is a Talent unlocked through the Hedge Magic Codex. Craft is used to correctly interpret and precisely follow all of the nuanced and often misleading or incomplete instructions of a particular bit of hedge magic, called a crafting. It is important to realize that hedge magic is very specifically the imprecise, unreliable, or undesirable bits of magic left behind by the stewards of the arcane disciplines. There is literally an art involved in using Craft. It is an aptitude some possess more than others and one that can be improved with experience. But ultimately, some craftings are genuine works of art while others are wasted effort on rubbish.   Particular uses of Craft require unlocking additional Xtras from the Hedge Magic Codex known as Arts.

Special:

  • Craft is only used for crafting actions (Refer to Hedge Magic Codex for details).
  • Craft requires you have access to at least one Art in order to use it.
  • If you don’t have a rank of at least Average (+1) in Craft, you don’t have the talent and can’t use it.

 

Overcome: Conjuration is the Art of producing things upon demand seemingly from nowhere. In truth, the conjuror is not creating something from nothing. Rather, the conjuror has an item which he infuses with mana to establish a gateway between himself and the thing he’s looking for. He then pulls that thing through the gateway, producing the effect of having spontaneously created it. Conjuration is a flashy and impressive use of Craft, but it is also an expensive use of mana and can fail spectacularly—unless you really wanted to accidentally pull a flesh-eating netherbeast from your cloak with your bare hands. Conjuring is an Overcome action using Craft.   Voidcalling is the Art of summoning something very dark and dangerous from the Void with the intention of binding it to do your will. It is never a recommended practice, even amongst those who have done it. Everyone eventually regrets calling upon the Void, and yet there are still those who sink to this level, whether out of ignorance, arrogance, or desperation. Voidcalling is an Craft Overcome action using Craft against two separate undisclosed difficulties.

Create an Advantage: Charming is the Art of placing curses and blessings upon people, places, and things. The objective of charming is to create a specific advantage, called a charm. A charm is a particular curse or boon. Charming is a time-consuming, material-intensive, tedious, and finicky practice at the best of times. It is best done in a quiet sanctuary with no time pressure and no possibility of interruption. Often, depending upon the charm, it can be rather difficult to determine if the charming worked at all. Charming is a Create Advantage action using Craft.
