Emperor's Hand ⸻ Ob [Target’s Forte]^ ⸻ 5 Actions

Cold blue fire arcs from the wizard's hand into the very soul of his prey, draining his strength.

Meeting the obstacle temporarily drains 1D of Forte from the victim. Extra successes can be spent to drain more Forte. Reducing Forte to zero incapacitates the target. The lost Forte dice then recover at a rate of 1D per minute or so (about 10 exchanges in Fight).

Falcon Skin ⸻ Ob 4 ⸻ 2 Actions

Invoking the names and powers of the shaper, the sorceress and trickster, the wizard transmutes his form and his belongings into that of a sleek falcon.

While sustaining the spell, you gain the stats and skills of a ‘Bird of Prey’ (see the Creature Codex pg 307). You may fly as the bird does (with Stride 24), but may not speak or gesticulate, and thus may not cast any further spells. No ability tests made while in bird-form carry back to your mannish-form.
— Note: For the purpose of sustaining spells, use the wizard's original Forte, not the bird's Forte.

Fish Lung ⸻ Ob 5 ⸻ 3 Actions

The briny water becomes air in the wizard’s mouth and lungs.

This let's the recipient to breathe underwater while sustained. Alternatively, can be used in reverse to effectively begin drowning a target so long as you sustain the effect.

Flame Finger ⸻ Ob 1 ⸻ 1 Actions

The sorceress snapped her fingers and a small bright flame leaped into life at the tip of her finger.

This tiny flame can be used to ignite flammable objects, make a fire, light candles, etc. By itself, it gives off the light of a candle, reducing light penalties, but it is easily blown out if you’re not careful. May also count as having tools for a Firebuilding or Arson test.

Force of Will ⸻ Ob [Target’s Will +6] ⸻ 5 Actions

The most foul sorcerous power is that of twisting man's will.

You implant forceful commands into the victim's mind. Your words become their thoughts: as if the victim had formulated them himself. They resonate against the character's personality for the rest of his days. You may permanently change one of the target’s beliefs, instincts, character traits to anything you like. This cannot be changed again without another use of Force of Will.

Gray Cloak ⸻ Ob 5 ⸻ 3 Actions

Cold tendrils of mist unfold from the sorcerer's robes, blurring shape, and hiding form.

The cloak increases all Perception / Observation obstacles for those looking in by +3 Ob. — Note: This counts as mist or fog, so traits that reduce darkness penalties are ineffective.
