While this Talent is slotted, gain +10 per [C&E Path Rank] to Skill tests using the Education or Folklore Skills. Additionally, the Blackbird’s memory is nearly eidetic, and they may learn twice as many languages.

Catgut & Bone Needles (2 AP, Combat Action): Make a Heal test. If successful, an adjacent ally can ignore an Injury for the rest of the Combat Scene.

Stanch the Flow (2 AP, Special Action): Make a Heal test. If successful, remove the Bleeding condition from an adjacent ally.

Triage (Extinguish Non-Combat Action): Once between Rekindlings, the Blackbird can heal C&E Path Rank Damage levels and one Injury on one adjacent ally. This takes 1 hour.

The Old Lore (Rekindling Action): The Blackbird can temporarily modify all of their flock’s weapons to have the Enchanted Quality, but only against a specific creature (i.e., a striga lord, a woe mantis, etc.). This effect lasts C&E Path Rank Combat Scenes.

Anoint (2 AP, Special Action): Once between Rekindlings, the Blackbird may prepare C&E Path Rank adjacent Fatebound companions’ weapons with the Enchanted Quality. This effect lasts until the end of the next Combat Scene or 1 hour, whichever comes sooner.

Immortal Blade (3 AP, Extinguish Combat Action): All of the Enchanted weapons of the Blackbird and their flock do Bane Damage for the next C&E Path Rank Turns to any creature with the No Mortal Blade Trait.

Buried Deep (Passive Bonus): All Damage dice that come up less than 2+Skill Rank in Ranged are considered to be rolls of 2+Skill Rank in Ranged.

Step & Crank (2 AP, Maneuver Action): Perform the Maneuver Action and Load Action simultaneously.

Devastating Force (3 AP, Extinguish Action): The Blackbird fires a bolt unerringly through practically anything. A horse. A wagon wheel. The brittle slats of a dilapidated house. Maybe even a decayed stone wall. The Blackbird’s target is Slain!.
