Spirit Speech

Spirit Speech. Most objects and creatures existing in the Prime Reality Plane cast a spiritual shadow in a dimension known as the Umbral Realm. Most of these spirits are known as Gafflings, quasi-sentient reflections of everyday items. A Changeling with Spirit Speech may spend a point of Glamour and converse with an object in the Prime Reality Plane and receive answers from its Gaffling counterpart from the Umbral Realm. The quality of those answers is largely dependent on the type of Gaffling. The spirits of animals will likely desire to report on the habitual actions taken recently (previous 24 hours), while a 3.4 billion-year-old stone may wish to discuss a very exciting “recent” event that happened 6 million years ago. Since Gaffling spirits are considered quasi-sentient, their speech to Changelings is almost never straight forward and will usually require an Intelligence + Investigation roll to fully comprehend its meaning.  Unenchanted people viewing the the speech will assume the caster is talking to themselves or to an imaginary friend.  Changelings, Chimera, and other enchanted creatures may overhear the conversation normally.

Chimerical Powers

Chimerical Cantrips affect the realm of the Dreaming. They are effective against Fae, other Changelings, and Chimera, but they cannot be easily used against mortals or supernatural creatures dwelling in the Prime Reality Plane. Before a Changeling can use a Chimerical Cantrip on a mortal, the target must become enchanted first. A human that is naturally sleeping and dreaming is considered self-enchanted and as their mind is visiting the realm of the Active Dreaming
