Traditions

Characters with casting by default gain the Natural casting tradition. However, casters may be trained into another casting tradition as they learn their magic. In addition, traditions in this campaign include a a magic skill which replaces spellcraft for purposes such as crafting or identifying magic. For example, a character may use Knowledge (nature) to craft magic items using Cursed Blood magic while using Knowledge (local) to identify an effect created with Spell Breaker magic. You may use spellcraft in place of the associated magic skill, but doing so imposes a -5 penalty to the roll.
