Moderate Boon: (Breath of the Sister) You are immune to non-magical difficult terrain caused by heat, ash, or sand, and you can breathe normally in smoke, dust, or choking winds.
Major Boon: (Ash-Walker's Mercy) When you are reduced to 0 HP, a cloak of ash surrounds you. You are restored to 1 HP, become concealed until the end of your next turn, and regain one spell slot of your highest level. This can occur once per day.
Minor Curse: (Whispers in the Dust) You constantly hear the whispers of the forgotten dead. You take a –2 status penalty to Perception checks in natural environments unless actively listening for spirits or echoes.
Moderate Curse: (Ashbound Soul) You can no longer benefit from magical healing unless it is delivered in an area containing dust, cinders, or ash.
