Physical Augmentation Spell in The Wild Cards | World Anvil

Physical Augmentation

Like personalised Barriers, Physical Augmentation is hard to notice, yet extremely valuable for any user that gets into a fight. Where personalised Barriers boost one's defense, Physical Augmentation boosts one's offense by making its user stronger, faster, and even boosts one's senses. Its ultimate form is when combined with Hunting Steps and life-or-death battle experiences.   Because Physical Augmentation boosts oneself, and as such is not directly involved in any killing blow, its usage does not quality for being Marked under the Scrolls of the High Priest. This makes it the best offensive Tarot ability to use in warfare. The biggest threat is that an untrained user may lose their balance or break their weapons, making it very important to practice this ability.   Overusage of this ability may result in physical exhaustion, as one's body is not used to outputting that much strength. The muscle pains the day after often are described as worse than horrible hangovers. Advanced users tend to be constantly augmenting their body at low power, which helps train against this backlash. It also makes it easier to not be caught unaware.

Interesting. I like that it can have hangover-like effects if used too much.
