Mask Powers

Tier III Zhyrs are nominally incapable of utilizing Elorean invocations, but are equipped with their rebreathers, which auto-store runes for their own usage.

For a Tier III Zhyr to utilize a Mask power, the following is observed:

1. A d10 is rolled. The Mask will only initialize on an 8 or higher, and if the roll is a 1, the Mask working inflicts Backlash³
2. If the Mask is allowed to initialize, a second d10 is rolled. The following number corresponds to the effect chosen below.

Table of Mask Powers
Roll	Name	Description	Effect
1	Chilling Wind	The air around begins to feel chilly, taking whatever strength the enemy possesses and rendering it useless.	Inflicts a -2 Strength and Melee disadvantage against all enemy units for 1 turn.
2
3	Fearful Gaze	The rune glows and engages, causing any wh look at it to feel paralyzed by a unnatural and primal fear.	A selected enemy unit must roll an MDef check vs the Zhyr's Intimidation roll. Failure to meet or exceed the roll will paralyze4 the unit for one turn.
4	Heaven's Chains	Multiple runes sprout and fire ethereal chains throughout the area, ensnaring and immobilizing all enemy units.	Chains are fired out at 4df+5, and enemy units must roll AGI to dodge the chains or Melee/Ranged to destroy the chains. Anyone successfully hit will be inflicted with the Entangled status.
5	Cavalcade of Angels	The air fills with a wondrous symphony of sounds before the entire area is blasted apart.	Deals 4df+5 explosive damage to all enemy units in the area.
6	Shadowwave	A blanket of unnatural darkness envelops the field, threatening to consume the sanity of all who enter it.	Deals 4df+4 mental damage to all enemy units in the area.
7	Ethereal Lance	A rune generates a solid lance of essence, before launching it at a nearby opponent.	Deals 4df+6 piercing/magical damage against a selected enemy unit.
8	Ethereal Barrier	A rune generates a large pane of essence that protects the Zhyr from all incoming damage.	All damage towards the Zhyr is negated for 5 turns or when the barrier has absorbed 10 PHealth worth of damage, whichever occurs first.
9	Nightmare Gaze	The rune forces a Hallucination against the first enemy who gazes at it.	A selected enemy unit must roll an MDef check vs the Zhyr's Intimidation roll. Failure to meet or exceed will result in 1 MHealth damage and the Hallucination status.
10	Resurrection Bolt	Targets a friendly ally who has deceased, and raises them back with full health and stats. If there are no friendly deceased allies on the field, it will automatically resurrect any deceased.	A deceased ally or foe is resurrected with full health and no status afflictions.

Invocations Table

IF THE SPELL IS BEING CAST FROM A WORKING, OR IF A CHARM OR SEAL IS BEING CREATED

1. A d10 is rolled, with the DC being 10 - the user's baseline Academics (no specs may be tagged). If this roll fails, no invocation may be attempted. If this roll critfails, Backlash is inflicted on the user.
2. After this, three d10s are rolled, which determine the following:
   1. The first d10 determines the nature of the spell;
   2. The second d10 determines the intensity (and DC to counter);
   3. The third d10 determines the range of effect.

Spell Nature Table
Number	Name	Description	Roll to Resist	Commonly Seen
1	Quicksilver	The caster's limbs are revitalized and energized, causing them to move faster.	Grants +2 Agi for 2 turns, no resist	Charm, Tag
2	Mending	The caster can heal even the most crippling of physical injuries, so long as the target is alive	Instantly heals 2 PHealth, no resist	Charm, Tag
3
4	Ethereal Lightning	The air fills with static before charged bolts of ethereal energy jump out and around, striking targets and inflicting immense searing pain.	PDef	Charm, Vial
5	Ethereal Lance	A blinding bolt of solidified ethereal energy surges forth and strikes.	PDef	Vial
6

8	Inverted World	The Inverted World reverses strengths and weaknesses, and flips the entirety of the world upside down for a group of targets. The weak suddenly find themselves strong, but the strong will find themselves broken like a straw over a knee.	MDef	Tag, Vial
9	Sever	Sever inflicts reality-enforcing powers on a target. It is virtually harmless to mundanes, but severely wounds mages and anomalous creatures.	PDef or MDef	Tag, Vial
10	Apportation	The revered Apportation spell takes time, but can easily teleport a user to safety, to a desired location… or a threat to be disposed of.	Agi	Tag

Charms

Seals

Tags

Tags are paper slips with the correct activation runes

Tags, unlike charms and vials, do not have a range - their effect is strictly contained to whatever surface they are on. However, this does mean that tags can be used to 'prepare' surfaces for later activation.

Vials

Vials are specially prepared glass and brass casings, sealed with wax and the correct activation runes melted into the wax. The inside of the vial is usually filled with a neutral fluid, typically blood (usually human, although other creatures can be used, and certain creatures are more prized over the other). Vials are meant to be utilized with a cartridge system to allow for quick firing of certain spells, particularly vector-type spells. It is not uncommon for vial mages to carry over two dozen prepared spells with them. Although not as plentiful as tags, vials allow for magic to carry itself in a stable configuration for a longer period of time, and is valued by soldiers, mercenaries, and traveling mages for their stability and safety of use once created.

Personal Invocations

The Garden

The Personal Invocation of Stella

The Nails

The Personal Invocation of Irene

The Scales

The Personal Invocation of Florence

Equipment

Equipment	Description	Effects
Zhyr Mask	The signature rebreather masks of a Zhyr. It is what provides a Zhyr with its anomalous abilities, and also houses the control seals that dictate a Zhyr's actions.	Grants +3 to Strength, Agility, and Melee. Inflicts 4df+5 blockable Mental damage every turn until removed or until the user's MHealth is reduced to zero.
Sakura Stunlock Rod	Combining the versatility of a Stunlock Rod with the almighty cutting power of a Sakura blade, the Sakura Stunlock Rod not only inflicts significant damage, but also stuns enemies after they have made contact with the weapon.	All strikes performed with this weapon ignore all PDef bonuses. Enemies hit with the weapon are inflicted with a Stunned counter.
Cartridge Rod	The new means of invoking Elorean magic, Cartridge Rods utilize a revolver-type system to 'fire' vials and release the energies stored within to utilize magical assaults to their fullest extent.	Allows users to utilize prepared vial-type Invocations.

Status Inflictions

The following is a list of status inflictions that may be inflicted upon characters and enemies throughout the Knights of Elora runs.

Status	Description	Effects
Burning	The target is on fire, literally.	Inflicts 1 unblockable damage at the start of every turn for 1d4 turns. Any subsequent hits that inflict Burning will not stack, but will restart the counter.
Entangled	The target has been bound up and movement is difficult.	All Agi and Mel rolls are taken with -2 penalty for the duration of the status.
Hallucination	The target's senses have been warped, and they cannot correctly perceive reality around them.	All perception rolls are taken at -4 penalty. Other effects as dictated.
Shielded	The target is currently being protected by a physical or ethereal shield that absorbs attacks directed at them.	Grants a +4 PDef magic-based advantage against melee strikes and +2 PDef advantage against handgun-caliber firearm strikes.
Stunned	The target is currently dazed and weakened.	The target takes a -1 penalty to all physical stats (PDef, Agi, Str, Perc, Mel, Rng) for 2 turns. Every additional Stunned counter not only resets the counter, but increases the degree of penalty (-1 turns into -2, -2 to -3, etc.).
Suppressed	The target is pinned down by heavy fire.	All units inflicted with the Suppressed skill must either remain low to the ground (taking a -2 penalty to Agi and Ranged) or may attempt to stand up to accurately fire (taking -2 penalty to PDef).

Footnotes

1. Any lost PHealth on a construct cannot be regained via battlefield means

2. Armor counts as a sacrificial layer of protection - can be repaired by engineering rolls in the field. Armor can be bypassed by large-caliber weaponry or specialized attacks, to be determined.

3. Backlash inflicts 4df+4 unavoidable physical damage on the user, but may be defended against utilizing MDef.

4. Paralyze status means that the unit cannot perform any action, and may only roll PDef or MDef when defending against attacks.
