FEATS

Adamant Will
Your force of will is such that it grants you an additional raise on all opposed tests as part of spells or feats that deal with spells (such as Redirect the Hurricane).

Calm the Winds
If you would suffer any type of Psychic Phenomena, you may spend resource points up to your level. Doing so allows you to adjust the roll of Psychic Phenomena by up to 5 points per resource point spent.

Combo Maker
When casting a Spell Combo, reduce the Focus Power TN by 5.

Delay the Storm
If you would cause any type of Psychic Phenomena, you may make a Focus Power test using Willpower + Arcana (TN 20 + 5 per exploded die) as a free action. If it succeeds, delay the onset of all Psychic Phenomena caused by you by up to 5 rounds. However, if you have accrued more Psychic Phenomena by that time, those effects stack and unleash at the same time.

Eldritch Trick
This feat may be purchased multiple times. Each time you purchase this feat, choose one of the options below to become available for you to use. Whenever you successfully cast a spell, you can apply instances of this feat based on the number of raises you have on the magic test. If a spell has additional effects based on raises to the magic test, raises used for this feat are not counted for determining those effects. You can apply multiple instances of this feat as long as you have enough raises for all the effects used. If the spell cast copies itself, you must assign the effects to each copy individually.

• Accuracy Mastery (1 raise): When casting a spell with the Touch or Ranged Touch keyword, you gain 1 raise on the attack roll.
• Blast Mastery (2 raises): Increase or decrease the Blast radius of a spell by 1.
• Damage Mastery (1/3 raises): For 1 raise, add +1k0 to the damage of a spell. For 3 raises, add +0k1 damage.
• Ether Mastery (1 raise): One creature targeted by the spell takes 1 check on any opposed tests made against it.
• Fatal Mastery (2 raises): When casting a spell that deals damage, it deals at least 1 wound, regardless of the target's Resilience.
• Piercing Mastery (1 raise): Reduce the Aura of one target when calculating damage from this spell by 1.
• Range Mastery (1 raise): Increase the range of a spell with the Attack keyword by 5m.

Fettered Push
You can halve the dice gained by Pushing a spell in order to treat it as Fettered for determining Psychic Phenomena.

Redirect the Hurricane
Once per round, if you would be within the effect of any Psychic Phenomena, you can make an opposed Focus Power test using Willpower + Arcana against the result of the roll that caused the phenomena (as well as any other characters using this feat) as a Reaction. If you succeed, you can choose where the Psychic Phenomena occur, within 50m and in your line of sight. If the phenomena was not caused by a roll (such as an Atlantean unraveling Paradox), this feat cannot be used.

Stop the Tide
If you would cause or be affected by Psychic Phenomena, you can spend a Hero Point to stop it from occurring at the time the Psychic Phenomena is caused.

So, another question that comes to mind regarding eldritch trick, Specifically range mastery. does it allow you to extend the range of conjuration spells? For things like using jaunt to move 15m instead of 10. The wording makes me imagine that it does but I just want to be sure.

[Amanojyaku]

The answer is now no, with no doubt whatsoever.

[ScrapyardDragon]

For delay the storm, I presume the focus power test is the same one that caused the phenomena you're trying to delay (and that it itself can cause more phenomena) yes?

[Amanojyaku]

No.

[ScrapyardDragon]

Sorry to once again be the guy prodding at eldritch trick with a stick seeking a definite answer but those who debate me on it won't do it themselves so I have to ask; is it safe to presume that the " If the spell cast copies itself, this applies only to the first copy unless those copies are based on raises." clause on damage mastery should be applied to the feat as a whole or just damage mastery itself?

That is to say; would accuracy mastery apply to every meteor from energy meteor, or just the first?
Likewise, does range mastery work on every magic missile you're shooting at a berk?

also, as a side question for my own curiosity, can blast mastery *give* a spell a blast rating? I would presume that is why the cost is 2 raises instead of just 1.

[Amanojyaku]

To answer the third: Pen 0 is different from not having Pen at all. Blast (0) is different from not having Blast at all.

[Amanojyaku]

Stop the Tide clarified: It's triggered when the Phenomena are caused, not when they go off. No more question about whether it works with Delay the Storm (it doesn't).

[Amalvi]

The piercing mastery of Eldritch trick should be buffed significantly.
Compare it to other masteries, would you say that 3pen is equal to +0k1 to damage? or that 2pen is as valuable as inflicting a wound regardless of resilience?

Piercing mastery is almost unusable with its current value of just -1to aura only for that attack

[GuardianTempest]

On the other hand it's very hard to gather lots of Aura without homebrew that specifically gives you such amounts. Chances are you also have Emerald Frost at that point, Piercing Mastery would be a nice thing to have.
