|
<p><strong>MERGING WITH AN ARCANUM</strong></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When you summon an Arcanum, you gain its merge benefits; those benefits last
|
|
until the Arcanum is dismissed (see below).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You cannot summon an Arcanum while already merged with one; you must first
|
|
dismiss the current Arcanum.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>DISMISSING AN ARCANUM</h2>
|
|
<p>An Arcanum can be dismissed in several ways:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Once the current scene ends, all Arcana are automatically dismissed.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If you die or fall unconscious while merged with an Arcanum, they are
|
|
dismissed.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If you leave the scene while merged with an Arcanum, they are dismissed.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You may willingly dismiss your Arcanum: this doesn't require an action, but
|
|
during a conflict it can only be done on your turn, before or after an
|
|
action.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>DISMISS EFFECTS</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Most Arcana have a powerful dismiss effect, which may only be activated when
|
|
you willingly dismiss the Arcanum as described above — if the Arcanum is
|
|
dismissed for any other reason, the dismiss effect cannot be triggered.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If the dismiss effect of an Arcanum deals damage, it will deal 10 extra
|
|
damage if you are level 20 or higher, or 20 extra damage if you are level 40
|
|
or higher.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You are also free to ignore the dismiss effect if you don't want to use it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>DOMAINS</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Each Arcanum is associated with a few key concepts or domains. The Game Master
|
|
should use these to establish the trials needed to bind the Arcanum, and to
|
|
adjudicate Rituals performed through the Ritual Arcanism Skill.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you create new Arcana for your world, make sure to associate them with
|
|
domains that allow for interesting Rituals.
