Talents

Eyes of the Fae

(Fae T1)
EM: 150
Effects: The adept may perceive Illusions and Glamours. By taking a pass action the adept has a PC (+ 3/rank) chance of noticing any illusion or glamour in an area.

The Adept will also be able to see Fae Circles.

Sense Mana

(Fae T2)
Base Chance: PC+3/rank
EM:: 50
Adepts of this College are highly sensitive to the presence of mana and can automatically discern the mana concentration (rich, normal or poor) in their immediate vicinity. In cases where the background mana concentration is attributable to a particular source (such as a sacrificial altar or a dimensional gate), the adept has a Chance of determining its approximate direction and distance.

Wings of Air

(Air T5)
Aurora has been given the Talent 'Wings of Air', by Storm, an elemental force on the Plane of Air. She is able to create Wings out of air which are effectively invisible to normal people.

She can move at TMR 5+rank on these wings or fly at 30+rank mph. At Rank 6 she is able to hover and perform complex actions like casting.

BC: 50% + 5/rank
EM: 150

Acceptance of Lust

(T-0)
This Talent enables Aurora to accept her sexual lusts and those of others towards her, as natural and fulfilling. Should she take the initiative to meet these desires with a bedfellow then she acts as if she is a Courtier skilled in Seduction - her Rank in Courtier is two higher than it is (minimum rank 6) for the purposes of seduction.

Pixie Prank Talent

(Fae T-5)

'Duration: Special (5 + 5/rank minutes max unless otherwise stated)
Experience Multiplier: 200
Base Chance: 50%
Resistance: Active, Passive

Target: Entity

Effects: The Adept pranks any one target within range with a particular unpleasantness as listed below. The prank lasts until a General Knowledge Counterspell from any of the Thaumaturgy Colleges is cast over the afflicted entity, a Ritual of Remove Curse is employed, the duration expires, or, if applicable, the effect is cured by a healer of the appropriate Rank. If a Ritual of Remove Curse is employed, the Pixie Prank is considered a Minor Curse. A separate Counterspell or Ritual of Remove Curse must be used on each separate prank. Similar (or identical) Pixie Prank effects do not stack or queue.

The activation of this Talent requires eye contact and suitable words, and cannot be concealed although the Adept can hide or whisper. Some percularity of Fae Magic means that the words and gesticulations are normally audible or visible, at least in hindsight. ("Oh I heard someone whispering nasty things - I just assumed it was my imagination")

These pranks, may (GM's discretion) cause a mage to lose concentration (as per Concentration p22).
