God Amidst the Wastes
Dedicate yourself to a deity (name a new one or choose one that’s already been established). You gain the commune and cast a spell cleric moves.

When you spend uninterrupted time (an hour or so) in quiet communion with your deity, you:
Lose any spells already granted to you.
Are granted new spells of your choice whose total levels don’t exceed your own level+1, and none of which is a higher level than your own level.
Prepare all of your rotes, which never count against your limit.
Cast a Spell
When you unleash a spell granted to you by your deity, roll+Wis.
✴ On a 10+, the spell is successfully cast and your deity does not revoke the spell, so you may cast it again.
✴ On a 7–9, the spell is cast, but choose one:
You draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot. The GM will tell you how.
Your casting distances you from your deity—take -1 ongoing to cast a spell until the next time you commune.
After you cast it, the spell is revoked by your deity. You cannot cast the spell again until you commune and have it granted to you.
Note that maintaining spells with ongoing effects will sometimes cause a penalty to your roll to cast a spell.

Bonds
Hjalmar's weapon lacks finesse, though its killing power is undeniable. Time will tell who is the better marksman
Bathilda: she is a frightened little girl at the deepest self, but that is a secret for me to keep, not share. I will help her become who she pretends to be.
Emma: Exactly what brand of crazy did we just pick up?
Grigor: Nails look to Grigor for toughness lessons.
Dhice: that boy wields great power, but it isn't as predictable as I'd like.
Lyntel: She is a precious reminder of my people. I will protect her until she proves conclusively that she can protect herself.
I have guided _____ before and they owe me for it.
_______________ is a friend of nature, so I will be their friend as well.
_______________ has no respect for nature, so I have no respect for them.
_______________ does not understand life in the wild, so I will teach them.
Magic:
Monocle of Infrared Sight - Peering through it casts everything you see with that eye in an infrared glow, highlighting the greatest heat sources
Weird Chalk - Chalk that makes writing significantly more solid.
Mask of Slow Invisibility - Stationary or slowly moving bits of me are invisible.
Scarlet Bowstring of Weightlessness - It looks like a normal reddish bowstring, but with this string strung on your bow, it weighs 0
Talisman of Other Sight - wearing the talisman and clutching it in your hand, you can see through the eyes of any other living thing within eyesight range. Just focus on them and the next time you blink, you're looking from an entirely new perspective. Let go of the talisman to return to your own sight. Just be warned - more powerful and/or alert beings might sense the scrying magic...
