Sovereign @ Protocol
This cantrip allows nobles to conduct business and
Sovereign
In ancient times, the sidhe used Sovereign to regu-
larly enforce their noble dictates upon commoner
kith. A few highly conservative (and unpopular)
nobles still adhere to this custom. The Art of
Sovereign forces commoners and nobles of equal or
lesser rank to obey the caster’s dictates. Thus, a
knight could not use Sovereign on a baron.
This Art is the most widespread grievance that
commoner fae have against the sidhe nobility. As
such, wise nobles use this Art sparingly, test they risk
a revolt among their subjects. Traditionally, this Art
was jealously guarded by the nobility, but in recent
times this Art has surfaced in some commoners’ use.
Some members of the Beltaine Blade blame House
Fiona, but the more likely reason is the rise of the
non-sidhe nobility.
Any time this cantrip is used to affect a changeling
of equal rank (commoners are all considered to he of
equal rank), the target can make a resisted Willpower
roll (difficulty 6) to resist the effects of the cantrip.
Each success reduces the caster’s successes by one.
Any character can spend a Willpower point to be
allowed to make a similar roll, but at difficulty 7.
Attribute: Charisma
Leegerdeemaiin
Legerdemain is the Art of sleight-of-hand and illu-
sion. Originally based on illusions and “stage magic,”
Legerdemain transcends such parlor tricks, allowing a
changeling to affect physical reality. Changelings
who are the entertainers Kithain society (jesters,
clowns, pooka, etc.) generally specialize in this Art.
While this is also considered a commoner Art, a user
of Legerdemain is not as suspect as with Chicanery;
however, an Unseelie pooka armed with this Art
bears watching.
While many of the effects of Legerdemain dupli-
cate Chicanery, use of this Art differs in that it cre-
ates a substantial illusion that is visible to all
changelings and enchanted beings rather than altering
a single individual’s perception. There are those claim
that some uses of this Art actually create temporary
chimera.
Attribute: Dexterity
hold court functions without being perpetually
interrupted by noisy childlings or commoners.
Protocol ensures that everyone affected behaves as
noble etiquette requires, although a roll is required
to determine if the target(s) can fathom the dictates
of the proceedings. When this cantrip is cast, no one
may speak out of turn, and sudden combat and tom-
foolery are out of the question. Duels between per-
sons of equal rank to settle disputes are acceptable, if
the reigning noble permits it.
System: The Realms describe the targets affected.
Certain Realms, such as Prop, are useless with
Protocol.
The number of successes determines how difficult
the Protocol cantrip is to break by making a resisted
Willpower roll. A botch when resisting this cantrip
means the target abases herself by bowing and scrap-
ing to the reigning lord until the cantrip ends. This
cantrip remains in effect until dusk, dawn or when
the lord proclaims, “Court adjourned!” whichever
occurs first.
Multiple castings of this cantrip are not cumula-
tive. Two nobles who attempt to cast this cantrip at
the same time is a minor breech of etiquette to the
higher ranking noble (of course, the lower ranking
noble’s Protocol fails).
Type: Wyrd

Leegerdeemaiin @ Gimmiix
Gimmix permits you to maneuver objects teleki-
netically. You can move, twist, throw, lift and crush
things, but fine motor coordination, such as typing
or dialing a telephone is impossible. Gimmix can be
used in extremely small places, handling objects that
you couldn’t normally see or reach.
The Bunk for this cantrip must incorporate some
hand gesture that mimes the effect of the cantrip.
System: The Realm is determined by what the
changeling is trying to affect.
The number of successes indicates the force of
the telekinesis. For objects thrown, the damage is
determined by the strength of the cantrip (e.g.,
Strength 2 inflicts two Health Levels against a tar-
get). Multiple castings of this cantrip are separate
and cannot be accumulated for greater strength. Five
successes and the appropriate Realm are necessary to
directly affect a human's body with this cantrip.
The effects last one turn, so the cantrip must be
continually recast to maintain any telekinetically
lifted object. Alternatively, once a single object has
been affected, the character can spend a point of
Glamour for each additional turn he wishes to main-
tain the Gimmix.
1 success - Lift six oz. Strength 0
2 successes - Lift five lbs. Strength 1
3 successes - Lift 40 lbs. Strength 2
4 successes - Lift l00 lbs. Strength 3
5 successes - Lift 200 lbs. Strength 4
Type: Wyrd

Soothsay
Soothsay is the Art of divination, prediction and
interaction with Dan, the fae belief in fate.
Dan is like an immense, complex, shifting tapestry,
too complicated for most to fathom. All beings,
whether mortal, fae or Prodigal, have the threads of
their fates caught up within this tapestry. Wormlike
and blind, they burrow their way along their threads,
until they suddenly realize that they have unwittingly
caused the end they’ve achieved.
Occasionally, the forces of Dan make themselves
apparent to a person. The most dramatic of these
incarnations are the Norns, or Three Sisters, but the
visitation can be more subtle. A priest glances down
and sees a shiny gold coin. Instead of giving it to the
church, he pockets it for himself. Years later, he is
caught embezzling church funds.
This Art is for thinkers and contemplative Kithain.
As such, changelings who specialize in Soothsay can
often be found as seers and advisors to nobles. Most
Kithain have widely differing views of those fae
skilled in the Art of Soothsay. Nobles find them use-
ful for court intrigue, and commoners for their knowl-
edge. In general, they are accorded much respect.
Attribute: Intelligence
Soothsay @ Omeen
This cantrip offers a glimpse of the target’s place
within the great tapestry of Dan. Subtle clues of the
ultimate fate of a person, place or thing reveal them-
selves to the caster. While too weak to ascertain
more than a hint of the target’s future, Omen is nev-
ertheless a useful tool.
The information gleaned by Omen is prophetic.
It hints at the target’s future, but is usually vague
concerning the immediate present.
System: The Realm determines what the Omen is
about. In most cases this will be the Realm of Fae or
Actor, though it is possible to cast an Omen upon an
object and thus learn a little about its future.
The successes determine what information is avail-
able of the subject. None of the answers provided are
straightforward, Casting this cantrip reveals no direct
information, but rather gives symbolic clues.
1 success - One clue about an immediate plan of
the target,
2 successes - One clue about the Demeanor or
general disposition of the target,
3 successes - One clue about a long-term goal of
the target
4 successes - One clue about the inner nature of
the target.
5 successes-One clue about a closely guarded
secret of the target.
Multiple castings are not cumulative, and further
castings are at + 1 difficulty. The information
becomes more vague with each successive casting.
The Bunk used should involve some traditional
means of fortune-telling (Tarot, tea leaves, astrolo-
gy, entrail-reading, etc).

Naming
This is a rare Art guarded jealously among the court
seers and few commoner namers of the Crystal Circle.
Rumor has it that entrants into the Crystal Circle are
all taught the secrets of this Art upon their joining - a
rumor that august body has yet to deny or confirm.
True Names hold the essence of Glamour, as well as
the ability to control the soul of the being, if the
namer is powerful enough. A powermongering seer
could well control the flux of power within a court by
injudicious use of the Naming Art.
The Naming Art will not work against someone
who already knows your True Name. Your naming
magic is useless if someone knows your name and you
don’t know hers.
Beginning characters should not know the Naming
Art, as it is rarely known to any but members of the
Crystal Circle or high-ranking nobles.

Naming @ Seek ‘n’ Spell
Use of this cantrip allows you to see the meaning
behind any written text. You can read anything in
any language, even tracts written with magical wards
on them (the magic of the ward will oppose the
reader). A new cantrip must be cast for each new
tract read.
System: The Realm used determines what subject
matter may be deciphered. If you are unsure if you
have the appropriate Realm to use for this cantrip
make a Kenning + Perception roll (usually
Difficulty 7, with higher penalties for Wards, etc.)
to ken the general subject matter of the text.
The number of successes indicate how much
information is gained from reading the tract.
1 success- Vague understanding with few clear
details.
2 successes - Fairly clear understanding of the
tract with only a few details.
3 successes - Full understanding with all details
coherent.
4 successes- Complete understanding, as well as
divining the subtext or any hidden meanings
behind the text (any coded information is also
revealed).

Naming @@ Rune
Rune unleashes the abstract mystical power
behind the symbols known as runes. You inscribe a
symbol on the object yo wish to enchant, in addition
to the chosen Bunk. This cantrip is a enhancement
to other cantrips or actions, however, you must gain
at least one success in whatever is attempted before
these extra successes are added - this cantrip does not
provide an automatic success. The effect of the
cantrip lasts for one turn.
System: The Realm determines what is affected.
For example, a rune inscribed on an axe would aid a
character in hitting an opponent or a rune inscribed
on a wall could aid th character in casting a Wayfare
cantrip.
The successes are added onto any successes gained
from when taking another action. The effect lasts
one turn.

 Glamour Cost
All Wyrd cantrips cost 1 Glamour
Chimerical cantrips cast on enchanted
beings or inanimate objects cost no
Glamour, though additional Glamour
can be spent to lower the difficulty.
Any cantrip cast on a banal target costs
Glamour (This in not cumulative with a
Wyrd cantrip). Banal targets include
mortals, unenchanted supernatural beings
and anyone without a Glamour Trait rat-
ing (including changelings who have fall-
en to the Forgetting).
Casting a cantrip without a Bunk
requires an expenditure of one Glamour.
Up to five points of Glamour can be
spent to lower casting difficulty.
Using a modifier Realm costs an addi-
tional point of Glamour
The total Glamour cost for casting a
cantrip must be paid before the cantrip
comes into effect. If the character cannot
pay the total cost (either with his own
Glamour or dross), the cantrip fails,
though no Glamour points are lost.
Bunks
The nature of the Bunk must be chosen first. The
player decides exactly what bunk his character per-
forms, and the Storyteller decides whether or not it
is appropriate and what level it is. The Storyteller
assigns it a value from 1 to 5, based on the complex-
ity and appropriateness. The level of the Bunk gen-
erally indicates how long it takes to perform. A
Bunk can be anything from dancing a silly jig to
drawing an elaborate portrait of the cantrip’s target.
The Bunk performed should always be appropri-
ate to the nature of the cantrip cast. While dancing a
jig might be appropriate to a cantrip intended to
cause the changeling to fly high in the air, drawing a
portrait might be more appropriate if the changeling
attempts to use Soothsay to learn specific informa-
tion about a person.
Level-one Bunks can almost always be performed
in the same action as casting a cantrip. However,
when a changeling attempts to perform anything
more involved than a level-one Bunk, and seeks to
cast a cantrip in the same turn, the player must split
his dice pool. So, performing a level-two Bunk
while casting a cantrip causes the cantrip Dice Pool
to be divided by two.
To avoid a split dice pool, the character can take
the requisite number of turns to cast the Bunk.
Cantrips that have a starting difficulty of 10 or
less can be cast without performing a Bunk by
spending an additional point of Glamour, beyond
those points demanded by the cantrip itself. If the
cantrip’s starting difficulty is higher than 10, the
difficulty must be lowered to at least 10.
Treasure
Amulet of Absorption
@@
An chunk of highly polished amber
worked into an engraved amulet set-
ting hanging from a short golden
chain. The amulet possesses the abil-
ity to absorb and hold any cantrip
cast at the wearer and release the
magic again at the will of the posses-
sor.
Make Glamour roll to catch and
hold a cantrip aimed by directly at the
caster. The amulet may only possess
one cantrip at a time, the magic must
be released or lost before another
cantrip can be caught. The spell lasts
until used or 6 hours have passed.
The caught spell acts at the direction
of the sorcerer possessing the amulet,
though it possesses the effectiveness
of the one who cast the cantrip in the
first place. If the spell is not caught, it
affects the sorcerer normally.

Legerdemain @@ Ensnare Soothsay @@ Treasure

This cantrip has two major uses: you can cause a
large object to move about quickly, or you can
entangle an opponent with any scenery at hand.
If you are attempting to trip an individual, any vines,
rope or other small objects suddenly move to trip and
bind the intended target. If no such objects exist, the
target believes that there are, tripping over his own feet
and becoming bound by chimerical vines or rope.
The other use allows you to cause an object
weighing up to 300 lbs. to spin and whirl at high
rates of speed. Such objects can be targeted at anoth-
er person or object.
System: The object being affected determines the
nature of the Realm needed.
An object directed to smash into a person, inflicts
three Health Levels for every success in casting. To
hit the target with the object, make a Willpower
roll (diff. 7). The target is allowed a Dodge roll.
For Ensnaring, the number of successes deter-
mines how well the target is Ensnared.
1 success- Causes target to trip; target must roll
Dex. + Athletics (diff. 6) to avoid falling.
2 successes - Target is Ensnared; must succeed in a
Strength roll (diff. 6) to escape.
3 successes - Target is Ensnared and must exceed
the Ensnare’s successes by three or more in an
extended Strength test (diff. 6) in order to escape.
4 successes - As above, but the target must gain
five successes.
5 successes - As above, but 10 successes are
required.
Targets Ensnared remain trapped until they can
break free, Multiple castings of this cantrip are not
cumulative.

System: The Realm determines the target of the
cantrip, the elements affected and any other charac-
ters involved. Multiple castings are not cumulative;
they only cause multiple effects. Furthermore, all
successive castings upon a target are at + 1 difficulty,
and successive bad-effect castings on the same target
have a tendency to rebound on the caster.
The number of successes determines the amount
of good or ill fortune the target receives. For
“quick-and-dirty” fortune, the caster can either raise
or lower the difficulty of any one roll no higher
than 3 or lower than 5.
1 success - Find or lose a small thing.
2 successes - Find or lose a valued acquisition .
3 successes - Find or lose something treasured.
4 successes - Find or lose a major element.
5 successes - Find or lose something critical.
