Summon Entity
You can summon otherworldly Entities: Fate Spirits and other Entities from your subclass. Each Entity is associated with a summoning circle below. Mark a Stress to summon a number of your Entities equal to your tier, and add them to the appropriate circles. You can hold a total number of Entities equal to your level. Summoned Entities stay within Very Close range, can perform harmless tasks within that range, and cannot be targeted. If a task requires an action roll, make a Spellcast Roll to command the Entity.
First Circle — Fate Spirit. After an adversary within Very Close range makes a successful attack roll, you can command a Fate Spirit to force the adversary to reroll the attack. The spirit then disappears.
Class items
- A harmless spirit trapped inside a glass bottle
- A pair of mysterious coins
