Mark of Duality
Play the Mark of Duality to balance two oppositional elements.
Dual Elements: At character creation, choose two oppositional elements (e.g. fire and ice, light and shadow). You can channel those elements into subtle and harmless effects.
When you are successfully attacked and the value of the attack roll is odd, you can mark 2 Mana Stress to deal the attacker d6 mag damage using your spellcast trait.
If the attack roll is even instead, you can mark a Mana Stress to reduce the damage you take by 1d8.
Elemental Potential: When you Enhance your weapon, roll a die. Gain a bonus based on the die's result that lasts while the weapon is Enhanced:
Odd: +1 Evasion. When an attack roll against you fails, the attacker marks a Stress.
Even: Gain a bonus to the weapon's damage rolls equal to twice your marked Mana Stress.
Greater Protection: The damage reduction of your foundation feature increases to 1d12.
Masterful Balance: Everything you do is done in flawless balance with your elements.
You can mark a Mana Stress to change an action or reaction roll you are making to use your Spellcast trait instead.
Masterful Protection: The damage reduction of your foundation feature increases to 1d20.
