Perversity - Perversity is a magical term. A state of perversity means that the balance of magick in an area is severely disrupted. One cannot perform magick or perform magick properly in an area of perversity. There are two forms of magical Perversity. They are Personal Perversity and Area Perversity. Personal Perversity only affects a specific user of magick, usually after wielding a great deal of magick in a short period of time. This occurs by not allowing the mage to balance mystical and normal actions. This point is left up to the Game Master. Area Perversity affects anyone in a designated area; they will be unable to cast magick, or cast it properly. These areas are created by a great deal of magical energy erupting, exploding, or being used. Again, the amount and size of the area is up to the Game Master. Return to Top

The Pyre Rose - The Pyre Rose (magical materials Fire MR 3) has the color of fire. The petals, which are cool to the touch, look like a raging fire with its reds, oranges, and yellows. The colors shift in the petals, giving the illusion that they are made of fire. The Pyre Rose is a common plant in the wasteland. Unlike its sister, the Forlorn Rose, the Pyre Rose blooms throughout the entire year. An infant (0-2 years) Pyre Rose plant will have 1 D10 2 blossoms on it, and will be 6 inches to 10 feet in length. An adult Pyre Rose plant (3-15 years) will have 2 D10*2 blossoms on it, and will be 11 feet to 200 feet. An ancient Pyre Rose plant (16 years and above) will have 6 D10*2 blossoms on it and will be more than 200 feet. Again, not like its sister the Pyre rose is a climber. The Pyre rose will climb any vertical or horizontal surface. The longest Pyre rose discovered was over just over 1000 feet. The Pyre rose has many uses. Among the more interesting is a glass sphere (must be glass sphere) filled with petals from a Pyre Rose and sprinkled with one quantity of oil (olive works the best) will illuminate and cast light (torchlight) for 2 D10 days. After the petals go dim, they can be pressed into rose oil worth 190 p per pint. If the petals are still illuminating and are pressed into rose oil, the rose oil is worth 4 Cr. per pint. The rose oil from illuminating petals helps to heal scars and lacerations. The oil takes 12 hours to work. The oil will heal 2 D10 points of damage for lacerations. Return to Top
