DefenseWill

With a cruel laugh and a flash of your canines, you make a target understand that death is coming to claim it and that its demise will serve to strengthen another. The target becomes Frightened 1 if it fails a Will save (or Frightened 2 on a critical failure). This condition can't be reduced below 1 while the spell is active and the target can hear you. You can Dismiss the spell as a reaction when an ally critically succeeds at a Strike against the target, restoring scaling d4 healing Hit Points to that ally.


Heightened (+2) The number of Hit Points restored when you Dismiss the spell increases by 1d4.

Traits

Auditory

Auditory actions and effects rely on sound. An action with the auditory trait can be successfully performed only if the creature using the action can speak or otherwise produce the required sounds. A spell or effect with the auditory trait has its effect only if the target can hear it. This applies only to sound-based parts of the effect, as determined by the GM. This is different from a sonic effect, which still affects targets who can't hear it (such as deaf targets) as long as the effect itself makes sound.

Cantrip

A spell you can cast at will that is automatically heightened to half your level rounded up.

Concentrate

An action with this trait requires a degree of mental concentration and discipline.

Fear

Fear effects evoke the emotion of fear. Effects with this trait always have the mental and emotion traits as well.

Hex

A hex is a spell caused by your patron's direct attention and intervention. Your patron does not take well to being disturbed repeatedly, so you can cast only one spell that has the hex trait each turn; attempts to use a second automatically fail and usually cause your familiar to hiss in displeasure as your patron rejects your call.

Mental

A mental effect can alter the target's mind. It has no effect on an object or a mindless creature.

Witch

This indicates abilities from the witch class.
