Schools are subdivisions of the influence of a same

be quite different even if starting with the same
School.
If taken with Arcane Specialty or Signature Power,

each School either has an Arcane Specialty or a
Signature Power. For example, the Elementalist
Arcane Background presents four Schools: Air,
Earth, Fire, Water. Air has fly as Arcane Specialty,

grants light, and Water grants environmental
protection (underwater only).

powers from Schools he has Specialized in.
A mage can Specialize in a new School during an

Advance (instead of rising one skill below its linked
a�ribute). Alternatively, when taking the New
Powers Edge, he can forego learning one of the New
Powers to instead Specialize in a new School.
When a mage Specializes in a new School, he

automatically gains its Signature Power (if any).
If multiple Arcane Backgrounds share the same

arcane skill and at least one of them uses Schools,
they can’t Specialize in Schools from other Arcane
Backgrounds and everything about the other

When activating a rune (by speaking it’s words of

powers and making the activation roll), the runemage
can declare a delay (seconds, hours, at sunset) and
how to pick a target (myself, the closest person). Once
the delay passed, the rune releases the power’s effects
on the first valid target (or fizzles if no target found).
Alternatively, instead of a delay, he can set a

condition (something he could check by himself,
like “when an elf enters the room” or “when the
sound of footsteps are heard”). The rune releases the
power’s effects the first time the condition is met.

ENROLLING SPIRITS
The shaman has an affinity with spirits, either her

For each power she gains, she recruits one spirit
