Nature Magic

Limiting Skill: Naturalist (p. B211)

Nature magic relies on guiding the power of the natural world. Practitioners believe that magical power lies in all living things and that all of existence is subject to its power, whether a god, a man, a rock or even the tiniest of mites. Some practitioners of this Emanation refer to it as the concept of Chaos, referencing a mystical force that existed even before Creation and from which the cosmos was created.

Natural places of power take the form of Ley Lines, which are viewed as rivers, roads or ridges of Natural power through which a Natural practitioner can more easily encourage Nature to move to his desires. Places where Ley Lines actually cross are called Convergences. Practitioners of Natural magic believe that life and, thus, existence itself is stronger at these Convergences and that even unattuned beings can unconsciously ‘sense’ the power in these places, or else the power in these places leads unattuned beings to be greater. Druids will sometimes construct great moments of stone, called Henges, at these Convergences to mark and guard them.

Those particularly attuned to Nature magic are generally known as Druids and, in some primitive societies, they might be misidentified as particularly powerful Shamans.

Advantages

Nature Potential

Original article: Nature Potential Advantage

14 points

Nature Potential is the ability to access the Emanation of Nature Magic, utilizing knowledge of the natural magical power inherent in all things to affect reality. With Nature Potential, you may make a Sense roll (p. B358) when you first see a magic item and again when you first touch it. On a success, you intuitively know if the magic item is imbued with Nature, Mystic, or Herbalistic Magic. A Critical Success also tells you whether the magic is helpful or dangerous and about how strong it is.

Nature Potential also allows for a reflexive Sense roll when you first enter a Ley Line. On a success, you intuitively know that you have entered a Ley Line and on a Critical Success, you know which direction the Ley Line flows to and from. If you are on a Convergence, you get a +1 to this Sense roll for each Ley Line crossing the Convergence.

The Nature Potential Advantage includes the Herbalistic Potential and Mystic Potential Advantages.

The Nature Potential Advantage is required to be able to cast Nature Spells.
