I am not limited by what I pick save for what would fall under those in opposition detailed by the focus.<br/><br/>An example being The Dragon and how Healing and Repair means Diabelle cannot use her magic for those purposes. But with Burning Passion, she could use both magic for the purposes of obvious fire magic and causing strong emotions. (Or arousal) and she'd be able to still use her magic to make water tentacles. Right?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yeah, so it basically is going like "this is the focus of your spells, they all tend to be like X" and it rewards you mechanically for staying on brand! We can also do some tinkering to make things fit and work! Basically it's like this, let's use The Storm as an example.<br/>*Aligned: You<strong>always</strong>roll with at least a +1 when you use fog or lightning, control wind and rain, and move like the wind. If it's doing ANY of those things, then you get the bonus! This *ALSO* is intentionally subjective! If you're watching two people argue and you want to drive their emotions in a direction, you could cast to<strong>control wind and rain</strong>and justify that it's within your Focus!<br/>*Opposed: You cannot use your magic to create stasis and calm or create something solid/permanent. So you couldn't, for example, build something with your magic, because your magic is associated with the Storm and is fleeting!<br/>*Neither Aligned Nor Opposed: You can still cast the spell if it isn't in either category, but you take a -1 while doing so. So if you want to throw a fireball as a Storm Mage, you can do that, but you'll roll with a your modifier minus 1!<br/><br/>Your concept was like water tentacles and electricity right? We could probably adjust The Storm a little to hit that, or could build some kind different setup. The Jelly Fish?
