Boons

ENTHRALLING PERFORMANCE

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend

Duration: Indefinite

Subject: All characters

Clash: Presence + Legend vs. Composure + Legend

Range: Medium

Action: Complex
No one can look away from your art. When you put on a performance, all affected targets in range that witnesses your performance cannot stop paying attention to you. If they wish to take another action, they must do it as a mixed action combined with an Integrity + Resolve roll at Difficulty 2. Putting on a performance with this Boon is a complex action that can last multiple rounds, but doesn’t require a roll.

HEARTFELT EXPRESSION

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend

Duration: Indefinite

Subject: All characters

Clash: Presence + Legend vs. Composure + Legend

Range: Short

Action: Reflexive
Your emotions overflow into the souls of your audience. When you perform or create a work of art, you can instill it with your current emotional state or the personal feelings that inspired it. Any affected character that witnesses the performance or artwork is deeply affected, raising their Attitude by one point. This does not stack with other magical Attitude bonuses. This Attitude shift lasts even after you reclaim the Legend from this Boon. However, once you do so, your painting, music, or other artwork won’t inspire any more characters with emotion. Seeing multiple pieces of art made with this Boon doesn’t stack their Attitude boosts.

MUSE’S KISS

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend

Duration: Indefinite

Subject: One character

Range: Short

Action: Simple
You breathe inspiration into a character’s heart, granting them Enhancement 3 when they roll to create art, put on a performance, or some other creative and expressive activity. You can set a single requirement the character must meet to maintain your blessing, like “tithe a tenth of your earnings to my cult” or “spend eight hours a day writing,” which ends this Boon immediately if it is not met. This Boon is free to use on trivial targets.

Innate Power: You can express yourself through an artistic performance to communicate with those who experience it as though you were speaking to them, even if they don’t share a language. This can also bypass Complications that would apply to rolls made through ordinary conversation, like trying to avoid being overheard, but not to the specific art form you use. Only the intended recipient of the message (which can be “everyone”) can perceive it.
