Nabatean Initiation Script

• Gain a Minor Virtue

  • You have the ability to find magical places nearby through the use of a crystal pendant and your own intuition
  • You concentrate on the thing to be found, and hold the pendant so it can swing freely.
  • The pendant moves towards the nearest example of what you are looking for
  • Based on Dowsing (p64), but:
    • Only works on magical places (auras, regiones, strong enough spells with a target of at least room size (depending on your roll))
    • Can be done using a map (though the Ease Factors will be much higher)
    • You can roll Perception + Virtue to gain magical information about the found place (for example: the strength of the aura, the level of the regio, whether there are other regio levels)

• Script

  • Target is 15
  • 6 (presence plus cult lore) + 3 + 3 + 1 + 2
  • Minor Ordeal (3)
    • You gain the minor flaw Oversensitive
    • The character becomes Oversensitive to something relating to their birth element (for example, a mage whose birth element is fire becomes unable to tolerate colder temperatures).
  • Travel to a special place at a special time (3)
    • Has to be done at the top of a regio series containing at least 5 levels (including zero) to whch you have travelled without using any magic
    • Can only be done when the Trine of your birth sign is dominant (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology_and_the_classical_elements)
  • Sacrifice (1)
    • You have to collect four gems; one must be your zodiacal birthstone. The other three must represent the other three elements; the candidate must choose appropriately to produce balance.
    • During the initiation, the other three gems are destroyed, that their influences bring the birthstone to harmony as a tool
  • Symbolically Appropriate (2)
