Charge Spells

You control electrical charges and currents.

Measurement is a little tricky. We use a rough equivalency to “voltage” even though that is technically incorrect, because it is more commonly understood as a general amount of electricity. MP costs are roughly 1 MP per 10 volts. All amounts are at the GM's discretion.


Detect Charge

You can sense electrical fields, currents, and charged objects. You can tell if it is a weak or powerful charge (IE. is it dangerous to touch?).

Alter Charge

You can change the amount of charge on an already charged object. You can add charge, by expending MP. Draining a charge actually converts the charge into MP which can replenish your daily MP expenditure.

Create Spark
