Magery 0–5

Magery 0 [5]: the Sight, cantrips, and the QP buffer. Magery 1–4 [+10/level]: each level grants +1 Magic Die per round and +1 casting-level ceiling. Magery 5 [+10, +5-pt Unusual Background]: the archmage tier; the Background is access, not power. Magery 6 is not for sale.

Heroic Spellslinger [20 points]

Prerequisites: Magery 1+; at least one Missile spell (a learned bolt).

• Cast and blast: one Concentrate maneuver casts and throws a Missile spell. If the casting succeeds, invest energy up to the single-turn limit (never a charged bolt) and immediately roll to hit instead of holding. Doing so puts both the casting roll and the attack roll at −3.
• Add your Magery level to your missile spell's attack skill.
• Throwing a held missile with an Attack or All-Out Attack adds its Acc without aiming; Move and Attack ignores its normal penalties.
• No penalty to hit in close combat; halve pop-up and opportunity-fire penalties.

Weapon Master (Missile Spells) [25 points]

Prerequisites: Magery 1+; at least one Missile spell.

• If your missile's attack skill is at Ranged Base +1: +1 per die to Missile-spell damage (including explosive missiles). At Ranged Base +2 or higher: +2 per die.
• With Heroic Spellslinger: the cast-and-blast penalty on both rolls drops to −1.
• Holding a missile spell, you may still cast other spells at −3 (as if concentrating on another spell); you may cast and hold a second missile, occupying both hands.

Block Mastery [10 points]

Your extra Power Blocks in a round are at −2 each instead of −4. Open to any mage with a teacher. (Beta price — playtest will tune it.)
