Ether Magic / Magicae Machinarum

Ether Magic and the "magic of the machine" are extremely similar posits that merge together into one set of "magic" skills.

Controlled by highly-talented mergers of the arcane and modern technology, Ether magic is mental or artificial control over swarms of countless nanomachines that function in mystical and amazing ways, conducting electricity or washing rejuvenating mist around a target to simulate the magic spells that have awed scientists for millenia.

Technomancy, as it's nicknamed amongst users, is the mental or arcane control of larger machines or modern technology. This talent manifests in "urban druids," those who can use the wonders of the modern and futuristic world against its inhabitants, whether it's electrical grids, computers, or even devastating weapons of mass destruction.

These two types of "modern magic" are merged together and are able to be cast by the Ether/Technomancy Magic School. They are extremely diverse and utilitarian, and mirror and mimic classical forms of magic in imaginative and stunning ways.

Cantrips 5 MP to cast, 5 Spell Points
  • Paint Job - Paint job produces an illusory coat of paint on a large object, complete with details. The illusory coat of paint is permanent. No paint job is too complex, however the spell can not be used in sufficient resolution to be camouflage. This spell will not target any life form, only inanimate objects.
  • Welding Touch - Welding touch turns the subjects finger into an arc welder for a single round. This can be used to provide a +2 to repair checks, or to repair a mechanical character for 10% of max HP.
  • OTA Update - Allows a user to create a mental connection to a wireless network within visual range. If that network is encrypted or protected in some way, this may require a check against the network's defenses to succeed. Once successful, this spell allows the user to upload or download one unit of data, whether that's activating a Technomancy spell through it, planting or removing data, or similar action. The connection is then severed immediately.
  • Zen Focus - By entering a meditative state, this character clears their mind before attempting a project. The meditation becomes a source of inspiration, providing a bonus of up to +10 towards the first craft or artisan check on a project. The project must have a cumulative DC higher than you could reach in a single roll, and Zen Focus only applies once per project, at the start.
  • Metal Detector - A characters hand becomes like a metal detector. Should their hand pass over a metal object, they will feel a vibration in their bone not unlike a cell phone. The range and sensitivity may be freely adjusted by the user, but can never extend more than 5 feet in the direction the palm is pointing.
  • Banana Peel - Summons ether nanites to construct an organic fruit compound that will impede motion. Opponents suffer a -10 to a single movement check. An interesting side note, this spell may be cast as a free action while being chased, as the spells program is sufficiently simple to memorize.
  • Detect Poison - The user is able to use ethereal senses to find and pinpoint sources of airborne, food-borne, venom-type, or various other toxins within (Mage Level) Areas. Each cast lasts for 1 round/action.
  • Flare - Create a bright flash of light that disorients some targets. Inflicts -2 on target's rolls if successful. [Willpower Only]
  • Purify Food and Drink - By running nano-machines through food or drink, the character is able to remove toxins, dangerous magics, or other unnatural effects from enough food for (Mage Level) characters with each cast.
  • Spark - Ignites flammable objects. This can only be used on simple "fuels," such as gasoline, oil, and other readily ignitable materials.
  • Mending - Repair superficial damage to an object. Won't fix lingering effects due to damage (i.e. spilling water on a cable and using Mending won't stop the circuit from shorting, just clean up the mess).

1st-level Technomancy 10 MP to cast, 10 Spell Points
  • Smog - A poisonous smog fills the area, obscuring the view of all and dealing 100 hp unsoakable poison damage for 1d5 rounds, as well as granting a +2 to dodge. The damage only applies to someone who would otherwise breathe.
  • NVG - Adjusts the vision of the target to see in the an illuminated black and green spectrum by magnifying light visible by 1000. This removes penalties to low light spotting as well as hide bonuses due to shadow. The caveat of this spell is that should a light become sufficiently bright (something as simple as a fluorescent bulb), Blind [mild] is inflicted upon the target as well.
  • Pedal to the Metal - Pedal to the metal enchants a small vehicle to improve it's handling capabilities. It's brakes and maneuvering mechanism are reinforced to remove penalties caused by higher speeds. It also offers a +6 to operation checks (non combat).
  • Jargon - Jargon is a special language translation which enables the user to understand technical languages sufficiently. When someone speaks in industry specific terms, the user will instead hear an equivalent, loss-less translation.
  • Vermin - Summons an army of rodents to your aid. The army of rodents grows larger with each caster level, gaining +10 for every level , as well as a 5% chance of poison per level.
  • Universal Remote - Universal remote enables a caster to interact with simple remote operable devices from a distance. Examples of this are TV's, some camera's, some cars, and general unencrypted signals. Devices such as computers, or anything which would require a software driver are out of the domain of this spell.
  • Fistful of Steel - Summons a pair of nanoformed metal pistols capable of dealing the user's +200 magic damage. The pistols last for one fight, and does one shot per pistol. At levels 3, 6, and 9, the guns gain an additional controlled shot. The weapons must be fired using a pistol skill, not the casters magic.
  • Protective Armor - Creates a form of magic kevlar around the target for 1d5 rounds. Spirit based damage is reduced by 1/4th by energy absorbing nanites.
  • Healing Rain - A simple spell which creates localized precipitation (rain or snow depending on temperature) that heals a random person every round for 1d3 rounds. The chosen person, friend or foe, is healed for +200 HP.
  • Ether Burst - A powerful surge of mana causes the next spell cast is cast at double effect. Buffs and status effects are rendered for twice as long (but do not have more of an effect), and spells which damage or heal do so doubly. The caster is then put under a silence effect that must last at least 3 rounds before being cured.
  • Analyze - Analyses a target to identify its information. Whereas a magical scan reveals an additional information about a target, Analyze identifies scientific information such as race, threat level, as well as the typical parameters of health and spiritual energy.
  • Glitch - Glitch uses nanite corruption of physical circuitry in machines to produce unwanted behavior. Although the most common side effect is the inability to distinguish between friend or foe, there are other possible outcomes depending on the machine. Some machines (specifically those with many redundant systems) may be immune or resistant to the nanites, as are machines which do not have pores or joints for the nanites to enter.
  • Air Bubble - The character is able to create a pocket of clean, safe air around his/her head and those of (Mage Level * 2) allies to allow them to breathe safely in clouds of airborne poisons or underwater for (Mage Level) rounds.
  • Ant Haul - The character is able to imbue a target with spiritual strength. For 5 rounds, the target is able to carry 12-Slot Weapons and triples the target's normal carrying weight for other purposes.
  • Damp Powder - This spell ruins the firing powder inside of a single target firearm's entire magazine, forcing it to be reloaded manually before the weapon can be fired again. This spell affects weapons of increasing size, at a rate of +2 Inventory Slots / Mage Level (20 Slots at Level 10)
  • Call Phone - This spell allows a caster to dial a phone and speak as though speaking into a phone mentally. The caster must either have line of sight with the phone or know it's phone number.
  • Liberating Command - This spell compels a non-sentient, semi-sentient, or low-willpower creature/enemy/target to flee from the caster. Roll directly against creature's willpower and magic resistance; if successful, the target is compelled to flee from the caster upon the first available opportunity.
  • Matrix - This spell allows a subject to add 1/2 his/her magic school bonus to his/her reaction skill. Each use of this bonus spends requisite MP.
  • Hydraulic Push - This spell creates a gout of water that strikes a single target as if loosed from a fire hydrant, dealing +500 magic damage and incurring "Knockback / Wall Rush" status at +1 Severity/2 Mage Levels (Terminal at Level 10).
  • Charge Powder - This spell strengthens the firing powder inside of a single target firearm's entire magazine, increasing its effectiveness to 50% for 5 rounds. This spell affects weapons of increasing size, at a rate of +2 Inventory Slots / Mage Level (20 Slots at Level 10)

2nd-Level Technomancy 40 MP, 15 Spell Points
  • Kodak Moment - Creates an etheral digital camera that lasts for 8 hours. Pictures taken during this time may be deposited on any digital device within line of sight. Many casters prefer to use their U.m.N. pads, however any machine to which the user has access rights is a valid deposit.
  • Cellular Blitz - A distraction spell created as a means of escape in a crowd. Cellular blitz causes all phones in an area to ring repeatedly in a deafening display of ring tones. The spell lasts for 1d5 rounds, during which all targets without ear protection have the silence effect, provided there are sufficient devices (crowds, stores, etc are all possible). As a side effect, this may provide a surprise attack should an enemy possess a phone themselves, and sufficiently large crowds can actually cause the local network to buckle for several hours under the pressure.
  • Dead Zone - Creates a magical faraday cage from which no conventional signal can exit. This actually extends to the Unus Mundus Network as well, making it one of the only readily available ways to block communication via the EPR Paradox.
  • Auto-Pilot - Target vehicle gains sentience for 3 hours, and will operate with a proficiency equal to half the casters roll bonus. Combat vehicles are capable of performing their combat duties as though they had a pilot.
  • Internet Celebrity - A spell created by a dark sorcerer known as Malachite assigned to the viral marketing of a coffee shop in Wisconsin. When cast, the spell generates content across any network of choice to which information may be freely published, giving the impression of notoriety to a given subject, person or detail. These pages disappear after 1d8 hours. The pages may contain any detail the caster wishes, however those fluent with the subject can roll versus the casters roll to detect the forgery.
  • Meme - Created by the same sorcerer who created Internet Celebrity, Meme serves a similar purpose, but instead establishes a wide, inexplicable fanbase to a simple concept or topic on the internet. The results of this spell are wildly unpredictable, sometimes bringing fame or infamy to the topic. Once cast, this spell is permenant, as are any effects of it's casting.
  • Defuse Lesser Explosive - Simple IED's or bombs are defused safely with the casting of this spell. The detonation mechanism is removed, rendering the spell unable to be discharged by any means. Valid targets are TNT, grenades, IED's, mines, devices without complex activation protection or the capability of widespread destruction.
  • Radiation Surge - Radiation surge creates a powerful blast of radical particles which affects all enemies in the immediate area. This attack automatically targets enemies not behind full cover or protected by an energy field of some form (any form of magical barrier is also sufficient), who must make a health check of 1/4th the casters roll (rounded down, 100 becomes 25) or suffer magic damage +400 and Alpha Radiation Poisoning.
  • Oil Slick - Oil slick produces a layer of black crude oil on any surface, sufficiently slippery to produce a -8 to movement checks on the surface. Although this spell does no direct damage, the layer is flammable; setting the oil on fire when an enemy is passing through it will set them on fire, and produces a smoke haze in the area identical to the Smog spell.
  • Misty - Misty produces moisturized air that is akin to a silence spell, preventing sound from travelling enough for spells to form. This spell also blocks the use of technology based magic such as Ether by short circuiting.
  • Goodbye - Goodbye produces an adrenaline surge in the body primarily associated with fight or flight response. The caster is imbued with powerful instinct while fleeing, adding a +20 to dodge ONLY when fleeing. Any other action taken or stopping will dismiss the effect.
  • Charge X - Charge X specifically targets the regenerative properties of the target in that it doubles their present rate of regeneration. While cast, the regen rate (either natural or status effect) is doubled for 1d5 rounds. This can be cast a maximum of once per character per fight.
  • Ant Haul, Communal - The character is able to imbue (Mage Level) targets with spiritual strength. For 5 rounds, the targets are able to carry 12-Slot Weapons and triples the targets' normal carrying weight for other purposes.
  • Bear's Endurance - The character grants a bonus of +20 Physical Soak/Mage Level (+200 at Level 10) to a single target for 5 rounds.
  • Bull's Strength - The character grants a bonus of +20 Strength/Mage Level to a character for lifting and damage purposes (+200 at Level 10).

  • Cat's Grace - The character grants a bonus of +20 Dexterity/Mage Level to a character for movement and dodging purposes (+200 at Level 10).
  • Eagle Eye - The character is able to create a powerful magic "sensor" up to (Mage Level / 2) Areas into the air, which has the caster's magic roll for perception checks (such as spot or search). This lasts for (Mage Level) rounds/actions.
  • Machine Speech - This character is able to briefly communicate with Machine-type creatures, robots, or electronic devices. This does not automatically sway or control them. Each casts lasts for (Mage Level) exchanges.
  • Machine Friend - This spell allows a character to "persuade" machines or electronic devices to assist rather than hinder the caster and his/her allies. This helpful effect lasts (Mage Level) rounds/actions per cast.
  • Lock-Up Machine - This spell prevents a machine from moving from its place for a short time. Inflicts Chronic "Stop" status on a single target for (Mage Level) rounds.
  • Natural Rhythm - This character is able to invest additional energy into a single target's attacks for a short time. Inflicts Chronic "Offense" status on a single target for 5 rounds.
  • Owl's Wisdom - The caster grants a bonus of +20 Willpower/Mage Level (+200 at Level 10) to a single character for 5 rounds.

3rd-Level Technomancy 90 MP, 20 Spell Points
  • Sonic Shot - A weapons enchantment which modifies the barrel of a firearm. Converts a projectile fired to an equal sonic pulse that ignores armor soak for one fight.

  • Thunder Shot - A weapons enchantment which modifies the barrel of a firearm. Converts a projectile fired to an equal electric discharge that deals double damage to machines and carries a 10% chance of causing the Magnetize status effect on armor.

  • Blowout - Blowout is a spell developed by police forces seeking a less drastic alternative to spike strips. Nanites create a pressure pocket around the critical movement component of a passenger vehicle and disable it. The effect reduces the speed and control of the vehicle by selectively disabling it's propulsion. If there are any obstacles present, the driver/pilot must make a check at -30 to avoid crashing (DC is determined by the environment).
  • Tear Gas - Creates a white smoke that irritates the eyes causing immediate discomfort and tears. Requires a Health check of 1/4th the casters roll roudned down to avoid being subject to the 'Hazy' status effect.
  • Flash Bang - Creates a flash of radiant light coupled with a high intensity noise designed to disorient attackers. Inflicts Acute Off-Guard effect on biological targets and mechanical targets are unaffected. Requires a Health roll of 1/4th the casters roll to avoid being affected, as there is no 'grenade' to react to.
  • Jamming - Produces a confusing field of metal chaff that disorients electronic targetting systems and disrupts remote communications. Inflicts stun on any mechanical target unless they pass a Health roll of half the casters roll to overcome the disruption.
  • Phantom Sniper - Conjures an illusory red dot that tracks a target of the casters choosing. The phantom sniper is intelligent, even though it is unable to fire. It will track the target without requiring intervention from the caster, moving from spot to spot as a real sniper would to keep the target in it's sights. The caster may also assign a position for the dot to originate from.
  • Protection from Radiation, Lesser - Produces an energy field that protects against low levels of radiation, specifically in the Alpha and Beta spectrum. This energy field surrounds one person.
  • Light and Wing - Produces a powerful holy surge that strikes an opponent for +1500 holy damage, as well as nullifying any status effects upon them (both positive and negative). The effect of this program may be continued by holding the users next turn, costing no additional mp but reducing the roll by -10.
  • Ether Flare - Ether flare creates an energy surge within a target, boosting their spirit damage by +600 for their next attack. The spell in question need not be of the ether system. This +600 boost does not stack with critical hits - the status is delayed until the next round.
  • Psycho Pocket - Uses ether nanites to deal +1000 physical damage to an opponent by creating a solid metal mass that strikes the opponent. If successfully hit, the metal mass attempts to remove a possession of the enemies during the confusion.
  • Grease - Provides a +6 roll bonus boost to machines by lubricating their mechanical parts. Only applies to machines which could realistically be improved in this way (ones with mechanical joints).
  • Coin Lock - Creates a quickly rotating half energy barrier around the target that attempts to intercept status effect magic as it is cast. On a threatening status effect, roll 1d2. On a 2, the status effect is nullified by the field. Lasts for 1d5 rounds.
  • Life Shoot - A 'spirit stat' ranged medical beam that can be continued over several rounds at no added mp cost. Requires a Will check of at least 25 to maintain concentration sufficiently to maintain the beam. Each added round boosts this DC by 25.

4th-Level Technomancy 160 MP, 30 Spell Points
  • Neural Uplink - Forms a direct data uplink between a brain and target device.

  • Boost - When cast, a target which has not taken its turn yet this round may act as though they have a held action at any point during the round. Doing this uses their turn. As with all held actions, Boosted actions expire at the end of the round.

  • Flash Mob - 1d5000 ethereal people are summoned with a common goal. Although the caster may assign a general instruction, they are unable to specify specific details.

  • Temporal Mirror - Target mirror shows the last 15 minutes of images as seen from the perspective of the mirror.
  • Rerun - If targeted at a monitor or display, forces the monitor to re-display the last 5 minutes of footage for 15 minutes (3 repetitions). If cast directly on a surveillance system, the system monitoring that camera monitors it instead.

5th-level Technomancy 250 MP, 40 Spell Points
  • Divine Co-Pilot - This spell allows the target to reroll one piloting check, regardless of how low the roll was. This may only be cast once per 'vehicle section' or day.
  • Quick Cash - Generates an amount of illusory currency for use of the caster. The DC to detect the counterfeit begins at the casters roll, and loses 1 for every 100 forged gil past the first. For example, if a 200 is rolled and 500 gil (or equivalent) are forged, the poor sap must beat a 195 to know the currency is faked.
  • Williams Hypnotic Screensaver - Williams, a programmer at Microsoft and dabbler in the arcane, created a prank screensaver which compels the user to stare at it until the screensaver is deactivated or the stare is broken. Unbeknownst to him, after his departure from Microsoft, the screensaver was stripped of it's magic and included with Windows as the star field screensaver.

Any user caught staring at the screen when it comes active must make a will resist vs the casters roll to avoid being rendered unable to break their gaze.
  • Ghost Rider - Creates a phantom car with sentience that will drive and follow instructions from the caster. The car is unable to cause damage and will phase through solid objects if it is unable to avoid them. The caster may choose whether or not to create a driver, but not passengers.

  • No Acceptable Losses - Enchants a weapon such that it gains a special provision -- It will not hit any living other than it's intended destination. Bullets, arrows fired from such a weapon, or simple sword slashes will pass through any organic matter not it's intended target. A botch however, will still affect any target (perhaps the wrong person was targetted), and damage by collateral damage is still possible. The intended target must be an enemy.
  • Zonk - Inflicts the Sleep status effect (will to defend against). This spell is interesting however in that the character is not recognizably asleep. They will offer no visible signs of sleeping, however will not respond when prompted. The character will literally fall asleep mid stride.

6th-level Technomancy 360 MP to cast, 60 Spell Points
  • Auto-Pilot, Greater - An advanced variant of the autopilot spell which permits 75% of the casters roll to be used as a bonus. In addition, this vehicle becomes capable of sentience ala Kitt from Knight Rider. While not permanent by default, this may be used as a 'Spell-like' effect in an enchantment to permanently imbue the vehicle with intelligence. The vehicles intelligence is persistent (IE, The car will not be Eddie Murphy on one cast and Alex Trabeck the next).
  • Dead-Zone, Greater - Creates a magical faraday cage capable of blocking conventional communications around an entire region and U.m.N. transmissions around a city block.
  • Tear Gas, Greater - Creates the effect of an entire barrage of tear gas canisters being unloaded upon a mob. Requires a health check of half the casters casting roll to avoid the 'Hazy' status effect. This effect will target any number of enemies up to 15.

  • Save to Disc - The user is capable of transferring simple objects to external storage media such as CD's, DVD's, which are then extracted when the device is read (similar to an auto-run). The more complex or valuable the item, the more storage it requires.
  • Defuse Greater Explosive - A successful casting of this spell defuses a bomb of potentially catastrophic nature, including many complex devices or tamper proof devices. The caster must beat the DC that would otherwise be used for disarm checks. Failure of the spell does not trigger the explosive unless a botch occurs.

7th-level Technomancy 490 MP to cast, 75 Spell Points
  • Flash Mob, Greater - Creates the kind of mob of legends. 1d50000 flock to the street in support of a goal the caster designates. Unlike Flash Mob, the caster may designate a specific cause, target or goal that draws the crowds attention. The crowd may still do anything, including Plank, but they will plank for a common goal!
  • Carrion Surge - A deadly spell which takes advantage of modern societies most prevalent resource. This spell creates an electromagnetic well around a single target that draws the latent electricity in any objects in the area at the target. If a device with a portable battery is present the target takes +600 magic damage. If a device with a high voltage battery such as a car is present, the target takes +1000 magic damage. An active house electrical system causes +2000 magic damage, and something like a high voltage transformer station causes +10000 magic damage. This spell can only be performed once per 'area' (as once the line surges, the electricity will likely be cut off as a stop gap). This damage is cumulative, in that if a car and an electrical outlet are both present, the person takes both +1000 and +2000 magic damage, but if two cars are present the target only takes the one 1000.
  • Traceless - Uses a thermal layer of nanites to wipe traces off of an object or target. Skin cells, DNA, hair are incinerated beyond the scanning technology of most conventional worlds. Some ultra advanced technologies will detect the spell signature and may be able to reverse engineer the process, however it is at the least a deterrent to most.
  • Harry's Flying Car - Named after a famous wizard incident, enchants an automobile with the capacity for wingless flight. The levitation spell tracks the muscle motions of the driver.. applying a motion to the wheel akin to pushing in on a flight yoke lowers the front of the car while pulling back on it raises the nose. The car is capable of flying at twice it's regular speed, and is piloted with an aircraft check, not driven.
  • Protection from Radiation, Greater - A more potent variation of the protection from radiation spell which protects from the X-Ray spectrum of radiation as well as Alpha and Beta.
  • Protection from Radiation, Mass - A more widespread variation of the protection from radiation spell which expands the coverage from one person to an entire room.
  • Revert - Revives a target at 25% health and gives them the shell or protect (casters choice) status effect. This can only be used once every 5 rounds.
  • Safety Level - A careful application of medical nanites with an interesting effect. Should an attack otherwise KO the target of this spell, the nanites form a powerful layer that shields against the blast, nullifying the damage. The nanites are overwhelmed should the damage be sufficient to be automatically lethal in one hit (as an ion cannon blast would be). A caster may only designate this spell once per combat, and once per person per event.
  • Queens Kiss - A deadly kiss transferred via nanites embedded on the lips. Carries a 5% chance of killing mooks in one hit.. and presents an opportunity to remove something of value during the surprise to boot. Can only be attempted once per fight. Enemies that can not be instantly killed suffer +7000 magic damage instead. Strangely this move can only be used by women.

8th-level Technomancy 640 MP to cast, 100 Spell Points

  • Nuclear Bolt - A deadly non elemental attack which fires a solid dose of gamma radiation at a target, dealing +10000 non elemental damage and a 60% chance of afflicting Gamma Radiation status.
  • Street Brawl - A widespread berserk status effect that spreads amongst the weak minded in a crowd. NPC's important enough to have a will status are unaffected, but mooks will likely go on a mass rampage. The spells range starts within one block, but can spread for up to 12 hours to encompass cities or more.
  • Wind of Purity - Heals a myriad of status ailments on 3 targets. Removes Mild, Moderate, and Acute "Blind," "Confuse," "Disease," "Petrify," "Poison," "Silence," "Sleep," "Slow," "Stop," "Zombie," "Weak," "Heat," "Peril," "Magnetize," "Pain," "Trouble," "Feeble," "Sadness," "Fury," "Soaked," "Clod," "Infested," and "Shock" statuses. This can only be used once every 5 rounds.
  • Satellite - Summons an orbital beam of energy down upon an unfortunate target, dealing +10000 unsoakable damage. This spell must be dodged flat footed with no cover bonus unless the enemy declares they are constantly moving (or their location is, such as a car), and can not be braced or blocked.
  • Ether Cascade - The next ether spell that is below level 5 an is cast by the caster of this spell has it's effect, duration and cost doubled.
  • Red Mark - Creates a flashing weak spot on machines that grants improved critical hits (+10000 additional damage to a standing critical) on any machine afflicted. The machine may make a will check to actively notice and counteract this measure through any of several means.

9th-level Technomancy 810 MP to cast, 125 Spell Points
  • Gate - Gate opens up a subspace ettie around all enemies, attempting to absorb their mass into the cosmic fabric. Mooks have a 20% chance of instant death. This spell must be resisted via will and cannot be dodged or braced. It has no effect on PC's.
  • Defuse WMD - Defuses any explosive device up to and including weapons of mass destruction, but not including planet busters or antimatter explosives.
  • Atom Bomb - Creates a devastating +5000 damage shock wave that flattens buildings in a 9 block radius, as well as inflicting all enemies with gamma radiation. The culmination of destructive technomancy, this spell is indiscriminate about it's targets ally or otherwise and should be used with the greatest of consideration.
  • Neuralize - With a flash of light, the caster blanks out a portion of memory for a biological target for 20 seconds, during which time they may rewrite the memory by verbally communicating with them. Failing a will check of the casters roll means the attempt succeeds. The human mind (or equivalent) is an amazing thing which will patch holes in the story automatically as a preservation mechanism (we assume the facts our mind tells us are true for our own sake)
  • Refresh - Wipes out all negative status effects across the entire party and adds the positive status effect Regen and Charge X for 1d3 rounds. This can only be used once every 10 rounds.
