You have a deeply personal trinket that can be infused with protective magic and held as a ward by you or an ally. Describe what it is and why it's important to you. The ward's holder can spend a Hope to reduce incoming damage by 1d8.

If the Ward Die result is 8, the ward's power ends after it reduces damage this turn. It can be recharged for free on your next rest.

At the beginning of a session, place a number of tokens equal to your Spellcast trait on this card.

Make a Spellcast Roll against a target within Far range and spend any number of tokens to channel raw energy from within yourself to unleash against them.

At the end of each session, clear all unspent tokens.

Spend a Hope to allow a creature you can touch to climb on walls and ceilings as easily as walking on the ground. This lasts until the end of the scene or you cast Wall Walk again.

When you roll your damage dice, you can reroll any 1s or 2s.

Once per rest, when you roll with Fear, you can spend any number of Hope to place an equal number of tokens on this card, encasing yourself in a shadowy veil. After an attack roll is made against you, you can spend a number of tokens to increase it by 1d8. Additionally, when you take damage, you can spend a token to reduce it by 1d8. Each time you succeed on a token, you lose one token. On your next rest, remove all tokens from this card.

- What direction did they go?

- What were they doing in this location?

- How many of them were here?

When you encounter creatures you've tracked in this way, gain a +1 bonus to your Evasion against them.

You can speak the language of the natural world. When you want to speak to the plants and animals around you, make an Instinct Roll (12). On a success, they'll give you the information they know. On a roll with Fear, their knowledge might be limited or come at a cost.

Additionally, before you make a Spellcast Roll while within a natural environment, you can spend a Hope to gain a +2 bonus to the roll.
