Magic (Scion)

Magic is one of the special Purviews of Scion. It allows the user to manipulate the forces of Fate.

Powers

A Scion gets one free spell for each dot of Magic they have. Additional spells of equal or lesser rating can be purchased like Boons. It's possible to undo the effect of a seven-dot or lower spell by casting the same spell. Targets of spells always become Fatebound to the Scion casting it.

The Boons of the Samsara Purview can also be purchased as if they were spells.
