Requirements: Rank: Veteran, Arcane Background: Witch or Shaman
Witches, Shamans, and similar magic users have access to additional supernatural abilities called hexes. You gain one of the following hexes each time you take this Edge and you can take it once per Rank. You cannot select an individual hex more than once.
HAG’S EYE: The witch creates an invisible magical sensor that sends her visual information. She creates the eye within a Range of Smarts. The eye the size of a normal human eyeball and has Flight at Pace 6. It sees exactly as the witch would if she were there.
The eye can’t leave the witch's plane for any reason. It functions for one minute increments, up to 10 minutes per day.
NIGHTMARES: The witch may automatically place a curse on a target within a Range of twice her Smarts. The victim must make a Spirit roll at –2 when it tries to sleep or be tormented by terrible nightmares, preventing her from resting (see Sleep Hazards). If the Spirit roll is successful the nightmares pass until the witch hexes him again.
VISION: The witch can grant a glimpse of the future to a creature she touches. Granting a vision takes a full minute of concentration, during which time she must remain in contact with her subject. At the end of this time, the target receives a brief image of the near future (usually no more than one year) of the Game Master's discretion. The witch can grant this individual no further visions until this one has come to pass (or not).
This is only the most likely version of the future, so such visions are unreliable at best.
A witch cannot use this ability on herself.
WAXEN IMAGE: This hex gives the witch the puppet power if she doesn't already have it. As a limited action, she may create a crude and unnerving wax duplicate of a creature she can see within a Range of Smarts.
She may then cast puppet on the target of her waxen image from any distance. If she can see the target she adds +2 to the roll. The waxen image melts after use, so she must make a new one after each casting.
The witch can only have one waxen image at a time. If she creates another, the previous image becomes useless.
WEATHER CONTROL: The witch may cast elemental manipulation with the Weather Power Modifier at no cost, once per day.
