Media Files====== Powers ====== Whether hidden occult lore, voodoo rituals, wizardly magic, odd gadgets from mad scientists, super powers, or psionics, Savage World's various magic powers are all in one system called "powers". ===== Arcane Backgrounds ===== In order to gain access to powers, you must pick an [[../Arcane Backgrounds:start|Arcane Background]] Edge available to your setting. Every arcane background specifies: * **Arcane Skill** Each arcane background has a skill associated with its use. You take this skill and buy it just like any other skill on the skill list. The attribute to which the skill is linked is listed beside the skill itself. * **Starting Powers** The number of powers a hero starts with when selecting an Arcane Background. Some arcane backgrounds also specify the powers in question. You can learn new powers via the [[savage/edges/New Powers]] Edge. * **Power Points** The number of [[Power Points]] the character starts with when she chooses an Arcane Background. A hero increases her Power Points by taking the [[savage/edges/Power Points]] edge.SavePreviewCancel Edit summary
