For every action, a d6 will be roled. The number will determine your success.
Action: Take a walk.
1=Critical fail. You slip on dog poo and fall head first on concrete.
2=Fail. You slip on a banana peel and fall on the floor.
3=No fail/no success. You would go for a walk, but lying here is just too comfortable/ You trip on a root and fall into thick meadow grass.
4=Partial success. You have a nice walk, but you feel exausted at the end.
5=Success. You have a nice stroll around the area.
6=Overshot. You walk. And then you walk some more. And then just a bit further. You now have no idea where you are.

You start with 8 points. 0 points gives you a -1 to respective rolls, 1 point gives you unmodified roll,3/6/9/12/15 give you + 1/2/3/4/5 respectively. Max base stat can be 16.
Strength: Your physical power, used in lifting, tearing apart, maiming, and so on.
Dexterity: Your ability to aim, dodge, and do acrobatics.
Speed: Your ability to run fast, and initiative.
Endurance: Your physical durability, pain tolerance and such.
Potency: Strength of your spells.

Warning, Potency does not increase your chance of success.
Four points of strength give you additional point of endurance, and vice versa.
Same goes for speed and dexterity.


All the bonus is aplied to result of the roll, not to the roll itself.

Example:

Mook A punches Mook B in the face.
a)STR roll = 5 + 3=8
  Mook A crushes Mooks B head with the punch.
b)STR roll = 6 + 3=9
  Mook A crushes Mooks B head with the punch. Three of Mooks A fingers were broken by the froce of the punch.

Note:There would be other rolls involved in actual combat, but this is simply an example.

You can choose anything that exists, and most things that don’t. You get a base +1 on all your spell success rolls.

You will be able to manipulate things that are directly your element for no malus on success rolls, but everything that is not your element will involve a penalty.

Say you chose weapons as a whole, and you want a steel zweihander, for legendary purposes. You would get -1 for specifying weapon, and -1 for specifying material, for a total of -2 to your roll. Choosing to summon a zweihander of unspecified material, or an unspecified steel weapon would only give you a -1.

Say you chose Ice, and want to control water, because water is just liquid ice. You get a -1 for specifying temperature of your ice. Or, if you want to control blood, which is currently not frozen, you get a -1 for temperature and another -1 for controlling the impurities of your liquid ice.

You get to phrase your actions, so be clever about it. Controlling a plant with water affinity could be:
a)Because plants come from water(-1) that is mixed with other materials(-1) which is then processed by other plants(-1) whom are powered by sunlight(-1).
b)By moving water that plants contain (-1) alongside all the impurities (-1).

Now anyone can create affinity specific essences. Creating an essence counts as a spell, what bonuses it will give to spellcast when used varies depending on rolls, though most will be +1/+1. You will have base +1 to CMP when creating this (no maluses for creating). You can use multiple essences for a cast, but only if the affinity for which the essence was created is used in the spell. You can only create essences for affinities that you have.

You start with five shards. Every kill gives you another five, plus extra five for each extra affinity and one for each extra stat point they purchased with shards, plus whatever amount was carried by your victim. Killing a shard summoned minion gives you shards depending on how powerful the minion was. You win by gathering 100 shards.

The shards can be spent on:

+1 to spell potency roll (1 shard)
+1 to curent CMP roll (2 shards)
+1 to POT stat (4 shards)
+1 to a random stat (5 shards)
+1 to a stat of your choice (6 shards)
Summoning of a non-magical minion (7 shards)
Gain another magical affinity (10 shards)
Double up on an afinity you already have, gaining +1/+1 to all spells of that afinity. (10 shards)
Gain +1 to all CMP rolls (12 shards)
Summoning of a magical minion (15 shards)
Improving a minnion (X shards, where X is the LUCK roll you rolled when summoning)
Shattering - you can shatter any number of shards for random results. You may get an artifact, blessing, curse, familiar, attacked by somthing, or you may triger some dormant power, say, a dormant god.

Every time you pray a LUCK roll is done to determine existence of god. If the reoll passes, another is done to check if the god cares abau your prayer. You can pray any ammount of times to an existing god and get a new roll for each prayer. If god does not exist, praying does not reroll for existing. You will not be told what was rolled. There are gods in the game, on the map, hidden. Calling to them will require shards.

Solid:Summoned or affected matter or force will take up a solid form.
Ethereal Summoned or affected matter will be phased out of reality.
Ranged: Allows you to control or summon objects outside of touch range. The place still needs to be within your field of vision.
Light: Your summoned or spell affected material will weight half as much.
Large: Your spell will summon or affect twice the amount it would usually do.
Summon: Your spell will create something out of thin air.
Following: Your aimed spell will try to catch target if it stays within your field of vision.
Concealed: Summoned or affected material will change color according to the background to remain unnoticeable over the course of ten seconds.

Weightless: Your summoned or spell affected material will weight nothing.
Huge: Your spell will summon or affect four times the amount it would usually do.
Mobile: Your summoned or spell affected material will move to your will. (Pot roll, small objects also become flying)
Hidden: Summoned or affected matter would be invisible until it hits/is hit by something solid, or hits/is hit by liquid at high speed.
Tracking: Your aimed spells will chase after targets, but this will not change spells movement or turning speeds.

Massive: Your spell will summon or affect tenfold the amount it would usually do.
Animate: Same as mobile, but will be able to do some minor shape changing. (Weapons would be able to change to other weapons, golems would be able to reattach limbs, armor would become tougher when attacked and so on.
Invisible: Your summoned or spell affected material is invisible at all times.
Homing: Your targeted spell is guaranteed to hit.

Quick Modifier: Can only work in projectiles. Damage is increased by 50% per level, rounded down.
Cluster Modifier: Allows summoning of multiple objects at the same time, but individually smaller.
Trigger Modifier: Triggers an Modifier when certain condition is achieved(eg. Ethereal when touched something 5 times).
Sense-Extension Modifier: Allows you to sense from an object. (Basic - touch. Advanced - hearing. Expert - sight)

You can create an essence of an afinity you have. This counts as a spell, and creates a patern of magic in your thoughts that can be used to boost your spell of that afinity. Essences can give your spell a boost up to +5/+5, but each essence decreases your SPD roll by 1 and DEX roll by 0.5.
Essence of +2/+1 means +2CMP and +1POT.
Essence bonuses
1/0* - 2=0
3 - 6     =+1
7 - 9     =+2
10 - 13 =+3
*If you get a total of 0 or lower on your CMP roll the essence collapses and a random effect related to the affinity based on a LUCK roll happens. On a total of -3 and below, the LUCK roll is skipped and result is as if the roll was poor.
If you get a total of -1 or lower on your POT roll, the result is an essence that grants CMP but takes POT. The same table of essence bonuses applies, but with all respective numbers being negative.

How they work:
1)Wizard begins casting a ritual, specifying the intended effect and ritual sacrifices(items).
2)CMP and POT are rolled, essence boosting is allowed. On CMP 1 the ritual fails. On CMP 6 the ritual fires off early. Either effect can be avoided by burning one of the ritual sacrifices. POT is pooled.
3)Repeat 2 until wizard decides the ritual is powered enough.
4)Ritual fires off, remaining sacrifices are destroyed adding 2 POT per sacrifice.

Limits: 3 sacrifices per wizard, sacrifices have to be related to the effect of the ritual, all sacrifices have to be diferent.

Bood power: Lesser and Greater.
Lesser, adds +1/+1 to a spell, can exceed +5/+5 max essence limit, doesn't give DEX/SPD malus, but inflicts a wound.
Greater, adds +3/+3 to a spell, can exceed +5/+5 max essence limit, doesn't give DEX/SPD malus, inflicts a magical wound related to afinity used, more lethality potential than lesser version.
Both can be used once per spell. END roll can resist up to entirety of dammage, but don't count on it.
Dammage is inflicted after the spell is cast.
