Limitless Wealth Conjuration Technique

Cost: 2 gossamer

Duration: One story

Type: Reflexive

Minimum Ring: 3

Minimum Essence: 1

Prerequisite Charms: Ordinary Object Conjuration

The raksha forges wealth from glamour. The raksha’s player rolls Intelligence + Bureaucracy as a Ring-shaping action. This Charm gives the raksha one temporary dot of Resources per success, to a maximum of the raksha’s Essence. She may immediately upgrade her lifestyle and living conditions to the new condition — she does not need to go and buy rich paintings to appoint her walls with them. Such wealth is raksha gold, disappearing at the end of the story. Canny buyers, whose Bureaucracy + Essence or Wits + Essence exceeds the raksha’s Bureaucracy, recognize her treasure as glamour-forged gilt.

 

Hateful Coin Curse

Cost: 3 gossamer

Duration: One story

Type: Reflexive

Minimum Ring: 3

Minimum Essence: 2

Prerequisite Charms: Ordinary Object Conjuration

The raksha unravels the fates of serenity and wealth. The raksha interacts with the target, and then, her player rolls Intelligence + Bureaucracy as a Ring-shaping action. Money slips through the target’s fingers, and the target finds himself unable to marshal his financial resources — his clothes grow tattered and torn, no one will take his coin, debtors will not pay, servants forget their contracts, and even the finest house lets in the cold, rain, wind and burglars.

This Charm temporarily reduces the target’s Resources by one dot per success. This is a work of glamour, and it does not affect creatures whose Wits + Essence exceeds the raksha’s Bureaucracy. The Charm also adds 2 to the difficulty of all the target’s mercantile transactions. This effect is a work of glamour, and it does not apply when either the target or the merchant the target interacts with has Wits + Essence exceeding the raksha’s Bureaucracy.
