Abilities: The ability to Shadow Meld is now automatic, and requires no P.P.E.^tm to activate. The magician is also able to burn off additional P.P.E.^tm (no cost reductions may be applied) at any time to fuel the development of these darkness related powers:

Shadowleap: Costs 20 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 15 P.P.E.^tm This is a limited teleportation ability that gives the character the power to jump into a shadow and appear out of one nearby! In a dark area, the character can truly come out of nowhere. For areas that are mostly shadow (+70%) give the character a +4 on initiative, +4 to strike, +6 to dodge, and an Automatic Dodge. For partially shadowed areas (40%-69%) the character gets +2 on initiative, +2 to strike, and +4 to dodge. Areas that are rather well lit (0%-39% shadowed) don't offer any bonuses. The range of the shadow teleportation is 50ft +10ft per level and the duration is three minutes per level.

Black Light: Costs 5 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 5 P.P.E.^tm The blast has a range of 300ft and it strikes nearly perfectly (an 18 or higher can dodge it). Damage is 2d4 per level of the dark mage (mega- damage^tm Rifts®). The casting of this spell generates an intense beam of icy black energy. Animated dead and undead suffer no damage from this effect, but it does double damage to beings of light like unicorns, angels, and Guardians.

Darkwhip: Costs 10 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 5 P.P.E.^tm Similar to the Nightbane^tm talent of the same name, this magical power lets the darkness mage create a long tendril, chain, or whip that can be used in melee combat. The range of the whip is 15ft, it lasts for two minutes per level, and it can be used to disarm and entangle with a +1 bonus. Damage is 4d6 damage +1 per level of experience.

Shadowedge: Costs 15 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 10 P.P.E.^tm The dark- mage gains the ability to create a weapon that is basically the opposite of a Lightblade. A sword- like construct of black energy and indigo flame is created, +1 to strike and parry, able to parry energy attacks, does double damage against creatures vulnerable to darkness attacks, and no damage against beings that are impervious to darkness attacks. The blade does 1d4x10 damage +2 per level of experience and lasts for two minutes per level of experience.

Penalties: All light- based attacks, including magic Sunbeams, conventional lasers, flash grenades do double damage and/or last for double duration (in the case of blindness).

Bonuses: +1 to P.E. and +10 S.D.C.^tm (or add +5% to the character's M.D.C.^tm base if a mega- damage^tm creature already).

Abilities: Gains the ability to use the earth elemental magic spells of Chameleon, Repel Animals, Dust Storm, Quicksand, and Sand Storm at will (half P.P.E.^tm cost). He also gains constant abilities that are equivalent to the earth elemental magic spells of Dowsing, Track, and Locate Minerals (no P.P.E.^tm cost to use).

Value (in gold): 40,000
Value (in credits): 60,000
Avaliability: Common (demand is low)

Bonuses: +1 to P.E. and +20 S.D.C.^tm (or add +10% to the character's M.D.C.^tm base if a mega- damage^tm creature already).

He also gains constant abilities that are equivalent to the earth elemental magic spells of Dowsing, Identify Minerals, Identify Plants, Track, and Locate Minerals (no P.P.E.^tm cost to use).

Bonuses: +1 to M.E., +2 to P.E., +3 to save vs poisons/ toxins, and +3 to save vs possession.

Abilities: The mage gains a unique advantange - an armor rating! The armor rating begins at 8, and add +1 to it every other level of experience after the Master Aspect is gained. If a mortal creature in a heavy magic energy environment (yeah, Rifts®) then turn the hit points into an M.D.C.^tm equivalent. Those that are already mega- damage^tm beings gain an extra +10 M.D.C.^tm every other level of experience.

The magician is also able to burn off additional P.P.E.^tm (no cost reductions may be applied) at any time to fuel the development of these earth element related powers:

Chasm: As per the earth elemental magic spell, costs 15 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 10 P.P.E.^tm

Earth Skin: The mage can summon the earth around him to become a shell of rock, stone, sand, dirt, dust, and metal (whatever is available). It costs 50 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 15 P.P.E.^tm The stats are: Lasts for one minute per level, provides an A.R. of 16 and +400 S.D.C.^tm (or 300 M.D.C.^tm), impervious to poisons and toxins and doesn't need to breathe, fire and cold resistant (half damage), physical weight is doubled and speed is reduced by 30%, and the P.S. is increased by +5 (consider it supernatural). The effect takes a full melee to summon.

Bonuses: +1 to P.E. and +1 to P.P.

Abilities: The mage and his aura become impervious to damage from both normal and magical fire, heat, and smoke (extends to body armor, but not power armor). He is also able to create effects equivalent to the fire elemental magic spells of Heat Object and Boil Water and Extinguish Fire (half P.P.E.^tm, Fire Ball (7 P.P.E.^tm), and Fire Whip (20 P.P.E.^tm)

Value (in gold): 60,000
Value (in credits): 90,000
Avaliability: Common (demand is moderate)

Bonuses: +1 to P.E. and +2 to P.P.

Abilities: The mage and his aura become impervious to damage from both normal and magical fire, heat, and smoke (extends to body armor, but not power armor) and has Thermovision - 300ft range. He is also able to create effects equivalent to the fire elemental magic spells of Heat Object and Boil Water, Spontaneous Combustion, Extinguish Fire, and Fuel Flame (half P.P.E.^tm cost).

Abilities: The mage gains great skill in manipulating fire and heat in various forms. He can create effects equivalent to the fire elemental magic spells of Create Heat and Lower Temperature (3 P.P.E.^tm each), Fire Ball (5 P.P.E.^tm), Circle of Flame (7 P.P.E.^tm), Wall of Flame (10 P.P.E.^tm), and Fire Whip (15 P.P.E.^tm)

Bonuses: +1 to M.E. and +3 to save vs possession.

Abilities: The mage's Thermovision increases to a 1000ft range and he can also sense fire with equal ability to a fire warlock (count the skill increases as beginning from the level that the Master Aspect was acquired). He is also able to burn off additional P.P.E.^tm (no cost reductions may be applied) at any time to fuel the development of these fire element related powers:

Eternal Flame: As per the fire elemental magic spell, costs 50 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 5 P.P.E.^tm

Fire Sponge: As per the fire elemental magic spell, costs 25 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 10 P.P.E.^tm

Suffers half the penalties from blindness caused by bright light, and if a save throw against it is required it is made at +1. The character can also create effects equivalent to the common magic spells of Blinding Flash and Globe of Daylight, both for 1 P.P.E.^tm The mage also gains the power to become invisible at will equivalent to the spell Invisibility: Simple (3 P.P.E.^tm)

Value (in gold): 50,000
Value (in credits): 75,000
Avaliability: Common (demand is moderate)

Bonuses: +1 to M.E., +1 to P.E., +1 on initiative, and +2 on visual perception rolls.

Abilities: Infrared/ ultraviolet vision - 1000ft, nightvision - 600ft, darkvision (see in total darkness) - 100ft, thermovision - 300ft, see the invisible, sees 30% more color than normal, and has polarized vision. Suffers half the penalties from blindness caused by bright light, and if a save throw against it is required it is made at +2. The character can also create effects equivalent to the common magic spells of Blinding Flash, Globe of Daylight, and Lantern Light (page 130 of Federation of Magic^tm) at will, each for 1 P.P.E.^tm

Bonuses: +2 to P.P. and +3 to save vs possession.

Abilities: The mage can fine- tune the effect on the Blinding Flash so that it affects a single target with a 1 ft to 3 ft diameter sphere of white light. The Globe of Daylight he creates also causes one hit point of damage per melee to creatures like vampires (increases to 1d4 damage in a Rifts® world).

The character can also see all forms of electromagnetic radiation, 100ft range, and can tell what kind of EM radiation he's looking at with an accuracy of 50% +4% per level of experience. Also extend infrared/ ultraviolet vision to 2000ft and thermovision to 600ft.

The light- based power of the mage also gives a defense against some attacks. All laser and light based attacks do no damage to him or the armor he wears. Energy and electrical attacks do half damage. Fire and ice do normal damage. The protection extends to the aura and just beyond, so normal armor is affected and not any power armor.

Appearance Changes: The eyes no longer have an apparent iris or any sort of pigmentation. They are completely white and glow faintly.

Penalties: Supernatural creatures that are vulnerable to light/ laser energy can sense the character's abilities and are unsettled by them (if not outright afraid). Thus, when they attack they will most likely attack the light mage first.

Bonuses: +3 to save vs possession.

Abilities: The mage gains the power to become invisible at will, equivalent to either Invisibility: Simple (3 P.P.E.^tm) or Invisibility: Superior (10 P.P.E.^tm) At times, one might be more useful than the other.

The magician is also able to burn off additional P.P.E.^tm (no cost reductions may be applied) at any time to fuel the development of these light related powers:

Lightblade: Costs 15 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 10 P.P.E.^tm The light- mage gains the ability to create a weapon that is basically an amplified Lightblade (see pg. 142 of the Federation of Magic^tm) A blade of any color light can be created, +1 to strike and parry, able to parry energy attacks, does double damage against creatures vulnerable to light or sunlight, and no damage against beings that are impervious to energy attacks. The blade does 1d4x10 damage +2 per level of experience and lasts for two minutes per level of experience.

Glitterblast: Costs 5 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 5 P.P.E.^tm A glitterblast is a stream of pulsing light, with a range of 18ft +2ft per level and it strikes automatically (only a natural 20 or modified 24 or higher can dodge it). Damage is 1d6 per level of the light mage (mega- damage^tm in Rifts®). If a victim is struck he must also roll a save throw vs magic or be blinded as per the Blinding Flash spell.

Sunbeam: Costs 5 P.P.E.^tm to perform and requires a sacrifice of 5 P.P.E.^tm A Sunbeam can only be projected from a Globe of Daylight, which must be created as it is the source of the sunlight. The blast has a range of 600ft and it strikes nearly perfectly (an 18 or higher can dodge it). Damage is 1d6 per level of the light mage (mega- damage^tm in Rifts®). Obviously, this attack does double damage to vampires!

Aurora: Costs 3 P.P.E.^tm per melee to perform and requires a sacrifice of 5 P.P.E.^tm The character also gains the ability to generate an aurora of light pulses, laser- light pictures, quasi- realistic images (recognizable, but not a convincing illusion) and color sprays with a 5ft per level radius of effect and a 50ft +10ft range per level, with a small amount of concentration (-2 on initiative and loses one melee action). The lights do no damage, but are distracting enought to impose a -2 on initiative and -1 to strike, parry, and dodge on everyone in the radius of effect. The mage can increase the penalties by paying more P.P.E.^tm. 6 P.P.E.^tm will double the penalties, 9 will triple them, etc.

Appearance Changes: The eyes glow brightly enough to light up a room with a light anywhere from 25 to 300 watts. His skin seems luminescent and reflective. The aura of the character also shines blue or white when he is excited.

Penalties: All darkness- based attacks, spells, etc. do double damage and/or last for double the normal duration.

Bonuses: +1 to M.E. and a +2 to Horror Factor (or instead, a Horror Factor of 7 is gained).

Abilities: The magician can cast all combat oriented magic for half the listed P.P.E.^tm cost! If the mage already has a specialization or something that cuts the cost in half then reduce the cost to a third of normal (but never less than that).

For magicians that already have worked the casting cost down to a third of normal, something else is required. Instead of reducing the casting cost, allow them to cast spells at half the listed cost but with double the range. A little extra P.P.E.^tm produces a drastic increase in distance!

Penalties: Not exactly a penalty per se, but more of a logical effect of the caster's dangerousness. Any magician who can cast combat magic with ease is going to be a big threat, so they will probably one of the first beings targeted in any combat if the attackers know anything about the magician.

Value (in gold): 150,000
Value (in credits): 200,000
Avaliability: Uncommon (demand is pretty high)

Abilities: Magical combat spells that require a strike roll gain a +2 bonus to strike. All combat spells cast by the character see an increase of +25% in range.

Also, combat spells gain a damage bonus of +1d6 for spells from levels 1-4, a +2d6 damage bonus for spells between 5-8, and a +3d6 bonus for spells level 9 or higher. If the spell gets a static bonus per level, such as a +1 or a +2 damage, add a +1 to that instead (a 1d6x10 plus 1 per level magic spell becomes a 1d6x10 plus 2 per level magic spell).

Bonuses: +2 to M.E. and a +1 to Horror Factor (or instead, a Horror Factor of 8 is gained).

Abilities: The magician can cast all combat oriented magic for half the listed P.P.E.^tm cost! If the mage already has a specialization or something that cuts the cost in half then reduce the cost to a third of normal (but never less than that).

For magicians that already have worked the casting cost down to a third of normal, something else is required. Instead of reducing the casting cost, allow them to cast spells at half the listed cost but with double the range. A little extra P.P.E.^tm produces a drastic increase in distance!

Penalties: Not exactly a penalty per se, but more of a logical effect of the caster's dangerousness. Any magician who can cast combat magic with ease is going to be a big threat, so they will probably one of the first beings targeted in any combat if the attackers know anything about the magician.

Bonuses: +2 to M.E. and a +2 to Horror Factor.

Abilities: The affinity for combat magic allows the magician to channel P.P.E.^tm directly into damaging magical effects rather than casting spells. Further, any type of damage can be caused! The master of combat magic can now create a damaging spray of acid, a huge fireball, a wave of freezing ice shards and hail, a bolt of electrical energy, a few energized particles, etc. with equal ease and without needing to know special spells.

This general attack has a range of 150ft +25ft per level and a bonus to strike equal to the character's M.E. bonus plus another +2 (from the Minor Aspect) and +1 more at levels seven and twelve. Damage in an S.D.C.^tm world is 1 P.P.E.^tm for a 1d4 or 1d6 S.D.C.^tm zap, 3 for a 3d4 or 2d6 attack, 5 for a 3d6-5d6 attack, 10 per 6d6 or 1d4x10 damage, and 15 per 1d6x10 damage. For an M.D.C.^tm world the same cost produces the same damage in mega- damage^tm and S.D.C.^tm blasts can be generated for one- third (round up) of the cost of an M.D.C.^tm one.

In the alternative, damaging magic spells can be augmented with a little extra P.P.E.^tm A conventional Fire Ball spell or other damaging spell that is a multiple of 1d6 can have extra damage added at the cost of 2 per additional 1d6 damage, or instead for a Sub- Particle Acceleration like spell (1d6x10 damage +1 per level of experience) 3 P.P.E. ^tm can be spent per static +5 damage bonus. If a spell has a limited range and an extended duration (like a Lightblade or other magical melee weapon) then extra damage can be gained for one melee at the cost of 1 P.P.E.^tm per extra point of damage. So, 10 P.P.E.^tm can produce a +10 damage bonus that lasts for a melee round. This 'damage augmentation' is most often used when a magician knows some combat spells at a high level and finds it is more economical to boost damage of a known spell.

Appearance Changes: Eyes, hands, and/or the aura begins to crackle with energy whenever the character is excited. The character might also float an inch or two off the ground at all times.

Penalties: The character's aura becomes charged with a distinctive flavor that tips off anyone who can see auras or sense magic that the character is extremely dangerous. The magical aura is also +25% easier to find by scrying or sensing and is difficult to hide or mask (-25% on attempts to do so).

Bonuses: +1 to M.E., +1% to all Magic skill rolls, +1 to spell strength, and +1 to save vs magic.

Abilities: Can cast all spell magic of a level one- third of the character's or less at half P.P.E.^tm cost. Thus, a 7th level mage could cast all level one and two spells for half P.P.E.^tm cost, with a minimum cost of 1 P.P.E.^tm

Value (in gold): +350,000
Value (in credits): +500,000
Avaliability: Rare (demand is very high)

Bonuses: +1 to M.E., +2% to all Magic skill rolls, +1 to spell strength, and +1 to save vs magic.

Abilities: Has an extra melee action that can be used only to cast spells with. So if the character had four hand to hand attacks and wanted to cast two quick spells (one attack each), attack physically once, and cast a bit more complex spell (two attacks required) - he could use his extra melee action on any one of the spells.

Penalties: -1 to M.A., since magic becomes more of a priority and charm becomes less of one.

Bonuses: +1 to M.E., +2% to all Magic skill rolls, +3 to save vs possession, and +1 to save vs horror factor.

Abilities: Can cast all spell magic of a level one- half of the character's or less at half cost. A 7th level mage could cast all level one through three spells for half P.P.E.^tm cost, with a minimum cost of 1 P.P.E.^tm Round downwards in all cases.

Appearance Changes: Some part of the body glows with a magical light (not enough to see by). This is usually the eyes, but might be the third eye (the sixth chakra), all the scar tissue on the character's body, the veins (glowing through the skin), the palms of the hands, the character's breath, etc.

Penalties: -2 to M.A., since magic becomes even more of a priority. The character might get referred to as 'that freak who lives alone' or the 'old crazy wizard in the tower.' However, the magician also gains a horror factor of 7 (good for scaring kids).

Bonuses: +1 to I.Q., +1 to save vs psionics, +3 to save vs possession, and +2 to save vs horror factor.

Abilities: Options below can be gained for the permanent sacrifice of more P.P.E.^tm, but is not a requirement (don't apply any cost reductions, either). These abilities can be selected whenever desired and are limited only by the character's available P.P.E.^tm

Spell Expertise: Each time this is chosen, one spell of choice that is currently known can be cast at half P.P.E.^tm cost. This cannot further reduce the cost of any spell that is already cast for less mana than normal. The permanent P.P.E.^tm cost is equal to 10% of the energy needed to cast the spell (round up in case of a fraction, minimum of 2 P.P.E.^tm)

Extra Magic Strength: A point of magic strength can be 'purchased' for each 6 P.P.E.^tm burned off - so for 18 P.P.E.^tm it would be possible to increase spell strength, Aspect strength, and ritual strength by +1, or Aspect strength by +2 and spell strength by +1, or spell strength by +3, etc.

Magical Power: The mage has somehow gained the ability to use one spell of a level less than or equal to one- half of the magician's level at will. It functions exactly like the spell does, with power level being measured from the character's level when the ability was developed. Instant effect spells and offensive use spells can be used up to three times per melee. Any spell with a duration can be used without limit, so long as P.P.E.^tm is used to fuel another duration. Each use of the spell ability counts as one melee action, and only requires one third of the normal P.P.E.^tm activation cost to use (round down, minimum cost of 1 P.P.E.^tm) The permanent P.P.E.^tm to acquire is equal to 50% of the P.P.E.^tm cost to cast the spell desired or 5 P.P.E.^tm, whichever is more. For each spell gained in this way, subtract a -1 from the P.E. attribute. Appearance Changes: The whole body glows with magical power. Alternately - the character might be constantly levitating an inch or two off the ground, he might generate flashes of magical energy that arc into nearby objects on occasion (not damaging, just distracting), his voice might sound inhuman, etc.

Penalties: Any weapon or spell that does extra damage against creatures of magic affects the character in the same way.

Aspect of Mind

Note: The powers granted with these Aspect are magical powers that emulate psionic abilities. Thus, the character with these Aspects does not gain a lower target number to save vs psionics. Use the same target number as you always did (15 for a non- psychic, 12 for a minor or major psychic, or 10 for a master psychic). Mystics (and similar magic O.C.C.s) can develop these Aspects at half cost.

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Temporary: 30

Bonuses: +3 to save vs possession, +1 to save vs mind control (all kinds), +1 to save vs insanity, and +2 to save vs psionics.

Abilities: The character acquires magical powers that function just like psionic powers (when others save against them, use save vs psionics - not magic). They are fueled by P.P.E.^tm but are otherwise the exact same as the psionic power of the same name.

The mage acquires the ability of Mind Block, plus may select either three minor or one super 'psychic' power of choice with the same exceptions as listed with the Minor and Master Aspects.

Penalties: -1 to M.E., due to the difficulty in managing the control of unfamiliar psychic faculties.

Value (in gold): 120,000
Value (in credits): 150,000
Avaliability: Uncommon (demand is high)

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Minor: 25

Bonuses: +1 to M.E., +2 to save vs possession, +1 to save vs mind control (all kinds), +1 to save vs insanity, and +1 to save vs psionics.

Abilities: The character acquires magical powers that function just like psionic powers (when others save against them, use save vs psionics - not magic). They are fueled by P.P.E.^tm but are otherwise the exact same as the psionic power of the same name.

The mage acquires the abilities of Mind Block and two other 'psychic' powers of choice from a single minor category, with these exceptions (can't be selected): Spontaneous Combustion, Teleport Object, Float, Levitation, Telekinesis (or any Telekinesis discipline), Healing Touch, Increased Healing, Bio- Regeneration, Attack Disease, Psychic Purification, Psychic Surgery, or Astral Projection.

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Major: 35

Bonuses: +2 to M.E., +2 to save vs possession, +1 to save vs mind control (all kinds), +1 to save vs insanity, and +1 to save vs psionics.

Abilities: More magical abilities are gained that emulate psionic powers. Select another three powers that are equivalent to minor psionic abilities, within the Minor Aspect limitations.

Appearance Changes: The head becomes 10% larger and the neck becomes a little longer and more graceful.

Penalties: -1 to P.B. from the larger head.

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Master: 50

Bonuses: +2 to M.E., +2 to save vs possession, +1 to save vs mind control (all kinds), +1 to save vs insanity, and +1 to save vs psionics.

Abilities: As with the previous Aspects, magical powers are acquired that emulate psionic abilities. With the Master level Aspect the new powers are equivalent to super psionic powers. The character gains one super psionic power of choice with these exceptions: Bio- Regeneration (Super), Catatonic Strike, Psi- Shield, Psi- Sword, all kinesis disciplines, and all Telemechanic powers.

The magician is also able to burn off additional P.P.E.^tm (no cost reductions may be applied) at any time to fuel the development of more magical mind powers. Any new 'pseudo- psionic power' within the stated limits can be purchased with the burning off P.P.E.^tm equal to the I.S.P.^tm needed to use the power.

Special Note: Mystic characters (and only those characters) who gain the Master Aspect are able to fuel their psychic powers and their magical pseudo- psychic powers with either I.S.P.^tm or P.P.E.^tm Their attunement to their own energies is such that their mental powers can be fueled by either type of paranormal energy (or a mixture of both if necessary). There are no changes in activation costs of the powers.

Appearance Changes: The eyes take on an eerie glow (or possibly the third eye radiates energy instead), the facial features become sharper and more defined, and the face shows little emotion at any time.

Penalties: -2 to M.A., since the growth in mind power is equivalent to a loss in normal social functioning - tends to spend more time pondering and calculating in the corner than interacting with people.

Aspect of Probability

Note: This Aspect absolutely requires the Federation of Magic^tm book to make full use of.

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Temporary: 30

Bonuses: +1 on all save throws, and +15% to any skill when using it to determine probabilities.

Abilities: The character gets a magical ability equivalent to the psionic power of Psychokinesis, the ability to influence odds. Same exact stats - just change the I.S.P.^tm cost to a P.P.E.^tm cost. Also, the character has a spell ability that is equivalent to the magic spell of Deflect (page 133) or Ricochet Strike (page 134). Whichever one is acquired (depends on a variation in the ritual) is cast at two- thirds of the listed P.P.E.^tm cost.

Note that with the +15% skill bonus, the character (meaning, the GM probably tells the player) can figure out odds on most kinds of events. Players - don't annoy your GM too badly with this.

Penalties: -1 to M.A. because the mage is now calculating probabilities on lots of things and doing so often - the mage is either distracted in a social situation or spouts off probabilties with five digits of accuracy.

Value (in gold): 75,000
Value (in credits): 100,000
Avaliability: Rare (demand is moderate)

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Minor: 20

Bonuses: +1 on all save throws, and +25% to any skill when using it to determine probabilities.

Abilities: The character gets a magical ability equivalent to the psionic power of Psychokinesis, the ability to influence odds. Same exact stats - just change the I.S.P.^tm cost to a P.P.E.^tm cost. Begin adding ability skill bonuses starting with the level that this Aspect is gained.

Note that with the +25% skill bonus, the character (meaning, the GM probably tells the player) can figure out odds on most kinds of events. Players - don't annoy your GM too badly with this.

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Major: 35

Bonuses: +1 on all save throws and +1 to parry and dodge.

Abilities: Increase the range of the Psychokinesis ability to 30ft! Also, the character has spell abilities that are equivalent to the magic spells of Deflect (page 133) and Ricochet Strike (page 134) but are cast at half the listed P.P.E.^tm cost.

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Master: 50

Bonuses: +1 on all save throws and +1 to parry and dodge.

Abilities: The character gains more spell abilities, and these are equivalent to the magic spells of Targeted Deflection (page 140, 10 P.P.E.^tm, and gets a special +2 bonus applicable to all rolls using the ability), Negate Mechanics (page 134, 15 P.P.E.^tm), and the incredible Beat Insurmountable Odds (page 146, 30 P.P.E.^tm when used on self and 60 when used on others).

Penalties: -2 to M.A. and -1 to M.E., because the mage is now calculating probabilities on all things at nearly all times - and the M.A. reduction comes into play in that he is either pretty distracted in a social situation or spouts off probabilties with ten digits of accuracy.

Aspect of Resistance

In these Aspects, the phrase 'all save throws' includes every conceivable save throw plus horror factor, but not perception. This Aspect is popular among Shifters, for obvious reasons....

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Temporary: 20

Bonuses: +2 to M.E., +3 to P.E., +5 hit points (or add +5% to the character's M.D.C.^tm base), and add a +3 on all save throws.

Abilities: Recovers from all poisons, toxins, radiation, offensive magic spells, psionic attacks, etc. in half the normal time!

Value (in gold): 75,000
Value (in credits): 100,000
Avaliability: Common (demand is moderate)

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Minor: 15

Bonuses: +2 to M.E., +2 to P.E., +5 hit points (or add +5% to the character's M.D.C.^tm base), and add a +2 on all save throws.

Abilities: Recovers from all poisons, toxins, radiation, offensive magic spells, psionic attacks, etc. in half the normal time!

Appearance Changes:

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Major: 30

Bonuses: Add a +3 on all save throws and +5 hit points (or add +5% to the character's M.D.C.^tm base).

Abilities: Heat and cold based attacks do half damage (but fire and ice do full damage), plus the character can survive in extreme environments for up to double the amount of time a normal could survive.

Appearance Changes: The character looks to be quite healthy.

P.P.E.^tm Cost - Master: 40

Bonuses: +2 on M.E., add another +4 on all save throws and +10 hit points (or add +10% to the character's M.D.C.^tm base).

Abilities: The character gains a supernatural force of will that nets him a +2 or +25% on rolls for mental domination - which includes saves against possession, psionic attacks, mind- altering drugs, vampiric mind control, challenges from demonic servants, resisting the beauty of Aphrodite, and commanding supernatural beings in battles of will. This willpower also protects him from minor physical ailments (headaches, sinus infections, arthritis, etc.)

For the cost of 2 P.P.E.^tm any toxin or chemical within the body can be instantly destroyed, but even if it is not destroyed it only has a third of the penalties and damage against the character. All fire, ice, heat, cold, and electrical attacks do half damage (energy and light are still effective).

The character also gains a minor regeneration ability - one hit point and 1d4 S.D.C.^tm (or 1d6 M.D.C.^tm) is recovered per hour. If a regeneration ability is already possessed, combine the two - the magician learns to enhance his natural healing abilities. Such is the power of the character's mental and physical resistance to harm.

Appearance Changes: Appears to be perpetually healthy!

Penalties: The resistance to poisons, chemicals, radiation, magic spells, psionic attacks, etc. also applies to helpful kinds as well. The M.E. willpower bonus can be used to negate the character's Aspect save throw bonus and increase the chances of the chemical (or whatever) having its normal effect (so a +6 M.E. bonus could reduce a +10 save vs magic to a +4, making it more likely for necessary healing and cleansing magic to be performed. Only when casting spells and using psychic abilities on himself does this hyper- resistance not apply (no save throw must be rolled).
