You may spend an action to use concentration skill or occult skill to summon or manipulate this element within your range into a desired shape. This shape can be up to the size of 1 cubic space and at a range of up to 5 spaces per rank of this stance. You can make basic shapes easily, but if you are looking to make a complex shape like the form of a person, you will need to roll a craft skill check against a challenge rank assigned by the narrator (average: trained 2d6). Once a shape is formed, you can maintain that shape for as long as you remain in the stance. If the form of the element is created as a weapon or a tool, you can hold and wield it as such. As an action you can either move the shape up to 5 spaces plus one space per rank of this stance in any direction, you can change the shape of the element, or you can release your elemental creation and form another one within your range. If you attack with this element, you can use the aim skill or melee combat skill skill as appropriate for the weapon created, or you can use concentration skill or occult skill to attack if summoning the element at the target in its raw form. If defending with this element, you may use melee combat skill, concentration skill, or occult skill as appropriate, but the defense needs to make sense according to the narrative. For example, if you are defending against a physical object using an intangible element, the Narrator may rule that it is not possible to use this element for that defense. DAMAGE: Direct damage is slashing, piercing, or crushing damage depending on the shape of the element and deals damage equal to your skill impact dice roll +2. CONDITIONS: conditions are mostly based on manipulating the stone and metal around the target. Attacks are normally defended with melee shield deflection or reaction skill to move out of the way or prevent locking onto the target. The player may of course make other suggestions to the narrator for a different skill that could also make sense as the defense. ACTIONS: Can move and shape stone and metal.

STANCE: Elementalist: ThoughtThe manipulation of thought. This ability has not affect on non-sentient beings. For the duration of this stance, you can use concentration skill, occult skill, or insight skill against the target's concentration skill to sense their active thoughts at a range of up to 5 spaces per rank in this stance. You may spend an action to then attempt to manipulate a character's thoughts by using concentration skill or occult skill against the target's concentration skill. If you succeed, you can directly communicate with the character even if you do not understand each others language. Or you can cause the character to hallucinate by seeing and or hearing something that does not exist, or injecting a thought or suggestion into their head and making it seem as if it was their own thought. If the hallucination or thought would seem too unbelievable to the character, then the narrator may give the character an insight skill check against a determined difficulty to see if they would act on it. A character can willingly fail their concentration check if they choose to do so. You may psychically attack a character with this element using concentration skill or occult skill. DAMAGE: Direct damage is psychic damage dealing your skill impact dice roll +2. CONDITIONS: conditions are mostly based on stunning and causing confusion. Attacks are normally defended with the concentration skill to resist or reaction skill to move out of the way or prevent locking onto the target. The player may of course make other suggestions to the narrator for a different skill that could also make sense as the defense. ACTIONS: Can communicate silently even across language barriers and can read surface thoughts.

You may spend an action to use concentration skill or occult skill to summon or manipulate this element within your range into a desired shape. This shape can be up to the size of 1 cubic space and at a range of up to 5 spaces per rank of this stance. You can make basic shapes easily, but if you are looking to make a complex shape like the form of a person, you will need to roll a craft skill check against a challenge rank assigned by the narrator (average: trained 2d6). Once a shape is formed, you can maintain that shape for as long as you remain in the stance. If the form of the element is created as a weapon or a tool, you can hold and wield it as such. As an action you can either move the shape up to 5 spaces plus one space per rank of this stance in any direction, you can change the shape of the element, or you can release your elemental creation and form another one within your range. If you attack with this element, you can use the aim skill or melee combat skill skill as appropriate for the weapon created, or you can use concentration skill or occult skill to attack if summoning the element at the target in its raw form. If defending with this element, you may use melee combat skill, concentration skill, or occult skill as appropriate, but the defense needs to make sense according to the narrative. For example, if you are defending against a physical object using an intangible element, the Narrator may rule that it is not possible to use this element for that defense. DAMAGE: Direct damage is slashing, piercing, crushing, or cold damage dealing your skill impact dice roll +1. CONDITIONS: conditions are mostly cold based on hindering movement with cold or causing ongoing damage with frostbite or suffocation. Attacks are normally defended with the strength skill to resist, melee shield deflection, or reaction skill to move out of the way or prevent locking onto the target. The player may of course make other suggestions to the narrator for a different skill that could also make sense as the defense. ACTIONS: Can summon ice shapes and water.

STANCE: TechnomancyYou can mentally link to and manipulate technology and machines at a distance of up to 10 spaces per rank in this stance using your craft or science skill as if it were just another part of your body.

If someone else is attempting to control of the technology or machine, such as the security protocol of a computer or the driver of a vehicle, then their is a challenge check of your craft or science skill against the opponent's appropriate skill before you can take any action and the same applies to their attempt to use the same technology or machine.
(Costs 1 Point of Spin/10acity to Enter Stance)
STANCE: TelekineticBy using your concentration or occult skill to coalesce mental effort into a physical manifestation of power, you can can perform any action that could normally accomplish through physical touch on an object or character at a distance of up to 10 spaces. This includes striking, grappling, locking, and physically moving the target. Even special actions can be attempted, but if it is not a manifestation of raw power, then it would still require the use of the appropriate skill such as legerdemain to pick a pocket or crafting to pick a lock. When attempting to move an object, just like when normally attempting to move any object physically, telekinesis still requires you to grab the target first. If the character or object could oppose a standard grapple, then they can also oppose a telekinetic grapple and you must first succeed in a grapple action against the character or object before you can move them. All standard grappling rules apply in telekinetic grappling. Grabbing a non opposing target would be only an interaction. Once grabbed, you can move the target by rolling a concentration skill check against the narrator's assigned difficulty based on the target's weight (usually 1d6 for every 250 pounds) and then you can move the target a distance of up to 5 spaces plus one space per rank in this stance as long as it is still within your telekinetic range. When the action is to cause damage (such as striking the target or hurling the target at another target) the damage is equal to the skill impact roll. The type, though normally crushing damage, could be other types depending on the circumstance.
