Skill Name	Skill Description
Bind & Summon	You may bind Arcana to your soul and summon them later. The Game Master will tell you the details of each binding process when you first encounter the Arcanum in question. You may use an action and spend 40 Mind Points to summon an Arcanum you have bound: the details of this process are explained on the next page. If you take this Skill at character creation, you begin play with one Arcanum of your choice already bound to you, chosen from the list on the next pages. Other than that, you may only obtain new Arcana through exploration and story progression. Initial bound Arcanum: Arcanum of the Grimoire: Domains: knowledge, revelations, understanding. Merge: You are able to read, write, speak and understand all languages. You treat your Insight as if it were one die size higher (up to a maximum of d12). Dismiss: Oracle. You ask the Game Master a single question. The Game Master must answer truthfully, describing the vision shown to you by the Grimoire. Once used, this dismiss effect will not be available until the next dawn. Furthermore, the same question may never be asked more than once. The Game Master has final say on which questions are too similar to be asked again.
Ritual Arcanum	You may perform Rituals of the Arcanism discipline, as long as their effects fall within the domains of one or more Arcana you have bound. Arcanism Rituals use [WLP + WLP] for the Magic Check.

Quirk

Quirk: "From a Distant World" in the Techno Fantasy and High Fantasy books:

Your presence here is an anomaly, an unexpected knot in the weave of destiny: the rules of this land sometimes fail to bind you. Do you come from a different planet, or perhaps a different time? How did you get here, and when? Do you think you still have a chance to go back, and would you do so? What terrible threat followed you?

When you participate in a conflict scene, you automatically gain 1 Fabula Point. Additionally, you can invoke a Trait to reroll dice even if you fumbled your Check (if you do so, you do not receive a Fabula Point for the fumble).

Backpack & Notes

Story:

Polly is from the very distant past when the world was "Natural Fantasy" rather than "Techno Fantasy". She was a proud fighter who decided to give up the sword and become a priestess at a well-known temple where she excelled in her studies of Arcana. But when she entered the temple inner sanctuary as part of the final rites of initiation, she saw a blinding flash of light. Suddenly the temple was gone, and she was standing on a weathered stone floor surrounded by a different temple built upon the ruins of her old one. And of course now there was this giant floating island above her. Later, she would learn she was at the temple on Matrado Island where the village chiefs meet yearly. Though there were only a handful of caretakers at the time of year she arrived. They helped her and fed her, but didn't seem too perturbed about her sudden appearance. They mentioned that their grandparents told tales of strangers appearing at the temple every few generations. So now the ex-priestess has taken up her old profession and travels around getting jobs as a bodyguard or soldier-for-hire while she tries to figure out what happened and if she can return to her time--or rather, if she should return to her own time.
