==Command Lines== Example spirit: Desert demon - Heat, Create, Anger, Increase, Wind When spirits use their power, they choose some of their qualities and string them together into an sentence in English, which we will call a command line. This sentence can include the folllowing: * nouns/verbs/adjectives that describe target, range, and volume (the qualities that go into making a target number) * any number of conjunctions, particles, pronouns, etc. that don't really convey any independent meaning on their own but just link the words together. * always begin with the pronoun "I", indicating the spirit is taking some action. * a number of quality words as follows: ** Charms - quick one off effect, can only have '''one verb quality and one noun quality'''. Treat these as spells of one. ** Power - More involved effect, '''can have up to four quality words'''. Treat these as spells of three, with +1 to ETN for each word beyond 2. ** Weaving - Much more involved effect, '''can use any number of quality words'''. Treat as spells of many. * Spirit effects cannot have a duration; they are either instant or maintained. The part of speech (noun or verb) of the quality cannot be changed in a Charm; it must be used exactly as written. However, in a Power or Weaving, a quality can be used as any part of speech as a more general concept. Example: "Strength" is a quality, a noun. However, in a Power or Weaving it can be used as an adjective ("Strong Wall"), a verb ("Strengthen Wall") or a noun ("Protect Strength"). Example: * the desert demon might choose "I create heat in the room" as a charm (two qualities). * the desert demaon might choose "I create a hot wind in this room that increases the anger of the people in the room" as a weaving. (all five qualities).
