= Words & Gifts =

== Artifice ==
*Inherent: Heroes with the Artifice Word can create any non-magical object a normal man can carry as a round’s action, using whatever materials are to hand. While the ensuing creation may look odd, and any "foodstuﬀs" are inedible, it functions and lasts as well as a normal object of its type and usual substance. The hero’s crafting eﬀorts for a day count as 100 laborers per character level when an estimate is needed.
**Ten Thousand Tools: Your natural gifts of creation are augmented. Instead of requiring a full round to create a portable mundane object, you may do so as an On Turn action, as part of whatever action you take. This object may be a permanent creation or allowed to disappear afterwards at your discretion. Your daily labor on projects is worth 1,000 laborers per level. This gift is of no use to a Godbound who has not bound this Word.
**Transmuter: Commit Eﬀort for the scene and turn one 10 x 10 x 10 foot cube of material per hero level from one physical substance into another. Items being used or held by a creature cannot be changed. If the eﬀect is used to somehow harm targets, they take a 1d6 damage die for every two character levels of the hero, rounded up. If the substance being
created is rare or precious, Eﬀort must be committed for the day. Extremely rare and magical substances cannot be created this way, though mountains of gold can be fabricated. See the Wealth Word for limits on the use of this newfound treasure, as it is all too easy to inﬂate a region’s mundane economy into chaos.

== Night ==
*Inherent: Heroes with the Word of Night can see perfectly in darkness. They need not sleep, and their actions will never involuntarily cause the awakening of any sleepers around them.
**Knives of Night: Commit Eﬀort. You are now able to harden darkness into a weapon with a range of 200 feet. When used to attack, it does 1d10 damage and is treated as a magical weapon. Foes reduced to zero hit points can either be killed, put to sleep, or permanently blinded at your discretion.
**Excellence of Night: Kaius has a dexterity of 18.
**A Road of Shadows: Action. Commit Eﬀort for the scene. Step into one shadow and emerge from the one nearest to the desired destination, provided it’s within a mile. The gift can move you no more than ten miles total in any one hour.

== Fate ==
*Inherent: The Godbound is master of their own will. They have an invincible defense against mental inﬂuences or mind-reading, and may cause attempts at the latter to return any results they wish.
**Drawing out the Line: The Godbound is fated to survive their perils. Their base armor class becomes 3 and they cannot be surprised.
**Effort of Fate: 1 extra Effort.
**Read the Signs: Action. The Godbound can look at a person and get a general idea of their past and most likely future. A brief description of their occupation, current ambitions, and a sentence on their most likely fate in the next year is obtained, along with their maximum hit dice total or character level.
