This page is a '''Lore Sheet''' for '''The Mystic Sage''', a set of oriental '''Magics''' that are strange and wonderful, but with a tendency to warp its practitioners towards eccentricity and hubris. These spells are mostly about special effects and additional tactical options, especially with regards to mobility. | This page is a '''Lore Sheet''' for '''The Mystic Sage''', a set of oriental '''Magics''' that are strange and wonderful, but with a tendency to warp its practitioners towards eccentricity and hubris.

'''Effect:''' As an action, you summon a flying cloud, which you can then ride (either standing or sitting). The cloud flies at the same speed as a galloping horse, and you can perform most kung fu secrets as normal from the back of it as if you were stood on solid ground. If you are knocked off the cloud, it dissipates. Note that as with most spells, you gain no special numerical combat advantage from being to fly about - its more about style than anything else, though obviously there's utility in being able to fly out of the reach of less mobile opponents. | '''Effect:''' As an action, you summon a flying cloud, which you can then ride (either standing or sitting).

| + | '''Effect:''' As an action, the sage can make his eyebrows, beard and hair suddenly extend and wrap itself around an enemy. This is a physical attack, but it deals no damage, and if successful the target is entangled and cannot move from the spot until the sage releases him, or someone else cuts away or burns the hair (which takes an action but no roll), or the entangled target uses a kung fu secret of some sort that breaks immobility, or teleports, or whatever. An entangled target can still act and fight as normal, but cannot move fromt he spot where he has been rooted. | ||
