Freedomancy

Society's laws are for society's whores!

Anarchist, trouble makers, punks whatever they're called they're all fakers, with their store bought clothes, and market bought food.

Not that that even matters to being truly Free, but they think it does which is why they're all stupid.

You wanna step outside society? you wanna gain that power? then you gotta take responsibility see, you gotta be prepared to accept the consequences of your actions, and you gotta be good at hide and seek.

If you ain't prepared to do the time then you ain't never going to be free, but if you do the time you definatly ain't free, balance is the trick, and staying one step ahead of your hunters.

So how's it work?

Generate a Significant Charge: Do something that gets the cops wanting you, wanting you bad, murder, child molestation, bank robbery, whatever, do the big crime, the flashy crime, get seen doing it, or just leave huge clues on the crime scene, and if you have to run, you get your first charge, and the mojo can begin to flow.

(breaking out of jail or out of your capturers hands after tabooing but before you've served your punishemnt will immediatly give you one significant charge. A first, primer, significant charge Has to be gained to break the adept out of taboo and before they can gain any minors)

Generate a Minor Charge: Do any non-significant crime and get seen doing it or leave clues that you were the one who did it, it's about getting people to continue chasing you, but it's also about just plain flouting the law of the land and rising above it at the same time, showing the world that you are free. Running down the street naked in broad day light will yield just as many charges as robbing a liquor store of all it's cash so do what you have to do to survive and then do something extra just to grab attention. Can't have them forgetting you now can you?

Generate Another Significant Charge: After you've got that first sig, you gotta take it up a notch, up the ante as it were. You robbed a bank sure, but now you gotta kill, you killed, well now you gotta kill a few more times and leave your sexual fluids in your victim's eye sockets.

Of course, newbies will do a big crime and try it again, not quite the rush as before eh? doesn't make your blood sing like it used to? Oh, You don't wanna kill some innocent? Don't wanna fuck that little girl eh? Freedom means being Free to do Anything! No Morals, No Laws, nothing standing between you and doing what ever it is needs to be done, but don't worry, every big one makes it that much easier to be Free the next time, and the next time and the next time, until you're the worst, until you cannot get worse, until you can't outdo yourself every again.

They say something Special happens then, something Wonderful.

(Generate a Major Charge: Do something so aweful, so mind numbingly hugely atrocious that you can't really taboo because you're either dead/dying or they haven't killed you yet, and there is no way to get outside your pursuers jurisdiction or to wait for the statute of limitations to run out because they'll never stop looking no matter where you hide. Become a modern day eichmann in other words, and don't bother hiding your holocaust, remember, they can't chase what they don't know about)

Taboo: You taboo and are unable to gain any minor charges if you are captured by the people chasing you or if for whatever reason the authorities or who ever is after you stops chasing you.

Starting Charges: none.

Random Magick Domain: Being free, rising above things and/or surpassing them, the making, breaking and bending of laws

Blast Style: Creates "stigmata"-like wounds on the target in the form of cuts and bloody chafing from physical restraints like manacles, handcuffs or a whipping/beating. Cigarette burns and other signs of abuse have also been witnessed though not often and generally only on those who've escaped some sort of non-state based slavery like an abusive relationship.

Minor Formula Spells:

Flesh wound
Cost: 2 Minor Charges
allows the adept to shrug off any damage they receive for the tens of the magick roll in minutes, this doesn't mean they don't get injured just that they notice or are affected by pain or damage until they lose all their health, dangerous but useful when they have to do something regardless of how fucked up their body is. the result of the spell wearing off is that every bit of damage they just received hits them all at once, so add an appropriate negative modifier to any rolls made immediatly afterwards.

1 Better
Cost: 2 Minor Charges
Allows the adept to take result of the last successful roll by another character plus the highest of either of his two dice from the magick roll to perform a similar or identical (mundane) task as the other character just performed, even if the adept doesn't have a comparable skill.

Scry-B-Gone
Cost: 4 Minor Charges
Causes any attempts to track or spy on the adept to fail for the magick roll in minutes, they'll become lost in a crowd, their tracks will suddenly be covered over or hidden some how and surveillance devices or magic will be blinded while the effect lasts.

Mr. Nobody
Cost: 2 Minor Charges
Leaves the Adept free of the burden of having a distinct appearance, so people will be unable to remember your appearance as anything more than average build, average height, and will have to succeed a significant notice roll above the adept's magick roll to notice them if the adept doesn't want to be noticed. Lasts for the magick roll in minutes.

Bad Dog!
Cost: 1 minor charge
Freedomany Minor Blast

Lizardman
Cost: 4 minor charges
Allows the Adept to detach limbs painlessly and without doing any real damage to themselves (no bleeding from the stumps for instance) but freedomancy doesn't really go in for the reattachemnt of limbs, so you'll need to seek medical or medickal (epederimancers or some other, magic using, healer) attention to get it reattached afterwards. The body part can go for 24 hours without being reattached before it will start to rot and decay, the minor formula spell Flesh Wound can be cast on the limb to make it last for a further 24 hours, and freezing will keep the part viable for a week or two.

Significant Formula Spells:

Didn't I warn you what would happen?
Cost: 1 Sig Charge
Freedomancy Significant blast

Hex-B-Gone
Cost: 3 Sig Charge
Causes lasting magical effects to dissipate and stop working near the caster, effects caused by self perpetuating sources (like artifacts and unnaturals) will start to work again once the Adept leaves its presence.

Mind the Gap
Cost: 2 Sig Charges
Allows the Adept to make a person completely phobic of breaking some rule or law that the Adept dictates, no matter how minor or commonly ignored, so that any attempts by that person to break that law will result in a stress check (helplessness, unnatural or

Houdini
Cost: 1 Sig Charge
Allows the Adept to escape something that physically restrains them, whether this is handcuffs, walls, headlocks or the playful grip of a shark's razor sharp teeth on their midriff.

Loophole
Cost: 2 Sig Charges
Allows the adept to alter reality subtly so that the consequences of a single action doesn't affect them, generally the actions that can be reworked are those that rely on the adpet being stupid or foolish rather than unlucky, so an adept who walks into an ambush because he thought he could get away without getting shot might get shot, cast this spell and find that by a huge stroke of luck, he happened to be carrying a huge extra thick bible in his jacket that stopped the bullet.
There's talk of Adepts who died only to turn out to have slipped into extremely deep comas that fooled medical examinations (which they came out of a few hours or days later when whatever killed them has gone away), though if the authorities that are chasing you find out you're dead you'll taboo as they'll stop hunting for you, and thus the magick might not always work in that situation.

Bird Man
Cost: 1 Sig Charge
Allows the adept to fly through the air until they touch down again for the tens of their soul stat in hours. Note that flying isn't something that humans take naturally to, so some trickier maneuvers (like landing) will require a roll against the adept's soul stat unless they have a specific "flying" based soul skill.

I didn't do it!
Cost: 2 sig charges
Transfers one significant charge generating act from the adept to the target, so that all evidence and responsibility for the crime will point towards the target

Major Effects:
Utterly dissolve all law and order in a nation or continent, Ascend to the statosphere, Relieve the entire world's population of some malardy or sickness or problem.
