Auxilomancy

helping others adepts to help yourself

Nicknames : helpers, metas, batteries.

You never had any magic. You had heard rumours about the Occult Underground. You hoped there was more than meets the eye. More than anything, you wanted it to be true, wanted to have the kinds of power that were whispered about. Wanted more than what you had in your mundane life.

Then something happened. You bought a dipsomancer a drink, you were roped into a pornomancer's ritual, dumped by an amoromancer, bought a bibliomancer a book for their birthday. You saw the rush in their eyes, felt the power of your act. You wanted that rush, that power.

Auxilomany is a school that uses the acts that other school's use to power their own magic.
The paradox is that you are helping other adepts only to help yourself, being selflessly selfish.

Taboo: when your actions or inaction causes another adept to break taboo. Your magic comes from others, your taboo does too. Being in close proximity is usually enough to count for inaction. Meeting someone who is breaking taboo, such as a sober dipsomancer, does not break taboo. As always DM's discretion applies.

Random Magic Domain: metamagic, you control other adepts magic by using your own. This always costs more than the original spell.

Charging:
An auxilomancer must keep track of what school of magic they have charges in.

Generate a Minor Charge: help another adept gain a minor charge.
Generate a Significant Charge: help another adept gain a Significant charge
Generate a Major Charge: be essential in helping another adept gain a major charge.

Charging tips: Auxilomancers don't have a set style. Their magic is defined by the other adepts around them. They have to be constantly aware of other adepts, and keep them from taboo, while helping them with their obsessions.

Starting Charges:
4 minor charges all from different schools.

Formula Spells:


Minor:

Try Again! (1 minor charge of any type + cost of original spell in charges of any type) OR (cost of original spell in charges of the same type as original):
When an adept uses a charge directed an auxilomancer specifically (not as part of a group or area), he can use this as a reflex action to negate the spell.

Not Me, Him (2 minor charges of any type + cost of original spell in charges of any type) OR (cost of original spell in charges of the same type as original):
Works like Try Again, but instead of negating the spell, it is redirected at a target of the auxilomancer's choice.

Have A Little Juice (4 minor charges of the same type)
Select an item or person who is not an adept, they now have 1 minor charge in that type which is discharged randomly in the next hour (DM decides how and when the spell activates).

I Helped Make These (2 minor charges of any type + cost of spell in charges of school type) OR (1 minor charge + cost of spell, all of the school type)
An auxilomancer may cast minor formula spells from any school he has enough charges in.

Here, Let Me Hold That For You (2 minor charges of any type) OR (1 charge in the school type)
Allows an auxilomancer to transfer any number of minor charges from an adept to himself. The transfer must be done willingly.

You Are Looking Tired (3 minor charges + twice cost, of any type) OR (1 minor charges + cost, all of the same type as the other adept)
Allows an auxilomancer to transfer minor charges to another adept.


Significant:

Not This Time (1 significant charge + twice cost of original spell, in any type) OR (1 significant charge + cost of original spell, all of the same type as original )
Like Try Again, negates a spell being cast, but does not have to be directed at the auxilomancer. Can be used on spells that have already been cast but have a duration.

I'll Be Taking That! (2 significant charges + twice cost of original spell, in any type) OR ( 2 significant charge + cost of original spell, all of the same type as original)
Used like Not This Time, but redirects the spell instead of negating it.

More Time To Play (3 significant + twice cost of original, of any type) OR (1 significant + cost of original, all of the same type as original) :
When an adept casts a spell with duration, use this spell to double it. Multiple applications of this spell only increase it by the initial amount, but must also pay cost of any More Time To Play spells as well.

Let Me Try This (4 significant charges of any type + cost of spell in charges of school type) OR (2 significant charges + cost of spell, all of the school type)
Same as I Helped Make These, but allowing significant formula spells.

Gimme! (4 significant charges of any type) OR (2 significant charge in the school type)
Same as Here, Let Me Hold That For You but allowing significant charges.

You Need More Power (6 significant charges + twice cost, of any type) OR (2 significant charges + cost, all of the same type as the other adept)
Same as You Are Looking Tired but allowing significant charges.


Major:

Make a mundane into a adept of the same school as the initial charge.
Copy a major charge spell from the school the initial charge is in.
