Princess: The Hopeful Wiki
Advertisement

Water is at once the most gentle and most destructive element in our world. A princess who studies this charm brings that paradoxical power to bear, animating the normally languid fluid with her magic and will. Practitioners can make great use of water's malleability to craft deadly attacks and wondrous constructs.

Aquatic Artistry (O)[]

You are able to shape or move water as you desire.

Cost: 1 Magic

Dice Pool: Wits + Crafts, Expression, or Larceny (depending on the situation) + Inner Light

Action: Full Round

Effect: You are able to shape one quart per success as you desire or exert one pound of pressure on pipes, containers, or objects afloat. This effect lasts as long as you concentrate on the specific task. Given water's fluid nature, it can most easily adopt a desired shape; if you have an intended shape in mind, use the successes as the appropriate Craft or Expression check with two automatic successes.

Path of Water (OO)[]

You are able to manipulate the water around you so you may move as you desire.

Cost: 1 Magic

Dice Pool: Resolve + Occult + Inner Light

Action: Standard

Effect: You are able to walk across and move through water at your normal speed. While standing on or in water, you are considered to be standing on solid ground. This ability does not remove your need to breathe. This effect lasts one round per success.

Aquatic Whip (OOO)[]

You shape water with force and skill, crafting crude forms and blunt tools to strike with.

Cost: 2 Magic

Dice Pool: Wits + Crafts + Inner Light

Action: Full round

Effect: If a person is grappled within a body of water larger than themselves, they begin to drown. If using this power to strike someone, each success is one point of bashing damage. If using this power to craft a shield, each success is one point of ablative armor. You may create shields using this power as reactive action. Any construct created using this power dissolves after one round.

Aquatic Blade (OOOO)[]

You shape water into a fine and deadly edge.

Cost: 3 Magic

Dice Pool: Wits + Crafts + Inner Light

Action: Full round

Effect: The same as Aquatic Whip. However, attacks made now deal lethal damage.

Flood (OOOOO)[]

You flood bodies of water, flooding all in the flooded area.

Cost: 3 Magic, 1 Willpower

Dice Pool: Resolve + Occult + Inner Light

Action: Extended ritual

Effect: When you gain 50 successes, the closest body of water floods onto dry land as a titanic flood. This flood may be used to flood ships, to flood cities, and to flood forests. Alternatively, it may also be used to reverse a flood, although it cannot reverse the damage caused by the flood.
