Dances on The Wind

Description

The sky: The single most dangerous weapon in The Ninth World, if you know how to use it. Wind Dancer’s are able to work the winds in ways no one else can. Able to float through the air as easily as some walk, many think you’re a playful weather sprite, or other divine being… But we both know better than that.

You probably wear loose, almost transparent clothing, something that looks good when its thrown about by the wind. You’re a fan of bright colors, most commonly a mixture of light greens and blues.

Although Jacks seem most suited to being speedy little Wind Dancers, Glaives often benefit from the increased mobility offered by the sky.

Details

Connection:

Pick one other PC. This PC once asked to dance with you, and you found your abilities work as well with them as they do with you. You can use any of the abilities you can use on yourself on this PC.

Additional Equipment:

You have a fist sized oddity that displays information about the weather and wind patterns in strange symbols. Its taken you years to decipher it, but you mostly know what the symbols and numbers mean. Mostly.

Esotery Effects:

If you perform esoteries, those that would normally use force instead use wind, and those that would use energy instead use electricity. For example, force blasts from Onslaught are powerful bursts of wind, and Flash is a burst of Lightning. Another example is Barrier, which produces several small tornadoes. In this case the alteration changes the esotery so that the barrier is not solid but instead traps anything or anyone that touches it for the duration.

Minor Effect Suggestions:

The duration of the effect is doubled.

Major Effect Suggestions:

An important item on the target's person is flung away from them.

One with The Wind (6 Intellect points): You become wind for one minute. You can fit through small holes, cracks, keyholes, etc. and you can’t be affected by normal matter or energy and likewise cannot affect anything.

After 1 minute you move to the nearest space with enough room for your physical body and return to your solid form. You can end the effect early if you so choose. Action to activate.
