Spells in Menhirs Fate
In Menhirs Fate there is four ways of casting spells:
Cantrips – These are small acts of magic (Wryd), that can only be performed by people able to wield focus (You must have the appropriate skill to do this)
Rite – These are more powerful channelings of magic (Wryd), to do this the character must spend time channelling the element During which they must perform the Wyrd Draw test.
Weaving – Weaving is the commonly used name for a large and unique working of magic requiring the use of Menhir.
Ceremony – Although these may look similar to the Rites, These are empowered by the faith of the people. For this reason they have no chance of failing and often focus on a person’s spiritual essence.
