Empowered Caster

You have learned how to pour more energy into a spell, allowing it to inflict greater damage or bypass a foe's defences. When you Cast a Spell, you may use your Short action to Empower that Spell. Choose one of the following:

• The spell inflicts +1 damage per die of damage rolled.
• The spell gains favour on its damage roll.
• The target's Resistance to this spell is reduced by one die (to a minimum of zero dice).
• The target suffers slight on their attempt to Avoid Danger, if the spell allows them to do so.
• If the target may Shake this spell Off, they suffer slight on their attempts to do so.

If you roll a Bad Thing on this spell, you suffer the following Bad Thing:

• The spell's energy bleeds back into you, and you suffer one point of damage per level of the spell.
