Alertness Boon

“But still no one did it,” Grim guessed. “Because then and even now, there’s no telling precisely when Lady Rosemary was cursed. Even an expert would struggle to say whether she was re-cursed last night or last week. Put too little power into the Alertness Boon and it has no effect. Put too much into it and it’ll give her a heart-attack.”


- Chapter 11, Spirit Rider: The Royal Problem

Incantation: Glemoorio Adonn

Magical Art: Marathurgy

Appearance: Shower of yellow sparks cascades over the target

Effect: Banishes fatigue, the target will not feel weary or tired as long as the boon is in effect

Notes:

  • In the proper circumstances, can counter a Slumbering Curse.
  • Take great caution when being cast upon an elderly subject / anyone with a heart-condition as the Alertness Boon could  cause them irreparable harm.

Flexibility Boon

“Oooh,” the Reaper said, unfazed, “Acheron’s given you a few ‘gifts’ hasn’t he?”

          In a flash, the Reaper detached a vial of clear liquid from its odd tool belt, flicked off the stopper, and threw it over the jaserta. Hissing, the beast recoiled, the unknown liquid running down its front, changing colours as it trickled over the jaserta’s scales.

          Sam had no idea what was happening, but the Reaper clearly understood something from the coloured water as it said: “Hardening Boon, Strengthening Boon, Invigorating Boon, Flexibility Boon, Perception Boon – that’s quite a set of perks you’ve got there.”

Hardening Boon

“Oooh,” the Reaper said, unfazed, “Acheron’s given you a few ‘gifts’ hasn’t he?”

          In a flash, the Reaper detached a vial of clear liquid from its odd tool belt, flicked off the stopper, and threw it over the jaserta. Hissing, the beast recoiled, the unknown liquid running down its front, changing colours as it trickled over the jaserta’s scales.

          Sam had no idea what was happening, but the Reaper clearly understood something from the coloured water as it said: “Hardening Boon, Strengthening Boon, Invigorating Boon, Flexibility Boon, Perception Boon – that’s quite a set of perks you’ve got there.”

Stability Boon

But the solidly building blizzard wouldn’t let up, snowflakes whistling by in waves of whiteness. One wave came so suddenly Sam thought Grim’s Stability Boon would surely fail. He braced himself against the wall, the magic thankfully keeping him still and steady.
