| Gatha ( • • Mind, • • Prime) Dragons of the East 51 |
| This rote allows Akashic poets to weave
emotion into every character of their work. Often used as a teaching tool
or a master's final testament, a truly enlightened gatha is said to
trigger a burst of understanding in those who read it. More frivolous are
the use of gatha to emotionally unbalance an enemy. The Li-Hai are said to
practice a version of this using spray-painted graffiti, but the rumor has
yet to be confirmed. System: Mind creates the impression, while Prime fuels the emotional energy over time. A gatha typically lasts as long as the Storyteller feels it should, although gatha meant to emotionally unbalance an enemy typically work on one person at two successes, and one more for each success thereafter. |
