| Heaven's Tumbling Pebbles ( • • • , • • • • • Correspondence, • • Entropy) Dragons of the East 66 |
| It is said that Na Kua used blue pebbles
to build the vault of Heaven. The Wu-Keng reverses this gift, making
movement through space unpredictable. The shaman simply crushes a blue
stone or shatters a blue porcelain bowl, and can step between the tumbling
shards of Heaven that result. She can use this to affect herself, others
or an area where walking across the room is a mind-bending, heroic feat. System: Entropy makes spacial relationships random, with the only condition being that the end point of the journey is safe for the Wu-Keng. The Correspondence • • • version is used to teleport the Wu-Keng to a random safe location to stymie pursuit. The Correspondence • • • • version does this for a group, who may be transported to the same location together or to individual random locations. The Correspondence • • • • • version is the most spectacular; the shaman turns a location into a seething storm of shattered space where adjacent locations interact randomly. While each "pebble" of space is safe, one never knows where he might end up. Take note that the safety condition mentioned earlier is usually not invoked for anyone besides the Wu-Keng and her ngan. While this can be used to obliterate her enemies by inverting or bisecting them (lethal damage), the Wu-Keng usually chooses to utterly confound their enemies instead. Tread lightly! |
