Enchantment (Path) Modifications
Basic Enchantment works just like in the book.
Intermediate, Advanced and Master: Intermediate amulets last a year, Advanced for 2 years, and Master is 3 years. Each amulet may be activated once per temporary willpower trait spent during the last hour of creation. Activating an amulet takes an action, after wich the amulet remains activated for the scene (or one hour). Once an amulet's total number of activations is used up, it crumbles to dust and a new amulet must be made.
An index card MUST be made for each amulet. The Main Storyteller or the Hedge Mage Storyteller must sign this card. If you do not have the card, you do not have the amulet.
After each activation, that activation must be marked off the card by a storyteller or narrator. The date of the amulet's creation must be noted on the card.
Spellcasting
The static mental test to cast a spell is against 7 traits, unless circumstances would increase or decrease the difficulty.
