The One Power
“The One Power emanates from the True Source, which is made up of two complementary parts: saidin, the male half, and saidar, the female half. People who can wield it are called channelers.”
Basic One Power Information
The One Power is split into 5 separate powers that make up its whole. These powers are Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Spirit, representing the core elements that make up the world of the Wheel of Time universe. These can be looked at as minor schools of magic delineated as E,F,A,W,S respectively. Some channelers are more specialized in one or more of these powers. Being specialized in these means halve the cost of the weave.
The longer you channel the one power, the slower you age. This is reflected in gaining 1+Level/18 Instances of Resist Time/Ageing and Resist Disease.
You can channel spells of any spell level. These spells are resisted with XR. Spells are called weaves in the Wheel of Time universe. For the sake of ease, we will just call them spells.
Spells need a line of effect. Range = 100xLVL ft. If LVL>=5, range becomes equal to sight.
Duration of spells is concentration.
Spells of SL=N cost N cubed points from SL 0 to 9. From SL 10 to 19 cost N to the fourth power. From SL 20 to 29 cost N to the fifth power, and so on. Whenever you draw equal to or greater than 20% of your total pool of points, you make a Con check of DC=(% drawn from 0%) or you get +%drawn/20 Instances of SEL=3 Exhausted(5e), round up. If you gain more than four instances of Exhausted(5e) at one time drawing this way, Fortitude save DC= % drawn from total/2, round down or become SEL=4 Severed. This status means your ability to use the One Power is cut off. It requires a SL=6 or higher healing effect to cure. 1 Saidin and Saidar point = 5 P0P's.
Inverting a Weave: For an additional V action, spells you channel have Nondetection.
Splitting the Flows: You can cast an additional N spells at once by spending xN! (factorial, max N=LVL) points.
Tieing off a Weave: For an additional M action, you can ignore the concentration requirements of spells.
Shielding: 1S: Temporarily cut off a channeler from using the One Power by creating a mental shield between them and the source. They can try to make a Concentration check for a V action with a DC equal to 10x(sum of all levels of participating channelers) divided by 2 if they are holding saidin/saidar.
