Using Magic in Ikezu-ishi

The Ikezu-Ishi magic system is inspired by and derived from some aspects of magic and mysticism in Japanese history. Effort was made to create something that fit the flavor of the setting without lifting and reshaping historical and current belief systems in ways that are not true to form.

Magic in Ikezu-ishi requires the PC to create a Rite Card through study and discipline. These objects represent the time, focus, and energy put into the study of its use and effect and can only be used by the person who created them.

  • Anyone may use their downtime to create a Rite Card according to the rules below.

  • A Rite Card counts as a Petty item and take up no inventory slots.

  • Most effects are subtle and interpretive and may appear to work merely because the practitioner believes.

Unless stated otherwise, any remaining effect of a Rite Card ends when the PC or target rests for a watch and does not carry over.

For example, if the PC uses Heaven’s Reflection and rolled 4 Focus Dice, they’d be allowed to ask 4 questions. If they only ask two before resting for the night, the remaining two are forfeit.
