Elemental Discipline

Elemental Discipline (TRAINED ONLY)

Skill Type: General
Controlling Attribute: Wits of 85
Fatigue Point Cost: Varies
Action Type: Varies

     Through the use of this skill, you learn the theories, practices, movements, and principles used to control and manipulate elemental forces. You can recognize the use of elemental techniques, identify the element being manipulated, and understand the basic forms and methods used by those trained in an Elemental Discipline.

     Elemental Discipline teaches that control of an element requires more than force of will. Movement, balance, concentration, breathing, and an understanding of how an element naturally moves are all important parts of its use. Different elements require different approaches, and a character trained in this skill learns to recognize these differences.

     You may take this skill without possessing an Elemental Ability. In doing so, you gain knowledge of elemental practices and can recognize and understand elemental techniques, but you cannot manipulate an element yourself.

     Characters who possess this skill and an appropriate Elemental Ability gain access to using and learning the elemental techniques associated with that Ability.
