During the following round you roll a D100; the result is equal to the penalty you must operate with for 1-18 rounds. For example, if you roll 27 you operate at -27 for 1-10 rounds.

98 – 99 Enchanted Quality: You have an enchanted quality about you and are naturally proficient with spells. You start knowing one spell list up to the level equivalent to one pick by a character of your profession.

If you are a Pure- or Hybrid-spell user, you receive 2 ranks per every point invested in spell list acquisition instead. Yet, whenever you laugh, cry, are stunned, or are bleeding, you glow with a bright red hue which is akin to the light of a campfire. Even if you are invisible, your “aura” will be visible.

You have a +50 RR bonus versus spells from one realm (roll: 01-40 = Essence; 41-70 = Channeling; and 71-100 = Mentalism) and a +25 bonus when casting such spells or attempting to understand and use inscriptions and items whose power is based on that realm. You are also afflicted with a peculiar fear of dark, enclosed spaces which occasionally flares up. Whenever you enter such a situation you must roll a RR (no bonus) versus a 1st level attack. If you fail, you will panic and pass into a coma for 1-10 hours. For example, you are fine outside on a dark night, but when you enter a dark cave complex you must roll. Say you succeed, but someone lights a torch whose flame then goes out; you must roll again (watch out for strobe lights).
