Wisdom of the Ages
Racial Trait
Effect
Through the eons, the elves have amassed a vast collective wisdom; a deep well of knowledge and insights which many elves can access through meditation. The character is one of those who may use the know-how of previous generations to solve problems at hand.
Notes
It is not without risks; in the twilight of the world, the process spawns corruption. Wisdom of the Ages gives temporary corruption as if it was a mystical power.
Effects by Level
Novice (Level 1)
Full turn. The character gets lost in a short trance. With a passed Resolute test, it gains access to the novice level of an optional ability, Mystical Traditions, Ritualist and Mystical Power excluded. Only one ability at a time can be accessed in this way; changing to another one requires a new trance. The ability can be used for the rest of the scene, before fading from memory.
Adept (Level 2)
Active. As I, but the closer connection to the collective memory makes the trance even shorter.
Master (Level 3)
Active. As II, but the individual can dig deeper into the collective memory. With a passed Resolute test, it gains access to the adept level of an optional ability.
