Powers Essence channeling -- 1 Allows you to pull X essence from your pool per turn and recover it at a rate of X per minute. Invocations    Invocations have three steps: The Summoning, The Focus, and The Dismissal. These are the drawing forth of essence, shaping it into the desired effect, and then dismissing the essence. Usually, a successful Focus task (willpower+invocation) includes the a successful dismissal. However, a failed focus task will require a separate task to try to dismiss the essence without mishap. Additionally, magic takes the form of the emotions with which it is used. Using invocations chaotically or with malicious or evil intent can cause additional dismissal tasks to be required, possibly even with penalties. (Arma206 or Witch199)    Invocations known and their rote uses. Other uses of the same invocations can be created (both by the character and by the player).

May be subject to future Nerf-batting.]
