→The Hex of Shadows
STA Cost: 4
Effect: The Hex of Shadows creates whispers in the shadows, and silhouettes around corners. The sub-ject must make random Awareness checks with an unspecified DC, always almost catching a glimpse of something or someone. The awareness checks are never a real threat, just visions.
Danger: Low
Requirement To Lift: The subject must bring a bowl of clear water, a branch from a white myrtle bush, and a bottle of ink to a clearing under a crescent moon. When the moon is at its highest the subject must pour the ink into the water, dip the branch in the mixture, and shake droplets in a circle around themselves while holding their breath.

→Unlike regular magic (spells, invoca-tions, and rituals) hexes and curses appear to draw on magic from somewhere other than the elemental planes. Some magicians and scholars have postulated that while standard magic draws energy from elementals, curses and hexes draw power from the devils that live in the vast void beyond the mortal plane.
Of course, this make hexes and curses much more dangerous than their tamer cousins. A miscast hex has a percent-age chance to affix itself to the caster rather than their target. Many mages have suffered for weeks with the effects of a hex that they failed to cast on an enemy.

→Many mages and priests are capa-ble of casting hexes just like they cast spells or invocations. Channeling magic through their body, the magic user can inflict small, less-dangerous curses on their targets with the knowledge that the hex will take hold as long as it’s cast appropriately and against a weak-willed enough target.
Unlike curses, hexes are formulaic. They are cast a certain way and can be lifted with a certain ritual. These rituals are often strange and esoteric, leading to many folk-tales and baffling many mages.

→Hexes

→Curses are one of the most vicious and inscrutable forms of magic in the Witcher world. Luckily for most people, curses are very difficult to cast. Most people do not decide to cast a curse. Curses are magical phenomena that come about when tension is high, blood is flowing, and hatred is per-meating everything. Hexes on the other hand are much simpler and much more easily tamed.

→Thorp

→Well Connected & Rookery

→Full plate & torrwr

→SP:5 body armor & a longbow with 30 ar-rows

→SP:3 body armor, a zerrikanian dagger & a hand crossbow & 10 bolts

→A Merchant can roll Warrior’s Debt to call on a fighter who owes them. Split your roll be-tween the 3 sections on the Warrior table in the sidebar. This warrior will work for you for a number of days equal to your Warrior’s Debt value and takes any reasonable order you give without asking questions.

→Warrior’s Debt (EMP)

→A Merchant who has to get rid of a dubious or stolen item can make a Fence roll at a DC determined by the GM. If they succeed, they sell the item (at full market price) to a buy-er who won’t ask any serious questions and won’t turn them in to the Guard.

→Fence (INT)

→On first entering a settlement, a Merchant can spend an hour spreading word of their arrival, then roll Well Connected at a DC based on the settlement. Success raises their reputation in that settlement by a num-ber equal to the amount you rolled over the DC divided by 2 (minimum 1), for 1d6 Weeks.

→Well Connected (WILL)

→Once per session a Merchant can roll Treasure Map at a DC set by the GM to remember the supposed location of a relic item, or a ruin that may hide something useful. This loca-tion will, of course, be out of the way or exceedingly danger-ous, requiring a quest. Reach-ing this item or ruin should require a full session.
