 *'''Familiar:''' You have a level 2 creature which serves as a conduit to your patron power. The creature is intelligent and can speak with you, though no one else can understand it. It will not attack others but provides a +1 bonus to any action it can assist you with. You must perform a ritual each sunrise and commune with your familiar. Failure to do so results in an inability to use any ability which requires intellect points, though you can still spend Effort on non-Magical tasks.
 *'''Radiance Pool:''' You have an additional Pool called Radiance that contains 3 points. When spending points from any other Pool on a task involving magic, you can tak points from your Radiance Pool to spend on Effort or ability costs. If you do so, however, the flood of radiant energy overflows and triggers a Wild Magic effect (see Flaws). Your Radiance Pool refreshes when you commune with your familiar each day.

 **'''Magical Signs''': Zyindra's magic is accompanied by a tell-tale sign; for example, your body glows brightly, the sound of tortured souls shriek as you cast, feelings of a deep chill affect all creatures within 30 ft. All nearby creatures know when you are using magic, as well as the nature of the magic used.<br/>''Zyindra's magical signs are that her eyes sparkle and glow with green and gold light when casting, and the same light flows in sparkles and pulses around her and outward from her with her magic.''
 **'''Somatic Casting''': You must gesture to cast spells—a process that requires you to have at least 1 hand unoccupied. When using magic, you cannot wear armor heavier than light without incurring a chance of arcane spell failure. You may select this drawback twice. If taken a second time, you cannot wear any armor or use a shield without incurring a chance of arcane spell failure.<br/>''Zyindra has taken this drawback twice.''

		+	*'''Magic Sense:''' Can sense magic by studying an area or object for one minute.
		+	*'''Cypher Friend:''' Can carry up to 3 cyphers without negative consequences
		+	*'''Prehensile Hair:''' (2 Intellect points): You can reach out to 10 feet with your hair and use it to manipulate and lift objects. When performing feats of strength with your hair you use your Intellect Pool instead of your Might Pool. Your hair cannot be used to harm or grapple another.
		+	*'''Short Range Warp:''' (2 Intellect points): You can teleport anywhere you can see within 100 feet.
		+	*'''Resonance Field:''' (1 Intellect point): Energy patterns form around your body to block attacks. When active, defending against most attacks becomes an Intellect ability and not Might or Speed. If you get a minor or major effect the creature attacking you takes damage.
		+	*<s>'''Ward:''' You have an energy shield around you at all times and gain +1 Armor.</s>
		+	*'''Barrier:''' (3 Intellect points): You can create a solid, opaque, stationary energy barrier within 10 feet. The barrier can be up to 10 x 10 feet in size. It is level 2 (target number 6 to shatter) and lasts for 10 minutes. It can be placed anywhere it fits and can be floating. Each level of Effort you apply strengthens the barrier by one level.
		+	*'''Healing Touch:''' (1 Intellect point): You touch someone and restore 1d6 points of one stat Pool to them. This is a difficulty 2 Intellect task. Each time you attempt to heal the same creature the task increases by one step. The difficulty returns to 2 after 8 hour’s rest.
		+	*'''Alleviate:''' (3 Intellect points): You can cancel one malady (disease/poison) in one creature.
		+	*'''Familiar:''' You have a level 2 creature which serves as a conduit to your patron power. The creature is intelligent and can speak with you, though no one else can understand it. It will not attack others but provides a +1 bonus to any action it can assist you with. You must perform a ritual each sunrise and commune with your familiar. Failure to do so results in an inability to use any ability which requires intellect points, though you can still spend Effort on non-Magical tasks.

		+	* '''Quarterstaff''' (Medium Melee Weapon / 4 damage)
		+	===Flaws===
		+	*'''Inability:''' Because of the energies flowing through you other people can find you unnerving. The difficulty of any task involving charm/persuasion/deception is increased by 1.
		+	*'''Familiar Communion:''' You must commune with your familiar each morning for 1 hour or you cannot use any ability which requires the spending of Intellect pool.
		+	*'''Wild Magic:''' When you roll a 1 while performing a task involving your magical abilities or you use points from your Radiance Pool, the radiant energy overflows and strikes an object near you, transforming it into a single use cypher which immediately activates. The effect of the cypher is determined randomly. (Roll 1d20, 1d100)
		+	*'''Price of Magic:''' The use of magic is eased by rote and ritual. Choose three specific methods you must employ when using your mystical abilities. The intellect point cost for using your abilities increases by +1 for each method you are unable to employ when you use one of your abilities.
		+	**'''Focus:''' Zyindra uses a very special stave, created from a very special tree, as her focus for magical workings. To do any magical working without the stave, the difficulty of the task is increased by 3.<br/>''Zyindra's focus is a staff that is a branch from a tree from a seed planted at the same place and time as her own birth and Sabbath's, which she uses as a sympathetic link to the access of the positive material plane.''
