[Endgame: rise or DROWN]
[How long have you been exploring Nessa's palace now? You've met her family, viewed her memories, learned how to fight as a witch and tried to find the source of her power and the Treasure of her palace: the Voidheart. And along the way, you've tired your best, with mixed success, to avoid the incarnation of her eldest cousin and the representation of her trauma and fear, the Nightmare of Esmau.]
[Wherever you are in the Palace right now, you feel the ground briefly shake under your feet. Little shakes here and there haven't been out of the ordinary - Esmau is trying to blow the place down to the studs, after all. But that felt different. That felt....worse.]
[Your phone beeps as you receive a message.]

Name: Void from Blood
Description: Research into the conversion of blood (or any other human matter) into Spark has been outlawed by the Order of Organized Magic Users for over a century and is considered purely the realm of mad science in the modern day. It’s not clear what situation Nessa fathomed that made her design the spell anyway, but, she at least had the wisdom to hard code into the incantation that it only works on her own blood and when cast in her own voice. Or as the case may be if you choose to cast it, yours.
Tier: Basic
Spark: Void

Effect:
Inflict 10 damage to yourself. Immediately charge one powerful spell, yours or ally’s.

1d2 Volatile Spark
Invisibility.

SPREZZATURA'S SPELLBOOK
Invoke: Void Fissure
Description: “It’s just a big tear. A rip between dimensions. Anybody else would probably break half the bones in their body if they reached into something like that, but, Lilith taught me how to take the energy without being torn by it.

3. Phantasmal Killer
Description: Tap into the nightmares of one creature and create an illusory manifestation of its deepest fears, visible only to that creature. Strike at your target’s most vulnerable weakpoint - their own mind - with psychic damage so severe, it incapacitates them physically.

MANIFEST MIND SLOTS
5. Void Bolt
Description: A generic Spark Bolt, tweaked and customized over the years by Nessa Houghton.

Tier: Basic
Spark: Void
Range: Ranged
Effect:
Inflict low damage on 1 target.
Charges an ally’s powerful spell once.
6. Magic Missile
Description: A wizard’s spell that generates three darts of magical force. Reasonably replicated to be crafted from Spark instead, one may wonder what the difference is between a Magic Missile and a Spark Bolt at that point. The answer is, this one costs more.

Inflict low damage to an opponent 3 times.

Spells:
1.
Name: Paradise Lost
Description: A dagger used to drive angels from Paradise. A Persona can manifest Void Spark into the dagger’s blade to create a facsimile of the darkness spell, Eigaon. The capability of the Void to so readily simulate Darkness raises questions about a possible connection between the Void and the Metaverse….

Inflict low damage to 1 target.
While Rebellion is active, becomes a Void spell and gains 1 Volatile Spark when coming out of Invisibility.

2.
Name: Well of Life
Description: Opens a node within the Harmony Network to release a powerful well of restorative energy. There is some debate as to whether the Harmony energy itself is doing the healing or if it’s simply coaxing the recipient’s brain to send out Spark that enhances and accelerates the body’s normal healing processes. Most Harmony academics responds to debate on the subject by asking if there’s any difference and have been labeled extremely unhelpful by their colleagues as a result.
Tier: Powerful
Spark: Harmony
Range: Ranged
Effect:
Cast three Basic Spells to charge
Heal all allies (including caster) for 2d5+10 (individual rolls)
3.
Name: Gravity Strike

You and all allies can choose one damage-inflicting spell they can currently cast and cast it on the same target.
5.
Name: Quick Strike
Description: A lightning-fast strike delivered best as a follow-up. The quick reflexes and conservation of energy necessary to employ this technique effectively are honed by training under increased gravity. Gravity manipulation is a polarizing aspect of Void magic and intentionally experiencing increased gravity for physical training is considered reckless at best and suicidal at worst by many experts, Void-trained or otherwise. Those who still do it must believe the results speak for themselves.
Tier: Basic
Spark: Void

Inflicts low damage to one target.
Can be used as a free action once per turn if used after a melee.
Shard:
