The changeling calls the associated element from a distant location. The changeling must either know the location or see the source of the element he is calling and the element must physically move toward the character in as natural manner as possible — fire leaps, water splashes from a basin or falls as rain from the sky, wind blows, rock erupts from the ground…. If physical barriers prevent the element from reaching the character, it gets as close as it can, such as rain falling on the house that a changeling was in when he called water from the clouds. Once the element is present, the changeling must then use the Control Element clause if he wishes to also control the element.
Cost: 4 Glamour
Dice Pool: Wits + Wyrd ({Wits}+{Supernatural Trait})
Action: Extended (one roll per turn); the target number is five.
Catch: The changeling is calling the element solely to awe and impress viewers, perhaps as part of a performance.
Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The element moves in an erratic, perhaps dangerous, direction.
Failure: The changeling fails to call the element.
Success: The character successfully calls the element. The changeling can affect the same amount of the element he could control with the Control Element clause. The element comes toward the character or to any location within Wyrd x 10 yards of the changeling that the changeling designates. The changeling can cause fires to spread and leap in his direction, winds of speeds up to Wyrd x 10 miles per hour, to blow or cause electricity to arc from a junction box, or even down from the sky, if a lightning storm is occurring. Solid objects such as trees or lampposts that are attached to the ground or to some other object cannot break free, but can bend in the character’s direction. Unattached objects bounce or roll slowly toward the character. A changeling who controls metal could cause a vehicle made primarily of metal to roll toward them. Also, the changeling can cause stone or running water to erupt from the ground. The changeling controls the summoned element for one full scene.
Exceptional Success: No additional advantage.
