A richly woven rug
Fear of the Flame
Tags: magical
About 4 feet by 7 feet unfurled, woven with stylized patterns of fire and flame. Flickering Maker-runes can be seen in the weaving, always out of focus but hinting at power.
To unlock it, you must first:
- be marked by fire, losing yourself to the panic or pain of burning;
- then spend weeks in meditation upon the rug and studying the now-clear runes;
- allow yourself to be burned by a terrible flame, refusing to cry out and mastering your fear.
Fear of the Flame
Heat: ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
When you spend an hour or so on the rug, meditating on the fear of fire that all natural things possess, you hold Terror and mark 1 Heat.
Terror: When you unleash the Terror you hold, all who see you fear you as they would fear the flame primeval, until you dismiss the effect.
When you dismiss the effect, roll 1d6. If the roll is less than your Heat, clear all your Heat and painfully manifest a permanent sign of your connection to the flames: a blistered scar, reddish skin, glowing eyes, a sulfurous smell, etc.
When a season passes without you unleashing Terror, reduce your Heat by 1.
