Supportive Powers

Supportive Powers are abilities that focus on helping characters other than the user. Rarely do these abilities cause harm, but in the case that a character does not wish for the effect, it may be opposed by a Resistance roll versus the user’s Magic roll. In order to gain Supportive Powers, a character needs two points per ability in Resistance.
