SPELLS

-Astral Travel: Rosa can project her soul into any number of astral planes and dimensions. While in an astral dimension, her mental stats are doubled, and she uses her MP value instead of HP. She can also recall her spirit back to her body if escape is needed.

-Spirit Blast - Rosa can cast a basic non-elemental damaging spell at Remarkable level.

-Aid Another: Psyche roll to assist another caster's spells. On a green or yellow roll, the spell is increased by +1CS. On a red roll, it is increased by +2CS. No change on a gray roll.

-Banishing: Against summoned or exradimensional creatures, Rosa can attempt to banish them - She rolls intuition five times, and successes needed depends on the creature's general power level or time spent on this plane, with two for something weak and five for a supremely powerful being. Most opponents will require three successes.

-Wall of Fire: Rosa can summon a wall of flame that deals 40 damage of fire per round for anybody standing in it or attempting to move through. It lasts as long as she sustains it, meaning that she cannot cast other spells while it is up. If she takes damage, the spell drops.

-Veil: Rosa can veil herself and any allies within five feet of her position. The spell hides them from sight and muffles sound, though they can still be felt. She rolls Psyche for the spell. On a roll of red, they cannot be heard or seen. On a roll of yellow, opponent must roll Intuition at -1CS to detect through sound. On green, it is a flat roll. On gray, the opponent rolls +1CS.

-Illusions: On a psyche roll, Rosa can conjure illusions. The opponent's intuition roll to see through the illusion is the same as her Veil spell.

-Magical protection: Upon summoning this shield, Rosa or an ally will be protected from 30 points of damage per attack. This also protects the user from curses or psychic assaults.

-Divination: Proper divination takes time, effort, and materials, none of which you can just pull out of a hat on-demand. When given 24 hours to work, Rosa can gain information or foretell the future with on a ritual. Roll Intuition, with red being a perfect answer, green a leadng answer, yellow a vague answer, and gray no answer at all.

-Healing: Rosa can cast healing spells at Remarkable strength.

-Arcane Flexibility (Wards and Rituals): With time and resources, Rosalinde can reproduce many kinds of magical rituals or protective wards as written. This does not mean that she has access to all magic at all times, but rather it is a catch-all for plot-based magic or specific, unique spells needed for certain situations (example: the light spell that held back soul-destroying darkness in the fake cafeteria).

_____________________________________________________________


Personality - Rosa is a cold, reserved person who values her personal privacy and has little patience for error. It is very hard to break past her icy exterior, though she is not a bad person.

History - Rosa's family has guarded the veil of reality against extraplanar incursions for generations, and she is no different. But it is not without its price - the dangers of her lifestyle have cost her husband and son, a price which has left her bitter and cold (though she was never the warmest, nicest person to begin with). She makes money as a fortune-teller, cold-reading people and giving them advice for cash, although her true calling is in her astral travels and magical wards. Her life is stark, with no margin for error, but she does her duty.


Equipment:

Eye of Argon: A special protective amulet that makes possible her increased power and protection while astrally traveling.

Extensive Library: Rosa has a truly impressive magical library.

Sanctum: Her home is warded, protected, and especially prepared for magical study and planar travel.

Ritual Elements: Aside from implements necessary for her job (example: tarot cards), she often wears a variety of protective pieces of equipment on her person - the flashy jewelry is very rarely magical, though. Rosalinde knows the importance of subtlety.
