Manipulate up to 10 pounds of eligible unattended material. Move it up to 10 feet on activation and with each later action, staying within range. Concentration is required while moving it. No automatic creature damage, trained tool work, manufactured wealth, or extra actions. Loose bone only; no reshaping another creature's internal anatomy.
Ends: Concentration loss; duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
Make a magical melee Aspect attack (+5); on a hit deal 1d10 piercing damage. Standalone action: does not add to weapon attacks, Multiattack, Extra Attack, or spell-only riders. Self-grown bone used as a standalone Aspect attack.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
Shape loose bone or harmless nail-like growth. Action; touch or within 5 feet, normally no more than 1 pound. No damage, conditions, saleable material, or replacement for trained tool work.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Brace the skeleton. When you would take bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damage, provided you have a skeleton, after damage is rolled but before applying it, use your ordinary reaction and 1 Charge to reduce it by 1d4+3, minimum 1, never below 0. Apply before resistance/vulnerability; only one Aspect reduction per event.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Notice own skeletal stress. Notice relevant exposed phenomena within 5 feet. Does not automatically reveal hidden creatures, intentions, diagnoses, or facts. A stated touch requirement still applies.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Bone clicking or surface patterns. Action; simple observable signals within 30 feet. No automatic privacy or language comprehension. Explicit willing-touch thought, dream-image, or mood expressions use touch instead of remote signaling.
