Description: Utilizing the energies from personal emotions & converting them to magical energy. Heartcasting is basic heart magic, using emotion to fuel spells. A heartcaster draws on deeply held emotions or fleeting responses and turns them into fuel for mana, which they unleash with care, narrating an effect based on the power within them.

Casting: How it works!

Determine what effect you wish to create. Tell the GM in great detail.

Decide which emotion you will use and what strength that emotion is at the time. Add bonuses if the emotion gives one, or penalties if it gives one. Roll that vs. the difficulty the GM determines.

Effect is determined by success rate.
