All mages have access to the skills below, but Invokers have special uses and feats available to them.

Fire Magic

Uses

• Intensify Flames: Recharge 33%, swift, medium range; you target one discrete fire, up to huge in size, including an ongoing fire effect from one of your spells. You increase the ongoing damage by 50%. Natural fires increase in size by one category.
• Consume Flames: Recharge 33%, swift, medium range; you consume one discrete fire, up to huge in size, including an ongoing fire effect from one of your spells. You regain XYZ Energy.

Rank 1 Feats

• Immolate: At-will, standard, medium range; you cause target object or creature to burst into flames, inflicting XYZ damage instantly, plus the same ongoing for 3 rounds. If target is naturally flammable, replace 3 round duration with normal expected duration of natural fire.
• Combustion: Recharge 33%, swift, medium range; you cause an ongoing fire effect to instantly burn for the remainder of its duration, or up to 5 rounds, inflicting all the damage it would have over that duration. If this reduces the duration to 0, the fire goes out.

Rank 2 Feats

• Conflagration: Recharge 33%, swift, medium range; spreads an ongoing fire effect to targets within 3 squares.
• Ignition: All powers you cast using Fire Magic that inflict fire damage gain the Ongoing Damage extra for free.

Water Magic

Earth Magic

Air Magic

Uses

• Maelstrom: At-will, free, sustain free, emanation 3; winds swirl around you. Dark clouds cover the area, and the air is thick with ozone and electric potential.
  • You gain Resist 50% to Air Magic effects, including all forms of lightning damage.
  • All Air Magic effects you cast gain one stack of Empower automatically.
  • Each time you sustain this power, the radius increases by 1 square, and the Empower effect adds an additional stack. Max two extra stacks.
  • If you use Wild Growth or Rimefire, Maelstrom ends immediately.

Rank 1 Feats

• Static Charge: Whenever you inflict lightning damage with Air Magic, you cause the subject to gain 1 stack of Static Charge per skill point. Static Charge is a magic debuff, which lasts 3 rounds, or until triggered; it is triggered by movement (specifically while adjacent to the ground or a solid surface). Each square of movement causes the subject to suffer 1d6 lightning damage (plus normal modifiers), expending one stack of Static Charge.
• Wind Mastery: While using Maelstrom, you control the winds in the area. You may cause them to blow in a particular linear direction, or to blow radially inward or outward (centered on you). Any creature moving against the wind suffers -50% movement rate, and creatures moving with it gain +50%. Physical missile weapons (except siege weapons) suffer -50% damage if flying against the wind, and gain +50% damage if flying with it. Your allies are immune to the harmful effects listed (but not the beneficial ones).

Rank 2 Feats

• Levitation: While using Maelstrom, you may direct winds to cause you to levitate. You gain a fly speed equal to your normal ground movement rate (if using linear winds, you can magnify that rate); climbing costs 2 squares of movement (falling costs 0.5). Your maximum altitude is equal to 3 squares per rank of Air Magic.
  • Special: taking this feat increases the maximum number of Maelstrom stacks by 1.
• Static Cling: Whenever two subjects are affected by your Static Charge, they are attracted to one another (the effect has a radius of 1 square). Moving away from an attracted target requires a Strength check. Moving past an attracted target causes that target to be pulled along in tandem unless it passes a Strength check; if the creature is moving itself, attached creatures cause each subsequent square of movement to cost double; if you are moving the creature with Air Magic, there is no penalty to distance moved. While targets are attached, they suffer -1 to Dodge per total number of attached targets. Furthermore, their total number of stacks of Static Charge are merged into a single pool, and each time their movement triggers it, it expends only one charge, affecting everyone. Should anyone leave, all charges are split evenly among all targets (including the one that just left).
  • Note: you can reverse the polarity of Static Cling for any given Air Magic spell you cast. Repulsed targets cannot enter a 1 square radius of each other without passing a Strength check (upon entering, and on turn start each round). Forced movement of one repulsed target into another causes a fully elastic collision (see old-school Lightning Bolt for reflection rules).
  • Note: polarity is either "repulsive" or "attractive" for any given target. Two "repulsives" will repulse each other, and two "attractives" will attract each other. Two of opposite polarity will have no effect. (I know, this is in total disregard of Physics. It's magic, what do you want?)

Rank 3 Feats

• Greater Wind Mastery: While using Maelstrom, you may, as a free action once per round, cause any or all subjects within the radius to slide horizontally 1 square per stack. Also, the bonus/penalty to movement changes to 100% in either direction; missile attacks are improved by +100% or decreased by 90%, depending on the situation.
  • Special: taking this feat increases the maximum number of Maelstrom stacks by 1.

Rank 4 Feats

• Greater Levitation: While using Maelstrom, you may impart your fly speed on others; they may use it only while within the area. Also, your fly speed (but not theirs) increases by +100%.
  • Special: taking this feat increases the maximum number of Maelstrom stacks by 1.

Air Magic

• Ball Lightning: (2 BP, MR 2) Encounter, short range, std; you create a ball of lightning, which can fly up to 10 squares/rd, and, once/rd, inflicting 2d6 lightning damage to subjects within 1 square. In a given round, instead of moving, it may stay in place, inflicting twice the lightning damage it inflicted last round to a single target within 1 square. Lasts 3 rounds.
