Tale Craft
From Changling the Dreaming Wiki
Tale Craft is the Eshu Arts of telling wondrous stories, by means of providing special effects, reading the crowd, and manipulating their emotions. The Bunk for a Tale Craft cantrip is, with few exceptions, a story, whether spoken or sung. Tale Craft was developed by the Eshu for their own use, though they are willing to teach it to a number of kiths who share their passion for entertaining. Only one kith is forbidden from learning it; any Sidhe who learns Tale Craft must be punished, as will the one who taught it to him.
Cantrips
- Template:Dot Agemo's Blessing - Reads the emotions of an entire crowd at once, in order to determine how best to proceed with entertaining them.
- Template:Dot Flickering Firelight - Shapes a small chimerical illusion into something spoken of in the story, providing set pieces with which to tell the tale.
- Template:Dot Murmur in the Crowd - Instills an emotion within the crowd, increasing the appeal of the Eshu's story, as well as providing a reason for them to tell it.
- Template:Dot Sticks and Stones - Turns words into a temporary shelter, protecting the talecrafter from damage, so long as they keep telling their tale without pause.
- Template:Dot Moment of Truth - Produces a temporary chimera that appears in the form of what the user desires it to, with some limitation.
