The winds of the world can rage, and they can be gentle benevolent forces. A Scion with this Boon is watched over by the winds, reaching out and catching them, or filling their lungs. Once per Session, a Scion may activate this Boon to gain +6 Successes to resist falling damage, or suffocation.

WEATHER WITCH ●

Cost: None

Dice Pool: Sky + Academics

Type: Reflexive

Even in modern times, predicting the weather is not an entirely accurate science. In the past, it was even less accurate, and more important for the survival of the agrarian civilizations. With this Boon, a Scion may passively sense the difference between natural, and supernatural weather, and the Scion may activate it to learn what the weather will be in the next month if not influenced by Supernatural effects.

NOTUS’ BREATH ●●

Cost: None

Dice Pool: Sky + Athletics

Type: Reflexive

The winds are at the command of the Gods and Goddesses of the sky, capable of great feats. An early example of this power is shown by Scions walking a similar path, allowing them to summon up a great blast of air.

If the Scion summons forth the great blast of air under themselves, they may multiply their jumping distance by their Sky Rank, sending themselves soaring into the sky, though this is not true flight, and they will eventually begin to fall, which may prove dangerous.

If the Scion summons forth the great blast of air against another being, they may send them flying away from the Scion horizontally. The Scion must overcome their Dodge DV with this Boon to gain an effect (Block DV does not help), with every Threshold Success gained sending them five yards back.

The world of green and growing things are entirely at the whim of the skies, rainfall allowing kingdoms to starve, or live in plenty. A Scion with this Boon may chose to bless an area, causing any day’s worth of rainfall in the area to double the rate of growth of all plant life, capping at the Scion’s Fertility Rank.

Using this Boon in an area that has no rainfall, such as the middle of the Sahara, or on Antarctica, will not cause rainfall, just nurture the land when there is rainfall.

When a Scion has Offerings of Chant and Chime (Sky 5), this Boon generates a Rainfall point.

GUSTING WINDS ●●

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Reflexive

The most skilled marksmen of humanity in the modern era must keep track of the wind, technology still not able to remove the difficulty of gusts. In earlier eras, this was even more present in the battlefields, arrows, spears, and the like able to be sent spinning when picked up by a gust.

A Scion with this Boon may control winds such as these, always surrounded by winds, either benevolent, or not. These winds cause a +2 dice bonus to all Marksmanship and Thrown rolls in the Scene, or a -2 dice penalty to all Marksmanship and Thrown rolls in the Scene. A Scion with this Boon may alternate between these with a Misc 5-tick action.

HEAVEN’S EYES ●●●

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Reflexive

The Deities of the sky look down upon the world below them, so small and far from the vault. A Scion with this Boon is slowly becoming more and more like these beings, and is able to shift the seat of their senses high above them in the sky as a miscellaneous action.

WORDS ON THE WIND ●●●

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Reflexive

The winds are at the beck and call of a Scion, not quite their undisputed master, but able to request them to send a message. By activating this Boon, the Scion can send a message to another being on the same plane that they have met. The message is up to the Scion, along with the volume of it, able to whisper so that only the target can hear (unless there is Epic Perception present) or able to shout, so that all near the target hear.

Social powers, or other powers caused by verbal effects, are not transmitted through this Boon without an additional power allowing their powers to be transmitted somehow.

Sky Four

CALL WEATHER ●●●●

Cost: None

Dice Pool: Sky + Command

Type: Reflexive

The weather is at the bid and call of a Demigod, through chant, ritual, or commanding gesture. With this Boon, the Scion may generate weather in the Scene they are present in, summoning forth rains, fog, or whipping winds. The exact effects of this Boon is left vague to allow players adapt this power to many situations, though they may never inflict damage with this power, not able to muster anything akin to natural disasters.

A Scion with this Boon may use this Boon to dismiss the weather from an area as well, leaving a clear sky in the area at a whim. If the weather was created through supernatural effects, the activation roll of this Boon must overcome the activation roll of the power which created the weather.

Additionally, a Scion can use this Boon to reshape the weather, creating towering figures of fog, writing in the sky with clouds, or exempting very specific areas from being soaked by rainclouds.

If this Boon is used to summon forth rain in some way, and the Scion possesses Offerings of Chant and Chime, they gain a Rainfall point.

If the activation role of the Boon overcomes the highest role gained on a Storm Boon so far in the Scene, the dice from A Storm Gathers (Storms 1), are reset as the buildup is interrupted.

Additionally, this rainbow called forth inspires all those who see it, save for beings who have the Storms Purview. All beings without the Storm Purview may regain their entire Willpower pool.

While he and Apollo were throwing a discus, in a fit of jealous rage, Zephyrus caught the discus in his winds, and sent it back to strike the youth in the head, slaying him to Apollo’s great sorrow. A Demigod with this Boon may do something similar, reflexively redirecting a ranged attack if their activation role overcomes the attack roll, the new target taking the full brunt of the blow.

Dice Pool: Sky + Command

Type: Reflexive

The sky is your realm, your home. Every cloud, every breeze, and every lashing rain are your servants.

By activating this Boon, the Scion must designate a target who can only resist with their Block DV, as you can’t escape the winds of the world. If the user is Successful in overcoming the target’s Block DV, they can smash their target against the ground, the attack dealing Lethal damage.

An area blessed by this Boon can triple their agricultural output, this effect stacking with previous Boons in this Purview, and any other Boon, such as in Fertility, that will increase the agricultural power of a land. This blessing will last forever, or until the Deity revokes it.

Using this Boon generates a Rainfall point, and the Scion generates a new rainfall point at the beginning of each story. This benefit may only be gained from one of the user’s Blessed Lands.

Furthermore, while inside their Blessed Lands, a Scion may double their Rainfall points generated from any other Boon in this Purview.

THE SKY ITSELF ●●●●● ●●●●

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Reflexive

The sky as a distinct individual, from Egypt, to Greece, to the Mongols, with its own thoughts, feelings, and rage is an element of Fate’s tale a Scion can take unto themselves with this Boon.

Effectively immortal short of others wielding Avatars or Ultimates, a Scion in this state may only use Sky Boons, but may use them at any point below them (roughly the area from horizon to horizon centered where the Scion used this Boon).

Sky Ten

OVERCAST ●●●●● ●●●●●

Cost: None

Dice Pool: Sky + Command

Type: Reflexive

The Gods and Goddesses of the sky reign in a kingdom of many monarchs. The stars, the moon, and the sun all walk through the sky, all great powers of the cosmos. But, a Deity who rules over the Sky is able to conceal them, summoning forth great clouds over the area to leave the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars so out of sight that their might may not be summoned forth in the world below.

When a Deity uses this Power, they may immediately ban all uses of Sun, Moon, and Stars from one mile per Rank of Sky the user possesses. Any attempt to wield the Boons from these three Purviews facing great resistance from the Sky God or Goddess who has left their glory hidden away, and unseen from the world below, needing to overcome the activation roll of this Boon to use any Boon from those Purviews with the activation role of their desired Boons.

This Boon lasts for the Scene, banning the world from the light of the celestial world for a short time.

VAYU’S THREAT ●●●●● ●●●●●

Cost: None

Dice Pool: None

Type: Reflexive

Once, the great Yazata of the Zoroastrians argued over which of their blessings to humanity was the most important, each withholding their gifts from a mortal to attempt to show the others how fundamental their gift was, and more important than the others.

When it reached time for Vayu to show his might, the mortal became unable to live as the God stole his breath, which the others decided his blessing was the most important. Vayu too then showed the other Deities that his blessing was not key to the mortals, but them as well as he stole all of their breath, returning it a moment after as his point had been made.

A Scion with this Boon may do just that, and steal away another’s breath, leaving even the most hardy of Deities struggling on the floor, dying as the breath of life was stolen away.

When activated, this Boon effectively functions as a single target Hazard, much like a poison, eave that it is just the target suffocating but to an extreme, and magical extent.
