Select from dozens of astra spells from four distinct categories to suit your unique character and playstyle.
Push the limits of magic by boosting your spells with powerful add-on effects.
Experience a unique risk/reward magic system, where powerful spells come at great costs.
Mancers and other magic-wielding beings pull astra from the universe around them to conjure magic. This causes an effect known as astra fade, often resulting in detrimental mental and physical effects, increasing in danger the more astra fade they accrue. Skilled mancers learn to offset these effects to an extent – but there is always danger in manipulating the energies of the void.
The Harbinger RPG features a unique risk/reward magic system, wherein spells can be "boosted" with powerful add-on effects to increase their utility or effectiveness. Doing so increases the caster's astra fade, however, often resulting in unforeseen and sometimes detrimental effects.
