Gramarye

 An overview of Gramarye. Deriving benefit from a Gramarye may require spending a Minor Merit to do so.

History Antarok is home to all manner of Arcana, and a wide variety of potent personal powers capable of conferring unnatural abilities to those that wield them. Gramarye is the distinction used for so-called lesser forms of Arcana, borrowed powers that might hinge upon greater things or the natural workings of the world. Each Gramarye is classified as one of three categories: Wild Glamour, Goetia, or Thaumaturgy. Wild Glamour is Saol-derived Gramarye stolen from beasts by a Maltrician, Draoidh Florabinding, or Animist Saolbinding. Goetia refers to Gramarye derived from esoteric, often spiritual sources. Memorare, and Scourges are capable of altering the soul itself while Mysticists at Grandmaster, Faustians, and Vemana might devise Rituaali which confer unnatural abilities in exchange for some form of sacrifice. Thaumaturgy Gramarye is contrived from natural phenomena, or multiple sources layered into one. Alchemists fine-tune potent Mutagens from many sources at once, while Terra might incorporate the latent Arcana found within Minerals to their bodies in order to create an Earthbind.

Obtaining Gramarye Developing a new Gramarye requires submitting a proposal to the Submissions Forum. Each should have at least a Minor or Major Ability, and a drawback if appropriate. Include how to perform the ritual if its a Rituaali or a Saolbind, and how the ability might be garnered otherwise. These might be quite simple, with just a singular Minor Ability included as part of its own development forum write-up. Progressing Gramarye Each specific Gramarye comes with benefits and possible drawbacks which progress along an XP track. Reaching 250 XP is the point where most Gramarye naturalizes with its host, negating any adverse symptoms. Not every Gramarye follows the track below. Gramarye which convey passive abilities often require a Minor Merit, occasionally even a Major Merit. If you have not already done so, expend a Minor Merit should the Gramarye ask for one to be spent. Example XP - Abilities Track 50/250 XP - Minor Ability 100/250 XP - Minor Ability 250/250 XP - Major Ability 250/250 XP + Major Merit - Ascended Ability This table is a suggestion, not a rule. There can be any number of abilities in a Gramarye, often influencing or tying into other Arcana such as Dragonbinding. Notes: On your character sheet, include Gramarye progression in your skill ledger, like so: Saolbind: Dragonbound 0/250 XP and paste a copy or summary of the abilities for that Gramarye somewhere on your character sheet. Make sure you update your appearance with any aesthetic changes so your fellow authors don't have to read your Gramarye traits to figure out what you look like.
