You spend a session of time producing a painting. You may either continue working on an existing painting or create a new one.
A period of consecutive time spent working on a painting is called a session. You may keep a session going for as long as you’d like, so long as your environment or status doesn’t impede your ability to paint.
After each full hour in a session, roll your Proficiency die. Add the result of this roll to the painting’s value.
For every consecutive hour in a session, add another Proficiency die to the roll.
(2 dice after 2 hrs, 3 dice after 3 hrs, etc.)
When you start a new painting, you add it to your inventory as a common standard item weighing 3 units and worth 1 fortune.

You release a spray of vibrant mist, coating a suitable flat surface within reach with a paint splatter in a color of your choice.
A splatter covers a 1-meter-radius space and lasts for up to 1 minute before evaporating. It is easily washed away with water.
While two splatters of a matching color exist at one time, they become linked and a gateway is created.
Once a gateway is established, the two splatters become see-through, allowing anyone to look into one splatter to view the area around its linked splatter, like a portal. While the gateway remains intact, any character or object that enters one splatter will exit its counterpart.

You hastily draw from memory, hoping your memory serves you right.
Out of character, spend up to 10 seconds drawing something; then show it to the GM and ask them to identify what you drew in one word or name. If you write any legible words, the action fails with no effect.
Based on what your GM interpreted your drawing to depict, you experience one of the following effects:
- PORTRAIT. If your drawing was interpreted to be a some kind of living being, you sense the path toward that living being’s nearest location within range.
- LANDSCAPE. If your drawing was interpreted to be some kind of environment, you sense the path toward the nearest location most similar to it.
- STILL LIFE. If your drawing was interpreted to be some kind of item, you sense the path toward that item’s nearest location.
- ABSTRACTION. If your drawing doesn’t fall into any of the other categories, you become more attuned to your surroundings, increasing your Passive Insight and Passive Perception by 2.
The effects persist while you are Concentrating (up to 1 hour).

You modify a willing target you Touch with illusory cosmetic changes, disguising its appearance.
You can bestow the target with as many physical alterations as you like, but you cannot change the orientation of body parts or character size. The effect is purely illusory, and physical inspection would quickly expose the disguise.
To discern the disguise for what it is, a character must spend 1 AP as an action to inspect your target’s appearance and succeed on a KNO SAVE
While Concentrating (up to 1 hour), you may perform this action again to disguise additional targets. The disguises last until you drop Concentration.

You bribe a target within range, placing it under a spell and asking it to name its price for loyalty. If it fails a WIL SAVE, it must answer truthfully.
It may name an abstract concept as a price, like ownership of your soul or the life of a beloved friend. The interpretation and results of paying the price are determined by the GM.
If you cannot afford its price or the target doesn’t understand you, this action automatically fails.
If you are willing to pay its asking price, the price is added as a cost to perform this action and the target becomes considered a willing target to you and your allies for the next 30 seconds.
After the effects expire, ongoing effects that require a willing target end if the target is unwilling, and it gets to keep the added cost you spent on this action.
