Merfolk Arts
Aphrodisia: One of the Arts of the merfolk, Aphrodisia is able to create desire for someone or something. Some satyrs have been taught the secrets of this Art, and any Kithain may learn it if they have a willing teacher. Aphrodisia is detailed in World of Darkness: Blood-Dimmed Tides.
*Fancy. This cantrip makes a subject noticeable in a positive way. It's useful to make a good first impression, or to help people make the choices you want them to make.
**Yearn. Creates a sudden burst of desire for something or someone, as long as the subject is familiar with the intended object of their desire.
***Covet. A more powerful version of "Yearn", the desire is stronger and lasts for a day's time.
****Crave. The desire at this level is no longer rational, and the subject will do anything short of jeopardizing themself or their closest friends to be near the object of their affection.
*****Need. At this level, the victim will willingly sacrfice themselves or anyone else to be near their intended object of desire.
Kryos: Another merfolk Art, Kryos is used to generate ice and cold. Many trolls wish to learn the secrets of this Art, and any Kithain may learn it if they find an instructor willing to teach them. Kryos is detailed in World of Darkness: Blood-Dimmed Tides.
*Cold Shock. Causes a subject to become suddenly bitterly cold. It can be quite disorienting and uncomfortable.
**Gelid Rime. Covers a target in a thin crust of ice, usually more useful in creating sudden ice slides, or slowing someone down than in actually restraining them.
***Frost Facsimile. This cantrip enables the caster to duplicate virtually any item with ice. The duplicate will be ice though, and have the properties of ice rather than what they are modeled after.
****Crystal Prison. This cantrip encases a victim in a block of ice. If their head is covered, they may suffocate.
*****Coldheart. This cantrip can freeze someone from the inside out. It can be used to place someone in a state of suspended animation.
Skycraft: This merfolk Art deals with weather control. Merfolk may naturally only use it on the surface, not underwater. Other Kithain may learn Skycraft if they have a willing teacher. Skycraft is detailed in World of Darkness: Blood-Dimmed Tides.
*Thunderclap. This cantrip allows the caster to create a sudden burst of thunder and flash of lightning. It is most often used to intimidate, though there are some other uses.
**Compass Winds. The caster creates a strong wind and directs it at a certain target.
***Dark Sky. The caster may darken the sky with stormclouds, and create a fog to obscure a given target.
****Stormcraft. The changeling is able to summon and control a storm. Many such storms actually grow out of a caster's control.
*****Call Lightning. The caster calls lightning from the sky, channels it through their body and directs it at a target causing terrible damage.
