A bright orb gives off light equal to a torch and lasts for about an hour, while the dimmer version is equivalent to a candle and lasts for a whole day if required.

FORCE
IP: 5 Range: 30 meters

A targeted creature may try to resist by holding onto something immobile and making a Strength Effort roll. If this fails, the target is pushed back 1 metre for every 5 IPs in the orb (creatures of larger size are pushed less far). It may be bundled (+2 IPs) for range, to target extra victims, or to push targets back further.
TUMBLE
IP: 5 Range: 0

Duration: 10 rounds
Description: This orb lifts the caji straight up at 3m per round. A small amount of lateral motion is possible (an arm’s length) and the caji can use an object such as a pole in his or her free hand for leverage and control. When the orb expires, the caji must have somewhere to stand or something to hold onto to prevent falling at a rate that is half of the normal rate. Levitation may be bundled (+2 IPs) to extend its duration or to target a nearby target.
IP: 5 Range: 10 METERS
Duration: 1 minute
Description: This orb hits and stretches around a living creature. It remains stationary, restraining the target. Larger size creatures can break free with a Strength Effort roll. It may be bundled (+2 IP) for range, and if bundled larger size creatures can't break free.
SPINNER
IP: 20 Range: 5 METERS

If it stretches around armor it deals only 1/2 crushing damage and it will not cut off a limb.
DYSHAS OF LAUNTRA: THE FLOW
The soft green isho of Launtra flows over the surface of the body.
IP: 2 Range: 0
Duration: 1 round
Description: The caster trickles isho over his or her entire body which flickers with isho energy and becomes blistering hot. The caster is protected from the heat, but if he or she touches an opponent (use the Brawling skill to determine if the blow connects) the victim sustains heat damage. This dysha may be used to kindle fires. Roll damage. It may be bundled (+1 IPs) for duration. Extra IP can be spent to modify the damage roll.
HEALER
IP: 7 Range: 0

FAINT TOUCH
IP: 1+ Range: 0 Duration: 2D6 minutes
Description: Using this dysha, the caster can flip an opponent’s isho around, causing unconsciousness. The more isho the target has, the more energy the caster must use. The caster must expend 1 IP for every 3 IPs (or fraction thereof) the target has. Multiply the target’s current IP by 5 to determine the percentage chance of them fainting. A creature who succumbs to Faint Touch will remain unconscious for 2D6 minutes. It may be bundled (at half of the IP cost) for duration.
QUIET
IP: 5 Range: 0
Duration: 1 minute
Description: By trickling isho over his or her body, the caster muffles all sounds he or she makes. Normal, relatively quiet sounds (breathing, footsteps, and the like) are completely silenced.

SENSES
IP: 20 Range: 10 meters

DYSHAS OF TRA: THE WARP MAKER
DEFLECTOR
