This thread is intended to get your creative juices going in the same vein as the Myth or Fact thread.

The idea is to come up with an ability or skill or spell and then try to determine what the 'call' would be in play.

For example:

What if you wanted to simulate a character that had the ability to invoke a sudden burst of speed? The way to do the call might be something like "By my Voice, Quick Paralyze by Speed." That way, the user would have a 10 second oppurtunity to run away or do anything he wanted based on his burst of super speed. One aspect of the power might be the ability to resist ("Resist Speed?") the exact same call and thus be on the same 'speed level' as the user when he does it.

This could be fun!

What other wacky things can you come up with?

If we were to simulate someone or a monster roaring and deafening or frightening the assembled:

"By My Voice, Knockdown 10" which might be resisted by Unfazeable, for example.

Or to be truly vile:

"By My Voice, Quick Stun"

Offensive Behavior: Physically execute some action that could be interpreted as inappropriate or offensive. These actions are, essentially, inflicting the disgust or distaste to the person they are being inflicted upon. This could be achieved by partaking in activities such as: flicking someone off, 'mooning' someone, a horrific pun, taking out an offensive object and pointing/waving it at a person, etc. To use this skill, call: "By my Gesture, Agony by Psi."

What about a spinning hypnotic black white spiral thing-y, written in it in special witting is "By my Gesture, Greater Paralyze by Hypnosis" if you stare at it long enough to be able to read the call you take the effect.

Nursing: Subtype of Healing, ie. Muses Blessing: Apply a healing spell to a target over time as they need it.

For Example: Sally has a ritual cloth and Jack is not currently wounded, but often is. Sally casts healing with the subtype of Nursing while her cloth is in contact with Jack. Say with all her bonuses and pool she casts Healing: Nursing for 4 points of damage ["Chantychant, Heal 4 points by Nursing and chantychant"]. That would mean that Jack could take 4 points of damage that would then regenerate when he rests (that one time). Someone couldn't receive more nursing than their maximum health, and someone couldn't receive more nursing if the nursing they have hasn't been depleted.

The easier way would be "Grant 'Heal 2 to self' by Nursing."

How about a Rallying cry? "By my voice, Restore 3 Physical Stamina to {SpecificTrait_1} by Inspiration!" requires a quick "Inspirational" phrase.

That sounds sorta like a pack howl sort of mechanic.
