Editing Peril:RPG/Powers (section)

=== Wizardry and Real Powers ===

Wizardry is extremely flexible, but flexibility comes at the cost of reliability. When Wizardry imitates another Power, the action is '''one difficulty step harder''' than it would be for a character who actually possesses that Power.

In an opposed action, the Wizardry user effectively suffers '''-2''' on the roll instead.

Wizardry provides breadth. A real Power provides mastery. A wizard can throw a magical Blast, but a character whose actual Power is '''Blast''' does it more easily and reliably. A wizard can conjure magical Flight, but a character with '''Flight''' does not have to cast a spell just to fly across the street. A wizard can create Armor, but the character with actual '''Armor''' is already armored when the building falls on them.
