Editing Nightcats:Sorcery (section)

== Recovering Secret Fire ==

The Secret Fire returns slowly, and never without rhythm.

* Secret Fire spent on '''Cantrips''' returns at both '''noon and midnight'''
* Secret Fire spent on '''First Magnitude''' workings returns at either '''noon or midnight'''; each sorcerer chooses one of these and keeps it for life
* Secret Fire spent on '''Second''' and '''Third Magnitude''' workings returns at a rate of '''4 points per lunar month''', on the phase to which the sorcerer has bound themselves

Whenever a sorcerer performs a '''Third Magnitude''' working, they permanently lose '''1 point of Secret Fire'''. At the GM’s discretion, this loss may instead reduce an appropriate Attribute, representing visible aging, bodily distortion, spiritual exhaustion, or some other lasting diminishment.
