RANK 1 • Voices on the Other Side: It’s a strange thing but you swear your dreams seem to linger a bit after you sleep. You can still hear the faintest echo of the subject of your dreams or perhaps the lingering after image of shadowy forms. As deeply unsettling as it is, these things are harmless. • I See Me: The Dreaming pops out a doppelganger of yourself that always seems to be a few hours ahead or behind you in time. People around you might ask you about something you said or did or the repetition of an earlier action, but it wasn’t you. At least not the you you are right now. Time to track down this ‘other’ you and put a stop to these zany shenanigans. Fortunately, once you catch up to your doppelganger, an equilibrium is made and they vanish.
RANK 2 • I Bless the Rains Down in Aifaran: The constant storms are causing some strange interference with your magic. If it does not have an affinity with earth, rain, electricity or wind, it’s spotty at best. If it does, however, the results are nigh explosive.
RANK 3 • Love Potion #9: In the latter part of the month, the pink wisterias are in bloom which also happen to be the key ingredient in a popular ‘love potion’. Does it actually cause amorous feelings…? Not really, except in Kin’nal who excrete a pheromone similar to a chemical in the pink wisteria and is considered something like a sort of viagra for them. However, other components have caused interesting reactions with other species, such as intoxication lasting for several days or unusual hair growth. Someone even developed a prehensile tail. Consume at your own risk.
• Illogical Extreme: Somehow the localized physics in your immediate proximity have gone topsy turvy - down is up, left is right, inside is out and hot is cold. It’s deeply disorienting, but fortunately it only seems to happen when you’re indoors. Although opening the icebox may start a fire.
RANK 4 • Pattern Recognition Is My Jam: Through pure happenstance, you've noticed a peculiar patterning in the pearlescent barrier that protects the archipelago, and upon reporting it to anyone at the Aisling Tower, they'll become highly excited and praise your keen perceptions. It turns out you unintentionally solved something that the researchers have been working on for months, and they're happy to reward you with a nice sum of rhinn.
RANK 5 • And The Winner Is...: Having entered a raffle (either knowingly or unknowingly), your name is selected as the grand prize winner, providing you with a small, enchanted household item - so perhaps a self-sweeping broom, a tea kettle that somehow knows when you want it to boil, or linens that zoom outside under their own power to shake clean all by themselves.
