RANK 1 • Contrariwise: Using a magical ability will cause it to have the opposite effect it normally does. For example, a fire based power will manifest as ice, a healing ability may cause an injury to worsen, or trying to grow something will cause it to shrink (or visa versa). • Skeletons in the Closet: The Dreaming has an odd habit of bringing things over from other planes, but for some reason, this month, it seems to have been fishing around in graveyards and now you’re finding bones in unlikely places. Fortunately it’s just bones as they all seem to be quite old, but having a skull show up in your sock drawer is still not the best start to the day.
RANK 2 • Gravity is Optional: There is some weird planar magic taking effect, and the world has turned upside down for some. You have people walking on walls or ceilings or sometimes ground level is just wherever they want it to be. And it seems to happen at random - fortunately no one gets more than ten feet off the ground but it’s a wonder no one’s broken their neck.
RANK 3 • Study Group: You joined a study group for the Talent Tourney not knowing that it was a few levels above your skills. However, your groupmates are at least the patient sort and help you get caught up. • Drunken Fist: An apprentice in Aisling Tower has discovered the secret of turning water into wine, so like all twenty-something pranksters, they’ve changed the waterfountains around your workplace into ...vodka fountains. Work regulations being what they are, you get a few days off until they sort out this problem.
RANK 4 • Inan in the Attic: Finding that your abilities are oddly weakened, you soon discover that a mother Inan and her kits have either taken residence in your home or have been following you around and feeding off your energy. This is probably the cutest inconvenience ever.
RANK 5 • Oddities: There are some peculiar anomalies around the city that seem linked to the Death Plane. Reporting these anomalies to the authorities in Aisling Tower reveals that there are some weak points in the barrier that slipped their notice and need immediate repair. Your vigilance is well rewarded with a number of magic books that may prove quite helpful to you.
