RANK 1 • Night Myth: You get strange looks and people avoiding you in the street. When you finally manage to get one of the avoidant parties to explain, you learn that you bear a passable resemblance to one of the past Dreamfolk who became known as a Night Demon - an abuser of magical power who brought misfortune. • Guinea Pig: If you touched a magic tree, researchers at the Aisling Tower have made it explicit that they'd love to conduct some tests. While they can't force you to do anything, they can certainly be very annoying about hounding you for any possible details and/or side effects.
RANK 2 • ...And this is Jackass: The plan was to investigate some of the post-storm oddities such as the trees or drowned buildings and post the ;results' to the XaXa. Fortunately, the Sentry cottoned on to your nonsense and now you're spending the night in the clinker. It's for your own good.
RANK 3 • Deja Vu: A fluctuation in the Dreaming has you reliving a moment out of your past, repeatedly. It is, fortunately, only a moment, and the loop only lasts a few minutes tops. It's no less disconcerting.
• Friendly Foxes: Something about your abilities has attracted a small pack of wild Inan to you. The fact they feed off energy makes accomplishing any sort of magic work nigh impossible, but they’re enjoying the treat and it’s awfully cute the way the gambole around your legs.
RANK 4 • Woven Words: A kindly little old lady teaches you a special knot for the Tine Commemoration wherein you weave your very voice into the cords, that it might always reach the person you give it to. Oddly enough, it works.
RANK 5 • Storage Wars: Apparently some version of yourself has been through Aifaran before, some 25 years ago, and left quite a bit of stuff in storage. Congratulations! You are now in possession of a storage containment unit that contains quite a bit of ‘your’ stuff, including some antiques that will sell for a pretty price.
