This is a type of Divine Magic.

This document describes an "ambient" magic system tied into the natural forces of the world (referred to as Anima). The stronger the Anima of an area, the faster a user of Naturalism can absorb energies with which to work magic. The greater the concentration of nature in an area the higher the REC rating associated with it (for these purposes consider a roughly 30” radius on average as a good-sized “area”). The Naturalism REC associated with any given area is determined by the GM, but a guideline follows.

In woodlands and other verdant natural areas with abundant life the Anima will have around a 25 REC or higher, while places with a true dearth of nature such as a bustling urbanized city, deep underground, or a barren desert have 3 REC or less. Most places are in between these extremes. A few places on the planet such as unnatural wastelands created by twisted magic may lack any Anima outright and thus have 0 REC, but these areas should be very rare; Anima is a primal force and is difficult to suppress for long.

A user of Naturalism can store Anima within himself but can only recover these energies at a rate no greater than the ambient Anima REC of the area he is currently in. This is defined as a -1/4 Limitation on the REC of an END Reserve as shown in the following example:

Naturalism END Reserve: 50, 10 REC. REC Limited by Anima Ambiance (-1/4)

The example END Reserve would allow a Naturalist to store up to 50 END, and recover 10 points of END to his END Reserve each TURN in any area with REC 10 or higher, but only recover 5 points in an area with REC 5, and so forth.

Spells

Naturalism Spells are exclusively bought as part of an Elemental Control. There are two kinds of spells used in this magic system, Compacts and Rites.

• Compacts: any spell designed to be cast by an individual Naturalist.
• Rites any spell designed to be cast by a group of Naturalists working together, often on significant days such as solstices
  • Rite effects tend to be exceptionally powerful.

Edit

Rites

Rites must have the Ritual Limitation applied to them; and typically (but not always) also have Extra Time and even Window of Opportunity (1 season), and often require an OIF; Immobile Focus defined as a Stone Circle or Standing Stone.

Edit

Must Cost END

All spells, both Compacts and Rites, must cost END and all END must come from a Naturalism END Reserve.

Edit

RSR

All spells must require an EGO Based Nature Lore Power Skill Roll to be cast.

Standing Stones

Standing Stones are specially engraved obelisks made of granite or other stone that are consecrated by a special Rite which simply performs a Minor Transform: Normal Stone into a Standing Stone; as a side benefit Standing Stones always boost the Natural Magic recovery of an area by +10 per Standing Stone.

Example Standing Stone

RC	AP	Name	Effect	Leveled	Edition
-	-	Standing Stone	Change Environment 32" Radius (+1 1/4), IPE: Invisible to Sight, Invisible to Hearing (+3/4), +10 Naturalism END Reserve REC (+10 pts)	N/A	5e

Some cultures use variations on the Standing Stone concept such as "The Great Oaks" or any other variation the GM prefers, but the end result is mechanically the same.
