Misscasting is a mechanic. It is the loss of control of the astral winds and the resulting magical backlash.
Misscasting results in a number of outcomes detailed in the Miscast Table below.
When a Character Miscasts they must roll a D20. The Result of the D20 is your Total. Compare this Total to the Miscast Table below. You now resolve the effect of the Miscast equal to the Total.
| Total | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Feedback | You lose all remaining Mana and then suffer [Health Loss] equal to the Mana lost in this way. |
| 2-5 | Unstable Flow | You suffer D6 [Mana Loss] then suffer [Health Loss] equal to the Mana lost in this way. |
| 6-10 | Temporarily Severed | You are unable to spend Mana until the start of your next Turn. |
| 11-15 | Astral Turbulence | You suffer D4 Stress Damage. |
| 16-19 | Arcane Hiccup | You restore 1 Mana. |
