Blessings and Bones
What is this?A way of casting magic in fantasy games that ties you to a personal pantheon of Small Gods that you must entreat to gain Blessings to aid you in casting magic. That magic comes at a cost - Bones. What you’ll need. A handful of dice ranging from d6s to d12s or similarly arranged dice. Something to keep track of your gods. What’s the intent? To ground your magic in personal deities that have generally small but tangible effects on your character. To present magic as something a bit more unpredictable and costly. To allow for more freeform magical casting without set magical effects. To roll a bunch of dice and interpret what the results mean for you, your magic, and your gods.
