Elorii Kickstarter Talents: The Final Cut

This is just a way of combining the threads into one for ‘final’ versions based on what hasn’t been commented on for a while. Some of these were ‘second options’ for some players, but this way we have a nice repository of talents from which we can select from:

Soul Rune [Racial, Unique]
Your previous incarnations discovered a means in which to temporarily sacrifice their life force to grant themselves boons corresponding to their elemental type.
Requirement: Elorii Bloodline talent, Toughness (ta), may not be Ardakene, [Insert Characters Name].
Benefit: Once per day you may sacrifice one Wound to imbue a weapon, shield, or armor with a Fine Elemental Rune corresponding to your Elorii heritage (ie: Fine Fire Rune for a Kelekene). This Wound cannot be healed during this 24 hour period. At the end of 24 hours, the rune disappears and your Wound reappears. If this item has no remaining rune slots this power overrides one of your item’s active runes.
Special: If Vanquished by Wounds while this Rune is active the Rune ceases to exist, but you do not get the Wound back until the 24 hour period is complete. However, should you survive being Vanquished by Wounds, the sacrificed Wound may be healed as a normal Wound.
Special: At Tier III, the imbued rune becomes Exceptional Quality, and at Tier V the imbued rune become Legendary. Additionally, at Tier III and V you may elect instead for your imbued rune to function as a permanent rune of one level lower. For example, at Tier III you could have either an Exceptional Rune or a Fine Permanent Rune. Regardless of type, the rune still only lasts 24 hours.

Benefits: When casting any spell which summons an Elemental (such as Elemental Guardian (sp)), you may lower that spells final CTN by 2. You may not use this talent with Advanced Spells unless that spell is an Elemental Spell. If you have Spell Affinity with a spell which allows you to summon an Elemental, you may lower that spells final CTN by 3 instead of 2.
