Spellcasting 1

You gain the abilities to cast Herald spells. When you cast a spell, you can choose any spell specified by your Spellcasting feat. To cast a spell, you spend the amount of time specified in the Casting Time of the spell (usually 1 Standard Action) and spend an amount of Energy based on the Power of the effect. If you do not have enough Energy to pay for the desired Power level, you may pay some or all of the cost with Health at the rate of 5 Health for each 1 Energy needed.

As a ritual with a casting time of 1 hour, you may cast any spell you have access to. If you cast a spell in this way, you do not need to pay Energy to cast the spell.

You can use any Winter spell to counter or dispel a Summer or Fire damage effect.

Your base Spell Effect is equal to your Resolve.

You gain access to the Power 0 and Power 1 spells listed in the General section and the Winter Domain section.

Winter Affinity 1

You can passively sense Winter and Summer effects within 1 km. Effects include weather, Servitors, and magic. For Winter and Summer effects, you can sense the distance and direction of the effect. For Winter effects, you can also sense the type of effect (i.e., weather, Servitors, or magic) and the degree of the effect (i.e., the size and intensity of the weather, the number of Servitors, or the Power of the magic).

You are immune to mundane levels of cold and will not suffer from Fatigue when exposed to extreme cold.

Items in your inventory will never decay, rot, mold, or spoil through natural means.

Spellcasting 2

You gain access to the Power 2 spells listed in the General section and the Winter Domain section.

Winter Affinity 2

As an action, you can read the thoughts of people who are experiencing a Winter mood, such as depression, grief, or apathy. This effect lasts as long as you concentrate. You can only read the thoughts of one target at a time with this ability.

As a ritual with a 10-minute casting time, you enter a trance that allows you to sense Winter weather anywhere in your current Mortal Realm. While in this trance, you can scry on any location that you can sense with this ability, gaining all senses of the location as if you were physically present. While in this trance, you are considered Incapacitated and unaware of your surroundings.
