Name Diamond Body
Cost 8 points
Prerequisites Greater Corporeal Spellcasting
Key Words Archetype / Magician / Magic Points
Description The character can spend 10 magic points to temporarily harden their body, declaring Diamond Body. This is not a spell or rite, but an intuitive ability arising from the character’s connection to corporeal magic.


For one minute afterwards, they take damage from various damage calls as follows:

  • Wounding: The calls Wounding and Corporeal Wounding inflict a single physical hit to the location struck, ignoring armour.
  • Smite: The calls Smite and Corporeal Smite reduce the location to zero armour hits (if any) and inflict a single physical hit to the location struck.
  • Crush: If the location struck is unarmoured or has no armour hits, the calls Crush and Corporeal Crush inflict a single physical hit.

Damage calls accompanied with the damage types Elemental, Spiritual or Artefact have their normal effect.

The number of magic points the character receives each day depends on how many skills they know that use them, see Magic Points and Work Units.
