Here's where we talk about disciplines.

Disciplines

All specials are divided into a variety of disciplines, specific applications of power. For each particular type of special (magic, divine, psionics, etc), there is a unique special, which all users of that force have access to; all other disciplines can be accessed by any force, though doing so requires a higher level of skill.

Every special listed in a discipline is a skill in its own right, and as such has a dice pool. Specials derive their base dice pool from a specific skill that is dependent upon the user and the force it is being used as; for instance, using the Special: Wall as a spell uses the Skill: Spellcraft as its base dice pool, whereas using it as a prayer uses the Skill: Litany as the base dice pool.

Discipline Format

Each discipline has its own nifty little box.

Some specials listed under a discipline may have a term in []'s after or before it, such as [Status] Ward. This means that the special is variable and can be used for a variety of things, and that other disciplines may have something such as Confusion Ward, which will link to the same special, but have the restriction that it function only for the Confusion ailment (for this example).

When you use this special, you must declare one Force (magic, psionics, etc) that it reflects. Note that some disciplines may require you to specify a specific Force.
Whenever the target of this special is affected by a special of the chosen type, that effect's Potency is compared to this effect's Potency. If this effect's Potency is higher than the effect's Potency, the effect is reflected back at its origin: the effect's target becomes the origin, and it's effective rank is reduced by the rank of this effect, to a minimum of 1.
An effect can be reflected only once.
If the target of this effect attempts to use a special on herself that is of the specified type, and the effect is reflected, it is reflected to the nearest legal target within range of the effect; if no such target exists, the effect fails.
