PLAYTEST MATERIAL: ELEMENTS GROUP

Yep. Bending stuff.

Mechanical Information

Some stuff you need to know about things.

Upgrades: Some specials have upgrades. Each rank you have in a special, you can select one of the listed upgrades. Note that some upgrades have prerequisites.
Downranking: You do not always have to use a special at its most powerful. If you choose to use a downranked special, you must account for the upgrades you are not utilizing for that particular downrank. As an example, say you have a special at rank 5 with three range upgrades and two duration upgrades. You want to use it at rank 3; when you do so, because it is two ranks lower, you must give up two upgrades, but they need not be specific ones nor the same ones each time you use the special at that rank (so you could use it once at rank 3 with three range upgrades and no duration upgrades, or one range upgrade and two duration upgrades, or some other combination).
Potency: When you use a special that calls for Potency, you make a check with the special (which is special's dice pool + root's dice pool).
