# The Pale Options The starting shelf of Pales. A LoreMaster can place any of these as part of a scene for free, or conjure one in the middle of battle by paying its Disruption cost in Discord Points. The cost follows the Pale's type: an Environmental Pale is the 8-point Environmental Effect, a Magical Pale is the 15-point Magical Effect. LoreMasters can of course build their own, and the type they choose sets the cost. | Pale | Type | Behavior | Conjure cost | |---|---|---|---| | Pyre | Environmental | Enter it or start your turn in it, take damage. | 8 | | Mire | Environmental | The spaces are difficult. End your turn there and you are rooted until you spend movement to pull free. | 8 | | Murk | Environmental | Sight is blocked past one space, and creatures inside are Shrouded. | 8 | | Chasm | Environmental | Impassable. Forced movement into it is a fall. | 8 | | Gale | Environmental | Enter it and you are moved a set distance in a set direction. | 8 | | Slick | Environmental | End your turn in it and you slide a set distance in the direction you last moved. | 8 | | Bramble | Environmental | Moving through its spaces deals damage for each space crossed. | 8 | | Blight | Magical | Enter it and suffer an Affliction the LoreMaster sets. | 15 | | Hallow | Magical | Start your turn in it and recover Vitality. | 15 | | Hush | Magical | No spell may be cast within it. | 15 | | Aegis | Magical | While inside, the damage you take is reduced. | 15 | | Maw | Magical | At the start of each turn, creatures inside are pulled toward its center. | 15 | Notes: - **Set Pales cost nothing.** The cost above is only for conjuring a Pale mid-battle as a Disruption. Anything already part of the scene is free. - **Type sets the cost, flavor is free.** A natural fire and a conjured hellfire can both be a Pyre. If the LoreMaster frames it as supernatural, it is Magical and costs 15. If it is mundane, it is Environmental and costs 8. - **Reskin freely.** Each row is a behavior, not a fixed fiction. Mire is any clinging ground, Murk is any blinding cloud, Hush is any silenced circle.
