Additional Bonuses and Powers

Channel Magick

A combat maneuver called "Channel Magick" is unlocked shortly after bonding. It is fueled by the "Magick" resource points that are charged by the Canalis charm, and fires a bolt of magick damage at a single opponent in combat. It differs from most attacks in the same category in that it uses the Channeling skill as its core skill, rather than Telesmatic Weapon.

Traits granted

At "Fairly healthy" bond strength, the traits Limb regenerativity and Luminescence are granted, and increase in effectiveness with bond strength. Note that if the character also has any degree of Light sensitivity, the luminescence may be a problem rather than a benefit.
