The Stargazer exploits the mystical resonance between the Asian elements of water, fire, earth, metal, and wood, transforming one element into another. An avatar of Chimera teaches this Gift.

System: The player rolls Manipulation + Enigmas (difficulty 7). Each success allows for one square foot of a particular element (water, earth, fire, metal, or wood)

to be changed into an alternate type of the same group of elements: Fire may become wood, water may become earth, and so on. The dimension and shape of the ele­ ment doesn’t change — a fire in a fireplace still retains its “shape,” but may now be made of wood, or even water (which retains the same shape, becoming liquid held fast to a specific contour). The effect lasts for a number of turns equal to the character’s Gnosis rating.
