TECHNIQUE: WAY OF THE WARDMASTER
The Yogo are masters at creating wards for later use. When
you cast any spell with the Wards keyword, you may Raise
a number of times equal to the spell’s Mastery Level to instead
place the spell into a paper ward. Once this is done, the
paper ward will hold the spell “latent” until you activate it
(as a Simple Action) by placing it on a target. Only you may
activate your wards. The ward sticks to the target and immediately
discharge the spell, whose duration is measured normally
from that moment. If an area-effect spell is discharged
onto a living target, it will only affect that target.
Placing a paper ward on an unwilling target requires an
unarmed melee attack using a roll of Spellcraft / Agility.
An active ward may be physically torn/destroyed, which
instantly ends any ongoing spell effects; this requires a
Simple Action.


FAMILY: Yogo Akira (Father), Yogo Yoshie (Mother), Yogo Sumiko (older sister), Yogo Katsuo (older brother), Yogo Rin (Younger sister).

Background:

Yogo Saki is the third of four children in her family, a surprising number in the Yogo family. She inherited several things from her bloodline. The notorious Yogo Curse, the beauty of her ancestors, and a minor gift of prophecy. Unfortunately, the curse and the prophetic abilities have combined to create a fragile veneer on her mind, a fountain of anxiety waiting to snap in the right conditions. To combat this, she has taken to doing divinations using Kawaru coins, a method that has helped her remain calm and on-face despite her various anxieties. Her normal attire is a fine shugenja robe of purple and gold, and a placid black mask with silver trim that covers her eyes and parts of her cheeks.

Saki has been dispatched by her family to present a gift to the newborn, a large, ornate ward with fine calligraphy to ward off bad fortune and bad health for the child.
