spell name: TAROT MENTOR | list name: Minor Arcana Magic | level: 50 | realm: Essence | type: tarotmage base | spell class: F | duration: permanent | range: — | area of effect: 1 querent | sourcebook: rolemaster companion 7 |
description: Allows querent to draw from the court cards; the card drawn becomes the querent's permanent "mentor." The mentor card is a sort of advisor/teacher/ guardian angel. A character may only have one mentor. The mentor will have the same special ability as given for the cards in the Tarot Servant spell. It will appear at random times in different forms, and as frequently or infrequently as it chooses. The mentor may appear in a physical form to the querent, or in a dream, or as a voice, etc. The mentor will base its actions on what it believes will teach the querent the most valuable lesson, even to the apparent detriment of the querent. To the querent, it may seem as though the mentor behaves chaotically, but the mentor may be basing is actions within the framework of a "grander plan" beyond the scope of the querent's understanding. The querent has no power to force the mentor to show itself. Anyone may have a tarot mentor, but Tarotmages are likely to be hesitant to throw the spell for the benefit of anyone other than another Tarotmage. |
