The game archive
The later game has sixteen positions in eight pairs, with Friend appearing twice. Its eight attributes and optional powers are distinct from the five values on these original plates. The files below remain labeled by their working version; no balance changes are implied.
Recovered v0.7 invocation settings
Two shared seals per six encounters; at most one invocation per encounter, no stacking. Unused seals do not accumulate. These are historical game settings, not real-world powers or a substitute for the later prototype rules.
| Invocation | SHED effect in the v0.7 source |
|---|---|
| Revelation | +4 to one external d12 check after seeing the die, or one observable clue when no roll applies. |
| Holy Reverse | Reverse one fictional incoming drawback into an Open Thread owned by the setting. |
| Sacred Skip | Skip one external obstacle or optional complication; it remains unresolved and adds one Open Thread. |
| Double Portion | After a successful action, double its immediate benefit and ordinary Capacity cost, with caps. |
| Leech Ascension | Double an Access/Grip action’s immediate gain; spend one extra Capacity and add one Spillover if access was unagreed. |
| Priesthood Authority | Cancel +1 Belonging difficulty and +1 applicable Obligation Factor difficulty on one social check. |
Every invocation costs one seal. Powers do not override consent, agreed duties, established facts, or a player’s free choice to stop or pass. Full restrictions and HISS options remain in the source workbook.
