Exceptional Success: Same as Success, but
the Willpower is not spent.
Crumble Crumble Crumble by by Faults Faults ( (●●●) (
The Dragon widens the faults the
target possesses, corroding equipment or
stiffening seams. The Durability of the
object is reduced by the Dragon’s
proficiency in Ash. This is a lasting effect.
That is, unless the object is
supernatural in some way. If it is indeed of
mystical origin, the reduction lasts for a
number of turns equal to the successes rolled
on activation, and then the object returns to
normal.

Dramatic Failure: The object is
dramatically improved, increasing its
Durability by 3. The fault being exploited is
also repaired, which means the Dragon must
find a different fault and complete the steps
necessary to use Crumble by Faults. She
cannot move up to the next level of Ash
until she successfully uses Crumble by
Faults.
Failure: Try as she might, the fault will not
compromise the object’s integrity. The Ash
Dragon cannot use higher levels of the Ash
Philosophy until she succeeds on this one.
Success: The fault in the object is widened,
causing damage to the object’s integrity and
making it easier to break. If the object is
mundane, this damage is permanent. If,
however, the object is somehow mystical or
being amplified by a Graft, this damage only
lingers for a number of turns equal to the
successes rolled.
Exceptional Success: Same as Success, but
the Breath is not spent.
Ashes Ashes to to to Dust Dust ( (●●●●) (
The Dragon further extends the
faults beyond diminishment, usually
destroying the target utterly. The successes
on activation inflict damage directly to
Structure.
It might seem odd to damage
Structure directly after going through the
trouble of reducing Durability, but on close
examination it begins to make sense.
Durability is plied against this Philosophy
only as a penalty, and it does not
automatically reduce damage when this
Philosophy is used. Therefore, both having
it lowered and ignored as a damage sponge
makes destroying the object so much easier.

Dramatic Failure: The object is repaired by
the attempt at destruction, recovering four
points of Structure. The fault being
exploited is also repaired, which means the
Dragon must find a different fault and
complete the steps necessary to use Ashes to
Dust. She cannot move up to the next level
of Ash until she successfully uses Ashes to
Dust.
Failure: Though the fault may writhe and
seem to crack, it does not inflict any damage
to Structure. The Ash Dragon cannot use
the final level of the Ash Philosophy until
she succeeds on this one.
Success: The fault in the object is spread,
inflicting damage to Structure equal to the
successes rolled. Like any attack against an
object, if Structure is reduced to zero it
breaks and ceases to function as intended.
The damage inflicted by this Philosophy is
not reduced by the object’s Durability.
Exceptional Success: Same as Success, but
the Breath is not spent.
