Minor Magical Abilities

In addition to actual spellcasting, requests for miracles, etc., there are a number of lesser abilities, usually represented as skills in WFRP, which are also magical in nature. This is significant for two reasons: They can be affected as if they were spells and characters who use them frequently may find themselves becoming Tainted.

• Divining - Divination attempts will generally produce 1 Magical Taint, but critical successes give 0 and critical failures give 1d6
• Dowsing - Any character who has not completed the Druid career gains Magical Taint as for Divining
• Luck - If the GM allows players to know how many times per day their Luck can be used, there is a 1 in 6 chance of gaining 1 Magical Taint each time Luck is used, but not more than once per day. If the players are not made aware of the limits of their Luck, 1 Magical Taint is automatically gained each time they attempt to use Luck when it is not available.
• Sixth Sense - Any time a character's Sixth Sense is tripped, he should make an additional Intelligence test. If this test is successful, he is judged to have acquired the information by natural means and there is no further effect. If it is failed, the information was obtained mystically and 1 Magical Taint is gained.
