Signature Illusions
Ravnos can make the same illusion over and over again such that it is more potent than when created by other Chimerstry practitioners. These Signature Illusions are activated like Rituals, except they have a casting time of 1 action or less. They cost 5exp for Ravnos to learn and 10 for members of other clans. Creating a new Signature illusion requires research. Signature illusions cost 4 Freebies each at game start
