A power site is a hidden place that is the “soul” of an area: a source of primal magic. The idea builds on Nord Games’ site hearts and site hunting (see Credits and License).
Attuning: after 8 hours at the site you attune to it and gain a site boon. It does not count against your three attunement slots, you can only have one at a time, and the boon only works at the site. The site can send out a Champion’s Call.

Rank
| Rank | Finding it (site hunting) | Pool / day | Factor | Highest grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor (local legend) | 1 week, 100 gp | 20 | ×1.5 | Medium |
| Regional | 2 weeks, 500 gp | 100 | ×2 | High |
| National | 4 weeks, 2,500 gp | 500 | ×3 | Supreme |
| World | 8 weeks, 10,000 gp | 2,000 | ×4 | Mythic |
Rules
- Attunement to the site is required.
- The factor multiplies the portions you charge yourself.
- The pool is free MP every day, shared by everyone charging at the site.
- Highest grade: the site can only charge materials up to its grade.
- Legendary items are completed at a world power site (suggestion).
- Overuse: using more than 3 × the pool weakens the site.
- Finding one: site hunting + tracking.

- Celestial events (eclipse, meteor shower): the pool ×3 that day.
- Ley lines: ×1.25 without a pool.
- Guardians and Champion’s Call: the site has a guardian, and it can call for a champion.
- Boons: e.g. “Smith’s Hand” – advantage on crafting at the site.
- Bastion on a power site: a 2024 Bastion built on the site can use it.
