You learn the ultimate  Entropist spell: Comet. 

| Comet | MP: 50 | Target: Special | Duration: Instantaneous |

You rip open a large portal to the Cosmos, calling down astral debris from the gaping void. Choose on option: one creature you can see suffers 60 untyped damage; or you choose any number of creatures you can see, and each of them suffers 40 untyped damage. These amounts increase by 5 if you are level 20 or higher, or by 10 if you are level 40 or higher.

Damage dealt by this spell has no type (thus being unaffected by damage Affinities).

When you use your Hawkeye Skill and choose the first option, if no decoy bait is present on the scene, you may spend 10 Mind Points. If you do, you create a decoy bait with Hit Points equal to 【half your level + (your SL in Hawkeye, multiplied by 5)】.

When an enemy who can see your decoy bait deals damage to one or more creatures, your decoy bait automatically suffers damage in place of one of those creatures, chosen randomly (your decoy bait is always treated as having neutral Affinity towards all damage types, and cannot gain any other Affinity).

When an enemy reduces your decoy bait to 0 Hit Points, your decoy bait is automatically destroyed and you roll [[/r 1d10]]. If the number rolled is equal to or lower than 【3 + your SL in Hawkeye】, you may immediately perform a free attack with a bow or firearm weapon you have equipped.

Describe how you convince them to desist.


Double Arrow

Requirements: you must have mastered one or more Classes among Commander and Sharpshooter.

When you perform the Attack action with a ranged weapon that belongs to the bow Category, if you have no other weapon equipped, you may perform two separate attacks instead of one (against the same target or against different targets). If you do, both attacks follow the rules for two-weapon fighting: each attack loses the multi property and cannot gain it, and you treat the High Roll of each Accuracy Check as being equal to 0 when determining damage.

Note that this Heroic Skill does not stack with a custom weapon’s quick customization (using Double Arrows with a quick bow doesn’t allow more than two attacks, in short).


Dreamslice

Requirements: you must have mastered one or more Classes among Darkblade and Esper.

When you hit one or more creatures with an attack from your Shadow Strike Skill using a weapon that belongs to the sword Category, each of those creatures loses an amount of Mind Points equal to 【the number you rolled on your Might die for Shadow Strike】.

Describe how you join forces! You and the chosen character both receive the following benefits as long as the synchronization remains active:

Ephemeral Tranquility

Requirements: you must have mastered one or more Classes among Dancer (see High Fantasy, page 142), Esper (see Techno Fantasy, page 150), Rogue, Spiritist, and Symbolist (see High Fantasy, page 146)

During a conflict, you may use an action and spend up to 20 Mind Points. For every 10 Mind Points spent this way, you may choose a different enemy you can see who is suffering from two or more status effects. Every enemy chosen this way recovers from all status effects and loses an amount of Hit Points equal to 【half your level + (the number of status effects that enemy recovered from this way, multiplied by 10)】.

You also add the following effect to your list of sets:

Note that this spell will not undo the consequences of the character's surrender and is of no use if the character left the scene as part of their surrender — such as if they were captured and dragged away, or if they were trapped in a parallel dimension, and so on.

A Player Character may only be affected by this spell once per scene; if a character is brought back into the conflict by this spell and is subsequently reduced to 0 Hit Points again, they must sacrifice themselves or surrender as per the normal rules (including a new consequence and 2 more Fabula Points if they surrender).

This effect lasts until the start of your next turn, or until you use this Skill again.

The spell now targets all creatures present on the scene whose current Attribute die size matches your choice, regardless of whether they are friends or foes (you might even end up targeting yourself). The effects of the spell are fully applied to every target.

'Note that this Heroic Skill does not stack with a custom weapon's quick customization (using Spider's Web with a quick flail doesn't allow more than two attacks, in short).

You become completely immune to a single status effect of your choice.


Steel Witch

Requirements: you must have mastered the Pilot Class.

After you cast the first spell of your turn during a conflict, if you are driving your personal vehicle, you may choose one option (after the spell has been resolved): choose one enabled module and disable it, then choose one disabled module and enable it; or the next spell you cast before the end of this scene that deals damage deals 5 extra damage; or the next spell you cast before the end of this scene that restores Hit Points to one or more creatures restores 10 additional Hit Points to each of those creatures.

When you perform a ranged attack using a weapon that belongs to the thrown Category, if you have no martial armor and no shields equipped, you gain 1 Momentum Point.

Your ranged attacks using weapons that belong to the thrown Category deal extra damage equal to your current Momentum Points.

Theme Song

Requirements: you must have mastered the Chanter Class.

Once per conflict scene after you sing a verse in your theme song's key, you may start your theme song — if it's a real song, it's a great idea to play it in the background!

While singing your theme song, you gain the following benefits:

The theme song lasts until the end of the scene or until you leave the scene, die, or fall unconscious. The theme song also ends as soon as you sing a verse in a key other than the theme song's, if your turn ends and you have not sung any verse, or if another character starts their theme song.


Triple Slash

Requirements: you must have mastered one or more Classes among Dancer and Weaponmaster.

As long as you have a one-handed melee weapon that belongs to the dagger or sword Categories equipped in each of your normal hand slots, you may treat your armor slot as if it were a second off-hand slot. You may only use this special slot to equip a one-handed melee weapon that belongs to the dagger or sword Categories — note that the Monkey Grip Skill does not turn two-handed weapons into one-handed weapons, and thus cannot be used in combination with Triple Slash.

When you perform the Attack action while you have three daggers and/or swords equipped, you may attack once with each weapon. This follows the normal rules for two-weapon fighting: each of the three attacks loses the multi property and cannot gain it, and you treat the High Roll (HR) of each Accuracy Check as being equal to 0 when determining damage.

When you use this Skill, you must select a Quality from the default list for that item type as long as the cost modifier associated with that ability is +1000 zenit or lower. Then, you must spend an amount of zenit equal to twice the cost modifier of the chosen ability. The modified item will be ready at the end of the rest; you may only modify one item per rest.

The default list of weapon abilities can be found on page 269 (Core Rulebook), while the default list of armor and shield abilities can be found on page 280 (Core Rulebook).


Vanish

Requirements: you must have mastered the Rogue Class.

You learn the ultimate Elementalist spell: Volcano.

| Volcano | MP: 40 | Target: Special | Duration: Instantaneous |

You channel the fury of the planet into a powerful wave of fire and magma.
