@Sanctaphrax  Dang, looks like its not an original idea after all! I probably shouldn't have said social. Can intimidation make a mental attack? Maybe it's just not the best way to build a warlock...and the lawbreaker stunt applied to aspects is really pushing it anyways. Although it could be an innocent middle school start to an NPC who goes on to become a real nightmare...

Also, using aspects instead of powers takes away the ability to throw magic at will, all day long. So for example, young Molly C. is surprised by her mother before she can change her clothes. She tags her magical talent aspect for a veil (calling it a veil  is just fluff) to get +2 to stealth allowing her to hide from Mom. As she just spent her only fate point, she is incapable of doing it again. If she had channeling:veils she would be able to make a veil whenever she felt like it (and also use channeling maneuvers to make veiled aspects to tag for +2 to stealth without a FP cost).

Is the headache necessarily mechanically significant? It seems like that could also be a minor mental consequence that gave its +2 to have even more effect. I.E. 12 year old Dresden, uses +1 athletics, +2 tag "magical talent" aspect, +2 minor consequence "migraine" giving him a superb +5 long jump. Olympic caliber.

To be perfectly blunt, you're wrong. .

Well, I've always taken pride in my ability to be wrong. I'm easily superb +5 in wrongness! LOL

And the warlock is defiantly a munchkin of a character. I was just trying to hash out a concept.

So I was thinking about a proto-wizard, completely untrained with no magical powers, and realized that just using aspects could make a pretty cool magical character. i.e.

Name: 12 year old Dresden
Template: Pure Mortal? (the +2 refresh is questionable)
High Concept: Council level magical talent, ZERO training
Skills: Lets just say everything at average +1 for sake of argument
Stunts/Powers: NONE
Refresh: 2 (4???) Hydrophobic

Now we have a character who for the low price of 1 fate point, can tag or invoke for affect his high concept for nearly anything. So he wants to win the middle school long jump, throw down a fate point, roll athletics +3. He wants to set the building on fire, throw down a fate point, invoke for effect. He wants another fate point, his power goes crazy and something bad happens.

If the bonus from lawbreaker stunts can stack with the +2 from tagging the high concept, we can build a frightening junior warlock like this too.

Name: Billy D. Warlock
High Concept: Talented Warlock with ZERO training
Aspect: Naturally manipulative and intimidating
Skills: good rapport and intimidation +3
Powers:  Lawbreaker Third (twice) -2
Refresh: 0 (Hydrophobic)

Say billy wants to make you do something. He self compels his high concept to use black magic, and banks a fate point. He makes a social attack with rapport or intimidation, spends his fate point to tag his high concept, and gets another +2 from Lawbreaker Third (is it Kosher to use mental magic for social attacks?).  This gives him a +7 social attack! Say he had another fate point saved up to use. He can tag his manipulative aspect and bring his social attack to +9! Throw down a black magic fueled social maneuver, and Billy can pretty easily pull of some +11 mindbending! That's enough to give a submerged warden nightmares.

It's more of adapting full up Evocation to still being an Earth Focused Practitioner, aka, an alternate element set.

Sorry I wasn't clear. This is what I was intending.

I think having weapons made of mysterious fae metal would be reasonable. If greater glamours is available (for an NPC ninja master maybe?) they could whip ninja weapons out of thin air and do all sorts of other awesome ninja tricks too. Perhaps customizing a stunt to use G. Glamours with stealth or weapons.

Regardless the only disadvantage I would give is to not let the fae weapons satisfy cold iron catches, and that's worth a fate point.

Also, I vote you call them the Sidhenobi (I think sidhe is properly pronounced shay or shee)
