Moderate fate, slightly.

Turn a critical into not a critical.

Extra Credit
Seal Fate
Effort: 8
Requires: Mastery
When a critical or critical failure would be rerolled, you may Spellburn 1 as a reaction to cast a spell to stop it from being rerolled, undo any rerolls that have already happened to that crit, and stop all further attempts to reroll that roll.
(Any resources that would be spent to reroll the roll are not spent. It is as if the reroll never happened.)
Ebbing Luck
Effort: 40
Requires: Mastery
When you use Nudge Fate, you may also curse the affected target so they only crit on a natural 20 on rolls to hit, tests, and saves until the start of their next turn.
(Critical fails are unaffected.)
