Target – A Spell being cast within range The Cipher Mage can attempt to use their magic to disrupt an enemy as a spell is being cast. The spellcaster target with this ability must make an opposed attribute test against the Cipher Mage. The Cipher Mage uses their [Cunning](Cunning.md), [Guile](Guile.md) or [Wit](Wit.md). The enemy uses their [Cunning](Cunning.md), [Guile](Guile.md) or [Wit](Wit.md). If the Cipher Mage wins, the spell and its effects are negated and the caster is refunded their mana spent. The [APC](Action%20Point%20Cost.md) of this ability is equal to the spell's APC reduced by an amount equal to the Cipher Mage’s [Guile](Guile.md), [Wit](Wit.md) or [Cunning](Cunning.md). The [MPC](Mana%20Point%20Cost.md) of this ability is equal to the spell’s MPC. ### [Encoded Spells](Encoded%20Spells.md) <small>(Level 1)</small> Keywords – *[Magic](Prism/Glossary/Keywords/Typing%20Effects/Magic.md), [[Cipher]], [Empower](Empower.md)* The Cipher Mage adds the [[Cipher]] Keyword to all of the spells they cast. ### [Glyph Casting](Glyph%20Casting%20(Cipher%20Mage).md) <small>(Level 1)</small> Keywords – *[Magic](Prism/Glossary/Keywords/Typing%20Effects/Magic.md), [[Cipher]], [Imbue](Imbue.md)* APC – 1 Target – 1 Ally Range – Touch The Cipher Mage may touch an ally and imbue them with Tier I [Bestow](Bestow.md).

These parameters are chosen as the Cipher Mage sees fit. ### [Counter Cypher](Counter%20Cypher.md) <small>(Level 2)</small> Keywords – *[Magic](Prism/Glossary/Keywords/Typing%20Effects/Magic.md), [[Cipher]], [Economy](Economy.md), [Empower](Empower.md)* Whenever the Cipher Mage would dispel or counter a spell within the range of one of their [Glyph Casting](Glyph%20Casting%20(Cipher%20Mage).md) targets, the Cipher Mage reduces the [MPC](Mana%20Point%20Cost.md) of the next spell they cast through that origin point by an amount equal to their [Cunning](Cunning.md), [Guile](Guile.md) or [Wit](Wit.md). ### [Character Path](Character%20Paths.md) <small>(Level 3)</small> ### [Ability Seal](Ability%20Seal.md) <small>(Level 4)</small> Keywords – *[Magic](Prism/Glossary/Keywords/Typing%20Effects/Magic.md), [[Cipher]], [Depower](Depower.md), [Empower](Empower.md)* Whenever the Cipher Mage would inflict or imbue an effect using the parameter of a [Glyph Casting](Glyph%20Casting%20(Cipher%20Mage).md) target, they reduce the Tiers of those [Imbuements](Imbuement.md) on enemies and [Afflictions](Affliction.md) on allies within the aura of that origin point by 1. ### [Matrix of Magic](Matrix%20of%20Magic%20(Cipher%20Mage).md) <small>(Level 5)</small> Keywords – *[Magic](Prism/Glossary/Keywords/Typing%20Effects/Magic.md), [[Cipher]], [Economy](Economy.md)* The Cipher Mage may attempt a Perception check at the start of their turn.

They may also take their own Mana Points and those of their [Glyph Casting](Glyph%20Casting%20(Cipher%20Mage).md) targets, if they have them, and move 1 Mana Point from each target to another in range of these origin points. ### [Character Path](Character%20Paths.md) <small>(Level 6)</small> ### ??? <small>(Level 7)</small> ### ??? <small>(Level 8)</small> ### [Character Path](Character%20Paths.md) <small>(Level 9)</small> ### ??? <small>(Level 10)</small>
