The island chant

Ebbsong

An older, island-born tradition of chanted rhythms that bend water and wind. No reserve to spend: the power is in keeping the chain going.

Long before the star fell, the fisher-folk of the Ostrel Isles sang to the sea, and sometimes the sea answered. The Ebbsingers of the Choir of Fathoms keep the old hymns. The Wickwardens learned them too, because an Ebbsong leaves the cindrels alone.

An Ebbsong is a rhythm, not a spell. Each verse rises, crests or breaks, and a singer who keeps the rhythm going builds a Chain that the breaking verse spends all at once.

Så fungerar det

Verse

A verse the singer knows. Each is a card on the sheet; Rise and Crest build Chain, Break spends it.

Every verse is tagged Rise, Crest or Break.

Rise and Crest verses build. Each one adds 1 Chain, up to 5.
A Break verse spends. It spends the Chain you have built, and gains +1d4 for every Chain spent (the Swell).
Breakwater. A Break that spends 3 or more Chain also triggers its finisher.
Chain empties on a short rest, so in practice it is gone once the fight is over.

A verse's save DC is 8 plus your proficiency bonus plus your Charisma modifier.
