| Core Mechanic | Leader rolls 3d6 against target 11. Party members assist by describing how they use elemental Shaping (sign language-based magic), adding bonuses. Roll 17–18 is automatic success; 3–4 is automatic failure. | Each of six stats has a die from d4 to d20; roll the relevant die against a GM-set difficulty. A maximum die result that still misses triggers a Lucky Break reroll, adding the new result. Failed checks grant Adversity Tokens that players can later spend to raise rolls. |

| Best For | Groups wanting a family-friendly cooperative fantasy RPG that introduces sign language (ASL/BSL) and Deaf awareness through an enchanting Celtic-inspired setting. | Groups that want to build a magical school together and tell adventures from its rumors and relationships. It suits tables that prefer a light check system and open-ended magic over tactical combat. |
| Highlights | Teaches real sign language (ASL and BSL) through play, strong safety tools and consent framework, inclusive and family-friendly, unique cooperative focus where every player contributes to tests | Players build their school together and seed its history with rumors that the GM can turn into adventures. Open-ended spells use the intended effect and scope to set a difficulty, letting students attempt magic without a fixed spell list. Relationship questions establish bonds among characters before play and give the GM personal story hooks. |
| Considerations | Very narrow appeal, minimal mechanical depth beyond the core roll, tightly bound to its specific setting, sign language component may not suit all groups | The GM judges target numbers for ordinary checks using example anchors rather than a fixed formula. Spell difficulty depends on four effect categories, asking the GM to price each new magical attempt. Combat resolves through opposed checks and an injury chart without tactical positioning rules. |
