On te parle pas de wiccans, de sorcières blanches, de rebouteuses et autres tripoteuses d’énergies mystiques qui tirent leurs pouvoirs de la nature, d’elles-mêmes ou de tout ce qui est sympa dans l’univers. Si tu veux faire un serviteur de la lumière, tourne-toi plutôt vers les élus ou les chamans.</p>\n<h3>Magie Noire</h3>\n<p>Cet Atout d’arcanes présente les sorcières et les sorciers qui font appel au côté le plus obscur des Terres de chasse. La « magie noire », voilà bien une source de puissance rapide et facile pour ceux qui veulent se l’approprier et on va pas se mentir, ça sent vraiment le faisan. Les Juges se montrent ravis de laisser les mortels faire mumuse avec, même s’ils pensent en fin de compte faire le bien avec. Et ça les fait bien rigoler, vu qu’elle finit par corrompre les plus fortes têtes.</p>\n<p>Comme les sorcières tirent leur pouvoir de la magie noire, elles bénéficient de certains avantages quand le Niveau de Peur atteint au moins 4, de la même manière que leurs consœurs et leurs confrères sous le contrôle du Marshal.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"list-heading\"> Niveau de Peur 4–5:</span> le personnage bénéficie d’une Relance gratuite sur n’importe quel jet de Magie raté (voir Relancer dans Savage Worlds).</li>\n<li><span class=\"list-heading\">Deadlands:</span> il bénéficie d’une Relance gratuite sur n’importe quel jet de Magie..</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Bon c’est sûr, avec toutes ces Relances, il a aussi plus de chances de se faire Corrompre, mais on y reviendra un peu plus loin, partenaire.</p>\n<h3>Corruption</h3>\n<p>En plus d’infliger les effets habituels de la Fatigue et de mettre fin à tous les pouvoirs actifs, une sorcière assez poissarde pour se retrouver avec un Échec critique gagne un point de Corruption. Chaque fois que ça lui arrive, elle obtient aussi un nouveau Handicap mineur, ou bien l’un de ceux qu’elle possédait déjà devient un Handicap majeur (au choix du joueur). Et estime-toi heureux que ce soit pas au Marshal que revienne cet honneur.</p>\n<p>Les Handicaps devraient se révéler négatifs par nature (dit comme ça, ça a l’air redondant, mais on te connaît, valait mieux préciser). Une sorcière peut se montrer extrêmement irritable (Sale caractère), se retrouver avec un gros poireau sur le nez (Laide) ou Recherchée par les autorités. Les éventuels « bons » Handicaps, comme Loyal, demeurent possibles avec l’accord du Marshal.</p>\n<p>Si la Corruption d’une sorcière atteint un jour le même score que son dé d’Âme, elle devient vraiment très très méchante, et surtout un PNJ sous le contrôle du Marshal.</p>\n<p><strong>Diminuer la Corruption:</strong> chaque fois qu’un personnage participe à baisser le Niveau de Peur d’une région, il diminue aussi de 1 son score de Corruption. Cela élimine un Handicap mineur dont il avait hérité ainsi, ou bien un Handicap majeur retrouve son caractère mineur. En revanche, cela ne concerne pas les autres Handicaps acquis au fil du jeu ou à la création. Ça va sans dire, mais ça va mieux en le disant</p>\n<p>De la même manière, la sorcière peut se débarrasser d’un Handicap gagné de la sorte en y consacrant une Progression (voir Progressions dans Savage Worlds). Si la Corruption en est responsable, le supprimer entraîne aussi la suppression d’un point de Corruption</p>\n</div>"
