#Baekgwi Jeonseunggi Quick Reference
Contents
This document is a reference that quickly gathers the core tables of
fc08.
#Opening Vignette — The Folded Paper
Inside the exorcist's sleeve, a small paper was folded.
The paper did not record how to use a blade. Nor how to draw a talisman. Instead, there were five lines.
What does it eat? Where is it strong? What name does it hate? Who is hiding it? What must be set right for it to vanish?
Each time he met a yoma, he unfolded the paper. The paper asked the same questions every time, and the answers were different every time.
That is why he lived long.
#Scent — A Night Carried Folded
The quick reference is not meant to lessen fear. It is meant so that, in the field, you do not forget what to ask first. Even when using a yoma quickly, always keep one of name, gate, desire, or faction response in reserve.
#Law — Order of Impromptu Use
- Answer three of the yoma's 5 questions.
- Choose one from the 8 axes of desire.
- Choose one Spirit Realm gate relationship.
- Attach one faction response.
- If needed, attach just one reinforcing background.
