Long gone is the Age of Myths, yet it is hard to disbelieve them when the divine still persists. No one is quite so sure where these entities originate; in fact, many are concerned they may come from the same source as the Darkbrood, but they appear to be benevolent to their partners. Diviners use ancient evocation techniques using Photon Energy to summon what they call Kalei to fight for them. These techniques used to have devastating costs on the Diviners of ages past, and since then they’ve created equipment, called Batons, that perform the techniques for them to offload the physical costs so they can focus on the battle itself.

K.A.O.S. does not assign Diviners to units. Far too many people are nervous around them. It takes a certain kind of person to want to be a Diviner in the first place, and having someone with a highly spirited personality and a mystical creature around at the same time can be a lot. The few Diviners in units tend to have found their teams on their own. There are a few that have risen to positions of power due to their skills with divination, but the vast majority of Diviners are Public Contractors.

Since Diviners can’t really hold other Weapons while wielding their Batons, they tend to be personally vulnerable unless they happen to also have hand-to-hand Abilities. Because Kalei are not limited to the Diviner’s Zone of Attention, it is best for them to stay protected in the backline during Combat. They can’t see what the Kalei sees, though, so they still need to keep a line of sight on whatever they are doing (recommended no farther than three times their Zone of Attention).

Please check the details on your Tuning Accessory for your Kalei’s Movement, Elemental type, and other bonuses. Kalei are physical beings that can be knocked back, grappled, or detained (unless dismissed or teleported to you), but they have no Resources of their own and cannot be physically harmed. Treat them as a mobile weapon attached to your Resources.

In My Element
Cost 10 AP – Intuitive, Command, Unique, Magic

[Requires a Baton and Tuner equipped] At your GM’s discretion on difficulty, your Kalei can now additionally perform Task Checks that manipulate the Element associated with its Tuner, scaling off your CHM. These entities cannot create matter from nothing and would require a lot of your SP to condense ambient Photon Energy into a usable amount (whatever your GM thinks is appropriate), but can shift pre-existing aspects of their Element in the environment fairly easily without an SP cost. Any action that could directly harm an Enemy target must have a reasonable SP cost.
