Great stuff! i like your ideas as much as I like the Mandate Of Heaven. Which is a lot. One minor query, though; what exactly does Rat Chews On Stolen Grain do? There's a roll, and a difficulty, but no effect for its success as far as I can determine. I get the general idea, but a clarification would be very much appreciated...DeathBySurfeit

Constructive Action

Faithful Mouse Counts Jade
Cost: 1 lim, 1 wp; Mins: Culture 2, Craft 2; Diff: -
Keywords: Internal
Activation: Season; Duration: 5 turns (d)

Dominons can store excess in the moment, for a later desperate time.
You may convert an external bonus point into Wealth. You may have a maximum Wealth equal to your Temperance. Wealth may be spent to add bonus dice to any other roll, or to increase the difficulty of any External Action another Dominion takes targeting you.

Having Wealth also allows you to take Actions with the Wealth keyword. These actions usually reduce your Wealth by 1 or more.

Sorcerer's Great Work
Cost: 2 lim, 2 wp (c); Mins: Culture 4, Occult 4; Diff: Culture + Conviction
Keywords: Internal
Activation: Decade; Duration: -

Savants and Sorcerers, wise to the ways of essence, can turn their lands into vast Manses.

Roll your (Government + Occult), against a difficulty of your (Culture + Conviction).

In either case, add +1 to the Manse Attribute of the Dominion, to a maximum Manse rating equal to the Dominion's Magnitude.
The legitiment sorcerer of the Dominion must be the one to committ the willpower to Sorcerer's Great Work to reap the benefits. Sorcerer's Great Work must be used before the Manse rating can be taken advantage of. They need only committ one Willpower to Sorcerer's Great Work, no matter tha Manse rating or across multiple uses.
During the Recovery phase, a legitiment and Essence-using Sorcerer regenerates a number of additional motes equal to the Manse rating of the Dominion.

The first success provides you with an external bonus point, up to your (Magnitude x3) maximum.
