Mastery

Masteries are tools of an Assassin's craft. Instead of bending reality like Gifts, Masteries break reality to allow Assassins to create unlikely events to suit their purposes, so long as those purposes are bent toward violence and killing.

Types of Masteries

• Preparation - Procurement of necessary items, information gathering, communicating, and anything that doesn't involving finding a target and killing them.
• Evaluation - Tracking, observing, and laying traps for a target.
• Execution - Attacking, defending, and killing a target.
