• Power Activators: Magic users must be able to gesture and speak to cast spells.
• Languages Known: Native (native, d8)
• Arcane Background (Magic):
• Earth & Water Sense: Stone Masters may detect secret passages or compartments inside a stone or underground structure as an action up to Range Spirit; likewise, they sense water (lakes, streams, springs, sewers, etc) and the presence of underground supernatural beings at a Range of Spirit in miles.
• Expanded Awareness: Stone Masters have the detect arcana power which they may activate as an Innate Ability with the reduced Power Points cost from both the Range (Self) and Aspect limitations (see Trappings in Savage Worlds). They may sense supernatural beings within line of sight with a Notice check.
• Ley Line Sense: Stone Masters have this Ley Line Walker ability, see The Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide.
• Levitate Stone: At a cost of 1 PPE per minute Stone Masters may check Occult as an Innate Ability to activate telekinesis, only usable on stone, with a Strength of d12 plus half Spirit. This ability doesn't require Gestures or Speech, and the sorcerer may even pluck rocks out of the ground as if scooping stones from water.
• Mold Stone: Stone Masters can shape gems and stones using their mind and the Occult skill as if the materials were clay in the hands of a master sculptor. The sorcerer can create openings and tunnels through solid rock, pluck gems and crystals out of solid rock, or pull material out from a stone surface to create solid rock formations using the barrier, burrow, or entangle powers. At no additional PPE cost and as an Innate Ability the Stone Master may check the lower of Spellcasting or Occult to make the resulting stone formation permanent!
• Move Stone: Stone physically carried by a Stone Master has only one hundredth of its normal Encumbrance weight.
• Stone Mastery: Stone Masters have the elemental manipulation power which they may activate as an Innate Ability for no PPE to pull rocks, stones, or pebbles out of the ground and move, control, and levitate them. As an action, they may activate the Elemental Fury and Exalted Manipulation modifiers at no PPE cost. Non-arcane environmental protection has no effect against this ability.
• Cybernetics: Cyberware wreaks havoc on the flow of arcane energies Stone Masters rely on, imposing −1 to Spellcasting for each point of Strain.
• Enemies: As with all magic users, Stone Masters are usually designated “shoot on-sight” targets for the Coalition and those who violently reject all forms of the supernatural. Those who swear fealty to a power opposing Lord Dunscon may find the True Federation to be hostile territory as well.
• Power Activators: Stone Masters must have their hands free to Gesture and have the ability of Speech to work their powers (see Power Activators in The Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide). Entangled, Bound, silenced or otherwise muted Stone Masters can't activate new magic powers until they are free.

Background:

Arken Stonehelm joined the Tomorrow Legion after training as a Stone master because of family ties. He is related to some of the first dwarves to arrive on Rifts Earth, though his own arrival was delayed by his studies. He is newer to the Legion and has only helped bolster some of the stonework and fortifications.
The True Federation of Magic appears to be just another oppressor, aggressively violent towards those who haven't sworn their life to the cause. Arken is more of a free spirit and doesn't take well to that sort of domineering rulership.
While Arken is still relatively new to Rifts Earth, he has had some interaction with local smugglers. Mostly, and rather unsurprisingly, these dealings are exclusively to get his hands on gems and stones he cannot find in the surroundings of Castle Refuge.
He has also had no real dealings with the Coalition other than hearing their reputation for brutality towards non-humans.
Arken is not an outgoing individual. He is a dedicated craftsman and has grand aspirations for both construction and creating brilliant gemwork masterpieces. He has made no enemies to his knowledge.
Arken, in his free time, will mostly explore the surrounding areas looking for different types of stone and earth in which to dig and build. When he cannot convince a Legion patrol to take him out on their sorties, he will often travel with trusted traders and caravans. He has even gone so far as to hire some mercenaries for low-danger exploration work in the surrounding territory.
Short term goal: Arken has explored everything there is to see in the area immediately around Castle Refuge. He would like to get out to see other places.
Long term goal: He has designed a torc in which he intends to set three fantastic gems. He has yet to find the appropriate stones, and he still lacks the skill to fashion and imbue the item. When he is finished, the item will be an artifact of significant power.
