Matter is not as permanent as it believes itself to be. You remind a creature’s body of this truth — loosening the binding forces that hold its physical form in coherent shape, letting it come slightly undone.

Choose a creature you can see within 30 meters. The target must make a Fortitude skill check contested by your Magic skill.

- On a failure, the creature takes Physical damage equal to the margin of failure plus your Magic Skill as its form partially destabilises.

- Until the start of your next turn, the target’s Physical Defense is reduced by 2 as its material coherence wavers.

- This spell has no effect on undead, constructs, or creatures without a physical form.

## Stunts

### Deep Dissolution

The Physical Defense reduction increases from 2 to 3 and lasts for 2 rounds instead of 1.

### Elemental Vulnerability

The destabilised form also loses 1 Elemental Defense for the duration, as the binding that gives the creature its natural resistances weakens alongside its structure.

### Cascading Unravel

If the target fails by 3 or more, one additional creature within 5 meters of the target must make the same Fortitude check or suffer half the Physical Defense penalty (rounded down) for 1 round.

### Exposed Core

While the target’s Physical Defense is reduced by Unravel Form, any Piercing damage it takes ignores all remaining Physical Defense, not just the reduced amount.

### Persistent Unravelling

At the end of the target’s turn, if it has not received magical healing or ended the effect through any means, it takes 1 additional Physical damage.
