Meditation

Ability to reach a state of calm reflection through the use of controlled breathing, posture, and mental imagery. A character may meditate in lieu of normal sleep with a successful meditation skill roll. While meditating, a character is aware of her surroundings but distractions and external stimulus can make meditation more difficult (the GM will assign a difficulty modifier to the meditation skill roll based on the severity of the distractions). Magicians who study the order of Mysticism use this skill to calm themselves before casting a spell. One hour of meditation provides the same benefits as two hours of sleep.
