Unique Setting Edges
Section titled “Unique Setting Edges”Sugar Weave Adept
Section titled “Sugar Weave Adept”Requirements: Novice, Smarts or Spirit d6+

Rot Warden
Section titled “Rot Warden”Requirements: Novice, Spirit or Vigor d6+
+2 to resist Souring effects, corruption, or “blanding.” Once per session you may attempt to cleanse minor Souring from an ally, object, or small area (Spirit roll; larger efforts become Dramatic Tasks).
Bitter Truths
Section titled “Bitter Truths”Requirements: Novice, Smarts d6+
+2 Notice to detect deception, hidden motives, or early signs of Souring influence in social situations. Once per scene during a Social Conflict you may make a free Test of Wills using this insight.
Sticky Defense
Section titled “Sticky Defense”Requirements: Novice, Agility or Vigor d6+
When you are hit by a melee attack, you may spend a Benny to make an Athletics or Agility roll. On success the attacker is stuck to you or their weapon is fouled until they succeed on a Strength roll as a free action (or the end of their next turn).
Arcane Backgrounds
Section titled “Arcane Backgrounds”- Arcane Background (Magic) — Default for Candia (the Sugar Weave). Easiest via Sugar Weave Adept.
- Arcane Background (Weird Science) — Ideal for inventors and experimental confectioners.
- Arcane Background (Miracles) — Available via the Faith of the Shared Table or regional traditions. Still requires food-themed Trappings.
Other backgrounds require a strong concept and GM approval.
Campaign standard for Magic users: 15 Power Points and 3 starting powers.
Powers
Section titled “Powers”Any core SWADE power is allowed if given an appropriate food/candy Trapping.
Starting Magic users begin with 3 Novice powers.
Full mechanical text for powers lives in the SWADE core rulebook.
Trappings are mandatory. Creative, vivid descriptions earn Bennies.
