| 1d8 | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 | Ground-walking lightning. — Each character caught in the open makes a Reflex save (DC 15) once during the block. Failure: 2d6 lightning damage. Metal gear (firearms, tack and similar) imposes Disadvantage 1 on the save. |
| 2 | Rain falling upward. — No damage. Sight-based Perception checks and ranged attacks take Disadvantage 1 for the block. |
| 3 | Midday aurora, compasses spin. — Navigation DC +2 for the block; compasses are unreliable for the whole block. |
| 4 | Colored rain (red or green). — Anyone directly exposed and unprotected makes a Fortitude save (DC 10 + effective Leyline Strength). No damage; a failure rolls on the Aether Exposure table. |
| 5 | Sudden flash-freeze or flash-heat. — Sets the hex to H0 or H6 for the block. |
| 6 | Sound-eating silence. — All hearing-based Perception fails outright for the block. Stealth checks that rely on staying quiet gain Advantage 1; anything relying on sound cues can't be attempted. |
| 7 | Emotion-tide wind. — Each character makes a Charisma save (DC 12). On a failure, read the failed roll: odd gives Frightened 1, even gives Confused 1, either lasting 1 hour. |
| 8 | A visible tear in the sky on the horizon. — No immediate effect on travelers. The hex becomes a transient leyline at Strength 3 for the day, and the block's Encounter Roll draws from Aether-touched adversaries. |
