Racial Cost: 35 points
The Vaikaulsk (pronounced Vy-kollsk) are the descendants of humans and void nymphs (Lampads). Vaikaulsk have low internal temperatures, with skin that feels cold to the touch. Their hair color varies in temperature, ranging from black to light blue, but is also influenced by emotion. As their emotions grow stronger, their hair color lightens, first to purple, then through dark to light blue. Vaikaulsk skin can resemble human skin, but some will have skin colors of blue or may appear to almost have an absence of color. Vaikaulsk have deep blue eyes that may faintly glow in the dark (they can dampen this feature by concentrating).

Special Vaikaulsk Traits
*Cold Flame Hair: When your emotions are riled up, your hair burns with a cool, blue flame equivalent to torchlight, eliminating darkness penalties in a two-yard radius. You must make a Will roll to suppress this effect.
*Freezing Fingers: You can emit a cold, candle-sized flame from a finger. This can ignite lanterns, fuses, etc., and does up to 1d-2 cold damage. Reach C. Vaikaulsk may buy Long Freezing Fingers for an additional 2 points. This increases damage to 1d cold. Cold flames that come into contact with heat are snuffed out.
*Innate Ley Connection: Vaikaulsk are innately connected to magical ley lines. At character creation, they begin with access to black magic (yǔm). If a Vaikaulsk begins play with Power 12+, they also have a natural connection to blue magic (huchh).
I should probably add something here.
