@AzureKnight: Thinking about it, I probably should make one.

I'll have it done in a bit.

I made a Zashiki-Warashi. It's wordy and a bit out there, but is she acceptable?

@Octo: I like the look of her, I just want to know how powerful the curses/blessings can get before I give the okay.

@VitaVitaARI have in mind that they can get pretty powerful with a large enough offering, but without an offering, it's basic stuff like "small misfortune: clumsiness" or "small fortune: fast recovery". Mundane things within the realm of possibility, percentage chances turned into near certainty depending on the size of the ask.

The power of an "offering" depends on various factors, such as the spiritual power of the offerer (when you make an offering with your soul, some of your energy goes with it. This powers her blessings and curses). The size of the offering is also important, but only relatively. If a poor child gave her their last cookie hoping for fortune, they may receive some moderate luck. If a rich kid with an abundance of sweets gave her ten cookies, he may only receive small fortune. Similarly, if one of her friends gives her all of their money with the expectation that Hina will work a miracle and then give it back, they'll receive only the minimal amount of fortune. They have to give with the expectation that they will never see that thing again.

Her fortunes become truly supernaturally powerful when a large enough offering is given by someone with an abundance of power with all of their heart. For instance, if a strong medium gave her a beloved keepsake from their now-deceased grandmother, she could grant that person immense luck for a long time, or curse an enemy powerfully.

Another factor is household. If she occupies a house, whether or not she gets offerings, she passively gains power from the daily lives of the household members (the more the better) and can routinely give them more powerful fortunes (but only them). A special effect of this method is that, if she then leaves that household, the occupants will be afflicted by severe misfortune proportional to the fortune they previously received.

I wanted to kind of simplify it for the sheet because it was already verbose, but this is how I envision the power working.

As for how intense exactly a blessing or a curse can be (if we consider that the client is powerful and sacrifices their most beloved pet or something equally immense) it should be something strong enough that the client couldn't do it on their own, or they'd just do the thing themselves. Largely, if an offering is given, the client tells her what they want and she'll put everything she's gotten from them towards making that thing happen. For immense curses or blessings, I don't mind if you just tell me how far I can go with it and that thing happens. These are just the guidelines, and Hina is mostly supporting.

@Rune_Alchemist I'm sure I've already learned that giving her attention is exactly what she wants.
