This headpiece allows the wearer to transform a damage-inflicting spell to a different elemental energy (e.g., changing a Fire attack to a Cold attack). Only spells that are memorized by the character (i.e., on the character card) are eligible. The only eligible energies are Cold, Fire, and Shock. This means a Cold spell could be transformed into Fire or Shock, Fire could be transformed into Cold or Shock, or Shock could be transformed into Cold or Fire.
Once per game, wearer may use one Special Power or Spell on their character card without marking its use off of the character card. It does not matter whether or not the box has already been checked. This item does not affect abilities which do not have a checkbox on the character card.
Crown of Expertise does not in any way alter the Action (Standard, Free, etc.) required for a spell to be cast or a power to be used.
