Initiate changes in the atmosphere to change the existing weather in the geographic region. The change possible is limited to Rank steps up or down in weather severity, and
1 step left or right in weather temperature according to the below chart. The temperature steps allowed increases to 2 steps at Rank 3, and 3 steps at Rank 5. See notes below the table'''

Notes:
* The Storyteller will decide how widespread the effect is, and how fast it occurs, though typically the more severe the shift, the longer it will take.
* The storms in the table below are a guideline of what type of weather would exist for that temperature and wind speed and while most of them include precipitation, the caster may choose precipitation or not which may change the condition away from what is indicated in the table at that severity and temperature.
 
Dev note:
* Just ballparked some weather effects in here. The exact manifestation should be up to the storyteller in terms of scope, etc... And specific effects like Tornadoes shouldn't be directed by the player, this is merely setting up the conditions for them, so they would probably spawn in the area and have story impact, but not tactical impact.
* I had 2 more temperatures on the scale to spread the steps apart left and right, and used Rank steps, but seemed too redundant/problematic. Condensed instead, and changed it to a 1/2/3 progression for steps. Fits better now.
