Spells

Alarm

   

Rarity	1	Distance	Near
AP	4	Lasts	One day per rank
Target	Area	Save

The mage makes a bargain with a minor elemental to keep watch over a place for a brief time. Any sentient creature who enters the alarmed area with a Disposition of neutral or worse towards the mage trips the alarm. When the mage and the elemental make their agreement, they also decide on the means of notification; the elemental may notify the mage about intruders telepathically, leaving the warded location and notifying the mage in person, or by making a loud noise at the location being watched. As long as the spell is in effect, the elemental continues to report intrusions. The size of the alarmed area is dependent on the Intensity.

When learning this spell, the mage must choose the specific element that is used when cast. A mage can learn this spell in different elemental schools, but must buy Spell skill ranks in each.

Intensity Effects

1. 10 foot radius (room)
2. 25 foot radius (campsite)
3. 50 foot radius (house)
4. 100 foot radius (mansion)
5. 300 foot radius (fortress)

Amplify

   

Rarity	1	Distance	Near
AP	4	Lasts	One minute per school rank
Target	Area	Save
Counter	Hush

Crank it up! The mage sends magical energy into the actual sound waves coming out of an object or area, in effect reaching in and pumping up the volume. This effect doesn't cause the sound to be any louder, instead it increases the distance the sound can cover. This spell is cast on an area, and covers a radius of 5 feet per school rank. It can be centered on a creature or object, and wherever the center goes, the Amplified effects go with it. The effect of this spell is that any Perception checks made to hear the sounds are at a reduced difficulty (so in effect, some distance penalties are removed).

Intensity Effects

1. Perception DL −2
2. Perception DL −4
3. Perception DL −6
4. Perception DL −8
5. Perception DL −10

Target	Creature	Save	Mind Control

AP	4	Lasts	1 hour per rank
Target	Creature	Save	Resilience

The mage alters himself or a willing target to duplicate the physical appearance of another humanoid, right down to the the sound of their voice and the smell of their hair (…creepy). The mage does not gain any of the original's memories or knowledge, so the mage must act or bluff his or her way out of sticky situations. This spell does not grant the ability to cause any significant changes to physiology: the target creature must be within 2 steps of Size of the intended form (e.g. it's impossible to disguise a firna as a juren).

Intensity Effects

1. +4 Disguise
2. +8 Disguise
3. +12 Disguise
4. +16 Disguise
5. +20 Disguise

Cure

This rule simply needs tweaking. It may be almost perfect, or it may need a bit of work. It's half-way in between sexy and in need of overhaul. Leave any ideas on the Talk page, please!

  

Rarity	1	Distance	Contact
AP	4	Lasts	N/A
Target	Creature	Save	Mettle

The radiant power of life which spring forth from the soul of a healer can purge the body of unnatural intrusions. A spirit artist who performs this art can remove the blinded, deafened, or muted condition, regardless of whether the condition was imposed by natural causes, a magic spell, or a spirit art. Cure can also remove any biological threat such as poison, drugs, or illness.

This spirit art cannot remove the blinded, deafened, or muted condition imposed by a fault purchased by the affected creature.

Concentration Effects

1. Size −1 and below
2. Size 1 and below

4. Size 5 and below
5. Any Size creature

2. Target takes −4 penalty
3. Target takes −6 penalty
4. Target takes −8 penalty
5. Target takes −10 penalty

Ear to the Ground

 

See Elemental Messenger.

Electric Fence

 

See Elemental Field.

Embrace of Gaeis

   

Rarity	3	Distance	N/A
AP	60	Lasts	From casting time until an hour after inside creatures awake
Target	N/A	Save

Calling upon the forces of magic for aid, the mage requests a safe haven for rest and recovery. The earth opens up and envelops the mage (and at certain Intensities, a number of his allies). The mage is effectively absorbed into an enclosed cave. The cave has enough oxygen to sustain those inside for an entire night, as well as food in the form of edible fungi, lichens, and roots. Phosphorescent vegetation provides soft light and the entire space is warm. After a full night's rest, the occupants find an open entranceway to leave. Once all occupants leave, the ground reseals itself. If the occupants do not leave within an hour of waking, they risk being buried alive as the cave reseals itself. The amount of people that can fit in the cave is dependent on the Intensity.

Intensity Effects

1. The mage alone
2. The mage and an extra being
3. The mage and three beings
4. The mage and six beings
5. The mage and ten beings

Encase in Ice

 

See Stay Put.

Encase in Stone

This rule simply needs to be tested. It may be almost perfect, or it may need a bit of work. We think it's pretty good, but it hasn't been really tested. Leave any feedback on the Talk page, please!

   

Rarity	4	Distance	Near
AP	4	Lasts	Permanent
Target	Creature	Save	Resilience

The mage turns a creature into solid rock. Only creatures composed of organic matter can be affected by this spell (e.g. flesh, wood, chitin). A mage can petrify a creature whether it be living, dead, or undead. For the target, this process seems like falling asleep. If a petrified creature is Reverted, any damage sustained while petrified persists. Any person that takes their HP in damage while petrified dies, and any attempts to Revert the spell will fail. The size of the targeted creature depends on the Intensity.

Intensity Effects

1. Size −2 and below (how do you think they make garden gnomes?)
2. Size 0 and below (most humanoids)
3. Size 3 and below (…and the horse they rode in on)
4. Size 6 and below (T. Rex? more like T. Rocks!)
5. Any size creature (how they really built the Colossus of Rhodes)

Eternal Fire

  

Rarity	1	Distance	Near
AP	4	Lasts	Permanent
Target	Object (flammable)	Save

The mage calls upon the spirit of fire to create an illusory ever-burning flame, one that consumes no oxygen and gives off no heat, just simply flickering firelight. Burning torches in dungeons are prime examples of Eternal Fire spells. This spell requires an object on which to cast the flame – one that would normally be required for a mundane fire (for instance, a candle, a torch, etc.) This fire lasts until Counterspelled.

Intensity Effects

1. Create a candle-sized flame
2. Create a torch-sized flame
3. Create a small cooking fire-sized flame
4. Create a campfire-sized flame
5. Create a bonfire-sized flame

False Sound

  

Rarity	1	Distance	Medium
AP	4	Lasts	1 round per rank
Target	Area	Save	Lucidity

This spell creates an illusion to distract opponents: sight, sound, smell, or any combination of the three. Anything the caster imagines can come to life. So long as they concentrate on it, the caster can even change the illusion as they see fit while the spell persists. Any targets within an area of a 5 foot radius per rank must make a Lucidity save. A target that passes its save doesn't perceive the illusion at all (and confusion will set in as its friends ask "Hey, did you see that?"). The idea is that if a target believes a false sight or sound, they will be at a disadvantage to notice other things, taking a penalty to subsequent Perception checks. "Huh? What was that noise? Better go check it out."

Intensity Effects

1. A minor distraction, like mice squeaking, or a bird flying past. Targets take −2 to Perception checks.
2. A moderate distraction, like smelling the garbage behind a tavern, or a dog barking. Targets take −4 to Perception checks.
3. A strong distraction, like an apparition floating down a hallway, or many people singing. Targets take −6 to Perception checks.
4. A very strong distraction, like a militia marching by, or a whiff of rotting flesh. Targets take −8 to Perception checks.
5. An inescapable distraction, like a clap of thunder, a roaring dragon, or the local drunk screaming and running nude across the town green. Targets take −10 to Perception checks.

Flare

   

Rarity	1	Distance	Far
AP	4	Lasts	N/A
Target	N/A	Save	Stamina

The mage calls upon the spirit of fire to bring forth a burst of fire and light. The mage can use this Flare to signal friends, or blind foes, or even cover your escape. The flare may be launched into the sky as a signal or ignited at close range. The intensity of the flare is dependent on the Intensity.

Intensity Effects

1. Create a finger-sized signal flare, visible at a distance of 1 mile at night. If not launched, causes an annoying green blob in the vision of everyone with their eyes open (onlookers lose 1 AP for one round).
2. Creates a bottle-sized signal flare, visible at a distance of 10 miles at night. If not launched, it blinds everyone with their eyes open for two rounds.
3. Creates a basketball-sized signal flare, visible at a distance of 20 miles at night. If not launched, blinds everyone with their eyes open for 30 seconds.
4. Creates a torso-sized signal flare, visible at a distance of 50 miles at night. If not launched, it blinds everyone with their eyes open for one minute.
5. Creates a bolder-sized signal flare, and can be seen from 100 miles. If not launched, it blinds everyone with their eyes open for five minutes.

Fly

  

Rarity	1	Distance	Self
AP	4	Lasts	1 minute per rank
Target	Self	Save

The spirit artist can take to the skies and travel on thin air by soaring along the fabric of spirit power that blankets the universe. Those who perform this spirit art can hover in place and move in any direction at their normal movement Speed.

If the duration of this spirit art elapses while the performer is airborne, he drifts to the ground at a safe speed. If the effects are removed by the Realign or the Ground spirit art, he plummets to the earth and takes normal falling damage.

Concentration Effects

Each level of Concentration grants a higher bonus to Dash checks while airborne.

1. +4 bonus to Dash
2. +8 bonus to Dash
3. +12 bonus to Dash
4. +16 bonus to Dash
5. +20 bonus to Dash

Frost Brand

 

See Elemental Weaponry.

Haste

   

Rarity	2	Distance	Medium
AP	4	Lasts	Two rounds per rank
Target	Creature	Save	Mettle
Counter	Slow

The mage lights a fire under somebody's rear and makes them a celerity celebrity. In all regards, the target speeds up: mentally and physically. To the target, the world seems to be slowed down. While Hastened, the target gains additional Action Points relative to the Intensity.

Intensity Effects

1. +1 Action Point
2. +2 Action Points
3. +3 Action Points
4. +4 Action Points
5. +5 Action Points

Harden/Soften Earth

  

Rarity	1	Distance	Near
AP	4	Lasts	N/A
Target	Earth	Save

The mage wills a mass of earth, whether solid rock or gooey mud to either soften or harden respectively. When softened, the earth has the consistency of watery mud, which is extremely slippery. If the mage hardens soft earth with creatures inside, they'll be trapped but not crushed. If entirely submerged, they'll suffocate. The type of material that can be liquefied or solidified depends on Intensity. The area that can be affected is 10 foot radius and 1 foot depth per school rank (so a mage with 5 ranks could melt a 50 foot radius that is 5 feet deep).

Intensity Effects

1. The mage can turn mud to sand or dirt and vice versa
2. The mage can turn mud to shale and vice versa
3. The mage can turn mud to hard stone and vice versa
4. The mage can turn mud to granite and vice versa
5. The mage can turn mud to crystal and vice versa

Hush

   

Rarity	1	Distance	Near
AP	4	Lasts	One minute per spell rank
Target	Area	Save
Counter	Amplify

Turn that Guns n' Butter Down! Just the opposite of the sound spell Amplify, Dampening a sound magically draws energy from the sound waves of an object or area, in effect reaching in and turning down the volume. This effect doesn't cause the sound to be any quieter, instead it decreases the distance the sound can cover. This spell is cast on an area, and covers a radius of 5 feet per school rank. It can be centered on a creature or object, and wherever the center goes, the Hushed effects go with it. The effect of this spell is that any Perception checks made to hear the sounds are at a greater difficulty (so in effect, distance penalties are increased).

Intensity Effects

1. Perception DL +2
2. Perception DL +4
3. Perception DL +6
4. Perception DL +8
5. Perception DL +10

Ice Wall

 

See Barrier.

Immolate

 

See Dangerous Body.

Lightning Bolt

  

Rarity	3	Distance	Far
AP	4	Lasts	N/A
Target	Creature	Save	Guard Roll

The mage chooses a creature in the distance where a bolt of lightning strikes. On a critical success for the Attack Roll, this bolt arcs to a nearby creature (and futher arc for subsequent critical successes). Anyone within this field of lightning must make a Guard roll to avoid damage. If a creature is struck by the bolt, it takes a small amount of damage and is slowed by the paralytic properties of the electricity. The creature is considered Stunned and acts last in the initiative order.

Intensity Effects

1. +2 Spell Attack (Electricity)
2. +4 Spell Attack (Electricity)
3. +6 Spell Attack (Electricity)
4. +8 Spell Attack (Electricity)
5. +10 Spell Attack (Electricity)

Lightning Brand

Live Wire

Lock

   

Rarity	2	Distance	Near
AP	4	Lasts	2 rounds per rank
Target	Object	Save

Keep your enemies at bay or open the door from your easy chair. The mage uses the flows of magnetism to shut and seal or unlock and open any lock, latch, or entranceway. Doors and windows aren't the only things that can be locked or unlocked — manacles, chests, a portcullis, gate, or drawbridge are also prime candidates for this spell.

As a defensive (locking) spell, each level of Intensity grants a bonus to the Casting Roll. The result of the roll determines the Machinery DL needed to bypass the lock. As an offensive (unlocking) spell, the spell must be cast at the same Intensity as the lock in place (non-magical locks count as Intensity 1) and instantly undoes it.

When learning this spell, the mage must choose the specific element that is used when cast. A mage can learn this spell in different elemental schools, but must buy Spell skill ranks in each. If this spell is cast using the Metal element, the locking mechanism or entranceway must be metallic.

Intensity Effects

1. +2 to Machinery DL versus opening. Can be used to automatically unlock non-magical locks, and magic locks of Intensity 1.
2. +4 to DL. Can be used to unlock magic locks of Intensity 2.
3. +6 to DL. Can be used to unlock magic locks of Intensity 3.
4. +8 to DL. Can be used to unlock magic locks of Intensity 4.
5. +10 to DL. Can be used to unlock magic locks of Intensity 5.

Lullaby

   

Rarity	2	Distance	Medium
AP	4	Lasts	1 minute per rank
Target	Area	Save	Mettle

The mage makes a call to Mr. Sandman to escort targets to the land of nod. Creatures targeted by this spell are slapped by magic that instantly exhausts them and forces them to fall into peaceful sleep. Creatures capable of standing and sleeping (e.g. horses) fall asleep where they stand, but for the most part, the target will fall down, releasing anything carried. Sleep is cast on an area, and any vulnerable creatures within must save or pass out. A target creature must fit entirely in the area of effect (e.g. you're not gonna fit an elephant into that 5′ circle, friend). Any creature immune to the unconscious condition can't be sedated by this spell.

Intensity Effects

1. 5 ft radius
2. 10 ft radius
3. 15 ft radius
4. 20 ft radius
5. 25 ft radius

Mental Ward

  

Rarity	2	Distance	Contact
AP	4	Lasts	1 minute per spell rank
Target	Creature	Save

This spell grants a creature a mind of steel. The recipient of a Mental Ward is immune to any Compulsory spell.

Intensity Effects

The Intensity at which Mental Ward is cast is effective against charms of the same Intensity or lower.

Morse Cold

 

See Elemental Messenger.

Remove Paralysis

   

Rarity	3	Distance	Contact
AP	4	Lasts	N/A
Target	Creature	Save	Resilience

The mage can hit the undo button on spells with a Mutative essence. Revert can be cast on any creature currently suffering the effects of a Mutative spell. The opposite powers cancel each other out, and the Mutative spell immediately ends.

The power of this spell is meant to return a creature to its original form, so it only works on spells which alter a creature, not transport it (Return to Sender is what Banish is for). Additionally, this spell cannot be used to counter a Mutative spell being cast.

Intensity Effects

The Revert spell must be cast at the same Intensity or higher as the Mutative spell to be countered.

Ride the Lightning

Rock and Roll

Rock Rehab

 

See Elemental Healing.

Rocket Boots

  

Rarity	2	Distance	Contact
AP	4	Lasts	1 minute per rank
Target	Creature	Save	Resilience

The fire mage expels his inner mana, shooting out jets of fire from the bottom of his feet and hands. If the mage is in flight when the spell ends, the spell is dispelled, or the effect is subject to a Spell Ward, he plummets to the ground, taking 1 point of damage per foot fallen (subject to a Guard Roll). While the Fly spell lets the mage float gently to the ground, Rocket Boots allows for no such protection. Instead, it allows for a greater bonus to Dash checks.

Intensity Effects

1. +4 bonus to Dash. The target needs to take a 10 foot running start to take off. The target tilts his or her body to the side to turn.
2. +8 bonus to Dash. As Intensity 1, but the target can take off at will.
3. +12 bonus to Dash.
4. +16 bonus to Dash. As Intensity 3, but the target can hover.
5. +20 bonus to Dash. The target has full maneuverability and can move in any direction, including backwards or to the side.

Sicken

  

Rarity	1	Distance	Medium
AP	4	Lasts	2 rounds per rank
Target	Creature	Save	Vitality

The spirit artist grabs at the threads of fate bound to a creature and yanks hard. The target's body is wracked with shooting pain and waves of nausea. Sicken keeps the target physically subdued for its duration, potentially knocking them out cold.

Concentration Effects

1. Severity 1: blocking 1 stage of the Knockout Track
2. Severity 2: blocking 2 stages of the Knockout Track
3. Severity 3: blocking 3 stages of the Knockout Track
4. Severity 4 blocking 4 stages of the Knockout Track
5. Severity 5: blocking 5 stages of the knockout Track

Sleep

   

Rarity	2	Distance	Medium
AP	4	Lasts	1 minute per rank
Target	Area	Save	Mettle

The mage makes a call to Mr. Sandman to escort targets to the land of nod. Creatures targeted by this spell are slapped by magic that instantly exhausts them and forces them to fall into peaceful sleep. Creatures capable of standing and sleeping (e.g. horses) fall asleep where they stand, but for the most part, the target will fall down, releasing anything carried. Sleep is cast on an area, and any vulnerable creatures within must save or pass out. A target creature must fit entirely in the area of effect (e.g. you're not gonna fit an elephant into that 5′ circle, friend). Any creature immune to the unconscious condition can't be sedated by this spell.

Rarity	1	Distance	Medium
AP	4	Lasts	2 rounds per rank
Target	Creature	Save	Mettle

The spirit artist reconfigures a creature's flow of qi to throttle the life force within, imposing slowed responses and snail-like speed. As a result, the hindered creature takes much longer than the rest of us to perceive events, make decisions, and complete actions.

Each level of Concentration deprives the target of additional Action Points.

1. −1 Action Point

Sound Ward

   

Rarity	3	Distance	Medium
AP	4	Lasts	One minute per spell rank
Target	Area	Save

When Sound Ward is cast on an area, anything that would normally cause sound in that area does not. Sounds entering the warded area from outside dissipate as soon as they reach the ward. As soon as people or objects leave a Sound Warded area, they resume making sounds. The radius of the ward is based on the Intensity.

Intensity Effects

2. 10 feet
3. 15 feet
4. 20 feet
5. 25 feet

Spell Ward

  

Rarity	4	Distance	Medium
AP	4	Lasts	2 rounds per spell rank
Target	Area	Save

The area covered by a Spell Ward is completely immune to Magic spells of the Intensity cast and lower (for instance, an Intensity 3 Spell Ward negates all Intensity 3 spells, but not Intensity 4 or 5). A Spell Ward can only be removed by casting Nullify Magic. A Spell Ward covers an area of 10 foot radius per school rank (e.g. a caster with 5 ranks in this spell can cast a 50-foot radius Spell Ward). Magic objects and active spells temporarily cease to function while in a Spell Ward, however they resume functioning normally when the spell ends or when they leave the area of effect. A creature who is inside of a Spell Ward cannot cast spells. A Spell Ward can be centered on a creature or object, and wherever the center goes, the Spell Ward goes along with it.

Intensity Effects

The Intensity at which Spell Ward is cast is effective against spells of the same Intensity or lower.

Rarity	2	Distance	Near
AP	4	Lasts	N/A
Target	Creature	Save	Resilience

The mage uses powerful electromagnetism to forcibly and quickly snatch an object from a creature's possession. This can be used to deprive someone of their clothes, backpack, armor, sword, shield, kitten, or lunch (uneaten). The mage makes an Attack Roll using the Magic weapon skill. If the target fails its Dodge Roll, the mage makes a Casting Roll, and the target makes a Resilience save. If multiple layers of armor are worn, the spell must be cast for each of them. For instance, a character can wear brigandine over mail. If the mage casts the spell once, the brigandine is removed leaving the mail armor; casting a spell a second time will remove the mail armor as well. Undoing the fasteners on a suit of armor or other worn object causes it to be completely removed during the round in which the spell is cast. Magic armor and similar objects can add their magic enchantment bonus to the creature's Resilience roll.

If cast from the Metal school, this spell is known as   Unbuckle. A metal mage can undo ties that bind: buckles, buttons, snaps, zippers, and other metal fastenings. This can be used to deprive someone of a worn item so long as the fasteners that hold these objects in place, or the objects themselves are metallic. Many pieces of clothing are held on with metal fasteners, as well (however, this is up to the poverty level, availability of metals to the culture, etc.) This spell cannot be used to open locks, doors, or latches nor can it be used on non-metallic fastenings (such as leather lacing).

Intensity Effects

1. +1 bonus to the Casting Roll
2. +2 bonus
3. +3 bonus
4. +4 bonus
5. +5 bonus

Summon Elemental

  

Rarity	2	Distance	Near
AP	4	Lasts	2 rounds per spell rank
Target	N/A	Save	Resilience

The mage makes extra-dimensional contact with an elemental. If the roll fails, the elemental doesn't appear. If the roll is botched, the elemental comes after the mage! Elementals, like all summoned entities, can be Banished back to their origin.

When learning this spell, the mage must choose the specific element that is used when cast. A mage can learn this spell in different elemental schools, but must buy Spell skill ranks in each.

Intensity Effects

1. Summon Least Elemental
2. Summon Lesser Elemental
3. Summon Greater Elemental
4. Summon Major Elemental
5. Summon Arch-Elemental

Thunder

   

Rarity	2	Distance	Far
AP	4	Lasts	N/A
Target	Area	Save	Stamina

The mage summons a blast of noise with his or her commanding presence. It rumbles the area, causing deafness and knocking creatures to the ground. A harmless flash of light accompanies this devastating effect. Creatures in the area must save against Deafness and make a Gymnastics check against the spell roll to keep from falling down under the shock of the sound waves. Deafness lasts one hour per spell rank.
