Spells

Alarm

This spell has a warding essence This spell can be powered by any element This is a sound spell 
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)

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).

False Sound

This spell has a illusory essence This is a dark spell 
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.

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

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

Lock

This spell has a mutative essence This is a electricity spell This is a metal spell 
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

This spell has a stygian essence This is a ruin spell This is a status spell 
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

Remove Paralysis

This spell has a mutative essence This is a status spell This is a light spell 
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.

Sicken

This spirit art is in the way of the form This is a eroding spirit art 

Rarity 1 Distance Medium
AP 4 Lasts 2 rounds per rank

  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

Spell Ward

This spell has a warding essence This is a ruin spell 
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.

Strip

This spell has a mutative essence This is a electricity spell This is a metal spell 
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 This is a metal spell  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).
