I Weave An Aura of…

…Armor

1 Energy Points

This spell gives the character an additional 3 Armor Points.

These extra 3 Armor Points are the first Armor Points lost when the character is damaged.

Duration: Latent

…Stamina

1 Energy Point

This spell gives the character an additional 3 Body Points.

These extra 3 Body Points are the first points lost when the character’s Body Points are damaged, but otherwise act as normal Body Points.

Duration: Latent

…Defense

1 Energy Points

When invoked, this spell reduces the result of any damaging spell to one half.

It has no effect against non-damage effect spells such as Sleep or Drain Magic.

A Kill spell is reduced to doing half the target’s full Body Points, rounded up, minimum of two. This spell will halve the effects of a Life spell cast upon a character hurt by the element of Life, if the character is intelligent enough to invoke it.

If the character drops to 0 or -1 Body Points they are Bleeding to Death, not at the Brink of Death.

Duration: Latent

Spell Verbal: I Weave a Protective Aura of…

…Vigilance

3 Energy Points

When invoked, this spell gives protection against certain specific attacks:

It prevents a Waylay with 3 or fewer points of damage from rendering the target unconscious and taking damage and it leaves the target of a Slay or an Assassinate skill with half their current Body Points.

However, if direct body damage was done by the weapon, then any blade poisons on the weapon take effect.

Vigilance has no effect against any other form of attack, magical or non-magical, including a Waylay that does 4 or more points of damage.

Duration: Latent

…Negation

3 Energy Points

When invoked, this spell completely cancels the effects of one spell cast upon the character.

A Negation will stop spell like effects such as those from Nature Magic and Spell Songs normally.

Duration: Latent

…Reflection

3 Energy Points

When invoked, Reflection turns a spell back upon its caster.

If the caster also has a Reflection spell and chooses to invoke it, then the spell is reflected back upon the target again. If the original target still has some other appropriate form of defense against spells they may then invoke it.

A Reflection will stop magical spell like effects including those from Nature Magic and Spell Songs, but in these cases, while the spell is stopped, the spell is not redirected back at the caster.

For purposes of determining who the caster of a reflected spell is, the character that last used the reflection is considered the caster. For example, a character is hit with a Paralysis spell, they invoke a Reflection spell and the original caster is now paralyzed, and the original defending character can remove the Paralysis spell by touch since they are now considered the caster.

Duration: Latent

Spell Verbal: I Create a Magical…

…Attachment

1 Energy Point

This spell attaches an object that weighs no more than 10 pounds to another object.

The caster must touch both objects during the casting of the spell. If more than 10 pounds of force is applied to the Attachment, it will break. For example, a bottle could have an Attachment to a staff, but an Attachment could not be used to fix a rope to a wall so a character could swing across a chasm.

You cannot cast multiple Attachment spells on an object.

This spell is not a combat spell. Attachment is represented out-of-game by duct tape, but the caster is responsible for supplying the duct tape to attach the objects.

Duration: 30 Minutes

…Pin

1 Energy Point

The spell attaches the right foot of the target character to the ground.
The target can pivot on their right foot, but cannot lift it or move it.

A character can break a Pin with a +3 or more Strength Bonus and taking 5 seconds to complete.

There is a visible effect to this spell, and it is obvious to any one looking if the character is free or not.

Duration 1 Minute

Spell Verbal: I Create a Magical Seal That Will…

…Bind

3 Energy Points

This spell attaches both of the target’s feet to the ground and both of the target’s arms to their sides.
A Bind spell makes both spell casting and combat impossible.

A bound character cannot be moved since their feet are attached to the ground, and if they are holding something in their hands, they cannot release it. Another player can remove an item from the target’s hand(s), but doing so requires a +3 or more Strength Bonus and frees the target’s arms. A bound character cannot be given a Killing Blow, provided that the character can still twist around.

A Bind spell can be partially broken with a +3 or more Strength Bonus. It takes 5 seconds to free either the character’s arms or legs or 10 seconds to free both. If the character uses a Giant Strength spell to free themselves it would require two spells – the act of breaking either the arms or legs free counts as one action.

There is a visible effect to this spell, and it is obvious to any one looking if the character is free or not.

Duration: 1 Minute

…Lock

3 Energy Points

This spell will seal a door, hold an object in place or attach an object to another object.

A Lock spell can be represented Out of Game by duct tape, but the caster is responsible for supplying the duct tape to attach the objects.

This spell will not work on a character. An object cannot be attached to a character and a character cannot be attached to anything.

A Lock spell can be broken with +3 or more Strength Bonus such as by invoking a Giant Strength spell. If an object under the effects of a Lock spell is destroyed, then the spells ends.

Duration: 12 Hours

Spell Verbal: I Charm You to…

…Fumble “right or left hand”

1 Energy Point

This spell causes the target character to drop everything In Game they are holding in a specified hand.

The target must let go completely, allowing all the items in that hand to fall to the ground. The caster of the Fumble must specify which hand is affected with an out-of-game comment when the spell packet hits the target; e.g., “I Charm You to Fumble… Right Hand”.

If an item is attached to a character by some means other than a physical grip, then that item is not dropped; for example, a sword that is glued to a character’s hand with a Paste of Stickiness or locked with a Lock spell would stay in the character’s hand even though the character releases their grip.
The Disarm skill cannot be used as a Retain against the Fumble spell.

If you are the target of a Fumble spell, then after you have let go of everything you are holding in one hand, you may then bend down and pick it up.
You may not bend down, let your hand relax, then immediately grab an item and straighten up. You must let everything in your hand drop, and then bend down to pick it up.

Duration: Instant

…Speak the truth

 1 Energy Point

This spell causes the targeted character’s answer to the next question the caster – and only the caster – asks to be direct and truthful.
The target can choose not to speak, but if they do speak it must be the truthful answer to the caster’s question.

If the caster does not ask a question before 5 minutes have elapsed, the spell expires. Only the caster of the spell can ask the question; the target can still respond to questions from others but the target does not have to speak the truth.

Speak the Truth only lasts for the first sentence of an answer to the question. If the question is phrased in such a way that a simple answer can be given, then the target must state the simple, true answer. If the question is phrased such that only a long answer can be given, then the caster should only trust the first sentence.

For example, “Did you kill the Duke?” has a simple answer; “What was your plan to kill the Duke?” may take more than a single sentence to answer.

Duration: Special

Spell Verbal: I Charm You to Obey and…

…Be Dazzled

3 Energy Points

The target character of this spell is affected by a Torso Stun for 5 seconds.

The target should count slowly out of game, “One dazzle, two dazzle…” slowly up to five.

Duration: 5 Seconds

…Resist Suggestion

3 Energy Points

This spell cancels the effect of one spell from the Charms School.

It is ineffective against all other forms of mental control, Hypnosis, Dust of Sleep, Fear Affects, Vampire Charm, etc. for example.

Unlike most latent spells, Resist Suggestion does not have to be announced when it is invoked; there is no characteristic flash of light when this defense is used. A player with a Resist Suggestion spell knows which Charm spell has been cast on them and can decide whether to invoke it based on that information.

You must invoke your Resist Suggestion immediately after being hit with the charm spell. You cannot be affected by a Speak the Truth spell then invoke the Resist Suggestion spell after hearing the question being asked and decide not to answer truthfully.

If a character invokes Resist Suggestion in a manner that is not immediately obvious, they should consult with a Marshal to confirm that the spell was used.

For example, if a character uses Resist Suggestion against an Enslave spell but is still pretending to be affected, or if a character resists a Speak the Truth spell during an interrogation, a Marshal should be informed.

The caster of a Resist Suggestion may record the spell on the target characters Spell Defense Card so that the player has proof that they could invoke it.

Duration: Latent

…Be Silent and Mute

3 Energy Points

The target character of this spell cannot speak. This means the target cannot use any spells, skills or abilities that require an in-game verbal. Remember, the use of latent spells, magic items, and weapon damage does not require the player to speak in-game, and is not affected by this spell. This spell lasts until a Dispel Magic or a Heal Limb spell is cast.

The target of this spell is still under their own free will and therefore not cut off from their faith based skills.

Duration: 6 Hours

…Fall Asleep

5 Energy Points

This spell causes the target character to fall asleep.

The character will wake up before the 10 minute duration has elapsed if they take a point of damage. The character may be given a Killing Blow while asleep.

Duration: 10 Mintues

…Be Enslaved

5 Energy Points

This spell causes the target character to obey all the caster’s commands.

A character affected by an Enslaved spell will commit suicide or attack their friends at the caster’s command. However, the enslaved character will act without emotions or self determination; you should roleplay your enslavement so that it is obvious to everyone that the spell has been cast on your character.

An enslaved character cannot obey commands that require independent thought or initiative, such as “Solve this riddle for me,” or “Figure out a plan to kill the princess.” The character must do exactly as they are instructed; they cannot initiate conversation, take independent action, or act in any way in their best interests. If asked a question they will answer truthfully for they have no desire to protect themselves. If ordered to attack another character they will do so to the best of their abilities. They can be given contingent commands such as “Kill anyone entering the room,” “Go to the inn and kill the Duke if he is there or wait there and kill him when he enters,” or “Go find the Baron of the Dale and give him this missive.”

The enslaved character will never attack the caster of this spell while they are still under the spell’s effects.

After the spell wears off, the character will remember everything that occurred while they were enslaved, including the identity of the caster of the spell.

Duration: 30 Mintues

Spell Verbal: I Call Upon Darkness to…

…Feign Death

1 Energy Point

This spell will make the target character look pale; their skin will be cold to the touch and their pulse and breath will be unperceivable and to most observations, they will appear to be dead.

A Detect Life spell, Assess Your Ailment spell or First Aid will not reveal that the character is alive. Feign Death will allow a character to impersonate an undead; the illusion of death is destroyed if the target character takes any offensive actions or engages in combat, but not if they are attacked.

Duration: 5 Minutes

…Cause Harm

1 Energy Point

This spell does 6 points of magical direct body damage.

Duration: Instant

Spell Verbal: I Call Upon Darkness and Terror to…

…Weaken

5 Energy Points

This spell causes the target character to deal no more than 1 point of damage with all martial attacks regardless of their Damage Bonus or Strength Bonus.

This spell does not affect special weapon attacks like the Slay skill, Assassinate skill, Stun skill, etc. For skills that modify damage, the base weapon damage is always 1. For example, if a weakened character uses a Critical Attack skill, they will deal 2 points of damage. Similarly, a weakened character will only Waylay dealing 1 point of damage.

A character will lose all Strength Bonuses for the duration of this spell.

Duration: 5 Minutes

…Maim

5 Energy Points

This spell does 18 points of magical direct body damage.

 Duration: Instant

…Take Your Sight

5 Energy Points

This spell causes the target character to be unable to see for 1 minute or until they are healed.

A Heal Limb spell or effect can be used to restore their sight. While blinded a character cannot make any melee attacks unless they have the Blind Fighting skill. They can close their eyes and throw a spell “blind”. They can use their weapons to attempt to block attacks directed at them, so long as their eyes are closed and do not attempt to swing their weapon around wildly. They are able to use any passive defensive skills they have, such as Martial Parry, Critical Parry, Negation spell, etc. Even if a character has the Blind Fighting skill, they cannot use the True Aim or Perfect Aim skills.

When you role-play the effects of a Take Your Sight spell, you can close your eyes.
However, take care if you are on rough terrain or in a room with sharp furniture. It is better to keep your eyes open and be safe than it is to roleplay your character’s blindness convincingly.

This spell damages the eyes of the target character so, like other damaging spells, the caster cannot remove their own spell nor can any other character dispel these effects, the target character must be healed.

Duration: 1 Minute

…Cause Agony LOST!

Lost Magic
5 Power Points

This Lost Magic spell causes the target character intense pain for 5 seconds during which time the character must fall to the ground and can take no other actions except to invoke latent spell defenses.

This spell can be cured with a Heal Body or Dispel Magic spell.

Duration: 5 Seconds

Spell Verbal: I Call Upon Darkness and Terror to…

…Drain Life

3 Energy Points

This spell does 12 points of magical direct body damage and heals the caster for the amount of damage done by the spell.

If the target had 12 Body Points or more, then 12 Body Points are transferred to the caster; if the target has less than 12 Body Points, then only the amount the target has are transferred. The caster cannot be healed to more than their normal Body Point limit.

This spell has no effect when cast on an undead character. If an undead character casts this spell, the target takes 12 Body Points of damage, but the undead is not healed.

 Duration: Instant

…Cripple

3 Energy Points

This spell does 32 points of magical direct body damage.

Duration: Instant

…Enfeeble Your Mind

3 Energy Points

This spell causes the target character to lose all intelligence; they cannot use any skills, spells, invoke latent spells, invoke magic items or take any defensive actions.

An Enfeebled character effectively becomes a being with a shriveled brain, unintelligible and useless.

This effect lasts for 5 minutes or until healed with a heal mind effect. The Dispel Magic spell has no effect on this spell.

Duration: 5 Minutes; Until Healed

Spell Verbal: With Pure Magic I Cast a…

…Shock

1 Energy Point

This spell does 8 points of magical damage due to lightning.

Duration: Instant

…Giant Strength

1 Energy Point

When invoked, this spell grants the character a temporary +3 Strength Bonus, Non-Combinable allowing the character to add +3 to the weapon damage of their next attack, or to perform one act of giant strength for no longer than 15 seconds.

If the character normally calls “Two Damage” when they hit, if they invoke a Giant Strength they would call “Five Damage”. If the character fails to hit, they do not use up the Giant Strength spell.

This spell can never be used to increase the distance a character jumps.

Duration: Latent

Spell Verbal: With Pure Magic I Cast a…

…Lightning Shield
3 Energy Points

When invoked, this spell will cancel the effects of one Enchantments School spell.

The Lightning Shield spell will also negate one blow from a weapon that does normal or magical lighting or electrical damage, but will not stop special damaging martial attacks such as the Slay, Critical Strike, Stun, Assassinate, etc. skills. A Lightning Shield will protect against extreme non-magical lightning or electricity for 5 seconds.

 Duration: Latent

…Lightning Bolt
3 Energy Points

This spell does 24 points of magical damage due to lightning.

Duration: Instant

…Magic Weapon
3 Energy Points

This spell can only be cast on a weapon.

If you hold the weapon, you can invoke this spell, which causes the next weapon attack done by the weapon to be magical.

The Magic Weapon spell does not add any damage to the blow. The attacker must add, “Magic”, to the damage done by the weapon when invoking the spell; for example, “Two Magic”. The Magic Weapon spell only lasts for one blow, but if an attacker fails to hit their target the spell is not used up. Magic Weapon can be combined with any other combat skill such as Waylay, Slay, Assassinate, Critical Attack, etc.

This spell can be invoked and used with the Dissection skill to harvest a component from another character. This spell will last for 1 minute, but should the dissection be interrupted, the spell ends and must be recast.

This spell can never be invoked as a defense to the Shatter or Blast spells, nor does it give the weapon any properties of a magic weapon except what is listed here.

…Mighty Shatter <name of item>

3 Energy Points

This spell will destroy a non-magical object of One-Handed Edge size or smaller.

The name of the item that the caster wishes to shatter is an Out Of Game comment that the caster says when the spell packet hits a target, for example, “With Pure Magic I Cast a Shatter… sword.” If the character is carrying more than one weapon in their hands, the caster can specify which weapon or hand is affected; if the caster does not specify then the target can choose which hand is affected.

The object that is being shattered must be visible to the caster; the caster cannot shatter a spell book completely contained within a pouch even if the caster knows that a spell book is there. This spell will not affect part of an object – a piece of the object that will damage or destroy it by removing the part Out Of Game. For example, you could not destroy: the hinge on a box, the branch of a tree, a lock built into a box, the leg of a small stool, the doorknob of a door, etc. You can destroy: a box, a branch on the ground, a Master Lock on a box, a small stool, etc.

Clothing worn by a player can never be shattered with this spell; this includes: shirts, pants, belts, pouches, hats, shoes, etc. You can destroy jewelry or other things attached to the clothing such as: rings, bangles, necklaces, pins, etc. Armor cannot be shattered by means of this spell. No shield, regardless of size, can be shattered.

If any weapon or item card was associated with the shattered item, the card should be torn in two.
An item that has been shattered is broken into too many pieces to be collected.

Please inform a Marshal so that the treasure database can be updated to reflect this change in the object’s status.

Duration: Instant

Spell Verbal: With Pure Magic I Cast an Unyielding…

…Powerful Blast <item>
5 Energy Points

This spell will destroy a non-magical object of door size or smaller.

The name of the item that the caster wishes to blast is an Out Of Game comment that the caster says when the spell packet hits a target, for example, “With Pure Magic I Cast a Powerful Blast… door” or “With Pure Magic I Cast a Powerful Blast… Polearm.”

In all other respects, this spell obeys the same rules as the Shatter <item> spell except any shield can be affected by the Blast spell.

Duration: Instant

…Electrocution
5 Energy Points

This spell does 40 points of magical damage due to lightning.

Duration: Instant

…Magic Sanctuary
5 Energy Points

This spell creates a skin-tight impenetrable barrier around the caster. The Magic Sanctuary spell protects the caster from all attacks, spells, and alchemical items; and provides the caster with clean air.

Neither the Dispel Magic nor Destroy Magic spells can negate this spell. A Magic Sanctuary is a complete protection against the outside world; other characters may not pick up or move the caster, nor may they apply weight to the caster’s arm to make the caster lower it before the caster chooses.

The caster is still affected by certain attacks.
Hypnosis is one such attack. The character can be ordered to drop the Magic Sanctuary. The Total Power skill will pierce through a Magic Sanctuary, even if the original spell was cast with Total Power.

While a caster maintains a Magic Sanctuary, they may not pick up objects, drop objects, strike with a weapon, drink potions, or cast any spells, even on themselves.
The caster can pass through anything that is not actively resisting such as light branches. If someone blocks the caster’s path, the caster cannot move them and cannot be moved by them either. This spell will allow the character to walk through water, blizzards, sandstorms, or even lava unharmed. A caster can move through a free swinging door, but cannot turn a knob or open a latch. The caster cannot affect the outside world with any skills, spells, abilities, magic items, etc while they are maintaining this spell. The caster could not, for example, use gaseous alchemical items or invoke area affect magic items while in a Magic Sanctuary spell.

A Magic Sanctuary only protects the caster; if someone is touching the caster when the spell is cast, they are not protected as well.

While they are maintaining a Magic Sanctuary, the player must hold an arm out to their side parallel to the ground, elbow bent up at a right angle, and palm forward.
Also, the caster must walk slowly, no faster than one step per second. If the caster drops their arm or moves faster than one step per second, the sanctuary dissipates.

Magic Sanctuary does not last beyond the end of an Event.

Duration: While Concentrating

Spell Verbal: I Draw Upon the Earth to…

…Detect Life
0 Power Points
 1 Power Point if Thrown

This spell informs the caster of the state of a character’s health.

Detect Life can be used to determine if a character is truly dead or just faking it, is Unconscious, Bleeding to Death, Mortally Wounded, at the Brink of Death, or Dead and can be used to determine whether a character is undead. This spell can also be used to determine how hurt a character is. The target character of the spell should state how many Body Points they have lost. This spell cannot reveal a Feign Death spell or if the character has any parasitic or symbiotic life forms in them.

The Detect Life spell costs no Power Points if the caster is touching the character; the spell costs 1 Power Point if the caster tosses a spell packet at the character.

  Duration: Instant

…Heal this Person
1 Energy Point

This spell will heal the target for 6 Body Points.

3 Energy Points

Duration: Instant

…Assess Your Ailment
3 Energy Points

By means of this spell, the caster can assess a characters condition revealing more than a Detect Life spell.

This spell will reveal: if the character is alive, what stage in their Death Count they are at, how many Body Points they are down, if they are poisoned, diseased, and if they are waylaid. It will also reveal how much time has elapsed in the characters Death Count. This spell will also reveal any additional parasitic or symbiotic life forms inhabiting the character. This spell will not reveal more specific information such as what kind of poison or disease is affecting the character.

For example, Pierre has been paralyzed by some ghouls and is currently Bleeding to Death. Additionally, while he was laying there, a necromancer cast a Cause Disease spell upon him. Nimue casts an Assess Your Ailment spell upon him. Pierre responds by telling Nimue, “I am Bleeding to Death for 30 seconds, poisoned, diseased and down 9 Body Points.” Nimue begins to cast the necessary healing spells to restore Pierre.

Duration: Instant

…Heal This Body
3 Energy Points

This spell will cure most diseases, including the one caused by the Cause Disease and Plague spells. It will also undo the effects of a Paralysis or Weaken spell.

Heal Body has only one effect each time it is cast; you cannot both cure someone of a disease and paralysis with a single use of the spell.

Duration: Instant

…Heal This Mind
3 Energy Points

This spell will undo the effects of an Enfeeble spell. It may also cure insanity, amnesia, and possession; a Plot Marshal will determine whether the Heal Mind is successful.

This spell will also cure the affects of fear, but the caster must be out of Line of Sight with the source of the fear affect before they can cast it on themselves.

This spell has no affect on the Hypnosis skill, any Charm School spell, Rage skill, or charm like effect.

Heal Mind has only one effect each time it is cast; you cannot both cure someone of amnesia and of an Enfeeble with a single use of the spell.

Duration: Instant

Spell Verbal: I Draw Upon the Earth to Aid Me and…

…Heal this Limb

5 Energy Points

This spell will restore a limb or body part that was severed or incapacitated even the head.

A new limb is regenerated; it is not necessary to “re-attach” the severed limb. Heal Limb restores a limb that was damaged with a Stunning Blow. It will also undo the effects of a Take Your Sight spell or a Mute spell. It will not re-grow “dead” body parts like hair.

Heal Limb has only one effect each time it is cast; you cannot both cure someone of a broken arm and of a Take Your Sight with a single use of the spell.

Duration: Instant

…Heal this Mortal Wound

5 Energy Points

This spell will restore a character who is Mortally Wounded, by the Slay or Assassinate skill for example, to 1 Body Point.

Duration: Instant

…Return Your Spirit

5 Energy Points

This spell will resurrect a character and restore all their Body Points.

A substantial portion of the character’s body must be available and the head must be attached; the character’s spirit must be willing to be resurrected. For the Return Spirit spell to work, the caster must be in contact with the body for a full 10 minutes. The Death System must be used to determine whether Return Spirit is successful, and therefore the death must be recorded in the player’s Character Booklet.

To cast this spell, you must keep your hand on the target character’s torso for the full 10 minutes. If you are attacked or are forced to run away during the time it takes to cast this spell, then the Magic Points are lost and the spell does not work. Out Of Game, you may remove your hand to help the player pick a stone from the resurrection bag, update changes on character cards, etc.

Characters restored by Return Spirit suffer the normal consequences of the Death System.

A character healed by a Return Spirit is restored to the state of health they had when last alive: broken limbs, diseases, amnesia, insanity, intoxication, etc. The Return Spirit spell is not a substitute for any other spell of the Healing school.

Return Spirit has no effect on an undead. If a character has been turned into a lesser undead and then killed, Return Spirit will not resurrect the character; the player must go to the Resurrection Area In Game.

The difference between this spell and Heal Life is that Return Spirit will work on a body no matter how long the character has been dead, restores the character to full Body Points, and requires use of the death system; Heal Life only works within a limited amount of time, restores the character to 1 Body Point, and does not use the Death System.

 Duration: Instant

…Bring this Ghoul to Life

5 Energy Points

This spell will turn a character that has been made into a Ghoul back to life.

The character cannot have been a Ghoul longer than 1 hour.

…Feign Life

1 Energy Point

This spell will make an undead character look alive; their skin will be a normal, healthy color and feel warm to the touch; they will appear to have a normal pulse and breath.

A Detect Life spell, Assess Your Ailment spell or the First Aid skill will not reveal that the character is dead. Feign Life will only work on undead whose bodies are intact; the skeletal class of undead or non-corporal undead cannot impersonate a living being with this spell.

Duration: 10 Minutes

…Cause Disease

1 Energy Point

This spell causes the target to contract a deadly disease and immediately loses 1 Body Point and swings 1 point of damage less, then the character will begin to lose an additional 1 Body Point and swing 1 point of damage less every 10 minutes.

The character will stop loosing Body Points at 1 Body Point and will always swing a minimum of 1 point of damage. The effects of this spell are not cumulative with other Cause Disease spells and the Body Points lost due to this spell cannot be healed until the disease is cured.

For example, Orion has 10 Body Points and does 4 points of damage with his sword. He is hit with this spell and is not healed right away. After 30 minutes, he has 6 Body Points and swings 1 point of damage. After 80 minutes, he has 1 Body Point and would still swing for 1 point of damage.

The target will be at the Brink of Death at the end of 6 hours unless a Heal Body spell or similar effect is cast on them.

8 Energy Points

When cast on an Unconscious body, this spell will turn them into a Ghoul.
The body must be Unconscious at 0 Body Points. A body that is unconscious solely due to a Waylay or a spell will not be affected by Create Ghoul; a character that is Bleeding to Death, Mortally Wounded or at the Brink of Death will also be unaffected.

 Duration: Special

…Dominate Undead

8 Energy Points

When an undead is affected by this spell, it will obey all the commands given by the caster.

This spell will affect all undead, including greater undead. However, intelligent undead cannot be ordered to kill themselves; they will also remember who cast the spell on them and may seek vengeance once the spell has worn off. A Dominate Undead spell will work on a Death Slave. Unlike the Charm School spells, the affected, intelligent undead character may attack the caster if they wish.

Duration: 1 Hour

…Wither Limb

8 Energy Points

This spell will cause an arm or leg to wither and become useless.

The caster can specify an arm or leg to affect when the spell is cast, however if the caster fails to specify a limb, the target character must choose one to be affected. The target character does not suffer any Body Point loss from this spell.

The affects of this spell are permanent until healed by a Heal Limb spell. A Dispel Magic spell has no effect on a withered limb.

Duration: Until Healed

…Cripple You with the Plague

8 Energy Points

This spell causes the target character to be instantly infected with a debilitating, non-contagious plague for 30 minutes or until cured with a Heal Body spell or effect.

The character will swing for 1 point of damage, is reduced to 1 Body Point until the spell ends, cannot use any Advanced Career skill except for Faith skills, and can only move at a normal walking pace.

At the end of the half hour, if the character is not healed of the plague, they will be brought to the Brink of Death and the spell ends.

Spell Verbal: I Summon Forth An Eldritch…

…Light
0 Energy Points or 1 Energy Point if thrown

This spell causes an object long sword or smaller to glow.

This spell has no effect on most characters. Light costs no Energy Points if the caster is touching the object or 1 Energy Point if the caster throws the spell. The character holding the light spell may extinguish the light by covering it with their hand, but they cannot restore the light again without another Light spell.

Out Of Game, a small flashlight that must be supplied by the player represents the Light spell for each Light spell cast.

If there is no flashlight then the spell will not work. However, if the player casts this spell during the Out Of Game daytime, the caster gets one free Light spell without the need for a flashlight. The Light spell lasts until the flashlight’s batteries run out. Even if you have replacement batteries, the Light spell must be recast after the new batteries are installed.

Duration: Special

…Match

1 Energy Point

This spell causes the tip of a piece of wood to burst into flame.

The piece of wood can be no larger than 2 feet by 2 inches by 2 inches.

You may light an actual match or torch if a Marshal permits and if it is permitted by the rules of the campsite.
Otherwise, you must use some representation of the torch and, if necessary, a Marshal will note that the wood is on fire.

  Duration: Until the flame burns out or Plot discretion.

…Flare

1 Energy Point

This spell does 8 points of magical damage due to fire.

Duration: Instant

…Fire Brand

1 Energy Point

This spell can only be cast on a weapon. If you hold the weapon, you can invoke this spell, which causes the next weapon attack done by the weapon to be fire based.

Fire Brand does not make the attack magical and it does not add any damage to the weapon.

The attacker declares a blow to be fire based by adding the word “Fire” to the damage done by the attack; for example: “Two Fire.”

Fire Brand only lasts for one blow, but if an attacker fails to hit their target the spell is not used up.
Fire Brand can be combined with any martial skill such as Weapon Proficiencies, Slay, Assassinate, Critical Attack, Waylay, etc.

Duration: Latent

Spell Verbal: I Summon Forth An Eldritch…

…Fire Shield
3 Energy Points

When invoked, this spell will cancel the effects of one Pyrotechnics spell.

Fire Shield will also negate one blow from a weapon that does normal or magical flame damage but will not stop special damaging martial attacks such as the Slay, Critical Strike, Stun, Assassinate, etc. skills.

A Fire Shield will protect against extreme non-magical heat such as molten lava for 5 seconds.

 Duration: Latent

…Fireball

This spell does 24 points of magical damage due to fire.

…Immolation

Spell Verbal: I Pierce the Veil to…

…Detect Magic

Duration: Instant
0 Energy Points
1 Energy Point if thrown

This spell will identify if an object is magical. The spell costs no Energy Points if the caster is touching the object; the spell costs 1 Energy Point if the caster tosses a spell packet at the object.

…See Magic

Duration: Instant
1 Energy Point

This spell will cause all magic within 5 feet to glow with a cerulean color; the 5 feet is measured from the point of impact of the spell packet. Magic items, scrolls, and characters with latent or active spells will all glow briefly. Only the caster can see this glow and the glow is the same regardless of the power level of the magic. The glow cannot be hidden by an intervening object; a magic ring cannot be protected from a See Magic by hiding it in a pouch.

A defense against magic will stop the spell if cast directly at a character, but if the spell is targeted at an inanimate object or if a character is in the area of effect, they can only invoke an Obscure spell to stop the effect. If they are not the target of the spell, they will only know that the See Magic was cast in their area if they have an Obscure upon them, and then they will only know that the spell was cast, not who cast it.

…Know Your Magic

Duration: Instant
 1 Energy Point

This spell will reveal to the caster all the spells that are currently affecting that person. The caster gets to look at the all the latent spells on the target character. If the character has any active spells affecting them – Dominate, Enfeeble, Death Slave, etc. – those are also revealed to the caster. This includes any Warlock augmented spells.

This spell does not reveal any rituals or curses that currently affect a character. It does not determine any natural racial or natural magical powers that a creature may possess. For example, it cannot determine if an elf can resist a Sleep spell. A Know Magic spell cannot detect the effects of any alchemical items.

…Detect Curse

Duration: Instant
3 Energy Points

This spell will reveal to the caster whether or not the target character is cursed – as by a werewolf, a vampire, a gypsy, etc. It does not reveal the type of curse or the number of curses on the character, only the fact that a character is cursed.

…Sever Magic

Duration: Instant
3 Energy Points

This spell destroys the magical link between a character and one of the active spells they have cast. The spell must be cast on the character that is actively controlling the spell. Sever Magic spell can be used against an Enslave, Dominate, Dominate Undead, Command Undead, the undead creation spells, etc. This spell will not end a spell that does not require concentration, for example, in the case of a Dominate spell the character is still dominated and must follow the commands already given. However, spells that do require concentration will end if the caster is severed from the spell.

Normal defenses against magic do not work against a Sever Magic spell, it is the link that is affected, not the caster, but an Obscure spell will stop the spell. If the caster has multiple magical links, the caster of Sever Magic spell must specify which link is being severed; otherwise the target caster chooses a link to drop.

…Obscure

Duration: Latent, Instant
3 Energy Points

When invoked, this spell will protect against one Thaumaturgy spell. For example, if someone casts a See Magic spell on a character and they do not want to reveal that they possess any magic items, if the character invokes an Obscure spell then the caster will see no magic when they look at the target character.

Important: Unlike most latent spells, an Obscure spell does not have to be announced when it is invoked; there is no characteristic flash of light when this defense is used. If a player invokes an Obscure spell in a manner that is not immediately obvious, they should consult with a Marshal to confirm that the spell was used. For example, if a character uses this spell against a Detect Curse spell to avoid suspicion that they are a werewolf, a Marshal should be informed.

An Obscure spell cannot protect against nor prevent a Destroy Magic spell.

…Destroy Magic
Duration: Instant
 5 Energy Points

This spell destroys all spells with a duration of latent, even those augmented by Warlock skills, on a character. No spell from the Aura School can prevent this; neither can an Obscure spell. A Destroy Magic spell does not effect active spells such as Paralysis, Imprisonment, and Magic Sanctuary or an active Fortitude.

This spell will be stopped by any sorcery ritual that stops spells such as Ritual of Spell Shield. No low magic spell, even one contained in an item, can be used to stop this spell.

…Quiet Sorcery

Duration: 5 Minutes
5 Energy Points

This spell will temporarily bring down defensive latent sorcery rituals cast directly upon a target character for 5 minutes. If the target has a magic item that is giving them the benefit of some ritual, such as Ritual of Defense, the ritual will not be affected. No ritual magic, even one contained in an item, can be used to stop this spell.

This spell will be stopped normally by any low magic defense that stops spells such as the Negation, Absorption, or Obscure spells.

…Dispel Magic

Duration: Instant
 5 Energy Points

This spell undoes the effect of one currently active spell. For example, this spell can cancel the effects of most Bond spells, Charm spells, etc. The Dispel Magic spell can be cast at the effect of the spell as in the case of Lock spells or at the character affected by the spell. When the spell is used against the target character directly, the character should make an Out of Game comment indicating which spell is being canceled; if the caster does not specify, then the target player must choose one active spell to be removed.

Dispel Magic does not work against latent spells. It also does not work against Imprisonment or Magic Sanctuary, and it cannot undo the creation of undead by the Necromancy School.
