:INTRO This is the THIRD collection of spells to round out the OERTH Rule set. Format and rules are the same as the other.... By using the concept of simply adding a new file instead of merging things into a single file it makes the modular design of the game more useful for people who have to retrieve the updates from my bbs. This way then can take only those files that they need. :Acid_Rains COST : 15 GUILDS : E,P This forms a cloud over the Target(s) and rains down on them a acidic rainfall. This rainfall will do 1d10 damage per round, eating away the armour it hits so that it cannot be repaired and then doing bodily harm to those within once the armour is gone. Additional ranks add 2 to the damage roll each round. :Air_Hole COST : 1 GUILDS : O,Y This opens a tiny opening into the elemental plane of air, causing a constant flow of air thru it into the locale. It has many odd uses, including keep from suffocation if trapped in an airtight container. It can, at will, be reversed by the caster, to draw air and small bits of matter into the plane (The hole is aprox 1/4" across) as if a modern day vaccuume cleaner. The hole can be moved around, but cannot be moved thru or inside a living creature. :Animal_Possesion COST : 5 GUILDS : G,S This spell allows a mage to posses the body of any animal intelligence creature, and control it thusly. The Mages own body slips into a deep sleep while inhabiting this creature mentally. The Mage controls ALL the actions of that body and will feel ALL and see and HEAR what the creature normally would. If the creature is harmed or killed while the mage so controls it the mage will awake to find their body has suffered HTK damage internally equal to that done to the creature. A mage whoose body is slain while they are so possesing a creature becomes trapped mentally within it. Mages so possesing a creature can cast from the body, using their stored pool of energy and may even gain energy thru the link in some circumstances. The mage may severe the Possesion at will, snapping back to their own if it still exists. If a mage is trapped in a body after the death of his own then the duration of the spell no longer will apply. :Animate_Dead_Creature COST : 20 GUILDS : E This spell is intended to be sued on the corpse of any dead non-humanoid creature, from as small as a rabbit to as large as a roc. It does not work on humanoid or demihuman corpses. The animated creature will be 1/2 of its original HTK and will have all the normal attacks they did in life. It is controlled much like a zombie. They are NOT classified as lesser undead unless they have less than 25 HTK. Duration is necessary to maintain such an undead. :Animate_Object COST : 7 GUILDS : B By means of this spell an inanimate object becomes animate and under the command of the caster. The object will move at about 5' per round unless it is something designed for movement (ex: A wagon, wheelbarrel etc). Objects animated in this way cannot fight, but may block an attack by interceding. They are imbeded only with enough intelligence to obey the instruction by the caster (ex: an animated broom can sweep the floor, but knows nothing about making tea). One of the common ways of using this is to cast it on a scarecrow or other such humanoid appearing form so that a wider range of commands are possible. The animated beings cannot perform a task that the caster has no knowledge of or cannot perform themselves - ex: an animated manequin instructed to make dinner by the caster could cook no better than the person that created it. They cannot hold or manipulate magical energy in any way. :Arrow_Of_Smitting COST : 9 GUILDS : B, P This spell is considered the most dangerous of the Arrow based spells. Cast on a single arrow it make it capable of also acting as a critical hit if it strikes target. The effect lasts until the arrow has been used once, thus duration is not used. :Blade_Of_Draining COST : 25 GUILDS : E Cast upon a dagger, sword or other cutting weapon, the spell makes the weapon into a draining one. When it successfully strikes target it will not only do its normal damage but will drain away life force from the victim. What is drained is determined on each hit: ROLL DRAINED ---- ------- 01-05 HTK damage inflicted is lost permanently AND is received by the weilder of the blade. 06-15 HTK damage inflicted is lost permanently. 16-29 As much magical energy as the victim had as was inflicted in damage from the blade. Transferred to the weilder! 30-64 As much magical energy as the victim had as was inflicted in damage from the blade. 65-79 1 point Hardiness /RANK perm. 70-74 1 point APPEARANCE /RANK perm. 75-79 1 point Prowness /Rank perm. 80-84 1 point INT /RANK perm. 85-95 No drain but does an extra 1d10 damage 96-00 No drain and no extra damage. :Changestaff COST : 30 GUILDS : B,G This transforms a wooden staff into a full sized Treant that is totally obedient to the caster. It starts with 96 HTK , Armour ABS 10 (Not counted vs FIRE) and can attack with its branches to grapple, hold, and bash (bash does 3d10 dmg). It moves at half the speed of a man running. It lasts till destroyed, dispelled or the duration ends. :Cleanliness COST : 2 GUILDS : B This spell is cast upon cloth, either uncut or finished clothing. It enhances the natural properties of the cloth, making it wrinkle-proof, stain-proof and unable to become dirty or soiled in any way (Such will roll or fall off). It dries in minutes and is in everyway superior. Duration is Necessary for this spell to be valuable. :Cloudburst COST :10 GUILDS : G This causes rain to fall in a radius of the RANGE of the spell at a heavy rate of 1 inch per minute, soaking everything within the area, extinguishing fires, preventing most fire-based spells and turning the soil into mud. :Common_Tongue COST : 7 GUILDS : S This spell is an area effect, extending 50' around the caster. ALL beings within this raidius can speak and understand each other even if they normally cannot as it gives them a common magical language they all can do so with while in the area of effect. RANGE and TARGETS is not used under this spell. :Complex_Illusion COST : 7 GUILDS : O This spell is the most advanced of the Phantasmal Force style illusions. This illusion will affect EVERY sense of those experiencing it and will appear to even inflict damage if it is a damage causing thing that is being projected - but a being that things its been killed/destroyed will mearly fall unconscious for 1d10 + Rank rounds and then will revive with no damage from the illusion. A being who has been so knocked out will NOT be affected by the illusion a second time. Complex illusions will move as ordered by the caster within range, and will otherwise stay put unmoving until dispelled or destroyed. Thus an illusion of a brick wall will last until the duration is ended... Casters are NOT affected by their own illusion. :Create_Object COST : 10 GUILDS : O This spell can be used to create any sort of simple object with which the caster is familair, such as a Sword, a rope, a robe, etc. It cannot form any living creature, plant, mechanical item or magical item. Size is limited to 5 lbs per RANK of the spell. Information cannot be created by the spell, nor would, for example, a work of art - such a work would be no better than the caster could create by hand. The created item lasts for the duration of the spell and has all the usual properties of such an item. TARGETS is never used with this spell, but range can be. :Create_Spring COST : 1 GUILDS : G This spell is cast upon natural rock or earth and causes a spring of fresh water to bubble forth from it, putting out about one gallon of water per hour. It is a great means of bringing water to a desert, irrigating crops etc. TARGET and RANGE are not normally used with this spell, but duration IS necessary. :Dancing_Weapon COST : 3 GUILDS : B, P Cast on any hand-held weapon it will cause it to move about and fight for the caster/owner within a 50' radius, as if it was wielded by the owner, allowing them to perform other tasks while it fights. Attacks on a Dancing weapon are -30% due to size and speed, and if it is hit the hit will simply end the duration of the spell, not damage the weapon. If its owner is knocked unconscious/dead the weapon ceases to fight as well. :Deflect COST : 1 GUILDS : B This spell is cast on a shield, and temporarily increases its bearers chance to prevent a missile attack from reaching target by 10% per RANK. :Dehydrate COST : 12 GUILDS : Y This spell removes the water from the target's tisues, causing damage and possibly death to living creatures. If cast on a body of water or non-living thing it removes 1 gallon per RANK of the spell. If cast on a living being it does 1d10 damage per RANK on the target. It CAN be cast with multiple targets in mind, but NO duration can be added to the spell. :Demonic_Traveler COST : 25 GUILDS : O,S This spell is another with a representational result that appears to be a demon, but which is mearly the apperance of the spells interfaec. It looks like a 2' tall bright blue demon with horns and a forked tail. Given a description of what to find it will randomly teleport itself about searching for the subject of its search and upon finding it report back to its caster the whereabouts of such. It will ONLY search on the single material realm of Oerth. Duration doesn't apply, BUT it may take days, weeks or even years to find what its searching for. At higher ranks additional demons are created, reducing the time needed for the task, one per rank. :Detect_Counterfeit COST : 1 GUILDS : S This spell is the boon of all merchants, as it allows the mage to determine which coins are true to their weight and value and which ones are false. It will work on 100 coins per RANK of the spell and Duration is NOT used with this spell nor TARGETS. ALL False coins will show a flashing black aurua to the caster and will either be shaved (Underweight) or be false trade coins that haven't been authorized by the minter or which have a lesser gem then initially set with. :Detect_Metal COST : 1 GUILDS : S The caster specifies one metal type and this spell will detect any of such within a 50' radius. TARGETS is not used with this spell. :Detect_Nexus COST : 3 GUILDS : S A Nexus is an opening from one material reality into another. Nexus Points are found naturally but can also be created by certain spells, especially those of the Orange Magic Guild in regards to summoning. This spell works LOS for the caster only. :Detect_Shapechanger COST : 5 GUILDS : B,S This allows the caster to detect any natural or magically held shapechanges on persons and creatures in LOS. Range and Target options are not used with this spell. AT Rank 2 it allows the caster to know the true appearance of the beings that are shapechanged. :Drought COST : 50 GUILDS : Y This devistating spell doesn't use the standard RANGE chart, nor TARGETS, but DOES use Duration extensively. Each RANK the spell is known at affects a 1 mile radius from the casting point instead of standard range. It raises the daily temperature by 20 degrees a day until reaching 120 F and cools at night down by 20 degrees. Fields become hard and cracked after 4 days, small streams dry up after six days. All but the deepest wells go dry after 10 days, small rivers are reduced to a trickle in 14 days and go dry after 20/ Large rivers drop a foot depth a day. If kept up for 25 days even the deepest wells will dry up. Plants are affected based on their hardiness, as do people within this environment. :Electic_Arrow COST : 3 GUILDS : B This spell is cast only on an arrow or bolt, giving it a special effect if it strikes its target. It cannot be cast in combination with ANY of the other arrow modifying spells. The arrow does normal damage PLUS 1d10 of electrical damage on striking its target. Duration is NOT used on this spell - it lasts until the arrow is fired and hits something (intended target or not). :Elemental_Burst_Of_Air COST : 1 GUILDS : Y This causes at the target point a sudden burst of high pressured air, causing a concussive wave. All within 5' of the burst must save vs INTUITION or be stunned for 1 round per RANK of the spell. It otherwise causes no damage. :Elemental_Burst_Of_Wood COST : 2 GUILDS : G This causes a wooden object to suddenly explode in a spray of splinters, doing 1d10 + 2 + RANK in damage to all within 5' of the object. It will only work on objects less than 20 lbs in weight. Armour IS applied against this non-magical damage. :Entombment COST : 20 GUILDS : E Castable only at a target that is on stone, earth or natural rock. The target gets a save vs Prowness or will be swallowed up by the earth; aprox 50' underground, in a tiny circular chamber, until rescued or escapes. The subject remains alive and conscious. At the end of the spells duration they are again released on the surface (if still alive and not suffocated or died of lack of food or water). :Ethereal_Travel COST : 15 GUILDS : O This allows the caster and/or target being(s) to fade into the Ethereal Plane. At Rank One the Mage can only move their own weight plus 50 lbs into the ethereal Plane - each additional rank adds another poundage equal to the casters weight in beings and equipment. As long as they remain within the border ethereal all rules of such apply (see seperate file on the Ethereal Plane). DURATION is NOT used with this spell nor TARGETS because of the ranking system. Beings being transported against their will get a save vs INT and MUSt be within range of the spell. (Range in this case is a radius around the caster). :Exorcise COST : 10 GUILDS : R This is cast on a body possesed by a spellcaster or creature of some sort. It drives the offending possesor out of the body back to their own (if possible). :Fire_Dart COST : 1 GUILDS : Y This creates a physical dart that is thrown with the Dart throwing weapons skill. Upon leaving the casters hand it becomes afire and if it strikes the target does 1d10 magical fire damage to the target. Each RANK that the spell is known at adds one to the damage done. DURATION cannot be used on this spell, nor is TARGETS. :Flaming_Arrow COST : 2 GUILDS : B,Y This spell is cast only on an arrow or bolt, duration is NOT used in the casting as the effect doesn't occur until the arrow is launched and then strikes a target. The arrow on striking does 1d10 additional fire damage over its original to the target. :Fortify_Armour COST : 5 GUILDS : B This spell is cast on armour or clothing to enhance its ability to absorb and withstand damage from physical attacks. It can ONLY be cast once on each item - when it expires in duration the item itself will decay into dust. It adds 1d10 Absorbtion and that times 10 in structural damage capacity. Additional ranks increase the SDC by another 10 (at rank 3 its SDC = Roll * 30). :Gentle_Rains COST : 3 GUILDS : G This spell is cast with a non-standard RANGE and NO TARGETS option. Once cast it causes, outside a gentle rain to fall from the sky (creating clouds if needed on the first round) in an area of 1 mile radius per RANK of the spell. This continues for the duration. It will negate a DROUGHT* instantly in the process. :Guardian_Demon COST : 20 GUILDS : O,Y This spell does NOT summon a demon. It instead creates from its own energies a creature that physically appears to be a demon of about half-human size (about 3' tall) with bright red skin , horns and a pointed tail. Its armed with a small trident (1d10+4 magical damage). The caster instructs the demon to guard one being, object or location and it will do so to the death. The Demon has 20 HTK and cannot be harmed by non-magical weapons. Spells cast at the demon have a 50% chance of volleying back at their target as do all missile weapons, with the exception of DISPELL MAGIC. The caster must give the demon a password that when spoken will end the spell and the demon will then fade away. TARGET and RANGE are not used with this spell, but Duration adds are manditory to be effective. The demon, in combat, attacks at 100% skill with its trident. It can also throw a minute fireball that does 2d10 normal fire damage to the target. The demon cannot be used for anything except to guard and protect. :Hog_Tie COST : 20 GUILDS : B,G This spell requires a rope of some sort to cast. It causes the rope to vanish from where it is and appear around the target, which is then hogtied instantly with hands and feet bound behind its back. Beings of Hardiness 25 or greater can break free in one round from the binding. Mages bound who cannot break free can cast, but at a -25% due to the binding. Quicklings and hasted/speeded up beings that get two actions a round can roll vs prowness to avoid being tied in the first place, but will get no other actions that round. DURATION and TARGETS is not used with this spell. :Internal_Fire COST : 30 GUILDS : Y This is a subtle, nasty spell. It is cast upon a target and places within the stomache of the creature a magical fire which burns and does damage from within, doing 1d10 damage per round of the duration. There is a save vs Hardiness each round and if successful negates the damage for that round, but the spell will continue for its full duration. :Know_Alignment COST : 5 GUILDS : S This allows the caster to know the target beings true alignment. :Lighten COST : 2 GUILDS : B,R Only castable on non-living targets, this spell reduces their weight by 90% without reducting their structural capacities or capabilities. It is often cast on Armour to make it more flexable (If so cast it will negate half the losses of Prowness from the armour). When the duration runs out the item returns to its normal weight. Upto 500lbs of original weight per RANK can be affected. :Lightning_Bolt COST : 10 GUILDS : G,Y This spell generates a quick bolt of electricity that fires out at a target like a lightning bolt. If there is any quantity of metal between the caster and the target it will strike the metal instead and ground out the charge. If it strikes a metal surface or a wet surface then all in contact with said surface will be affected by the electrical damage. It can ALSO not be fired uphill. The attack does 1d10 per RANK the spell is known at. If a target is wearing metal armour then an additional 1d10 is done (no increase for rank). If the target is flying or in no way touching any surface, then they receive only 1/2 damage. Characters get an INT save as well, which will reduce the total by half (if a character is BOTH INT saving and not grounded then there is NO damage at all!). :Mage_Mint_Ritual COST : 15 GUILDS : B This spell requires a full hour to cast, and needs a kettle or cauldron to work the contents. Basically it melts down bronze, silver or gold coins, ore, bars or jewelry/goods into their component level and creates coinage from such based upon the weight of the metals involved, placing on the coinage the mint mark the mage has chosen as their own and all necessary addings to make the coinage legal tender. Coins made by this spell are NOT counterfeit. The limit of the spell is the amount of volume that can be fit in the container being used for the melting. :Magical_Repair COST : 4 GUILDS : B,S This spell mends any magical item, such as a weapon or armour, that has become broken and is still mostly intact (it won't reform ashes or dust back into an item) and rebind the spells and energies that were still found within it. The problem with a Magical repair is that it requires DURATION (unlike a standard mending spell) to maintain the result on the item. A failed magical repair also will destroy the item. A criticaled magical repair (01-05 natural casting) will repair the item for good and the duration no longer matters. Magical repair can only be cast on one item - thus a full set of magical chainmail could be restored to its full damage capacity - at a casting. (TARGETs is NOT functional). :Mental_Music COST : 3 GUILDS : O This mildly annoying spell is cast on a target being and inflicts on them an illusion of a melody, chosen by the caster, to be constantly running thru their head for the duration. Only one such spell may be in effect on a target and there is no saving throw. The spell effect is mildly distracting, making the character it is inflicted on to be -5% from all skills for the duration, but this effect on a singer or musician causes a -25% from using such music skills while it is in effect unless they are playing the exact same melody. :Message_Scroll COST : 9 GUILDS : O,S This spell will transport a scroll to the named being it is intended for instantly, no matter which plane they are on (except for the Astral and dream planes). The name of the target being is the vital factor. RANGE, TARGETs and DURATION are not used with this spell. :Pentagram_Ritual COST : 20 GUILDS : E,O,S This Ritual takes a full hour to cast and is NOT reduced by the fact it is a ritual (but can be made into a tool focused casting to reduce cost). The Pentagram is drawn out on the ground and then is charged with the spell energy. This star within a circle is usually stood in by the caster and will reduce or prevent hostile creatures and spells from entering its confines. No Entirely magical creature (Zombie, Ghost, Skeleton, Elemental, demon, golem, fae-folk, devil, wraith, or spectre) can cross this boundry, while non-magical or partially magical ones can cross at will. Spells trying to enter it have their effect reduced one rank per rank of the caster of the Pentagram - if the incoming spell is thus reduced below one rank it ceases to function, else it is reduced in strength accordingly. The Pentagram cannot be broken or erased except by the caster or by mundane means by a non-magical being, EXCEPT if it is struck by an ERASE spell of higher rank than that of the Pentagram. Targets and RANGE are not usually used with this spell, unless the caster is using the pentagram to entrap a magical creature inside its confines. DURATION is vital to the casting. :Preservation COST : 1 GUILDS : G,S This is cast upon a container holding food, a potion, a liquid of some sort or herbs and spices and will prevent their decaying from their current state for the duration the spell is cast at. It will handle upto 5 gallons of said material per RANK, and can be used on multiple containers upto that size factor. Its a popular spell with merchants. :Programmed_Illusion COST : 12 GUILDS : O This is a Complex_Illusion* that is preprogrammed by the caster for what movements, sounds and actions it will take, upto a 15 minute sequence per rank of the Spellcasting can be programmed. :Protection_From_Disease COST : 2 GUILDS : R This spell is often used to protect the Red Mage from a contageous patient. It basically prevents any disease from affecting the mage while the duration is in effect. It can also be cast one someone who is NOT infected who may be exposed to a disease. :Protection_From_Elements COST : 25 GUILDS : G,R This spell is one of the best defensive ones, and is also one that is difficult to find a teacher for. It protects the target being from ALL elemental based attacks - that is any magical attack that uses FIRE, WATER, ICE, COLD, HEAT, STONE, WOOD, STEAM, ELECTRICITY, LAVA, WIND, AIR or changes one into such (including flesh to stone). It will also protect from normal fire damage, weather effects and natural elementals. It does not stop mundane attacks of wood or metals. :Protection_From_Spirits COST : 5 GUILDS : E,R,S This spell will protect the caster or subject target from all damage and draining effects inflicted by a non-corpreal being, including wraiths, ghosts, spectres, astrally projecting mages and the like for the duration. Even spell effects used by any such creatures will fail to work against the protected. :Quick_Draw COST : 1 GUILDS : B,O Primarily cast on a weapon (And ALWAYS on a non-living thing) this spell will enable the caster or the person the spell is being cast for, to instantly have said weapon in their hand when it is needed, if the item is within 100 feet/rank of the caster/person. Duration is MANDITORY on this spell. Multiple TARGETS is not possible. :Remove_Curse COST : 20 GUILDS : S This removes ANY curse type spell on a being or item permanently. DURATION is not used in this effect. :Reverse_Missiles COST : 12 GUILDS : P,R,S This is a nasty little defensive spell. It works against all Missiles, including magical, for the duration, that are fired or thrown at the Target being. These missiles will fly back and hit the original source that launched them if they 'hit target' and do damage against it. The way to prevent this is for the source to have Protection From Friendly Missiles on.... :Rune_Of_Blinding COST : 25 GUILDS : E This ancient magic is one of the few of the great runes that have passed down thru the generations. It is primarily drawn in the air by the caster (And NEEDS free arms to be cast but not vocal ability) and forms a glowing blue symbol in the air. All, save the caster, who view this symbol must save vs Intuition or become blinded for the duration it is cast for. :Rune_Of_The_Deathmaster COST : 75 GUILDS : E Another of the ancient rune spell, this symbol is also cast in the air by hand motions, but has verbal components and cannot function without them nor without hand movements. It is drawn in the air and affects ALL who see the caster (TARGETS, RANGE and DURATION are NOT used). All must save vs INTUITION and those who fail suffer a heart attack instantly, which does 3d10 Damage and stuns those who took damage for a full half hour afterwards. :Sepia_Snake_Sigil COST : 15 GUILDS : E,S This sigil must be inscribed upon a book or scroll. On being read or touched it activates forming a cobra-like apparition that will attack its reader (unless such is its caster) who must save vs Prowness or be hit. On being hit it places the target into a shimmering amber field of force that holds them in suspended animation for the duration put into the spell. If it misses the target it will try to strike any who come near it for 3 rounds afterwards and if not scoring a hit will fade away. The amber force field can be dispelled or it can be shut down by usage of the proper word of command. This spell is usually used to protect private books and papers. :Servant_Horde COST : 20 GUILDS : O,S This creates a hoarde of unseen servants to serve the caster. They are subject to the limitation of that spell individually, but have the advantage of being usable for overlaying tasks - such as rowing a large ship, picking crops in a field, serving as staff at a babquet etc. :Snow_Ball COST : 1 GUILDS : O This creates in the casters hand a normal snowball which can be thrown at a target. It melts at the end of its duration, unless it has hit target (when it melts a round later). The snowball does no damage, and can be avoided with a prowness roll or shield usage, but if it strikes a mage it counts as a distraction which they must make an INT roll against losing spell concentration on. :Spike_Stones COST : 15 GUILDS : B,G This spell transforms 1d10/rank ordinary rocks of baseball size or smaller into dangerous traps that activate when stepped on. DURATION is not used with this spell. Each of the affected stones will, when a weight of 20 lbs or greater presses upon them, have nasty spikes protrude from their surface like caltrops of a larger size. These will do 2d10 damage each when stepped on. The spikes are stone in nature, extensions of the rock, and remain outward after being sprung. They cannot be reused. :Spray_Of_Stones COST : 1 GUILDS : G,O This spell creates and throws at the target a spray of small rocks and stones from the elemental plane of Earth. The attack does 1d10 (+2 /Rank the spell is known at) but is a mundane attack otherwise (Shield, armour both can be applied). :Steam_Breathe COST : 15 GUILDS : G,P,Y This gives the caster or the target being the ability to produce a steam breath weapon attack like that of a Dragon Turtle. Each round the steamer can blow out such a cloud of steam, doing 2d10 damage (no armour save) to all within a 30' cone area in front of the steamer. A save vs Prowness avoids the effects of the Steam. Any protection from HEAT, FIRE or Non-magical attacks (the steam is not magical itself) will prevent or reduce damage accordingly. Fire based creatures are not harmed by it. The power is stopped by killing its source, the steamer, by sealing its mouth, surrounding it with ice etc. While breathing it can take no other action and losses all defensive modifiers vs physical attacks. Targets is NOT a usable option with this spell. Range and Duration are. :Tasha's_Uncontrollable_Hideous_Daughter COST : 15 GUILDS : O This is a special combination of illusion and summoning, creating a creature that will have the goal of nothing more than being near to the target being, holding them, drooling on them, kissing them and groping them endlessly while the spell lasts (It may even appear to try to have sexual encounters with them but such will produce NO magical energy unlike a real such encounter). The Creature is the ugliest female that the caster can think of, with warts, black stringy hair that has all the softness of steel wool, a flabby trunk but great powerful arms and legs (Hardiness 30). It cannot be harmed by non-magical weapons, and has HTK 30 vs magical ones. Duration is absolutely necessary with this spell, but TARGETS is not usable with it. :Transfer_Energy COST : 1 GUILDS : B,E,G,O,P,R,S,Y This allows mages to transfer energy to each other by choice. Those involved MUST be willing. The being losing the energy decides how much they transfer and to who. Energy cannot be transfered to a non-mage trained being unless they are magical in nature. Only RAW energy *not HUNG spells* can be transfered this way. :Vision_Quest_Ritual COST : 10 GUILDS : G This spell allows a mage another means of learning new spells or knowing a particular piece of wanted information. The spell can also be cast on another, who is willing, for the same purposes. When on a Vision quest the character it is cast on drifts off into a dream filled sleep upon the plane of dreams. It guides them towards their goal there, but may include great dangers or hazards that could affect their body and mind back on the real world. The ritual takes about 2 hours. If klutzed the character involved comes back with a roll on the insanity table and does NOT gain what was wanted. Otherwise they roll as follows: 01-05 Character easily finds out what they went in search for with no detrimental effects and no real memory of what occured. 06-25 Character returns with the wanted information, but has expended half their Magical Energy points stored up in the process. Quest involved fighting dream beasts magically. 26-50 Character returns with the wanted information, but has expended ALL their magical energy points stored up in the process. Quest was long and laborous. 51-75 Character returned with the information, but has used up ALL magical energy points and hungs spells in the process. 76-80 Character returned with the information, but has used up all magical energy and hung spells AND taken 1d10 HTK damage from the encounters. 81-85 Character returned with the information but now owes a greater power a debt that will be collected shortly in the material world in some way. (GM will privately tell to whom the debt is owed). 86-90 Character returns with the information but must roll on the insanity table upon waking due to the horrible dreams survived. 91-95 Character returns without the information, having failed the quest. They cannot go in quest of that information again. 96-00 Character dies in their sleep from trauma. If brought back magically they will roll on the insanity table once for each day they were dead from continual exposure to the nightmares of the dreamplane. :Wall_Of_Bones COST : 10 GUILDS : E This causes a wall of spiky bones to burst up from the ground in a straight line 20' long per RANK of the spell maximum and about 3' wide and 10' high max. This wall of bones acts as partial cover, but missiles and spells can be cast thru the openings. Small creatures might wiggle thru the openings with efforts. It counts as 50% cover for combat. The wall can be broken thru with weapons and strength, it takes 25 points of damage to clear a 3' wide opening in the wall, and takes no damage from fire or ice based attacks. The bones are much like the components used to make skeletons and zombies, but are NOT animate. The wall can also be cast at a SINGLE TARGET BEING. This will surround the target with such a wall incircular format around a 5' square, trapping them until they can break thru. Attempts to climb over the wall will possibly inflict damage (Save vs climbing skill or prowness - failure does 1d10+2 damage.
