- There are two classes of spells: Those that last for a while,
- and those that don't. In each of these classes are two further
- distinctions: Spells that are meant for use in combat, and those that
- aren't.
-
- Combat spells are flagged with a '*'. These may or may not work,
- depending on the relative levels of the spell caster and his target. If
- the opponent is a great deal more powerful than the Cleric, it is very
- highly resistant to the latter's magicking. The formula for spell
- efficacy varies from spell to spell, and contains a random factor.
-
- Each spell is described briefly, and is labeled 'Combat,' if ap-
- plicable. In addition, each is labeled either 'Immediate' or 'Duration.'
- The former do whatever it is that they do RIGHT NOW, while the latter's
- effects take a little while to disperse.
-
- The next page contains the Spell Tables. The four pages following
- describe the spells themselves, one level per page.
