:Druids

   Druids in Mystic are not the descendants of an ancient magic
tradition, they are the creation of Neopagan Revivalists who have
taken the few known myths, writings and accounts of the original
druids and added large amounts of romanticism crossed with modern
sciences to form a new, slightly confusing (to the novice) and
very different system of understanding.

   Among themselves Druids INSIST that their members be certified
within their religion to be a Leader of a group. Their groups work
rituals with a large bonfire in the center of a diamond that they
insist on calling a circle. They wear formal robes or tabards in
ritual work and gather in groups as small as three and as large as
300. Despite their claims of equality they tend to have male led
groups.

   Although they are ecologically aware and concerned, they are not
afraid and encourage the use of technology (each group has at least
one member who has as their second tradition that of a technomage).

   Unlike many pagan groups they ACTIVELY solicit funds and seek to
gain new members thru discussion groups. They hold public rituals
and make general public nuisances of themselves as far as the hidden
spellcasters of the world are concerned. They consider it a RIGHT
for all spellcasters to practice their arts legally and as recognized
religions under the Constitution of the USA and usually charter their
groves and Homes as church property to avoid taxation. (They also get
a large number of 'silent partners' who become druid laymen so they
can hide their assets from the IRS etc.)

   Despite all this, it is estimated that all the various druid
groups in the USA make up about 1200 people in all that are actively
trained in the magical tradition and another 5000-7500 who are lay
members (non-casting) or simply 'silent partners'.

:Age_Alchol

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : R  (special D)

:Animal_Enmity

   COST    : 3
   MODS    : D,R

This spell simply causes the victim to be offensive to animals for the
duration. Horses will shy or buck, dogs will bark, bulls will

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 possessing a creature becomes trapped
mentally within it.

Mages so possessing 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 Possession 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.

:Blood_Finding

    COST    : 15

This spell requires a blood sample and a sewing needle. It works on the
principle of like attracting like and will cause the needle to point to
the nearest source of similar blood EXCEPT that of the caster or the
original source of the blood. Thus it creates a miniature compass that
will draw one to the nearest similar, which almost always means unto a

to the nearest closest in blood type or species).

:Boneset

normal state. Each dose (1 Cup, 4 cups to a quart) will heal upto 2

calmed and placid. This can stop a stampede, prevent an attack or simply
prevent easily startled or 'watch' animals from reacting to the
presence of the caster and/or others in the area for the duration.
This area of calm moves with the caster, and animals outside the area
will return to normal reactions.

       COST   : 15
       MODS   : D,R,T

understanding of everything the caster may say. Lasts till duration ends
and then will wander away.

is purchased. It allows the caster to manipulate the natural temperature
to one between 0 and 100 degrees fahrenheit at will while it is
operating (It defaults to a comfort zone unless instructed otherwise,
based on the characters usual preferred temperature). This will protect
against potential temperature extremes, exposure and overheating. It
does NOT assist against fire or ice based attacks, but will melt ice
within its realm (thus limiting and ice dart to 1 round of
effectiveness) if set properly or reduce HEAT damage by half from a
purely heat based attack. Others within the range will also be effected.

:Control_Winds

    COST   : 20
    MODS   : D,R

:Create_Campsite

   COST   : 15
   MODS   :  N

   With this spell the caster generates a squadron of tiny invisible
servants who create a campsite for the caster and his/her companions.
The caster stands in the desired area for the campsite (a 60' radius

accommodate.

   The servants clear the area of debris, set up tents if present, set
up bedrolls, start a campfire, fetch water if available, tether horses
and mules, and dig a nearby latrine. The campsite will be so skillfully
prepared as to be only noticeable 50% of the time from outside of it due
to the blending with the surrounding terrain.

   The entire process takes about 10 rounds to be accomplished.

   The servants use the gear available to them and any improvised gear
they can create from the working area - if no tents exist they will
create lean-to's of branches and leaves and grass if available.

   These servants cannot fight for the party, deliver messages, or take
any other actions other than creating the campsite.

servants to strike a campsite and repack the gear, extinguish the fire,
and return the site to its original state as much as possible.

their symptoms from a living body. It does not cure poisons or produce

diseases. But it makes the subject functional and ends also retching
and vomiting that may accompany Nausea.

:Delay_Spell

     COST    : 10
     MODS    : D

This is yet another form of Metamagic, spells designed only to affect
other spells. The caster casts this spell and then it affects the NEXT
spell they cast successfully, setting a timer on the spells effect
before it takes place based on the duration of the DELAY. Thus one may
produce a time-bomb like effect with a variety of spells and concepts.

:Detect_Charm

   COST   : 3
   MODS   : R

This spell will reveal whether or not a recipient is under the effect
of a charm spell.

:Detect_Scrying

       COST : 10
       MODS : D,R

   This spell notifies the caster of any scrying by magical or mundane
means occurring within the Range radius of the caster. Thus ANY
clairvoyance, Clairaudience, detection or analysis spell active in
that area or cast at them will be reported. It will also report
security cameras and active microphones and state their locale. It
does NOT detect invisible persons or devices present that might be
listening/viewing nor will it detect a sentient that might be hidden,
invisible or on the Astral plane. Only the caster hears and knows of
the scrying report. It fails vs Boom microphones outside radius that

:Detect_Shapechanger

:Detect_Spirit

   COST   : 5
   MODS   : D,T

object (enchanted swords, etc.), and whether or not the mind
controlling the body is its "native". Thus, it will not detect charming

spirit from detection by this spell, and can be cast by anyone who
knows Detect Spirit.

:Detect_Traps

   COST   : 10
   MODS   : D

Allows the caster to determine if anything in sight is a Trap. Range

an Intuition save is needed, and if successful can state what the trap
is and may be able to disarm it.

:Dispel_Magic

   COST   : 10
   MODS   : D,R

healing spell or cause harm to a magical creature directly. Unwilling

the target had received from them AFTER armour etc, as internal damage.

:Ethereal Sight

   COST   : 5
   MODS   : D

Allows the caster to see into the nearby Ethereal Plane and perceive any
Objects or beings therein. Range is unnecessary with this spell, unless

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : D,R

This spell is cast on a currently burning log, candle or other natural

    MODS   : N

This spell allows the caster to state a particular kind of animal for
the spell to set him into the right direction to find and an estimated
distance to the nearest such creature at the time of casting. For
example to find a Dog, a cat or a horse are all viable. The range that
the spell can pick creatures within is a mile per RANK of the spell.

:Find_Familiar

   COST   : 20
   MODS   : N

   This spell enables the caster to summon a familiar to act as his
aide and companion.  Familiars are typically small creatures, such as
cats, frogs, ferrets, crows, hawks, snakes, owls, ravens, toads, weasels,
or even mice.  A creature acting as a familiar can benefit a wizard,
conveying its sensory powers to its master, conversing with him, and
serving as a guard/scout/spy as well.  A wizard can have only one at a
time, and he has no control over what sort of creature answers the
summoning, if any at all come.

   The creature is always magically intelligent and its bond with the
wizard confers upon it an exceptionally long life.  The wizard receives
the heightened senses of the familiar, which grants the wizard a bonus
to all surprise die rolls.

   The wizard has an empathic link with the familiar and can issue mental
commands at a distance of up to one mile.  Note that responses from
the familiar are fairly basic--which able to communicate simple thoughts,
these are often overwhelmed by instinctual responses.  Thus a ferret
spying on a band of orcs might lose its train of thought upon
sighting a mouse.  Certainly its communications to its master would be
tinged with fear of the "big ones" it was spying on!  The caster can see
through the familiar's eyes.

   When the familiar is in physical contact with the wizard, it gets the
wizards saving throws against special attacks.

   If the familiar dies, the wizard must successfully roll an immediate
Hardiness check. If the familiar is an animal type then they lose 1 HTK
in damage from the loss.

   Unlike most spells, the finding of the familiar is actually a Rite,
When the wizard decides to find a familiar, s/he must load a brass
brazier with charcoal.  When this is burning well,s/he adds incense and
herbs.  The spell incantation is then begun and must be continued
until the familiar comes or the casting time is finished.  The GM secretly
determines all results.  Note that familiars are not inherently magical,
nor does a dispell magic spell send them away,

   Deliberate mistreatment, failure to feed and care for the familiar, or
continuous unreasonable demands have adverse effects on the familiars
relationship with its master.  Purposely arranging the death of one's own
familiar incurs great disfavor from certain powerful entities, with dire
results.

:Find_Plant

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : N

This spell allows the caster to state a particular kind of plant for
the spell to set him into the right direction to find and an estimated
distance to the nearest such creature at the time of casting. For
example to find Oak Trees, Basil, or strawberries are all viable. The
range that the spell can pick creatures within is a mile per RANK of
the spell.

:Find_Water

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : D,R

When casting this spell, to reduce costs, a tool is often used,
the diviner grasps two ends of a Y-shaped stick. The remaining end
twists around to point in the direction of the nearest source of fresh
water within the spell range. The branch can twist but twenty degrees,
and then the diviner will feel a tug in the direction of the water.
The diviner can specify a minimum amount of water to seek (greater than
the amount in a human body, for example).

:Fire_Grenade

    COST   : 25
    MODS   : N

This spell is another arsonist tool - it creates a golf-ball sized
yellow crystal. This crystal can be thrown and upon striking a
surface it explodes into a bright yellow fireball that does 1d10
damage +1 per RANK of the spell. The initial blast area is a 5'
radius +1 per RANK of the spell.

:Fire_Trap

    COST   : 15
    MODS   : N

This is cast on any closable item (book, box, bottle, chest, door,
backpack etc). When the container is opened by anyone EXCEPT the
caster it activates the trap, causing a 5' radius explosion of flame
that will do 1d10 Damage +1 per RANK of the Spell. The item is NOT
harmed by this explosion.

Once it has been triggered the spell ends.

:Fire_Visions

     COST   : 25
     MODS   : N

This is cast upon a bonfire or other large fire source. The caster
will enter into a trance-like state watching the flames. They will
then see visions of their Celtic Gods and Goddesses and be told
something of importance to them. If they, at the start of the spell,
state an intended need from the visions, and make a roll vs Religion
skill - if successful they will find out what they need. Else they
receive a random vision or piece of information from their gods.
Among other things this is a means for a Druid to learn a new spell,
expended experience when knowledge is implanted upon them from their
divinities....

:Flare

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : R

This causes a bright flare to occur at the designated site, giving off
daylight intensity light for the next round. This throws off infravision
for the next 3 rounds, and causes 1d10 damage to Undead within a 60'
radius of the flare. It will not harm normal creatures, but if directed
on or at one, will blind them for the next round. If Fired Directly at an
Undead and striking it it will do 3d10 damage.

:Flash

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : D,R,T

Victims failing their saving throw are blinded due to a flash of light
that appears in their eyes. (Save is vs INT). Targets chosen on this
spell do NOT have to be next to each other.

   Unless skilled at Blind Fighting they will be considered to be at
prowness 1 for all actions for the duration.

:Flavor_Food_&_Drink

   COST   : 3
   MODS   : R

This allows the caster to change the flavor of any food or drinking
substance, so that it may be more or less edible to those to consume it.
The flavoring can be as simple as the addition of a single spice to the
taste (ex: pepper) or as complex as a major change (Milk that tastes
chocolate, Beer that tastes like buttermilk, Wine that tastes like
blood). The effect does NOT change the nature of the Food or drink,
merely the flavor, so this spell cannot be used to smoke fresh fish or
to salt it (but can make such TASTE as such).

The taste effect becomes permanent unless countered by another casting
of the spell to change it again.

:Fog_Vision

   COST   : 3
   MODS   : D

   Allows the caster to see clearly thru any smoke or fog as if
it wasn't there so it has no obscurement value.

:Force_Shapechange

      COST    : 15
      MODS    : R

With this spell the caster can force any shapechanger (even a changeling)
or polymorphed creature to instantly revert to their true form (or most
commonly used form). If the target is a natural shapechanger then they
DO get a save vs INT to avoid the effect - there is no Save vs those who
are polymorphed. The target cannot change form again for 1d10 + 1/Rank Rnds
even if they saved against the spell.

:Fortify_Armour

      COST    : 15
      MODS    : D

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 2 Absorption/rank and that times 10 in
structural damage capacity. Additional ranks increase the SDC by
another 10 (at rank 3 its SDC = Roll * 30).  Fortified Armour
cannot be dispelled.

:Free_Action

      COST   : 10
      MODS   : D,R

This spell enables the target to move and attack and otherwise act
normally for the duration of the spell, negating effects like Paralysis,
little death, hold person, web, hog tie and similar binding effects.

:Gentle_Rains

       COST   : 3
       MODS   : D

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* spell instantly in the process.

:Grounding

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : D

This spell helps protector the caster on several levels. First it will
prevent ALL Electrical damage for the duration of the spell; second
it gives the caster a +10% save for INT saves vs incoming spells and
effects for the duration. Note that long duration groundings are possible
but that grounding does NOT work while a character is unconscious or
asleep in some way as it takes thought to perform.

:Grove_Sanctuary_Rite

    COST   : 25
    MODS   : N

This spell is cast by a mage to establish a place of power where they
can be assured of relative safety and capability to practice their art.
Once created the mage cannot create another such Sanctum while it
exists.

       A Grove offers MANY benefits to a mage, and should be
established in secluded secluded locale to assist in its magics.

Within their grove a mage will be instantly alerted to ANY intrusion
into it by anyone or anything, and will know if they have come with
hostile intent. Anyone performing an attack, theft or casting against a
mage within their grove is -25% to do such, while the mage is at
+25% to perform any castings against them.

Meditation within ones own grove adds +1 power point per hour;
All spellcastings are at +25% to succeed (compounds with any
other modifiers to improve success).

      To enter a grove without permission of the owner must be done
as if trying to face against a sanctuary spell, that is one must save vs
INT to cross its barriers and wards. Note that a mage will ALWAYS know
if there is currently an intruder inside their grove, no matter the
distance to them.

The Sanctum can be a maximum of 100 cubic yards per RANK of the spell.
Spells cast from outside into a Grove have a 25% chance of reflecting
back at the source - EVEN in the case of ritual spells. Undead cannot
cross the barriers of a grove without permission of the owner AT ALL.

While inside their grove a mage is also considered +10 to their APP for
Presence sake.

Groves CANNOT be dispelled thru normal means. The rite must be
performed in reverse and of equal or greater rank to the original
casting.

:Heal_Animals_Fully

    COST   : 20
    MODS   : R

This will heal an animal body of ALL wounds and damage, but does not
remove diseases and poisons present in the body. Target will awake and be
fully functional. This cannot be cast on something that is dead, if
dropped below -10 HTK they are dead and cannot be brought back this way.

To the above cost it additionally costs 1 point per point healed.

:Healing_Sleep

   COST   : 25
   MODS   : R

This spell is cast on a willing, wounded recipient only and causes them
to fall into a coma-like sleep which will last for 10 hours. During this
time the recipient's body is working at an accelerated rate to heal
itself and it will heal 3d10 of wounds. There is NO way to bring the
subject out of the sleep, so unless you are in a safe place this spell
is NOT recommended! Additional ranks reduce the time of slumber by an
hour each (Max of 5 ranks).

:Herb_Enhancement

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : N

This spell is only useful if the Shaman has Herbology. It allows them
to take any natural herb and multiply its normal affects a hundred fold.
Thus an herb that is used to stop bleeding will actually partially
heal an open wound (for 1d10 effect); an herb that helps with upset
stomaches will cure nausea entirely (even from Stinking Cloud); an
herb that is poisonous becomes VERY poisonous and requires a save to
avoid fatality if consumed/injected, and so forth.

   Once enhanced the herb will remain enhanced.

:Hold_Portal

    COST   : 25
    MODS   : D,R

   This spell magically bars a door, gate, or valve of wood, metal, or
stone. The magical closure holds the portal fast, just as if it were
securely closed and locked.  Any extra-planar creature (dijinni,
elemental, etc.) can shatter the spell and burst open the portal at
will.  A knock spell or a successful dispel magic spell can negate the
hold portal.  Held portals can be broken physically or battered down.

:InFertility

    COST   : 1
    MODS   : D,R

Causes the subject to become infertile for the duration, useful for
means of preventing contraception. This spell will NOT cancel out a
Fertility* spell! Nor does it cause Impotence - only lack of conception.

:IronMind

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : D

This spell permits the caster to concentrate powerfully, despite any
normal things that would distract him/her from their actions in casting
any other spell - even the receipt of actual physical damage, as long
as the duration of this spell continues. This allows a mage to overcome
one of the normal causes of spell failure.

:Leap

    COST   : 12
    MODS   : D,R

     When this spell is cast the individual is empowered with the
ability to leap.  The distance the individual is able to leap is 20'
per RANK bought of the spell, forward, backward or straight up. One
Jump per round of the spells duration can be made.

   Also at the end of the leap the individual will always land without
falling damage.

:Limb_Running

     COST  : 3
     MODS  : D

This allows the caster to travel across any wooden surface safely,
upto a 90 degree angle, as if on normal ground. They can move at
full speed and need make no PROW rolls against the terrain while
doing so.

:Locate_Object

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : D,R

This spell allows the caster to find the location of a lost or stolen
item which they are familiar with (that is, they have held it in their
hands at some point in the past). The spell will give them a direction
and will lead them along that direction, with mental statements of
'warmer'/'Colder' until they reach it or until the spell expires.
If the item is beyond the casting range then they will NOT perceive
it at all except a vague direction and then the spell will expire
prematurely. If the object has been broken, changed or damaged in any
way it will not ne detected at all.

:Magic_Eye

    COST   : 15
    MODS   : D

     By means of this spell the caster, creates a "third eye" much
like the spell wizard eye except that it remains in a specific
location once cast.  It can be triggered in two ways, one is a
"pre defined" event occurring, such as some creature passing in front
of it.  The second can be done from anywhere on the same plane, by
willing it to activate.  Once activated the eye lasts its duration
The "eye" sees as well as the caster, if caster can see normally
invisible so can the eye, magic enhancements do not work through
the Magic Eye, such as spectacles or detect invisible. The mage,
while concentrating will see thru the eye clearly, when not, it
becomes a ghostly mental image... If the caster has more than one
eye only one may be active - activating a second one will end the
first ones usage.

:Mason's_Words_Of_Magic_Deconstruction

     COST   : 25
     MODS   : N

This is a complex series of sounds that MUST be uttered vocally by the
caster to be effective at a target MAGICAL OBJECT. It will deconstruct
the item, unweaving the magics that make it functional, turning it into
a non-charged item. This spell fails within a silence field.

:Message_Scroll

      COST   : 20
      MODS   : N

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.

:Mind_Guard

    COST   : 15
    MODS   : D

   This spell protects the caster or subject target being (must be
sentient) from the effects of a mental nature as well as natural
abilities like ESP, Telepathy (but not mind speech), Well_Of_Blackness*,
Hypnotism*, Charm Person, Curse of Senility, Detect Deryni, Detect
Spirit, Nude Mood, Possession, Quantum Leap, Spook, Steal Spell, and
even Taunt.

:Morale_Boost

    COST   : 7
    MODS   : D,R,T

This spell gives the recipients a +5% per RANK to save vs FEAR attacks,
and will also give them a +5% chance per rank to succeed at all attack
rolls for the duration of the spell.

:Night_Sight

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : D,R,T

This allows the caster and targets to see as well at night as in day.
It does NOT help against magical darkness....

:No_Trespassing

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : N

When this informational spell is cast the mage is immediately told
if he/she is trespassing on private property and if so exactly who
owns the property.

:Nude_Mood

   COST   : 25
   MODS   : R,T

Cast at a single being this forces them into a compulsive behavior to
immediately strip off all clothes and armour to stand naked (it does NOT
cause the removal of jewelry). Once they have completed this they will
return to their senses and have to deal with the situation.

TARGETS is only used if the targets involved are within 10' of each other.

:Phantasmal_Force

    COST   : 25
    MODS   : D,R

This spell creates the illusion of any object, creature, or force, as
long as it is within the boudaries of the spell's area of effect, being
upto a 40 cubic feet in size per RANK of the Spell.

The illusion is visual and affects all believing creatures (undead are
immune) that view it. It does not create sound, smell, or temperature.
Effects that depend of these senses usually fail.  The illusion lasts
until struck by an opponent--unless the spellcaster causes the illusion
to react appropriately--or until the wizard ceases concentration upon the
spell (due to desire, moving, or a successful attack that causes damage)
or due to its duration ending.  Creatures that disbelieve the illusion
see it for what it is.  Creatures believing the illusion are subject to
its effects.

   The illusionary effect can be moved by the caster within the limits
of the area of effect. The GM has to rule on the effectiveness of this
spell.

:Plant_Growth

    COST   : 25
    MODS   : D,R

When cast on any plant, sprout or seeds it will cause such to grow
to full size instantly. If the plant is full grown already then it
will DOUBLE the size of plant, but only for the duration. It cannot
be cast upon dead plants, only living ones.

:Poison_Thorns

     COST    : 20
     MODS    : R

This creates a spray of poisonous plant thorns at the target. 1d10 such
thorns are created per RANK of the spell. A prowness roll is made by the
target against EACH thorn. A Failed roll means they were scratched by the
thorn and receive 1d10 poison damage (Dwarves and similarly poison
resistant creatures are unaffected by this attack in that they will ONLY
receive 1 point damage per thorn, period). ARMOUR does not help vs this
attack, but a SHIELD may be used to deflect the entire attack if
successful otherwise rule applies as above. Thorns are NOT reusable.

:Pooka

      COST   : 25
      MODS   : N

A Pooka is a created spirit, in the shape of an animal or mythical
creature, which takes on an animal-like intelligence and obeys the
commands of its creator. Besides the initial energy cost to create
it the Caster also must spend permanently 1 Magic Capacity Point
(or the 250 eps equiv) so that it will be self-sustaining.

The Pooka can be used as a guardian of a grove, of the creators
home or some such. It is primarily useful against Non-mundanes,
But does affect mundanes slightly by its presence. Non-Mundanes
will become nervous in its presence and may be 'spooked' into
leaving the area (saves vs INT being needed by them) from a mild
fear effect.

Non-Mundanes may perceive the creature as it sits upon the Astral
Plane. It can reach out and affect a non-mundane on the material
plane or affect Astral travellers.

      HTK                20/Rank
      Magic Resistance   5%/Rank
      Initiative Base    25
      Damage Attack      1d10 vs Material Non-Mundanes
                         1d10 + 1/Rank Vs Astral

The attack may appear different based on the form: A Panther would
claw attack, a Dragon would breathe fire, a Spider would Bite, etc.

While the caster is present the pooka can also act as an Unseen
servant of sorts for them.

Pookas can ONLY be harmed by Astral harming spells. They cannot be
charmed, held or entrapped. The Druid MUST sacrifice to them on the
FULL MOON each month a Quantity of alcoholic beverage to help sustain
their existance (spirits for the spirit!).

A Pooka can produce poltergeist like effects if that is the instruction
left it instead of actual combat, annoying beings.

:Preservation

      COST   : 5
      MODS   : N

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

containers upto that size factor.

:Protection_from_Constriction

   COST    : 3
   MODS    : D

When cast, a Protection from Constriction spell will mitigate crushing
damage taken each round from a single attack form.  Up to five points per
rank of the spell is deducted from crushing damage.  Note that
this does not mitigate damage from crushing weapons or falling; it will
protect against constriction, bear hugs, Bigby's Crushing Hand, or any
similar gradual compression.

:Protection_From_Spirits

      COST   : 15
      MODS   : D,R,T

This spell will protect the caster or subject target from all damage
and draining effects inflicted by a non-corporeal 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.

:Remove_Curse

    COST   : 25
    MODS   : D,R

This removes ANY curse type spell on a being or item permanently.

:Remove_Fear

    COST   : 3

points of cold damage to protect the target from harm.

:Sandrunning

    COST   : 1
    MODS   : D

with sinking or floundering.

:Sedate_Animal

     COST    : 7
     MODS    : D,R,T

collapse asleep for the duration (subject gets a HARD save vs the
effect). Additional RANKS minus 10% from the save of the target animal.

:See_Invisible

    COST   : 1
    MODS   : D,T

Allows the caster to see any invisible creatures, including persons
under and invisibility spell or camouflaged, and similarly invisible
objects. It will NOT detect Astral or Ethereal Plane travelers. It will
also see thru Phantasmal Force Spells.

   RANGE is unnecessary with this spell, as it is set at LOS only.

:Shape_Wood

    COST   : 20
    MODS   : R

This spell allows the caster to shape an existing quantity of wood to
suit their own desires and needs. The wood can be reformed, but its mass
cannot be increased in the process of the spell (it can be REDUCED
though). Thus a crossbow might be shaped and its wooden parts turned
into a large bowl (the metal parts would fall off in the process), a
plank might be made into a quarterstaff, a table could be made into a
chair or a chair into a wooden shield. Once affected the results remain
for good. The spell does NOT change the quality of the wood or its type
in the process. This spell can also NEGATE the effects of WARP_WOOD*

:Sleep

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : D,R,T

   When a wizard casts a sleep spell, he causes a comatose slumber to
come upon one or more creatures (other than undead and certain other
creatures specifically excluded from the spell's effects).  All
creatures to be affected by the sleep spell must be within 30 feet of
each other. The center of the area of effect is determined by the
spellcaster.
   Slapping or wounding awakens affected creatures but normal noise does
not. Awakening requires one entire round.  Magically sleeping opponents
can be attacked with substantial bonuses (Prowness 1)

:Speed

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : D,R,T

Allows the caster or subject beings to move consistently at maximum
speed. This means they get a +20 to all initiative rolls.

:Spell_Shield

    COST   : 25
    MODS   : D,R,T

Places an auras around the caster or a target being that protects
against ALL damage causing spells aimed directly at them (Does not
block non-damaging spells or AREA EFFECTS), reducing their damage
to MINIMAL - so if a damage spell does 1d10 normally, it will only
do 1 point of damage on hitting.

:Spell_Trace

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : R,T

Cast on an object or on a target of a recently discharged spell, this
will give the mage an image of the caster who originally cast the spell.

:Spike_Stones

        COST   : 25
        MODS   : R

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.

:Starlight

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : D

This spell illuminates an area as a cloudless outdoor night sky filled
with stars.  This light is pale and wan, and dilutes vision mostly to
black and white.  Full visual acuity is possible only out to a range of
10 yards, but general identification can be made out to 20 yards.

Stationary figures can be made out at 40 yards, and movement detected
out to 80 yards.  Intervening cover will, of course, reduce sighting
distances accordingly.  This light does not interfere with infravision,
and there are ample shadows within the area of effect to hide in.  The
illusionary component of the spell creates the appearance of an actual
starry night sky.

:Sterilize

   COST   : 5
   MODS   : R

   This spell, only recently developed, is used to deal not with beings
but with objects. It allows the quick killing of any germs or disease
oriented spells and effects on an object, preventing them from spreading
diseases, plagues etc. It is often used on medical tools, clothing and
the like used with a diseased patient. Each additional RANK allows
another object to be affected by the casting.

:Stinking_Cloud

    COST   : 12
    MODS   : D,R

When a stinking cloud is cast the mage causes a billowing mass of
nauseous vapors to come into being in a 10' radius circle at the point
of targeting (additional 10'/Rank of spell). Any creature within the
cloud (except those who cannot smell or breathe) are helpless as long
as they remain inside the cloud, retching and coughing. Once outside
the cloud it takes a full round before the victim of such to be able
to act other than movement.

The cloud remains for the duration, unless blowing away by breezes etc

:SunScreen

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : D,R,T

This spell was, it is believed, developed by a Drow mage to protect
against the effects of the daytime sun. It prevents the hindrance to
eyesight caused by extremely bright sun by partially polarizing the
subjects eyes when in extreme light (It also protects against all FLASH
type effects that blind momentarily by bright light) and also prevents
skin burning problems from extreme sun. Besides it uses for Drow it has
also proved useful to mages in the Desert or Wastelands areas where the
sun is VERY direct and it helps against snow blindness too.

:Taunt

    COST   : 15
    MODS   : D,R

   A taunt spell enables the caster to jape and jeer effectively at a
single type of creature with Intelligence. The caster need not speak the
language of the creatures.  His words and sounds have real meaning for
the subject creature or creatures: challenging, insulting, and generally
irritating and angering the listeners.  Those failing to save vs.
INTUITION rush forth in fury to do battle with the spellcaster.  All
affected creatures attack the spellcaster in melee if physically capable
of doing so, seeking to use body or hand-held weapons rather than missile
weapons or spells.

   Separation of the caster from the victim by an impenetrable or
uncrossable boundary (a wall of fire, a deep chasm, a formation of set
pikemen) causes the spell to break.  If the caster taunts a mixed group,
he must choose the type of creature to be affected.

   If used in conjunction with a ventriloquism spell, the creatures
may attack the apparent source, depending upon their Intelligence, a
leader's presence, and so on.

:Trackless

    COST   : 1
    MODS   : D,R,T

   This spell prevents the caster or target from leaving footprints of any
kind, including the heat traces visible by infravision, as their appendages
do not quite touch the surface they are passing over, and thus leave no
prints or residue.

:Transfer_Energy

      COST   : 1
      MODS   : D,R,T

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 transferred to a non-mage
being unless they are magical in nature. Only RAW energy *not HUNG
spells* can be transferred this way.

:Treacherous_Tripwire

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : D

One wire (up to 10' long) can be stretched across a hall, or such.  The
wire becomes camouflaged -- undetectable w/o find traps.  The first
creature to attempt to pass must save vs. Prowness or be caught when the
wire springs free.  The magical wire will twine tightly about the ankles
of its victim, tripping him. If the victim saves then the trap remains
set until triggered or until its duration expires.

It must then be tediously untangled (or sawed loose) which will take at
least 3-6 rounds under ideal conditions.  If hacked loose in combat, it
will take 3 rounds.

Once untangled/broken the wire will fade away into nothingness.

:Tree_Speech

    COST   : 25
    MODS   : D

This allows the caster to establish a mental conversational link
with a Tree to request of it information or to provide information
to it. Thus a mage might learn of all who passed by such a tree,
who caused it harm, how long since an event occurred etc.

The tree can either speak in words or in images to the caster,
dependent on its own inclination. The spell works on anything from
a seedling to a full grown tree but fails against dead wood.

:Tree_Swipe

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : D,R,T

By use of this spell, the caster will control a tree branch for the
duration of the spell.  The caster can make the branch wave, attack,
fan a small breeze, etc.  If the branch attacks, it does so with a
prowness of 75% and will do 1d10+2 damage. This spell works only on
full size trees.

If multiple TARGETS are purchased they can only be applied to other
branches on the same tree.

    COST   : 15
    MODS   : N

:Voice_of_the_Bat

    COST   : 12
    MODS   : D

     This spell grants the caster the ability to use sonar to "see"
and move safely at a normal rate in the dark, even in magical
darkness.  The caster can tell size and general shape of objects up
to 10 yards away in any direction s/he faces.  The caster must
actively concentrate to "see" her/his surroundings, but merely ceasing
concentration does not end the spell, and the caster may resume the
sonar again within the spell's duration.

     COST   : 25
     MODS   : R

it or being thrown against it in some way or otherwise coming into
contact with the thorns will receive 2d10 damage and have to save
vs HARDINESS or take another 1d10 of poison damage from them.

The wall lasts until destroyed and is otherwise non-magical in
nature. If grown on a wooden surface removing it will damage the
wood of the floor as they have grown FROM it.
