:Entertainer_Tradition Entertainers are one of the most VISIBLE of the Traditions, for they use their magics not so much for serious pursuits but to entertain and perplex Mundanes and others, and to help hide the fact to them in the process that magic really exists, by actually doing it... Required Skills : Concealment Escape Artistry Pocket Picking (Includes Sleight of hand) Reading/Writing Theatre Arts Suggested Skills : Acrobatics Alertness Contortionist Disguise Find/Remove/Set Traps Gambling Hiding In Shadows Juggling Lip Reading Magical History Rope Use Stealth Swimming Tightrope Walking Trapeeze Ventriloquism Voice Mimicry Restrictions & Capabilities : +1% Success to cast for each MUNDANE Watching -20% if Not using Hand Gestures -20% if not able to speak/use magic 'words' -20% if Casting with HOSTILE intent to a living Target Cannot Ritual Cast Tools use for spells gets 2 points of reduction per tool in use per rank instead of 1 (to Min. of 1) Tools do NOT increase casting time for them, unlike other Traditions. A Failure to cast is ALWAYS a Spell Klutz Cannot be a Hermetic Mage :Affect_Normal_Fires COST : 3 MODS : D,R This spell enables the wizard to cause non-magical fires--from a torch or lantern to as large as a 10' radius ---to reduce in size and brightness to become mere coals or increase in light to become as full daylight and increase the illumination to double the normal radius. This does not affect either fuel consumption or damage caused by the fire. The caster can affect any or all fires in the spell's area. He can alter their intensities with a gesture as long as the spell is in effect. The spell lasts until the caster cancels it, all fuel is burned, or the duration ends. The caster can also extinguish all flames in the area, which expends the spell immediately. The spell does not affect fire elementals or similar creatures. :Animate_Object COST : 15 MODS : D,R,T 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, wheelbarrow etc). Objects animated in this way cannot fight, but may block an attack by interceding. They are imbued 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 mannequin 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. :Audible_Glamour COST : 3 MODS : D,R When the audible glamour spell is cast, the wizard causes a volume of sound to arise, and seem to recede, approach, or remain a fixed place as desired. The volume of sound created, however, is directly related to the rank of the spell. The volume is that of four men, maximum. Thus, talking, singing, shouting, walking, marching, or running sounds can be created. The auditory illusion created by the spell can be virtually any type of sound, but relative volume must be commensurate. A horde of rats running and squeaking is about is about the same as eight men running and shouting. A roaring lion is equal to 16 men, while a roaring dragon is equal to the noise volume of no fewer than 24 men. :Banishment COST : 25 MODS : R Cast at a being from another plane, this spell forces them to return instantly to their plane and the subject cannot return to this one without being summoned back. The Target DOES get a saving throw. Fails against creatures native to the plane. Banishment is NOT considered a Hostile act, unless returning a being to its native plain would result in death or pain. :Beauty COST : 3 MODS : D,R This spell is cast upon a being of sentience only. It enhanced their Appearance magically for the duration by 10 points. It is often used by Female Mages to enhance their natural 'talents'. Unlike 'Friends' it does NOT directly influence others and thus has no detrimental effects, or concepts of deception. Additional RANKS add 1 to the gained points. :Bigby's_Groping_Fingers COST : 1 MODS : D,R,T This spell allows the caster "grope" his/her target. This spell is usually used by mischievous apprentices in bars and such... have fun! RANGE is vital to make this spell useful! :Bigby's_Interposing_Hand COST : 15 MODS : D This creates a HUGE-sized magic hand which appears between the caster and an opponent. This disembodied hand then remain between the two, regardless of what the spellcaster does or how the opponent tries to get around it. The hand is about the size of the caster. It may be harmed by spells and normal weapons, but can absorb all damage until it hits its limit, which is 100 points per RANK of the spell. :Blur COST : 5 MODS : D,R This causes the casters (or target being's) outline to become blurred, shifting and waivers. This distortion causes all missile and melee combats to be -20% normal chance to hit as well as for all magic attacks directed at the target exactly. :Broomstick_Enchantments COST : 25 MODS : D This spell is cast upon an ordinary broomstick and causes it to become capable of performing several functions upon the need of the caster: First it can animate the broom to sweep an area clean of debris for the duration of the spell. This is its simplest function. Second the broomstick can be ordered to act as a servant, and it will sprout small arms with 3 fingered hands that can manipulate objects and animate and move about fetching or carrying for the caster at any task it is order to do. (Shades of Mickey Mouse here) Third it can be made to levitate and to take flight, moving at a speed twice that of a running man, while ridden (it can carry about 200 lbs total weight) and at command of the rider. This is its most complex function. :Bubbles_Of_Euphoria COST : 15 MODS : D,R This spell summons or generates some giant 'soap bubbles' that will float around the area where they were ranged to. Those within the area must save vs prowness each round of the effect to avoid touching and bursting one of the bubbles. If they fail and touch one it bursts, and releases a strange gas effect on them - because of its nature it WILL bypass a minor globe of invulnerability and it will work on a being with magic resistance. The gas causes a feeling of Euphoria in the being, which will make them smile and laugh at foolish things. This will distract mages who are spellcasting, even those with IRONMIND spells active, reducing their chance to cast by 25%, and it will reduce any resistances to sleep, charm or non-damaging spells by this same amount. The effect of the Euphoria lasts for the duration. Area of effect is a 10' radius from the range point, and the caster CAN be affected by their own spell in this case if they cast it in too confined an area! Each additional rank adds 10' to the radius. :Change_Self COST : 5 MODS : D This spell enables the wizard to alter the appearance of his form--including clothing and equipment--to appear one foot shorter or taller; thin, fat, or in between; humanoid, or any other generally bipedal creature. The caster cannot duplicate a specific individual. The DM may allow a saving throw for disbelief under certain circumstances: for example, if the caster acts in a manner obviously inconsistent with his chosen role. The spell does not alter the perceived tactile (i.e., touch) properties of the caster or his equipment, and the ruse may be discovered in this way. :Chronoport COST : 15 MODS : D,R This spell can be cast on the caster or on a target being or object, and is limited to a maximum of effectiveness equal to 25 lbs per RANK of the spell (thus for a man-sized object 5 or more ranks are needed). Unlike a teleport, a Chronoport moves the target forward in TIME instead of in space. Thus they disappear from sight and reappear in the future at the actual Duration's end. Once cast there is NO way to cancel the spell or dispell it. The target does not age in the interium period of time so they arrive only 1 round after their departure as far as they are concerned but could in actuallity have spent hours, days or even years being away while the spell progressed. If the space they had occupied on departure has been filled with another object they will arrive randomly in a nearby open space. :Cleanliness COST : 3 MODS : D,R,T 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 every way superior. Duration is Necessary for this spell to be valuable. :Cloud_Walk COST : 12 MODS : D,R,T This spell allows the recipient to walk on any form of fog, cloud, or smoke as if it were solid. The recipient may move at normal movement rate, plus the movement rate of the smoke. The smoke must be reasonably thick, reducing visibility significantly... This spell will not allow walking on fine mist. :Color_Change COST : 3 MODS : D,R Cast upon a target being or object it changes its external color to one specified by the caster for the duration. This is primarily an annoying spell but can also be useful in some situations. Maximum area of affect is 10 cubic Feet per RANK. It CAN be cast upon light to change its spectrum as well. :Color_Spray COST : 5 MODS : R Upon casting this spell, the wizard causes a vivid, fan-shaped spray of clashing colors to spring forth from his hand. Creatures within the area are affected in order of increasing distance from the wizard. All are entitled to a saving throw vs. magic. Blind or unseeing creatures are not affected by this spell. Creatures failing saving are stunned for 1d10 rounds. Range will determine the maximum range from Caster that creatures can be to be affected. :Complex_Illusion COST : 15 MODS : D,R 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 merely 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. :Costume_Change COST : 5 MODS : N This allows a mage to change into an official costume for their performance instantly. They must have a specified performing costume premade (they can have 1 per RANK of the spell) and in storage somewhere known to them (in a trunk, wardrobe, Closet etc). On casting the spell their current clothes change places with the costume (or vice versa at the end of a performance). Range is NOT a factor. A Player Character who has this spell should make a list of their prepared costumes and their contents for the stage etc. :Costume_Change_Others COST : 20 MODS : N Like the standard Costume_Change* but this time the spell is cast on an assistant, Volunteer etc and switches their clothes for the costume chosen. This is often also used as humerous, like turning the volunteers nice 3 piece suit into an Easter Bunny outfit while on stage! The target is covered in a whirling swirl of color while the change occurs. :Create_Spring COST : 5 MODS : D This spell is cast upon natural rock or earth and causes a spring of fresh water to bubble forth from it, putting out about five gallons of water per hour. It is a great means of bringing water to a desert, irrigating crops etc. :Dancing_Lights COST : 3 MODS : D,R,T This causes 1d10 of small glowing lights to appear that resemble candles and produce that amount of light that move as the caster desires. The spell winks out if they are moved beyond the range. If targeted they can be made to follow around a target being to provide light, so long as within range. Additional Ranks add 1 additional light to the rolled amount. :Darkness_Field COST : 5 MODS : D,R This creates an area of darkness at a chosen area that is impossible for NORMAL sight to see thru. The darkness field is 10' cube per RANK the spell is known at. The field can be dispelled by ANY light spell cast within its area, unless the spell is known at RANK 3 or better. :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. :Demonic_Barber COST : 20 MODS : R This spell creates a physical manifestation that appears to be a demon with humanoid form but goat-like legs and small horns with barbed tail wearing a long leather apron with pockets. The target being will find themselves in a Barber chair and the demon will then give them a proper haircut and styling over the next 3 rounds. The target cannot leave the chair but may act otherwise in any way they wish but cannot physically or magically harm the demon (except dispell it). They will have a perfect haircut and suffer no harm from the demon (but they may be attacked by others while the coiffeur is occurring). A resistant target gets a save vs Prowness to avoid the chair when the spell is first cast. :Demon_Tailor COST : 25 MODS : D,T This summons a tiny winged red demon the size of a mouse that is an expert in the art of sewing and magical clothing alterations. The demon can alter an existing set of clothes to fit the caster in one round if so ordered, even if there is insufficient material. It can also be ordered to turn raw materials into a set of clothes the caster has in mind for their own wearing in a full minute (10 rounds). If neither raw materials nor existing clothes exist but the caster wishes it and has placed enough duration into the spell, the Mage can ask the demon to craft a set of clothes to the mages specifications entirely from magic (Takes a full hour). The clothes will have the property, if formed this way, to neither wrinkle nor stain and will adjust to fit the wearer no matter how their body shape may change, so long as it remains humanoid. Multiple Targets are bought ONLY if the mage is having clothes made for someone else. The Demon cannot produce armour of any kind. :Detect_Illusions COST : 5 MODS : D Allows the caster to see thru ALL Illusions encountered while the spell duration is in effect, wether caused by magical spell or magic abilities of specific creatures. :Detect_Magic COST : 3 MODS : R This spell causes all magic on the target being/object to be shown in that it will glow with the color of its Guildtype(s). Duration is not needed to be purchased, and it is cast at the suspect target. :Detect_Traps COST : 5 MODS : D Allows the caster to determine if anything in sight is a Trap. Range is not used with this spell, nor is target, as it simply notifies the caster of traps. If the caster wishes to determine what the trap is an Intuition save is needed, and if successful can state what the trap is and may be able to disarm it. :Dimensional_Depth COST : 15 MODS : D This spell is cast on a container, a pocket, purse, sack, Pouch, Suitcase, Chest, trunk, crate, etc. What it does is expand the interior dimensions of the container into another pocket dimension, approximately 5'x 5' x 5' per RANK of the spell. Objects placed inside are held in stasis, unaging, while within the container. It is a spell often used by mages needing more space then they have available (objects within have no weight perceivable in the outside world) or by thieves. You cannot place a living creature or being within the space as a prolonged stay of more than a round would result in death. At Third Rank this spell becomes impossible to DISPELL before its duration ends. :Dispel_Illusion COST : 5 MODS : R This will cancel ANY illusionary effect instantly and finally. :Dispel_Magic COST : 10 MODS : D,R This will cancel a specific ongoing spell effect. If cast on an ITEM it will prevent the items magic from functioning for the duration of the spell being canceled, but then the item will turn back on until its duration is up. It will NOT send away a summoned creature, undo a healing spell or cause harm to a magical creature directly. Unwilling targets get a Save vs INT against Dispel :Dispelling_Curtain COST : 20 MODS : D,R This spell is used to set up a shimmering violet energy screen in a curtain form that the caster desires (Can be a maximum of 10' x 10' per RANK of the spell, but NO lower limit). Any creature passing thru it will have active spells on them affected by a Dispell Magic that is slightly more powerful than an ordinary one - this one CAN affect the results of spell klutzs 50% of the time, and CAN shut down any Globe of Invulnerability or Globe of Minor Invulnerability, but cannot shut off curse affects or any spell that was at rank 5 or greater. The Dispelling Curtain will NOT work against items, only beings. :Dispel_Silence COST : 3 MODS : D,R When cast, this spell automatically dispels any magical silence within its area of effect. Furthermore, no silence spell will have effect within the area of effect for the duration of the spell. Area is a 15' Globe at the target point. This can be increased by buying more RANKS of the spell. Stealth FAILS inside a Dispell Silence Field. :Dry COST : 1 MODS : R Dry will dry any one garment or piece of clothing that is damp, wet or soaked, upto 3 square yards per RANK. It can also be used to dry out other objects that can become wet or damp, such as paper. If cast on a container or pool of liquid it will dry such out to some extent (upto one PINT of such). :Dust_Spray COST : 3 MODS : R This causes to spray out from the casters hand a stream of Fine Dust and ashe at a target. If this is fired at a being then they get a save vs PROW to avoid being blinded by the effect for 1d10 Rounds. It can also be used to enhance a Dust_Devil or Similar Air Elemental, to cover a trail with dust and ashe to avoid detection, or to dirty a persons clothes or a surface like a floor. The dust remains after the spell ends. :Elemental_Burst_Of_Wood COST : 10 MODS : R 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. :Enhanced_Phantasmal_Force COST : 7 MODS : D,R This spell is a Phantasmal force with Sight and Sound and (optionally) smell, but not substance. The enhanced Phantasmal Force can cover a 10' x 10' x 10' area at the stated range per RANK and can move anywhere from that range to the caster as the caster chooses. While working this spell the caster cannot cast another spell (but may prepare one) or engage in HTH combat except defensively. If the caster moves the Force will remain always within range of the caster. Upon casting another spell the Force will cease to move by the will of the caster, but will simply freeze frame where it is until the duration ends. It will continue the last ordered sound and smell output. :Enlarge/Reduce COST : 10 MODS : D,R This spell causes instant growth of a creature or object, increasing size and weight. It can be cast only upon a single creature or upon a single object that does not exceed ten cubic feet in volume per caster level. The object or creature must be seen to be affected. It grows by up to 10% per rank of the spell, increasing this amount in height, width, and weight. All equipment worn or carried by a creature is enlarged by the spell. Unwilling victims are entitled to a saving throw vs. spell. A successful saving throw means the spell fails. If insufficient room is available for desired growth, the creature or object attains the maximum possible size, bursting weak enclosures in the process, but it is constrained without harm by stronger materials--the spell cannot be used to crush a creature by growth. Magical properties are not increased by this spell--a huge sword +1 is still only +1, a staff-sized wand is still only capable of its normal functions, a giant-sized potion merely requires a greater fluid intake to make its magical effects operate, etc. Weight, mass, and strength are affected. Thus, a table blocking a door would be heavier and more effective, a hurled stone would have more mass (and cause more damage), chains would be more massive, doors thicker, a thin line turned to a sizeable, longer rope, and so on. The reverse spell, reduce, negates the enlarge spell or makes creatures or objects smaller. The creature or object loses 10% of its original size for every rank of the spell, to a minimum of 10% of the original size. Thereafter, the size shrinks by one foot increments to less than a foot, by one-inch increments to one inch, and by 1/10 increments to 1/10 of an inch--the recipient cannot dwindle away to nothingness. :Erase COST : 3 MODS : R The erase spell removes writings of either magical or mundane nature from a scroll or from one or two pages of paper, parchment, or similar surfaces. It removes explosive runes, glyphs of warding, sepia snake sigils, and wizard marks, but it does not remove illusionary script; Nonmagical writings are automatically erased. :Everburning COST : 3 MODS : D,R This spell is cast on a currently burning log, candle or other natural (non-magical) flame source and will allow it to continue burning for the duration of the spell without consuming any of its material components in the process until the end of the spell. :Extinguish_Fire COST : 1 MODS : R This will extinguish any fire within range radius. :Fall_Short COST : 15 MODS : D,T Target being this is cast on has their range illusionary modified so that they will appear to drift back and forth to a viewer, causing their range to distort. Anyone firing a ranged weapon at the target must make an Intuition ROLL (Perception, alertness cannot be applied as a skill vs this) to properly perceive the targets range - if they fail they will automatically miss with their attack. Anyone making a HTH attack vs the target being is -10% normal chances to hit because of the effect. Anyone using a ranged spell (non-touch) to hit must also make a perception roll to properly gauge the range to the caster OR must pay for EXTREME (20 point ballista range) to ensure to hit the target, or they will be subject to the effect as if a ranged attack with a weapon. :Feather_Fall COST : 1 MODS : D,R When this spell is cast, the target(s) affected immediately assumes the mass of a piece of down. Rate of falling is instantly changed to a mere two feet per second (120 feet per round), and no damage is incurred upon landing while in effect. When the spell duration ceases, normal rate of fall occurs. The feather fall affects one or more objects or creatures in a 10-foot cube per rank. :Find_Mundane_Object COST : 25 MODS : N This spell will help the caster 'find' a generic mundane object that they specify in their general vacinity. The object will be in a pocket, sack, container, behind a nearby place or whatever and appear that it had been there all along. Usually it requires the use of a verbal or mental phrase like "If we only had a rope!" or "What we couldn't do with a crowbar right now". The object has no magical properties whatsoever (its mundane!) and doesn't vanish or fade away. The spell does limit the item to a mundane one from the equipment list that would fit within the general area the caster is in (no making automobiles appear out of pockets!), and should be of a maximum of 5 lbs per rank and cost no more than $5 per rank. The object CAN, in the case of the Entertainer, be LARGER than the locale it is being drawn from, upto twice the size of the locale, since it is being drawn extradimensionally from elsewhere. :Fire_Dart COST : 3 MODS : N 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. Non-Magical armour (except Leather) does NOT help against the attack. :Fishing_Net COST : 10 MODS : R This summons and causes to drop on the target area a 10' square fishing net that entangles anything inside it. The Net can be cut away in another round of activity, if no cutting tools are available anything caught in it gets a roll vs Prowness each round afterwards to try to untangle themselves and escape. The net is non-magical. :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 : 1 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. :Free_Action COST : 5 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. :Gaze_Reflection_(Mara's_Miracle) COST : 3 MODS : D This spell will cause any GAZE oriented spell or natural power to be reflected back at its source entirely to affect them instead of the caster. Additionally this will (at will) materialize a 'mirror' in front of the caster which they alone can see in which they can view their own reflection (While acting as a mirror the spell does NOT work against a gaze attack) or use a gaze spell of some sort on themselves. :Glow COST : 1 MODS : D,R This spell causes the object or person affected to emit an eery glow. The color ranges from blue to green. It cannot be dispelled but it can be negated by a darkness spell. The glow is not bright enough to read with but is easy to spot in the dark. The material component is a silver firefly figurine. If cast on an invisibility :Grease COST : 5 MODS : D,R A grease spell covers a material surface with a slippery layer of a greasy nature. Any creature entering the area or caught in it when the spell is cast must save vs prowness or slip, skid, and fall. Those who save can reach the nearest non greased area by the end of the round. Those who remain in the area are allowed a saving throw each round until they escape the area. The GM should adjust saving throws by circumstance; for example, a creature charging down an incline that is suddenly greased has little chance to avoid the effect, but its ability to exit the affected area is almost assured! The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item--a rope ladder rungs, weapon handle etc. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while creatures wielding or employing items receive a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw is failed, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made each round the creature attempts to use the greased item. Grease affects as little as a square foot and a maximum equal to The Casters known RANK * 5 Square feet . :Guardian_Demon COST : 30 MODS : D 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 mandatory 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. Additional Ranks add 5 HTK to the demon, +1 to its trident damage and an additional +1 to the fireballs effect. :Hair_Color COST : 3 MODS : R This will change the color of the body hair of a being or creature, and the effect will last until the hair grows out or is colored again by a spell. This effect cannot be dispelled. :Hairy COST : 1 MODS : D,R This spell will cause a target to begin to grow hair. If the target already HAS hair it will simply excellerate the growth process. If the target normally doesn't have hair then it will cause it to grow hair (yes, with this you CAN grow hair on a billiard ball!). The rate of growth is 1 inch per ROUND of duration. Long durations are NOT suggested with this spell. :Haunting_Sounds COST : 1 MODS : D The spell causes a strange haunting sound (see list that follows) within 30' of the caster (no extended range available), like those associated with haunted places. List : Creak, Footfall, Groan, Moan, Rattle, Tap, Thump, Whistle. If duration is cast with the spell then the sound will remain in the area it is originally cast and NOT follow the caster as he/she moves about. :Hey_Bartender COST : 10 MODS : N This summons a magical demonic bartender with a cabinet of all sorts of alcoholic drinks. He/she will request of the caster's preference and will fill the order within a round and then both he and the cabinet will vanish. :Hide COST : 1 MODS : D This is a minor form of invisibility which will conceal an object, being or creature from everyone who is in FRONT of the caster (Those who are beside or behind the caster can see the hidden object without hinderance). It does not cancel sounds and it will not help if the target moves more than 3' from its original position while hidden. It can only affect a maximum of 10 cubic feet of matter. If cast for but one round the spell takes but a single round to cast, if duration is wanted then the effect takes the standard 3 rounds to cast. :Hold_Portal COST : 5 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. :Hypnotism COST : 5 MODS : D,R,T The target creature(s) become susceptable to suggestions from the caster that are delivered vocally in a language that they understand. The caster must give the SAME suggestion to all targets immediately after the casting of the spell. :Illusionary_Script COST : 5 MODS : N This spell enables the caster to write instructions or other information. The Illusionary script appears to be some form of foreign or magical writing. Only the person(s) who the caster desires to read the writing will be able to do so, although it can be recognized by another Orange Mage. Others attempting to read it will become confused for 1d10 rounds (save vs Intuition), unable to act or think straight and likely to wander aimlessly or simply sit down where they stand. The script does NOT vanish after being read. Additional Ranks of the spell increase the confusion by another d10. :Invisibility COST : 25 MODS : D,R,T Caster, subject being or subject object becomes invisible to normal sight. This adds 50% to their prowness for defensive and offensive purposes. This is NOT perfect invisibility, the eyes on a person will be visible while open and may be noticed. Also if an invisible being is wounded their blood will become visible when it strikes the ground. If a person their equipment will be included in the effect, BUT if they fire a missile weapon or throw such it will become visible after leaving their presence. Caster can turn off the spell at will. An invisible person can be partially discovered thru infravision (instead of 50% prowness modifier it becomes only a 25% modifier). Once turned off the spell MUST be recast in full. :Knock COST : 5 MODS : R This will open a sealed door or object, sealed by magic or by mundane means, instantly. It does NOT remove traps or spells. :Levitation COST : 20 MODS : D This spell allows the caster to rise up thru the air in a mentally assisted movement, or equally move downward or hover. Levitation is at a speed of 5' maximum per round per rank and the caster controls the speed of ascent/descent entirely. Levitation is NOT flight. :Luggage COST : 25 MODS : D This spell is cast on a container of some sort - a Suitcase, Backpack, Chest, Wardrobe, or chest of Drawers. The item is usually individualized, sometimes excessively. It causes it to become magical it is placed upon the ethereal plane and can be recalled by the caster by means of a command word (or anyone else who knows the word) so that it will appear within a few feet of its maker on the material plane when called. Oftentimes mages will add various protections and traps on the container to preserve it from possible tampering by ethereal travelers and creatures when it is away. While on the ethereal plane the container will travel along under its own magical power, on little tiny legs, so that it is always near its owner. The mage can also make one of these for someone else, using the TARGET option of casting, if willing, so that the target's energy will be the supply for keeping the spell active from that point on. This allows a mage to travel light without large amounts of excess equipment bogging down his/her. While on the material plane the container will continue to follow the mage around in a similar fashion until the mage gives the word of command again. :Make_Change COST : 1 MODS : N This spell is cast upon normal paper currency in the caster's hand into metal currency (coins) equalling the same total value. One paper bill can be affected per RANK of the spell. :Magic_Mouth COST : 1 MODS : R This is cast on an object or a surface (like a Wall). It will cause a mouth to appear on the item and repeat a statement specified by the caster in the voice the caster uses when casting it, upto 25 words in length, in a language known to the caster. The speaking will occur when a specific event occurs in a 30; radius of the mouth. Ex: Speak when anyone passes within range of you. Speak when a winged creature passes you. (It cannot detect Invisible, ethereal or astral creatures). Until the command can be completed the spell remains dormant and in effect. If it is wished for the spell to continue AFTER it has accomplished its function then you must learn multiple ranks of the spell (Each RANK adds another usage to the spell). :Melodramatic_Music COST : 3 MODS : D,R The spell causes the music to be played whenever the victim performs certain actions; such as entering a room, charging into battle, or making an announcement. It makes it nearly impossible to perform any stealth-oriented function. :Mending COST : 5 MODS : D,R This spell repairs small breaks or tears in objects. It will weld a broken ring, chain links, medallion, or dagger. Ceramic or wooden objects with multiple breaks can be invisibly rejoined to be as strong as new. A hole in a leather sack or wineskin is completely healed over by a mending spell. This spell does not, by itself, repair magical items of any type. If cast on damaged armour it restores upto 1d10 of lost absorption capability. Multiple TARGETS are not possible with this spell. If extra DURATION is bought it will restore damage to larger items at the 1d10 Hardiness rate, each round... in this way a broken wagon or even a house could be returned to its original state, so long as there had been no magic in its original state. :Message_Scroll COST : 15 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. :Metamorphose_Liquids COST : 5 MODS : R This spell transmutes one type of liquid into an equal amount of a different, nonmagical fluid (water, wine, blood, oil, etc.). The caster must torch the fluid itself (not simply its container) for the spell to take effect. Fluids can be transmuted only into nonmagical liquids; it is not possible to change a magical liquid into another type of magical liquid. Poisons may be rendered harmless through the use of this spell, but the spell has no effect on poisons already consumed. Living creatures are unaffected by the spell, excluding those from the elemental plane of water. Such creatures are allowed a saving throw vs. spell. Failure results in 3d10 damage per rank of the spell, while success indicates no damage. Only one creature can be affected by a single casting of this spell, regardless of the creature's size. :Minute_Ball_of_Fire COST : 5 MODS : R When a wizard casts this spell, a flaming bead launches from a pointed finger, speeds straight out to the stated range and explodes into a 10-foot diameter sphere of normal fire. Anyone caught within the spell's effect must take 1d10 points of damage, unless they make a successful Prowness roll. Multiple RANKS do not do extra damage with this spell, unlike a conventional fireball spell, and TARGETS is not a usable option. Since the fire is non-magical anything that normally protects against such DO apply. :Mirror_Image COST : 12 MODS : D,R,T When invoked, this causes 4 duplicates to appear of the target. These are illusions. They move about with the caster (or target) making it nearly impossible to tell which is the real one. This means that if a spell or attack is aimed at the target there is a saving throw made to see if they hit the being or an image. If they hit an image that image will disappear and the target takes no damage.... saving roll for the target/images from such attacks: 4 images present 80% 3 images present 75% 2 images present 66% 1 image present 50% Once all images are gone the spell ends, otherwise they last until the duration ends or the caster commands it to end. :Mislead COST : 30 MODS : D,R This spell places Assasin's_Invisibility* on the caster and at the same time creates an illusionary double where he/she was. The mage may then go about doing as they wish while controlling the illusion and having it move, speak, smell and even feel real for the duration. True Seeing will reveal what has occured. The Double cannot actually pick up or otherwise move matter on its own. If the caster moves outside thr range from the double then the double disappears with a popping sound like that of a teleport. :Mystic_Marbles COST : 5 MODS : R This spell causes to create one 1" diameter hard glass marble per square inch over an area ten feet by ten feet (a total of 14,400 glass marbles neatly filling the area), making an area of highly likely slipping and falling for anyone passing thru it. Duration and targets are not used in this spell, but range is. If instead of aiming the spell at a floor/stairs etc it is cast in the area above a being the marbles will rain down like a small hail storm doing 1d10 normal damage (armour absorbs etc) but ending with a very difficult area to travel thru. :Nude_Mood COST : 15 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. :Object_Castle COST : 3 MODS : R This will cause two objects to exchange places with each other. At least one of the objects must be in LOS and inside the range. The second object can either be within the range and LOS/in contact with the caster or be a memorized Object of the caster's. The two objects must be within 5 lbs of each others weight (this difference can be increased, doubling with each rank). The maximum sized item that can be castled is based on extra points spent in the casting, 1 point at rank 1 allows upto a 5 lb object, 1 point at rank 2 allows a 10 lb object, and so forth. You cannot castle an item that is bolted down or otherwise attatched to a surface. :Painting COST : 1 MODS : D,R By the means of this spell the caster can create an illusion of whatever s/he wants visually. It is usually easy to recognize what the illusion is supposed to be of, but any creature that can do so can also recognize that it is an illusion, as the picture is two dimensional. :Passwall COST : 20 MODS : D A passwall spell enables the caster to open a passage through wooden, plaster or stone walls or surfaces, and thus allowing himself and companions etc to simply walk thru. The spell creates a 5' high by 10' high by 10' deep opening. Additional ranks increase the depth of the passage. The passage vanishes when the duration ends. :Phantasmal_Force COST : 3 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 : 5 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. :Pleasure_Touch COST : 25 MODS : D This spell is cast on the caster primarily and gives his/her exposed skin an added special property that affects others that come in contact for the duration. Anyone touching the caster will feel EXTREME pleasure, as if in orgasm, simply from the contact. The effect is mental primarily, but if they fail a save vs HARD they also receive a Physical orgasm at the same time. After such a contact they react in the usual ways from such and are basically stunned and unable to act aggressively or to think too cohereantly (about -75% to perform anything but basic movements, with the exception of usage of tantrics skills), for about 1d10 + 1d10/RANK RNDS. If a physical reaction occured and the person touching was male then no further effect will occur on them by direct contact for at least 15 minutes. If the person in contact was female the touch will continue to produce reactions, but after the first touch effect they must save vs INT after each Physical reaction to remain conscious. Unconsciousness will last about an hour after being achieved. This spell is the closely guarded secret of many courtesans... :Polymorph_Object COST : 20 MODS : D,R This spell will change one inanimate object into another temporarily. The difficulty of casting this spell increases dependent on how different the original substances the object is compared to the ones being made into. Ex: Animal into vegetable matter is a -25% to cast, Vegetable Matter or Animal Matter into or from mineral matter is a -50%. If the new object has a lesser mass then there is another -10% modifier (you cannot take an object and convert it into a BIGGER object thru this spell!). If the casting is to convert an item into a VERY similar item of nearly the same material then there are NO reductions in chance to cast (Ex: Turning a longsword into a dagger has no special minuses to perform). :Pop COST : 20 MODS : R This spell is primarily named for the sound made when it is cast. The caster is teleported a short distance (based on RANGE) within their Line of Sight instantly with their equipment (upto 50 lbs). They cannot appear within a solid object. Each additional RANK adds 50 lbs to the carriable weight. :Programmed_Illusion COST : 20 MODS : D,R This is a Complex_Illusion* that is pre programmed 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. :Puff_Of_Smoke COST : 1 MODS : R Unlike Nearly every spell available this one takes but a single round, going off in the same round cast. It causes a puff of smoke at the target area, as small as a baseball or sufficient to cover the target for a round. It is a fast, flashy obscurement (the smoke can be any color the caster specifies). It is often used to startle a foe to get time to draw a weapon or device to move quickly a step or two aside or to draw attention to the spot where the smoke occurs (the puff is accompanied by a popping sound). It is often used by Showmen to be flashy and impressive. :Rainbow_Bridge COST : 20 MODS : D,R The caster creates with this a very visible rainbow to form a seven-hued bridge up to 3' wide per RANK and at least 20' long (adding an optional 20' long per RANK the spell is known at) that can hold any weight upto 2000 LBS /RANK upon it to cross it as a normal bridge. :Reconstruct COST : 3 MODS : D,R This spell temporarily resurrects an item that was shattered, burnt, or disintegrated, so that the forensic wizard may study it. He must gather as much of the debris as possible, for otherwise the object can be but partially reassembled, in which case it may be illegible or unidentifiable. The object will be very fragile, but it may be the subject of various divination spells such as identify or reveal owner. :Rope_Trick COST : 15 MODS : D When this spell is cast on a piece of rope from 5' to 30' in length. One end of the rope rises into the air until the whole is hanging perpendicular, as if affixed at the upper end. The upper end is, in fact, fastened in an extra-dimensional space, and the spell caster and upto 5 others can climb up the rope and disappear into this place of safety where no creature can find them. The rope can be pulled up behind them, otherwise it hangs down from the space. At spells durations end the contents of the space fall back into normal space, so getting out before it expires may be best to avoid falling damage. :Safe_Steel COST : 5 MODS : D,R,T This spell is cast on steel items of a maximum of 1 lb/rank each. It temporarily changes such into Foam Rubber, thus a dagger or sword becomes a child's plaything for the duration. The item MUST have no other metals in its composition (but can have other materials like wood, plastic etc which WILL remain unchanged). :Silent_Teleport_Object COST : 1 MODS : R Allows the caster to move an object within range to any locale within Range including within possession of the caster immediately. If the object is a container its contents will move with it. Additionally there is a cost of 5 spell points per 1 lbs of the objects weight at rank 1. This is increased for each rank (Rank 2 for example for the same 5 points can affect 2 lbs, Rank 3 can affect 3 lbs for 5 points etc). :Snow_Ball COST : 3 MODS : D,R 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. :Spider_Climb COST : 5 MODS : D,R,T By this spell, the creature can walk on any surface and not slip. The creature can walk on walls, ceilings, ice, etc. and not slip or slide (feet are like suction cups to the surface). :Spray_Of_Sparks COST : 3 MODS : D,R This causes a spray of pretty sparks to shoot forth from the targeted locale or from the caster's fingertips in an arc that extends 1' per rank. They are very impressive but do no real damage. :Summon_Object COST : 5 MODS : N This spell will summon to the caster any MEMORIZED object and its contents to within a foot of the caster. Beyond the base 5 points the caster pays 1 point per 5 lbs of weight. This increases with ranks so that at rank 2 it's 1 point per 10 lbs of weight, at rank 3 its 20 lbs, at rank 4 its 40 lbs and so forth. Summoned objects CANNOT be alive in any way. :Summon_Soapbubbles COST : 3 MODS : D,R This spell will summon a large number of soapbubbles at any point within range. The soapbubbles may be mildly distracting, but they cause no actual damage. Someone who has heard of Bubbles_of_Euphoria*, but not seen them, may mistake this spell for that one. Conversely, someone with experience with this spell may assume Bubbles_of_Euphoria* is a varient of this one, the first time they see it. :Summon_Taxi COST : 5 MODS : N Only castable in an Urban area, this will summon a taxicab to the street the caster is on, if there is one within a 1/8 mile radius (this increases per RANK) and the driver will bring it to a stop as close as possible to the caster safely and believe that they had received a call on their radio to pick up a fare at this address. :Summon_Water COST : 10 MODS : R This summons from the Elemental Plane of Water 5 gallons per RANK of pure drinking water into a touched container or at a ranged distance from the caster. It cannot be summoned into a living thing and if more is summoned then the container will hold (in the case of a container) the excess will NOT appear. If summoned in an area where there is no container then the full maximum amount will arrive. Water weighs about 8.5 pounds per gallon. :Telekinesis COST : 15 MODS : D,R By means of this spell the caster is able to move objects or beings by concentrating on moving them mentally. The spell can provide either a gentle, sustained force or a single, short violent thrust (for attack purposes). As a sustained force this enables the caster to move a weight of upto 25 Lbs/RANK of the spell a distance of 30' per round . The weight can be moved vertically or horizontally or both. Any objects moved beyond the spell's range falls or stops progressive movement. If the caster ceases concentration for any reason, the object falls or stops. The object can also be manipulated mentally as if with one's hands. For example a rope or lever may be pulled, an object rotated and so on. The caster could even do such things as untie ropes or other complex actions with manipulation (though the GM may judge an INT save is needed for some more complex actions to achieve them). Alternatively the spell energy can be used in single round 'attacks', exerting effect to hurl an object upto 30 feet away from its original position, within the weight limits as above. Damaged caused by hurled objects is decided by the GM, but usually you can assume that HARD objects do 1d10+(1pt/5 lbs weight). :Teleport_Object COST : 5 MODS : R Allows the caster to move an object within range to any locale that the caster chooses that has been visited and memorized by the caster, or into the possession of the caster immediately. Range is used for the actual range to the target object. Duration and Targets are unused options. If the object is a container its contents will move with it. Additionally there is a cost of 1 spell point per 5 lbs of the objects weight at rank 1. This is increased for each rank (Rank 2 for example for the same 1 point can affect 10 lbs, Rank 3 can affect 15 lbs for 1 point etc). :Teleport_Self COST : 30 MODS : N Moves the caster and upto 100 lbs of gear etc to any locale that the caster chooses that has been visited and memorized by the caster. Additional Ranks add 100 lbs to the capacity. :Tie COST : 1 MODS : R This spell will magically cause the object targeted (which must be of a thread/string/rope/cable like nature) to tightly knot itself to either its other end or the end of a similar object within 1' of it. This spell can be cast in a single round due to its nature. :Transmute_Rock_To_Sand COST : 15 MODS : R This transmutes stone of any kind into sand instantly, affecting an area of 5' square per RANK of the spell. :Transparency COST : 12 MODS : D,R By means of this spell the mage may make a section of metal, stone, or wood as transparent as glass to be viewed thru. The spell does NOT work on Lead, platinum or gold. The glass is of a form of a one-way mirror, upto 3' square in size. It does not change the intrinsic strength of the material. It lasts until the duration ends.... :Umbrella_Of_Carnack COST : 15 MODS : D This spell creates a magical umbrella that will hang 3' above the head of the caster at all times. The Umbrella will have no physical form to touch, but is visible to normal sight. It can pass thru objects easily and offers no protection from arrows or other thrown missiles. BUT the umbrella will prevent any RAIN based spell from affecting the caster, and also any falling object more than 5 lbs in weight will bounce off it. Thus things like a falling Wall of Ice would fail to harm the possesor of the Umbrella, or even an opponent jumping from a height above to attack. :Umbrella_Of_Quil COST : 3 MODS : D,R,T This spell produces identical affects as the umbrella of Carnack in appearance and form, but is actually an illusionary umbrella, with no substance or protective value, save in fooling mages who mistake it for the Umbrella of Carnack! :Unravel COST : 1 MODS : R Unravel is cast upon a piece of clothing that has been woven, sewn or knitted. It causes the clothing to begin to unravel until it falls apart into its component parts. The process takes three rounds, but it takes but a single round to CAST the spell to compensate. Magical clothing gets a save (50% chance of not being affected). :Unseen_Servant COST : 10 MODS : D The unseen servant is a non-visible, mindless, and shapeless force, used to step and fetch, open unstuck doors, as well as to clean and mend. It is not strong, but unfailingly obeys the command of the wizard. It can carry out only one activity at a time and can move only light-wight items--carry a maximum of 20 pounds or push or pull 40 pounds across a smooth surface. It can open only normal doors, drawers, lids, etc. The unseen servant cannot fight, nor can it be killed, as it is a force rather than a creature. It can be magically dispelled, or eliminated after receiving 6 points of damage from area-effect spells, breath weapons, or similar attacks. Additional Ranks add 10 lbs to its carrying ability, and 1 HTK to its survival ability. :Ventriloquism COST : 10 MODS : D,R This spell enables the wizard to make his voice--or someone else's voice--or a similar sound seem to issue from someplace else, such as from another creature, a statue, from behind a door, down a passage, etc. The spellcaster can speak in any language that he knows, or make any sound he can normally make. With respect to such voices and sounds, anyone rolling a successful saving throw vs. INTUITION with a -5 penalty detects the ruse. If cast in conjunction with other illusions, the GM may rule greater penalties or disallow an independent saving throw against this spell in consideration of its contribution to the total effect of the combined illusion. :Waterwalking COST : 10 MODS : D,R,T This spell allows the caster or target beings to be able to walk upon the surface of liquids (except acid) as if walking on a solid surface. The does NOT work on fog, mist or clouds. :Wizard_Glue COST : 5 MODS : D,R Wizard Glue will hold one relatively flat surface to another, a mirror to a wall for example. The strength of the bond is 20 pounds per RANK of the spell, upto 120 pounds. Dispel Magic will end the spell, and a Hardiness of 10 or greater can break a 20-pound bond. A Hardiness of 12 can break a 40-pound bond, a Hardiness of 14 can break a 60-pound bond, and so forth. If the item held by the glue is brittle, it may be shattered in the separation. Surface area is a maximum of 5' square per RANK of the spell. The two surfaces MUST be touching when the spell goes off. :Woeful_Itch COST : 10 MODS : D,R A cloud of glittering motes flutter to the target, who falls into a frenzy of scratching and tearing at their own flesh to stop the maddening itch. Target will do 1d10 damage to themselves in the process and drop all held items. Target will be incapacitated until the spell ends. If the Target is submerged in water the itching will stop and the spell will prematurely end. :Wood_To_Rubber COST : 5 MODS : D This spell causes all wooden objects that touch or strike the caster to be transformed into rubber, reducing their damage capacity to 1/4 normal if a weapon, and the effect on the weapon lasts for the duration. It can also be cast by touch on another individual to equally protect them. The item returns to normal once the spell's duration has ended. Maximum object size is 5 lbs/RANK.
