:Green_Knights

     The Green Knights are a non-religious nature-oriented Tradition that
grew from the 'Green Movement' in Europe and the Americas, devoted to
the preservation of the natural species and Habitats. Although their
skills and spells reflect this, it also reflects their ability to act
as Eco-guerilla's against the enroachment of mankind into nature.

     To be a Green Knight one MUST take the disadvantage of Fanatiscism
as part of the character design. Green Knights MAY be found working with
other traditions with similar goals (like the various Nature Shamans),
but are frowned on by other Traditions because they tend to be sloppy and
expose themselves at times to publicity that can lead to anti-mage
reactions from the mundanes.

     Vegetarianism is suggested, and they may also take other related
factors (Chronic Recycler, special disadvantage for them, 3 pts),
possibly Longwinded (making lots of speeches about their devotions) etc.

     Remember they will NOT use their spells against an animal or to
do harm to an natural environment! Setting forest fires etc is NOT
acceptable behaviore to them.

     Required  Skills:

               Alertness
               Animal Handling
               Concealment

     Suggested Skills:

               First Aide
               Herbology
               Vehicle Skill (any)

     Casting Rules & Restrictions:

        Cannot be a Technomage, Mechamage, Shaman (Any), BloodMage,
               Draconian, Druid, Wiccan or Voodon.
        -10% to cast in Urban Environments
        -10% if Not using their magic for their groups cause of
               Green Awareness/Restoration/Protection!
        -10% if trying to use their magic purely for personal profit
        -1%  for each Mundane with a 90' radius

:Affect_Normal_Fires

    COST   : 1
    MODS   : D,R

   This spell enables the Knight 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.

: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
charge, birds will aim at them, etc. Note that animals with a close
association to the victim won't do anything to hurt the victim, they'll
just treat him or her like you would treat a friend who, for some
reason, smelled horrible.

:Animal_Healing

   COST   : 3
   MODS   : N

   This spell will heal any animal (including Mammels, Reptiles,
Avians and all Were-creatures) 1 point of damage per RANK the spell
is known at, including broken bones. It can be cast as many times as
needed on the subject.

:Animal_Tracks

   COST   : 1
   MODS   : D,R,T

This spell causes the caster to leave tracks & scents as as the animal
specified during casting.  The tracks have traces of magic for 3 hours
per RANK after which they are indistinguishable from normal tracks.

:Armour

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : D,R,T

This gives the target temporary invisible and intangible magical
armour against all normal attacks that absorbs 5 points of damage
per rank upto a maximum of 4 RANKS can be bought, for the duration.
Unlike normal armour, the armour spell cannot be reduced with wear,
has no encumbrance affects upon Prowness and it can be worn with
other forms of Non-Metal armour (Wearing metal armour will negate
the armour spell).

It can be cast on any living being or creature.

:Audible_Glamour

    COST  : 1
    MODS  : D,R

   When the audible glamour spell is cast, the Knight 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.

:Awaken

    COST   : 1
    MODS   : R,T

     This spell will wake a character (or characters) to full
alertness instantaneously.  It can be set to trigger on a specific
action such as a word or action.  The primary component is a horn
(which can be reused).  Each being that may be awakened must be named
in the spell when cast.

:Bigby's_Interposing_Hand

   COST   : 5
   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.

:BladeSharp

   COST   : 5
   MODS   : D

This makes a bladed weapon +1 to Damage for the duration. It cannot be
combined with any other damage enhancing spell.  Each Additional Rank
adds +1.

:Breeze_Call

     COST   : 3
     MODS   : D,R

Causes a swirling breeze to arise from around the person of the
caster which will blow in a set direction. It drives away gases
and minuses 5% from chances to hit by missile weapons while active.
Range is how far out from the cast that the breeze's effects will occur.

:Calm_Animals

      COST   : 3
      MODS   : D,R

   This causes animals in a radius out to the range of the spell, to be
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.
   Multiple TARGETS are not used as an option on this spell since it
is an area affect.

:Camouflage

       COST   : 5
       MODS   : D,R,T

   The caster (or target being) while this is under effect, becomes
invisible in natural surroundings such as a forest, Field, Snow covered
mountains, Ice plain or Desert. They can move without leaving a physical
trackable trail, but CAN be heard on occasion and become visible if they
make an attack against someone. While Camouflaged in this way they are
+75% prowness defensively and will have surprise when making an attack
(but cannot return to invisibility after an attack until all opponents
are out of sight range). (Infravision or tracking scent reduce the
modifier down to a +25% while camouflaged).

:Cat_Spirit

      COST   : 5
      MODS   : D,R

The cat form spell grants many of the abilities traditionally
associated with cats, though it does not significantly alter the
features of the recipient. The spell grants a +10% bonus to prowness,
and all skills that use that as a base, the recipient's tread will be
absolutely quiet for the duration. The spell also halves all damage
taken from falls and allows the recipient to land on his or her feet.
Finally, it grants the ability to grow claws, allowing each hand to do
1d10+3 damage.

:Cloud_Of_Slumber

   COST   : 12
   MODS   : D,R

This spell creates a cloud of yellowish gas in 10 cubic area/rank. Any
Living creatures within the Cloud must save each round while in it or
collapse asleep for 60 rounds.

:Concealed_Pit

    COST   : 15
    MODS   : R

Creates a 5' radius pit 15' deep in dirt, sand or stone at the
location within the range. Duration is NOT used with this spell,
the pit does NOT vanish. Successive ranks of this spell makes
the pit another 15' in depth for each rank. If a pit is created UNDER a
sentient then the being gets a PROW save to avoid falling into the pit.

The pit will be concealed, to match the general area around it,
until something falls into it.

:Concrete_To_Mud

   COST   : 10
   MODS   : R

This transforms 10 sq feet of concreate surface to mud per RANK. It
can only be applied to horizontal surfaces, so it can be used to destroy
a road or sidewalk, but NOT a building.

:Crushing_Hands_Of_Rhea

   COST   : 10
   MODS   : D,R

This spell creates a HUGE disembodied hand that attempts to crush the
target. It cannot be used on any living thing. The hand does 1d10+5
damage each round it is successful.

Each additional RANK of the spell adds 1d10 to the damage occuring.

:Cure_Nausea

   COST   : 3
   MODS   : R

This spell will remove all the effects of Nausea, wether its natural,
caused by a stomache flu, virius or spell. It does NOT remove any
diseases. But it makes the subject functional and ends also retching
and vomiting that may accompany Nausea.

:Dancing_Lights

     COST   : 2
     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.

:Detect_Life

    COST   : 1
    MODS   : R

By use of this spell the caster can determine if a creature is alive,
including creatures in a coma, trance, little death etc. It fails
against Mind Shielded targets (they will detect as dead) and will
also expose Undead for what they are.

:Detect_Lie

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : D,T

   This allows the caster to perceive any SPOKEN lies said in their
presence if they understand the language being spoken. Range is not
necessary as an element in this spell. Target is only needed if casting
the spell on someone else. It does not detect omissions, only falsehoods.

: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   : 3
   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.

:Dispel_Magic

   COST   : 5
   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

:Dust_Devil

    COST   : 15
    MODS   : D,R

   This spell summons up a dust devil, a minor air elemental creature,
to assist the caster in some way. The Dust devil will be fully obedient
under the effects of the spell, and will return to its native elemental
plane upon its completion. The dust devil can follow simple orders and
acts accordingly. It stats:

   HTK  25     Combat 60%   Flight Speed = 3 times speed of running man
   ABS   5                  Attack Damage  1d10+4

The dust devil appears to be a small whirlwind, one foot in diameter at
its base, five feet tall, and three to four feet across at the top. The
winds are sufficient to put out torches, candles, campfires and exposed
lanterns. The dust devil can hold a gas cloud or a creature in gaseous
form at bay or push it away (though it cannot damage or disperse such a
cloud). If skimming along the ground in an area of loose dust, sand,
pebbles or ash, it can pick up these particles and disperse them in a
10' diameter cloud centered in itself. The cloud obscures normal vision
and creatures caught in it will be blinded for one round after they
emerge, and its causes a need for spellcasters to save to maintain
concentration of active effects. Any creature from the elemental plane
of air can disperse the dust devil immediately. Dust devils can be hurt
by normal weapons but fired missiles will fail to strike as they will be
blown off course.

: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   : 5
        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.

:Elemental_Burst_Of_Metals

         COST : 10
         MODS : R

This causes any wooden device to suddenly explode into shrapnel, doing
2d10 + Rank in damage to all within 30' of the object. It will only work
on objects of 5 lbs in weight per RANK in the spell. Armour is applied
against this non-magical damage.

:Empathic_Revenge

    COST   : 15
    MODS   : D

When the target this spell is cast upon is attacked in any way the
attacker receives back half damage (only HTK damage applies) as that
the target had received from them AFTER armour etc, as internal damage.

:Evil_Eye_(Curse)

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : D

This is a minor curse spell, inflictable only on one Target who MUST
be able to make eye contact with the caster, within the range it is
cast at.

   The evil eye affects an individuals luck, that is, it affects their
die rolls. It causes ALL misses in combat and all spell casting
failures to be considered KLUTZes with the detrimental affects of that
result. It cannot be dispelled by a normal dispell magic.

   Usage of this spell in many countries is considered Evil, or bad for
business, and may be a punishable offense.

:Feather_Fall

    COST   : 5
    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_Animals

    COST   : 1
    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_Plant

    COST   : 1
    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   : 1
    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).

:Flash

    COST   : 2
    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.

: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.

: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.

:Gravity_Mat

    COST   : 20
    MODS   : D

   This spell is cast as an area affect of 10 cubic feet per RANK upon
a surface (if the surface is LESS than that in size then it limits to
the bottom surface's area).

   It increases the affect of gravity in that area drastically so that
it takes a 30 HARDINESS to be able to move - anyone entering the field
of less HARDINESS will be pinned to the floor and unable to move until
the duration ends. Anything flying over the surface will be pulled down
as if under an ANVIL_FALL* spell and then pinned if not strong enough.

   Anything of 30-40 HARDINESS can move across the surface upright, but
at 1/2 their normal speed and at a -20% to perform actions within the
field (like fighting). Anyone of greater than 40 HARDINESS is unaffected
by the field at all.

   The caster CAN be affected by their own spell with this, so caution
is advised on locating the mat.

:Grease

    COST   : 1
    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 (usual maximum of 10 ranks applies)

:Grounding

    COST   : 7
    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.

:Guilda's_Sneakabout_Light

    COST  : 5
    MODS  : D

Creates a dim, floating light of variable intensity that follows the
caster.  At its brightest, it is enough to read with good eyesight, and
it can be extinguished and restored at will during the duration.  No
light produced by the spell escapes the 5' radius, preventing the caster
from being given away by his light--so this spell is ideal for
thieves.  Note that background light penetrates the area of effect
freely, so the caster is in no way concealed by this spell.

:Heat_Object

   COST   : 3
   MODS   : D,R

This will cause a targeted object to become red hot, making water boil
or metal become too hot to handle. If cast on armour it will cause the
wearer 1d10 damage from the metal parts heating (except to leather).
If duration is bought the water would boil away on the second round,
flammable goods will burst into flames and metal will go to white hot
and cause more damage. After three Rounds Metal melts, crystal shatters
(as does glass) etc. Heat Object beyond the 4th round will cease to
function since the target object will no longer exist.

:Herb_Enhancement

    COST   : 25
    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   : 1
    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.

:Inaudibility

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : D,R

     By means of this spell, all sounds made by the recipient become
inaudible -- breathing, talking, walking, and the like.  Items on the
caster's person are likewise silenced, but thrown or dropped items may
make noise once released. Unlike a silence spell, inaudibility masks
only the sounds made by the recipient or items in his/her possession,
so it provides no defense against sound-based attacks such as harpy
singing, a horn of blasting, etc.  The spell remains in effect until
it is magically dispelled, until the caster or the recipient cancels it,
or until its duration has passed; it is not dispelled by the recipient
attacking another creature.

:Insect_Plague

      COST   : 20
      MODE   : D,R,T

This spell is cast and causes a horde of creeping, hopping and flying
insects to gather around and swarm upon the target in a thick cloud. The
insects obscure vision limiting it to 10'. Spellcasting inside of the
cloud is at a -50% due to the distractions and complications. Creatures
within the cloud receive 1d10 damage each round inside the cloud due to
numerous bites and stings, with NO armour assistance (normal OR magical)
and the insects count as +1 vs magical creatures that can only be hit by
magic weapons. Invisiblility is nullified by this effect as well.

   Heavy smoke or fire can drive away the insects prematurely and the
victim gets a saving throw vs PROW each round after the 1st to have
wandered out of the Plague of insects.

:Invisibility_to_Machines

    COST   : 20
    MODS   : D,R,T

   Caster, subject being or subject object becomes invisible to
electronic or mechanical means of detection.  While under the effects of
this spell, they cannot be photographed or recorded.  They will not set
off alarms which would react directly to their presence.  (They may
still set off alarms which react to doors being opened or other actions
which involve objects not covered by the spell.)

   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.  Once turned off the spell MUST be recast in full.

:Justin's_Mental_Map

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : D

Outdoors only, this spell gives the caster an aerial view of the
countryside within 1 mile of the caster.  Only large features visible
from above are noted, like rivers, woods, fields, large buildings, and
clearings. Additional RANKS increase the area by a mile each.

:Knock

    COST   : 1
    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.

:Lavender_Spheres

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : D,R

This creates (For each RANK) a single purplish-pink globe of energy
inside a thin layer of hypersensitive matter that is about the size
of a basketball and drifts like a balloon in the direction set by the
caster at start (but may drift off course by breezes etc). They appear
harmless, bit when struck by ANY object they explode, doing 1d10
explosive magical damage in a 10' radius (Anyone within that range
may make a roll vs Prowness and if successful only take 1/2 damage).

:Leap

    COST   : 2
    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  : 1
     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.

:Lose_Mundane_Object

    COST   : 7
    MODS   : R

   This causes a visible or recently visible object of a mundane nature
to disappear, randomly transporting it someplace far from the current
locale. A Lost item is normally unrecoverable. If the item is in contact
with a sentient being then that being gets a save vs spell to retain
it, else it is lost. 1 lb of object can be Lost per Rank.

: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.

:Message_Scroll

      COST   : 12
      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_Speech

    COST   : 1
    MODS   : D,R,T

Allows the caster to communicate mentally with one or more beings. Must
be able to see the being when the spell is first cast, but does not
have to maintain visual contact. The mindspeech is just like normal
conversation, except that NONE of those involved can 'think' a lie
thru the link at the others, so honesty is the rule - any attempt to
lie directly will cause the link to severe. Once enacted, Mindspeech
is NOT affected by the distance - RANGE is only used for the initial
casting of the spell, thus the spell can be bought relatively cheaply
if all involved are in touching range at start, only duration and
possibly targets are needed.

:Minor_Involuntary_Actions

   COST   : 1
   MODS   : D,R

   This spell, if cast without extended duration can be cast in a single
round - if duration is added then it takes the full standard three
rounds to cast since it complicates the casting process.

   The spell allows the caster to affect the body controls of a single
sentient being (save vs INT only against the EXTENDED Version, no save
vs the one round version). Which means it can create simple physical
reactions from the following list:

    Belch, Blink (eyes), Cough, Giggle, Nod, Scratch, Sneeze, Twitch
(Minor muscle contraction), Wink and Yawn.

    If the victim is a mage who is involved in a spell casting they must
make a save to maintain concentration on the spell they are working on
(Iron_Mind* prevents the need for such a save) or they will lose the
effect and have to start again. If the spell is cast on the victim with
duration then it gives them a -10% to cast for the duration of the
spell.

    If cast on a non-mage involved in combat, specifically TWITCH,
Sneeze and Blink or Wink will throw off their combat pattern slightly
reducing their next attack (if on that round or the next) by 5%. If cast
on a non-mage with duration it will reduce their effect by 5% for the
duration on all combat skills.

:Monkey_Wrench

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : R

Cast at any large mechanical device, equipment or vehicle, it causes an
old fashioned monkey wrench to materialize within the device's interior
and do appropriate damage to such. It is rumored that these wrenchs are
made from products recycled at the secret Green Knight Recycling plant
in South America from scrap metals sent there with the Recycle Spell.

This spell is often used in shutting down factories and power plants that
pollute the air, water etc.

:Mystic_Marbles

    COST   : 1
    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.

: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....

:Non-Combustion_Field

     COST   : 5
     MODS   : D

This creates a 10' cubed area field where NO form of combustion works,
including normal fire, magical fire, Heat increases to combustion temp.
(which will NOT surpass 90 degrees F) etc. This is often bought LONG
TERM DURATION in order that a library may be thus protected by random
occurrences. Increased RANK increases the field size accordingly.

:Nude_Mood

   COST   : 10
   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.

:Passwall

    COST   : 10
    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.

:PhotoCopy

    COST   : 7
    MODS   : R

     This spell allows the caster to create a permanent image, on a
piece of parchment, canvas, or the like, of whatever s/he sees and
concentrates upon at the time of casting, to the range bought.
Detail in the final picture depends on distance and field of vision.

     Material components are a piece of parchment, paper or canvas --
which is not expended and upon which the image appears. If a tool
is used for casting a quill pen with silver tip is the most likely
device to use.

:Pit

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : R

Creates a 5' radius pit 15' deep in dirt, sand or stone at the
location within the range. Duration is NOT used with this spell,
the pit does NOT vanish. Successive ranks of this spell makes
the pit another 15' in depth for each rank. If a pit is created UNDER a
sentient then the being gets a PROW save to avoid falling into the pit.

:Plant_Animation

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : D,R

Allows the animation of any plant (including trees) and command of them
to act as the caster wishes. It does NOT allow plants to uproot their
bodies (except on tumbleweeds) but allows them to be used to grasp,
attack, etc. Lasts for the Duration.

:Plant_Growth

    COST   : 3
    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.

:Protection_From_Elements

       COST   : 25
       MODS   : D,R,T

This spell is one of the best defensive ones, and is also one that
is difficult to find a teacher for. It protects the target being
from ALL elemental based attacks - that is any magical attack that
uses FIRE, WATER, ICE, COLD, HEAT, STONE, WOOD, STEAM, ELECTRICITY,
LAVA, WIND, AIR or changes one into such (including flesh to stone).
It will also protect from normal fire damage, weather effects and
natural elementals. It does not stop mundane attacks of wood or metals.

:Protection_From_Friendly_Missiles

    COST   : 1
    MODS   : D,T

This prevents the recipient from being accidentally struck by any
missile or stray weapon not intended originally for them. This is very
useful if you have 'clumbsy' companions.

:Protection_From_Hunger_and_Thirst

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : D,R,T

   When protection from hunger and thirst is cast, the recipient
requires no food, water, or nourishment of any kind for the duration of
the spell.  The recipient can be the caster or anyone he touches.  Each
day the caster (or the subject of the caster's choice) is under the
effect of the spell, he is fully nourished as if he had eaten and drunk
normally.  At the end of the spell's duration, the subject is no more
hungry or thirsty than he was when the spell was originally cast.
   A person with this spell on them will NOT gain magical energy as they
would normally for consuming food and will NOT be able to eat more than
1 pound additional food/water for that purpose (and will gain 1/2 pound
of weight if eating is done for this purpose since the nourishment is an
excess!)

:Quicksand

    COST   : 15
    MODS   : D,R

This creates a 5' radius pool of quicksand at the targeted point if cast
on earth, sand or natural stone (But cannot be cast on wood or other
man-designed surfaces). This lasts only for the duration, at which time
it returns to its natural state. If a being was caught in the quicksand
and has not yet sunk below the surface then when the spell expires they
will be trapped in the material (But NOT killed in the process).

:Rainbow_Bridge

    COST   : 10
    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.

:Recycle

    COST   : 3
    MODS   : R

This rather unusual spell is cast on any small, broken up pieces of
plastic, glass, metal (especially Aluminum), or paper, affecting upto
1 LB of such per RANK in a casting. It will vanish and reappears at
the secret Green Knight recycling center in South America to be turned
into useful goods again to be resold for their cause.

:Silence_Sphere

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : D,R

This spell is normally cast on a being or object and causes a sphere
of complete silence to surround the target for a 15' radius per RANK
the spell is known at. ALL sound in the area is stopped, and the
sphere moves with the target. It can be canceled by the caster, by
a Dispell_Magic* or a Dispell_Silence* spell. Unwilling beings do get
their resistance modifier. If a mage is caught inside such a sphere
they become -10% from their normal chance to cast spells due to the
interference of this spell.

:Speak_With_Animals

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : D

Allows the caster or targeted being to speak with creatures of animal
intelligence. This is NOT Charm Animals, it simply allows the asking of
basic information, though while in effect the animals will not attack
the being speaking with them unless attacked.

:Spike_Stones

        COST   : 20
        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.

:Stinking_Cloud

    COST   : 10
    MODS   : D,R

When a stinking cloud is cast the Knight 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

:Taunt

    COST   : 3
    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.

:Transfer_Energy

      COST   : 1
      MODS   : D,R,T

This allows Knights 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.

:Transmute_Rock_To_Sand

    COST   : 15
    MODS   : R

This transmutes stone of any kind into sand instantly, affecting an
area of 10' square per RANK of the spell.

:Transparency

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : D,R

By means of this spell the Knight 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....

:Treacherous_Tripwire

    COST   : 5
    MODS   : N

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.

The trap remains until sprung and escaped from....

:Tree_Shield

    COST : 5
    MODS : R

This is cast on any living tree and gives the tree protection from
cutting tools and construction equipment from bulldozers, strengthening
the bark and roots of the tree against attacks. For each RANK of the
spell it will reduce the damage done by attacks by 10 points.

Unlike other spells Duration is not necessary as long as the tree lives
it will be able to replenish the spell itself thru its own energies (the
spell ends when the tree dies).

:Wall_Of_Thorns

     COST   : 12
     MODS   : R

Castable only outdoors on open dirt or natural stone, or indoors on
a surface of Wood (floor) this spell causes huge thorny plants to
rise up in a circle 10' radius per RANK and 5' tall (+1 foot per rank)
Maximum (casters choice) around the selected target point on the
surface.

This surrounds the area. Anything trying to pass through must do
25 points of damage with spell, fire, or cutting/chopping weapons
to a section of it to break thru. Anything trying to climb over
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.
