Section 10: Mage Spells: 

      These are the spells available to your mages. A character starts with the first three levels of spells automatically. The higher level spells must be found or bought.
      PCs can cast spells on other PCs regardless of the distance between them. Hostile spells, on the other hand, can only affect monsters sufficiently nearby. When a spell’s name is followed by R and a number in parenthesis, the number is the maximum distance between the target and the caster for the spell to work.

Level 1:

Light:  Creates a weak light.

Spark:  (R 6) Fires a weak bolt of electricity at an enemy.

Minor Haste:  Makes the selected PC move faster for a while. All haste spells take 

effect at the beginning of the next round.

Strength: Makes the selected PC more skilled for a short time. Works like the priest 

spell ‘Bless.’

Scare:  (R 6)  Decreases the morale of the victim. Casting this on a weak foe will 

make the foe flee. Even if the monster doesn't flee, later castings have a higher 

chance of success.

Flame Cloud:  (R 7)  This spell fills the selected space with a short-lasting wall of 

fire.

Identify:  This draining spell identifies one unknown item in the possession of the PC 

you select.

Scry Monster:  (R 14)  This spell is cast during combat. When cast, you receive 

information about the monster you target: current health, spell points, etc.

Goo: (R 8) This spell covers the target with sticky goo, slowing it down and 

interfering with its attacks.

True Sight: This spell lets you see everything in a short radius around you, even 

spaces blocked off by walls. It's useful for finding secret passages, for example.

Level 2:

Minor Poison:  (R 6) Poisons the target creature. This does a fair amount of damage, 

but it takes time to happen.

Flame:  (R 8)  Fires a decent-sized bolt of flame at the target. The damage done 

increases with the level of the caster.

Slow:  (R 7)  Makes the victim get half its usual number of actions for a while.

Dumbfound:  (R 10)   Makes the victim incompetent: easier to hit, easier to damage,

and less able to attack you.

Envenom:  This spell puts poison on the weapon of the selected PC, with no chance of 

failure or accidental poisoning.

Stinking Cloud:  (R 8)  When cast, a 3x3 area you select becomes filled with choking 

gasses. Anyone entering will have far less effective attacks for a short time. The 

gas will slowly fade on its own.

Summon Beast: This spell summons one low-level non-magical monster to fight on 

your side. It disappears after a short time.

Conflagration:  (R 8) This spell makes the air in a radius 2 circle burst into flames, 

charring anyone inside the cloud. After creation, the cloud will rapidly fade.

Dispel Field:  (R 10) This spell erases a magical field in a target space. It does not 

work on certain powerful sorts of field.

Invisibility:  When cast, the target becomes very faint and hard to see, becoming 

much more difficult to hit for a time. Attacking someone makes the invisible PC 

visible.

Level 3:

Unlock:  Some doors are magically locked, and others are just hard to open. This 

spell will crack them. However, it isn’t guaranteed to succeed, and won’t work on

all doors.

Haste:  Makes the selected PC get twice the usual number of actions for a long time.

Fireball:  (R 12)  Fires a powerful ball of flame, which affects the target space and

every space adjacent. The damage done increases with the level of the caster.

Long Light:  Like the first level light spell, but much more effective.

Fear:  (R 10)  Like scare, but much more powerful.

Wall of Force:  (R 12)  This powerful spell creates a line of force walls, which are

 like fire walls but more damaging and lasting. Hitting space while targeting this 

spell makes the wall rotate.

Weak Summoning: (R 4)  When cast, a group of monsters appears and attacks all 

enemies of the caster. The number of monsters depends on the level of the caster. 

After a time, they disappear.
 
Flame Arrows:  (R 10)  This spell is like flame, but the caster gets to select several 

targets. The number of missiles increases with the level of the caster. If you don't 

want to use all the missiles, hit space to cast the spell.

Web:  (R 8) This spell covers a large circle with icky webs, slowing down everyone 

inside. The webs last until torn down.
 
Resist Magic: You can cast this spell on another PC to make him/her resistant to 

magical damage and effects. Note this does not help against damage from fire and 

cold.

Level 4:

Poison:  (R 8)  This makes poison run thick in the veins of the target. Repeated 

castings will have a devastating effect.

Ice Bolt:  (R 12)  Slams the target with a heavy, pointed bolt of ice. Effective against

monsters who are resistant to fire. Damage increases as level of caster increases.

Slow Group:  (R 12)  Makes all monsters within a 12 space radius move at half 

speed for a time.

Magic Map:  This powerful spell gives you a vision of the entire level. Your map will 

show you the entire area. However, to cast this spell requires a sapphire.

Capture Soul:  (R 10) You need a Soul Crystal to cast this. When you cast it on a 

monster, you attempt to store a copy of it in your Soul Crystal, so you can later 

recreate it with the simulacrum spell. The stronger the monster, the lower the 

chance of success.

Simulacrum:  This spell summons a monster you select from your Soul Crystal. The 

cost depends on the level of the monster being summoned.

Venom Arrows:  (R 8) This spell is similar to Flame Arrows, except that your

 targets become poisoned.

Wall of Ice: (R 8)  This spell is similar to Wall of Force, except that it creates an 

ice wall. Ice walls do as much damage as force walls, but last a lot longer.

Level 5:

Stealth:  This powerful spell makes monsters less likely to see you for a time which

depends on your level. Try casting it before walking through a room crowded

with monsters.

Major Haste:  Gives the entire party double the actions for a time depending on the

level of the caster.

Fire Storm:  (R 14)  This spell is like fireball, but does more damage, and affects 

all creatures within two spaces of the space you target. Be careful not to fry your

party!

Dispel Barrier:  In some towns, you will find magical barriers blocking you from 

certain areas. This spell will remove them. The chance of success starts low,

but improves with the caster’s level. Some barriers are harder to dispel than

others, some cannot be dispelled, and it is rumored some barriers can be 

walked through.

Fire Barrier: This spell creates a single fire barrier at the target space. Fire 

barriers are damaging and permanent.

Summoning: This spell is like Minor Summoning, but summons more powerful 

monsters.

Shockstorm: (R 10) This spell creates a large sphere of force walls.

Spray Fields: (R 12) This spell creates a large number of small fields of a random 

sort, each of which may be individually targeted. The number of fields increases 

with the level of the caster.

Level 6:

Major Poison:  (R 8)  This spell makes the targeted monster very poisoned.

This spell does a lot of damage, but it takes time to take effect.

Group Fear:  (R 12)  When cast, the caster begins to radiate a horrible aura of fear. 

All monsters within 12 spaces lose a lot of morale. This spell gains effectiveness

rapidly with the level of the caster.

Kill:  (R 6)  The deadly Kill spell deals a devastating blow to one target you select.

Ravage Enemy:  (R 8)  Another effective spell. When cast, all monsters within 8 

spaces of the caster are slowed and cursed.

Daemon: This dangerous spell summons a beast from the netherworld to fight at your 

side.

Antimagic Cloud:  This spell created a spherical field, from which no spells may be 

cast and in which no spells may be targeted. After creation, it slowly fades.

Mindduel:  When cast on a magic using enemy, the two creatures get in a mental 

battle, absorbing spell points from each other. The loser may end up dumbfounded 

or killed. Requires a Smoky Crystal to cast.

Flight:  When cast outdoors, the party can fly for a short time.

Level 7:

Shockwave:  A dangerous spell. It sends a wave of force out from the caster, damaging

everyone nearby--monsters and PCs. The farther someone is from the caster, 

the more damage is taken, out to a radius of 10. Don’t cast this spell in towns.

Major Blessing:  When cast, the entire party is blessed and hasted, and has their 

weapons mildly poisoned.

Recharge:  A spell of many and varied uses. When cast, you select a wand, staff, or 

rod in your possession, and it gains a charge. Unfortunately, there is a chance of 

melting the item, which increases with the number of charges already there.

Protection:  One of the most powerful spells in the mage’s repertoire. It makes the 

whole party temporarily magic resistant, and makes one PC you select immune to 

ALL damage for a short time.

Major Summoning: This spell works like Summoning, but brings forth much more 

powerful creatures.

Force Barrier: This spell creates an impenetrable, permanent barrier. Be careful 

not to trap yourself.

Quickfire: Devastating beyond words, this spell creates a space of quickfire, which 

will sweep over the area killing everyone and everything.

Death Arrows: (R 6) This spell is like the previous Arrow spells, but strikes each 

target with a kill spell. The number of arrows increases with the level of the 

caster.
