  Electricity Spells 
  GURPS Grimoire separates Electricity spells into their own sub-college and gives GM's the option of making 
  Electricity, into its own College this section continues that idea.  
  Changes to spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Resist Lightening - This spell also protects items vs. lightening strikes, surges, and short circuits. 
  Electric Weapon - For double cost any weapon can be made conductive. 
  Electric Missile - For 1 point extra, missiles can be enchanted so that they are not consumed by this spell.  
  New Spells 
  Arc 
   Regular 
  Caster creates a jet of extremely high-powered electricity from his finger which creates an arc when it gets 
  close to metal objects. Th is phenomenon can be used to set fires, weld, or do other things. Will "short out" 
  ending the spell if the arc gets near a living creature. Flammable items can be set on fire immediately and 
  the mage can arc weld (at IQ-5 if he doesn't have the Welding professional skill) with his bare hands if he 
  has a suitable welding rod available.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Lightening 
  Magic Item: Metal rod which allows the user to cast this spell and also acts as a (permanent) 
  welding rod. 400 points.  
  Aurora Borealis 
   Regular 
  In order to cast this spell the mage must be outdoors at night in extremely cold conditions. When the spell is 
  cast, the caster makes the sky light up with the flickering, shifting lights of the aurora borealis, even if they 
  wouldn't naturally occur at that latitude. Aurora Borealis give light approximately equal to bright moonlight for 
  the duration of the spell. High tech mages might find that they interfere with sensitive radio equipment, but 
  other than that they have no other effect other than to look pretty. 
  This is also a Weather sub -college spell. 
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Shape Air, Lightening 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 500 points.  
  Ball Lightening  
   Missile 
  This spell creates a "ball" of lightening which erupts when it hits its target, affecting the target and anyone in 
  the adjacent hexes. In other respects it is like the Fireball spell. It's principle virtues are that it can be used 
  underwater and that it affects an area. 
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Time to Cast: 1 second per 2 points of energy 
  Base Cost: 2 points per 1d of damage, maximum of 3d.  
  Prerequisite : Lightening Bolt, Shape Air  
  
   5 
  Call Lightening  
   Missile 
  The caster can direct the path of a strike of natural lightening. In order to use this spell, the caster must be 
  outdoors and the sky must be overcast. If the sky is clear the spell automatically fails. If the caster is indoors, 
  the lightening strikes the roof of the building he's in. 
  Damage done by the lightening varies greatly.  
  A well-insulated target will take 1d-1 points of damage.  
  A well-grounded, highly conductive target (like a steel pole) would take 10d points of damage. Most 
  reasonably conductive targets (including things like trees, unprotected buildings, or people) take 5d points of 
  damage. The target can save vs. HT to take half damage, but he can't avoid the lightening. A lightening 
  strike will set flammable materials on fire. 
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 5 (double cost if there isn't thunderstorm activity in the area of the spell) 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Lightening 
  Magic Item: Staff or Wand. 1,000 points.  
  Chain Lightening 
  Missile 
  Like the Lightening spell, but the damage done by the spell can be spread out among two or more people. 
  The caster determines the amount of energy put into the spell and then fires the spell at the first target. If the 
  spell hits the first target, the mage announces how many dice of damage (energy points) the lightening will 
  do to the first target. Then, the mage rolls to hit the second target. If the second target is hit, the mage 
  announces how many dice of damage he wishes to do to the second target, and so on until the energy is 
  completely expended. 
  Targets must be within 5 hexes of each other.  
  If there is no living target, the mage can strike a non- living target so that he can "jump" to another living 
  target, except that the mage must roll to hit the inanimate target and he must do at least 1 die of damage to 
  it. 
  If there are no legitimate targets within 5 hexes or if the lightening hits a target which is well-grounded (either 
  by the spell or by natural means - including the ground), the rest of the damage is lost and the spell is over. 
  Targets hit by chain lightening once can't be hit again in the same turn (unless more than one caster is 
  casting Chain Lightening). 
  If the mage is the only legitimate target within 5 hexes  and he has already struck a legitimate target, he must 
  roll vs. spell skill or be hit by his own missile! Fortunately, the mage can limit the amount the damage to 1d 
  by canceling the spell, however, the rest of the potential damage is lost. 
  Metal armor has PD 1, DR 0 vs. chain lightening and the mage is at +1 to hit targets wearing or carrying 
  large amounts of metal. Targets made completely of metal (iron golems or steel rods for example) are at +2 
  to hit, but will ground out the spell. 
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 2 per die of damage, (maximum of 10 points) 
  Time to Cast: 1 second per die of damage. 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Lightening 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 1,500 points. Usable only by a mage. 
  Change Power 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  Caster can change the amperage and voltage of a normal electrical current to make it more or less powerful. 
  Maximum change is plus or minus 50% of initial amperage and/or current. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 for every 5 lbs. of material (minimum 2), half to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Change Resistance.  
  Magic Item: Wand or Jewelry. Usable by wearer only. 250 points. Change Resistance 
   Regular, 
  resisted by HT 
  Caster can change the resistance of an object to make it highly conductive to electricity or highly resistant to 
  electricity. Conductive objects will let electricity flow through them with ease (like a copper wire), resistant 
  
   6 
  objects will block the flow of electricity and might become very hot if a large amount of electricity flows 
  through them. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 for every 5 lbs. of material (minimum 2), half to maintain. 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Dampening. 
  Magic Item: Wand or Jewelry. Usable by wearer only. 250 points.  
  Charged Missile 
   Missile 
  Charged Missile gives a powerful electrical charge to a small metallic object weighing no more than an 
  ounce, such as a lead sling bullet, arrowhead, or ball bearing. This missile can then be thrown or quickly 
  fired from a weapon (after the spell is cast, the magic will last for 20 seconds). The missile does 1d-1 points 
  of electrical damage per energy point put into the spell, up to 3d-3. The missile has the normal 
  characteristics for a missile of its type, and might do normal kinetic damage in addition to the electrical 
  damage. Metal armor has PD 1, DR 0 when defending against electrical energy, and metal shields used to 
  block charged missiles will still transmit the electrical damage to the defender.  
  Metal shields have PD 1, DR 1 vs. electrical attacks. 
  Some mages who have this skill at a high level can use this spell as an assassination or anti-theft weapon 
  by quietly charging a coin and then tossing it to the unsuspecting victim. If the victim touches the coin before 
  it hits the ground it will discharge. The missile is undamaged by the electrical discharge. 
  Duration: 10 seconds (damage is instantaneous).  
  Base Cost: 1 per 1d-1 damage. 
  Time to Cast: 1 second per point of energy. 
  Prerequisite : Electric Weapon 
  Magic Item: (a) Jewelry or missile weapon which will cast this spell on any missile fired from it. 800 
  points. (b) Jewelry or small metallic item which will generate this charge when thrown. 100 points.  
  Cloud Lightening 
   Regular; resisted by HT 
  This spell creates an area of electrical energy which looks like a small thunderhead which crackles with 
  electrical energy which he can move around. If the cloud contacts a living creature, that character takes 1d- 
  2 points of electrical damage per turn. However, the cloud has a Move of 3 and the caster must roll to hit 
  using his DX score to control the cloud. 
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 5, 3 to maintain (every 2 points added to cost allows the base size of the cloud to be 
  increased by 1 hex, if the cloud is increased in size, cost to maintain the spell increases by 1 per 
  hex.) 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Lightening Bolt 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 1,000 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Conducting Non-Conductor 
   Regular 
  This spell changes a non-conducting object into a conducting object, thus allowing wood, glass, etc.  
  to carry a significant charge. Cybermages use this in conjunction with other Electrical magic to surprise their 
  foes by making doors, floors, etc. into electrical traps. 
  Duration: 2 minutes 
  Base Cost: 6 to cast, 3 to maintain 
  Prerequisite s: Magery 2 and Lightning 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 500 points. Usable only by a mage. 
  Divine Chain Lightening (VH) Special 
  Divine Chain Lighting is like Chain Lighting, save that one may choose one's targets, even if this involves 
  going around closer targets. Thus, the mage could spread his lethal web through a confused melee of 
  fighting warriors, attacking only those on the enemy side. Each time the mage forks, she must roll against 
  
   7 
  Vision minus the number of forkings in order to avoid attacking the wrong person. The G.M. may choose to 
  increase the penalty for particularly bad viewing conditions. Note that this roll is necessary even if the mage 
  can see everyone perfectly - for it's just not that easy to keep track of a lot of people, especially when you 
  are zapping many of them at the time. 
  Base Cost: As per Chain Lighting +1 fatigue.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds. 
  Prerequisite s: Chain Lightning, Accuracy, Telecast. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 00 points. 
  Dynamo\TL 
   Regular, resist ed by HT 
  The caster's body or some other object becomes a powerful reservoir of electrical energy, suitable for 
  powering electric-powered devices. Some way must be found to attach the power source to the device to be 
  powered. This power is "grounded" so that it instantly stops if it touches a living creature that isn't a dynamo.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 1 for enough energy to power an A Cell or some other small device, like a transistor 
  radio. 2 for enough energy to power a B Cell, or a small appliance like a light or curling iron. 3 for 
  enough energy to power a C Cell, or a largish appliance like a small TV or a microwave. 4 for 
  enough energy to power a D Cell, or to power a large appliance like an air condition er. 12 to 
  generate 440 volt, 22 kW industrial current. 24 to generate 1000 volt, 100 kW industrial current. 
  Same cost to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Static, Lightening Bolt 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Usable only by the bearer. 100 x base cost of the spell points.  
  Usable only by a mage.  
  Electric Message\TL 
   Regular 
  Allows the caster to tap into any sort of communications network that is within 3 hexes and speak (or 
  appear) on it, as through he had access to the appropriate sort of technology to use it normally. For 
  example, just by getting within 3 hexes of a TV, the mage could make himself appear on any TV channel 
  that TV could receive. A mage within 3 hexes of a phone line could send phone messages as if he were 
  talking on the phone. Range is limited to a 20 mile radius for most radio and TV transmissions. If the 
  communications media is broadcast, the mage will talk through or be seen on all communications devices 
  set to a given channel. For devices like phones or computer networks, the caster can specify who he's going 
  to speak to. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Haywire 
  Magic Item: Telephone receiver (or similar item) or Jewelry. Usable only by bearer. 200 points.  
  Electrocution (VH) 
  Regular; Resisted by HT 
  When the mage touches the subject of this spell, the victim’s body is wrapped in a sheet of powerful 
  electrical energy which will eventually kill him by a series of electrical jolts. 
  Every turn the spell is in effect, the victim takes 1d points of electrical damage and must roll vs.  
  HT or go into Cardiac Arrest (0 HP). Armor does not protect. The spell ceases after 1 minute or until the 
  victim dies (fails a HT roll to stay alive), whichever is less. 
  Base Cost: 10 
  Duration: 1 minute or until victim dies. 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Lightening Bolt 
  Magic Item: Wand, Staff or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 1,500 
  Forked Lightening (VH) Special 
  
   8 
  Forked Lightning operates just like the Stream Lightning spell, except that each round after a successful hit, 
  the mage may fork the lightning so as to attack an extra target. However, he can only fork a given arc of the 
  lightning to the object of man-size or larger nearest to its present target. This might be the caster himself, so 
  be careful! 
  In order to fork, the mage must make a successful roll against his skill with the spell minus the number of 
  times he has forked his Forked Lightning already, with distance modifiers based on how far he is from the 
  furthest target. For example, if the mage has forked his lightning three times, so that he is assaulting four 
  targets, he rolls at (-3 plus whatever distance modifier is appropriate). If the fork is successful, hitting is 
  automatic. Should the caster miss a skill roll with Forked Lighting (including a failed roll to fork) the caster 
  himself will take damage from the backlash equal to the damage a single target would have suffered if the 
  spell had hit. 
  Base Cost: 2, same to maintain. For double the cost, damage is 2d -2. The mage can alternate 
  between the higher and lower cost from turn to turn. 
  Duration: Instantaneous. 
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds. 
  Prerequisites: Stream Lightning, and 5 other Electricity spells. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 750 points. 
  Great Chain Lightening (VH) Special. 
  Chain Lightning functions as Stream Lightning save for the following differences. Each round after the initial 
  hit, the mage may fork the lightning so as to double the number of affected targets. However, he can only 
  fork a given arc of the lighting to the object of man-size or larger nearest to it's present target. This might be 
  the caster himself, so be careful! 
  In order to fork, the mage must make a successful roll against his skill with the spell minus the number of 
  times he has forked his lightning already, with distance modifiers based on how far he is from the furthest 
  new target. For example, if the mage has forked his lighting three times, so as to be assaulting eight targets, 
  he rolls at (-3 plus whatever distance modifier is appropriate). If the fork is successful, a hit is automatic. 
  Should the caster miss with Chain Lighting, which includes failing to fork, the caster himself will take damage 
  from the backlash equal to the damage a single target would have suffered if the spell had hit. 
  Base Cost: 1 per round for 1 target, 2 for 2 targets, 3 for 4 targets, 4 for 8 targets, 5 for 16 targets, 6 
  for 32 targets, 7 for 64 targets, 8 for 128 targets and so forth. For each doubling of fatigue, damage 
  is 2d-2. The mage can alternate between the higher and the lower cost from turn to turn.  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds 
  Prerequisite s: Magery 3, Storm, Maintain Spell, and 8 other Lightning Spells. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 1,500 points. 
  Haywire 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  The caster can cause strong, random fluctuations in an existing electrical current, possibly shorting-out or 
  destroying electrical devices or electronic equipment which isn't internally protected against power 
  fluctuations of this sort. Most "normal" appliances and electronics have a HT of 10 vs. this spell. Simper 
  and/or more durable appliances and electronics have HT 12+ 
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Static 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Magnet.  
  300 points.  
  Lightening Proof 
   Area 
  Protects an area from being hit by natural lightening strikes. The lightening can strike the area around the 
  protected area, but will not naturally strike the protected area. Electricity-based attack spells are immune to 
  the effects of this spell. 
  Duration: 1 day 
  
   9 
  Base Cost: 1/10 per hex, half to maintain (1 minimum). This spell can be made permanent for 25 
  times the base cost. 
  Prerequisite : Lightening 
  Magic Item: Weather Vane, Lightening Rod, or Good Luck Symbol which permanently protects the 
  area around it. 100 per hex of radius.  
  Lightning Bolt 
   Missile 
  Functions like the Lightning spell but with a few differences. The spell has a greater maximum damage. 
  Also, the two hexes on the opposite side of the target hex takes 1d less damage than the target hex, the two 
  behind that take 2d less etc. 
  Base Cost: 2 to 10, 2 points per 1d-1 damage (up to 5d-5 points of damage).  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Lightning 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 1,000 points. Usable only by a mage. 
  Lightning Rod 
   Blocking 
  The subject is immune to electricity long enough to withstand a single lightning attack, or one 
  second of electricity of any strength. For long-term protection, use Resist Lightning.  
  Base Cost: 2 
  Prerequisite : Resist Lightning 
  Non-Conducting Conductor 
   Regular 
  This spell, the opposite of Conducting Non- Conductor, changes a conducting object to a non- conducting 
  object. This spell is usually cast on computers to make their silicon chips slow down considerably for the 
  duration of the spell (the computer's processing speed goes down to about 6 instructions per second, rather 
  than million or billion of instructions per second.) It can also be cast on a person to make their skin non-
  conducting. 
  Duration: 2 Minutes

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 500 points. Usable only by a mage. 
  Recharge\TL (VH) 
   Regular 
  This spell allows the caster to steal power from a power source to recharge a battery cell. 
  Duration: Permanent

  reduce this. 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds per point of fatigue given to the cell. 
  Prerequisite s: Lend Power and Conduct Power 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, wand or jewelry. Usable only be a mage. The mage and the items must both 
  touch the source and the cell. Energy cost to create: 1000. (b) Any power cell can be made so that it

  it can, as fast as it can. Energy cost to create: 20 for an A cell, 100 for a B cell, 500 for a C cell, 
  1000 for a D cell, and 2000 for an E cell. 
  Saint Elmo's Fire 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  The subject is outlined with a phosphorescent glow caused by an intense charge of (harmless) static 
  electricity. This causes him to stand out clearly in dim light and creates a spooky effect. Any penalties to see 
  or target the subject in darkness or dim light are eliminated. In some cases the St. Elmo's Fire spell might be 
  a good way to cause a Fright Check. 
  Duration: 1 minute

  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Shape Air 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 250 points. (b) Jewelry or clothing. Affects wearer only. 
  Some are Always on and Can’t be removed. 250 points.  
  Seek Electricity 
  Information, resisted by HT 
  Allows caster to find any sources of electricity or any electrical devices within 10 hexes and to know their 
  type. Good for finding electronic bugs. 
  Base Cost: 3 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Hand- held "monitor". 200 points.  
  Selective Electronic Message\TL 
   Regular 
  As the Electronic Message spell above, but the mage can select which communications devices he will 
  speak through (or appear on) as long as he knows the approximate location of a given communication 
  device.  
  (So a mage could just appear on the television sets of his friends, rather than the TV sets of everyone within 
  20 miles.) 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Electric Message 
  Magic Item: Telephone receiver (or similar item) or Jewelry. Usabl e only by bearer. 500 points.  
  Sparks 
   Regular 
  The caster can cause the subject to shoot bright but harmless sparks in all directions. Also, spark globes, 
  Jacob’s ladders, and other "weird science" electrical effects can be generated. Provides intense (but wildly 
  flickering) light while it lasts. Might ignite highly flammable gas. Scary if unexpected. Another neat party trick. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain (double cost if more than one hex of area is to be affected or if the 
  subject is heavily grounded and/or non-conductive.) 
  Prerequisite : Static 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 100 points.  
  Static 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  The caster can generate a strong charge of static electricity on the subject. This causes the subject to 
  painfully shock himself if he touches a grounded object, his clothes cling, and his hair stands on end.  
  Great fun at parties, might ignite explosive gasses or damage extremely sensitive electronic equipm ent in 
  the right circumstances. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Shape Air 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 100 points.  
  Stream Lightening Special 
  Once this spell is cast, a stream of electricity emerges from one of the mage's hands which he can sustain 
  for as long as he wishes. However, while the spell lasts, the mage can do nothing with that hand, including 
  casting spells, without redirecting the energy flow in ways that are likely to be dangerous to himself. 
  The mage must specify a target. His chance to strike it equals his skill with the spell, minus range modifiers. 
  The spell never gets snap shot penalties, but time cannot be taken to aim. Stream Lightning may be dodged 
  
   11 
  but not blocked or parried. The PD of metal armor or shields does not add to the Dodge score. The spell will 
  do 1d-1 damage to one target each round.  
  Each subsequent round, if the mage chooses to maintain the spell, he may continue to damage the subject 
  without making any fresh roll to hit, unless the subject takes cover or the mage’s concentration or line of 
  sight is disrupted. 
  The danger of this spell is that if the mage misses, he will take damage from the backlash equal to 
  the damage the target would have suffered if the spell had hit. 
  Base Cost: 2, same to maintain. For double the cost, damage is 2d -2. The mage can alternate 
  between the higher and lower cost from turn to turn. 
  Duration: 1 second 
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds. 
  Prerequisite s: Magery 2, Lightning 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points. 
  Thunderbolt 
  Enchantment 
  This spell is cast on a missile weapon just before it is thrown or hurled. If the weapon hits it does normal 
  damage but also does electrical damage, creates a flash of light and creates a loud crackle of thunder.  
  Weapons like axes or hammers aren't consumed by this spell. Small weapons like darts, arrows, or javelins 
  are. 
  The thundering and the flash of light is just a special effect even though they are extremely intense. In some 
  situations the GM might rule that it causes nearby creatures to roll vs. HT or be temporarily deafened or 
  blinded that unsuspecting creatures must make Fright Checks, but these effects aren't guaranteed to occur.  
  Duration: 5 seconds or until weapon strikes. 
  Base Cost: 1, plus 1 point per die of electrical damage (up to 3), 1 point to maintain. For 1 point 
  extra small missiles aren’t consumed. 
  Time to Cast: 1 second per die of damage. 
  Prerequisite: Lightening. 
  Magic Item: Weapon. 50 per die of damage if it is a "one shot" item which vanishes when it strikes.  
  500 if it is a reusable item.  
  Travel by Wire 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  Temporarily turns the subject's body into electricity which can then flow at nearly the speed of light through 
  wires or similar a similar communications medium (like fiber optics) and then turn back into their normal form 
  on the other end of the line. The only catch is that the caster can only come out where there is a break in the 
  wire or a communications device in use.  
  This means that the subject could come out at a wall socket that is not in use or a telephone that is in use, 
  but not at an appliance that is not plugged into a wall or through a communications device that isn't in use. 
  If the subject is unwilling and fails its HT, the caster determines the location to which it goes. The caster or 
  the subject must be within 3 hexes of an open circuit or an active communications network (a telephone). 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 10 for each hex that the creature occupies or portion thereof. 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Body of Electricity, Haywire 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Usable only by wearer. 500 points.

  Animal Spells 
  An "animal" is any non-magical (or mostly non-magical) creature with an IQ 7- and the Bestial or Pre- 
  Sentient disadvantages which is capable of naturally reproducing itself. By this definition dolphins, gorillas, 
  and griffins are all animals. Unicorns, animated skeletons, and golems are not. If there is any doubt over 
  whether or not a creature is an animal, the G.M. decides. Characters with Animal Empathy will be able to 
  determine if a creature is sentient or not if they can make an IQ roll when meeting an unfamiliar creature.  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Master - Drop requirement that the mage maintain eye contact as long as he maintains concentration. 
  Darkness doesn't break the mage's control as long as he has a decent idea of where the animal is by means 
  of some other sense. If the mage has no way of knowing where the animal is, then control is lost.  
  Beast Seeker - Allow the mage to make one try per day to detect common sorts of animals or for a specific 
  animal which regularly appears in the area.  
  Beast Possession - For 50% more, the mage's body remains semi-conscious, though effectively mindless 
  (functional IQ 2). It will stay still but will present the illusion of full consciousness during that time. It will eat 
  and drink if food is provided for it, move itself to a safe place if threatened by an environmental hazard (such 
  as sunburn, fire, drowning, etc.), flee to safety if attacked, and do anything else that a trained animal of IQ 2 
  could do. Note that the mage cannot attack. In other respects this spell is like the Permanent Beast 
  Possession spell.  
  Insect Control - This is just a variation on a more generic "Animal Control" spell. GMs who wish to give their 
  players a break can rule that Insect Control, Fish Control, Mollusk Control, Reptile Co ntrol, Bird Control, and 
  Mammal Control are all just variants of the Beast Control spell which default to one another. To balance 
  things out the GM may make the generic Beast Control spell M/VH and he can also rule that animals roll vs. 
  HT rather than Will to avoid being controlled. See below for my version of this idea.  
  Fish  Control - See Insect Control. If the GM rules that this is still a separate spell, the GM should allow this 
  spell to work against all forms of aquatic life including things like sea turtles (reptiles), frogs (amphibians), 
  and whales (mammals).  
  Mollusk Control - See Insect Control. This is a useless spell. Incorporate the ability to control mollusks into 
  the Fish Control spell and drop this spell.  
  Reptile Control - See Insect Control. This isn't a terribly useful spell. It should be combined with one or 
  more of the other animal control spells. "Control Lesser Life Forms" which combines Reptile and Insect 
  Control seems logical for GMs who don't want a single animal control spell.  
  Bird Control - See Insect Control. This isn't a terribly useful spell. It should be combined with the Mammal 
  Control spell if the GM doesn't combine all the Control spells into one.  
  Mammal  Control - See Insect Control.  
  Rider - The mage can use the animal in any way that is appropriate for a domestic beast of that (or similar) 
  type. For example, hawks can be used for hunting, camels can be used as beasts of burden, etc. Note that 
  this spell does not give the mage the ability to ride a given sort of animal!  
  Rider Within - The mage must make an IQ (or Naturalist or Zoology skill) roll in order to use and interpret 
  non-human senses, such as sonar or Infravision.  
  Shapeshifting - For 1 extra point (plus 1 extra point to maintain) the mage is not subject to IQ loss for the 
  Duration of the spell. The GM should feel free to create whatever variants of this spell he desires and let his 
  players come up with any variation which seems reasonable and which they are willing to pay for. Cats, 
  Wolves, Eagles, Horses, Bears, and Fish are all common variants. For 1 point per 10 pounds of equipment, 
  packs, etc. are not dropped onto the ground when the subject turns, but are absorbed into the subject's 
  body.  
  Shapeshift Others - For 1 extra point (plus 1 extra point to maintain) the subject is not subject to IQ loss for 
  the Duration of the spell. If the subject is shapeshifted into a form which will quickly kill them (like 
  shapeshifting someone into the shape of a fish in the middle of a desert) then the GM should give them a 
  second roll vs. HT to allow them to break the spell. Malicious mages have variants of this spell which will 
  turn their victims into pigs, dogs, frogs, lizards, insects, small birds, or goldfish. For 1 point per 10 pounds of 
  
   13 
  equipment, packs, etc. are not dropped onto the ground when the subject turns, but are absorbed into the 
  subject's body.  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire  
  (Animal) Control: Most of the new variants listed are utterly worthless, they should be variants of a more 
  powerful spell. See Insect Control above.  
  Beast Rouser - This spell can also be used to spook animals. Every point of energy put into the spell gives -
  2 to the creature's Fright Check. How the beast reacts depends on the nature of the beast and the situation. 
  Cornered animals which are frightened might attack!  
  Repel (Animal) - The various Repel (Animal) spells should be combined into a more powerful and generic 
  "Repel Creature" spell. Normal animals are automatically repelled, but animals under the control of someone 
  else roll vs. the Will of the person controlling them, rather than the animal's HT. Created or Illusionary 
  creatures are immune to this spell. Magical or intelligent animals are not checked by this spell, but they will 
  know that the ward is there. Finally, if the mage desires he can tailor the spell so that certain types of 
  animals, or certain individual animals are not blocked by this spell. For example, the mage could specify that 
  wolves are repelled, but dogs are not, or that only the mage's cats are repelled while other cats are not.  
  Partial Shapeshifting - The variant of this spell should be Mental/Hard skills, not Mental/Very Hard.  
  Permanent Beast Possession - For 50% more, the mage's body remains semi-conscious, as above.  
  Spider Silk - If the mage is lowering himself or an object using a strand of spider silk, there is no limit on the 
  length of the strand of silk he can produce. The mage can fire as many strands of silk as he has hands, non-
  human mages with more than two hands can fire extra strands at the normal cost. Multiple strands fired at 
  the same location can be "braided" on the next turn so that they form a larger rope which has the combined 
  ST and load bearing capacity of all the strands. The mage has the option of making the strands stretchy (so 
  that they will stretch up to 20% of their original length if stressed beyond their working load) or non-stretchy. 
  He also has the option of making the strands sticky or non -sticky. There are variations to this spell: Multiple 
  Strands - The mage can fire multiple strands from his hands. Extra strands beyond the first have double the 
  Base Cost. Each multiple strand is at -4 to hit, per extra strand. Extra Length - The mage can shoot longer 
  threads at a cost of 2 points per every 5 hexes beyond 30 hexes. Strong Strands - The mage can make his 
  strands thicker and stronger. Each extra point gives +1 ST to the "tip strength" of the missile, 5 ST to the 
  strand strength, and allows the strand to hold an addition 250 pounds.

  allow the caster to attach or give a written message or other small object to the animal. The animal will then 
  go at a brisk pace to the location named by the caster and either wait with the message until the spell ends 
  or leave the message, as determined by the caster.

  Beast Control (VH) 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  For GMs who don't like the various "control" spells, this spell allows characters a bit more flexibility.  
  If this spell is used, the GM should not allow any of the various "Control" spells in the game.  
  This spell allows the mage to control the actions of any one large animal or up to about 100 lb. of smaller 
  creatures. Concentration is required.  
  Each Order of animals is a different variation of this spell and the different variants default to each other at -
  4. The mage should assume that one variant is his "base" skill level and the other spells default from that. 
  The variants can be improved up to the base level by the normal means, or the base level can be improved 
  which improves all the other skills, just like regular defaults between similar skills. 
  The specializations available within the Animal Control Spell are:

  blooded creature with fur.

  attacks (such as Reeks) in a world where such creatures exist. Hybrid Control could be used to control 
  magical hybrids (such as griffins which combine the features of mammals and birds) which have animal 
  intelligence.

  Beast Image 
   Information, resisted by IQ 
  If the mage has a bit of fur, bone or dung or if he can touch a track left by the creature, this spell will allow 
  him to get a brief mental vision of the animal from which the sample or track came. If the spoor was actually 
  produced by a mage or someone trying to lay a false trail, they get a resistance roll vs. IQ (or the mage must 
  win a contest of spell skills if he is trying to overcome another spell). 
  Whether or not the mage can identify the animal if he sees it again is up to the GM. 
  This is also a Knowledge spell.

  irrevocably returned to a wild state, and can no longer be trained or tamed. The animal will try to escape to 
  the wilderness at the first opportunity. The animal can resist with IQ, but few will want to. Note that this does 
  not give the skill to live in the wild, so some animals (i.e.  
  sheep) may not fare so well on their own.

  For an additional cost, the spider will use a strong poison (Type F Venom) otherwise it uses type A Venom. 
  The spider can a jump up to 3 times its own length and attack when it lands on the target. Treat this attack 
  as a flying tackle (see p. B113). In other respects this spell is like the Create Animal spell. 
  Venom Type A: Roll against HT-4 immediately. Failure causes 1d+1 damage. Critical failure causes death. 
  Roll vs. HT-4 again at the beginning of the each day for the next 3 days. Modifiers to the HT roll: +1 if the 
  venom is sucked out within 5 minutes. If all rolls are successful, the venom has no effect. 
  Venom Type F: Roll against HT-6 immediately. Failure causes 2d damage. Critical failure causes death. 
  Anyone taking damage is nauseated and dizzy; -3 to all attribute checks and skill rolls for 1d hours. If the 
  HT-6 roll is made, no damage is taken, but the victim still feels sick for 3d minutes; -3 to all attribute checks 
  and skill rolls as above.

  Create Meat 
   Regular 
  This spell will create a quantity of raw meat from an animal specified by the mage when the spell is cast. 
  Though the mage may specify the cut and quality of the meat, this spell does not create cooked meat, for 
  that the mage needs the Create Food spell. 
  This spell is also a Food spell. 
  Base Cost: 1 per pound of meat. Double cost if rare or fine-quality meat is to be created. Halve 
  costs if low- quality meat (suitable for animal feed only) is to be created (minimum cost: 1 point).

  Creature Horde  
   Regular 
  Creates a 1 hex horde of stinging or biting creepy -crawlies: rats, insects, spiders, snakes or whatever which 
  are under the control of the caster. The horde attacks and defends normally and will cause damage and 
  distraction to unprotected foes. The caster has his choice of any sort of creepy-crawly in the area.  
  The statistics for a given type of horde can be found in the Bestiary or the Basic Set. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain. Each doubling of cost adds one more hex of creatures. 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Control Animal, Control Insect, Summon Animal 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry which allows the user to cast the spell. Cost to Create: 500 
  points., 250 points if it will just summon one sort of creature.  
  Cure Were-Sickness 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  
   19 
  When cast on a person who has been infected by the bite of a were-creature, this spell will cure its disease, 
  eliminating any shapeshifting abilities within 24 hours. The subject must be present for the Duration of the 
  spell, and the mage must touch the subject at the end of the spell. This is also a Healing spell. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 20 points 
  Time to Cast: 1 hour 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Prevent Shapeshifting, 5 Healing Spells 
  Magic Item: Staff or Wand. Cost to Create: 5,000 points. Usable only by a mage. Such items are 
  extremely rare and are hated by most weres.  
  Darting Fish  
   Area 
  Summons up a school of small fish who will surround the caster darting every which way. This has the effect 
  of obscuring the caster and confusing opponents. The caster is at -2 to be targeted by missile weapons and 
  gets +1 PD as long as the fish surround him. His attacks are not affected by the fish. 
  This is the aquatic version of the Insect Swarm spell. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 per hex, 1 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Beast Soother, Beast Summoning 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Works for wearer only. Cost to Create: 300 points.  
  Death Scarab 
   Regular 
  The caster creates a small, magical beetle which burrows into the victim's body gradually eating its way to 
  the victim's heart. The scarab crawls from the caster's hand to the victim's body (the caster must touch the 
  victim to do this, but the caster gets multiple tries).  
  Then once the scarab is on the victim, it finds an unprotected spot and starts to burrow. 
  The scarab will immediately begin burrowing towards the warmest part of the victim's body which is usually 
  the victim's vitals. Any armor blocks them completely, but after one turn it will move to a location where it can 
  bypass the armor. (Only completely sealed armor will protect). 
  Each minute that the scarab feeds, it does 1 point of damage to the victim's body and will move one hit 
  location closer to the victim's vitals (that is, a scarab which enters by the foot will attack the foot first, then 
  the leg, then the abdomen, then the chest, then the vitals). Attacks to the vitals have damage tripled, just like 
  normal. 
  When the scarab is on the skin it may be picked off (roll vs. DX to avoid having them attack the hand!) or 
  burned off. A scarab which is still in a limb may be cauterized or excised. In both cases a roll vs.  
  First Aid-4 or Surgery is required to kill the scarab, and the victim takes full damage from the flame and/or 
  knife. Once the scarab has entered the victim's abdomen or chest cavity only surgery can save the victim 
  and all Surgery rolls is at -4 (due to the necessarily hasty nature of the surgery and the difficulty of finding 
  the scarab).  
  Scarabs have PD 3, DR 2, and 1 HP. 
  Super-medicine can stop or remove the scarab before it can kill the subject but it is far simpler to use 
  Psionic Healing or the Cure Disease spell to destroy the parasite. Low Tech medicine is helpless to cope 
  with the scarab once it's gotten into the chest cavity. 
  This is also a Necromantic spell. 
  Duration: Permanent, until victim is dead. 
  Base Cost: 8, can't be maintained 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Shapeshift  
  Magic Item: A jewel or semi-precious stone carved into the shape of a scarab which is activated by 
  body heat or a command word. When the victim is dead, the scarab turns back into a jewel. Cost to 
  Create: 800 points.  
  False Prey 
   Regular 
  
   20 
  This spell creates the prey animal of the caster's choice. It will behave like a normal animal of its type, 
  except that it will never stray from the area set by the mage when the spell is cast and it will wink out of 
  existence when it is "killed". In other respects it is like a normal animal of its type. It can "fight" if the mage 
  wishes it to do so, but any damage it inflicts is illusionary and vanishes when the spell ends. If the mage is 
  "killed" or "knocked out" by the animal, the spell automatically ends.  
  The mage can use this spell to create any sort of animal he can imagine, as long as it exists in his world. 
  However, the animal can only be seen by the mage and by those who he wishes to also see it.  
  Likewise, it can only affect those people who can see it.  
  Anyone who doesn't wish to participate in the "hunt" can automatically disbelieve the animal's existence. The 
  only exception to this are hunting animals (such as hawks and hounds) under the mage's control. 
  This spell is extremely popular among huntsmen, since it allows  them to hunt and "kill" rare and exotic prey, 
  or prey that is out of season. This spell can be used (and is preferred) by mages with Animal Empathy and 
  Beast Kin, since they aren't harming a real animal. Since the animal isn't "real" those advantages give no 
  bonuses to reaction rolls from the animal, though they still apply to Animal Skills skill rolls and to IQ rolls to 
  figure out what the animal will do next.This is also an Illusion and Creation spell. 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 for a tiny creature (like a mouse or bird), 2 for a small creature (like a rabbit, duck or 
  fox), 3 per hex of larger creature, half Base Cost to maintain (minimum 1). 
  Prerequisite : Complex Illusion, Summon Animal. 
  Magic Item: Hunting Horn. Cost to Create: 150 points.  
  False Trail 
   Area, Resisted by IQ 
  Mage removes all signs of the subject's trail and replaces it with the trail of some other creature he is familiar 
  with (The G.M. may require a roll against Naturalist, Tracking or Wilderness Survival if there is any doubt. If 
  the mage fails his skill roll, the trail still appears, but doesn't look realistic to anyone who can make a 
  successful Tracking roll. If the mage doesn't care about being realistic, he can let his imagination run wild. 
  Making a false human (or humanoid) trail do not require a Naturalism roll (unless, perhaps, the mage isn't 
  human). 
  If there is more than one trail in the area of effect, they may also be changed for the same cost as it cost to 
  change the first trail. Also, by paying the Base Cost again, the mage can add false trails to make it appear 
  that more than one creature passed along an existing trail. For example, the mage could spend 10 Fatigue 
  and generate the impression that 10 men passed where only one person actually went. Extra trails parallel 
  the "real" trail as closely as possible and conform to the terrain so that they look realistic. 
  The GM can also require the GM to pay double or even triple the Base Cost to alter the trail of a large or 
  especially destructive creature like a bulldozer or a fire elemental. 
  The trail the subject leaves must be reasonably possible to detect by sight and/or smell - no trails of fleas or 
  air elementals! Also, the trail created is a real alteration of the landscape, it is not illusory and cannot be 
  dispelled, nor can it be detected by magic, smell, or IR vision. 
  This is also a Plant spell. 
  Base Cost: 1, same to maintain. For double the Base Cost an additional trail can be falsified or a 
  false trail can be laid which parallels a real trail. 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds. 
  Duration: 30 minutes 
  Prerequisite s: Simple Illusion 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry.  Cost to Create: 350 points. (b) Footgear. Works for wearer 
  only. Cost to Create: 250 points.

  Force Shapeshifting  
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  
   21 
  When cast on a were-creature or similar shapeshifter, this spell forces them to undergo 
  metamorphosis into their other form or forces them to remain in their current form. For example, a 
  werewolf in wolf form would be either forced to metamorphosis back into his human form or 
  prevented from doing so for the Duration of the spell. 
  Duration: Permanent, until next change 
  Base Cost: 5, can't be maintained 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Shapeshift  
  Magic Item: (a) Staff or Wand. Cost to Create: 350 points. Usable only by a mage. (b) A piece of 
  clothing or jewelry which blocks transformation into a were's other form costs 200 points.  
  Foul Scent Regular, resisted by Will 
  When the mage casts this spell, the subject emits an unbelievably foul scent that is only detectable by 
  carnivorous animals. In most circumstances the odor makes predators avoid you. However, if they are 
  extremely hungry or angry, they can attack you if they make a Will roll. Magically controlled or created 
  animals ignore this spell as do animals with No Sense of Smell. In some cases a predator might accidently 
  attack you (for example, if you are attacked by a jaguar leaping on you from above). In this case the 
  predator must make a Will roll to continue with the attack, just as if you were protected by the Foul Taste 
  smell. 
  The scent extends to a radius of 5 hexes around the subject, giving some protection to people near the 
  subject. However, a predator does not need to make a Will roll to attack someone within the scent area who 
  does not have this spell cast on them. A negative side effect of this spell is that as long as it is place, a 
  predator can automatically detect the subject's location or trail by scent. 
  The mage can tailor the scent so that it is inoffensive to animals specified by the mage when the spell is 
  cast. This allows the subject to ward off predators while still retaining good relations with inoffensive 
  carnivores such as dogs and cats. 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite s: Foul Taste 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 250 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Some versions are Always On and Cannot be Removed. Cost to Create: 200 points.  
  Foul Taste 
   Regular 
  Causes the subject's body to taste horrible. Any creature biting the subject must make a Will roll to make a 
  second or subsequent bite attack, though it can make other kinds of attacks. Animals and other creatures 
  with the Discriminatory Smell advantage can determine the fact that the subject is bad to eat. They react to 
  the character at +4 or -4 (with reactions being modified towards "Doesn't Attack"). Other interactions with 
  animals aren't affected. 
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Beast Soother 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Clothing. Cost to Create: 200 points. (b) Clothing or 
  Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Cost to Create: 100 points.  
  Giant Insect 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell allows a mage to mak e a normal insect into a giant insect (about 100 to 200 lb.  
  depending on the basic size of the insect) or turn a giant insect into a normal sized insect. Giant insects are 
  under the command of the mage. This spell will also work on any other non-sentient beast which has a 
  normal weight of less than 1/4 lb. such as a small crab, spider, or mouse. 
  Statistics for giant insects are found in the GURPS Bestiary. For other animals, the GM should assume that 
  HT, DX, and IQ remain the same, but that ST is increased to at least 20 and Hit Points are increased to at 
  least 10. Giant arthropods will have at least PD 1, DR 1 from their exoskeletons. Move is extrapolated from 
  
   22 
  the creature's normal move. Slow creatures have a Move 2. Normal creatures have Move 5. Extremely fast 
  creatures have Move 7+. Flying creatures have double their ground Move or 10 whichever is more. Damage 
  can also be extrapolated from the creature's normal abilities though for convenience, the GM can just 
  assume that the creature has at least one effective close-combat attack which does 1d6 points of damage if 
  it hits. 
  Duration: 1 minute (giant insects reduced to normal size are reduced permanently). 
  Base Cost: 6, 3 to maintain (4 points to reduce giant insects to normal size). 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Enlarge Beast. 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry.  Cost to Create: 600 points. (b) Collar which makes a 
  creature giant-sized as long as it is worn. Cost to Create: 300 points.  
  Goose Chase 
   Area; Resisted by IQ 
  Goose chase is much like False Trail, except that it produces a false trail just in front of any trackers - so that 
  pursuers will be led astray while their quarry makes it's escape. When this spell is cast, anyone searching for 
  the subject of the spell must make a resistance roll or follow a false trail that is magically laid just in front of 
  the tracker. This trail is always that of the subject. The trail is always laid so that it appears to be realistic. 
  For example, it will not cross barriers which the subject could not cross. If it is not possible for the trail to 
  continue in a way that makes sense, it will simply stop dead or continue on in an unrealistic fashion - mage's 
  choice at time of casting. 
  Base Cost: 2, same to maintain. For double the Base Cost the mage can hide the path of another 
  subject. 
  Time to Cast: 6 seconds. 
  Duration: 30 minutes. 
  Prerequisite s: False Trail, Any 2 Mind Control Spells. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 450 points. 
  Harness 
   Regular, Resisted by Will 
  This spell allows riding or load bearing equipment to be properly put on or taken off even the most unwilling 
  beast. The equipment remains on the creature until removed by a second application of this spell or by non-
  magical means. 
  This is also a Making and Breaking spell. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Master 
  Magic Item: Equipment for one type of animal.  Cost to Create: 100 points.  
  Hold Animal 
  Regular, Resisted by HT 
  This spell stops an animal dead in its tracks for Duration of the spell. The animal can fight where it 
  stands or do other things, but it can't turn in the hex or move. The spell does not require the 
  concentration of the caster once it is cast. If the caster or anyone else attempts to harm the animal 
  while it is held, the creature immediately gets another roll vs. HT. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 per hex of creature, half to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Master 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points.  
  Horsemanship  
   Regular 
  This spell temporarily gives the subject a Riding skill of 12 (if he doesn't have that skill at a better level) and 
  increases the speed of any beast he is riding by 10%. 
  
   23 
  In spite of its name, this spell can be used to give the ability to ride any creature which could normally be 
  ridden. However, sentient creatures do not get the bonus to speed. 
  Base Cost: 2, same to maintain. For double the Base Cost, the speed of the mount can be 
  increased by 25%. 
  Duration: 1 hour.

  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Noise 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 150 points.  
  Human Form 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell shapeshifts an animal into a human being. However, though the animal's form is human, its 
  mentality and some of its physical attributes and advantages are those of its original form. 
  Very large or strong creatures retain their original Hit Points and HT score but their ST is adjusted to fit a 
  human scale. Small or weak creatures base their hit points on their base HT score rather than their Hit 
  Points while in human form and their ST is scaled up to better fit human norms. In all cases ST and HT are 
  based on human perceptions of that animal's strength an d endurance. This spell also allows an animal to 
  speak while in human form, but their conversation will be limited by their IQ. 
  For example, an elephant turned into a human would still keep its original HT and Hit Points, but its ST 
  would be "reduced" to 18-20, very strong by human standards, but weak for an elephant. A mouse turned 
  into a human would use its HT score for its Hit Points and would have its ST increased to ST 8-9, 
  fantastically strong for a mouse but "mousy" by human norms. 
  Animals also retain their intellect, their DX, their Mental Advantages and disadvantages, and some of their 
  Physical advantages as well. For example, a cat turned into a human would have a high DX and might very 
  well have the Perfect Balance, Combat Reflexes and Night Vision advantages. It definitely retain its original 
  IQ and mental disadvantages such as Laziness. 
  In addition to their mental and physical advantages, animals also retain some "animal" features while in 
  human form. For example, a bear turned into a human would have a stocky build, lots of body hair, and a 
  low, rumbling voice. 
  Base Cost: 5 for an animal up to 100 lbs., 7 for an animal up to 500 lbs., 10 for an animal of any 
  weight. Half to maintain.

  Hunter's Sense 
   Information, resisted by IQ 
  The subject of this spell knows when any animal (a creature with IQ 7-) comes within 30 hexes of him. If he 
  concentrates for a moment he will know its type, its motivations and emotions, and its rough distance and 
  direction from his location. The animal resists being detected with its IQ. If it moves out of the range of the 
  spell and back into range again, it gets another IQ roll to resist. 
  The subject can "screen out" information about animals that he is not interested in. For example, a hunter 
  who was after deer could screen out information about all other animals. 
  This is also a Knowledge spell.

  Insect Swarm 
   Regular 
  Creates a 1 hex swarm of normal, insects which are under the control of the caster. The exact type of

  Toughness or natural DR distraction and inconvenience.  
  They must make a Will roll each turn that they are in the swarm or perform any task that requires

  Instructions 
   Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This spell allows an animal to perfectly understand and remember instructions or orders given to it by the 
  mage, no matter how complex they are.  
  Whether or not the animal carries out the instructions depends on its temperament, its relationship to the 
  mage, and its training. This spell won't allow an animal to do something it ordinarily could not do, but if the 
  animal is physically capable of performing a task and is willing to do so, it will perform that task. Unwilling 
  animals get a roll vs. IQ to resist this spell. 
  The magic of this spell allows the animal to "fill in" ambiguities in the mage's command as well as a human 
  could. For example, if the mage were to tell an animal to "Get help." The animal will know exactly what sort 
  of help the mage needs.

  Invertebrate 
  Regular, resisted by HT

  normally used as an attack spell, it can also be used to squeeze into small places or escape from bonds. 
  Alternately, the mage can cast this spell on part of the subject's body such as one limb or the head. It is also 
  possible to make a small portion of the body such as a finger invertebrate, should the mage have cause to 
  do so. This is also a Body Control spell.

  Major Alteration (VH) Regular, resisted by HT

  Magical abilities can't be created, but anything else goes. For example, the subject could be given the 
  forelimbs and shoulders of a lion to give him a strong, effective claw attack or he could be given the tail of a 
  fish to allow him to swim through water. This is also a Body Control spell.

  Curse can reverse this spell.

  and IQ 10. It has PD 4; DR 0. It runs at speed 1 and flies at speed 6. It can become invisible and 
  insubstantial at will. Its only defense is a dodge, at 5. It's attack is a bite doing 1 point of damage (skill 20)

  Minor Alteration (VH) Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell is the "Polymorph" equivalent of the Partial Shapeshifting spell. It allows the caster to make some 
  small alteration to his body so that it has the attributes of some type of normal animal known to the caster. 
  For example, the caster could alter his ears to those of a stag to get the stag's Keen Hearing, or his eyes to 
  those of a cat to get the cat's Night Vision.  
  Details of exactly what alterations are allowed and what advantages they give are up to the GM. In no case 
  can natural weaponry, magical abilities, improved reflexes, increased musculature, or new internal organs 
  be generated by use of this spell. A character with an obvious alteration looks very peculiar indeed. Fright 
  Checks might be in order for anyone seeing the subject in an altered state. This is also a Body Control spell. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Beast Hide, 5 Animal Spells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Clothing.  Cost to Create: 1,000 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Mists of Change (VH) 
   Area, resisted by HT 
  This powerful and peculiar spell creates an area of opaque fog that turns anyone who ventures into it into a 
  random sort of animal appropriate to the terrain where the spell is cast. The mage has no control over the 
  forms the subjects of this spell will assume and subjects who remain in the spell area will shift to a new form 
  every minute unless they can make a HT roll to keep their current form. 
  To determine the form that a person assumes, the GM should either create a table of animals forms or else 
  he should roll 3d. In the latter case a very low roll means a powerful or useful animal shape (like a large 
  carnivore) and a very high roll indicates a weak or vulnerable animal shape (like a toad or a slug).  
  However, no matter what form the subject assumes, they keep their own HT, IQ, mental advantages and 
  skills. ST is that of the animal form. DX is that of the animal modified by that of the subject. 
  The fog generated is identical to that created with the Fog spell. 
  Base Cost: 6 (minimum of 2 hexes), same to maintain 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite s: Magery 2, Fog, Polymorph Other or 3 Shapeshifting spells. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 1,500 points.  
  Neuter 
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  Makes an animal (IQ 7-) infertile until the spell is removed. While affected by this spell, the animal behaves 
  as if it were surgically neutered or spayed. The mage must touch the subject. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 2 points per 100 lb. of animal. 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Alter Behavior 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry.  Cost to Create: 200 points. Usable only by a mage. (b) 
  Collar. Affects any animal which wears it with this spell. Cost to Create: 50 points.

  to a minimum of Hideous.  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain.

  Cat Feet: This spell allows gives the subject two levels of the Silence advantage for the Duration of the 
  spell.  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain

  • 
  Dolphin Sight: This spell gives the mage the Sonar advantage with a 10 hex range for the Duration of 
  the spell.  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  • 
  Dragon's Tail: Gives the mage a long, powerful tail which can be used to lash out at foes in his rear 
  hexes. Anyone in the mage's rear hexes can be targeted. The tail does Thrust/Crushing damage based

  maintain. 
  • 
  Dragon Scales: Subject is covered in thorny horns, bony plates and thick leathery scales. These 
  provide PD 2, DR 2. While this spell is in effect, the subject looks very peculiar. Reduce Appearance by 
  1 level to a minimum of Hideous.  Base Cost: 5, 4 to maintain. 
  • 
  Eagle's Talons: The subject grows claws which give +2 to damage from bare-handed attacks, but while 
  the spell is in effect, the subject suffers from the Poor Grip disadvantage.  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. 
  • 
  Fish Skin: The subject's body becomes scaly and streamlined and is coated in a thick layer of smelly 
  mucous. The slimy coating and scales prevent chafing, and gives -2 to all attempts to grapple the 
  subject. The streamlining and other effects give +2 to Swimming rolls. Appearance is reduce by 1 level 
  to a minimum of Hideous while the spell is in effect.  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. 
  • 
  Mole's Paws: This spell allows caster to dig through earth with his hands at twice the rate he could 
  move earth with an iron shovel. For the Duration of the spell the caster's hands have PD 1, DR 1 and 
  are greatly enlarged and non-human looking, like the paws of a mole. This gives the caster -4 to all fine 
  manipulative tasks while the spell is in effect.  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain 
  • 
  Monkey's Tail: The subject grows a fully prehensile tail. This is treated as a limb with half the subject's 
  ST with the Extra Flexibility advantage and the No Fine Manipulators disadvantage.  Base Cost: 3, 2 to 
  maintain. 
  • 
  Octopus's Tentacles: Turns the mage's arms into long tentacles which can be used to grapple and 
  constrict foes. The tentacles have a Reach of 2 hexes, and the Mage's ST +2 when used to grapple or 
  constrict. They are long enough to constrict man-sized targets. 
  •

  • 
  Porcupine's Quills: This spell will cause the subject's body to become covered with long, sharp quills 
  like those of a porcupine. Any creature roughly touching the subject will get stuck by one or more spines 
  and must roll vs. Will to continue holding the creature. If the creature gets stuck by a lot of spines (say, a 
  slam attack against the subject by an unarmored man) then the spines do 1 point of whole body damage 
  to the attacker. The spines are immediately visible and they make the subject look very peculiar 
  (Subtract one level of Appearance to a minimum of Hideous.) The spines also have PD 1, DR 1.  Base 
  Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain 
  
   29 
  • 
  Ram's Horns: Like the Stag's Antler's spell (q.v.) but the horns do Thrust/Crushing damage and 
  Knockback damage is tripled if the blow connects.  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain. 
  • 
  Rhino Hide: Gives subject a thick, tough skin like that of an rhinoceros. The skin has PD 1, DR 2 and 
  will obviously be non-human, while the spell is in effect, the subject's appearance is reduced by 1 level, 
  to a minimum of Hideous.  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain.  
  • 
  Spider's Eyes: The subject sprouts 6 additional eyes giving him the 360 Degree Vision advantage. 
  Some of the eyes appear on the side and back of the casters head, so the subject cannot wear anything 
  which covers the side or back of his head or neck if he wants to benefit from the additional eyes. If the 
  back (but not the side) of his head is covered, he still gets the effect of Peripheral Vision. This spell 
  makes the subject look very peculiar while it is in effect, since the extra eyes are large insectoid, 
  composite eyes. Appearance is reduced by two levels (to a minimum of Hideous) and Fright Checks 
  might be in order!  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  • 
  Stag's Antlers: The subject grows a large rack of deer's antlers from the top of his head, and his neck 
  and back muscles are strengthened so that he can make an effective head butt. The subject can make a 
  head butt at -2 to hit and if he succeeds, he does Thrust/Impaling damage based on his ST.  Base Cost: 
  4, 2 to maintain.  
  • 
  Wings: The caster grows large bird-like or bat- like wings, which he can use to glide or fly. The caster 
  can fly at Move 10 under his own control, but is not as maneuverable as a mage using the Flight spell, 
  due to his large wings. The wings have PD 1, DR 2 and are obviously non-human. Since the wings have 
  at least a 20 foot span, this spell isn't suitable for use indoors or underground. In other respects, this 
  version of the Partial Shapeshifting skill is like the Winged Arms variant, except that the mage retains his 
  arms as manipulative limbs.  Base Cost: 5 to cast, 3 to maintain 
  • 
  Wolf Fur: The subject grows a thick pelt of fur which has DR 1 and which will act as winter clothing. It 
  will be miserably hot in warm weather.  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 2 to maintain. 
  Peter Brockt Perfect Beast (VH) 
   Regular 
  This spell turns an animal into a paragon of its species making it perfect in every respect. The GM should 
  adjust the beast's statistics, advantages and disadvantages accordingly. The price of such a beast will be at 
  least double the normal cost for a normal animal of the same species and might be considerably higher for 
  some types of animals. 
  Note that this spell only grants physical perfection, the beast receives no extra training due to this spell. 
  However, if IQ or DX are increased, skills based on those attributes will rise as well. 
  Base Cost: 10 points per 100 lbs. of animal or fraction thereof. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Time to Cast: 1 hour 
  Prerequisite s: Magery 2, Improve Beast, Major Alteration 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Cost to Create: 10,000 points. 
  Permanent Alter Behavior  
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the mage to permanently add or remove one instinctive or behavioral trait in an animal. For 
  example, a cat could be made to not spray or scratch the furniture or a wolf could be permanently tamed. Up 
  to -5 points of Odious Habits, Compulsions, or similar mental disadvantages and quirks can be removed per 
  use of this spell. An animal can also be made permanently tame or wild. 
  This spell can also be used to quickly teach the animal certain "tricks" which are based on natural behaviors. 
  For example, a dog could be made to come on command (since packs of canines have a "summon the 
  pack" behavior), but it couldn't be made to scale a ladder, bark three times, and then trip a light switch with 
  its nose, since that isn't a natural behavior. Likewise, a horse could be made to run when it hears a certain 
  sound (since running away from unk nown things is a natural equine behavior) but it couldn't be made to 
  accept a man on its back, since being saddle-trained is not natural behavior for horses. 
  Simple tricks can be implanted automatically, more complex tricks take multiple castings of the spell and lots 
  of normal animal training. This spell halves the time it takes to teach an animal complex tricks and gives a 
  person with Animal Handling skill +4 to their rolls to teach an animal tricks. 
  In other respects this spell is like the Alter Behavior spell. 
  
   30 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 6 per 100 lb. of animal (minimum of 6). 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Alter Behavior 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry.  Cost to Create: 500 points, 200 points if just one species is 
  affected. (b) Collar. Will implant one behavior, specified when the item is created, in any creature 
  who wears it. Cost to Create: 50 points.  
  Permanent Splice Fetus Regular; Resisted by Mother's HT 
  This spell is a more powerful and wicked version of Splice Fetus. Using this spell, the mage permanently 
  shapeshifts the fetus into any animal he is familiar with or any fantastic animal hybrid he can imagine (within 
  the limits of what forms he can create with the Prerequisite spells). The resulting monster will then grow 
  normally in the womb and is delivered just as if it were a normal baby. 
  The resulting monster grows "normally" and has abilities and statistics based on the GM's interpretation of 
  the mage's wishes. Animal-human hybrids are likely to be retarded by human standards and they are also 
  likely to have undesirable "bestial" behavior traits, but anything the GM finds interesting is possible. 
  This is also a Necromantic spell and a BioMagic spell. 
  Base Cost: 20 points 
  Time to Cast: 2 hours. 
  Duration: Permanent. 
  Prerequisite s: Magery 2, Enchant, Partial Shapeshift, Shapeshift and/or Alter Body. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Cost to Create: 2,500 points. 
  Pest Bane 
   Area, Resisted by HT 
  This spell causes small animals (less than 5 lb.) of the type or types specified by the caster to flee the area 
  or sicken and die within 5 minutes. The spell then prevents new creatures from moving into area for the 
  Duration of the spell. The caster can exclude certain creatures or certain individual creatures when the spell 
  is cast. The mage can also cast a non-lethal version of this spell which just makes pests flee and avoid the 
  area for the Duration of the spell. Creatures get a HT roll to avoid dying. They don't get a HT roll to avoid 
  fleeing. 
  Duration: 12 hours 
  Base Cost: 2 to cast, 1 to maintain, can be made permanent for 25 points per hex. 
  Prerequisite : Beast Soother 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, Jewelry, or Incense Burner. Cost to Create: 500 points. (b) Jewelry 
  which keeps wearer pest free. Cost to Create: 150 points. (c) Clothing can be made permanently 
  pest free for 25 points per item.  
  Pheromones 
   Area, resisted by Will 
  This spell creates an area of musk, pheromones, or other chemicals which have the effect of arousing or 
  enraging creatures which are susceptible to pheromones. The mage can select the sort of creatures he 
  wishes to effect and what sort of emotion he wishes to invoke, limited only by what chemicals the creature 
  would naturally respond to. For example, the mage could produce the chemical that causes bees to become 
  angry and defend their hive to enrage a colony of bees, he could produce deer musk to attract stags to a 
  hunting blind, or he could produce scent markings that mark a certain territory as belonging to a specific 
  wolf. 
  It is up to the GM to determine how domestic animals might react to scents. For example, the scent of a 
  mare in season might make a knight's stallion fractious and hard to manage, while the smell of a tomcat 
  might only make a dog pause for a moment to investigate.  
  Intelligent creatures (IQ 6+) get a Will roll to avoid their "natural" reactions, though pheromones can be used 
  to get a +1 to the appropriate Reaction roll, skill, or Suggestion spell in all cases (assuming that the creature 
  would naturally respond to the chemical). For example, pheromones can be used to make members of the 
  opposite sex more relaxed and happy giving +1 to Reactions and Sex Appeal rolls. 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  
   31 
  Base Cost: 4 per hex, same to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Musk 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, or Jewelry.  Cost to Create: 500. (b) Jewelry. Works for wearer only.  
  Cost to Create: 350 points.  
  Polymorph (VH) 
   Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to change into any species of living creature, including outward duplication of the 
  forms of people and animals who have been seen and remembered by the caster. Damage taken in other 
  forms is retained when the caster returns to his normal form. 
  Natural physical abilities possessed by creature and physical advantages and disadvantages are assumed 
  when the mage takes the new form. Inherent mental advantages and disadvantages are not included. For 
  example, a mage who polymorphed into a minotaur would have the minotaur's increased ST and horns, but 
  he wouldn't necessarily have the Bad Temper disadvantage, nor would his IQ decrease or his personality 
  change. Magical abilities not necessary for the new mage's survival in the new form or which are not 
  physically obvious are not included, nor are any skills or abilities. For example, if a mage were to polymorph 
  into the shape of a Water Elemental, he would obviously get the ability to breathe water and to swim, since 
  those are obvious and necessary properties of a water elemental. However, he wouldn't get the ability to 
  shape water (unless he had that spell himself) or to regenerate hit points when he is in water. Since those 
  properties aren't immediately obvious nor are they crucial to everyday survival. If there is any question 
  whether or not a new form should have some natural ability, assume that the form does not. 
  Unlike the Great Shapeshifting spell, this spell does not allow the mage to transform into non-living objects, 
  nor does it allow the mage to switch forms without recasting the spell. 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 6 to cast, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 30 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery 3, IQ 13+, 3 Shapeshifting Spells. 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Can only be used by wearer. Cost to Create: 5,000 points. Usable 
  only by a mage.  
  Polymorph Other (VH) 
   Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to give the subject the ability to polymorph, as above. 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 6 to cast, 3 to maintain. 
  Time to Cast: 30 seconds  
  Prerequisite : Polymorph 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 5,000 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Preening 
   Regular 
  This spell instantly cleans, preens, and arranges the subject's fur, feathers, scales or hide, as if they had just 
  performed whatever species specific grooming rituals they need to keep hale and hearty. 
  If the species gets psychological benefits from such grooming rituals, this spell provides those effects as 
  well. 
  For humans there is little effect of this spell, except that the subject's hair is neatly combed and any 
  parasites like lice, ticks, or fleas are removed from the subject's body. 
  This is also a Body Control spell. 
  Duration: Permanent. 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 2 points, can't be maintained. 
  Prerequisite s: Either Beast Soother or Bathe  
  Repel Creature (VH)  
   Area, Resisted by Will 
  
   32 
  This is the "generic" version of the Repel (Animal) spell. Each order of animal is a variant of this spell and 
  the different variants default to each other at - 4. In other respects it is like the Repel (Animal) spell. 
  Duration: 1 hour

  of creature is blocked by the Magic Item halve costs.  
  Resurrect Animal (VH) 
   Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to bring a dead animal back to life if he has a relatively recent, undamaged  
  corpse to work with. It will automatically fail if it is cast on a creature that had an IQ of 7 or better. In other 
  respects this spell is like the Resurrection spell., and can be used as a Prerequisite for the Resurrection 
  spell. This spell is also a Healing spell and a Necromantic spell. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 5 per 100 lb. of animal (minimum 5 points) 
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Create Animal 
  Magic Item: Staff or Wand. Cost to Create: 2,500 points.  
  Shades of Prey  
   Regular 
  This spell allows a piece of food or meat (or a can of food for high tech mages) grow legs and run and leap 
  about like a deranged rodent. This allows housebound pets or animals that won't eat dead food to "hunt" 
  their food. 
  This is also a Food spell and a Necromantic spell. 
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 1 per 10 lb. of food, half (minimum 1) to maintain

  Shapeshifting (Human) 
   Regular 
  Spiderbolt 
   Missile 
  When this spell is cast, hundreds of tiny spiders shoot from the caster's hand covering the victim. The 
  subject can Dodge or Block this attack, but PD from body armor does not apply. The spiders will 
  immediately attack, doing damage just like a Swarm of spiders (damage as below, 5 points of damage to 
  disperse). Completely sealed clothing and armor protects the subject from taking damage, otherwise armor 
  protects for turns equivalent to its DR, then the spiders get through and start doing damage. Multiple swarms 
  don't do any extra damage, however, they do add their HP to disperse. When the spell ends, the spiders 
  drop dead, vanish, or disperse. The spiderbolt has SS 13, Acc+1, 1/2D 20, Max 40. 
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 2 for spiders doing 1d-1 damage pr turn.  
  3 for spiders doing 1d. Cannot be maintained.

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points. 
  Splice Fetus 
   Regular, Resisted by Mother's HT 
  
   33 
  Splice Fetus is the sort of spell that gives mages a bad name. This spell transforms a fetus into an animal 
  (or some other creature which the mage is familiar with) or an hybrid of an animal and a human (or two 
  animals) killing it in the process. The fetus is then spontaneously aborted within 1d6 days. The resulting 
  miscarriage does 1d-3 points of damage to the mother and will incapacitate her for at least a day. 
  This is also a Necromantic spell and a BioMagic spell. 
  Base Cost: 10 points. 
  Time to Cast: 2 hours. 
  Duration: Permanent. 
  Prerequisite s: Magery, Shapeshift or Partial Shapeshift  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Cost to Create: 500 points. 
  Spontaneous Generation  
   Regular 
  This spell allows a creature to spontaneously generate from material which would "naturally" generate it 
  according to traditional beliefs. For example, rotting meat could be made to generate maggots which would 
  turn into flies, or horse hairs in water would spontaneously generate into worms. Generally only "lesser" 
  creatures can be created in this manner, but the GM might rule that larger animals can be spontaneously 
  generated from some materials. 
  In order to generate a particular sort of creature, the mage must have a quantity of the substance that is 
  believed to create that creature.  
  Base Cost: 1 to generate small creatures such as worms or flies, 2 to generate slightly larger 
  creatures such as fish, lizards or toads, 5 to generate a large creature. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute

  points. (b) Staff, wand or jewelry. Cost to Create 300 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Tail 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  This allows the subject to grow a functional tail or converts his tail from one form to another. The various 
  options are as follows: 
  • 
  Normal Tail - The subject grows a tail which can be used for balance (+1 to DX to keep his footing on 
  narrow ledges and the like) and/or signalling. Cost: 2, 1 to maintain. 
  • 
  Prehensile Tail - The subject grows a tail that can be used as a hand! Treat this as an extra hand with 
  no attack and Poor Grip (DX-4). It has a reach of 1 hex. Each extra hex of reach costs 1 point. Cost: 3, 2 
  to maintain, plus the cost of extra reach. (This applies to maintenance as well as Base Costs.) 
  • 
  Smashing Tail - The subject grows a tail that can be used to smash to his side and rear hexes. The tail 
  does Swing-1 Crushing damage and has a reach of 1. The subject uses Brawling skill to strike with the 
  tail unless he has been trained in a martial art that includes tail strikes. All attacks are at -4 unless the 
  subject is familiar with using a tail as a weapon. (It takes 10 hours of practice to buy off each -1 penalty). 
  In addition, unless the subject is specifically aiming his tail, all tail strikes are considered to be Wild 
  Swings. Every extra point of energy gives the tail 1 extra hex of reach. A tail with 2 hexes of reach can 
  strike into the subject's front hexes. Each extra hex of reach also gives +1 to the damage done, up to a 
  maximum of +2. Cost:3,2 to maintain, plus the cost of any extra reach.  
  
   34 
  • 
  Slashing Tail - The subject grows a long tail with a hard, cutting tip on the end. This tail is exactly like 
  the Smashing tail except that the damage type is Cutting. Cost: 4,3 to maintain, plus the cost of extr 
  reach. 
  • 
  Impaling Tail - Like the Slashing tail, but all damage is impaling. Cost: 5, 4 to maintain. plus the cost of 
  extra reach.  
  • 
  Stinger - Like an impaling tail except that any successful strike requires the victim to roll vs. HT or suffer 
  the effects of Type A venom. Cost: 6,4 to maintain, plus the cost of extra reach.If the subject already has 
  a tail, he may subtract 2 from the Base Cost of the spell and 1 from the maintenance cost, to a minimum 
  of 1 point in each. (However, the cost to change his tail from one type to another is still 2 points, plus 1 
  point to maintain). 
  This is also a Body Control spell. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Base Cost: Variable, see above. 
  Prerequisite : Claws  
  Trainer 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell temporarily turns an untrained animal into a trained one. The first application of this spell gives the 
  animal "Basic Training" if the animal doesn't already have it - a dog understands basic obedience 
  commands, a horse is saddle broken. The next (and subsequent) applications of this spell give the animal a 
  skill level of 13 in a skill it would normally be able to learn. For example, a dog could be "trained" to be a 
  trained tracker (with skill level 13) or a horse could be trained for combat (combat training 13) or as a pack 
  horse (under pack 13). 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 2 points per 100 lb. of animal, half to maintain. Can be made permanent for 25 times 
  the Base Cost. 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite: Leash 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 500 points. (b) Leash, Saddle or Harness. Works for 
  wearer (which must be an animal of the appropriate sort) only.  
  Always on. Cost to Create: 250 points for Basic Training only, 500 points for Basic Training plus a 
  specific skill, add 150 points for each additional skill.  
  Web 
   Area, resisted by DX 
  Web covers an area in Spider Silk. Those in the area of effect may roll vs. DX to dodge out of the way, at -1 
  for each hex between them and the outermost edge of the area of effect. (So someone 3 hexes from the 
  edge of the area of effect would be at -3 to DX to avoid this spell.) 
  In other respects, the webs are like those created by the Spider Silk spell. 
  Base Cost: 2, minimum 4. 
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds. 
  Duration: 1 minute. 
  Prerequisite s: Magery, Spider Silk 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Cost to Create: 500 points.

  Body Control Spells 
  This is a large and powerful group of spells, though there are many minor spells as well. GMs should 
  carefully limit the total number of Body Control spells available.  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Spasm - This spell can affect any muscle in the subject's body making him nod, blink, twitch, stutter, 
  stumble or perform any other short, involuntary muscular action.  
  Climbing - If the subject doesn't already have the Climbing skill, this spell temporarily gives him Climbing 10 
  in addition to the other effects of this spell. Howe ver, for the spell to be effective, the subject must have both 
  hands and feet free. Encumbrance beyond None is counted against Climbing skill just like normal. This spell 
  also gives the subject a bonus to DX or ST to grasp or hang onto the surface he is climbing or to grab 
  climbing equipment like thrown ropes.  
  Stun - The subject is at -2 to HT rolls to resist or recover from stun for every extra point of power put into 
  this spell.  
  Rooted Feet - This spell will work on any animate creature (including undead or golems). The cost to cast is 
  reduced to 2. If the subject fails three consecutive ST rolls, he is permanently rooted until the spell ends. 
  The mage can also trade off energy for skill to better control strong creatures. For every extra energy point 
  put into this spell, the mage gets an effective +3 to his skill with this spell for purposes of contests of skills 
  only.  
  Tanglefoot - The subject is at -1 to DX rolls to avoid tripping for every extra point of power put into this spell. 
  If the subject falls, he falls flat on his back (falling backward) or face (falling forward) as the mage desires. If 
  the subject was moving quickly, he might take damage from his fall.  
  Alter Visage - The mage can also improve or damage the subject's existing features allowing increases or 
  decreases in Appearance. The sociological implications of this spell (with or without modification) are 
  immense, so GMs should carefully limit its use unless he wants everyone who can afford it to be Very 
  Handsome/Beautiful with the option of changing their face at will. Magic Item: (b) Any, but usually clothing, 
  jewelry or a mask. Improves or reduces the subject's Appearance by some set amount. 1,000 points. per 
  +1/-1 of Appearance bonus up to +/-3.  
  Alter Body - Can be used to alter Appearance as above, but whole body changes can be made. Up to one 
  level of the Fat disadvantage can be effectively removed by means of this spell (by altering the subject's 
  height and body shape) as can the Skinny disadvantage. These effects remove reaction penalties only, they 
  don't change the underlying physical condition. Magic Item: (b) Any, but usually clothing, jewelry or a mask. 
  Improves or reduces the subject's Appearance (for his whole body) by some set amount. 1,000 points. per 
  +1/-1 of Appearance bonus up to +/-5.  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire  
  Alter Voice - The mage can also imitate non-human voices, as long as they fall within his normal vocal 
  range. For example, the mage could honk like a goose or squeal like a dolphin, but he couldn't make 
  ultrasonic dolphin noises unless he could normally speak in the ultrasonic range.  
  Hold Breath - This is also an air spell.  
  Choke - For double cost the subject can actually be strangled as if by a man with ST equal to the mage's 
  skill with this spell. Magic Item: (b) Rope, Garrote, or Scarf which will automatically begin to strangle the 
  subject when wrapped around his neck. Cost to Create: 300 points.  
  Hair Growth - Hair can be made to grow on any part of the subject's body. The color, texture and length are 
  determined by the caster within the limits of the spell. Multiple castings on the same location will produce 
  longer hair. Magic Item: (b) Jewelry, Comb, Brush or Clothing which allows user to grow hair on any part of 
  their body that they wish. Cost to Create: 200 points. (c) Ointment or shampoo which will grow 1 foot of hair 
  on a part of the subject's body which would normally have hair (like the scalp). Good for one use only. Cost 
  to Create: 25 points.  
  Haircut - Hair can be trimmed or removed from any part of the subject's body. Magic Item (b) Jewelry or 
  Clothing (usually a cap) which will magically trim subject's hair to a set length. Cost to Create: 200 points.  
  
   36 
  Hunger - The subject also feels intensely hungry and must roll vs. Will to resist eating any seemingly 
  palatable food that is placed in front of them.  
  Lengthen Limb - The subject can lengthen his neck so that he can peek over walls, around corners and so 
  forth. Lengthened limbs are at -4 to target, or half of their normal "to hit" penalty, whichever is more. 
  Lengthened limbs can also be used to constrict if they are long enough and if the subject has sufficient 
  strength to do damage.  
  Perfume - This spell can be used to change the subject's natural smell making it more difficult to track him 
  by scent (-4 to Tracking rolls). Scent cannot be eliminated by means of this spell. The maximum reaction 
  penalty for a foul smell is -2. Pleasant smells can make the subject more appealing but don't affect reaction 
  modifiers.  
  Retch - If cast on an unconscio us person or a person in a weightless environment, they must roll vs. HT or 
  begin to Suffocate. In order for this spell to be used as an effective emetic, the mage must first make a 
  successful Diagnosis or Poisons roll to determine the type of poison the subject has ingested. If the poison 
  ingested can be purged by vomiting, a casting of this spell gives the subject +4 to HT rolls to resist the 
  poison if its effects haven't taken hold yet. If the subject is already suffering symptoms, this spell will give +2 
  to HT to resist future effects of the poison.  
  Sensitize - The benefit of this spell is that the subject gets +2 to Touch sense rolls.  
  Strike Anosmic - At the caster's whim either the subject's sense of taste or sense of smell, or both senses 
  can be struck.  
  Strike Barren - If the subject is willing, the mage can "transfer" the power to reverse the spell to the subject, 
  allowing it to become an effective contraceptive. However, once the spell has been removed, it must be 
  recast. It can't be turned back on unless the Suspend spell is used.  
  Thirst - The subject also feels intensely thirsty and must roll vs. Will to resist drinking any seemingly 
  palatable beverage that is placed in front of them. Two castings of this spell cancels the Voice advantage 
  and makes it impossible for the subject to speak above a whisper. Skills which require articulate speaking or 
  movement of the mouth (including Singing and most musical instrument skills) are at -2 per casting of this 
  spell.  
  Control Limb - The head can be controlled, but the subject cannot be made to speak involuntarily. A 
  controlled head can be made to turn or the eyes or mouth can be forced open or closed, but the subject 
  can't be made to bite himself.  
  Tickle - The subject gets +4 to resistance rolls if he is in combat or any other high-stress situation.  
  Fumble - See also Bobble.  
  Cadence - Any skill which mostly consists of tool use and repetitive motions can benefit from this spell. 
  Specifically, artistic skills such as Artist, Calligraphy, and Sculptor skills can be speeded up. Outdoor skills 
  such as Rowing or Hiking can also be improved. Speed of ordinary writing or typing can also be doubled. 
  Skills which require frequent pauses for thought or which rely on mostly mental activity (such as 
  Architecture, Accounting, or Writing skill) can't be improved. For double cost speed of work can be tripled, 
  but this costs the subject 1 extra fatigue per hour.  
  Decapitation - The subject can detach any limb. Detached limbs move at half normal Move and have half 
  strength (1/3 ST for hands or feet). For 2 extra points this spell can be made into a blocking spell. When a 
  blow aimed at a body part hits the mage, it does no damage, it just "severs" the body part according to this 
  spell. This spell may be cast on an unwilling subject but the victim gets a roll vs. HT to resist and the mage 
  must touch the subject.

  New Spells 
  Accelerate Growth 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  Accelerate Growth may only be used on a creature which has not yet reached full maturity. It may be cast 
  multiple times, but never more than once a day. When cast successfully, subject physically ages 100 days in 
  that day. Thus, if the spell were cast successfully every day, it would take about 2 and a half months to raise 
  a new-born baby to a physical age of 20. If this spell is cast on a fetus, but the mother must roll vs. HT or 
  suffer 1d Crushing damage for every 100 days that the fetus is aged beyond the time when it would normally 
  be brought to term. (The normal gestation period for a human infant is approximately 270 days.) This 
  assumes that she is attended by someone who rolls successfully against Physician skill. If she is not, then 
  she must roll against HT-2. If she does roll successfully, she still takes 1 point of damage per die of damage 
  she avoided.  
  A baby's ability to learn is also magically accelerated by the spell, but to a lesser extent than if the child 
  learned naturally. A newborn baby aged to adulthood will have rudimentary speech (sort of like Tarzan in the 
  movies) and will have "basic skills" appropriate for a child in their culture. They also have 1 character point 
  to spend on skills for every casting of this spell. However, they are prone to mental disadvantages reflecting 
  lack of experience with the world such as Gullible, Cowardice, Delusions, Bad Temper, and Weak Will. The 
  GM should design the newly "developed" baby as an NPC.  
  Base Cost: 4 points 
  Time to Cast: 5 minutes. 
  Duration: Permanent.

  Advantage 
  Regular, Resisted by HT 
  Any physical advantage or disadvantage can be turned into a spell. Each advantage or disadvantage is a

  them into spells.

  When the mage touches the clothing or skin of the subject, his touch raises large, pus-filled blisters on the 
  victim's skin. This does 1d -3 points of damage to the victim and lowers his Appearance by one level (to a 
  minimum of Hideous) for each touch. In addition, the blisters make the subject's skin painful and tender, 
  temporarily giving the subject the Low Pain Threshold advantage (or negating the High Pain Threshold 
  advantage). Unless the blisters are carefully drained and bandaged under sterile conditions, the victim must 
  roll vs. HT or his wounds become infected. In hot, humid, or dirty conditions, the GM might require a penalty

  Regular, resisted by HT 
  When cast on an undead or cold-blooded creature, their bodies temporarily become as warm as a human's 
  body, their hearts beat (or beat faster), and they show up on infra-red scans. Undead register as "alive" 
  when Detect Undead or Detect Life spells are cast on them. Cold-blooded creatures under the influence of

  Strands of hair have ST 1 and DX 8. Unless the subject has unusually long hair, he can only use his hair at 
  close combat range.  
  Hairstyle generated by means of this spell stay combed and in place for up to 12 hours after the spell ends.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain 
  Magic Item: (a) Comb or Brush. Cost to Create: 100 points. Jewelry, Ribbon or hair ornament. 
  Works for wearer only. Cost to Create: 50 points.  
  Coordination 
  Regular 
  Gives the subject the Full Coordination advantage for the Duration of the spell. Unless the subject has more 
  than two arms, all this spell will do is allow the recipient to make a second attack (or perform a second 
  action) at no penalty to hit.  
  Duration: 10 seconds.  
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Offhand 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 1,200 points. (b) Clothing or jewelry. Works 
  for wearer only. Cost to Create: 750 points.  
  Deadeye 
  Regular 
  This spell temporarily modifies one of the subject's eyes into an organ that works very much like a telescopic 
  scope. This allows the subject to reduce range penalties to hit any target he can see with a non-magical 
  
   42 
  ranged attack. In order for the spell to work, the subject must be able to see the target he is aiming at, wild 
  shots and indirect fire at hidden foes aren't allowed 
  The first level of this spell halves range penalties for aimed shots. Subsequent levels halve range penalties 
  again. (So, double fatigue gives 1/4 range penalties, triple fatigue give 1/8 etc.) 
  Base Cost: 2, same to maintain for 1/2 range penalties. Each doubling of cost halves range 
  penalties again.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite s: Lend Skill 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works 
  for wearer only. Cost to Create: 300 points per level.   
  Delay Fatigue 
  Regular 
  The subject takes no fatigue while the spell is in effect. Once the spell passes, all cumulative fatigue is 
  assessed at once and it is possible that the subject will fall unconscious. If the subject loses more than -ST 
  in fatigue points, they will take 1 point of damage for each multiple of negative ST. (For example, if Ferd has 
  ST 12 and uses this spell to delay 36 points of fatigue, then he would be rendered unconscious and would 
  take 2 points of damage, because his final ST score would be -24 points which is two multiples of his 
  negative ST).  
  Fatigue lost due to spellcasting or psi use can't be delayed by means of this spell nor can the Base Cost of 
  this spell be reduced to less than 1 point of Fatigue.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 2 to maintain (1 minimum)  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Vigor 
  Magic Item: Staff or Wand. Cost to Create: 500 points.  
  Devolution (VH) 
  Regular, Resisted by HT 
  This spell causes a creature to devolve into form possessed by its distant genetic ancestors. For example, a 
  modern man could be devolved into a proto-human hominid, or a horse might be devolved into an eohippus. 
  Generally, this will result in a reduction in IQ and HT, DX and ST might be reduced, increased, or 
  unchanged depending on the specific race. Advantages and disadvantages might be changed, as can racial 
  skills, however, individual skills and disadvantages and advantages can't be altered. In some cases 
  "devolution" of badly devolved or inbred species will actually produce an individual with superior IQ and HT. 
  Extremely old or stable races might be immune to this spell. The exact details are up to the GM.  
  It can only be cast in a laboratory situation where the caster has no outside influences and the creature is 
  constrained or confined. The spell scans the creature for any and all aspects which can be described as a 
  product of evolution or environment in any form, whether normal or magical. This includes ST, DX, IQ, and 
  HT, advantages, disadvantages, behavioral patterns and so forth. Also, the caster is able to determine what 
  the lowest base form of the creature would be like if all abilities were reverted back to the most common 
  ancestor of a varied species. So, all dragons would eventually become some prehistoric lizard, horses would 
  become miniature prehistoric ponies, etc.  
  At the end of the analysis the wizard may "devolve" the creature as he sees fit. However, many 
  characteristics are linked. For example, if a mage wanted to devolved a dragon back to its prehistoric lizard 
  form, then the resulting reduction in size would reduce its ST, and the resulting reduction in IQ would destroy 
  most of its innate spell-casting abilities (if it had them). Again, the exact details are up to the GM. For each 
  "devolution" the mage wishes to attempt, the creature gets a roll vs. HT to resist the change. On a critical 
  failure on the HT roll, the mage accidentally uncovered a latent lethal mutation and the victim dies.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 200 points. per hex of creature plus 10 points per character point gained or lost.  
  Time to Cast: 1 hour 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Alter Body, 10 Body Control spells.

  Evolution (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell is used to advance the target up the evolutionary scale of development, whether known or 
  imagined by the mage. In order for the spell to work, the subject must be present and the mage must touch 
  the subject, though the subject need not be willing or even conscious. Creatures which undergo 
  metamorphosis can be advanced to a later stage of development with this spell. (For example, tadpoles 
  could be turned into frogs.) Other creatures can be improved as if they were the end result of dozens of 
  generations of selective breeding.  
  In game terms this means that virtually any advantage, attribute, skill, power, or ability, that the GM deems 
  reasonable can be bestowed as a "Racial" ability. However, not only does the mage have to pay for any 
  improvement in the subject, but the subject must use any character points earned in the future to pay off the 
  cost of such improvements, if they are made permanent.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 200 points, plus 10 points per character point of advantages gained.  
  Time to Cast: 1 hour 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Devolution   
  Exercise 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  Gives the subject the effects of a whole-body work-out session appropriate for their age, sex, species, and 
  level of ability. This costs the subject 2 Fatigue in addition to the cost of casting the spell, but it gives subject 
  the physical and psychological benefits of exercise. 
  The subject cannot gain ST, DX, or HT by means of this spell, but won't suffer deterioration of attributes due 
  to inactivity, as long as this spell is cast faithfully.  
  This spell can only be cast once per day per person. Subsequent attempts to cast it on the same person on 
  the same day will automatically fail.  
  Duration: Instantaneous. (Effects last for 1 day).

  must make a normal reaction roll. Only notably filthy people (i.e. Orcs, hermits) are unaffected. 
  Duration: Permanent, until washed off.  
  Base Cost: 2 
  Prerequisite : Itch 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff or Wand. Cost to Create: 300 points. (b) Jewelry or Clothing. Affects wearer 
  only. Can't be removed. Cost to Create: 100 points.   
  Flesh Box 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell enables the caster to place an item inside of his body. In order to do this, the item must be 
  theoretically capable of fitting inside the subject's body. That is, its dimensions cannot exceed those of the 
  largest part of the subject's body (typically the torso), and its weight and volume cannot exceed the weight 
  
   45 
  and volume of the subject's body. The subject can place an object in somebody else's body, but unwilling 
  subjects get a roll vs. HT to resist the spell.  
  If these conditions are fulfilled, the item magically "sinks" into the subject's flesh where it will remain until the 
  spell ends or until the subject wills the item to emerge. When commanded to reappear the object will pop out 
  in the same condition it was in when it was placed inside the subject. While in the body the item retains its 
  mass and chemical composition, but doesn't interfere with the functioning of the body unless the item is 
  actively poisonous or the creature has a Vulnerability to that item. For example, a sword could be placed 
  inside the body of a large man. While the sword is inside his body it will not cut him and it will magically bend 
  as he moves. However, if the sword is envenomed, the "host" must roll vs. HT to avoid being poisoned!  
  Items hidden inside a body are undetectable in contests of Holdout skill vs. Vision. However, they are visible 
  to creatures with Penetrating Vision or to high-tech scanners such as x-rays. If a dangerous item is placed 
  inside the subject's body, Danger Sense or Detect Foes will register some sort of danger, but the presence 
  of the Flesh Box isn't revealed. Items inside the subject when the spell ends are harmlessly expelled from 
  the body.  
  This spell can be cast on an unwilling victim. In this case, the only person who can remove the implanted 
  item is the spell caster (or a mage who successfully casts a counterspell) and the victim gets a roll vs. HT to 
  resist the spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 per pound of material, half Base Cost to maintain. (Minimum 3, 2 to maintain.)  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Alter Body

  Groom 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell acts as a combination of the Bathe, Remove Blemish, Fair Skin, Haircut and Makeup spells. In 
  addition to being faster and cheaper to cast than its various component spells, the cumulative effects give 
  the character +1 to reaction rolls in situations where hygiene and grooming are important.  
  Duration: Permanent   Cost: 4 points, can't be maintained.  
  Prerequisite s: Bathe, Remove Blemish, Fair Skin, Makeup, Haircut

  for the No Fine Manipulators or No Manipulators advantage.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds Energy Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. Double cost if the mage has no forelimbs!  
  Prerequisite s: Minor Alteration

  Heat Stroke 
   Regular, resisted by HT

  temperature, causing them to react as if they had a severe heat injury. Each minute the victim must roll vs. 
  HT or lose 1d-3 points of Fatigue and suffer the effects of Heat Cramps and Heat Exhaustion. When Fatigue 
  reaches 3, the victim must roll vs. HT each minute to remain conscious and HT is lost instead of Fatigue.  
  If the ambient temperature is more than 70 degrees, the subject is at -1 to HT to resist. If the temperature is

  does normal knockback. Every 8 hits will move the subject 1 hex directly away from the caster in a straight 
  line. Though there is no direct damage, being pushed into a stone wall or similar obstacle would cause 
  damage as per falling. DR does not protect vs. the knockback effect, but it does protect against collision 
  damage. The mage must touch the subject in order for this spell to work.  
  Duration: 1 second.  
  Base Cost: 1 to 3; each point does 1d+2 knockback damage.  
  Prerequisite s: Might.  
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Works for wearer only. Cost to Create: 400 points.  
  Hesitate 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Forces the subject to roll vs. Will or hesitate for 1 round before taking any new action. For example, a 
  character under the influence of this spell must hesitate for one round before attacking each new foe.

  combat or attack a new foe. This spell halves the subject's basic Speed when determining Initiative.

  Clothing. Affects wearer or us er only. Always on. Can't be removed. Cost to Create: 300 points.  
  Hiccup 
   Regular, Resisted by HT 
  Gives subject a bad case of the hiccups. This can disrupt spells which must be spoken (the caster must roll 
  vs. Will every second or disrupt their spell-casting) and cancels the effects of the Voice advantage. It also 
  gives -2 to use skills which require use of the voice like Fast-Talk, Bard, or Singing. Skills which require 
  breath control, fine motor control, or inconspicuousness like Swimming, Surgery or Shadowing will also be at 
  -2. The GM may also rule that some skills, such as Breath Control or Stealth are impossible while the 
  subject has the hiccups.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 2 to cast, 1 to maintain

  wearer only. Always on. Can't be removed. Cost to Create: 150 points.  
  Hold 
   Regular, Resisted by HT

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points.

  for wearer only. Cost to Create: 350 points.  
  Hypothermia 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell reduces the victim's temperature to a dangerously low level. Each minute the subject must roll vs. 
  HT or lose 1d-3 points of Fatigue. They will also be at -3 to DX and IQ due to severe shivering and reduced 
  mental capacity. When Fatigue reaches 3, the victim must roll vs. HT each minute to remain conscious and 
  HT is lost instead of Fatigue.  
  If the ambient temperature is below 50 degrees, the subject is at -1 to HT rolls to resist this spell. If the 
  temperature is below freezing, if the subject is soaking wet or has not been active, he is at -2 to HT rolls!  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Chill 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points.   
  Impediment 
   Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This spell makes the subject's actions slower and less efficient halving the speed at which he works at most 
  Craft skills. Other skills which mostly rely upon physical, repetitive motion can be affected by this spell, but 
  skills that rely entirely on repetitive motion (like Running or Rowing) are not affected.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Hinder

  Implant Object 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows an inanimate item to meld into the subject's body becoming a part of its physical structure 
  for the Duration of the spell. For example, a saddle could be melded to a horse's back so that it would never 
  come off and would become part of the horse's body. Items melded into the body become partially alive and 
  are naturally cleaned and healed by the body. However, they can't be removed. Damage taken by a melded 
  item which surpasses its PD or DR is taken as damage by the creature that is wearing it. Damaged items 
  can be fixed with healing spells while they are implanted. Magic Items retain their powers while melted. Held 
  items which are implanted can't be knocked loose unless the limb holding them is crippled.  
  The spell doesn't give the subject the ability to feel sensations through the implanted item.

  user's flesh at will and released with a command word. Cost to Create: 250 points. per pound of 
  material (minimum of 250 points.).  
  Inversion (VH) Regular, resisted by HT + Will 
  Causes the subject's body to turn inside out, killing them within 1 minute (1d points of damage per turn until 
  the subject is dead). This spell is very gruesome, anyone who sees the victim must make a Fright Checks.  
  This is also a Necromantic spell.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 10 points, can't be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Alter Body  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 1,000 points.  
  Iron Stomach 
   Regular 
  Allows the subject to consume any substance and derive substinance from it. This affects the entire

  Magic Item: a liquid, when drunk will endow the consumer with Iron stomach for 1 hour. Cost to 
  Create to create: 100.  
  Ironbone 
   Regular 
  The subject's bones become hard and resist breakage. Cutting damage is -1 per full four points applied 
  before the cutting modifier. Crushing damage is halved rounded down. Twice as much damage as normal is 
  required to cripple a limb. Any called shot against an area not protected by bones, such as the throat or 
  vitals, is not effected by this spell.  
  This spell temporarily cancels the Fragile disadvantage and negates the Brittlebone spell.  
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 2 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 1 second.  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Prerequisite s: Magery, Shatterproof, Brittlebone.  
  Dance 
   Regular: Resisted by Will 
  The subject feels an uncontrollable urge to dance and he will do so unless he resists. Each turn, he may 
  make another resistance roll. Should he fail, he moves one hex in a randomly determined direction, 
  otherwise he can control the direction of his movement (though he can't shake off the effects of the spell). 
  Dancing characters can do nothing but dance, their Move is halved and DX and ST are reduced by -2. All 
  skills (except purely mental ones) and Active Defenses are reduced by -2. The subject must also roll vs. HT 
  every minute or lose a point of fatigue. This will definitely spoil a wizard's spellcasting unless he can cast a 
  spell without having to gesture. On the positive side, the subject temporarily gets the Dance skill at level 10 if 
  he didn't already have it.  
  Duration: 1 minute or until subject falls unconscious 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Repetition

  forces everyone who hears it (20 hex radius) to make a resistance roll or start dancing. Cost to 
  Create: 1,000 points. (c) Clothing or Jewelry which forces anyone who wears it to dance. Cost to 
  Create: 300 points.  
  Irritating Touch 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  The subject's body is covered with a powerful caustic oil similar to that produced by poison ivy. When the 
  mage touches the victim's bare flesh, that person must roll vs. HT or begin to suffer from an intense itching 
  that gives -2 to ST, DX, and IQ. If the subject had extensive contact with the mage (or vice-versa) they must 
  roll vs. HT- 2. If the subject is grappling the mage, they must roll vs. Will each turn in order to continue 
  grappling. Clothing and armor give a bonus to HT equal to the DR of the armor and prevents damage for as 
  many seconds as the armor has DR. (So, DR 2 armor would give +2 to HT rolls to avoid damage and would 
  completely protect against damage for 2 seconds). Completely sealed armor, such as ulta-tech battlesuits or 
  vacc suits give complete protection. Several hours after the initial contact, large blisters will erupt on the 
  victim's body in any location where they had contact with the mage. These blisters do 1 point of damage per 
  hit location touched, or the GM can assume that the subject was touched in 1d-3 (minimum 1) locations for 
  casual or brief contact or 1d+1 locations for close contact.  
  Duration: 10 seconds (effects are permanent).  
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Itch 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Clothing. Cost to Create: 350 points.(b) Greasy contact 
  poison which causes effects of this spell on any bare flesh it touches. The poison can be applied to 
  blades and other non- porous surfaces and will last until it touches a suitable target. Then the magic 
  in the poison is consumed and it becomes inert. Must be applied with gloves or some other tool or it 
  will affect the person who is attempting to apply it! Cost to Create: 50 points.  
  Keen Senses 
   Regular 
  This spell will enhance one or more of the mage's sense for the Duration of the spell, as long as he 
  has some ability in that sense to begin with. Note that this spell only improves one sense, and that 
  sense still won't function if blocked in some way (like trying to see in the dark). Multiple senses can 
  be improved by application of the same spell. It is up to the mage to determine how the bonuses to

  Lactation  
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell causes a mammal to begin producing milk, as if it had recently given birth. This spell allows 
  women (or men!) to wet nurse babies without having to give birth themselves. It is also extremely useful in 
  dairy farming or for wet-nursing unexpected babies. Milk production is equal to that of a normal female 
  member of that breed and species. Milk production can be increased beyond this by increasing the energy 
  put into the spell, but this is extremely painful for the subject. They must make a Will roll or be at -1 to IQ and 
  ST.  
  This is also a Food spell and an Animal spell.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain.  Each doubling of cost doubles milk production. For double cost a non-

  extra ST for each deep breath taken underwater. As a side effect, the subject's ears are also made 
  impermeable to water. While this doesn't help the subject to hear any better while underwater, it does keep 
  water out of his ears.  
  The effect of this spell is to give the subject +4 to his Swimming roll to avoid drowning when he first enters 
  the water and +2 to all subsequent Swimming rolls to avoid drowning. In addition, the subject never 
  "swallows water" on a critical failure on the Swimming roll.

  skill (or any mental skill which relies upon manual dexterity or physical conditioning ) from deteriorating due  
  to lack of use. 
  The spell costs the subject 1 Fatigue in addition to the costs to cast the spell, but gives him the benefits of a

  however, their inherent racial mental disadvantages and individual mental and physical disadvantages 
  remain unchanged. However, the GM may rule that some mental disadvantages are physically inherent in

  inherently incapable of understanding the concept of money or a GURPS Minotaur might be inherently 
  Cannibalistic.  
  Each different species is a different spell. Changing the appearance of a member of one species to the

  or some other meaningless, repetitive action chosen by the caster when the spell is cast. Subjects cannot be 
  made to deliberately do harm themselves or others, though clever casters will find ways to get around this

  Makes the subject immune to the effects of alcohol for the Duration of the spell. At the caster's option, the 
  subject can have complete resistance beyond a certain level while still enjoying (or suffering) the effects of 
  intoxication below the threshold level. If the Intoxication rules from GURPS Callahan's Crosstime Saloon are 
  
   56 
  used, the mage can determine the maximum Intoxication Level (from 0 to 15) that the subject can attain, 
  otherwise the GM must judge the effects.

  Rigor 
   Regular, Resisted by HT 
  Causes all the muscles in the subject's body to contract. This will cause the subject to fall to the ground and 
  remain motionless in a fetal position for the Duration of the spell. For the Duration of the spell the subject is 
  affected as if he was being Suffocated (see GURPS Basic), and he will die if the spell is maintained for a 
  sufficient length of time. (This simulates the fact that the spell "freezes" the muscles of the diaphram, so the 
  victim can't breathe.) In addition the spell will cause 1d-2 Crushing damage as general body in muscle 
  damage to the subject, per application. This damage persists even if the suffocation doesn't do any lasting 
  harm.

   Missile

  him, and anyone in the hexes adjacent to him as if the Retch spell had been cast on them. (Roll vs. HT to 
  avoid its effects.) In addition, the horrible smell lingers in the hex and adjacent hexes (and on the victim's 
  body) as if the Perfume spell had been cast on the area. Anything with a nose reacts to the victim (and those 
  adjacent to the victim) at -2.  
  The missile has Acc 1, SS 12, 1/2 15, Max 30.  
  Duration: 1 second. Perfume effects linger for 1 minute.  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds.  
  Base Cost: 3, same to maintain 
  Prerequisite s: Retch, Perfume 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 350 points.   
  Secrete Venom 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  The mage creates venom within his mouth. The venom may be of any class, and may be either ingested or 
  contact. Each type of venom (i.e. Class C, Ingested) must be learned as a separate familiarity of this spell, 
  based on Secrete Venom -4. No familiarity can be learned to a higher level than the base skill level.  
  An ingested poison will do no harm to the mage unless swallowed again, but a contact poison will still 
  damage the mage unless he spits it out immediately (within 10 seconds) or is immune to its effects. All 
  poisons produced with this spell are clear and odorless. However, if the poison is one that takes immediate 
  effect, then the subject will taste (ingested) or feel (contact) the poison.  
  It is very difficult to transfer contact poison from the mouth to a weapon or object, so Venomous Touch is 
  preferred when a mage needs to apply a contact poison. The GM might require the mage to make a DX 
  check to transfer contact venom to a jar or cloth without getting it on his lips or hands.  
  The mage can spit the venom at DX, but only to a distance of 1 hex. Contact venom will have an effect only 
  if it strikes flesh. Ingested venom will have an effect only if it strikes an open mouth and is then swallowed, 
  which is quite tricky unless the victim cooperates! It is more effective to discreetly spit into the victim's drink 
  or onto his food.  
  The poison will evaporate about as quickly as water would, and can be wiped off just as easily. Once the 
  poison evaporates or is wiped off, it is completely harmless.  
  Venom strength is as follows: A = 2d, B = 2d-2, C = 3d, D = 0, F = 3d, G = 4d (fatigue), H = 4d, J = 3d, K = 
  0, X = G.M.s discretion.  
  
   57 
  Base Cost: 3 per dose. For every 2 extra fatigue spent, the mage can make the poison more 
  powerful. Either HT rolls may be made at -1 or damage can increased by +1 (every 3 points of extra 
  damage is converted into another die of damage) each time it is taken. The mage may pay even 
  more Fatigue to get both benefits or multiple levels. Can't be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 4 seconds.  
  Prerequisite s: Detect Poison and either two Body Control spells and Decay or Shapeshift (some 
  venomous creature).  
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Cost to Create: 250 points.  
  A cruder version of the Decapitate spell, the Sever Limb spell will magically sever a body part in the normal 
  fashion. If a limb is severed, the damage done is equal to the amount of damage needed to cripple the limb 
  and the subject must roll vs. HT to avoid Bleeding. If the head is severed, the victim dies. Armor does not 
  protect, but the mage must actually touch the body part to be affected.  
  This is also a Necromantic spell.  
  Duration: Instantaneous, effects are permanent 
  Base Cost: 5 to cast, can't be maintained

  Shrink Limb 
   Regular, resisted by HT

  legs to the size of an infant's limb. Arms crippled in this manner are treated as Short Arms and have ST 3.

  Duration of the spell. Shrunken limbs have no effective attack and they cannot be used to wield melee 
  weapons.

  spray, there is no penalty to target the eyes.  
  Base Cost: 3 per dose. For every extra 2 fatigue spent, HT rolls may be made at -1.  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds.  
  Prerequisite s: Magery, Secrete Venom.

  Sticky Fingers 
   Regular 
  This spell makes the palms of the subject's hands slightly sticky, as if they were coated with half-dry rubber 
  cement. This gives +2 to DX to any task that requires a firm grip with the hands, such as holding onto a 
  sword, and gives +1 to any task where the GM rules that the stickiness is an aid, like dealing cards, picking 
  pockets, palming small objects, picking up small objects, or turning the pages of a book. Note that the glue 
  on the subject's fingers is not transferred to any object that the subject touches. Also, the subject can easily 
  release any item they grasp if they wish to do so.

  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Rooted Feet 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Works for wearer only. Cost to Create: 300 points.  
  Sticky Hands 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  For the Duration of the spell, the subject's hands and feet sweat adhesive material at will. If the mage is 
  bare-handed and bare-footed and at least three limbs are in contact with the wall, the effect is as if the mage 
  had the Clinging advantage. If only two bare limbs are in contact with the wall, then the mage has the 
  Clinging advantage, but may only move at half the rate. If only one is in contact with the wall, the mage will 
  not fall, but cannot go anywhere.  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain.

  Stop Growth 
  Regular, resisted by HT

  Aging rolls.

  This spell makes the subject sweat profusely, producing rivers of sweat. Hygiene -conscious folk react to him 
  at -1 and he is a -2 to use skills where a firm grasp is crucial. The subject also becomes thirsty twice as fast.

  more quickly than normal.

  Regular 
  This spell gives the subject Throwing 12 (if he doesn''t have that skill at a higher level) and improves his ST 
  by 2 when calculating the distance he can throw objects and the damage they do.  
  If the subject already has the Throwing skill (or a Thrown Weapon skill) at a higher level, he uses his normal

  Prerequisite : Tanglefoot 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points.  
  Venom Spray 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  The mage may secrete a contact poison as per Secrete Venom, and then spray it as per Spitting Venom. 
  Since the venom created is a contact poison, the venom does not have to strike the target's eyes, ust his 
  bare flesh. This gives the mage +4 to hit.  
  In other respects this spell is like the Spitting Venom spell.  
  Base Cost: 3 per dose. For every 2 extra fatigue spent, the mage can make the poison more 
  powerful. Either HT rolls may be made at -1 or damage can increased by  +1 (every 3 points of extra 
  damage is converted into another die of damage) each time it is taken. The mage may pay even 
  more Fatigue to get both benefits or multiple levels. Can't be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds.  
  Prerequisite s: Magery 2, Spitting Venom.  
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Cost to Create: 450 points.  
  Touch 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  
   61 
  The mage secretes a contact poison onto the palm of one of his hands. Unless the mage is naturally 
  immune, he will quickly take damage from the venom unless he quickly (within 10 seconds) wipes it from his 
  hand. The mage may wipe the venom onto a weapon in 3 seconds.  
  In other respects this spell is identical to the Secrete Venom spell except that only contact poisons may be 
  produced and the mage can't spit the venom. Strength is just as for Secrete Venom: A = 2d, B = 2d-2, C = 
  3d, D = 0, F = 3d, G = 4d (fatigue), H = 4d, J = 3d, K = 0, X = G.M.s discretion.  
  Base Cost: 3 per dose. For every 2 extra fatigue spent, the mage can make the poison more 
  powerful. Either HT rolls may be made at -1 or damage can increased by +1 (every 3 points of extra 
  damage is converted into another die of damage) each time it is taken. The mage may pay even 
  more Fatigue to get both benefits or multiple levels. Can't be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds.  
  Prerequisite s: Magery, Secrete Venom.  
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Cost to Create: 350 points.  
  Warts 
   Regular, Resisted by HT 
  Causes subject to develop a harmless but unsightly skin condition anyplace that the mage specifies. Causes 
  warts, severe acne, large birthmarks, eczema or scarring, as the caster desires. Cancels good appearance, 
  makes bad appearance even worse, to a minimum of Hideous.  
  Duration: 1 day 
  Base Cost: 2 for every -1 reduction of Appearance, half to maintain.  
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create:  400 points. (b) Jewelry. Affects wearer only, 
  reducing their appearance by -2 to levels. Cost to Create: 200 points.  
  Wasting 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell makes the subject gradually waste away. Each week that this spell is in place, the subject must 
  roll vs. HT or lose 10% of his weight. When the subject loses enough weight that he is 10% below his "ideal" 
  body weight, he must roll vs. HT or take the Skinny disadvantage. He must also roll vs. HT or lose 10% 
  (minimum of 1 point) of his ST. Each 10% reduction beyond the first requires another HT roll to avoid losing 
  another 10% of ST, at -2 to HT to resist per 10% reduction.  
  When the victim's weight goes down to 70% of what it should be, he must roll vs. HT or he loses HT in 
  addition to ST! When either the subject's HT or ST reach zero he dies.  
  Fat lost due to this spell vanishes, never to return. ST and HT lost due to this spell return at a rate of 1 point 
  (or each) per week of proper rest, care, and nutrition. 
  In its benevolent form this spell is used as a cure for obesity, however it is just as commonly used for 
  malignant purposes.

  A very handy skin for creatures with skin that must be kept moist, this spell keeps the subject's skin at their 
  preferred level of moisture for the Duration of the spell, preventing damage from exposure to dry air. Attacks 
  that dry out the skin (such as fire) ignore this spell.  
  This is also a Water spell.

  Communication and Empathy Spells 
  This College is actually just a subset of the Mind Control College with some additions from the Colleges of 
  Knowledge and Protection and Warning. In addition to the new spells, I have added some spells from other 
  Colleges of Magic. 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Sense Life - The subject gets a resistance roll (vs. Will) if they know or suspect that this spell is being used 
  against them and they don’t want to be detected. This spell is quite powerful. If the GM feels that it is being 
  abused he can either require that the mage have personal experience with the life to be found (either having 
  seen it or studied it extensively in the past) or he can apply long-range modfiers to the skill roll. 
  Sense Foes - The subject gets a resistance roll (vs. Will) if they know or suspect that this spell is being used 
  against them and they don’t want to be detected. 
  Sense Emotion - The subject gets a resistance roll (vs. Will) if they know or suspect that this spell is being 
  used against them and they don’t want to be detected. If used on an animal this spell will take the place of a 
  successful Animal Handling or Naturalist roll to judge an animal’s mood, drives, and state of mind. 
  Truthsayer - Note that this spell judges the subjective truth. If the subject believes what he is saying to be 
  true (due to misinterpretation or misinformation) then this spell won’t register a lie as a lie. 
  Hide Thoughts - This spell will hide the presence of the subject from all magic or psionic abilities which rely 
  on the ability to detect brain activity. This includes most of the Communication and Empathy and Mind-
  Control spells as well as any other spell which the GM rules works mostly against the subject’s brain or 
  central nervous system. Against psi abilities roll a contest of the caster’s Hide Thoughs spell skill vs. the psi 
  skill of the attac ker. 
  Exorcism - This spell will end possession by extra-planar beings but will not drive them from the mage’s 
  plane of existance. For that, the Banish spell (p. M 65) is required. 
  Lend Language - At the GM’s option the Duration of this spell can be extended to 5 or even 10 minutes. 
  Borrow Language - If the subject is unwilling he gets a resistance roll vs. IQ. At the GM’s option the 
  Duration of this spell can be extended to 5 or even 10 minutes. 
  Lend Skill - This spell cannot be used to improve psi skills. 
  Borrow Skill - This spell cannot be used to improve psi skills. 
  Gift of Tongues - At the GM’s option the Duration of this spell can be extended to 5 or even 10 minutes. If 
  the subject is Deaf or Hard of Hearing, this spell temporarily gives them the Lip Reading and appropriate 
  Sign Language skills at IQ level in addition to other abilities. Subjects who can hear don’t get the Lip 
  Reading skill (unless it is crucial to comprehension of the language), but they do get the Sign Language skill. 
  This spell does not give the subject the ability to hear or see stimuli he can’t normally see. If the subject is 
  attempting to communicate with a truly alien creature which communicates in an odd way, he can interpret 
  the language but he can’t speak it if he doesn’t have the proper speaking apparatus. 
  Gift of Letters - The subject can read braille alphabets or other writing systems which rely on tactile stimuli. 
  At the GM’s option the Duration of this spell can be extended to 5 or even 10 minutes. 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Retrogression - If the mage has previously cast a Mind Search spell on the subject he may specify the 
  event he wants the subject to relive.

  New spells 
  Accent 
   Regular, resisted by IQ 
  The subject speaks with the accent specified by the mage for the Duration of the spell. The quality of the 
  accent depends on the mage’s skill with the language or dialect in question (use the Mimicry skill if no  
  language skill applies). If the mage has no skill in the relevant language or dialect, the accent will be 
  outrageously phony. 
  Depending on the circumstances, this spell can give the subject +1 to language skill to speak a language he 
  is not entirely familiar with, +1 to Bard, Acting, or Performance skill to hold an accent while performing, or +1 
  to Diplomacy or Savoir-Faire. If used in a hostile fashion, it will give -2 to the listed skills. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisi te: Suggestion 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Clothing. 200 to create. (b) Clothing or Jewelry which allows the 
  wearer to speak in one accent. Some versions are Always on and Can’t be removed. 150 to create.  
  Aidbringer 
   Regular 
  When a specific event, or type of event happens to the subject, the subject’s circumstances and location are 
  magically broadcast to any sentient creature (or a certain group or class of people) within 1 mile along with a 
  short mental “plea for help”. The subsequent actions of the people who this message is “broadcast” to 
  depend entirely on their personalities and their perception of the situation. For example, if this spell were 
  used to alert any human within 1 mile that the subject’s wagon had lost a wheel, most people would ignore 
  the message or perhaps mention the fact to a wainwright rather than rushing to the scene themselves. 
  Duration: 1 hour (the “message” lasts about 5 seconds) 
  Base Cost: 2 to cast, 1 to maintain. Each doubling of cost doubles the distance of the broadcast. 
  Prerequisite : Mind Sending 
  Magic Item: Jewelry, Helmet, or Clothing. 
  Works for wearer only. 500 to create.  
  Anticipate 
   Regular 
  Allows subject to anticipate most likely action of a opponent. Gives +1 to rolls to hit or defend in combat and 
  +1 to contests of skill where such information would be useful. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Mind Reading 
  Magic Item: Jewelry, Helmet, or Clothing. Works for wearer only. 2,000 to create.  
  Antipathy 
   Area, resisted by IQ 
  Causes a place or thing to seem unpleasant, ugly, worthless, annoying or otherwise unsatisfactory 
  (immediate reaction roll at -4). People who react badly to a place or thing will leave it or possibly vandalize 
  or destroy it. Even those who react favorably initially, must reroll their reactions (unless they roll a critical 
  success) every 10 minutes that they stay there, until a negative reaction is rolled and they leave. Those who 
  resist the spell ignore its effects. (This spell is different from Avoidance in that the subjects conciously don’t 
  want to be in the area covered by the spell.) 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 1 to maintain. Can be made permanent for 25 times the Base Cost. 
  
   64 
  Prerequisite : Avoidance  
  Borrow Ability (VH)  
   Regular, resisted by Will

  score) or recieve the temporary use of one of the subject’s inate physical advantages.

  Change Script  
   Regular  
  This spell allows the mage to change the style of handwriting or printing on a page The handwriting can be 
  that of another person that the mage is familiar with. A mage with this spell could write a letter, cast Change 
  Script on it, and produce a perfect forgery of someone else’s handwriting! The spell will change the mage’s 
  writing style, but it won’t allow the mage to write in a language he is not familiar with. Unless the mage has 
  several documents in the subject’s hand and at least a day to study them, he cannot emulate that person’s 
  handwriting. If he attempts to do so anyhow, he is at –10 to effective skill. Each subsequent casting of this 
  spell reduces the skill penalty by -1. Anyone who has reason to be suspicious of a document can detect the 
  mage’s forgery if he can win a contest of IQ vs. the mage’s effective skill with the Change Script spell. Any 
  document written or altered using this spell will have a faint aura of magic when a Detect Magic spell is cast. 
  Duration: Permanent. 
  Base Cost: 1 for one word, 2 for a paragraph, and 3 for a whole page. Double cost if the mage did 
  not write the actual document by himself. 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds. 
  Prerequisite s: Magery and Editor. 
  Character Study 
   Information, resisted by Will

  reputation, and close associates as if he had closely observed the subject for two weeks. “Secret” 
  information and memories are not discove red. The spell gives +4 to attempts to mimic or impersonate the 
  subject and might have other uses. 
  Base Cost: 4

  points.  
  Clear Thought  
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the subject to think without prejudices or emotions interfering with his thoughts. 
  
   65 
  This gives +2 to Fright Checks and cancels the effects of Intolerance, Social Stigma, and so forth, though 
  anyone with the Intolerance disadvantage automatically gets a Will roll to resist this spell if it would alter his 
  prejudices. In some cases, this spell will give +1 to IQ to make a rational decision, at the GM’s option. 
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Truthsayer 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry.

  skill.

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry or Clothing. 500 to create.  
  Compromise 
  Regular,resisted by Will 
  This spell must be cast on two or more people who are negotiating or about to enter into negotiations. 
  While this spell is in effect, the parties involved in the negotiation will bargain in good faith, won’t lose their 
  tempers, and will ignore minor issues and insults in an attempt to achieve a negotiated solution. Anyone 
  affected by this spell can ignore negative Reputations, Status, or Social Stigmas when making reaction rolls. 
  They are at +2 to use Diplomacy, Savoir -Faire, Streetwise, Fast Talk, or (out of combat) Body Language 
  skills on anyone affected by this spell. 
  And, any critical failure on those skills is treated as a normal failure as long as either the speaker or the 
  listener is affected by the spell. 
  As a side effect of this spell, people who are under the effects of this spell can recognize other people who 
  are also affected by this spell and people who are not. A person who is under the effects of this spell can 
  react normally towards a person who is not under the effects of the spell, and vice-versa. 
  This is also a Mind Control spell. 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 per person, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Wisdom, Suggestion 
  Item: a) This spell can be permanently cast on an area for 50 times the Base Cost per hex, b) Staff, 
  Wand, or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 350 points.  
  Contrary Message 
   Regular, resisted by Spell 
  When this spell is cast on a written message it magically alters the text so that it is exactly contrary to what 
  the original message said, but is indistinguishable from the original in all other ways. If this is not possible, 
  then the information will be made as contrary as possible. 
  For example, a message which originally read “Send help immediately!” would instead read “All is fine.” A 
  scroll which originally told the reader how to summon a demon would turn into a morally-improving children’s 
  story, a recipe for carrot soup, or a brief summary of the orders of angels. A best-selling thriller would be 
  transformed into a book of academic poetry criticism or something equally dull. 
  If the original text was magical in nature, this spell must overcome the original magic in a contest of spells. 
  Altered messages retain an aura of very faint magic even if they weren’t originally magical. 
  In no case can an altered message be used to glean useful information that the mage didn’t know already. 
  For example, this spell couldn’t be used to transform a magic text on fire magic into a magic text on water 
  magic. Magical writing gets a resistance roll at the skill level of the spell (or the strongest spell if there is 
  more than one). 
  
   66 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 2 per page 
  Prerequisite : Magic Cipher 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry or Clothing. 300 to create. (b) Book or scroll. When placed 
  within six inches of another book or scroll, the enchanted book begins to alter the content of the 
  other book at the rate of one page per minute. 600 to create. 
  Coordinated Attack  
  Regular 
  This spell must be cast on two or more willing subjects one of whom may be the caster. Once cast, it allows 
  the subjects to magically know what the other is doing in combat, as long as they are within 10 hexes of one 
  another. The rapport is so strong that the two fighters can “donate” bonuses from All-Out Attacks, All-Out 
  Defenses, Feints, and martial arts Techniques to each other if the GM rules that the other character is in a 
  position to take advantage of them. 
  For example, a character who is All-Out Defending can “donate” all or part of his +4 to Active Defenses vs. a 
  single blow to his “partner” as long as he is within 1 hex of the partner. 
  Even if they don’t coordinate their attacks and defenses, the fighters know what the other is going to do so 
  they don’t duplicate attacks or get in each other’s way. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. Each additional person beyond the second adds 2 to the Base Cost 
  and 1 to maintain. 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Mind Sending

  resists with the protecting spell's (Encryption or Mage Seal) skill level. 
  Duration: Permanent.

  Time to Cast: 1 minute. 
  Prerequisite s: Encryption. 
  Delirious Speech 
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  When the caster of this spell touches an intelligent creature who is drugged, drunk, sleeping, or otherwise 
  unconscious, the subject must roll vs. Will or begin to babble (a creature feigning unconsciousness will 
  never be affected by the spell). The subject speaks at random, in any language in which he is fluent (skill 
  level 12 or more) on random topics. 
  The subject can hear questions posed to him in a language in which he is fluent, but gets an additional roll 
  vs. Will to avoid giving a coherent answer. If the subject fails his Will roll, he will give a short, coherent 
  answer of what he believes to be the truth, but he cannot give extensive details. Only on a critical success 
  on the spell roll or a critical failure on the Will roll will the subject give detailed information, passwords, 
  codes, or other useful, technical information. One question can be posed and answered per minute of the 
  spell. 
  If the mage doesn’t attempt to ask questions, the subject will murmur in a “stream of consiousness” fashion 
  as if they were talking in their sleep. Topics chosen by the subject depend on what is important or 
  memorable to him and will almost never be put in context. A delirious victim could confuse dreams, bits of 
  religious dogma, rumors, scientific formulas, fairy tales and snippets of fondly remembered nursery rhymes 
  in one long ramble. 
  If the subject is awakened by any means, the spell is automatically broken and the victim will remember 
  what he said while under the influence of the spell. If the victim is not awakened, they must roll vs. 
  IQ to remember being interfered with while they were unconscious.

  Detect Falsehood (VH) 
   Regular, Resisted by IQ 
  Allows caster to determine relative truth of statement made by subject if the answer is knowable by normal 
  investigative techniques. The spell will note omissions, misstatements, distortions and partial truths as the 
  subject speaks them, even if the subject believes them to be the truth. However, the spell will not reveal the 
  nature of the distortion, it will only reveal its presence. Just because the subject doesn’t tell the entire truth 
  doesn’t mean that he knows the entire truth. 
  The spell will not reveal secrets of nature, Things -Man-Was-Not-Meant-To-Know, or Ancient Truths. If 
  “common knowledge” is that the Sun goes around the Earth, then this fact will not register as a lie unless the 
  subject knows the statement to be false. (i.e. the GM can ensure that clever characters don’t abuse this spell 
  to short-circuit adventures or discover the nature of matter, the Philosopher’s Stone, or where missing socks 
  go.)

  Leadership skill vs. the Will of a person he is trying to lead to get them to follow his orders while the spell is 
  in effect.

  name the writer states while writing the document. 
  Erase 
   Regular; Resisted by Spell 
  Removes writings from a moderate-length scroll or one or two pages of text (up to 500 words). If the writing 
  is non-magical a successful spell roll will automatically erase the writing. If the writing is magical it is resisted 
  by the skill of the written spell. 
  The mage can erase less than 500 words if he wishes, but he can’t selectively remove words within a 
  sentence without recasting the spell. Furthermore, partial omissions will create obvious blank spaces in the 
  document. 
  This is also a Making and Breaking spell.

  First Impressions 
   Regular 
  First Impressions gives the caster a bonus on their reaction roll upon initially meeting a single individual or a 
  collective group of people. However, the reaction will not be raised to extraordinary levels by this spell. 
  Rather, the spell bottoms out at Good-Normal, G.M.s decision as to what that actually is in a given case. 
  Hence, the jailer might not let you out, but will stop the other prisoners from lynching you, the merchant won't 
  give you the goods, but will sell to you at a good price, the king won't give you half his kingdom, but reacts to 
  you about as well as he ever reacts to one of your status. And the Devil will still spit you on his pitchfork. 
  The GM must decide what the best outcome the character might expect from the encounter and determine 
  the NPCs reactions accordingly. This spell cannot be resisted, nor can it be changed once the spell wears 
  off (unless the character does something to alter the subject’s opinion of him). 
  Base Cost: 3, cannot be maintained. 
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Prerequisite s: Magery, Charm, 3 other Mind Control Spells. 
  Forsooth 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  The subject speaks in an elaborate, extremely courteous, old-fashioned form of his native language for the 
  Duration of the spell. For example, a speaker of modern English might speak in Shakespearean iambic 
  pentameter or the most formal type of Victorian address. 
  In most cases, this spell makes the subject seem peculiar and affected. This gives him -1 to reactions from 
  most people and -2 to reactions from rough-hewn folks and other people who have no use for such sissified 
  language. It also gives -1 to Diplomacy and Fast-Talk rolls, and -2 to Performance and Acting rolls, unless 
  the subject is trying to speak in an elaborate and old-fashioned way, then he gets +4 to his skill rolls. 
  
   69 
  Also, since most people aren’t used to old- fashioned, elaborate forms of speech, they must make an IQ roll 
  to interpret the subject’s meaning. The subject knows what he is saying as long as the spell is in effect, but it 
  doesn’t give him any special ability to understand other people under the influence of this spell. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Suggestion 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Clothing. 200 to create. (b) Clothing or Jewelry which allows the 
  wearer to speak “forsoothly” all the time. Some are Always On, and Can’t Be Removed. 150 to 
  create.  
  Foulmouth 
   Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This is the opposite of the Forsooth spell. The subject liberally laces his normal conversation with the 
  crudest metaphors and most foul and elaborate curses imaginable. 
  This gives him -2 to reactions from most people, and gives -2 or more to skills such as Diplomacy, Fast-Talk, 
  Savoir-Faire, Sex Appeal, Performance, Acting, and Bard. However, among foul- mouthed characters, this 
  spell allows the subject to blend right in! 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Suggestion 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Clothing. 200 to create. (b) Clothing or Jewelry which allows the 
  wearer to speak crudely all the time. Always on. Can’t be removed. 150 to create. 
  Fraudulent Hand 
   Regular 
  With this spell, the wizard is able to perfectly duplicate any style of handwriting of which he has a sizable 
  sample. The forgery is good enough to fool even the closest inspection, although it does radiate faint magic 
  and can be detected by magic. This gives +4 to all Forgery skill rolls if the mage actually has the Forgery 
  skill and gives him a temporary Forgery skill of 10 if he does not. Note that the ability to perfectly duplicate 
  handwriting does not constitute the whole of the Forgery skill only part of it. 
  Depending on the type of writing to be done, the mage will be able to produce at most 1 page of writing per 
  minute. Complex forgeries done on the spur of the moment will take much longer. 
  Duration: 1 minute (Effects are permanent.)

  Gem Write 
   Special 
  This spell empowers a gem with the ability to store within its structure written information of any kind - 
  except magic spells. Each casting of this spell allows a gem to store one page of material. The information 
  encoded is permanent, however, all information in a gem is lost if the gem is destroyed or if the magic is 
  dispelled. 
  If the gem is damaged or altered in any way, roll vs. the Gem Write spell skill of the mage who enchanted 
  the gem. If the roll fails all the information is lost, otherwise the loss of information is only proportional to the 
  amount of damage or alteration to the gem. Attempting to cut the gem into two or more smaller gems 
  automatically destroys the information. 
  Information can be “encoded” in a gem by passing the gem over the pages (or whatever) to be encoded or 
  by speaking into it. Pictures can be encoded, but each picture counts as a page of text. 
  Any mage can add pages of material to a previously enchanted gem (even if they didn’t enchant it), 
  however, the maximum amount of information which can be stored on a gem is 100 pages per karat. 
  Pages can be erased by use of this spell or by use of the Erase spell. 
  Unlike damage to the gem, unless the mage specifically makes text

  wise or trustworthy than he really is. People affected by the spell react to the subject with a modifier to their 
  reactions. Those who see through the spell react normally or at a minus depending on what the caster would 
  have had them believe.

  to alter or destroy the Indelible area, that person must win a contest of Will or spell skills (whichever is worse 
  for the destroyer) vs. the Indelible spell skill of the mage. If the destroyer loses the contest of skills, the fails 
  to obliterate the protected area.  
  Note that this spell only protects the words or symbols themselves. For example, if a vandal were to attempt 
  to mark out words in a book or cut out a picture then he would fail. If he were to burn the entire book, the 
  parts of the book which didn’t have letters or illustrations on them would be obliterated, leaving behind a 
  mass of jumbled, charred letters and disjointed pictures which would effectively be unusable as an 
  information source.

  appear under the light of the full moon, or when the message is illuminated by sunlight at noon on the day of 
  the winter solstice. The wizard can’t specify light conditions such as “when my apprentice’s shadow falls on 
  the message.” unless there was something inherently unique about the apprentice’s shadow to begin with. 
  The message will not appear until the conditions specified are met, then it will become visible (glowing faintly 
  if necessary to make it visible) until the light conditions specified vanish (but at least one minute in any 
  case). Then the spell will cease.  
  Magery or spells like Detect Magic will detect the presence of magic but will not be able to determine the 
  nature of message. Spells like Codebreaker will allow the mage to know under what conditions the writing 
  will become visible, but won’t reveal the message. 
  The mage can cancel the spell at any time. 
  Erase spells will destroy the message if the caster of the Erase spell wins a contest of skills.

  Oathbinding 
   Regular 
  A spell that seals and magically enforces an oath. Two or more parties swear to a pact, which can be of any 
  length and contain any mutually agreeable conditions. These conditions may be so complicated as to 
  comprise full-scale legal contracts, but the entire set of terms must be spoken aloud before the caster. Any 
  party breaking the oath takes 1-1 damage for every 2 fatigue invested (up to 5 dice of damage). When 
  judging violation of the oath, the determining factor is whether the caster’s perception of the terms of the was 
  broken or not. 
  It does not matter if the oath is taken under duress. However, each party must verbally avow that the oath is 
  being sworn willingly. Casting time equals the time required to swear the oath (and is simultaneous with the 
  oathtaking), Duration is until the oath is fulfilled, broken, or until the death of one of the principals or parties. 
  The death of the caster does not negate the spell. If the strictures of the vow are not fully understood by the 
  caster (as in the case of a complex contract), he is at -5 to cast the spell. Further, if the spell fails by 1-5, 
  neither the principals nor the caster are made aware of the spell’s failure.

  Duration: Permanent, until oath is fulfilled or ends

  Old Native Hand 
   Regular 
  This spell temporarily gives the mage a skill of 12 in the local form of either Streetwise, Savoir-Faire, or 
  Diplomacy, gives him a skill of 10 in one language skill, and alters his habits, dress, and accent so that he 
  can “pass for native” (or at least a well-assimilated foriegner) in a foriegn country. 
  If the subject already has the relevant skills at 13 or better, then this spell prevents him from rolling a critical 
  failure due to lack of knowledge of the local customs. 
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 5, 3 to maintain.

  Parrot 
   Regular,resisted by IQ 
  This spell is very similar to the Suggestion spell, except that doesn’t act on the suggestions, but he does 
  believe that they are true, and, if necessary, he will repeat something the mage says to him. 
  In order for this spell to work, the mage must be within 2 hexes of the subject, and the mage must quietly 
  speak or whisper a statement to the subject. If the subject fails his resistance roll, he will believe that 
  statement to be true, and will repeat the statement aloud if the mage wishes. However, the victim will take 
  no other action besides agreeing with the mage and vocalizing whatever the mage wants him to say. 
  For example, a shopkeeper could be made to believe that the mage had already paid for an item, and the 
  mage could get the shopkeeper to say aloud “You already paid for that.” but he couldn’t be commanded to 
  empty his cash drawer into the mage’s purse because that would require a physical action.

  Phantasmal Warrior

  Creates a phantasmal creature whose appearance is drawn from the subject’s greatest fears. 
  The phantasmal warrior has ST, DX, IQ and HT of 12 and has an attack skill of 16 in weapons skills that the 
  subject has. PD and DR are equal to that of the subject and the Warrior will be armed with weapons similar 
  to those carried by the subject. When it is called into being, the warrior will immediately to attack the subject 
  and will continue to attack in the most intelligent and direct fashion possible until it, or the subject is killed or 
  rendered unconscious. 
  Only the subject can see the form of the phantasmal warrior - to all others it appears as a shadowy shape 
  that is immune to all harm. However, the actions of the victim are real. The subject might accidently strike a 
  friend in his attempts to kill the phantom! 
  When the phantom is first called into existance, the subject must make a Fright Check at -4. Regardless of 
  the results of the Fright Check, the subject may make an attempt to disbelieve (and dispel) the warrior, but 
  at a penalty equal to the amount by which he failed his Fright Check. 
  While all damage from the Phantasmal Warrior feels physical (doing normal Stun and crippling damage) it is 
  actually taken to Will. When Will reaches 0, the subject will fall unconscious. Will will return at a rate of one 
  point every two hours. “Crippled” limbs will recover immediately when the victim wakes up.

  Plane Speech (VH) 
   Regular 
  The ultimate communication spell, this casting allows the mage to speak to any one subject personally 
  known to the mage irregardless of where or when that person is. This speech is one way unless the person 
  the mage is talking to wishes to cast the Plane Speech spell themselves so they can communicated with the 
  mage. 
  This spell will allow a person to speak to people across a continent, on a different planet, 100 years in the 
  future, or on a different plane. However, unless the subject recognizes the mage’s voice or was expecting a 
  message (or isn’t distracted by something else at the time), the subject might assume that the mage’s voice 
  is a hallucination, a dream, or a hoax. 
  The mage can talk to his “past” self, or a “parallel self” on a different timeline, but in no case can the “other 
  self” act on information provided by the mage so the mage can “talk to himself” to alter his future. (Or rather, 
  he can, but then he makes the timeline diverge and his altered self goes off into a different timeline.) Since 
  communication is one-way, the mage can talk to a “future” version of himself, but it won’t do him, or his 
  future self any good.  
  This is also a Gate spell.

  anyone within earshot (about 5 hexes unless the mage wishes otherwisse). The maximum range between 
  the transmitter and the reciever depends on the energy used to power the spell. 
  This spell can be used in a number of ways. 
  The transmitter can be hidden, and the mage (or someone else) can retain the reciever, allowing him to 
  eavesdrop on conversations or detect enemies at a distance. Or, the mage can retain the transmitter and

  When this magical rune is tattooed on his body, the subject can use the Psionic Telesend and Telerecieve 
  Powers (Power 12, Skill 12) to communicate with others who also have this tattoo. The user can 
  communicate with anyone he can name (or a group of people) just by speaking their name and touching the 
  tattoo. 
  It costs 1 Fatigue point to activate the tattoo per person included in the conversation and the user must 
  make a Telesend skill roll to do so. However, it costs nothing to active the Telerecieve power. It costs an 
  additional point of fatigue for every minute of conversation. However, if they wish, those people using 
  telerecieve can "pay" for this additional time. 
  However, unlike normal Telepathy, the subject can only "read" surface thoughts. He cannot enter Full 
  Communion or Gestalt with the people he is speaking to, nor can he communicate or recieve thoughts if the 
  person he wishes to "speak" to doesn't want to speak to him. 
  Communication is normally private, however those people with Magery, Second Sight, or Awareness, may 
  roll vs. Hearing plus any levels of Magery to "listen in" on the conversation, if they are close to one of the 
  people involved in the communication. Each hex of distance from the "speaker" gives -1 to their roll.

  capture when he casts the spell. 
  When he “plays back” thoughts, the mage will “read” them at 4 times the normal rate, and can “fast forward” 
  through the times when nobody was in the area. Since each individual has a unique “signature” the mage 
  will be able to determine whose thoughts are whose even though many people might have been thinking in 
  the area at the same time.  
  Duration: 12 hours 
  Base Cost: 4, same to maintain. An area can be a permanent “thought trap” for 50 times the Base 
  Cost.

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points. 
  Two Key Code 
  Enchantment 
  This spell allows a mage to encrypt one or more pages of text using two key words. When the first key word 
  is spoken, the contents are rendered illegible even to the caster. When the second keyword is spoken, either 
  
   83 
  by the caster or by some other person, the text is returned to its normal state. Attempts to read the 
  encrypted document by non-magical means will automatically fail. Attempts to magically read the writing are 
  treated as a contest of skills between the skill of the mage’s Magic Code skill and the skill level of the mage 
  who is casting the deciphering spell. If the subject is present, at the mage’s discretion, the subject can 
  “think” the second keyword, making it unknown even to the mage (unless mind control magics are used). In 
  all other cases, the mage determines both keywords and gives one of them to the subject(s) who are to read 
  his messages. 
  If the encrypting mage makes his skill roll but loses the contest of skill or if the decrypting mage fails his skill 
  roll but wins the contest of skills, the documents are magically erased rather than being read. 
  If the encrypting mage wins the contest of skills does the text remain safe and secure. Only if the decrypting 
  mage makes his skill roll and wins the contest of skills is the text decrypted successfully. 
  Duration: Permanent

  Wizard Mark 
   Regular 
  Leaves the caster’s personal rune inscribed on the wall as well as up to six additional characters. The mark 
  can either be invisible or engraved into the wall (decided when the spell is cast). If the spell is invisible, 
  Magery will detect the spell (but not its form) and an Identify Magic or Analyze Magic spell will enable a 
  person to read the rune and characters.

  used to cast other spells (such as the Inscribe Rune spell).

  Optional Spells for Learning Magic 
  These spells allow magic spells to be learned very quickly. You may have some difficulties when introducing 
  these spells. They could make the College of Communication/Empathy very popular. High skill levels can 
  also cause difficulties by dropping the casting time. But even with these potential difficulties, I think these 
  spells are sufficiently balanced so they will not break any campaign.  
  Learn Spell 
  Regular  
  Allows the caster to learn all the necessary information to cast a spell the subject knows. The caster must 
  have a character point available to learn the spell or this spell fails. The caster must also know all the

   84 
  a day is missed, the spell must be started over from the beginning. Roll for success each day. A failure adds 
  another day to the casting time. The subject must be willing to teach. 
  Time to cast: 10 hours/day for 8 days.

  College of Dream Magic 
  This college is a subset of Communication and Empathy magic. If the GM mages these spells their own 
  subcollege, then the Dream Viewing, Dream Sending and Dream Projection spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  should be considered part of this subcollege. 
  Dream magics are generally cast when the caster is asleep or just before he goes to bed. Unlike other spells 
  they can be cast while the caster is asleep. 
  Casters who go unconcious due to wounds or Fatigue not related to sleep cannot cast Dream spells.

  Dream Rider 
   Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This spell allows the mage to enter another person’s dream and modify it as he sees fit. If other creatures (or 
  other persons under the influence of the Dream Rider spell) are in the dream the mage can interact with 
  them normally, however violent or unsettling interactions might require the dreamer to make a Fright Check. 
  
   87 
  Unwilling dreamers can attempt a roll vs. IQ to expel a dream rider from their dream, but they must be 
  dreaming lucidly in order to do so. 
  Note that the mage can only cast this spell if he is alseep himself. If he makes his Lucid Dreaming skill roll or 
  if he casts the Dream spell on himself before he goes to sleep, then he can cast this spell in his sleep. If he 
  isn’t dreaming lucidly at the time, then he must have the Dream Rider spell skill at 20 or more so he can cast 
  it unconsciously. 
  Also, a mage who is dream -riding takes time from his own dreams to enter other people’s dreams. 
  Normally, this isn’t a problem due to the subjective time of the dream world, but the the mage spends more 
  than 4 hours of real time per night in other people’s dreams then he loses Fatigue as if he only got a half-
  night of sleep. 
  Duration: 4 hours, or until the subject wakes. 
  Base Cost: 2, same to maintain. 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Dream 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or clothing. Allows the wearer to cast this spell. 100 each to create.  
  Dream Travel 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the subject to travel to a dream world appropriate to the campaign (this could be something 
  like the Dreamlands of the Cthulhu mythos, the Dream Time of the Australian Aborigines, the Land of Nod, 
  or something else entirely). What the subject does there, how time passes in relation to the passage of time 
  in the real world, and how the dream world affects the subject’s waking life, is entirely up to the GM. The 
  subject must be alsleep for this spell to work. 
  Duration: 8 hours, or until the subject awakes. 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Dream 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Works for wearer only. 250 to create.  
  Shape Dream (VH) 
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  This is a more powerful and more subtle version of the Control Dream spell. It allows the mage to “guide” the 
  subject’s dreams, not controlling them in an obvious way, but still making the dream go in the direction that 
  the mage wishes the dream to go while giving the subject the impression that all is normal. 
  In the Dreamland (or a similar situation) this spell becomes very powerful, since it allows the mage to shape 
  the nature of the Dreamland itself. The mage can us e this spell to shape terrain, control the way in which 
  space and time flow. Depending on the situation and the amount of change desired, the GM should assign 
  skill penalties similar to those used for the Gate or Move Terrain spells. 
  Changes to the Dreamland become permanent unless some other mage changes them in a different way. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 2 per hex 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Control Dream 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. 500 to create.

  Enchantment Spells  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Scroll - At the G.M.s option this spell can be used to enchant any object with a "one use" spell which can be 
  used by anyone. Magic Item: Metal Tablet inscribed with a single spell. Allows anyone who reads it to cast 
  the spell at normal energy cost. 1,500 points plus the cost of enchanting the other spell. Such items are 
  extremely rare.  
  Limit - This spell can also be used to only allow an item to be used in certain locations or circumstances. 
  For example, an item can be limited so that it only works underg round, or within the Great Temple of Set, or 
  only under the light of a starry sky.  
  Powerstone - At the G.M.'s option this spell can be used to enchant any sort of mana collector. Such items 
  must always have a high intrinsic equivalent to that of the gems used to make powerstones.  
  Crystal Ball - At the G.M.'s option this spell can be used to enchant any permanent divination device. Like a 
  crystal ball, the device must have a high intrinsic value due to materials and craftsmanship. Costs are halved 
  if the device is non-portable, like a reflecting pool or a sacred chamber.  
  Staff - The G.M. may extend the definition of a "staff" to cover any vaguely rod-like instrument. A warrior 
  mage's sword might be his "staff" as might a modern wizard's umbrella or rifle! If the staff is also an effective 
  weapon (like the sword or rifle in the above example) double the enchantment costs.  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire  
  Spellstone - Any valuable, expendable item can be used for this enchantment.  
  Malefice - Any traditional "curse" material can serve as the basis for this spell.  
  Ensorcel - This spell will permanently cast any spell on a person.  
  Weapon Spirit - This spell is also a Necromantic spell

  Automaton 
   Enchantment 
  This spell is similar to the Golem spell, but it allows the caster to magically animate all sorts of clockwork 
  constructions, limited only by the caster's ingenuity. Automations must be capable of some motion, but the 
  Create Automaton allows the creatio n to become more than mere clockwork. In other respects, this spell is 
  like the Golem spell. (The Tin Man from Wizard of Oz was an automaton, as was Herbie the VW Beetle in 
  the "Herbie" movies.)  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 10 points per character point in attributes, advantages, and skills. 5 points for every 
  point of disadvantages or quirks. Minimum of 50 points.  
  Prerequisites: Golem, Mechanic (Automatons) 12+  
  
   89 
  Bind Powerstone (VH) 
   Enchantment 
  This spell binds a powerstone to a person’s body, turning the powerstone into a “dedicated” powerstone for 
  that person. Once placed the stone can’t be removed without either killing the user or destroying the stone.  
  If the user is killed, any looters must make a skill roll vs. 
  Thaumaturgy or Surgery skill in order to remove the powerstone without destroying it. As long as the user is 
  alive, the powerstone can’t be removed without destroying it. Powerstones can be targeted at –10 to hit (as 
  long as they are visible). They have PD 1, DR 5, and take 10 Hits to destroy.  
  When the user recovers magical fatigue, the stone recovers mana first at its usual rate. However, once the 
  stone is emplaced, it prevents the wearer from regaining mana until it is fully recharged. However, mages 
  can use the Recover Strength spell to speed the recharge rate of the stone, just as if they were recovering 
  their own Fatigue.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 500 points per point of mana in the powerstone 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Enchantment, Powerstone, Recover Strength  
  Binding 
   Enchantment 
  Magically combines two or more things into a single unit, effectively letting two or more objects occupy the 
  same space at one time. 
  Useful for magically combining the properties of two items into one. The exact effects are up to the GM.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 100 per pound of material to be bound 
  Prerequisite : Magery  
  Cloning (VH) 
  Enchantment 
  This spell creates a duplicate of the subject which is identical to the original subject in all respects. The 
  clones may be made loyal to the original subject, the caster, or can be made free- willed as the caster 
  wishes.  
  The GM should make sure that any character who uses this spell to create a horde of allies pays the price of 
  the Ally or Ally group.  
  The clones are created wreathed in simple illusions which mimic the subject's possessions, though they 
  serve no other purpose, and can be discarded at the clone's will (as the clone may have real clothes or the 
  like available). Due to the mental overlap of the clones with the subject, while any are within 10 hexes of the 
  original, all attempts by the subject to use magic or psi to "see" through the clone's senses (such as the 
  Rider Within spell) or to control the clone are at +4 to succeed.  
  Base Cost: 5,000, plus 10 points per character point of attributes, advantages, etc. of the original 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, 10 Body Control spells, 10 Animal Spells  
  Collect 
  Enchantment 
  This is another variant on the Cornucopia spell. An object enchanted with the Collect spell tends to "collect" 
  items of a certain type which are within 1 hex of it. For example, a quiver could be made to “collect” arrows, 
  a scabbard could be made to “collect” a sword, or a pouch could be made to “collect” coins.  
  When the container is placed in the presence of a type of item it “collects” the item will magically appear in 
  the container. If the “collectable” item belongs to someone else, the container must make a “skill roll” based 
  on the Collect spell skill of the mage who enchanted the item. This roll is at -2 to -4 if the item is in a 
  container, and is at -6 if the item is actively being used. If the spell works, the way in which the object 
  appears can be as subtle or as ostentatious as the enchanter wishes.  
  Base Cost: 250 points 
  Prerequisite : Cornucopia, Select  
  Contract 
  Regular 
  
   90 
  This spell can only be cast in the presence of two willing parties one of whom may be the mage. When the 
  spell is cast, the parties must mutually agree to terms of a prearranged contract and mutually agree on 
  penalties to be borne if one or both parties fail to live up to the terms of the contract. Any penalties agreed 
  upon must be real penalties and they must be possible to enforce. For example, "If I break the pact, I won't 
  be able to fly", would not be a valid penalty unless the subject were normally able to fly. "If I break the 
  contract, I will pay 100 marks of silver a day." wouldn't be a valid penalty unless the subject were fabulously 
  rich and actually could get his hands on that sort of money. 
  Ethical mages will generally refuse to allow any conditions which result in permanent physical harm to either 
  party.  
  If at any time in the future, either party breaks the contract, the penalties agreed to will immediately occur 
  unless the other party voluntarily agrees to release the person who violated the agreement.  
  Duration: Permanent (until broken)  
  Base Cost: 100 points, plus the cost to enchant the spells to be enacted. If the penalties can't be 
  specifically described, the GM should base the cost of the spells on the nearest similar spell.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Oathbinder  
  Create Focus 
   Enchantment 
  A focus is an item which the mage can use to assist in the casting of spells or which he can cast spells 
  through. If powerstones are added to it, it can also act as a reservoir of energy dedicated to casting spells 
  (or a certain type of spell).  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 100 for +1 to one spell, 1000 for +1 to one College of Spells, 10000 for +1 to All Spells, 
  multiply costs by 5 for a +2 bonus, multiply them by 15 for a +3 bonus. The item used as a focus 
  must weigh at least 1 ounce for every 100 points of mana used to enchant it.  
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Powerstone  
  Create Life (VH) 
  Enchantment 
  Allows the mage to create the body, mind and soul of a whole new creature or even a whole new species. 
  The exact specifics of the creature a described by the mage during the enchantment. In game terms, the 
  player and the GM create a new character or species, with the GM having final say over what is, or isn't 
  possible for the mage. When the spell is finished, the creature comes into being as an infant (or whatever 
  the immature form is) and must be trained like a child.  
  Base Cost: 10,000, plus 10 points per character point of attributes, advantages, etc. of the new 
  species.  
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Cloning  
  Disenchantment (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by skill 
  This spell makes a Magic Item completely non-magical. The spell is treated as a contest of skills between 
  the highest skill level used to make a Magic Item and the skill level of the caster (and any assistants) 
  attempting to disenchant the item.  
  However, each enchantment placed on the item gives -2 to skill to disenchant the item. Items with Limit, 
  Password, or Self-Destruct spells on them are at -5 to disenchant (-5 to skill per enchantment).  
  The mage must touch the item in order to disenchant it.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 25 points 
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Enchantment, 6 other Enchantment spells.  
  Magic Item: Wand, Staff, or Jewelry. Mage Only. Must touch the item to be affected. Energy Cost: 
  10,000 to create.  
  Durability 
   Enchantment 
  
   91 
  This enchantment makes a Magic Item more resistant to damage than it normally would be. Note 
  that garments with this enchantment don't stop blows any better than normal, but they wouldn't be at 
  all damaged or stained by the effects of weapon blows.  
  Base Cost: 50 points per extra HP given to an item. (Double this for items that are expected to take 
  a lot of heavy use, like bank vault doors, shields, armor, or weapons)  
  Prerequisite : Fortify  
  Enchant Book 
   Enchantment 
  This spell prepares book to receive magic spells, making it suitable for use as a grimoire. It also 
  imbues each spell in the book with magical energy, allowing a spell to be cast by reading aloud from 
  the book. Spells read from a Grimoire do not require the Magery advantage or even knowledge of 
  the spell spoken. The skill level of the spell is that of the original writer. However, there is a -4 
  penalty if the reader of the book doesn't have magery, and a further -1 penalty for every 
  Prerequisite  spell the reader doesn't have (to a maximum of -10 points).  
  Base Cost: 1000, plus 100 times Base Cost of each spell to be written in the book.  
  Prerequisite : Scroll  
  Extradimensional Space 
   Enchantment 
  Allows the mage to create a "pocket dimension" whose only entrance corresponds to a certain location (or 
  object) in this universe. Typically this entrance takes the form of a well-disguised door or a large piece of 
  furniture, though it could be a bag or even a pocket. This space lasts until the "door" is destroyed, and then it 
  winks out of existence taking all its contents with it.  
  The extradimensional space is assumed to automatically have a temperature and atmosphere that is 
  comfortable to the caster, irregardless of the conditions outside the "door", but air in the space is finite 
  unless replenished by magic or by opening the "door" to a source of air (like the outside world). If the caster 
  wants to change the properties of the extradimensional space, he will have to use magic to change them.  
  Duration: Permanent (until "door" destroyed)  
  Base Cost: 10 per cubic foot of space (or fraction thereof) created (minimum of 50 points). Each 
  foot of cubic space can "absorb" a maximum of 50 lbs. of material. Extra weight capacity requires 10 
  extra points per 50 extra pounds. The caster can permanently put certain enchantments on the 
  "door", the space, and/or the item associated with the door at the regular cost. Double cost again if 
  objects in the extradimensional space have no mass in this one.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Hideaway  
  Find Familiar 
  Special 
  Calls to the caster an animal who will then become the caster's familiar. The spell must be maintained for up 
  to 18 (3d6) additional hours before the caster knows if was successful or not. The caster cannot specify the 
  type of animal summoned. This spell may only be attempted once per year.  
  [This spell is a standard of Dungeons and Dragons type fantasy games. In GURPS, Familiars are treated as 
  an advantage, so this spell isn't learned normally. Any mage with a Familiar and the appropriate Prerequisite 
  spell automatically has the Find Familiar spell at skill level 12. Any attempt to cast this spell will automatically 
  fail unless the caster has the points to buy the Familiar advantage. Points spent learning the Find Familiar 
  spell, automatically count towards the cost of buying the Familiar advantage.] 
  Time to Cast: 2 hours 
  Duration: 2 hours 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 1 to maintain, for double the cost the caster can specify the type of familiar he 
  wants.  
  Prerequisite : Beast Summoning 
  Handy Item  
  Enchantment 
  This spell allows an item to be found instantly in a pack. pocket, or pouch and halves the amount of time it 
  takes to put the item on or take it off. If cast on a weapon or similar object, it gives +5 to Fast-Draw skill.  
  
   92 
  Base Cost: 100 per pound of item (minimum of 100)  
  Prerequisite : Enchantment  
  Intelligent Item 
   Enchantment 
  An item with this spell on it has a certain amount of intelligence, self-awareness, and self- preservation. This 
  doesn't mean that the item can take independent action or even communicate, since the item might not be 
  able to speak or move around, but generally, it's an advantage.  
  Base Cost: 100 per character point of attributes, advantages, skills and powers possessed by the 
  item. If the GM feels that the personality of the item would make the item harder to use (like a sword 
  inhabited by a demon which attempted to get the user to hurt and slay at every opportunity), then he 
  can rule that this spell is a limiting enchantment which reduces the cost of the item by up to 50%.  
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Dancing Weapon  
  Interference 
  Enchantment 
  This dubious enchantment makes a weapon, shield or other tool harder to use, so that it actually subtracts 
  from the user’s skill.  
  Each casting of this spell reduces the user’s relevant skill by 1 point when using the cursed tool. For 
  example, a warrior’s Broadsword skill would be reduced by 2 when using a sword with two levels of the 
  Interference spell cast on it.  
  Base Cost: 50 points 
  Prerequisites: Enchant, Malefice  
  Magic Paint 
  Enchantment 
  Creates a magic paint, which turns the color the painter wishes it to turn to on command. Furthermore any 
  object painted with it to become real and three dimensional. Pictures of living creatures turn into statues of 
  living creatures, though plants created are alive. Items created are perfectly ordinary and non-valuable. For 
  example, if a pile of gems were painted, they would turn into glass gems rather than real ones. Pictures of 
  buildings or interior spaces turn into real buildings or spaces only if there is sufficient space for them to really 
  exist, and they must be drawn life-size to be of any use. (Otherwise they're just models or doll houses).  
  Base Cost: 1000 for enough paint to cover a 6' x 6' area 
  Prerequisite : Create Item  
  Permanence (VH) 
   Enchantment 
  Similar to Enchantment, this spell allows the mage to make spells cast on individuals permanent.  
  Any Regular spell can be made Permanent on an individual for 100 times the Base Cost of the spell. Area 
  spells can be made permanent on an area for 100 times the Base Cost to cast that spell on the desired 
  area.  
  The mage can grant a person the ability to cast a spell at will (like a magical knack) for 200 times the Base 
  Cost to cast the spell, however, the skill level of the subject is that of the mage -5, and it can never be 
  improved.  
  This spell is very powerful and is prone to abuse. Its use should be severely limited by the GM.  
  The method for making a spell permanent is just like the method used to enchant an item, however, the 
  Permanence spell is used instead of the Enchant spell, and both the mage and the subject must be present 
  for the entire process, however, only the mage’s Fatigue can be used to power the Permanence process. If 
  the mage is casting Permanence on himself, he must roll at -3.  
  When the final point of energy is put into the spell, the mage must roll vs. his spell skill. On a failure, both the 
  mage and the subject must roll vs. HT or take 2d6 points of damage and they must both make a Fright 
  Check at -5 to Will. On a Critical Failure, both the mage and the subject must roll vs. HT-3 or take 4d6 points 
  of damage and they must both roll a Fright Check at Will-15!

  Enchant Puppet 
  Enchantment 
  Allows the caster to create a "voodoo doll" which represents a real person. The caster can then cast spells 
  on the doll which affect the person, ignoring long -range or visibility modifiers. In addition, the caster can stick 
  pins into the doll which affect the subject as if the caster had cast the Spasm spell on him.  
  In order to create the doll, the caster must have some piece of the victim's body, typically something like a 
  lock of hair or the victim's fingernail parings.  
  Base Cost: 500, 1 point to cast "Spasm" through the doll.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Enchant, Spasm, Animation, 5 Necromantic spells  
  Quintessence 
   Enchantment 
  This odd spell allows the mage to "distill" the "essence" of a certain abstract or concrete idea into a tangible 
  form. This mostly has magical and alchemical purposes, but the GM might rule that quintessences have 
  effects like spells, drugs, or dreams. For example, quintessence of fear might cause anyone who ingests it 
  to take a severe fright check. 
  Quintessence of joy could be a powerfully addictive (but harmless) drug. 
  Quintessence of cat might give the user intense and deep understanding of what it is to be a cat, rather like 
  a hallucinogenic drug might seem to do.  
  Base Cost: 25 points per "dose" for common quintessences, 100 for uncommon ones, and up to 
  10000 for extremely rare or difficult to obtain ones (like quintessence of unicorn)  
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, 10 Mind Control and/or Communication and Empathy Spells, Alchemy 13+  
  Retribution 
   Regular 
  This spell allows the caster to "self-destruct" utterly destroying himself, but also damaging or killing anything 
  around him. It is cast in advance, and lasts as long as the mage lives, though he can voluntarily cancel the 
  spell at any time.  
  When the caster dies, or when he triggers the spell, his body explodes. This does 20d6 points of damage to 
  any creature within 1 hex of the mage (creatures actually in contact with the mage take double damage). 
  Creatures 2 or 3 hexes from the mage take 10d6, creatures 4 to 6 hexes away take 5d6, creatures 7 to 12 
  hexes from the mage take 2d6, and creatures up to 24 hexes from the mage take 1d6 points of damage. 
  Armor and cover protect normally, though spells protecting against fire and the like do not. The energy 
  released is partially magical and partially physical, so Force Domes and Utter Domes don't protect. 
  Structures in the area of effect are also affected by the blast.  
  Base Cost: 100 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2,  
  Curse Sanctum  
   Area 
  This spell creates an area permanently aspected to the casting of magic of a certain college. Unlike the 
  Focus or Dedication spells, it can be used by any wizard and doesn't affect the casting of other types of 
  spells.  
  Base Cost: 500 per hex for +1 bonus, 1000 for +2 bonus, 2000 for +3 bonus 
  Prerequisite : Restore Mana.  
  Soul Binder 
   Enchantment, resisted by Will 
  Bind is a wicked spell which permanently traps the mind of an intelligent being into an item. Unlike the Soul 
  Item spell, the victim need not be willing, though he must be present. Unlike the Soul Jar spell, the victim 
  can never leave.  
  In order for the spell to work, the victim must be present, though not necessarily conscious while the 
  enchantment is being cast. When the spell is cast, the victim rolls a contest of Will vs. the enchanter’s Bind 
  spell skill. For every 100 points of ex tra energy put into the spell, the mage gets +1 to his effective skill, for 
  purposes of overcoming the victim’s Will.  
  
   94 
  If the spell fails normally, the victim resists being bound, though he might not be able to escape. On a critical 
  spell failure, the mage can never attempt to bind that subject again, in addition to any other bad effects.  
  If the spell is successful, then the subject’s intellect is magically transferred into the item, leaving his body 
  behind as a mindless shell. Unless the mage has cast other spells which allow the subject to talk and use 
  his senses, the subject is completely reliant on magic or psionics to interact with the world.  
  If the subject has a spell at 20 or more so that he can cast it without words or gestures, then he can cast it 
  from the item. His fatigue pool for spell- casting purposes is the same as he had in life, plus any mana he 
  might get from Powerstones which are attached to the item. 
  Psionics work normally. Note however that unless the item the victim is bound into has spells that allow the 
  inmate to sense the world around him, all spell or psionics use is effectively blind (-5 for area spells, -10 for 
  missile spells).  
  The victim gets the PD, DR, and HP of the item and does not age while bound, however, if the item is 
  broken or destroyed (reduced to 0 HP) then the victim dies when the item is broken.  
  However, if the subject’s body is still alive and present, and there is a mage who is capable of casting the 
  Soul Jar spell, then the victim gets one chance at -5 to HT to reoccupy his body if his prison is broken.  
  Being bound into an item is a terrifying experience. The subject must make a Fright Check at -10 when he is 
  first bound, and he must make a normal Fright Check once every week thereafter because of the continuous 
  sensory deprivation. If the victim has some way to communicate with the world (even if it is one way 
  communication) he gets +3 to Fright Checks. 
  For each sense that he has in his item form he gets an additional +1. If he can hold normal conversations, 
  then he gets an additional +5.  
  Base Cost: 1,000 points, every 100 points of energy beyond the minimum gives the mage +1 to skill 
  in the contest of Will vs. skill.  
  Prerequisite : Magery 3, Enchant, Malefice, Weapon Self, Soul Item.  
  Suspend Enchantment Missile 
   Missile 
  As the Suspend Enchantment spell, but it can be cast as a missile and has an even shorter Duration. 
  Successful use of this spell allows one enchantment (of the caster's choice) to be temporarily remove d from 
  a Magic Item. The missile has SS 12, Acc +3, Max 30. Hit location modifiers apply to hit a small target.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 8 points, can't be maintained 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Suspend Enchantment 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Clothing. 2,500 to create. Usable only by a mage.  
  Take Creation 
   Enchantment, Resisted by Spell and Will 
  This spell allows the caster to take over magical creature made by another mage. It is expensive and hard to 
  pull off, especially if the other mage is actively resisting. An attempt to take over a creation (such as a 
  golem) from another mage is treated as a contest of the attacking mage's Take Creation skill, plus any 
  energy he put into the spell, and the defending mage's skill in the spell which created the construct. If the 
  opposing mage is alive and conscious, he can also add his Will to his skill score.  
  Duration: Permanent (if successful)  
  Base Cost: Cost of the Creation, each 5% over the Base Cost to create gives +1 to skill.  
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Golem, appropriate Creation spell.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Clothing. $,000 to create. Usable only by a mage.  
  Tattoo Object 
   Enchantment 
  This spell converts a single, real object into a tattoo of a picture of an item on the subject's body. When a 
  command word is spoken the item springs into being, ending the spell. Optionally, this spell can be made 
  permanent so that when the user is finished with the item, it reverts to tattoo form. Magic Items can be 
  converted to tattoos, but can't be used while in tattoo form. The mage must have the item to be converted 
  into a tattoo when he casts the spell and the subject must be present and willing to receive the spell.  
  
   95 
  Base Cost: 3 per pound of object for a single use. Objects can be turned into permanent tattoos for 
  20 points per pound of material.  
  Prerequisite : Create Object, Sheath  
  Temporary Enchantment  
   Enchantment 
  This spell lets the enchanter create Magic Items that will function only a certain number of times before 
  losing their enchantment. 
  The energy savings is substantial for a low number of uses, but reduces as the number of uses increases. 
  The cost to temporarily enchant an item is a percentage of the normal enchantment cost, and can be 
  derived from the formula P = Uses / (Uses + 6)]. Thus, the cost to enchant an item for only one use is 1/7, or 
  14%, of the normal enchantment cost. The cost to enchant an item for 50 uses is 50/56, or 89%, of the 
  normal enchantment cost. Temporary Enchantment is used in place of the Enchant spell, and is otherwise 
  identical to that spell. However, Temporary Enchantment cannot be used with any spells from the 
  Enchantment college or Meta-Spell college except the following: Speed, Power, Hex, Limit, Name, Link. It 
  can never be used to reduce the cost of enchantments that are already limited (e.g., Skull Spirit).  
  Duration: Until the item's uses have run out.  
  Base Cost: Determined by the specific spell and the number of uses.  
  Time to Cast: Determined by the specific spell and the number of uses.  
  Prerequisites: Enchant 
  Toy Soldiers 
  Enchantment 
  This spell causes miniature figures of soldiers to become full size warriors under the wizard's command. In 
  order to cast this spell, the mage must have at least one miniature of a soldier made from metal, clay or 
  wood. The enchanted figure is magicked so that on a word of command, it will grow to life. When the mage 
  speaks another word of command, the figures will all revert to their miniature, non -living forms.  
  The soldier has ST 12, DX 10, IQ 10, HT 10, one weapon skill at 12, and Tactics skill 10. He will be armed 
  with whatever armor and weapons are on the miniature, but the weapons and armor will be non-magical 
  unless they are specially enchanted. Armor will never offer better protection than plate armor (PD 2, DR 5). 
  At the GM's high tech mages can enchant figures with better weapons and armor, but never better than the 
  mage's tech level. Also, at the GM's option, non-human figures with magical or special abilities can be 
  enchanted. In this case, any special abilities must be enchanted into the soldier. Enchanted miniatures can 
  be verbally commanded by the mage and can be controlled like any other creation.  
  Soldiers "killed" while in animated form are destroyed and vanish. 
  Wounded soldiers magically heal damage at the rate of 1 point per hour after they are miniaturized. 
  However, missing limbs are not regenerated unless the mage casts the appropriate healing spells. Lost or 
  expended items are magically renewed after 24 hours.  
  Base Cost: 1,000 plus the cost of any additional enchantments 
  Prerequisite : Create Warrior, Flesh to Stone, Stone to Flesh, Shrink, Create Object.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Clothing. $,000 to create. Usable only by a mage.  
  Transfer Enchantment (VH) 
   Enchantment 
  This powerful enchantment allows the mage to transfer one or more enchantments from one Magic Item to 
  another. It is generally used to allow a mage to enchant items with spells he doesn’t know. 
  If the mage doesn’t know the spell to be transferred, he gets -5 to his skill, if he is completely unfamiliar with 
  the college the spell is from, he is at - 10 to his skill. If a Magic Item has a Password, Link, or Self-Destruct 
  enchantment on it then the mage is at an additional - 3 to skill.  
  Each spell to be transferred requires a separate casting of this spell, and any failure, even a normal failure 
  completely destroys the item.  
  Base Cost: 100 points plus 10% of the cost to place the original enchantment.  
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Enchant, Remove Enchantment.  
  Unpower 
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  
   96 
  Releases stored magical energy in a Magic Item or powerstone. If the owner of the item is nearby, the spell 
  is resisted by his Will. If there is no owner, or the owner is more than 10 hexes away, assume that the item 
  has an effective "Will" of 1 for every 2 charges it has, to a maximum "Will" of 15.  
  Duration: Permanent (until recharged)

  Wereshape (VH) 
  Enchantment 
  The subject of this spell must roll vs. HT or be permanently afflicted with a Wereform until a counterspell or 
  the Remove Wereform spell is cast. The victim must be present while the spell is cast but need not be willing 
  or even aware of the spell. However, the mage must actually touch the subject. Unsuspecting victims will 
  become aware of their condition when the wereform manifests itself (usually on the next full moon). If the 
  subject is willing and/or the were form works out to be a net advantage, the character must apply future 
  earned character points to buying off the cost of the advantage. If the wereform is a net disadvantage, the 
  character gets no extra points because of his disadvantage. Each different type of Were shape must be 
  learned as a separate spell.  
  Base Cost: 100 points 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Cure Weresickness, 3 Shapeshifting spells.  
  Weapon Enchantments  
  Arrow Fission 
   Regular 
  When Arrow Fission is cast on an arrow (or similar missile), the arrow becomes a swarm of arrows. The 
  central arrow is still aimed at it's original target, while the created arrows around it fly at the hexes around 
  the target of the original arrow, landing one per hex in hexes adjacent to the target.  
  The created arrows will hit whatever is in that hex on a 9 or less, or effective skill of 9 minus any penalties to 
  hit, whichever is worse. They may be blocked or dodged like normal arrows. If they strike they will have the 
  same velocity and mass as the original missile and do the same basic damage (e.g. 1d). If they hit, roll 
  randomly for where they strike. Once the created arrows do their damage they vanish.  
  G.M.s in high tech campaigns can charge extra fatigue to cast this spell on missiles fired from High Tech 
  Weapons. It is suggested that fatigue costs be doubled for every 3d of basic damage a missile does. 
  (This allows small caliber rounds to be multiplied at low cost while still keeping characters from multiplying 
  artillery barrages.)  
  This is also a Making and Breaking spell.  
  Base Cost: 2, plus 1 for each additional arrow.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Enchant, Cornucopia, Repair Arrow

  successful hit strikes the equivalent location on the back of the target (or the front if the user is striking from 
  the rear). In addition to possibly surprising the target, the blow might hit the foe's thinner back armor. 
  Backstabbing weapons can be blocked but at -4 to skill. This feature can be instantly cancelled by the user if 
  he wishes to target a location on the front of the target's body. 
  Hit locations on the target's back can be targeted at -4 to hit (since the attacker can't see the target) in 
  addition to normal hit penalties.  
  Duration: 10 seconds

  Time to Cast: 5 seconds (Permanent spells must be cast as enchantments)

  Targeted Missile 
   Regular 
  This spell gives +4 to hit with one specific missile, however, the target (and the specific part targeted) must 
  be specified before the spell is cast and the magic is lost if the missile is not aimed at the specified target. 
  For example, an arrow enchanted to seek "The elf's eye." would not get the bonus to hit unless the bowman 
  firing the missile specifically was trying to hit the elf's eyes, even if the bowman was firing at the victim's 
  head.  
  Note that the mage cannot enchant missiles in advance to be aimed at "generic" targets (such as "orcs", or 
  even "Kraal's Palace Guard"), each missile must be magicked in the presence of the target and must be 
  designated for a specific target (such as "the big orc with one eye", or "the short, blonde guard on the left").

  Armor Enchantments  
  Comfort 
   Enchantment 
  Allows even the bulkiest and hottest armor to be worn comfortably, irregardless of the weather. A piece of 
  armor with this enchantment on it remains comfortable from 0 degrees F to 120 degrees F and has the 
  same comfort, breathability, and sweat absorbing qualities as a clean cotton t-shirt. Note that weight and 
  damage absor bing qualities are not affected, nor is the wearer immune to the effects of extreme

   Enchantment

   101 
  Prerequisites: Enchant, Malefice  
  Sealed Armor  
  Enchantment 
  This spell allows armor to seamlessly cover an entire hit location. A full suit of armor will have the same PD 
  and DR over the entire body without any seams, openings or weak spots. This limits or defeats the effects of 
  some sorts of attacks.  
  The wearer can breathe normally and is vulnerable to gas attacks. 
  However, his eyes are protected by the seal.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 500 per hit location, 1,000 for the face and/ or head, 5,000 for the whole body.  
  Prerequisite : Fortify  
  Traitorous Shield 
  Enchantment 
  This spell makes a shield or armor less protective. Each casting of this enchantment reduces the PD of a

  Base Cost: 50 points 
  Prerequisites: Enchant, Malefice  
  Limiting Enchantments  
  Dedication 
   Enchantment 
  Similar to the Bane spell. Dedicates a place or thing to specific cause or purpose or allows it to be used at a 
  certain time, which makes it more effective when dealing with the purpose it was designed for, but limits the 
  item in other ways. For example, an area of ground which was dedicated to casting Fire spells might give 
  the caster +1 to skill for fire related spells, but -1 to all other types of spells. A hammer dedicated to armoring 
  would give +1 to the Armoring skill, but couldn't be used for any other craft. A knife dedicated to an "evil" 
  religion might give +2 to Necromantic spells cast during the solstices and equinoxes.  
  In other respects this spell is exactly like the Bane spell.  
  Base Cost: 100 (or 100 per hex if cast on an area)  
  Prerequisite : Bane  
  Ego 
   Enchantment 
  Any item with this spell on it has a strong sense of self-preservation, strong opinions, and/or an agenda. In 
  GURPS terms, the item has at least -30 points in Fanaticism, Intolerance, Megalomania, Obsessions, Codes 
  of Honor, and/or Vows.  
  Anyone who carries the item for more than a few minutes must roll vs. Will or start to be influenced by the 
  "vibrations" that the item gives off. (If the item is Intelligent, treat this as a contest of Wills). 
  Anyone actually using the item must roll vs. Will-2. If the Will check is made, the bearer/user keeps his own 
  personality. If he fails, he is temporarily influenced by the Magic Item. A normal failure of Will results in one 
  or more of the item's "traits" manifesting itself in the character as a quirk. A critical failure means that the 
  character temporarily picks up one or more of the "traits". A contest of Wills is made once per day, whenever 
  the character picks up or uses the item, or whenever the user's ethics and the ethics of the item  come into 
  conflict.. It is a common trait of "egoed" Magic Items that they insist on being carried about and used at 
  every opportunity! Another trait is an insistence that they be cared for extremely well.  
  At the end of every month, the character must make a roll vs. Will or permanently pick up one of the item's 
  traits. (Again, a normal failure means a quirk, a critical failure means a full disadvantage.) If a character 
  already has all the item's traits at quirk level, then subsequent failures result in the quirk turning into a full 
  disadvantage.  
  Once all the item's disadvantages are "absorbed" the character's Will starts to become more and more 
  linked to the Magic Item. In game terms, this means that a character who fails a Will check starts to lose Will 
  
   102 
  to the item, so the character suffers from one or more levels of Weak Will (or reduced Strong Will) if he 
  doesn't have the item on or near his body. Eventually, the character becomes a servant of the item.  
  The GM can decide that if the character didn't use the item very much (or at all) he can forgo the monthly (or 
  daily) Will check.  
  Base Cost: 100, cost of other spells is reduced by 25% for every -25 points of "Ego" disadvantages 
  the item has, up to 50%, -50 points.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Intelligence. 
  Self-Destruct 
   Enchantment 
  When this spell is placed on a Magic Item, it will crumble into dust when certain conditions, specified by the 
  enchanter when the device is made, are fulfilled. Once the Self-Destruct spell is put in place, it is extremely 
  difficult to remove. Attempts to use the Remove Enchantment skill are at -5 to succeed.  
  Base Cost: 50 points 
  Prerequisites: Enchant, Ruin, Limit  
  Wizard's Tool Enchantments  
  Death Harvest  
   Enchantment,resisted by IQ+Magery. 
  This spell may be cast on any living creature. When the creature dies, its life energy will flow into a specific 
  receptor of magical energy (such as a Powerstone or Enchanter's Mould, or some other spell). If the subject 
  is sacrificed to provide mana or is otherwise killed by magic draining (such as by the Steal Health spell), no 
  mana is transferred.  
  Each casting of the spell will allow a mage to release and channel 1 potential mana point from the subject, 
  up to a maximum of the subject's HT x Magery (Magery 0 gives 1/2 HTand No Magery gives 1/4). However, 
  when the subject dies, the actual amount of energy which is channelled into the collector is reduced by the 
  distance between where the subject and the collector, as follows:  
  • 
  Less than 100 yards: no reduction 
  • 
  Up to half a mile: 1/2 energy  
  • 
  Up to a mile: 1/3 energy 
  • 
  Up to 3 miles: 1/4 energy 
  • 
  Up to 6 miles: 1/8 energy  
  Each additional doubling of range halves the amount of energy which is channelled into the receptor.  
  If the spell subject is on another plane when he dies, the modified amount of energy his body can contribute 
  is halved again. It is quartered if the plane that he is on is somehow hostile or cut off from his home plane.  
  This spell is detectable by the Aura spell and can be removed by Remove Curse or a counterspell.  
  If the subject is in a No Mana Zone when he dies, no mana is released into the pool unless the mage who 
  cast spell can win a contest of skill vs. the "skill level" of the No Mana Zone (usually 12).  
  The mana gained from this spell cannot go directly to the mage or to another person. It must be directed to 
  some sort of non-living mana-collector. If the amount of energy released by this spell exceeds the storage 
  capacity of the collector, excess mana is lost. Also, large amounts of mana flowing into the storage device at 
  once might "crack" the storage device. For every 10% more mana than the storage device can hold in a 
  single "surge", the storage device must make a resistance roll (equal to the spell skill of the mage who cast 
  the appropriate enchantment on it) or else it will crack.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 5 points per point of potential mana. Every 5 points of additional skill reduces the Base 
  Cost minimum of 1 point per point of potential mana.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute per point of fatigue spent 
  Magic Item: a) Any item. When used or worn by the subject, the item will attempt cast this spell on 
  him once per day, at the mage's skill level. If the spell works, the subject's mana will be directed into 
  a collector specified by the mage when the spell is cast.. Energy Cost: 500 points. b) Clothing or 
  Jewelry. When the person wearing the item dies, 1 mana point is directed to a collector specified by 
  the mage when the spell is cast.. Energy Cost: 250 points, plus 10 points per point of mana gained, 
  up to the maximum amount of mana that the creature could normally release. c) Weapon or other 
  
   103 
  item used to kill people. When this item is used to kill someone, before they die they must make a 
  resistance roll or be affected by this spell. Energy Cost: 500 points plus 20 points per point of mana 
  gained, up to the maximum amount that the creature could normally release. If the weapon can only 
  be used on a certain person or type of person, the energy cost is 300 points, plus 10 points per point 
  of mana gained. d) Area. Anyone who dies within the area must make a resistance roll or release 1 
  point of mana into a collector specified by the mage when the spell is cast. Energy Cost: 500 points 
  per hex point of mana gained, up to the maximum amount that the creature could normally release. 
  Anyone who passes through this area must make a resistance roll or have this spell cast on them. If 
  the area only "steal" the mana of a certain person or type of person, the energy cost is 250 per point 
  of mana gained.  
  Divination Device 
  Enchantment 
  This spell is identical to the Crystal Ball spell, but it allows other divinations devices, like tarot cards, rune 
  sticks, or a Ouiji Board to be enchanted. - like crystal ball, but for rune sticks, tarot cards etc.  
  Base Cost: 1,000 for +1, 5,000 for +2 to Divination spells 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Divination  
  Enchanter’s Carpet (VH)  
   Enchantment 
  This spell is identical to the Enchanter’s Workbench spell, except that it can be cast on a moveable item! 
  The object to be enchanted with this spell must be a flat, sturdy item large enough to completely surround  
  the object to be enchanted, and it must be completely enchanted. It does not have to be resistant to wear, 
  damage or dirt, but if the item is severely worn, damaged or destroyed, it will lose its powers, so prudent 
  mages generally incorporate various protective spells into the finished carpet. Because of this, many mages 
  cast the “Enchanter’s Carpet” spell on solid, but moveable items, such as tables.  
  Enchanter's Carpets aspected to a single college are possible for ½ the cost of a normal workbench. 
  However, in order to be effective, the “carpet” must be made from materials which are strongly associated 
  with that college (i.e. a table made from living wood for plant spells or a rug woven from the hair of various 
  sorts of animals for animal spells).  
  Like powerstones, Enchanter's Carpets must be at least 10 hexes apart from the outer edge of their 
  radiuses. They will not work if placed in the area of effect of an Enchanter’s Workbench or if they are taken 
  into a No Mana Zone.  
  Base Cost: The costs are as follows:

  Prerequisite : Magery 3, Enchanter’s Workbench, 5 other Enchantment spells. 
  Enchanter's Mould (VH) 
   Enchantment 
  This spell allows you to create a "mould" which allows you to channel mana to a specific enchantment. Once 
  the mould has been placed, the mage does not need to tend to his enchantment, unless he wishes to cast a 
  different spell on the item.  
  The energy cost for the "mould" is 10% of the total cost of all the spells to be enchanted into the item and all 
  the spells used to power the enchantment. A mage must also pay 2 points of mana for every point of mana 
  to be channeled into the spell per week.  
  In addition, in order to cast this spell, the mage must roll vs.all the spells to be used in the enchantment at -5 
  to skill. Failure to cast any spell correctly disrupts all the other spells and forces the mage to recast them. A 
  
   104 
  critical failure has terrible results, the least of which is the complete destruction of the item to be enchanted. 
  Critical success allows the mage to enchant the mould for 5% of the total energy cost of the spells involved.  
  Once the mould is created, it will automatically receive power from any source of mana which is "dedicated" 
  to it, such as Powerstones, the Draw Power spell or Death's Harvest (q.v.). Subsequent sources of mana 
  can be dedicated to the mould for 10% of the cost of the new spell. 
  When the enchantment is completed, the Enchanter's Mould spell ends and any links to sources of mana 
  are broken. Excess mana is lost. If the mage wishes, the various "powering" spells can be automatically 
  turned off when the Enchanter's Mould spell ends.  
  If this spell is used to power an ongoing spell, the mage must cast the spell to be powered as an 
  enchantment and then create the mould and permanently dedicate some source of mana to that spell. Once 
  the spell has been made "self-powering" and has absorbed enough mana to become "active" (i.e. fully 
  enchanted), the spell effects are permanent and independent. The mage does not have to pay for any of the 
  spells as an "on" spell, and if necessary the spells "attack" and "defend" at the skill level used to cast them. 
  The only way to "turn off" such a spell is to deprive it of the magical energy that powers it and then cast a 
  counterspell on the Guide Mana enchantment.  
  Excess mana directed into the mould might "burn it out" destroying the item and ending the spells used to 
  power the enchantment. The mage must roll vs. his Enchanter's Mould skill at -1 for every 10% increase in 
  mana over the "basic" energy flow into the mould. See the Surge Protector spell.  
  A mage can only have one "channel" in use at any one time (though he can create any number of self-
  powered moulds, see above). This channel can only be directed to a single mould, which can contain no 
  more than one item to be enchanted. The mould itself must be a heavy, relatively immobile item which 
  weighs at least 200 lbs. like an altar, anvil, or crucible.  
  Duration: Until the enchanted item is finished.  
  Base Cost 10% of all spells used to enchant the item and to power the enchantment, plus 2 points 
  for every point of mana to be channelled into the mould per week.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Maintain Spell, Powerstone, Link 
  Enchanter's Workbench 
   Area 
  Each level of this spell allows the enchanter mage to add one additional point per day into a slow and sure 
  enchantment by focusing and refining mana into enchantment form. However, the total amount of energy put 
  into an enchantment per day may not exceed the lesser of the enchanter's Enchant skill or his skill with the 
  spell being enchanted into the item. The enchanter(s) must pay the extra points each day either from his 
  (their) own fatigue or from powerstones.  
  The area of the Enchanter's Workbench must be large enough to completely surround the object to be 
  enchanted; thus enchanted daggers or wands are easier to make than enchanted halberds or staves. This 
  enchantment effects an area and is not mobile, see the Enchanter’s Carpet spell for a mobile version of this 
  spell.  
  Like many other enchantments, the level of a workbench can be increased at a later time. The Enchanter's 
  Workbench cannot be used to speed the enchanting of itself or of any other Enchanter's Workbench. The 
  Workbench will only aid in the enchantment of one item at a time.  
  Since any mage can use an Enchanter’s Workbench, once it is created, and since the workbench can’t be 
  moved, prudent mages will protect their benches from hostile mages. Wars have been fought over the 
  possession of powerful workbenches!  
  Enchanter's Workbenches aspected to a single college are possible for ½ the cost of a normal workbench. 
  However, in order to be effective, they must be near an area which strongly represents that college (i.e. in 
  the middle of a large graveyard for necromantic workbenches, or next to a volcano for Earth or Fire 
  workbenches).  
  Like powerstones, Enchanter's Workbenches must be at least 10 hexes apart from the outer edge of their 
  radiuses.

  Essential Powerstone 
   Enchantment 
  This spell is like the Powerstone spell, except that gems enc hanted with this spell become nearly the 
  magical essence of magic itself making them much more efficient and far more dangerous to make and use.  
  Essential Powerstones work as non- exclusive “exclusive” powerstones. A 1 point Essential Powerstone 
  provides 3 points of energy for spell casting. A "dedicated" 1 pt. Essential Powerstone would provide 6 
  points.; and an "exclusive" 1 point. Essential Powerstone would provide a whopping 9 points.  
  Recharge times, warps, and quirks are all as for standard powerstones, however Essential Powerstones are 
  harder to enchant. Any failure while enchanting an Essential Powerstone destroys the stone. A critical failure 
  destroys the stone and releases a surge of magical energy causing something very bad to happen. The GM 
  should use the Backfire table as a guide, but the effect should be something seriously disturbing or 
  dangerous.  
  Example: Bob has a 4 point Essential Powerstone. He can tap it for 12 points when spell casting. If fully 
  depleted, the stone will take 4 days to fully recharge.  
  Base Cost for each casting: 50  
  Prerequisites: Magery 3, Powerstone, Charge Powerstone, Recover Strength 
  Focus 
   Enchantment 
  This spell creates a focus which aids in the casting of a certain spell or college of spells.  
  Base Cost: 250 for +1 to cast a single spell, 500 for +2 to cast a single spell, 1,500 for +3 to cast a 
  single spell. 2,500 for +1 to all spells of a single college, 5,000 for +2 to all spells of a single college, 
  20,000 for +3 to all spells of single college.  
  Prerequisite : Bane  
  Magic Candle 
   Enchantment 
  (Defaults to Candle Magic-5)  
  Binds a magic spell or alchemical elixir into a candle or stick of incense, allowing the effects of the spell or 
  elixir to be slowly released as the candle or incense is burned during a Candle Magic ritual (see Candle 
  Magic, in the Metaspells section.)  
  Various sorts of candles may be made, as follows:  
  Red: Passion, fire, science, knowledge 
  Blue:water, mystery, wisdom, shaping, destiny 
  Brown: earth, death-rebirth, growth  
  Green: life, healing, money, fertility 
  Orange: healing 
  Black: protection, destruction 
  White: purity, light 
  Yellow: air, intellect, philosophy, knowledge, vision 
  Violet: psychic powers  
  Each candle must be specifically attuned to it's intended use, and charged with power. Thus, a red candle 
  could be charged with fire, or passion, or science, for a specific use, and would be powerless before being 
  charged.  
  Unlike other enchantments, any result will produce a usable candle, failure will produce candles which give a 
  penalty to spell casting and critical failures will produce candles which produce the opposite of their intended 
  effect. It is impossible to determine the qualities of a candle until it is actually put to use.  
  The default "1 charge" candle is a 6" tall, 1/2" diameter beeswax taper candle. Larger candles can hold more 
  charges, but require multiple castings. Each "charge" requires the equivalent of a 6" tall by 1/2" diameter 
  
   106 
  candle. Candles made from inferior materials give penalties to skill rolls. A paraffin candle gives -1 to skill, a 
  tallow candle gives -3 to skill.  
  Optionally, a spell or alchemical elixir can be bound into a candle, allowing its effects to be released as the 
  candle burns. Such candles can't be used for candle magic rituals but can be used by people who don't 
  have the Candle Magic skill.  
  Duration: Variable. (a candle lasts 1d6 minutes per "charge" put into it.)  
  Base Cost: 1 point per "charge" given to the candle. The type of "charge" must be specified before 
  casting and the color of the candle must correspond to the type of charge desired. If a spell or elixir 
  is bound into a candle, the spell must be cast for each "charge" the candle has.Elixirs bound into a 
  candle require 3 "charges" to bind into the candle.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute  
  Magic Mirror 
   Enchantment  
  Used in the divination spell crystal gazing. In all other respects the magic mirror created is identical to a 
  crystal ball.  
  Base cost to create: 1,000 
  Prerequisite : Divination (Crystal-gazing) Mana Collector   Enchantment 
  This spell is identical to the Powerstone spell, but it allows any item to become a mana collection device. 
  Any solid object can be used as a mana collector, but it must have approximately $10,000 worth of value for 
  every point of mana it can hold, to a maximum of 10 points of mana, and $50,000 worth of value for every 
  additional point of mana to a maximum of 20 points.  
  Base Cost: 50 per casting 
  Prerequisite: Powerstone  
  Powerstone Matrix 
   Enchantment 
  A Powerstone Matrix is a huge pentagram with a Powerstone located at the junction of each line in the star. 
  This combination creates an area where tremendous magical energies can be channelled and stored.  
  In order for a Powerstone to recharge, it must be at least 6 feet away from every other Powerstone. So, for 
  the Powerstone Matrix to recharge, each of the ten stones must be at least 6 feet away from each other, so 
  the matrix must be at least 18 feet across.  
  The Powerstones in the Matrix must match each other in power and they must be flawless. (So a matrix 
  could be made up of all 1 point stones, or all 2 point stones and so on, but it couldn’t be a mix of some 1 
  point stones, some 2 point stones, etc.) In addition, the powerstones must all be made from the same sort of 
  gems. The pentagram itself must be carved into a solid surface. (Optionally, the GM can place other 
  requirements on the Matrix, such as requiring that the pentagram be inlaid with precious metals and/or that 
  the segments of the pentagram be painted with special magical paints, each of which has different 
  ingredients and magical properties.)  
  The Powerstones are a permanent part of the Matrix. The removal of even one of the stones destroys the 
  matrix's power. All the Powerstones revert back into separate stones. However, they all loose one point of 
  strength. (i.e., 5 point stones become 4 point stones). 
  Powerstones in a Powerstone Matrix recharge as if they were in a high-mana zone(1 point every 12 hours) 
  regardless of the surrounding mana level.  
  Two or more mages can cooperate to enchant a Matrix, up to 12 mages maximum. However, if any of the 
  mages involved in the original circle dies, the enchantment dies with him and the matrix must be re-
  enchanted. Only one mage can use the Matrix at a time, but all the mages who cooperated to make the 
  matrix must be present when it is in use.  
  The advantage of the Powerstone Matrix is that it allows mages to pool their own power with the power of 
  some or all of the Powerstones in the Matrix. The stones are considered to be “semi- dedicated” 
  Powerstones allowing each stone to give 2 points of mana for each point of energy it has. In addition, the 
  mages assisting with the enchantment can use the Transfer Power spell to further increase the central 
  mage’s power. The central mage can draw all this power into himself and can add his own mana to cast 
  powerful enchantments very quickly or to quickly enchant Magic Items.  
  The danger of a Powerstone Matrix is that if the mage casting the spell critically fails his spell roll, powerful 
  and dangerous backfires are likely. At the very least every mage in the circle will suffer results of a critical 
  
   107 
  failure (with the caster getting a result ten times worse than his collegues), at worst world- altering events 
  could occur, the GM should decide exactly what happens based on the type of spell the circle is trying to 
  cast and the amount of power they were drawing. Working with a Powerstone Matrix is very dangerous.  
  Base Cost: 10,000 points 
  Prerequisites: Enchant, Power, Powerstone, Password 
  Surge Protector 
   Enchantment 
  This spell is cast on magical storage device such as powerstones, Enchanter's Crucibles, etc. in order to 
  keep large surges of magic from destroying the device. Large, sudden flows of mana might destroy a 
  collection device. For every 10% increase in magical energy over what the device can hold, the item must 
  make a Resistance roll (at -1 per every 10% of excess) equal to the skill level of the mage who originally 
  cast the enchanting spell.  
  This spell may be cast on the underlying enchantment when that spell is first cast or else it may be added to 
  a mana collection device at a later time.  
  Duration: Permanent or until the underlying enchantment ends.  
  Base Cost: 1 per 5 points of mana protection. Every 5 levels of skill doubles the amount of mana 
  protection, but the Base Cost to cast the spell remains unchanged.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute per point of fatigue.  
  Prerequisites: Enchantment  
  Speed Recharge Rate (V/H) 
   Enchantment 
  This is like the Regain Strength spell for Magic Items and powerstones. This spell is very risky, since any 
  failure destroys the device and the spell can't be added to items after they're made.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1,0000 for a 25% reduction in charging time, 50,000 for a 50% reduction in charging 
  time.

  Food Spells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Seek Food - The mage can specify what sort of food he is looking for.  
  Decay (Food) - Food destroyed by means of this spell is thoroughly ruined. It will smell and look terrible and 
  will cause anyone who tastes it to suffer as if Retch spell had been cast on them unless they have the Cast 
  Iron Stomach advantage.  
  Purify Food - For double cost decayed portions of spoiled food are not removed but are instead returned to 
  a wholesome state.  
  Poison Food - Purify Food will cancel this spell without destroying the poisoned portions.  
  Cooking - For double cost any recipe that the mage knows of, no matter how fancy, can be created as long 
  as he has the proper ingredients.  
  Create Food - Cost is 1 per meal if the material was previously edible or was closely associated with 
  something edible (e.g. bones, wheat straw, spoiled food). For 5 points per meal metallic items can be made 
  edible, but they taste horrible. Unwholesome material (including poison) can be made safe to eat using this 
  spell but it tastes terrible. An object which is turned into food doesn't change its properties in any way except 
  that a person can chew and digest it - clubs still work as clubs, rocks still hurt if you throw them.  
  Ferment - This spell can also be used on milk to make yogurt, cheese, kumiss and the like. Honey can be 
  turned into mead. Pure, high-quality fruit juice becomes fruit wine. Diluted fruit juice becomes "coolers" or 
  slightly fizzy fruit-juice with mild alcoholic kick. Grains become beer or ale. Sugar-water becomes a sticky 
  sweet "wine" which can be distilled into pure alcohol. Other foods which rely on long-term chemical or 
  bacterial action such as vinegar, gefilte fish, kim-chee, or Tabasco sauce can be created using this spell. 
  Distilled liquor or wine can be "aged" for about 3 months per application of this spell. In all cases, the quality 
  of the beverage depends on the Cooking or Brewing skill of the mage and the quality of the ingredients he 
  has on hand. You can't get good booze if you don't have good ingredients and a decent recipe.  
  Distill - This spell can be used to remove water from any food leaving behind a more potent residue, cane 
  syrup can be turned into syrup, maple sap can be turned into maple syrup, soft-cheese can be turned into 
  hard cheese, fruit can be dried and so forth. The quality of the resulting brew depends on the cooking or 
  Distilling skill of the mage and the quality of the original liquor. This spell is also a Water spell. It is the 
  weaker version of the Destroy Water spell.  
  Water to Wine  - If cast on low-quality wine or unfermented beverages this spell turns them into high quality 
  wine

  The mage may drink human blood and retain it. When the mage casts the spell, no more than 5 minutes 
  prior to drinking, they will be able to drink one HT worth of blood for every three points by which they make 
  their skill roll.  
  The mage may consume and retain up to their own HT in blood. At any time, the mage may use up 1 HT of 
  blood in order to replace a meal and/or a drink. In any case, the mage will lose a 1 HT worth of blood a day. 
  Animal blood is not as nourishing as human blood. If animal blood is drunk, 2 HT worth of it must be spent in 
  order to replace a meal and/or a drink and 2 HT worth will be lost every day. 
  The spell does not provide the mage with fangs or any other way of getting the blood - it just allows them to 
  drink, retain and consume it.  
  This is also a Necromantic spell.  
  Base Cost: 1 per 2 HT of blood drunk.  
  Duration: Special 
  Time to Cast: 10 Seconds.

  Bottle 
   
   Regular 
  This spell automatically takes food from a common pot, portions it out into glass or tin containers (mage’s 
  choice of shape and type), sterilizes the containers, and seals them allowing the mage to quickly preserve 
  food for later use.  
  If necessary, this spell will create the appropriate sort of containers, however, the mage must expend more 
  energy to create them.  
  Duration: Permanent.  
  Base Cost: 1 quart of food to be prepared. For 2 points extra, the mage can create appropriate 
  bottle, jar, or can for the food.  
  Prerequisite : Portion, Cook. Shape Earth and Shape Metal is required if the mage wishes to create 
  his own bottles or cans.

  drink placed into this container will automatically be bottled or canned as the mage desires. Energy 
  Cost: 250 points.  
  Bottomless Cup 
   Regular 
  When this spell is cast on a cup full of drink or a plate of food, more food or drink of that same type appears 
  when the container is almost empty until the subject has eaten or drunk his fill.  
  The food or drink created is no better than what was originally there, but it is available in seemingly endless 
  amounts. However, in order for the spell to work, there must be some food or drink in the container when the 
  spell is cast.  
  Duration: 2 hours.

  A mage who contains blood acquired using the Blood Bank spell may use it instead of fatigue at a rate of 
  one point per HT of human blood, and one point per 2 HT of animal blood.  
  
   110 
  This destroys any blood so used. This spell is cast at the same time as the spell it is to power, although the 
  mage will not know for sure how much power will be available at the time of the casting. The amount of 
  fatigue available will be one point for every three points by which the mage makes his roll.  
  The procedure for using Blood Burn is as follows.  
  • 
  The mage states what spell is to be powered with help from Blood Burn and also states how much blood 
  they intend to burn to help power it.  
  • 
  The mage rolls against their skill with the spell to be cast.  
  • 
  If the skill roll is successful, they roll in the same turn against their skill with Blood Burn.  
  • 
  If the mage does not get all the power from Blood Burn that they were banking on, they may still decide 
  to make up the difference using their own fatigue or HT. If they are not willing to make up the difference, 
  then the blood they were to use from Blood Burn is still destroyed.  
  This is also a Necromantic spell.  
  Duration: None. Simultaneous with another spell.

  Causes all edible (and/or theoretically or once edible, includes garbage, offal, waste, scraps, etc.) materials 
  in the area to randomly fly about the area at tremendous speeds. Light or disposable containers (like milk 
  cartons or light pie pans) will also begin flying if they have a significant amount of food in or on them. Larger 
  containers will not move, but their contents will spill or fly. The food and/or slops  flying around do 1 point of 
  damage per turn if they are solid or hot (hard fruit, frozen chickens, pots of hot coffee etc.), unless subjects 
  in the area of effect make a DX roll. If they fail, they not only take the damage, but also must make a HT roll 
  to avoid being blinded as for the Pie spell. Soft foods which are not hot do no damage but still can blind.  
  After 5 seconds, the ground in the area of effect will be slippery with goo and junk. All hexes in the area of 
  effect are affected as if by a Grease (p. G79) spell. After the spell ends, the area will still be cluttered, but not 
  preternaturally so.  
  Needless to say that any food affected by this spell is likely to be ruined and anything in the area will be 
  covered with food.  
  This spell assumes that there is a significant amount of food in the area (like what you would find at a 
  cafeteria or a banquet). If there isn’t much food in the area or the food is contained in boxes, bags or barrels 
  so it can’t fly about, then the GM can greatly reduce the effects of this spell or he can just rule that the spell 
  fails.

  be set to rights.  
  While this effect cannot make bad food palatable and it can’t add any ingredient is not there, it can make

  scents, and mass of the real thing. Because it has bulk, the diner gets the impression that he has had a full 
  meal. However, his body is not fooled, no Fatigue is regained by eating a meal of junk food.  
  Depending on the situation, this can be good or bad. Bacteria won’t grow in food treated with this spell

  lives on a diet of junk food will starve to death.

  Magic Ale (VH) 
   Regular 
  By using magic to defy the known laws of physics, this spell will allow mages to distill an alcoholic beverage 
  which exceeds 200 proof (100% alcohol). Such beverages are incredibly tasty and incredibly potent. They 
  can also be dangerous - a shot glass of 210% proof ale would have an Alcohol Factor of 21, the equivalent 
  of 7 beers!  
  This spell requires that the mage have a quantity of distilled alcohol. The first casting of this spell brings any 
  distilled beverage up to 200 proof, subsequent castings improve proof by 10%. Volume is not reduced.

  meal for gourmet food served in sumptuous surroundings (fine table and chairs, linen tablecloths 
  and napkins, silver table service, fine china plates, crystal goblets, service by impeccably dressed 
  servants etc.). In the latter case, all the sumptuous and valuable settings vanish at the end of the 
  meal. If carefully inspected, the whole set-up turns out to be an illusion, except for the food.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Create Food, Water to Wine, Complex Illusion, Banquet 
  Magic Item: Table. Casts spell when command word is spoken. Cost to Create: 100 if only one sort

  Pie 
   
   Missile 
  Lets the caster create a pie from thin air and then throw it at the target’s face. (Use Spell Throwing: Pie skill. 
  There is no extra to hit penalty to target the face.) This is a permanent, edible, tasty item of food. The mage 
  need not throw it. The pie has SS 13, Acc +1, 1/2D 25, MAX 50. If the pie hits its target, it does 1 point of 
  damage unless the victim can make a HT roll. Additionally, the target must make a DX roll or be blinded for 
  1 second, then be at -3 DX for 1d seconds. If the target critically fails, he will be fully blind for 1d seconds. 
  On a DX success, the pie mostly misses the eyes, and the victim is at -3 DX for 1 second 
  On a critical success, the target is unaffected by the pie at all; if the target initially took a point of damage 
  from the pie, he'll get it back.  
  If the victim has a piece of rigid material, like a sheet of cardboard or a plate, he may add +1 to his DX roll. If 
  he has a shield, he may add the shield’s PD to his DX roll. If the subject has the Shield skill or a weapon, he 
  may block or parry the pie rather than rolling vs. DX.  
  
   117 
  If the subject has any sort of face protection (like a scarf) he is immune to damage, but still must roll vs. DX 
  to see if he is blinded.  
  The pie will have no effect (other than making the subject messy) if thrown at any other target besides the 
  face.  
  Rumors persist about variants of this spell that either do a sizable amount more damage (like Acid Pies or 
  Flaming Pies) or have special effects (like Sleep Pies or Curse Pies). Variants like these would certainly 
  have appropriate extra Prerequisites.  
  Base Cost: 1 
  Prerequisites: Greater Create Food and Shape Food 
  Magic Item: Glove. Energy cost to create: 500.

  spell won't prevent damage already done to the subject's body by food-based poisons, but it immediately 
  halts any further damage if the poison wasn't completely absorbed. This spell also relieves the effects of 
  overindulgence.  
  Food (and other things) consumed up to 12 hours before the spell is cast can be purged by means of this 
  spell. Since all food and drink is purged by means of this spell, the subject becomes hungry and loses 1 
  point of Fatigue. He also loses any benefit of meals consumed within the last 6 hours.  
  Base Cost: 2, can't be maintained. For double cost any food eaten within 24 hours can be removed.

  Reverse Fermentation

  bacteria.

  Shape Food 
   Regular 
  Allows the creation of food-sculptures, wine fountains, or wedding cakes that defy the usual laws of physics. 
  Through use of this spell, food could theoretically be shaped into some form of shield or wall; GMs please 
  note that only rarely would food have more than DR 1 or 2.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 1 per 20 lbs.; 1 (for whole shaping) to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Shape Earth, Shape Water, Preserve Food 
  Magic Item: (a) Copper spoon. Energy cost to make: 200. (b) Any Shaped Food can be made to 
  hold that shape permanently (until eaten, of course) for 10 times casting cost.  
  Second Stomach 
   Regular 
  This spell allows the subject to eat or drink a normal amount of food but not digest it or absorb it in any way 
  until the spell ends. The subject can also voluntarily and easily regurgitate the food that was eaten at any 
  time. This allows the mage to eat or drink poison, hold it for a time, and then quietly purge it with no ill 
  effects.  
  This is also a Body Control spell.  
  Base Cost: 2,1 to maintain 
  Duration: 4 hours 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Create Food, 3 other Food or Body Control spells.  
  Magic Item: Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points. (b) Clothing or 
  Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 100 points 
  Speed Cooking 
   Regular 
  Allows natural chemical processes involved in cooking to be greatly speeded up, allowing foods which rely 
  on chemical or bacterial action to be readied in minutes. Bread dough can be made to rise in minutes, 
  pickled foods can be prepared in hours, dry beans can be softened in seconds. This spell can also be used 
  to produce alcohol or cheese, but the Fermentation or Cheese spells are much faster and more reliable, 
  since this spell only accelerates the action of existing bacterial or chemical reactions already present in the 
  ingredients.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1 per pound of material 
  Magic Item: Mixing Bowl or Crock. Casts this spell on any food placed in it. Energy Cost: 100 to 
  create.  
  Sustenance 
   Regular 
  This spell will automatically create food and drink of an identical type in an identical place (or a specified 
  object), at a set time each day. For example, the mage could create a pot of coffee in a coffee pot every 
  morning or he could fill a bowl with food or water for an animal.  
  If the food created the day before is not consumed, it will magically disappear when the new food appears or 
  when the spell ends. The mage specifies the sort of food and/or drink to be created, as well as the time(s) 
  when they will appear, and where they will appear.  
  Base Cost: 1 per day for a creature (or a number of creatures) up to 50 lbs., 1 per meal per hex of 
  creature (3 per day for a man-sized creature). Double cost if more than one type of food and/or drink 
  is to be created. Quadruple cost if the food or drink is rare and/or expensive. 
  Duration: Variable 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Create Food, Create Drink 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points. (b) Bowl or Plate. Creates one sort 
  of food or drink at a set time each day. Energy Cost: 50 points.  
  Sweet Lotus 
  Special, resisted by IQ-2 or Will-2 
  
   119 
  This spell imbues the target food with the essence of the legendary lotus. Any being (save the caster) who 
  sees the ensorcelled food feels a strong urge to eat it unless they can make a resistance roll vs. IQ -2 or Will-
  2, whichever is worse. The GM should roll vs. the subject’s resistance in secret, and then give the unlucky 
  victim very strong hints that he should try the food (i.e. “The food looks delicious, and you are suddenly 
  reminded that you are very hungry.”) rather than just forcing the character to eat the food.  
  If the subject eats the Sweet Lotused food, it will taste utterly delicious. However, he must then make 
  another resistance roll (at IQ -2 or Will-2, whichever is Worse). If he fails, he will suffer from the effects of 
  both Ecstasy (p. G76) and Loyalty (p. M68) as if the mage had cast those spells. Duration of the Ecstasy 
  spell is normal, but the Loyalty will last 6 hours.  
  Duration: 1 day 
  Base Cost: 6 per meal 
  Prerequisites: Magery 3, Banquet, Ecstasy, Lure, Loyalty 
  Taint Food and Drink 
   Regular 
  Similar to the Poison Food spell, this spell causes harmful bacteria to grow in food and drink, giving any 
  creature which eats the tainted food diarrhea and an upset stomach. Approximately one hour after ingesting 
  the tainted food, the subject must roll vs. HT or suffer from intestinal distress, giving them -1 to ST, DX and 
  IQ, among other effects. The illness passes 3d6 hours after it started.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1 per meal 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 200 to create. (b) Plate or Cup. Casts this 
  spell on any food placed in it. Energy Cost: 75 
  Tasty 
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  Makes food and drink look incredibly tasty. Anyone who tastes even a morsel of the food must roll vs. Will or 
  eat until they are sated. Characters with Gluttony are at -4 to resist.  
  This spell can't make foods which the subject wouldn't normally eat appear tasty to him, for example, hay 
  couldn't be made to appear tasty to a human, but it would look delicious to a horse. 
  Likewise, the subject gets +4 to Will to avoid foods which he knows will adversely affect him in some way (by 
  aggravating a food allergy or making him break a Vow, for example).  
  No bonus to Will is allowed if the dangers of eating don't seem serious or immediately obvious. For example, 
  you don't get a bonus just because you're trying to lose weight or because you suspect that someone might 
  be trying to poison you.  
  Duration: 4 hours 
  Base Cost: 2 per pound of food or quart of drink. Can’t be maintained.  
  Prerequisite : Delicious Aroma 
  Magic Item: Dish or other serving container. Casts this spell on any food placed in it. Energy Cost: 
  350 to create.  
  Trencherman 
   Regular 
  This spell allows the subject to eat and drink up to ten times the amount of food and drink he nor mally could 
  at one sitting, and then store it in his body until needed with no gain in weight or other ill effects.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 3 points, can't be maintained 
  Prerequisite : Monk's Banquet 
  Magic Item: Plate, Bowl or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 200.  
  True Cornucopia 
  Enchantment 
  Allows any container to continually produce food of any type or variety the mage is familiar with. The 
  enchanter sets the amount, type and assortment of food to be created when he enchants a True 
  Cornucopia. The food produced is real and permanent (i.e. it will not disappear after one minute like 
  ammunition created with the Cornucopia spell), but it will disappear if it is left in the container for long 
  
   120 
  enough that it begins to spoil. Nor mally, the cornucopia will produce just enough food to fill itself, and 
  someone must touch it and concentrate for a moment to produce more food (up to the maximum amount 
  which can be created per day). If a large quantity of food is produced, it will magically “flow” out of the 
  container into the surrounding hexes in such a way that the food remains wholesome and good. Only food 
  items may be created with this spell.  
  This is also an Enchantment spell. 
  Base Cost: 10 per 1 lb. of food created per day.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 3, Cornucopia, Greater Create Food or Sustenance. 
  Water to Alcohol 
   Regular 
  This spell turns water to beer, sake, mead or any other alcoholic beverage the mage is familiar with up to 
  12% alcohol content (24 proof). The beverage produced is only as good as the water used to make it. Ditch 
  water produces inferior brew, pure spring water produces excellent drink.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 2 per pint (or quart of beer, or 1 oz of distilled liquor)  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Water to Wine 
  Magic Item: Still or Fermenting Vat. Energy Cost: 350.

  Force Spells  
  Spells from GURPS Magic and Grimoire  
  The following spells are included in the College of Force magic. 
  Walk on Air - Air 
  Walk on Water -Water Float - Water 
  Air Golem - Movement Apportation - Movement Flight - Movement Levitation - Movement Lighten Burden - 
  Movement Poltergeist -Movement Slow Fall - Movement Wallwalker - Movement 
  Armor - Protection and Warning Force Dome - Protection and Warning Missile Shield - Protection and 
  Warning Reverse Missiles - Protection and Warning Weather Dome - Protection and Warning 
  New Spells 
  Magical “Force” is an odorless, invisible area tangible only by touch. It can be shaped and moved to crush or 
  cut or it can appear in flat sheets to support, lift or confine. Characters trapped in an area of force look for all 
  the world like a mime trapped in a “invisible box”.  
  Force retains neither heat nor cold and it gnerally doesn’t interfere with radiated heat transfer (though it does 
  stop physical movement of hot or cold air). Though it has a texture something like glass, unlike glass, 
  nothing will stick to it and it is invisible from all directions. However, it is visible to Detect Magic spells and 
  Mage Sight. Then it appears as a shimmering slightly opaque area, like oily water or an old pane of glass.  
  However, if a mage who creates an area of force wishes he can make his force visible. When force is made 
  visible it appears as a mage would see it in the mage’s choice of color(s).  
  Airboat 
  Regular 
  Creates a large, thick, flexible "sheet" of semi -transparent force, which occupies a 6' x 4" rectangle and 
  which can fly at Move 12 while carrying up to 500 lbs. The area is roughly boat - shaped with tapering stern 
  and prow and has "gunwales" which extend about 2 feet above the "deck". The bottom of the boat is flat.  
  The mage expends no fatigue in maneuvering an airboat, but he must concentrate to make the boat move. 
  Sharp turns, steep climbs or dives, sudden stops, high winds, and blows by large attackers require a DX+4 
  roll by each rider to stay in the boat. At the end of the spell, the boat will not immediately vanish, but instead 
  will glide to earth at Move 4 before vanishing.  
  The boat can't be destroyed by normal means, and will give PD 2, DR 5 against attacks which must go 
  through the boat to hit the riders.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, half to maintain, add 2 to Base Cost for each extra 500 lbs carried. Each 
  additional 500 lbs. carried adds 3' to length and 1' to width. For 1 extra point, the caster can make 
  the surface of the boat opaque, brightly colored, and elegantly patterned.  
  Prerequisite : Flight, Animate Force, Floating Disc 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Figurine. Energy Cost: 500. Usable only by a mage.  
  Analyze Force  
  Information 
  The caster learns everything he wants to know about a given force or physical phenomenon - the number of 
  foot-pounds of pressure exerts, its vector, the amount of heat it generates and so forth.  
  High tech mages will discover that this spell will substitute for all sorts of modern tools which measure 
  pressure, poundage, heat transfer and so forth. In the right circumstances the GM could rule that the use of 
  this spell gives +2 to skills which require close measurement of physical forces, such as Physics or 
  Meteorology. For skills where tools which measure pressure, force and and poundage are handy but not 
  crucial (such as Mechanic, Engineering or Architecture) the GM might decide to give +1 to skill.  
  Base Cost: 3 points 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  
   122 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Animate Force 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the caster to shape and move an invisible "sheet" of force in any way he wishes. In effect, 
  this spell is a variant on the Apportation spell, except that the caster can also use the force to lift, squeeze, 
  or pull.  
  The area of force is about 6 feet high and 6 feet wide and can be bent into simple geometric shapes (like a 
  circle or a curving wall). The wall has PD 2, DR 5 and 12 HP. If used to crush or constrict foes it attacks at 
  DX 10, has ST 20 and does 1 point per 10 seconds of crushing or constricting. When used to push, pull, lift 
  or move an item it has ST 20 and Move 5.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 5, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Apportation 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Attraction  
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Sets up a "magnetic" attraction between the affected object and all living things except the caster. Any living 
  thing within 10 hexes of the item will either be pulled towards the item at Move 10, or have the item pulled 
  towards them (at Move 10). If the creature wishes to resist moving towards the object he must roll vs. ST 
  each turn or be pulled 1 hex closer. Once the item is stuck to the victim or the victim is stuck to the item, a 
  ST roll is required to break free, and subsequent ST rolls are needed to escape from the area of attraction. 
  Each successful ST roll allows a creature to move 1 hex away. Creatures who critically fail a ST roll are 
  pulled helplessly towards the subject and might become "stuck" to objects which intervene between them 
  such as doors or walls. If the creature is already stuck to the center of attraction, they are unable to break 
  free for at least 1 minute. Creatures which mak e their ST roll may move away from the subject at only half 
  their normal speed.  
  If the object is heavy, or the subject is attracted to the object at high speed, the subject might take damage 
  from the collision.  
  If the subject is a living object he can roll vs. Will to shake off the effects of the spell, and creatures who are 
  pulled towards the character who are unwilling to come nearer can roll vs. ST at +1 for every 3 hexes of 
  distance between them and the subject.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  BaseCost: 6 to cast, 4 to maintain, an area can be made permanently attractive for 20 times the 
  Base Cost of the spell.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Apportation 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost to create: 500 points. Usable only by a Mage.  
  Avoidance 
  Regular 
  As above, but this spell sets up a "magnetic" repulsion between the affected object and all living things 
  except the caster. Any living thing within 10 hexes of the item will either be pushed away from the item at 
  Move 10, or push the the item away from them at the speed that they are moving. At all time the object will 
  "attempt" to keep living creatures at least 10 hexes away from it, so even if "cornered" it might pop up into 
  the air or slide along a wall. 
  If a creature wishes to move closer than 10 hexes from the object, they must first find a way to hold the item 
  in place, and then they must make a ST roll each turn to push closer to the item. In order to actually grab te 
  item and hang onto it, they must roll vs. ST-5 each turn.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  BaseCost: 6 to cast, 4 to maintain, an area can be made permanently “repulsive” for 20 times the 
  Base Cost of the spell.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Apportation 
  
   123 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost to create: 500 points. Usable only by a Mage.  
  Blade Barrier 
  Regular 
  A rapidly whirling "fan" of blades made out of pure energy is called into being. To observers the blade-barrier 
  looks like a flickering, semi- transparent whirling circle of blades, reminiscent of an electric fan or an 
  airplane's propellor. Any creature who enters the hex occupied by the blade barrier must roll vs. DX or take 
  2d6 points of Cutting damage.  
  A slightly more powerful version of this spell allows the caster to move the Barrier around at 3 hexes per 
  turn. If it moves into a hex occupied by a living creature, it will hit on a roll of 10 or less.  
  A side effect of the blade barrier is that it interferes with weapon attacks through its hex. Any missile which 
  passes through the blade hex has a 50% chance of being stopped or deflected by the blades. Melee 
  weapon attacks are automatically stopped and the melee weapon takes 2d6 points of damage and must roll 
  for breakage.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 8, 6 to maintain, double costs to make the blades mobile.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Animate Force 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Blast 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  Causes energy to erupt in all directions from a single point, causing concussion damage to anyone nearbly. 
  Damage is normal for creatures in the explosion hex and adjacent to it, damage is halved for targets 2 or 3 
  hexes away, and is quartered for creatures 4 to 6 hexes away from the center of the blast.  
  If the mage touches a living subject, then he can center the the blast in the middle of the subject’s body or 
  on his bones. If the subject fails his resistance roll vs. HT, all damage is doubled and is centered on the 
  vitals (for six times normal damage)! However, due to the buffering effect of the victim’s body damage is 
  halved for targets adjacent to the victim and those beyond 1 hex away to no extra damage.  
  The results of a successful “direct hit” from a Blast spell are quite gruesome. The GM might requier Fright 
  Checks from anyone who sees the victim’s flesh blasted from his bones.  
  Base Cost: 3 per die of damage, up to 3 dice.  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds per die of damage.  
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Apportation 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,500 to create. Usable only by a mage.  
  Body of Force 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  The subject's body and any posessions on his body are turned into a mass of pure, cohesive energy. This 
  makes the subject immune to all forms of attack save Cold and Electricity and gives the subject the 
  Invisibility and Insubstantiality advantages (reversible at will). The subject also does an extra +2 points of 
  damage he makes while in Body of Force form.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 10 points 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Apportation 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Clothing. 350 to create.  
  Chopper 
  Area 
  This spell makes a two-dimensional plane of shimmering force move along a given plane with tremendous 
  force and speed. Creatures in the path of the bladea must Dodgeor Block this “force blade” or take up to 3 
  dice of Cutting damage.  
  Depending on the circumstances, the GM might rule that the damage is suffered by some specific area of th 
  e body rather than rolling randomly. For example, a Chopper spell made to move horizontally through a 
  
   124 
  room at 5 feet above the floor might decapitate anyone who gets in the way! Or, a door with the chopper 
  spell cast on it might cut off the foot of the first person to step through it.  
  Though this spell is mostly used as an attack spell, it is also has peaceful uses as a shear, saw, or trimmer.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 1 per die of damage, up to 3 dice.  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds per die of damage.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Animate Force 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 750 to create. Usable only by a mage.  
  Constricting Clothing 
  Regular, resisted by DX  
  This spell causes the subject's clothing to animate and move in such a way as to inhibit the victim's actions - 
  shoelaces tie together, belts bind or come loose, shirt-tails tie themselves to nearby objects, and so forth. 
  This has the effect of reducing the victim's Move and DX by -1 and interferes with all skills which require 
  motion of the body.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Animate Force 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. (b) Clothing. Always on. Afflicts 
  wearer with this spell. 150 points.  
  Decrease Friction 
  Area 
  The spell decreases the friction of a surface. The general game effect is to make tha are of the spell into an 
  Ice Slick (as per the Water spell, roll vs. DX to keep your feet each turn), but the effort require to move 
  objects across the slippery area is greatly reduced.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 points per hex, half to maintain. The friction in an area can be permanently decreased 
  for 20 times the Base Cost of the spell.  
  Prerequisite : Increase Friction 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 200.  
  Decrease Inertia 
  Regular 
  Decreases the inertia of the an object, making movement easier to start and stop. Changes in direction are 
  easier to accomplish. This spell allows the Sprint bonus on the first turn of movement and the character can 
  stop cold in the same hex as an opponent without having to make a slam attack (unless they wish to do so). 
  The subject also gets +1 to Initiative due to easier movement and faster turning speed.  
  When this spell is cast on a larger or faster creature or vehicle, acceleration and deceleration speeds are 
  doubled and turn rate is increased 50%., but the vehicle will rapidly lose speed unless power is constantly 
  applied to the engine (you can't "coast" as easily).  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4 points, 3 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Slow Fall 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250. (b) Shoes, Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  Wearer only. Energy Cost: 200. (c) Vehicle. Energy Cost: 2 points per pound of vehicle weight.  
  Elevator 
  Area 
  Similar to the Force Bridge or Magic Road spell, this spell creates a roughly rectangular area of force which 
  will support large amounts of weight and which will cover large areas. However, it can only move up or 
  down, though it can move at up to 30 degrees from the vertical plane.  
  The area will support up to 75 lbs. per square foot, enough to support normal humans and light vehicles, but 
  strong enough to support heavier things such as cars or giants. The floor of the elevator has PD 1, DR 1 and 
  2 HP per square foot. When the elevator takes enough damage to destroy the whole area it vanishes, 
  leavi ng its occupants stranded in midair.  
  
   125 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4 per hex of area, 1 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Animate Force 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points to create.  
  Energy Bands 
  Regular; resisted by ST 
  The target is bound in shimmering bands of magical energy. Unless they can roll vs. ST to break 
  free, they are helpless for the Duration of the spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain. Each doubling of cost gives -5 to ST to break the bonds.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Shape Force 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Fast Fall 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Causes a falling object to accelerate to maximum velocity faster than it normally would and increases 
  maximum terminal velocity. Falling damage is increased proportionately. Objects sinking in water sink at a 
  faster rate.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 3 points, 2 to maintain for double acceleration, double this for triple acceleration, triple 
  for quadruple, and so on.  
  Prerequisite : Slow Fall 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 to create. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works 
  for wearer only. Energy Cost: 100 to create.  
  Fishing Pole 
  Regular 
  This peculiar spell causes the tip of a staff, the end of the piece of string, or the tip of some other long thin 
  object to become charged with quasi - magnetic energy which attracts items specified by the mage when the 
  spell is cast. When the tip of the item is enchanted and is placed on a reasonably solid surface within 300 
  feet (100 hexes), items of the type specified by the mage which are not physically prevent ed from moving 
  towards the tip of the "pole" will begin to move towards the "pole" at the rate of 1 hex per turn. When they 
  reach the enchanted area they will "stick" to the line and begin to vigorously "tug" on it alerting the mage that 
  he has "caught" something. The mage can then retrieve his rod or line and remove the object from the tip. 
  However, very heavy or bulky items might require the mage to make a ST roll to handle and heavy items 
  might break thin rods or strings.  
  As long as the spell is in effect, and there are objects of the specified sort within 100 hexes of the caster's 
  location, the spell will be effective, but the mage will not know if an unsuccessful attempt to find an object is 
  because the spell was miscast, because there are no objects of the type desired within range, or because 
  the available objects are physically blocked.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Attraction 
  Magic Item: Staff or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Floating Disc 
  Regular 
  Creates a semi-transparent "saucer" of force which the mage can move around by mental command. 
  The saucer moves at the same speed as the caster and will follow the mage at a distance of 3 hexes unless 
  otherwise specified. It won't move into the caster's hex or more than 30 hexes away from the caster. The 
  amount of weight the disc can carry depends on the energy put into the spell.  
  The disc can't be damage, but the contents it supports can be.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  
   126 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. The disc can carry 100 lbs. Each doubling of cost doubles the amount 
  of weight the disc can carry, up to 1600 lbs.  
  Prerequisite : Apportation 
  Magic Item: Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 to create.  
  Force Barrier 
  Area 
  This spell creat es a “directional” area of force along any plane. It differs from a normal area of force in that it 
  exerts no force in one direction, but exerts resistance normally in all other directions!  
  For example, a mage could use this spell to make a doorway that let people in, but wouldn’t let them out, or 
  cover a pit which let objects fall to the bottom normally, but formed a “trap door” to keep people from getting 
  out from the bottom.  
  In all other respect this spell is like the Wall of Force spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5 per hex, 3 to maintain. An area of force can be made permanent for 20 times the 
  Base Cost of the spell.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite :Magery, Wall of Force.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 1,500 to create. Usable only by a mage.  
  Force Beam 
  Missile 
  Creates a lance of pure force which the mage can use to destroy his enemies. The missile has SS 12, Acc 
  +3, 1/2D: 25, Max 50.  
  Duration: 1 second 
  Base Cost: 1 point per die of damage, up to 6 dice.  
  Time to Cast: 1 second per energy point used 
  Prerequisite : Poltergeist 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500. Usable only by a mage.  
  Force Blade 
  Regular 
  Calls a force sword into being, which the caster can use like a normal force sword. The force sword does 
  3d6 points of cutting damage, rather than using the ST of the user to detarmine damage. Any normal 
  weapon which tries to parry it must roll for breakage. Force swords never break. The Force Sword skill is 
  used to wield a force sword.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5 points, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds.  
  Prerequisite : Force Beam 
  Magic Item: Baton or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Force Bridge 
  Area 
  This spell creates a roughly rectangular area of force which will support large amounts of weight and cover 
  large areas.  
  The "bridge" can be placed at any angle as long as at least one edge of the area of force is anchored to a 
  solid surface. The mage can use this area of force to create floors, ramps, bridges or walls.  
  The area will support up to 75 lbs. per square foot, enough to easily support normal humans and light 
  vehicles such as horse carts or motorcycles. However, it will not be strong enough to support heavier things 
  such as cars or giants.  
  In spite of its weight holding capacity, the area of force makes poor armor and only has PD 1, DR 1 and 2 
  HP per square foot. When the bridge takes enough damage to destroy the whole area it vanishes.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5 per hex of area, 1 to maintain. Each doubling of cost doubles either the amount of DR 
  and HP per square foot or doubles the amount of weight the bridge can support.

  Force Cage 
  Area, resisted by DX-4 
  This spell creates a hemispherical (or spherical) cage made up of bars of force, which are faintly visible once

  "door" or "doors" (the number of entrances is specified by caster) instantly slams shut, trapping the 
  occupants for the Duration of the spell.  
  The victims can't escape the cage by burrowing, since the cage is actually a globe with half its surface 
  underground. However, the victims can attempt to roll vs. DX-4 to escape the trap on the turn it springs into 
  existance.  
  The bars of the dome have PD 5, DR 25, and HP 100. The "bars" are about 4" apart, so air, water, and food 
  can be passed through the bars. Small animals can also pass through the bars, so it is possible to escape 
  the cage by shrinking or turning into a tiny animal.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5, 3 to maintain per hex. An areas can be turned into a permanent force cage (activated 
  by whatever means the enchanter desires) for 20 times the Base Cost of the spell.

  skid" surface (+6 to DX to avoid tripping), but the amount of effort required to move through the area is 
  increased. For most forms of transportation (walking, rolling) this doesn't make a different, but dragging

  changes in movement harder to make. The game effects of this are that the subject can only accelerate or 
  decelerate by half his normal move in a turn and the subject can only change 2 hex sides per turn while 
  moving (4 hexes if he is standing still). Creatures and vehicles with higher speeds have their acceleration 
  and deceleration speeds halved and have their turn rates halved.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4 points, 3 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Slow Fall 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Clothing. Energy Cost: 500 to create.  
  Inertialess Travel  
  Regular 
  Completely eliminates inertia, allowing instant acceleration and deceleration and incredible maneuverability. 
  This spell allows the Sprint bonus on the first turn of movement and the character can stop cold in the same 
  hex as an opponent without having to make a slam attack (unless they wish to do so). The subject also gets 
  +1 to Initiative due to easier movement and faster turning speed.  
  When this spell is cast on a larger or faster creature or vehicle, acceleration and deceleration speeds are 
  quadrupled and turn rate is increased 100%., but the vehicle will stop unless power is constantly applied to 
  the engine (you can't "coast"). Vehicles which are designed to be inertialess can accelerate, decelerate and

  to “walk” over terrain that normally wouldn’t support their weight - like swamps or chasms. Since the mage 
  can alter the slope of the area of force by up to 10% per 100 feet, this spell can also be used to make 
  “bridges” or “ramps” and vehicles can even appear to “fly”.  
  However, unlike true flight, maneuverability is not improved and people on the magic road can be fall. While 
  the road will always travel with the mage, those people around him might have to make a DX check to keep 
  from falling over the edge of the “road”.  
  For extra cost the area of force can be made “U-shaped” in cross section, with the upright portions of the 
  area of force acting as cover and guard rails. ). These walls (and the “road” itself have PD 1, DR 2 and

  "attempt" to keep living creatures at least 10 hexes away from it, so even if "cornered" it might pop up into 
  the air or slide along a wall. 
  If a creature wishes to move closer than 10 hexes from the object, they must first find a way to hold the item

  the cieling of an enclosed area. If there is no cieling, the ropes will magically "hang" from a point in midair. 
  The ropes will support up to 1000 pounds of weight.  
  The trapeze has a number of uses. It can be used as an elevated platform or as a swing, or it can used for 
  feats of aerial acrobatics.  
  Duration:1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Animate Force 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Tripline 
  Area 
  This spell creates rigid, immobile "wire" of force which will trip or wound creatures travelling through the hex 
  where it is placed. The "wire" is invisible and disippates instantly when it is activated.  
  If placed at ankle level, creatures moving through the hex must roll vs. DX to avoid tripping. If "strung" at a 
  higher level it will interfere with flying creatures (roll vs. DX or begin to fall) or people riding on horseback or 
  in vehicles. Creatures moving on horseback at a trot or faster (Move 7+) must roll vs. DX (or Riding skill) or 
  be dismounted, and suffer a fall from 2 yards. People riding in or on open vehicles take 1d6 points to a 
  random hit location for every 20 mph (10 Move) of speed up to a maximum of 4d6.  
  Unlike a normal tripwire, a magical tripwire doesn't need to be strung between two solid objects. For 
  example, a tripwire could be "hung" in midair.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 3 points per hex, 1 per hex to maintain. A tripline can be made permanent for a cost of 
  20 points per hex.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Air Golem 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 200 to create.  
  Turn Gravity 
  Area 
  Gravity is turned 90 degrees, so things seem to "fall sideways". Creatures caught in the area of effect start 
  to move as if they were falling (e.g. accelerating to terminal velocity in the direction the gravity is going, 
  taking damage if they hit anything along the way.) Once characters get to the edge of area of effect, their 
  gravity goes back to normal, but any motion they had is retained. This means that a person "falling 
  sideways" would suddenly fall to the ground and skid in his original direction of travel.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 per hex, 1 to maintain. An area can have its gravity permanently turned for 20 times 
  the Base Cost.  
  Prerequisi te: Magery, Increase Gravity 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Vessel of Force 
  Regular, resisted by DX  
  
   136 
  This spell creates a container of pure force in any shape of the caster's choosing. The force can be invisible 
  or visible, transparent or opaque, and will hold approximately 1 cubic foot of material or about a gallon of 
  liquid. At the caster's option, the vessel can be hermetically sealed or be sealed in such a way as to be gas -
  permeable, but still leak-proof. In addition, the caster has the option of making the vessel mobile, so that it 
  will follow the mage at a set distance (up to 50 hexes away).  
  The force field is invulnerable to all forms of attack except kinetic energy and some forms of magic. Heat, 
  cold, fire, disease, radiation, acid, alkali, and the like don't affect it. Strong blows from a melee weapon will 
  damage the container but the container has PD 5, DR 8 and 1 HP. A counterspell or the Dispell Magic spell 
  will destroy the vessel if the attacking spell wins a contest of skills, but the vessel is invulnerable to all other 
  forms of magic.  
  This spell is generally not used as an attack spell, but it could concievably be used to catch small animals. If 
  the spell is resisted, the subject of the attack resists with its DX.  
  Though this spell has a number of uses, it was designed to be a "containment vessel" for extremely powerful 
  or dangerous magical or alchemical products, like the ultimate solvent.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. Each doubling of cost doubles the amount of material which can be 
  maintained. The vessel can be made permanent for 20 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 3 second 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Force Dome 
  Magic Item: Container or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 to create.  
  Wall of Force 
  Area 
  This spell creates a 10' tall wall of force with PD 3, DR 15, and HP 35 per hex. Spells, heat, cold, water, 
  radiation, and physical attacks are blocked by the wall. The caster can have the wall be transparent, 
  opaque, or transparent on one side and opaque on the other by specifying his wishes before casting begins.  
  While the wall can't be moved, and can't be used to push or crush victims, it can be used to trap people, 
  since it is impossible to move through the wall or climb over it. Two hexes of wall are needed to completely 
  surround 1 hex. If the wall is used to trap a victim, the victim must roll vs. DX to escape the trap (at -2 to DX 
  for every additional hex occupied by the spell).  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain. Each doubling of cost doubles the DR and HP of the wall. An area of 
  force can be made permanent for 20 times the Base Cost of the spell.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Apportation, Force Dome 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 to create.  
  Wear 
  Regular 
  When cast on an object with moving parts, this spell cause the object to rapidly wear out and heat up due to 
  increased friction between the parts. Delicate items or devices with close-tolerance parts might sieze up or 
  be ruined. The game effects are up to the GM.  
  This is also a Making and Breaking spell. 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 2 points per 10 lbs. of object (or part of a larger machine) to be affected, half to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Increase Friction 
  Magic Item: Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Weight 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  Increases the weight of an item or person by 50%.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 per 20 lb. of material, every additional 50% increase in weight doubles cost.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds.  
  Prerequisite : Create Air 
  
   137 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Affects Wearer 
  only. Increases weight by set amount. Always on. Energy Cost: 100 points.

  Gate Spells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Beacon - For double cost the beacon can be made private so that only the mage and those he designates 
  can take advantage of it 
  Teleport Shield - The mage can designate peo ple who are not affected by this spell and who can teleport 
  through it normally 
  Sanctuary - For 2 extra points simple furniture can be created. For 4 extra points fancy and/or comfortable 
  furnishings and basic amenities (water, plumbing) can be created, as the mage desires. Each doubling of 
  cost doubles the cubic space that can be c reated 
  Planar Visit, Plane Shift and Plane Shift Other - Also see the rules for Astral Projection in GURPS 
  Psionics. The mage's Move in the Astral plane is based on his IQ or his skill with the spell, whichever is 
  greater 
  Divert Teleport - A lesser version of this spell can be cast on an area and diverts its victims to a set location 
  Scry Gate - Mages on the other side of the gate can sense the presence of the gate if they are lo oking for it 
  Slow Time - Spells within the area of effect appear to have double their normal Duration as seen by 
  creatures on the outside 
  Accelerate Time - Missiles fired from or through the area of the spell will be increased in speed and will 
  have their range and damage increased by an appropriate amount. As a very rough guideline, hexes in the 
  hasted area don't count towards the distanc e the missile must go before it reaches 1/2D range and if the 
  missile spends more than 50% of the distance between it and its target in the hasted area and the target is 
  not beyond the weapon's adjusted 1/2D range, then the missile will do +1 point of dam age per die. Spells 
  cast in the speeded area have half their effective Duration as seen from the view of creatures outside the 
  area of effect.

  New Spells 
  Astral Projection 
  Regular; resisted by Will or HT 
  This spell allows you to control your "astral body," by sending it out to explore while your physical body 
  remains in place. Your astral body is insubstantial and can "fly" at a Speed and skill equal to your spell skill. 
  While astral, your Dodge is equal to your normal Dodge, modified by Combat Reflexes but not by Running 
  skill, lameness or anything else.  
  
   139 
  When the spell is cast, your astral form leaves your material body and enters the outer astral plane. On the 
  next turn by making another roll against spell skill (no extra mana required) you can enter the inner astral 
  plane. You may remain astral as long as you pay the costs to maintain the spell or until you wish the spell to 
  end. However, you can't "snap back" to your body from the inner astral plane. It takes a roll vs. skill (no 
  mana required) to return to the outer astral plane and then to the "real world". If you go unconscious for any 
  reason on the inner astral plane your consciousness remains there, insensible, until you recover enough 
  Fatigue or damage to "wake up" and return to your body.  
  A glowing silvery "thread" links your astral body with your physical body, so you can't get lost while astral. 
  Your astral body is normally invisible, except to others in astral form. However, the astral body be detected 
  via the psionic disciplines Tele scan and Emotion Sense or by the magic spells See Invisible, Aura, and 
  Detect Foes.  
  You cannot take any equipment with you. You may create an image of whatever clothing you currently (or 
  normally) wear, but it has no protective value.  
  Astral bodies can interact physically while on the astral plane -- they are fully solid to each other. If attacked 
  physically while astral, you have PD equal to skill/8 (maximum 6) and DR equal to Skill/4. Magic spells such 
  as Armor can add to PD and/or DR normally if they are cast while the mage is on the astral plane. 
  The astral body is not affected by damage to one's physical form. Keep track of your astral body's HT 
  separately from your physical HT; although your material form may be wounded, your astral body will be 
  fine. Similarly, damage to an astral body is not applied to the physical body. If your astral body is injured, 
  your physical body may be fine - but if you enter the astral plane without giving yourself time to heal, your 
  astral body will still be damaged. Astral bodies can be damaged by "critical hits" but they have the Doesn't 
  Bleed, No Brain and No Vitals advantages.  
  If your astral body is ever destroyed, your physical body is left a mindless husk. If your physical body is 
  destroyed while you are astral, you become a creature of the astral plane, forever roaming. (See the Astral 
  Entity disadvantage.)  
  An astral body cannot be physically harmed by anything in the physical world, but spells, super powers and 
  psionic skills which affect the mind work against astral creatures, at -5 to skill. Likewise, astral beings can 
  affect creatures in the physical wo rld with mental powers at -5 to skill. "Physical" skills, abilities, and powers 
  only work against other astral beings while the mage is in astral form. Specifically, "attack" spells such as 
  lightening bolts, fireballs, Deathtouch and the like cannot be af fect a creature in the "real world" while the 
  mage is in astral form.  
  Informational spells like Aura, See Invisible, or Sense Foes work normally from the astral plane to the 
  material world and vice-versa. However, spells like Find Direction will not work when cast on the astral plane 
  and spells which require that a physica l item in the real world be touched for the spell to work also cannot 
  be cast from the astral plane. The Astral Projection spell can be cast on creatures in the real world from the 
  astral plane.  
  The outer astral plane "maps" directly the physical world, so the mage can move about the outer astral plane 
  as he would the real world, effectively being able to observe things as if he were Insubstantial and Invisible.  
  The inner astral plane is "floorless" world of empty space which is either perceived as an endless 
  nothingness of white or as slowly shifting, vaguely luminescent expanse of gray. Time in the inner astral 
  plane passes at 10 seconds of astral time for eve ry second of "real" time.  
  While in the astral plane, your physical body is unconscious and appears to be "sleeping". You maintain 
  some awareness of your surroundings though. You get an IQ roll to sense uncomfortable physical 
  sensations (like extreme heat or cold, or a physical se nsation like a shove or slap), and you get an IQ+4 roll 
  to detect pain or damage. ESP, including danger sense works normally, and simultaneously "works" for both 
  the subject's astral consciousness and his physical body.  
  If this spell is cast on an unwilling subject, they get a Will or HT roll (whichever is better) every 10 seconds to 
  resist the spell and return to their bodies. If they are transported to the inner plane, they must make an IQ 
  roll every 10 seconds to esc ape to the outer plane.  
  For more information on the astral plane, see GURPS Psionics.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain (double costs if cast on an unwilling subject for each hex of subject)  
  Time to Cast: 30 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Hideaway  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. 
  
   140 
  Astral Speed 
   Regular 
  This spell increases the subject's speed while in astral form. Every point of energy put into this spell 
  increases effective Move while in astral form by 1 point. Basic Speed or Move in non-astral form is not 
  affected.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 point per +1 increase in Move.  
  Prerequisites: Astral Form 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Control From Beyond 
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell works like Control Animal or Control Person save that the caster controls a creature in a different 
  plane. If the caster can see into the plane in question, a host may be picked out this way. If the caster 
  cannot see into the plane in questio n, a host will be chosen at random from whoever or whatever is nearby.  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Base Cost: 8 to cast, 4 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute.  
  Prerequisites: Control Animal, Control Person, Planar Visit.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Deep Pockets 
   Regular 
  This spell allows a small container to carry up to double its normal weight and volume without changing its 
  "perceived" weight and volume. The extra material is held in an extra-dimensional space linked to the 
  mage's dimension through the container.  
  The container to be affected by this spell can't be any larger than one cubic foot in volume, can't normally 
  hold more than 20 lbs. and must be worn by the mage. Typically things like pouches and pockets are 
  enchanted with this spell.  
  As long as the material held in the container is all held in the extra-dimensional space, the container will 
  appear empty until the mage speaks a word of command. If the material in the space is not removed from 
  the container before the spell ends, it wi ll appear back in the "normal" volume of the container, either 
  overflowing the container or bursting it, or both.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Hideaway 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. 
  Detect Beacons 
   Area, Information 
  This spell detects any Teleport beacons or similar objects within the area of effect. If cast while scrying an 
  area by means of another spell, this spell will also tell the mage if there are any spells in the observed area 
  which will interfere with Telep ortation or Gate use. Finally, if cast on the location where a mage teleported in 
  the last minute, it will tell the rough distance and direction of any teleport beacon linked to that mage. In this 
  case, there is a range penalty for long range.  
  This spell will also detect the absence of a beacon in a given location. Note that this spell doesn't tell the 
  mage what sort of Beacon, Shunt or Barrier is in place, only that there is one. In order to determine the exact 
  type of spell, he must use the Analyze Magic spell or something similar. Note that if a mage is within the 
  area of a Teleport Barrier or Teleport Shunt (or some other, similar spell), he might be able to detect such 
  spells just by using his Mage Sense advantage.  
  Base Cost: 1/2, same to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Analyze Magic, one of either Teleport Beacon, Teleport Barrier, or Gate.  
  Magic Item: Wand, Staff, or Jewelry. Mage Only. Energy Cost: 500 points. 
  Detect Gate 
   Information 
  
   141 
  This spell will allow the mage to detect the presence of any gates within 20 hexes and tell him where they 
  lead and how they can be opened.  
  Base Cost: 3 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Open Gate 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. 
  Dimension Block 
  Area 
  Similar to the Teleportation block, this spell prevents travel within the area of effect to or from other 
  dimensions or planes.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 per hex, same to maintain. An area can be enchanted with this spell for 25 times the 
  Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Teleport Block 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Dimensional Teleport (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the mage to transport himself or a subject to any time, place, or dimension in the multi-
  universe without regard to time or distance. Essentially it is a combination of the Teleport and Time Travel 
  spells linked to the World Jumper abil ity. Modifiers to skill for Time are as the Time Travel spell. Modifiers to 
  skill for Distance are for the Teleport skill. Modifiers for distance between dimensions are as for the Planar 
  Travel spell.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 20 per hex of subject.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Teleport, Time Travel, Planar Travel 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points. Mage only.  
  Disposal  
   Regular 
  This handy variant of the Gate spell, creates a small one-way portal to the nearest sewage system, dunghill 
  or trash heap. When the spell is cast, the mage creates an 12" diameter round area of pure black space 
  which can be placed on any roughly horizontal, inanimate surface. Anything dropped into the hole vanishes 
  into the "hole" and reappears in the local equivalent of the sewer. Items or creatures which are larger than 
  12" across their smallest dimension can't be forced through the gate. Likewise, small creatures dropped into 
  the hole get a roll vs. DX to avoid being sent to the sewers. Objects must be placed completely wi thin the 
  gate before they are transported - you can't chop off a foe's hand by sticking it into the gate! Creatures and 
  items transported to the sewers are not harm ed, but they might have difficulty escaping.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 3, same to maintain. This spell can be made permanent for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Disrobe 
   Regular, resisted by Will+2 
  This spell can be cast on equipment and clothing worn by the subject.  
  If a Will+2 roll is failed, all objects that the character is wearing or carrying are magically removed from his 
  body and are scattered in the character's hex.  
  If this spell is cast on a single item there is no bonus to the Will roll, and the roll is at -2 if the item is loosely 
  held to the character's body (like a hat or a scarf).  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 3, can't be maintained 
  
   142 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. (b) Jewelry. Works for wearer 
  only. Always on. Can't be removed. Energy Cost: 150 points 
  Duo-Dimension 
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  The subject and any objects they are carrying become two dimensional.  
  This has several effects. First, the subject has no mass so they can do no damage with physical weapons. 
  Psionic and magical attacks still work, as do missile weapons. (Missiles become three dimensional after they 
  leave the user's weapon).  
  Secondly, if they turn "sideways" they vanish out of the third dimension and become, effectively, 
  insubstantial.  
  Third, the subject can slide through cracks which are wide enough to accommodate their width along one of 
  their two remaining dimensions.  
  Finally, the subject takes triple normal damage if they are hit by a cutting, impaling, or bullet damage while in 
  a two dimensional state. (This is after the normal bonuses for damage which penetrates armor.)  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Deep Pockets 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Duo-Dimensional Blade 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Removes one dimension from a bladed weapon, making it extremely sharp.  
  Dou-Dimensional Blades have an armor divisor of (5) and double all cutting damage allowing armor and 
  stone to be cut like paper. However, they are extremely fragile. They are treated as Very Cheap when 
  determining breakage if they strike (or are struck) on the flat of the blade. Fortunately, anyone Parrying or 
  Blocking a Duo-Dimensional Blade must roll vs. Weapon or Shield skill or have their weapon or shield cut by 
  the blade.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 per pound of weapon to be affected, same to maintain. A weapon can be permanently 
  enchanted with this spell for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Duo-Dimension 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Endless Hours (VH) 
   Regular 
  This is the reverse of the Time Flies spell.  
  It is very similar to the Great Haste spell and causes the rest of the world to seem to slow down or even stop 
  while the characters speed up in relation to the surrounding timeline.  
  Subjects affected by the spell move at 10 times their normal speed. This allows characters in combat to 
  effectively attack as if their foe was "frozen" and allows the subject to move, explore, or perform other 
  actions as if the rest of the world were fro zen in place.  
  The only catch is that Fatigue that the subject expends while the spell is in effect is multiplied by 10 when 
  the spell ends. If total Fatigue exceeds -ST then the subject takes 1 point of damage per each multiple (or 
  fraction thereof) of negative ST in addition to remaining unconscious until fatigue is regained naturally.  
  Spells or attacks which affect subjects not affected by the Endless Hours spell seem to "hang" in 
  space for the Duration of the spell and only take effect when the spell ends.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 10 points per hex of creature or item affected.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Great Haste, Speed Time 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  
   143 
  Ethereal Form 
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  Transports the subject and any items he is carrying to the Ethereal plane. In other respects this spell is like 
  the Astral Projection spell.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain (double costs if cast on an unwilling subject for each hex of subject)  
  Time to Cast: 30 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Hideaway  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Extradimensional Manipulation Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to create a force-field in the shape of his own arms to manipulate objects through 
  time, space or dimension.  
  In order to affect an object, the mage must know roughly where it is, and he must have the tools present in 
  that dimension to perform the task he wishes to perform. Once the task is finished, the arms of force vanish, 
  ending the spell. Objects can't be t ransported through time, space, or dimension by means of this spell.  
  The arms have the same ST and DX as the mage's own arms, but only have 1/2 the mage's HP. They 
  appear as opaque, glowing disembodied arms. The mage can move the arms about at a rate equal to his 
  normal Movement. The mage can "see" the area within 3' of t he arms and might be able to use the arms to 
  attack, but unless he has weapons at hand he is limited to bare-hand attacks. Also, due to the distances 
  involved, and the difficulties of fighting via "remote control" the mage is at -4 to all attacks and defe nses with 
  the disembodied arms. If the arms are destroyed, the spell ends.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Time Travel, Planar Travel, Wizard Eye, Remote Control, Create Force 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Gated Weapon  
   Regular 
  When this spell is cast on a weapon, the weapon can bypass a limited amount of armor.  
  For 2 points casting cost, it bypasses the first point of DR.  
  For 4 points casting cost, it bypasses the first 2 points of DR.  
  For 6 points casting cost, it bypasses the first 3 points of DR.  
  Higher levels are not possible with this spell. The effect is similar to the Penetrating Blade enchantment. The 
  spell has no effect on unarmored targets, but it will help against creatures with natural armor. Be careful to 
  turn off the spell before sheat hing a blade; a "Gated Weapon" might cut from inside its sheathe.  
  The spell may be cast on a single missile weapon(such as a knife, arrow or bullet) but not on a missile 
  launcher (such as a bow or gun).  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Casting Cost: 2, 4, or 6; half to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Create Door or Create Gate or Phase.  
  Hidey-Hole 
   Area 
  Allows the mage to create a "pocket dimension" whose only entrance corresponds to a certain location (or 
  object) in this universe.  
  The "door" to this dimension must be cast on a solid object large enough to admit the mage (typically a door 
  or wall) and can be opened and closed at will by the mental command of the caster or people designated by 
  the caster. The extradimensional space is a featureless gray sphere which is lit by a dim light, though the 
  caster can alter the dimensions of the space as long as volume remains constant. The space is assumed to 
  automatically have a temperature and atmosphere that i s comfortable to the caster, irregardless of the 
  conditions outside the "door", but air in the space is finite unless replenished by magic or by opening the 
  "door" to a source of air (like the outside world). If the caster wants to change the properties o f the 
  extradimensional space, he will have to use magic to change them. The sphere can hold up to 500 lbs. per 
  hex.  
  
   144 
  If the "door" is destroyed or the weight capacity of the space is exceeded, the space and everything 
  contained within it is lost in the dimension of the space.  
  Duration: 1 minute

  Prerequisite : Magery, Hideaway 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Implode Regular, Resisted by HT 
  Implode creates a small spatial distortion within a subject's body. The distortion creates extra space inside 
  their body, so that everything moves inwards causing the subject severe injury. Golems, elementals, 
  insubstantial creatures and the rotting unde ad are not affected. Undead who are not rotting, such as 
  vampires, take 1/2 damage. This spell cannot be blocked or dodged and armor offers no protection.  
  Base Cost: 1 per 1d damage up to 3d 
  Time to Cast: 1 second per die of damage.  
  Prerequisites: Create Gate 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Insubstantial Object 
   Area, Regular 
  This spell makes a single object that the mage touches completely insubstantial in respect to all items 
  except the mage's hand or body. For example, a door can be made insubstantial so that a mage can push it 
  open even if it is barricaded on the other si de, since the door will just swing through the barricade.  
  Objects made insubstantial are not made invisible, so even though a mage could throw or fire missiles 
  through an insubstantial object, he would still be shooting blind (-10 to hit). Missiles which are made 
  insubstantial will go through walls and the like , but will do no damage if they hit.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 4 per hex or for 100 lb. of material affected, whichever is more, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Phase 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Magic Chest 
   Regular 
  This spell allows the caster to magically transport a container to the ethereal plane and retrieve it whenever 
  he wishes from any location.  
  In order to cast the spell, the mage must have a suitable container and some sort of talisman (which could 
  be a key to a chest, a small replica of the large container, or something else the GM deems suitable) to draw 
  the container to his location from th e ethereal plane. If the talisman is lost or stolen, the larger container will 
  be drawn to the location of the talisman when the spell ends. If the talisman is destroyed, the larger 
  container is lost in the ethereal plane.  
  The mage can end the spell at any time by summoning the larger container or by willing the larger container 
  to be permanently lost in the ether. If the mage doesn't consciously end the spell, the container will be 
  summoned to the location of the talisman when the spell ends.  
  Containers in the ethereal plane are generally safe, but there is a chance that someone or something might 
  find the chest. Roll 3d6 when the container is first placed in the ether and once per week thereafter, on a 17 
  or 18, someone has interfered with t he container. What they do with it depends on the nature of the 
  container, its contents and what protective spells the mage has placed on it. The GM should be creative.  
  Duration: 1 day 
  Base Cost: 1 per 10 lbs. of material affected, same to maintain. A chest can be permanently 
  enchanted with this spell for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute

  Major Gated Weapon 
   Regular 
  When this spell is cast on a weapon, the weapon can bypass a significant amount of armor. Each level 
  reduces effective DR by a factor of 2. Be careful to turn off the spell before sheathing a blade; a "Major 
  Gated Weapon" might cut from inside its sheathe. 
  The spell may be cast on a single missile weapon(such as a knife, arrow or bullet) but not on a 
  missile launcher (such as a bow or gun). Duration: 10 seconds Casting Cost: 4 points per level; 
  same to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Gated Weapon. 
  Planar Travel 
   Regular 
  This spell is similar to the Open Gate spell, except that the mage can travel between planes without having 
  to create or open a gate. The farther the "distance" between the mage's home dimension and the dimension 
  the mage wishes to travel to, the greater the cost and the skill penalty.  
  "Distance" is determined by how similar to the new dimension is to the mage's home dimension. Changes in 
  overall mana level, tech level, physical laws, dominant life form, and so forth each count as a degree of 
  change.

  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Open Gate 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Planar Window  
   Information; Area 
  A planar window allows the mage to "look into" another plane. The amount of area which can be viewed by 
  a mage at any one time depends on the energy put into the spell. Unlike other spells, this spell can be 
  moved so that the caster can shift the area he is looking at a Move equal to the mage's skill with this spell.  
  Unless the caster specifies a given, known location, his window will open into a random part of the plane he 
  wishes to see. If the caster has previously viewed or visited a given part of a plane, he may view that area 
  by means of this spell if he specifi es the location when he begins casting the spell and can make an IQ roll 
  (or Area Knowledge +4 roll) to find the place.  
  Depending on the nature of the plane, the denizens of that plane might be able to see the caster as he 
  observes them. In some circumstances, this could result in extra-planar beings tracking down the mage!  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5, plus 2 points per hex, half to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Planar Summons 
  Magic Item: Lens or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Planeshift Object (VH) 
   Regular, Area, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the mage to transport an object or area to another plane.  
  If this spell is cast on an object that is being held, carried or used by another creature, the owner is allowed 
  a roll vs. Will to resist the spell's effects. Likewise, if this spell is cast on an area, everyone in the area of 
  effect is allowed a roll v s. Will to avoid being transported.  
  If cast on an area, the soil or earth under the area to a depth of 6 feet is also transported. Those who resist 
  the spell are magically relocated to the new "ground level" when the spell takes effect, and again when the 
  spell ends.  
  
   146 
  The area transported is automatically transported to solid ground in the new plane and the existing terrain on 
  the new plane is displaced to the sides of the transported area. No harm is done to creatures or structures 
  either from the transported area or the new location. If the transported area is transported to an area which 
  has no solid surface like the middle of the ocean or high in the air it will magically become stable in its new 
  location, becoming an island or a "floating island".  
  In other respects, the new terrain (and its inhabitants) conforms to the physical laws of the new plane and, to 
  some degree, becomes part of the new plane. For example, a wooden house transported to the plane of fire 
  would not be consumed by flames, thou gh it might seem to burn continuously without being consumed.  
  In other details this spell is exactly like the Planeshift Other spell.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 5 per 50 lb. of material or per hex, same to maintain. An area can be permanently 
  enchanted with this spell for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Planeshift Other 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. Mage Only.  
  Portable Hole 
   Enchantment 
  This spell creates a "portable hole" a small extra-dimensional area which can be "picked up" and carried 
  around.  
  A portable hole appears to be a circle or square of thick black felt which will loosely adhere to any 
  reasonably flat surface. However, unlike a piece of felt, the hole is immune to all forms of damage. On a DX-
  4 (or Throwing skill) roll it can be thrown so that it will unroll and stick to a surface from a distance. When 
  rolled out flat, on a word of command, the hole will turn into a "gate" between the owner's world and an 
  extra-dimensional space.  
  The size of the extra-dimensional space is determined by the enchanter and can't be changed once the Hole 
  is created. It is created using the Extra-Dimensional Space Enchantment. (The spell allowing the Hole to 
  exist is created first, then the extra-dime nsional space is enchanted into it.) If the weight or volume of the 
  extra-dimensional space is exceeded, the hole will vanish and anything inside the hole will go to wherever 
  the extra-dimensional space was located. While in use a hole is completely invul nerable to all forms of 
  damage since it turns to "empty space" while in use.  
  On a word of command, the hole turns back into a piece of "black felt", temporarily closing the "gate" to the 
  extra-dimensional space. When deactivated, the Hole can be picked up, or folded up and carried around. 
  Objects inside the extra-dimensional spac e take up no weight or volume in the owner's dimension.  
  Portable Holes can not be placed inside each other, nor can they be activated within the area affected by a 
  Hidey-Hole, Deep Pockets, or Hideaway spell. Nor can any of these spell be activated inside a portable 
  hole. Doing so destroys both the hole and t he other item, and throws the contents of both the Hole and the 
  other spell into Darkest Beyond.  
  Base Cost: 500, plus cost of Extra-dimensional Space and Password spells.  
  Prerequisite : Open Gate, Extra-dimensional Space, Hideaway, Password 
  Possession from Beyond  
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell works like Possession save that the caster possesses a creature in a different plane. If the caster 
  can see into the plane in question, a host may be picked out this way. If the caster cannot see into the plane 
  in question, a host will be ch osen at random from whoever or whatever is nearby. Once a host is 
  possessed, the mage may then cast Permanent Possession if the mage so wishes and knows the spell.  
  Duration: 1 Minute.  
  Base Cost: 12 to cast, 5 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 6 Minutes.  
  Prerequisites: Possession, Planar Visit.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  Quick Change 
   Regular, resisted by Will+2 
  
   147 
  This spell is identical to the Disrobe spell, except that the clothing and equipment that the subject is wearing 
  can be replaced by any other clothing and equipment that is within 10 hexes of the subject.  
  For double cost, the mage can switch the clothing and equipment worn by two people, one of whom may be 
  the mage. If either (or both) subjects are unwilling they both get Will rolls to resist, and if either one succeeds 
  the spell fails.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 4, can't be maintained. For double cost the mage can switch the clothing and equipment 
  of two people.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Reassemble 
   Area 
  This spell operates a bit like a rewind button. When cast, any objects in that area that were once part of a 
  now-broken whole will back up and temporarily rejoin with other pieces. For example, broken bits of pottery 
  will resume the shape of their vessel , or fallen buttons will hop back onto a garment.  
  An extremely powerful caster could restore fallen castle walls or push an avalanche back up a hill. This does 
  not restore the broken object, but rather puts the pieces into their original position. In the case of the castle 
  wall, the pieces are likely to stay where they came from, since they were originally stacked up. A broken cup 
  or window, however, will fall apart again when the spell expires. 
  Once an object is reassembled, the caster may attempt to make the reassembly permanent. However, this 
  roll is at -5, plus an additional -1 for every square yard the ritual initially drew material from. A very skilled 
  adept might rebuild an entire house o r mountainside, although most will only be able to fix cups and 
  windows. Permanently reassembling an object will only fix the pieces together, not create new pieces to fill 
  in gaps.  
  Base Cost: 2 for up to 10 lbs. Of material affected, or 6 per hex, same to maintain Duration: 10 
  seconds 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Reverse 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Redirect Teleport 
   Area, resisted by spell 
  This spell "grabs" anyone who is attempting to teleport or "gate" into or out of a given area (or who is 
  attempting to magically penetrate the area via time-travel or extra-dimensional travel) and relocates them to 
  a location specified by the mage who ca st the spell (usually a holding cell). This alternate location must be 
  within 100' of the area protected by the spell, unless the mage enchants a device to allow intruders to be 
  teleported further away.  
  Treat this as a contest of skills between the Teleporter (or Time- or Dimension-Traveller) and the skill of the 
  mage who cast the Redirect Teleport spell. If the Teleporter is able to roll under his Teleport skill AND he 
  wins the contest of skills, he su ccessfully foils the redirection attempt and teleports to his original 
  destination. If he fails his skill roll but wins the contest of skills, or if he loses the contest of skills, but the 
  defending mage fails his skill roll he is "bounced" back to the po int where he came from. If he loses the 
  contest of skills and the defending mage makes his skill roll, the intruding mage is redirected to the location 
  of the defender's choice, typically unpleasant. Note, that if a mage successfully rolls vs. his Mage Sense 
  ability before he teleports, he will be able to detect the presence of this spell, though he won't know it for 
  what it is unless he casts the Detect Magic, Analyze Magic or Detect Beacons spell, o r unless he rolls a 
  Critical Success on his Mage Sense roll.  
  Duration: 1 day 
  Base Cost: 3 per hex, this spell can be made permanent for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Teleport Shield, Divert Teleport 
  Retrieve 
   Regular, Resisted by ST 
  This spell lets the Mage quickly retrieve an item, usually from a pouch, pocket, or pack on the Mage's body. 
  When the spell is cast, the desired object will appear in the mages hand (or some other appropriate place on 
  
   148 
  the mages body), though it will take a second to ready the item unless the mage has the Fast Draw skill for 
  that item.  
  The basic usage assumes that the Mage is familiar with the object, and has touched and seen the object 
  recently. If the Mage has not seen the object recently, apply the Teleport penalties as for a destination which 
  has not been seen recently. If the Mage has never touched the object, add an additional -5 penalty. Add a 
  penalty of -1 per yard range if the object is not in the Mage's immediate possession. If another intelligent 
  being has the object, a resistance roll vs. ST is required. If that being is ho lding or actively using the object, 
  give a +4 to the save. If the subject is wearing the object (like a shirt) he gets +8 to save. If the item is held 
  or worn loosely (like a hat) then the resistance roll is only at +2.  
  If the mage is using this spell to magically pick a pocket or to retrieve a random, unseen item from a 
  container, the GM can roll randomly to determine what the mage gets, but the mage is at an additional -4 to 
  skill. If the mage has a knows the type of object what he wants (a ring, a coin, a piece of paper) then he is at 
  -2 to skill, however, he still gets a random item if the subject has more than one object of the desired type on 
  his body. If the mage has cast the Seeker or Trace spell on an object, o r if the object is on the mages body 
  (or very close for things that are in backpacks or pouches) then these penalties don't apply and the mage 
  gets to choose the item he gets.  
  If the mage attempts to pick up a heavy item which he cant see, then he will instantly become aware of this 
  fact when he casts the spell. At that point he has the option of spending extra Fatigue or HT or canceling the 
  spell, losing only the basic energy cost.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 1 per pound, round up. Can't be maintained.  
  Prerequisites: Apportation, Know Location 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Reverse Object (VH) 
   Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This powerful spell makes a sin gle object reverse its path through time as if it were on a motion picture film 
  was played backwards. For example, a glass would "unshatter" as it lifts off the floor and rises through the 
  air to the subject's hand. Arrow s fly backwards to the bow and the bow "draws" in the subject's hand. 
  Damage and even death can be reversed by means of this spell, but it must be cast almost instantly after 
  the damage is done.  
  In order to cast this spell, the caster must focus on one single, discreet event done by a single person not 
  more than 1 minute before the spell is cast and either the subject or the object of the spell cannot have 
  moved since the action the mage wishes to reverse. If the subject of the spell is unwilling, he may resist with 
  IQ, otherwise a successful roll will allow the action to be reversed. For example, an arrow that kills a man 
  could be reversed and the man restored to life if either the archer or th e victim didn't move from the hex 
  where the action occurred. If either the archer or the victim moved or more than a minute has passed this 
  spell won't work. Likewise, if more than one event contributed to an event, this spell won't work. For 
  example, if the object was killed by being engulfed in flames over a period of time there would be no one, 
  discreet event that the mage could reverse (unless he could reverse the flames igniting the subject in the 
  first place).  
  If the mage uses this spell to "undo" damage to a living subject the Base Cost is doubled. If the mage uses 
  this spell to resurrect someone, the Base Cost is tripled!  
  Base Cost: 2 for an object up to 10 lbs. or 3 per 50 lbs. of material. Double cost if this spell is used 
  to "undo" damage to a living subject. If the mage uses this spell to resurrect someone, the Base 
  Cost is tripled!  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Time to Cast: 30 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Time Stop, Time Portal, 6 other Gate spells.  
  Rift in Causality 
   Area, resisted by Will 
  This peculiar spell creates an area where cause doesn't necessarily follow effect and where anything can 
  happen.  
  As a default, the GM must assume that anything that happens in the area doesn't have the usual effect - 
  weapons don't damage the people they hit, dropped objects don't fall, running characters don't move forward 
  
   149 
  - but that something happens. The GM can e ither determine what actually happens or else he can roll 3d6 
  and consult the Reaction table. A 3 produces a terrible effect, an 18 produces a wonderful effect (from the 
  caster's point of view) and a 9 or 10 produces a result that, while possibly differen t, isn't that much different 
  from what would have happened normally.  
  For example, if the GM was attempting to determine what the effects of a sword blow on the mage would be, 
  then an 18 might mean that the sword hit 5 times or it hit with the weight of a 300 lb. weight, a 10 might 
  mean that the sword did 1 point of damage to a number of hit locations on the mage's body, and a 3 might 
  mean that the sword vanished.  
  Fortunately, creatures in the area of effect can literally "bend reality to their Will" and make things happen 
  "normally" by making a Will roll.  
  So, if in the example above, the swordsman made a successful Will roll before he struck at the mage, then 
  all his subsequent actions for that turn would be "normal" and would be unaffected by the spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Energy Cost: 4, same to maintain. An area can be permanently enchanted with this spell for 25 
  times the Base Cost.  
  Prerequisites: Magery, Time Travel 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. Mage Only.  
  Seal 
   Area, resisted by ST + Will or Will 
  When cast on a portal, gate, or container this spell prevents extraplanar creatures from passing through the 
  doorway or escaping from the container.  
  Extradimensional creatures must win a contest of skills between the mage's skill plus any energy put into the 
  spell vs. the creature's ST plus Will. Terrestrial creatures must win a contest of Will vs. spell. In any event, 
  any creature passing through th e door takes 1d6 points of damage for every 5 points of damage put into the 
  spell before the spell winks out of existence.  
  Duration: 24 hours 
  Base Cost: 4, plus 2 per hex affected, plus 1 point per extra point of skill in a contest of skills. Same 
  to maintain. Can be made permanent (until breached) for 10 times Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Dimension Block 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Sequester 
   Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to "take himself out of time". The mage winks out of time to an extra dimensional 
  space where time passes at an accelerated rate. Then he winks back into his normal plane of existence just 
  a moment after he left it.  
  This spell will allow the mage to seem to make complex decisions, take long actions, or cast lengthy spells 
  in no time. However, the energy costs to cast this spell must be paid before the mage sequesters himself 
  and fatigue lost due to the sequester spe ll can't be regained while the mage is sequestered.  
  Duration: 1 minute per casting (effects appear "instantaneous")  
  Base Cost: 6 per minute. Can't be maintained.  
  Prerequisite : Hidey-Hole 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. 
  Shared Volume 
  Area 
  When cast, this space allows one solid object to be placed within another solid object for the Duration of the 
  spell with no ill-effects to either object. Two masses can, literally, occupy the same space.  
  In order for the spell to work, the smaller volume must be placed in the larger volume. Otherwise, the larger 
  volume will "stick out" of the smaller volume. At the end of the spell, the smaller object will be ejected into 
  the nearest unoccupied space adj acent to the object which contained it. If no adjacent space of sufficient 
  volume is available, the smaller object will vanish irretrievably.  
  The cost of the spell is based on both the weight of the material to be placed within the larger volume and 
  the volume to be affected.  
  
   150 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 per hex affected, plus 1 per 10 lbs. of material affected, same to maintain. This spell 
  can be made permanent for 25 times the Base Cost of the spell.  
  Prerequisite : Hideaway 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Sheath  
   Regular 
  When this spell is cast, it creates a strong link between the subject and an object and then hides the object 
  in a small extra -dimensional space. This allows the item to be hidden until a word of command is spoken, 
  then the item will magically appear in the subject's hand (or appropriate place on his body).  
  The item will be invisible to the See Invisible advantage and See Invisible spells, however, Detect Magic, 
  Mage Sense, and Magery will be able to detect something magical about the character. Only on a critical 
  success will the presence of the sheath be noted, and even then it is impossible to determine what is in the 
  sheath short of mind -reading or divination. If the item in the sheath might be a danger to the character, 
  Detect Foes or the Danger Sense advantage will register the presence of danger.  
  An additional benefit of the sheath is that while the object is in the extra-dimensional space, it is weightless 
  as far as its user is concerned. However, once the sheath spell is triggered (or if it ends without being 
  triggered) then the item pops into existence and the spell is ended.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 2 per pound of material, 1 to maintain. This spell can be made permanent on an object 
  for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Deep Pockets, Loyal Sword 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. 
  Skip Day 
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  This is a limited version of the time travel spell which allows the subject to jump forward in time, skipping a 
  day.  
  When the spell is cast, the subject appears exactly as he was, in exactly the same place he was, 24 hours in 
  the future. To people left behind, the subject appears to "vanish" and then "reappear" the next day. 
  Unfortunately, it is the nature of the spell that the subject can never revisit the lost time.  
  Duration: 24 hours (effect on the subject is instantaneous).  
  Base Cost: 5 points, can't be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Open Gate 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. Mage only. 
  Sniper's Alley  
  Special 
  Sniper's Alley shortens the distance between any two points which the mage can see along a 1 hex wide 
  "corridor". Though the nature of the space is such that living creatures cannot travel along it, small objects 
  can travel between the two points making this spell ideal for missile weapon users.  
  Generally, the mage will create a corridor running from a friendly archer (or gunman, or other missile 
  weapon user) to just in front of a target, allowing the archer to fire at the target with no (or reduced) penalty 
  for range. To people who cannot see " down the corridor" the space appears to be normal, but to people 
  adjacent to the linked hexes the target appears to be much closer. Of course, the benefits of this spell work 
  both ways, so a quick-minded target might be able to shoot at the archer the spe ll was cast to help! Subtle 
  mages try to work around this effect by not quite extending the "alley" to the target. An IQ-1 roll is required to 
  notice an "alley" in an adjacent hex if the victim is looking in the direction of the spell. Due to spatial dist 
  ortion, a critical success on an IQ roll is required to notice an alley in another hex. If the target is expecting 
  the use of this spell, then they can roll vs. IQ-2 to notice a Sniper's Alley spell "aimed" towards them, 
  otherwise, they may roll vs. IQ-4 to notice the faint distortion or the "weird" behavior of missiles fired down its 
  length.  
  
   151 
  The "power" of the Sniper's Alley spell is measured in levels. The first level halves the distance between the 
  shooter and his target, the next level divides the distance by 1/3, the next level divides the distance by 1/4 
  and so on.  
  The alley can be dispelled any time the mage so wishes, but cannot be moved. If the target moves, the 
  mage must recast the spell or hope that the target moves back "into view". Anything living that enters a 
  Sniper's Alley from either end automatically fa lls unconscious. (If a character has previously encountered 
  this aspect of the Sniper's Alley spell they get an IQ+2 roll to remember before they start to move.) The 
  Sniper's Alley cannot be entered from the sides - indeed, from the sides, it seems not to exist, although any 
  missile thrown down it is still visible and may be intercepted from the side.  
  The mage can also observe down the Sniper's Alley, negating penalties to Vision rolls due to long distances.  
  Base Cost: 2 plus 1 point per additional level, same to maintain.  
  Duration: 10 Seconds.  
  Time to Cast: 4 seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Create Gate 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Staggered Teleport 
   Regular 
  The purpose of Staggered Teleport is to avoid pursuers using the Trace Teleport Spell. The Staggered 
  Teleport spell is cast concurrently with the Teleport spell. For every three points (or fraction thereof) by 
  which the Staggered Teleport spell roll is made, the subject of the Teleport spell will stop for one second 
  only at a random but safe place between their point of origin and their final destination. Any casting of Trace 
  Teleport will show only the next stop, and not the final destination. Of cours e, if the pursuer realizes that the 
  quarry has teleported again, he can follow the staggered teleporter by casting Trace Teleport again and 
  Teleporting to the next stop. However, the risk of failure and fatigue cost is likely to be so high that the 
  pursue r will give up the chase.  
  Base Cost: Half the Base Cost of the Teleport spell, rounded down (minimum 3).  
  Duration: 1 second per stop.  
  Prerequisites: Trace Teleport, Rapid Journey.  
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Summon Faeries 
   Regular 
  Calls to any Faerie, nature, rural or household spirits in the area.  
  The spell is actually more of a Contact than a Summons. Whether or not the Faerie respond, and what they 
  do once they arrive is entirely up to the Faerie.  
  The range of this spell depends on what sort of faerie are in the area. Minor household spirits can only hear 
  it from about half a mile. Some of the Seelie Court can hear the Call anywhere in the world.  
  Duration: 12 hours or until faerie arrives, whichever is less.  
  Base Cost: 3 points, same to maintain.  
  Prerequisites: Locate Otherworld Gate 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Switch Location 
   Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell causes the wizard and the victim to instantly switch places. The wizard has to be able to see the 
  victim.  
  Alternately, the mage can switch two subjects, but both subjects are allowed a Will roll to resist and if either 
  one resists, the spell fails.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 10 points, can't be maintained.  
  Prerequisite : Teleport 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. 
  Teleport Anchor  
  Regular, resisted by Will or spell. 
  
   152 
  This spell locks the subject into one particular place in space/time. While the spell is in effect, the subject 
  cannot Time Travel, Dimension Travel, or Teleport.  
  If a creature is partially in one plane and partially in another, this spell forces the creature to occupy just one 
  plane. This either traps it on the plane where the mage cast the spell, or banishes it to another plane.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5, 3 to maintain.  
  Prerequisites: Teleport Block, Dimension Block 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. (b) Jewelry or Clothing. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can't be removed. Energy Cost: 250 point s. 
  Temporal Fugue 
   Regular 
  This spell allows the subject to randomly and rapidly transport himself several fractions of a second ahead or 
  behind the "current" time.  
  This means when a spell or blow "hits" the mage, he might not really be there at that exact moment and the 
  blow will miss. This makes the subject at -6 to be hit by any blow or instantaneous spell and halves the 
  amount of damage he takes from wounds whic h penetrate armor, but the subject is at -2 to Block or Parry 
  blows or to target blows or spells while the spell is in effect.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 5, 4 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Blink 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 300 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Time Block 
   Area, resisted by Spell 
  This spell prevents the use of the Time Travel or Timeslip spells in the area. In order for these spells to 
  work, they must win a contest of skills at -4 vs. the Time Block spell.  
  This spell works normally as time advances, but there is also a "shadow" effect which extends both forward 
  and backwards in time from the time when the spell is cast. As the distance in time from the time when the 
  spell was origin ally cast increases, the "shadow" gets weaker.  
  Time Block and Timeslip spells cast up to a month earlier or later are at -3 to skill, up to six months earlier or 
  later are at -2 to skill, up to a year earlier or later are at -1, and up to 10 years before or after are resisted 
  normally.  
  The mage who cast the Time Block spell and those he designates (when the spell is cast or at any time in 
  the future or past) are immune to the residual effects of their own Time Block spells.  
  Optionally, the mage can cast the Time Block spell on a location at a time other than his own. However, he 
  casts the spell at the same time penalties as if he were trying to Time Travel to that time.  
  Duration: 1 day (plus shadow effects)  
  Energy Cost: 5, same to maintain. Each doubling of cost gives an additional -4 to overcome the 
  resistance. An area can be permanently Time Blocked for 50 times the Base Cost.  
  Prerequisites: Magery, Time Travel 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Time Flies (VH)  
  Regular 
  This spell is similar to the Slow spell, but instead of making characters move more slowly, this spell makes 
  the timestream around the subjects move more quickly.  
  Thus, a character under the effects of this spell will see the world rush by him in a blur of motion. This spell 
  has several effects. As a combat spell it is devastating, since to unaffected characters the victim seems to 
  stand still as he is hacked to p ieces. The spell has more peaceful uses though. It can be used to allow 
  characters to rest or heal "more quickly" than normal.  
  Every two points of energy put into the spell doubles the rate at which time appears to pass and effectively 
  doubles the rate at which fatigue is recovered, wounds are healed, and so forth. Mages under the effect of 
  this spell can still cast spells, but they do so much more slowly relative to those not affected by the spell. To 
  
   153 
  their point of view their spell effects last much longer than normal (and even missile spells appear to creep 
  towards their targets), however, to outside viewers, their spell effe cts appear to be normal.  
  Duration: 1 minute (normal time)  
  Base Cost: 4 per hex of creature plus 2 for each doubling of time passage, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Speed Time 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1.000 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works 
  for wearer only. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Timeshift Object (VH) 
   Regular, Area, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the mage to transport an object or area to another time.  
  If this spell is cast on an object that is being held, carried or used by another creature, the owner is allowed 
  a roll vs. Will to resist the spell's effects. Likewise, if this spell is cast on an area, everyone in the area of 
  effect is allowed a roll v s. Will to avoid being transported.  
  If cast on an area, the soil or earth under the area to a depth of 6 feet is also transported. Those who resist 
  the spell are magically relocated to the new "ground level" when the spell takes effect, and again when the 
  spell ends.  
  The area transported is automatically transported to the same geographic location and elevation in the new 
  time if possible. Otherwise, it is shifted so that it is as near as possible to its "original" coordinates while still 
  being on solid land. The str uctures and creatures in the "target time" are magically displaced around the 
  transported area.  
  In other details this spell is exactly like the Timeshift Others spell, including the skill penalties for "temporal 
  distance".  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5 per 50 lb. of material or per hex, same to maintain. An area can be permanently 
  enchanted with this spell for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Timeport Other 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. Mage Only.  
  Time-Stop (VH)  
   Area 
  This spell causes time in the area of effect to be stopped, as if the Suspend Animation spell had been cast 
  on the area. Anything entering the area of the spell is magically "stopped" on the edge of the spell area until 
  the spell ends.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 10, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Suspend Animation 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  Worldwalk 
   Special 
  This spell will allow a person to wander to or from a dimension or plane that is closely linked to another 
  world or plane. For example, you could walk between Arcadia and Earth or vice-versa.  
  In order for the spell to work, you must be in an area which would pass, by sight, as both part of worlds - a 
  thick forest, for instance, if you were attempting to travel between Earth and Arcadia.  
  The caster must then travel aimlessly through this area for a matter of days until s/he makes the crossing at 
  some undefined point. Even when the crossing has been made, the caster will not know it without some 
  outside evidence. Because the casting takes so long, there is no fatigue cost.  
  The spell is only broken, while it is being cast, if one loses ones intention to get to the other dimension, or if 
  one becomes well oriented, say by stumbling across a city that you know of. When wandering aimlessly, it is 
  all right to attempt to avoid such known areas by striking out in a roughly opposite direction.  
  Base Cost: 0 
  Time to Cast: 3d6 days, minus skill, plus the number of people being transported.  
  Prerequisites: Native of "mirror" dimension or Gate 
  
   154 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Void (VH) 
   Regular 
  This spell opens a 3' diameter temporary gate into interstellar vacuum.  
  In any environment which has an atmosphere, the void will immediately begin sucking air (or water, if 
  underwater) from the atmosphere. This has the effect of producing a Whirlwind (or a Whirlpool if 
  underwater), as the spell, focused on the Void hex. Any creature sucked into the Whirlwind (or Whirlpool) is 
  sucked through the gate in 1d6 seconds and is hurled into the darkness of outer space.  
  Victims caught in vacuum will begin to Suffocate, and will take 1d6 -3 points of damage per turn as their 
  bodily fluids begin to boil away and their internal gasses begin to erupt from their orifices. In addition, the 
  victim must roll vs. HT every 10 seco nds or become Deafened (their eardrums burst) and Blinded (their 
  eyeballs burst).  
  In addition, the victim will being "flying" away from the gate at the same speed that they attained when they 
  were sucked through the gate. Unless magic is used to control their movement (Flight would work, as would 
  strategically aimed Air Jets) they wil l float helplessly in the void.  
  Victims who are sucked through the gate can only be brought back into the world they came from by means 
  of magic (Teleport, Apportation, or Flight would allow work) and if they die they are probably lost to the void 
  forever. Finding a body in an interste llar void would require multiple use of the Planar Window and 
  Divination spells. Retrieving the body would require a variation on the Planar Summons spell.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 20 points, 10 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Open Gate 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 2,500 points.

  Elemental Spirit and Common 
  Elemental Spells 
  These spells either have to do with summoning and controlling creatures from the elemental planes of earth, 
  air, fire or water, or else they are spells which are known in some form by all four colleges of Elemental 
  Magic. However, each college's variant of the same spell is a different skill. 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic  
  Summon Elemental and Create Elemental - The mage can attempt to extend the Duration of this spell if 
  he can win a contest of skills vs. his spell skill vs. the ST and HT of the elemental. If the mage attempts to 
  extend his control of the elemental and fails, the elemental reacts to him at -4 (cumulative) and might attack. 
  Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Summon Elemental Control Elemental Create Elemental 
  New Spells 
  Alter Properties of Element 
  Area 
  Gives one element the properties of another. The substance created obeys physical laws like original 
  material but has properties of material it was transmuted into. For example, air transmuted earth would look 
  like air and could be breathed like air, but would fall to the ground if dropped and could be handled. Details 
  are up to the GM.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 4 per hex, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Magery, 5 spells each in all four elemental colleges.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 500 to create. Usable only by a mage. 
  Banish Elemental  
  Regular, resisted by ST 
  Causes nearby elementals to be banished from an area where they are present. If the caster is attempting to 
  banish an elemental under the control of another mage, there must be a contest of skills (elemental spell vs. 
  banish elemental spell) to see if the elemental is banished. If cast on an area before an elemental is 
  summoned, the spell causes the summoning to fail.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 6 to cast, 3 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Summon Elemental 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 1,000 to create. Usable only by a mage.

  Regular, resisted by HT 
  
   156 
  This spell creates an area of contact poison about 2 feet square, which, when touched, will turn the creature

  Elemental Water would turn to water and flow away. Alternately, the caster can attempt to poison the victim 
  by touching him.  
  Duration: 1 hour or until discharged (the effects of the poison are permanent.)  
  Base Cost: 5, can't be maintained

  Elemental Power 
  Special 
  This spell is identical to the Draw Power spell, except that the mage can draw power from the heat or energy 
  within a specific sort of element. Fire mages can pull energy from fire or sources of tremendous heat (like 
  volcanoes). Water mages can draw power from the energy within falling or moving water. Air mages can 
  draw power from wind or storms and Earth mages can draw power from energy within the earth - either heat 
  within the earth (from volcanoes) or energy (such as fault lines or landslides).  
  By using this spell on relatively small areas of potential energy, he can cool them to the ambient 
  temperature. By using this spell a fire mage could reduce or extinguish a fire, or an earth mage could cool 
  hot stone. This provides little or no energy for the mage, but does allow him to cool, slow or quiet natural 
  phenomenon without paying any energy cost.  
  Duration: 1 minute

  Air Spells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic  
  Air Jet - Any Jet spell will do 1d -1 points of damage to disperse a swarm. 
  Predict Weather – This spell will also tell the mage when local sunrise, sunset, moonrise, high tide, etc. will 
  occur. Any predictible astronomical, oceanographic, or meteorological phenonenon which the mage is 
  familiar with and which the GM will allow can be forecast using this spell. 
  Rain - each multiple of energy cost allows the mage to create or prevent an additional inch of rain. i.e. triple 
  cost allows the mage to create three inches of rain. 
  Whirlwind - A fully-developed whirlwind does 1 H.P. of damage per turn to all but the most solidly built 
  structures. People within the whirlwind take 1d-2 points of damage per minute from buffeting and blown 
  objects. Depending on the situation, the G.M. can modify this damage up or down. A whirlwind in a junkyard 
  is going to do more damage than the same spell cast in the middle of a cleanly-swept plaza. Movement 
  within the whirlwind is at 1 hex per turn on the ground. Flying creatures must make a roll vs. Flight-10 or be 
  helplessly swept along with the wind, taking normal damage. Missiles, except for bullets, cannot be fired. 
  Guns cannot be aimed and even unaimed shots are at -4 to hit before range and visibility modifiers are 
  factored in. Each hex blocks visibility like a Fog hex once the whirlwind picks up any wind or water. Rigid 
  melee weapons can be used, but are at -4 to hit. Flexible melee weapons like flails or whips can't be used at 
  all. Anyone using a weapon (or carrying any item) longer than a dagger or a pistol must roll vs. ST -2 per 
  each hex of reach of the weapon or have it ripped from his hand. Shields give their normal PD, but cannot 
  be used to block since the wind blows them about.  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Seek Air - This spell can also be used to seek other types of gas. The mage can exclude known sources of 
  air or gas if he specifies them before casting. 
  Devitalize Air - This spell can also be cast on water to remove the oxygen from it. Creatures in the area of 
  effect who aren't able to escape will begin to suffocate. In open areas where oxygenated water or air can 
  circulate freely, this spell will have no effect beyond making the air or water seem "stale" and causing 1 point 
  of Fatigue to those in the area of effect. 
  Essential Air - Unlike pure oxygen essential air is not explosively flammable nor will it cause health 
  problems for creatures which breathe it. If a high-tech mage uses Essential Air to fill SCUBA tanks, divers 
  who use it are not prone to the Bends or Nitrogen Narcosis from deep diving. Essential Air (like all 
  “Essential” elements) is a magical substance. It can be detected by Mage Sight, Detect Magic and similar 
  spells. If it passes through a No Mana Zone, it reverts to normal air.

  Aerial Servant  
   Special 
  This spell summons an Aerial Servant, a free- willed being from the plane of air which will do the caster's 
  bidding. The Servant will perform one service for the caster as if under the Lesser Geas spell, as long as 
  that task takes no more than a day. Beyond this point, the caster and the Servant must vie for control. In 
  other respects, this spell is like the Unseen Servant spell.

  Disadvantages: Pre-Sentient, Berserk (Special), Duty (Summoner, Rare, Hazardous, Involuntary)  
  Aerial servants are semi-sentient cre atures from the elemental plane of air which are occasionally found on 
  the Astral and Ethereal planes. They are solitary and seem to wander aimlessly unless they are on a 
  mission. 
  They are invisible on earth or the elemental plane of air, but if encountere d in the Astral or Ethereal plane, 
  they appear as huge, vaguely humanoid, slightly shimmering areas of force. The are only summoned to 
  earth by spells. If successfully summoned, they are bound to complete one task set for them by the 
  summoner before they can return to their home dimension. Typically, Aerial Servants are used as 
  messengers, thieves, and kidnappers by powerful holy men and mages. 
  Aerial servants are very fast and very strong.  
  Their one attack consists of a grappling attack with both arms immediately followed by a constriction attack.  
  They have an effective Wrestling skill of 16 for this attack only, and once a victim is grappled, it is assumed 
  that the Servant can automatically do constriction damage each turn. If a victim can break free of the 
  Servant they don't take damage. Treat this as contest of ST (or Wrestling skills modified by the difference in 
  ST) between the stalker and the victim. Assume that a Servant has a weight of 350 lbs. for purposes of slam 
  attacks and so forth, otherwise they are weightless.  
  They do not fight if it is at all possible, especially when they are on a mission. Their Invisibility, plus their 
  natural Silence allow them to avoid most encounters or surprise any potential foe. If they are involved in 
  combat, they are immune to the attacks of normal weapons. However, magical attacks and magic weapons 
  will still affect them, even if they are Insubstantial. Attempts to grapple a Servant will cause it to become 
  Insubstantial, slipping out of the grappler's grasp. 
  An oddity of Servant psychology (such as it is) is that if they are unable to complete a mission, they go 
  Berserk. They immediately attempt to seek out the person who summoned them and will attempt to kill him. 
  A berserk Servant has double ST, does double damage, and doesn't need to check for death until it's HP 
  are at -HP x 2.

  Causes missiles made of stone, wood, or metal to turn into air just before they hit their target canceling 
  some or all of the damage they might do. This spell will last for 10 seconds or until it successfully vaporize 
  one or more missiles fired at the subject in a given round.  
  Then the magic is dispelled (excess energy put into the spell is lost) and the spell must be maintained or 
  recast. Energy missiles, including magic such as fireballs and lightening bolts or high-tech weapons such as 
  lasers are not affected by this spell. 
  Duration: 10 seconds or until one or more dice of missile damage is dispelled.  
  Base Cost: 3, plus 1 per 3 dice of basic damage to be dispelled. Same to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Purify Air 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Shield.  Energy Cost: 500 plus 150 per die of damage which 
  can be dispelled.  
  Airtight 
   Regular 
  Causes a reasonably well-sealed container (such as a bottle, box or jar) to become airtight. This slows the 
  decay of some materials and prevents dust and other airborne pollutants from getting into the container.  
  This spell can't be used to pasteurize perishable materials unless the container and the material are 
  rendered sterile (either by heating or by magic) after this spell has been cast. 
  Duration: 1 week 
  
   161 
  Base Cost: 1: 1 cu. foot container, 2: 1 cu. yard, 3: 3 cu. yards. This spell can be made permanent 
  for 10 times the base cost. 
  Prerequisite : Destroy Air 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 250 points.  
  Airy Tomb 
   Regular, Resisted by HT 
  The subject magically swept up by a powerful wind which elevates him into a small, permanent cloud about 
  half a mile above the earth. The victim is then put into stasis, though the cloud will float with the prevailing 
  winds. A mage who does this to himself may elect to stay awake. When the spell is canceled or reversed, 
  the subject floats or falls back to earth as the mage desires. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 10, 6 to reverse the enchantment  
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, 5 Air spells. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 1,000 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Analyze Air 
   Information 
  The caster learns everything he wants to know about a sample of air or other gas. Unless the mage has skill 
  in high-tech Chemistry, Meteorology, or a similar skill the amount of in formation he will get is minimal.  
  Untrained use of this spell will allow the caster to detect the presence of readily identifiable scents (smoke, 
  perfume) and particulate matter (fog, dust) as well as determining the basic safety and breathability of the air 
  in a simple summary (e.g. "pure and clean", "stale", "dangerously polluted", "explosive gas"). The GM might 
  allow the mage to determine other simple facts about the air such as temperature, wind speed or how much 
  it varies from "normal" air.  
  To a mage with scientific training, this spell is much more powerful, since it can substitute for a whole host of 
  air quality monitoring tools. It can give a rough chemical breakdown of all the chemicals in a given sample of 
  gas in parts per million, barometric pressure, temperature, exact wind speed and direction, humidity, 
  particulate levels, toxicity, specific gravity, radiation levels and so on. However, each specific scientific test 
  requires a separate casting of this spell. 
  Base Cost: 1, can't be maintained 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds. 
  Prerequisite : Seek Air, 3 Knowledge spells 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry.  Energy Cost: 500 points. (b) Small box which, when 
  opened, and then closed, analyze any gas sample "trapped" inside it. Cost to Create: 500 points.  
  Breeze 
   Regular 
  This spell creates a breeze up to 10 mph in speed. It blows in the direction specified by the caster for the 
  duration of the spell. It has many uses, the most obvious of which is airing out closed areas. Weapon use is 
  unaffected by this spell and only the smallest and lightest items will be picked up. 
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Create Air 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Hand Fan. Cost to Create: 150 points.  
  Bubble Screen  
   Area 
  This spell fills an area with large bubbles which hover in the area and obscure vision. Anyone within the area 
  of effect is at -1 to see or be seen and is at -1 to hit or be hit with a missile weapon per hex of bubbles 
  between them and the target. Melee weapon attacks are at -1 to hit no matter how many hexes of bubbles 
  they pass through. The bubbles can be dispersed or destroyed by virtually any attack which involves fast 
  moving particles, wind, or flame. 
  The real benefit of this spell is when it is cast underwater. Vision and to hit penalties are doubled (-2 per 
  hex) and the bubbles cannot be dispersed.  
  
   162 
  Furthermore, sonar, which isn't affected by Darkness or ink clouds is affected by the bubbles just as if it 
  were normal vision. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 per hex, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Shape Air 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points.  
  Change Air 
  Area 
  Causes the air in an area to be turned into another gas or turns other gasses into breathable air.  
  In order to change air into some other gas, the mage must be familiar with the new gas. Attempts to change 
  air into a rare or very reactive gas (like a radioactive poison gas) is at a minus or is impossible, at the G.M.'s 
  option. Turning a reactive gas to pure air isn't penalized unless the mage is trying to cancel another mage's 
  Stench, Cloudkill or Acid Fog spell. Then treat it as a contest of spell skills. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 3 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Create Air 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 350 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Cloud Ladder 
   Regular 
  The caster can mold and shape ordinary smoke or fog into a misty ladder. This requires a quantity of smoke 
  from some source. Reaching into the smoke, the caster casts the spell while shaping the ladder. The ladder 
  weighs virtually nothing, and one person can easily handle a cloud ladder of any length. The ladder is 
  always steady and rigid; it need not be supported or leaned against an object. The caster simply places it in 
  the desired position and climbs. The ladder can only be used by the caster and those e he designates by 
  spending 2 energy on (reduced normally by skill). The ladder remains in place until the duration ends or the 
  caster wills it to vanish. 
  Duration: 5 minutes 
  Base Cost: 1 for every 5 feet of height, half to maintain. Additional subjects can use the ladder for 2 
  energy points each. 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds for every 5 feet of height. 
  Prerequisite : Shape Air 
  Magic Item: A miniature ladder which will cast this spell. Cost to Create: 350 points. 
  Cloudkill 
   Area; Resisted by HT 
  Creates a billowing cloud of ghastly, yellowish-green, toxic vapors. For each turn that a subject remains in 
  the target they must roll vs. HT. On a successful roll they merely feel sick and lose 2 hit points but can act 
  normally. On a failed roll, they are overcome by the gas. They take 1d+1 hits immediately and are at - 3 to 
  all skills and abilities for as long as they remain in the cloud. Damage is cumulative, penalties to skills are 
  not. 
  The gas has the effect of obscuring vision within and through the cloud. For every 3 hexes of distance 
  through the cloud, Vision and Ranged Weapon attacks are reduced by -1. Melee weapon attacks are not 
  penalized. 
  The cloud is much more cohesive than a normal gas. In "normal" outdoor conditions with wind up to 20 mph, 
  the gas will not disperse for at least a minute. Indoors or underground, the gas might persist for up to an 
  hour, though 20 minutes is much more likely. Only in gusty winds (over 20 mph) will the gas rapidly 
  disperse, but even then it will last at least 10 seconds. The gas will travel in the direction of the wind at the 
  wind's speed. In other respects, the Cloudkill spell is like the Stench spell. 
  Duration: Variable (up to 1 hour indoors, about 10 minutes outdoors, 10 seconds in high winds). 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisite s: Magery, Stench, Fog 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 750 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  
   163 
  Control Odor 
   Area 
  This spell intensifies or reduces an existing odor. The spell will never allow the odor to reach harmful levels 
  or entirely disappear. If cast on a faint, unknown odor to make it more intense, this spell will give +4 to Smell 
  rolls to identify the smell. If used to intensify the odor of a scent trail this spell gives similar bonuses to 
  creatures who track by scent. Likewise, if used to reduce a scent trail, it gives -4 to tracking rolls. 
  If used to intensify an already pungent spell (like skunk musk or rotting garbage) then the GM might rule that 
  anyone who smells the intensified smell must roll vs. HT or become nauseous. Nauseated characters are 
  incapacitated for 10 seconds while they retch. 
  Like most smells, the intensity of the smell depends on the wind and the area. In an open area with high 
  winds or lots of moisture, most of the intensifying effects of this spell will be lost and the smell reducing 
  effects will be slightly enhanced. In an enclosed, still area the effects of an intensified spell will be at their 
  most intense. 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 1, same to maintain. 
  Prerequisite : Shape Air 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Hand Fan. 100 points. (b) Any item (usually an incense 
  burner or sachet) which intensifies or reduces odors in a set area surrounding it. 150 points to 
  create, plus 25 per hex of radius.  
  Cutting Wind 
   Area, resisted by ST 
  When the mage casts this spell, a powerful magical wind springs up which not only buffets those in the area 
  of effect but also magically cuts and tears their bodies. Anyone within the area of effect must roll vs.  
  ST every 10 seconds or take 1d points of damage. In addition, they must win a Contest of ST vs. the 
  wind’s ST of 15 in order to Move against the wind. Those who lose the contest are Knocked Back as 
  if they had been hit by a successful Slam attack. 
  Base Cost: 4, same to maintain. For double cost, the mage can double damage. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Time to Cast: 1 second per point of base cost. 
  Prerequisite s: Magery, Gust of Wind. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points.  
  Deep Breath 
   Regular 
  This spell doubles the length of time that the mage can hold his breath.

  Gusting Winds 
   Area, resisted by ST 
  This spell creates an area of randomly swirling, powerful winds. Anyone in the area must make a 
  successful roll vs. ST each turn or be pushed 1d-3 hexes in a random direction. Creatures which fail 
  their ST roll by 5 or more points are knocked down.

  Invisible Stalker 
   Special 
  This spell summons an Invisible Stalker, a free-willed being from the plane of air to do the caster's bidding. 
  The Stalker will perform one service for the caster as if under the Lesser Geas spell, as long as that task 
  takes no more than a day. Beyond this point, the caster and the Stalker must vie for control. In other 
  respects, this spell is like the Unseen Servant spell.  
  Invisible Stalker ST: 15 Move/Dodge: 6/6 
  Size: 1 DX: 12 PD/DR: 2/5 
  Weight: Special. IQ: 12
   
  Damage: 2d Cr Origin: Fantasy (AD&D Monster Manual) HT: 15/30-35 
  Reach: 1 
  Habitat: 
  Elemental Plane of Air  Fright Check: None 
  Advantages: Infravision, Invisibility, Silence (5 levels), Body of Air (reversible), Magic Resistance (3 levels), 
  Discriminatory Smell 
  Disadvantages: Duty (Summoning, 6-, Hazardous), OPH: Literal Minded (-1) 
  Skills: Stealth 15, Shadowing 15, Tracking 18  
  Invisible Stalkers are invisible beings from the Elemental Plane of Air who are summoned by mages to do 
  their bidding. They are typically used as scouts, spies, thieves, trackers and kidnappers by high level mages. 
  They are smarter and more flexible than Air Elementals, but they are perverse. 
  An Invisible Stalker looks vaguely like a 8' tall tornado when it is in combat, otherwise it looks like a large, 
  vaguely humanoid figure whose legs trail away in a wisp of smoke. Since Invisible Stalkers are, by definition, 
  very few people get to see what they really look like though. 
  An invisible stalker serves only because it is forced to. Simple, uncomplicated tasks don't annoy it that much, 
  but the more the mage asks, the more perverse the stalker will become. Any service beyond a week will tax 
  both the stalker and its master greatly.  
  Roll a contest of IQ's daily between the stalker and the caster. If the caster wins all goes well. If the stalker 
  wins, he figures out some way to interpret his orders so that they cause inconvenience or danger to the 
  mage. If the service lasts beyond a week, the caster and the stalker must have a contest of Wills each day, 
  with +1 to the stalker's Will for each day beyond seven. If the stalker wins, it is free to leave. If the caster 
  wins, it is forced to stay. 
  In combat stalkers attack by whipping up a small hurricane that batters and buffets the victim. This does 2d 
  points of crushing damage. Stalkers prefer to attack from ambush. Since they are invisible, insubstantial, 
  and silent, this is very easy to do. They are also excellent trackers. A stalker can follow the trail of an 
  ordinary being by scent even if it is a day old. If stalkers are killed away from the elemental plane of air, they 
  
   165 
  aren't really killed, they're just banished back to their home plane. Stalkers are normally weightless, but if 
  weight would be an advantage, they have a nominal weight of 500 lbs. 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 25, 10 to maintain (and a contest of Will between the Stalker and the caster is required). 
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Summon Air Elemental, Lesser Geas. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 1,500 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Lighter than Air 
   Regular; resisted by HT 
  This spell allows an object to be made lighter than air, so that it will float away like a helium balloon.  
  The horizontal motion and speed of the object is entirely dependent on the prevailing winds, though the 
  object will rise at approximately 3 feet per turn. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 per 10 lbs. affected, same to maintain. 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Create Air 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 500 points. Usable only by a mage. (b) Jewelry or Clothing.  
  Usable only by the wearer. 300 points.  
  Mask Scent 
  Area 
  All spells within the area of effect are blocked.  
  No scents can be laid down in the affected area and smells from outside the area can't penetrate the 
  masked area. This spell can be cast on a living creature. In that case, the creature essentially has no sense 
  of smell, but he can't be tracked by smell for the duration of the spell. 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 1, same to maintain (2 to cast on a 1 hex creature, same to maintain). 
  Prerequisite : Odor 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 300 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Usable only by wearer.  
  250 points.  
  Move through Air 
  Regular 
  Allows the subject to move through air ignoring the effects of high wind. This spell negates the effects of 
  Whirlwind and Windstorm spells, as well as normal high winds. For example, using this spell, a tight-rope 
  walker or parachutist could ignore the effect of winds as long as this spell was cast on him. Or, a person 
  would walk through a tornado and ignore the effects of its winds. They would not be immune to dam age 
  from objects hurled about by the wind though. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Shape Air 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 350 points. (b) Jewelry. Usable for wearer only. 250 points.  
  Phantom Wind 
   Regular 
  Makes the effects of another Air spell such as Shape Air, Whirlwind, or Updraft undetectable to living 
  creatures. However, the spell will affect non-living objects (including clothing and equipment) normally.  
  This will cause skills which depend on accurate determination of wind speed, like Piloting, Climbing, or 
  missile fire to be at an additional -1 to -3 to penalty depending on how strong the wind is and how sensitive 
  the task is to interference by wind. 
  Duration: 1 minute or until the other spell ends. 
  Base Cost: 2 to cast, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisite s: Magery, Shape Air 
  Magic Item: Jewelry. 350 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  
   166 
  Poke 
   Regular, resisted by DX or ST 
  The Poke spell creates a little rod of concentrated air which the mage can use to poke with at a distance. It 
  is mostly used to distract and annoy foes but it also has peaceful applications (like pressing buttons or 
  touching objects from a safe distance). 
  When determining whether the spell succeeds, use the long-range modifiers for information spells, but 
  otherwise ignore distance - although the caster must be able to see the subject directly. The subject 
  chooses whether to resist with DX or ST. If the resistance is successful, the spell has no effect. If the 
  resistance is unsuccessful, the subject is distracted or his aim with a missile weapon has been spoiled.  
  In the latter case is the amount by which the subject missed his resistance roll is the penalty applied to his 
  skill roll to hit with a missile weapon and any accumulated Aim bonuses are lost. If the subject’s effective 
  skill is reduced below the SS number of the weapon because of the Poke spell, he also must take a -4 Snap 
  Shot penalty if he fires that turn.  
  Melee weapons can also be poked aside, apply half the amount by which the subject missed his roll (-1 
  minimum) as a penalty to hit with a melee weapon. 
  The G.M. should also allow the caster to produce any reasonable effect that might be achieved by a small 
  poke from a thin rod. A candle could be knocked over, for example, or an elevator button pressed. Tricky 
  applications of the Poke spell require the mage to make a roll vs. spell skill and/or DX.  
  Base Cost: 1, can’t be maintained 
  Prerequisite s: Shape Air. 
  Pressure Support 
  Regular 
  Gives the subject the Pressure Support advantage for the duration of the spell. This is also a Water and 
  Protection and Warning spell. 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 2 per level (up to 3 levels), half to maintain.  
  Prerequisite s: Shape Water or Create Air.  
  Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 150 
  points.  
  Pressurize 
   Area, resisted by HT 
  Increases or reduces the air pressure in a given area. Creatures in low pressure areas take increased 
  Fatigue (double normal) and might even pass out (if fatigue goes below 0). Creatures in high pressure areas 
  will eventually become giddy (Roll vs. HT each minute, failure means temporary loss of 1 IQ). In open areas, 
  this spell will have no effect beyond a slight rush of air into or out of the affected area. See GURPS Space 
  for the effects of High or Low pressures. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1, half to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds. 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Create Air.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 250 points.  
  Puff of Breath 
   Regular 
  The target feels a light puff of breath; it will blow out candles, and be noticeable, but not much else. 
  Duration: 1 second 
  Base Cost: 1 
  Magic Item: Jewelry. 50 points. 
  Resist Air 
   Regular 
  This spell makes the subject completely immune to the damaging effects of high winds or poison gas. 
  Damage from physical objects blown by high winds is halved. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  
   167 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 250 points. (b) Jewelry or clothing (usually a cloak). Usable 
  only by wearer. 500 points.  
  Revitalize Air 
   Area 
  Adds oxygen to an area of air or water, allowing it to support life. If there is already sufficient oxygen in the 
  air, this spell will "super-oxygenate" it, making it seem especially refreshing and making flames burn slightly 
  brighter, allowing creatures in it to live 25% longer, but having no other effect. 
  If cast in an area where large amounts of deoxygenated air or water can dilute it, this spell will have no 
  effect, or greatly reduced effect. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 2 per hex 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Create Air 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 250 points. (b) Bag, box or other sealed container which 
  will, when opened, cast this spell on a set area. 250 to create plus 50 per hex of area.  
  Ride the Wind 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  The subject is made nearly weightless but he can control the direction of his movement, effectively allowing 
  him to fly at Move 10, plus or minus the speed of any winds he might encounter. (This means that if the 
  subject is trying to fly into a headwind, he might not make any headway or he might even be pushed back.).  
  The subject can rise or fall at a rate of 3 feet per turn.  
  When the spell ends, the subject doesn’t immediately fall to earth, but instead descends at the maximum 
  speed until they reach the ground. In other respects the spell is exactly like the Lighter Than Air spell. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 per 200 lbs. affected, same to maintain. 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Lighter Than Air 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 500 points. Usable only by a mage. (b) Jewelry or Clothing.  
  Usable only by the wearer. 400 points. Sandstorm - See Earth Spells, above.  
  Smell the Wind 
   Information 
  Allows caster to "smell" the wind, giving him knowledge of what people, places or things lie up to 12 hours 
  upwind. Range is determined by wind speed, but the farther away a thing is the larger it must be to be 
  detected. Small groups of people or animals and campfires are detectable within 5 miles, Large groups of 
  people or animals, large fires, hamlets, streams or roads are detectable within 20 miles, cities, armies, rivers 
  and small geographic features are detec table within 50 miles, geographic features only are detectable 
  beyond that. 
  Base Cost: 5 
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Divination 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 350 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Solid Air 
   Area 
  Fills a space with air which, while normal in all other respects, stays in place. When used in conjunction with 
  spells like Pressurize or Destroy Air this spell allows areas of low or high pressure or even vacuum to be 
  formed in seemingly open areas. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 per hex, 1 to maintain. Can be made permanent for 25 times base cost. 
  Prerequisite : Shape Air 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 250 points. (b) A crystal cube which will generate an area of 
  solid air around it, 200 to create, plus 25 points per hex. Solid Fog - See Water Spells, below.  
  
   168 
  Still Air 
   Area, resisted by IQ 
  The Still Air spell stills the air in an area reducing the effects of winds and making it harder to hear. All 
  Hearing rolls are at -4, but the spell resists all Air and Sound attacks, including those from inside the sphere 
  if the mage can win a contest of skills against the attacking spell. If the mage loses the contest, the spell 
  takes effect normally and the effective skill level of the Still Air spell is reduced by 1 point. 
  Still Air will also reduce winds by the Beaufort Rating of the wind minus the skill of the mage if the mage can 
  win a contest of skills vs. Beaufort rating against the wind every turn. (So a wind with a Beaufort rating of 15 
  would be reduced to level 3 while it is in an Still Air area cast by a mage with skill 12 if the mage won a 
  contest of his skill 12 vs. the wind’s “skill” 15.) If the Still Air spell loses, its effective skill level is reduced by 
  1, just as if the mage had lost a contest of skill against a hostile spell. 
  This spell has no other effect on the weather. 
  Base Cost: 2 to cast, 1 to maintain. 
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds. 
  Duration: 1 minute. 
  Prerequisite s: Shape Air. 
  Stunbolt 
   Missile, resisted by HT 
  The target is struck with sudden blast of intense air pressure. The caster can choose to physically 
  stun (B.106) rather than injure. For each additional point of energy spent on the stun version of this 
  spell, the target's HT rolls are at -2. The missile has SS 13, Acc +2, Max 30. 
  Base Cost: 1 per damage die. Maximum of 3 dice.  
  Each extra point of fatigue gives -2 to HT rolls to Stun. 
  Prerequisite s: Magery, Concussion, 3 other Air spells. 
  Suffocate 
   Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell removes all the oxygen in the victim's body. The victim immediately take 3 points of Fatigue 
  damage and he can't hold his breath any longer. 
  Duration: Instant 
  Base Cost: 2, can't be maintained 
  Prerequisite : Destroy Air. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 300 points. (b) Jewelry or Clothing. Affects wearer only.  
  Always on. Can’t be removed. The subject must roll vs.  
  HT each minute or lose an additional 3 points of Fatigue. When Fatigue reaches 0, the subject falls 
  unconscious and any subsequent damage is taken as HT damage. 250 points.  
  Super Breath 
   Regular 
  Gives the caster the ability to breath out a powerful gust of wind. This will do only knockback damage to 
  most creatures, but will damage vaporous beings and will stun or kill members of a swarm of small 
  creatures. Range is Double the number of dice of damage. Each second the mage can target the spell using 
  the Magic Breath skill (defaults to DX-2) and do damage. 
  Duration: 3 seconds 
  Base Cost: 1 to 3, 1/2 the number of dice of damage, same to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Air Jet 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. 300 points.  
  Unseen Servant 
   Special 
  This spell summons an Unseen Servant, a cowardly, free-willed being from the plane of air. The servant will 
  do a single simple non-combat task the caster requires, as long as it takes less than a day, as if the Servant 
  was under the Lesser Geas spell. 
  
   169 
  The servant has ST 9, DX 10, IQ 9, HT 10 and can Fly at Move 8. It has no effective combat attacks and has 
  the Cowardice disadvantage. If threatened or exposed to danger the Servant immediately gets a Will roll to 
  break free of the spell. 
  Extending the spell requires the caster to win a contest of Wills with the Servant in addition to paying the 
  energy cost to extend the spell. 
  Duration: 1 day 
  Base Cost: 5 points, 3 to extend (and a contest of Will between the Stalker and the caster is 
  required). 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : 5 Air Spells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 500 points.  
  Updraft 
   Area, resisted by ST 
  Creates the air in an area to rise or blow upwards to create an extremely strong area of updraft.  
  The updraft will actually lift objects weighing less than 50 lbs. or flying or gliding creatures who are trying to 
  rise, at the rate of 1 hex per turn. Downward motion of heavier objects is slowed by a like amount . 
  Sufficiently powerful versions of this spell can be used to slow or stop falling objects! The basic version of 
  this spell will lift objects under 50 lbs. and will halve the rate at which heavier objects up to 200 lbs. fall. 
  Increasing the energy doubles the weight of objects which can be lifted or slowed. 
  If cast in front of an unsuspecting flying or gliding creature (or a sufficiently small aircraft), this spell forces 
  the victim to make a roll vs. Flight or Piloting skill to avoid rising with the column of air.  
  Light creatures who do not wish to be lifted into the air (or wish to fall rather than rise) can roll vs. DX to 
  avoid the effects of the spell. 
  Creatures who are standing on the ground are allowed a Resistance roll vs. ST at +2 if they have something 
  solid to grab or +4 if they have several hand- and footholds. The subject gets an additional +1 to his 
  resistance roll for every 150 lbs. of weight beyond 100 lbs. However, if the subject has no solid handholds 
  his ST roll is at -2. 
  The height of the Updraft is limited by the height of the ceiling indoors, but can be up to 25' high outdoors. If 
  the mage wishes to make a taller column of air, he must increase the area to be affected. 
  This spell can also be used as an attack spell.  
  The mage can cast the spell on a victim on the ground and then cancel the spell once the subject reaches 
  maximum height. The target of the spell will then fall back into his hex taking normal damage. 
  The mage can use combination of Shape Air and Rising Wind to create a moving updraft which can be used 
  to move creatures as if they were levitating or flying. A column of air can be moved at the rate of 1 hex per 
  turn. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 per hex, same to maintain. Each doubling of energy doubles the weight which can be 
  affected. 
  Prerequisite s: Gust of Wind 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 500 points. (b) Jewelry. Usable only by wearer. 500 to 
  create plus 100 per each doubling of weight.  
  Vapor of Death 
   Regular 
  Produces a cloud of poisonous green vapor which moves under the caster's control at Speed 3. The caster 
  must concentrate to move the cloud (or keep it from moving in the wind). A wind above 10 mph will dissipate 
  the cloud; the cloud also dissipates when the spell expires. 
  The cloud causes 2 points of damage per turn to all within it, unless a roll vs. HT is made to resist the cloud.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite s: Create Air, Sickness, Steal Strength 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 500 points. 
  
   170 
  Vapor of Death (Variant) 
   Area 
  A visible cloud of poison gas is created 1 yard in front of the caster and moves away from him at 1 yard per 
  second. 
  Several different types of gas are available: 
  • 
  Nerve Gas: A purplish-gray gas; death occurs in 10 seconds after a missed HT roll. A Neutralize Poison 
  spell must be cast immediately to save the victim. Successful Breath Holding (see sidebar p.B91) 
  protects against the gas. Only breathing beings can be affected. 
  • 
  Suffocation Gas: A bluish-black suffocating gas; burns the skin of any living being. Clothing and armor 
  offer no protectin, although clothes that are soaking wet (or complete immersion in water) reduces the 
  damage by half. These fumes cause 1d of damage every 5 seconds for 1d x 5 seconds (roll for each 
  victim). Neutralize Poison and breath holding are ineffective. Damage caused by this gas can be healed 
  normally or with magic. 
  • 
  Carbon Monoxide Gas: A reddish brown smoke. Death occurs in 30 seconds after a failed HT roll. This 
  gas acts as follows: during the first 10 seconds, the victims feel drowsy and cannot function, 
  unconsciousness occurs in the next 10 seconds, coma occurs during the last 10 seconds, with death 
  following. 
  Neutralize poison and breath holding (see sidebar p. B91) are effective against this gas. Only breathing 
  beings can be affected. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2, cannot be maintained 
  Time to Cast: 4 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Purify Air 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points for 1 gas, 250 for each extra gas. 
  Voices in the Wind 
   Regular  
  Sends either a message or some desired sound effect over a distance. The caster can prepare the spell to 
  bear a message of up to 25 words or a sound of a similar duration. The whispering wind will then travel to a 
  specific location that is familiar to the caster and deliver the message then dissipates (note that it delivers 
  the message regardless of whether there is anyone there to hear it or not). It will not be able to reach areas 
  that normal air doesn't go (underwater, airproof areas etc.) The range modifiers to this spell are in miles 
  rather than hexes. 
  Duration: 30 seconds. 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain.  
  Prerequisite s: Voices, Shape Air 
  Magic Item: Jewelry. Usable by wearer only.  
  500 points. 
  Whispering Wind Regular, resisted by IQ 
  The mage can hear any one conversation that is held in the open air. This spell is at -5 if the subjects are 
  indoors or underground in addition to any long distance penalties. 
  The mage can hear any conversation centered on a specific location or on a specific, named person. If the 
  spell is centered on a person, the subject gets a roll vs. IQ to resist. 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite s: Shape Air, Voices on the Wind 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Cost to Create: 500 points.  
  Wind Weapon 
   Regular, resisted by Will  
  Weapons seem to have normal mass and appearance, but they are actually insubstantial just beyond the hilt 
  or haft so they do no damage to normal creatures. They will however damage insubstantial creatures or 
  
   171 
  creatures who have a Body of Air. If cast upon the weapons of a willing subject, the subject can cancel the 
  spell at any time after it is at least half over (5 seconds). 
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds. 
  Prerequisite : Shape Air. 
  Magic Item: A weapon can be permanently enchanted with this spell for 50 points.  
  Weather (Air College) 
  GURPS Grimoire broke some spells from the Elemental Air and Water Colleges into their own sub- college. I 
  have expanded the definition of “weather” to include Astronomical phenomenon more tangible than light or 
  darkness.  
  Changes to spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Wind - For double cost this spell can be cast indoors. Multiple castings allow increased change in the 
  direction and speed of the wind. See also Breeze. 
  Warm - The maximum temperature is 120 degrees F. The cost to cast is doubled if the temperature desired 
  is "unnatural" for the area.  
  Cold - The maximum temperature is -60 degrees F. The cost to cast is doubled if the temperature desired is 
  "unnatural" for the area.  
  New Spells 
  Aurora Borealis - See Electricity Spells  
  Control Weather (VH) 
   Area 
  This spell allows the caster to control the weather in his local area over the next 6 hours. The cost of the 
  spell depends on the area to be controlled, and the degree of change in the weather the caster desires. The 
  weather desired "evolves" over a 1 to 3 hour period, achieves its maximum effect in 2-5 hours, and passes 
  off in the last 1-2 hours. Extending the duration extends the "peak" duration of the weather effect. If two or 
  more mages are trying to control the same area of we ather, treat this as a contest of Control Weather skills, 
  with the mage who is trying to control the larger area getting a +1 bonus for each 10% difference in size. 
  If a mage produces a severe weather effect (like a tornado) he has no control over how the weather will 
  affect a given area. 
  Duration: 6 hours 
  Base Cost: 1/20. Cost to maintain is the same. Cost doubles for each "step" of change from the 
  current prevailing weather conditions. Change can be made in Moisture, Wind, and Temperature 
  and the "steps" for each are as follows: 
  • 
  Moisture - Very Dry, Dry, Moderate, Humid/ Cloudy /Misty, Muggy /Foggy /Overcast /Light Rain 
  /Light Snow, Snow /Rain /Sleet, Monsoon /Blizzard /Hail Storm 
  • 
  Wind - Calm, Mild, Gentle, Moderate, Gusty, Gale, Storm, Hurricane/Tornado 
  Temperature - Arctic, Sub-Zero, Cold, Cool, Mild, Warm, Hot, Torrid 
  Base Cost also doubles for conditions that are "unnatural" - torrential rain in a desert or very dry 
  humidity over an ocean, for example. Cost is halved for conditions that are "typical" for a given 
  region - hot, muggy weather in a tropical rain forest, for example.  
  Base Cost is also halved if the mage takes advantage of evolving weather patterns. A successful 
  Meteorology roll will allow the mage to predict the weather for the next 12 hours. If the mage 
  intensified or reduces the "natural" conditions by one step then cost is halved.  
  Some weather conditions can only be achieved when two or more factors are linked, for example 
  you can't have a tornado unless you have Rain/Clouds or better, Tornado Winds, and Warm or 
  
   172 
  better air conditions. The GM should use common sense in determining the conditions required to 
  produce a given atmospheric effect. 
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes. The weather effects begin immediately, but they don't start to become 
  visible for several hours and they don't reach their full effect until about halfway through the spell's 
  duration. 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Clouds, Rain, Windstorm, Whirlwind, Snow, Cold, at least 10 spells each 
  from the College of Elemental Air and Water.  
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, Jewelry, Fan or Cauldron. 2,500 points. Usable only by a mage. (b) A 
  bulky item, usually a large cauldron or a standing stone which must weigh at least 100 lbs. which 
  either produces weather of some set type or some set range.  
  The weather patterns desired are set by the mage when the item is enchanted and cannot be 
  changed after that.  
  Base Cost to Create: 2,500 plus 250 per hex of radius. (c) A bulky item, as above, which will 
  produce any weather the user desires. Cost to Create: 5,000 plus 500 per hex of radius which can 
  be affected.  
  Meteor 
   Missile 
  Causes a small meteor to fall out of orbit and strike the subject for crushing damage. The size of the meteor 
  depends on the amount of energy put into the spell. This spell won't work indoors. If it is attempted, the 
  meteor does damage to the roof of the building instead. Meteors can only be dodged. Blocking or parrying 
  have no effect. 
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 1 point per die of damage, up to 12 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds plus 1 per die of damage. 
  Prerequisite : Magery, 5 Air spells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. 1,200 points. Usable only by a mage.  
  Meteor Shower 
   Area 
  Causes a meteor shower which to affects one or more hexes. Any creature in the area of effect must roll vs. 
  Dodge or be struck for crushing damage. The cost of the spell depends on the number of hexes affected 
  and the size of the meteors called. This spell won't work indoors. If it is attempted, the meteors do damage 
  to the roof of the building instead. Meteors can only be dodged. Blocking or parrying have no effect. 
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 2 points per die of damage, or per hex, up to 3 dice of damage per hex maximum 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds plus 1 per die of damage. 
  Prerequisite : Meteor

  Predict Eclipse  
   Information 
  Predicts the time and duration of next lunar or solar eclipse for a given location. Each subsequent casting of 
  this spell will give the time and duration of the eclipse after the previous one. Useful for astronomers without 
  tools or for mages in pre-modern cultures without a well-developed astronomy skills. 
  Base Cost: 1 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Predict Weather 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or astronomical instrument. 100 points.  
  Rainbow 
  Regular 
  Creates a rainbow. Caster must be outdoors in humid, overcast conditions during the day in order for this 
  spell to work. However, the GM can allow the mage to use this spell in other places where there is sufficient 
  light and humidity to allow a creditable rainbow to be formed, however the size of the rainbow will be greatly 
  reduced. 
  
   173 
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain (3 points to make a double rainbow, 4 points to make a triple rainbow.) 
  Prerequisite : Shape Air 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Prism.  
  250 points.  
  Weather Stasis 
   Area 
  This is a limited version of the Control Weather spell. It does not allow the mage to change the weather, but 
  it does allow him to attempt to keep the same sort of weather in the affected area for the next six hours. 
  The cost of the spell depends on the area to be controlled, and the length of time that the weather is to be 
  “held”. The weather stays the same for 3 to 4 hours and then evolves into the “natural” weather as the spell 
  ends. Extending the duration of the spell becomes increasingly difficult as the natural forces exert more and 
  more resistance against the spell. 
  Duration: 6 hours 
  Base Cost: 1/20. Cost to maintain doubles for each six hour period. The cost is doubled again for 
  weather which is “unnatural” for a given area (like drought in a rain-forest, or rain in the desert) and 
  is halved if the weather to be prolonged is the prevailing sort of weather for the area (i.e. hot and dry 
  conditions in a desert).  
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes. 
  Prerequisite : Magery, 5 spells each from the College of Elemental Air and Water. 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, Jewelry, Fan or Cauldron. 600 points. Usable only by a mage.

  Earth Spells 
  Changes to Spell from GURPS Magic 
  I have defined "Earth" as earth, dust, clay, gravel, stone, metal, and naturally occurring minerals and 
  hydrocarbons such as salt or crude oil. Refined radioactive materials or hydrocarbons are not "Earth" by this 
  definition, though the G.M. can define certain "tech magic" spells as Earth spells if he wishes. 
  Shape Earth - For double costs earth can be made to flow at 2 hexes per turn. Clay or soft earth can also 
  be compressed into walls or bricks by means of this spell. Such walls have half the volume of the loose 
  material used to make them, but will hold their shape once the spell ends.  
  Sand Jet - For twice the cost a version of this spell can be created which does 1d6-1 damage or which can 
  be used to "sand-blast" objects removing 1 DR per application to a 6 inch square. The jet can also be made 
  wider so that it can be used for sand-blasting. Sandblasting will destroy delicate objects such as paper, thin 
  plastic, or cloth and it will seriously damage or weaken thin metal or fine glass. Stronger substances won't 
  be affected by a normal application of the spell. Paint or rough areas can be scoured from wood, corrosion 
  can be removed from metal, plate glass can be frosted or etched, and so on. 
  Shape Stone - For double cost stone can be made to flow at 2 hexes per turn. Creatures trapped in stone 
  must roll vs. ST-5 (ST -10 for hard stone) or be permanently stuck. If the subject is buried in an awkward 
  position so that they can't use their full strength, the GM can rule that their attempts to escape are at a 
  further penalty. Subjects who are completely buried in stone or whose chests are compressed will begin to 
  suffocate. If there is a doubt as to whether or not the target begins to suffocate, roll vs. the victim's 
  (unmodified) ST. Victims who are buried in loose stone might also suffer crushing damage depending on the 
  depth and weight of the stone. Damage can range from 1d6-2 points of damage per minute for just a few 
  inches of stone to 6d6 or more per turn if the subject is entombed beneath tons of rock. People who are 
  trapped in stone can be rescued by appication of Destroy Stone spell, by a further application of the Shape 
  Stone spell, or by digging or chipping with tools using the Digging rules. Assume that half normal volume of 
  stone must be dug out to free a trapped victim or 1/4 the normal volume if the subject is conscious and 
  cooperative. Fiendish G.M.s might require the rescuers to make a successful roll vs. Mining (Professional) 
  skill or the appropriate weapon skill to avoid hitting the victim with their tools! 
  Earth to Stone  - The mage specifies the sort of stone.  
  Stone to Earth - For three times the normal cost part of a larger structure can be turned from Stone to 
  Earth. This is especially useful for collapsing masonry buildings or quickly digging tunnels through rock 
  faces. If the spell is cast on a structure, the structure gets a resistance roll based on the Architecture skill of 
  its builder. If the structure was specifically designed to withstand undermining, earthquakes, or other forms 
  of shock, then add +5 to the builder's effective skill. 
  Create Earth - The earth created is homogeneous with the surrounding earth. The mage determines the 
  density of the soil (i.e. dust or packed earth). If dust is created in the air (see below), it will give a -2 Vision 
  penalty per hex it occupies. Sand will fall to the ground too quickly to have any effect. For double cost 
  valuable earth (such as rich top soil or pottery clay) can be created where there was none before. For 
  double cost earth can be created in midair. However, the soil is loose and it won't do anything more than 
  distract and annoy anyone who gets underneath it. Created dirt can quickly be washed or brushed off. Earth 
  can be created in water for no extra cost. The soil will muddy the water as it settles to the bottom (-2 to 
  visibility for each silt-filled hex between the observer and the target, missile weapons are also affected) but 
  will have no other effect.For double cost stone or gravel can be created instead of simple earth (sand can be 
  created for normal cost). Double costs again if the stone to be created is valuable (marble, iron ore). Double 
  costs if the mage wishes to create stone in mid-air. (Yes, you can drop a rock on someone, but it will be an 
  expensive spell to cast.) 
  Earth Vision - The mage knows what sort of material he is looking through even as he looks through it. 
  Each doubling of cost doubles the range that the mage can see. For double cost the caster can see through 
  semi- finished cut stone for 1/6 the distance he could see through uncut stone (6 inches of cut stone vs. 1 
  yard of uncut stone) and he can see through metal brick, or finely finished stone at 1/36 the normal distance 
  (1 inch of metal vs. 1 yard of uncut stone). Cut stone incorporated into a building other structure is assumed 
  to have a minimum thickness of 1/2 yard even if it is thinner. These modifiers are cumulative. So a mage 
  
   175 
  who could see through 60 yards of uncut stone could see through 30 feet of uncut stone, 3 yards of roughly 
  cut dungeon walls (equal to 18 yards) and 1 foot of metal sheathing (equal to 12 yards). Spells which ward 
  against scrying also block Earth Vision.  
  Earthquake - An earthquake will do 1 H.P. of damage per turn, per hex, to any rigid structure which is fully 
  or partially in its area.  
  Entomb - Normally only the subject of this spell is placed in suspended animation. For 50% extra, this spell 
  will put anything that the subject was wearing, carrying, or holding into suspended animation as well.  
  Changes to Spells in GURPS Grimoire 
  Essential Earth - This substance has twice the DR value of earth and is twice as effective at doing anything 
  that a normal earthly substance could do. It is valued by earth elementals and alchemists. For double cost 
  Essential Metal can be created. Essential metal can be worked into armor, weapons, and tools with double 
  DR and HT, but it can only by worked with magic spells such as Shape Metal and only under special 
  conditions. Essential Earth (like all “Essential” elements) is a magical substance. It can be detected by Mage 
  Sight, Detect Magic and similar spells. If it passes through a No Mana Zone, it reverts to normal earth.  
  Rain of Stones - This spell can be cast underground or in any area with an unfinished stone or clay ceiling 
  for normal cost. It can be cast in other indoor settings for double cost. Bucklers and small shields reduce 
  base damage by 1 point. 
  Mud Jet - Any Jet spell will do 1d6-1 points of damage to disperse a swarm.  
  Steelwraith - For double cost the subject is only immune to steel weapons. 
  Earth to Water - If the mage creates mud, the earth will be tur ned into deep, gooey mud about three feet 
  deep. Creatures in the muddy area move at half speed and must roll vs. DX every minute or trip. Anyone 
  attempting a complex or fast maneuver (like melee combat or acrobatics) must roll vs. DX every turn or slip. 
  Creatures falling into the mud take half damage from falls. Wheeled vehicles will become bogged down by 
  large areas of mud as will some tracked vehicles. For double cost the mud can be made six feet deep (or 
  down to the supporting bedrock, whichever is less). Short creatures can actually drown in this mud unless 
  they can make a Swimming or Survival (Swamp or Jungle) roll to work their way out of the muck. Movement 
  through deep mud is at 1/2 normal Swimming speed. All vehicles will get bogged down in deep mud unless 
  they can fly, float, or hover.How long the mud lasts depends on the prevailing conditions. In very dry 
  conditions, the mud could dry out within hours. In very moist conditions where there is poor drainage it could 
  last for weeks.  
  Sand Storm - Anyone inside a full-strength sandstorm must roll vs.  
  ST each turn to avoid being knocked over. All DX, based skills are at -5 and ranged weapon attacks will 
  succeed only on a critical hit.

  Compact Earth 
   Area 
  This spell compacts earth making it harder to dig into. Dust will be compacted into hard, dry earth. Muddy 
  ground will become slightly less gooey. Digging rates are halved and it takes 25% longer to plow areas 
  affected by this spell.  
  If cast on a pile of earth, the earth will be compacted by about 10% per casting of this spell. If this spell is 
  cast three times on earth contained in a closed area (like inside a building form) then it can be compacted to 
  the hardness of soft stone!  
  Base Cost: 1, 3 to compact earth to the hardness of soft stone.

  Create Glass 
   Regular 
  
   177 
  Allows the caster to create a quantity of glass in the color, shape and thickness desired. The mage can 
  create complex objects made of glass, but they will only be as good as his Glassblowing skill. Creating 
  simple sheets or blocks of glass doesn’t require any skill roll though.  
  The mage must be familiar with the type of glass to be created, so low-tech mages can’t make bulletproof 
  glass. High tech mages can make a roll vs. Chemistry and/or Physics skill while using this spell to produce 
  modern types of glass such as safety glass, fiberglass, fiber optics, or bulletproof glass.  
  Duration: Permanent.  
  Base Cost: 2 per lb., double cost for a highly specialized modern glass like bullet-proof glass.

  Create Oil 
   Regular 
  Allows the caster to create a quantity of some liquid or semi-liquid hydrocarbon (such as tar, naptha, or 
  crude oil) or a plant-based oil (such as linseed oil). The mage must be familiar with the oil to be created, so 
  low-tech mages can't create motor oil or gasoline.  
  Duration: Permanent.  
  Base Cost: 2 per pint of oil, double cost for a highly refined oil product like gasoline.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds

  oil specified when the object is enchanted. 300 to create.  
  Create Sand 
   Regular 
  Creates a hill of sand or dust or turns normal earth into dust or sand. The dust or sand will will appear on the 
  ground unless it is picked up by a strong wind or is deliberately created in the air.  
  If dust is created in the air, it will give a -2 Vision penalty per hex it occupies. Sand will fall to the ground too 
  quickly to have any effect.  
  Each application of this spell will create about 9 cubic feet of dust (enough to fill a 3 foot square area to the 
  depth of 3 inches).  
  Duration: Permanent

  Earth Gate 
  Regular 
  When the mage casts this spell, he is immediately sucked into the earth and transported to any known 
  location that is connected to his previous location by some sort of earth or stone. For ex ample, the mage 
  could theoretically use an Earth Gate to teleport to the opposite side of the world, as long as his final 
  location rested on the earth. However, he could not use an Earth Gate to reach a location suspended above 
  the earth or to reach a patch of earth on another planet, since those areas aren't linked to his current 
  location by earth or stone.  
  If the mage's desired location is blocked by magic spells which prevent magical passage, he has the options 
  of appearing in a random hex as near the desired place as possible or of cancelling the spell (paying full 
  energy cost) and staying in his previous location. Unlike the Teleport spell, this spell will never damage the 
  subject, except possibly on a critical failure.  
  If the mage is unsure of his location, use the range modifiers for the Teleport spell.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: As Teleport

  Earth Knowledge 
   Information 
  Will allow caster to determine the geologic makeup of an area of ground. Information given will be crude.

  feet) of other material (air for dry caves, water for springs or underground rivers, oil, gas, metals). Smaller 
  
   179 
  areas of unusual materials are at -4 or more to detect, so things like graves, seams of valuable metals, or 
  small buried treasures will usually be missed.  
  The mage can also sense magnetic fields, fault lines, and magical auras of the earth. In Oriental campaigns 
  this allows a caster to know if a given location is a suitable location for a building and if so, how the building 
  should be laid out and what sort of building it should be.  
  The mage can also use this spell to determine his exact distance below the surface, to determine the 
  upward or downward slope of earth or stone construction, or to determine whether a geological formation (or 
  stonework) is natural, man-made, or magical in nature. In the latter cas, the mage also learns something 
  about the nature of the stonework. (i.e. how old it is, what tools were used, and possibly what sort of 
  creature made it.)

  smaller creatures which walk on the ground can be detected up to 15 hexes away, smaller creatures can be 
  detected at lesser distances to a minimum of 3 hexes.  
  Large scale movements of the earth like those caused by heavy equipment, herds of stampeding elephants, 
  or explosions can be detected at proportionately larger distances (up to several miles away). Truly huge 
  earth movements, like nuclear explosions or earthquakes, can be detected on the opposite side of the globe!  
  In order for this spell to work, the mage and the phenomenon he is trying to detect must both be in contact 
  with the ground.

  Fissure 
  Area; resisted by DX  
  This spell will open a huge crack in the earth, approximately 3 feet wide. The depth of the fissure depends 
  on its length - roughly 5 feet of depth per every hex of length.(So a fissure 4 hexes long would be 20 feet 
  deep).  
  A fissure will do 1d6 points of damage to any rigid structure over it for every hex of the fissure. Living 
  characters in a fissure hex must roll vs. DX or fall into the fissure taking normal falling damage.  
  The crack is paid for on a hex by hex basis and each hex must be contiguous with at least one other fissure 
  hex, other than that, the fissure can follow any course the mage desires.

  spell will create 10 arrowheads or 1 larger tool such as a spearhead, knife, chopper or axe.

  Prerequisite s: Shape Stone 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Floating Island  
   Area 
  This spell allows an island of any size to float freely like a giant boat. If the mage desires, the island can 
  move according to his direction at the same rate at which the mage could walk. If the mage does not 
  consciously will the island to move, it will follow prevailing wind and water currents. Once the spell ends, the 
  island will reanchor itself in its new location displacing the water around it.  
  
   181 
  While the spell is in effect, the island will seem to have its normal depth to those on the island (for example 
  caves and mines won’t be flooded), but to those in the water, the island will have a depth equal to half its 
  height above the water.  
  The only restrictions on this spell are that the the mage must affect the entire area of the island and the area 
  must be entirely surrounded by at least 6 inches of standing water. However, the mage can use a suitable 
  spell (Create Earth, Volcano) to make his own island and then cast this spell on it.  
  This spell is also a Water spell.

  Gold to Gem  
   Regular 
  This spell converts a quantity of gold (or other valuable metal) into a single gem of the same cash value, 
  less 10% (as a "conversion fee").  
  The mage may specify the type of gem he desires, however, if he has no preference random sort of gem 
  appears. This spell is handy for mages who wish to create powerstones but who don't have ready access to 
  gem markets. Alternately, the mage can convert gems to their value in gold (or other precious metal) less 
  10%.  
  Other valuable goods cannot be converted with this spell, neither can precious metals or gems which have 
  magical properties. Normal Jewelry. can be affected by this spell, but the spell just serves to convert the 
  metal to its weight in bullion or coins and unset gems.  
  Similar spells exist which will convert Gems to Gold or coins of one denomination to coins of another 
  denomination.  
  If the Improve Gem spell is cast on a gem and subsequently converts it to gold, he will only get as much 
  money has he would have gotten for the unimproved gem.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 2, plus 1 per pound of material to be converted. (Minimum of 3 points.)  
  Prerequisite : Coins of Change

  earth. Each casting of this spell will restore 1d6 HP and DR, up to the original DR and HP that the object 
  had. 1 point of PD is repaired for every 8 points of DR.  
  Note that this spell will not mend broken items or replace missing pieces, so things like broken blades or 
  statues cannot be repaired. However, simple stonework or metalwork, like masonry or steel doors can be 
  mended by means of this spell.

  Magically improves the quality of a gem allowing up to a 50% increase in quality. Flawless gems cannot be 
  improved with this spell, but any other sort of gem can be improved. The weight of a gem (karats) cannot be 
  increased. The danger of this spell is that any failure (not just a critical failure) destroys the gem and there is 
  a cumulative -1 skill penalty for every 10% improvement.  
  This spell does not allow the mage to cut gems.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 3 for 10% improvement 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute

  Landslide  
  Area 
  
   183 
  Causes an area of rock or earth to shift or collapse. The damage done depends on the individual 
  circumstances. A simple rule of thumb is that characters caught in the slide or collapse take 1d6 points of 
  damage for every hex of earth involved in the slide or 2d6 points of damage for every hex of rock involved in 
  a cave-in. However, falling rocks or large masses of earth or mud could do considerably more damage due 
  to crushing and suffocation. The earth or stone affected must be on at least a 30 degree slope. You can't 
  make rock slide along level ground.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 3 per hex. Can't be maintained.

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 1,500 to create. Usable only by a mage.  
  Living Earth 
  Area 
  This spell makes an area of earth, stone, or metal “alive”. It will grow, heal, and slowly move according to the 
  mage’s will. Using this spell, the mage can make rocks “grow” into walls, or he can make walls repair 
  themselves or fuse together to become more resistant to damage. Note, however, that the basic form of the 
  material will not change, and refined metals and precious gems will “grow” very slowly if at all.  
  Earth, gravel, or uncut stone (“natural” materials) will increase their mass and volume at the rate of 10% per 
  day, until they reach the volume specified by the mage when the spell is cast. A volume of earth can also 
  Move at a rate of 1 hex per day or heal 10% of its HP per day if the mage wishes it to do so. Materials can 
  also be made to flow away from an area, to make depressions or to reduce the height of high areas of earth.  
  “Semi-Refined” materials (i.e. cut stone, crushed gravel) increases its mass and volume at 1% per day, and 
  “Refined” materials (refined metal, cut or polished gems, finished stone) increases its mass and volume at a 
  rate of .001% per day. In other respects, refined and semi-refined minerals are identical to unrefined 
  materials.  
  In other respects this spell is like the Shape Earth spell.  
  Base Cost: 3 per hex, 2 to maintain. Double cost to affect refined materials.

  Loosen Earth 
  Area 
  This spell will give normal earth the consistency of freshly plowed and cultivated soil to a depth of about 1 
  foot. Dry earth will be turned into dust, possibly causing huge clouds of dust (equivalent to the Fog spell) if it 
  is disturbed by movement or wind. Muddy ground will become more gooey, impeding Movement by a further 
  25%. Digging rates are doubled in areas affected by this spell and seeds can be planted as if the ground 
  were freshly plowed.

  him. If used against Earth- or Stone-based creatures, treat the Magic pick as a Great Maul which ignores DR 
  of stone or earthen armor and which does double damage.

  Oily 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This spell saturates all objects in an area with flammable oil. In addition to soiling or spoiling the material, the 
  oil allows the material to be instantly ignited if a flame source is held in contact with it for at least 1 second.  
  If this spell is used to saturate the clothing or possessions of a person or the fur of an animal, the victim gets 
  a roll vs. IQ to resist the spell.  
  Burn damage from flaming oil is determined as if the victim had been soaked in gasoline and set alight, 1d6 
  points of damage per turn spread across the entire body. Porous armor (such as cloth or leather) doesn’t 
  protect against this damage, since the oil soaks into it. Non -porous armor (such as metal or plastic) protects 
  with its DR for the first turn, then the burning oil seeps in through the joints. Sealed armor protects with its 
  full DR.  
  The oil will naturally drip off the subject or evaporate in about a minute. It can also be wiped off or washed 
  away with large amounts of water (at least 10 gallons). Oil which saturates into non-living materials lasts 
  permanently until it is washed or wiped away.  
  Base Cost: 1 for a small area (like a small campfire), 2 for a 1 hex wide area, 4 per hex of living 
  creature. Can’t be maintained.

  earth just as if the land had been plowed by hand.  
  Small plants in the area will be uprooted, large plants or rocks will be unaffected and the furrows will go 
  around them. Any material on or in the ground down to 6î of depth will be churned along with the soil. This 
  will either hide or reveal objects as the GM wishes.  
  While this spell is mostly used as an aid to gardeners and farmers, some mages also use it for other 
  purposes - to hide tracks or to reveal (or hide) deadly objects like caltraps which are hidden on or just below 
  the surface. It can also be used to fill in shallow trenches.  
  This is also a Plant spell.

  subject's hand. The boulder will fly the same distance as the rock would have, but will hit with the

  rate of 2 hexes per turn (Move 2). Anyone in the area when the spell is cast who is not braced or who is not 
  expecting the spell must roll vs. DX+4 or fall.  
  Anything in the affected area will begin to move in the direction specified by the mage when the spell is cast. 
  When an object standing on the spell area reaches the edge of the affected area it will stop moving, though 
  living creatures will notice that the ground continues to move under them.  
  People attempting to step off the affected area in a different direction from the direction the earth is going 
  must roll vs. DX+4 or fall in a hex adjacent to the spell area.  
  Items firmly attached to the ground will seem to move along of their own volition until they reach the edge of 
  the spell area. They they will magically ìpop-upî on the other side of the spell area and start the journey 
  again. It is up to the GM to determine if these moving objects cause damage to people in or next to the spell 
  area.

  avoid falling. An area can have this spell permanently cast on it for 50 times the Base Cost.

  Saltspray  
   Regular, resisted by DX-1 
  This spell allows the mage spits a wide stream of caustic salt from his mouth.  
  Roll to hit vs DX-2 or Magic Breath skill. The mage may spray across a number of people. The first person 
  (or hex) targeted is targeted normally, but each additional person or hex is at a cumulative -1 to hit. If the 
  mage attempts to target two or more people who are seperated by empty hexes, he must target the empty 
  hexes as well, spraying left to right (or right to left) until he hits his final target. If his targets have cover 
  (including people in front of them) the mage rolls at a penalty to to skill in addition to any modifiers for 
  number of targets. In any event, the mage can only spray salt at people in his front and side hexes.  
  The salt does no damage to humans, but victims who are struck by the salt spray must roll vs. DX-1 or get 
  salt in their eyes. This is extremely painful. Roll vs Will every turn to attack at all, and then still attack (or cast 
  spells) at -4 for the first turn, -3 for the second, -2 for the third, and -1 for the fourth, unless the salt is 
  washed out with at least a quart of water. If the eyes are washed out, all Vision penalties are immediately 
  dispelled.  
  If the person is struck again with Saltspray before they have rid themselves of the penalties from previous 
  applications of this spell, they are at an additional penalty up to -10 when they are effectively blinded. 
  However, the vision penalty is reduced by 1 each turn just like the normal spell spell effect.  
  If the victim thinks to do so (make an IQ roll), he may Block the salt spray by covering his eyes with his 
  hands or by turning his head away. If he does so, he may only attack with a Wild Swing on that turn.

  Seek Terrain 
  Information 
  This spell allows the mage to know the the direction and approximate distance to the nearest large, 
  distinctive, natural terrain feature such as a cavern, mountain, forest, desert, pass, island, reef, or coastline. 
  If there is more than one terrain feature of the appropriate type, this spell will give confused results. The 
  mage can exclude known terrain features if he specifies them before he begins casting the spell.  
  While accurate, this spell "interprets" requests literally. For example, if a mage is seeking a cavern, then the 
  spell might point out a cavern deep in the earth with no known entrance rather than the cavern entrance the 
  mage was looking for. This problem can be overcome if the mage specifies what he is looking for before 
  casting begins.  
  There is a -2 to penalty to skill if the mage is looking for a relatively small or insignificant feature (i.e. one 
  specific hill in a range of hills) and an additional -2 penalty if the mage has never been to (or personally 
  seen) the desired terrain feature.  
  Base Cost: 3, large man-made terrain features (cities, dungeons, keeps) can be detected for double 
  normal cost.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Seek Earth 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, Jewelry or Clothing. 400 to create. Usable only by a mage. (b) Clothing 
  or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. 300 to create. If the item will only detect one type of terrain (like 
  just mountains, or just reefs), then the cost to create is 150 points.  
  Sharp Stones 
   Area 
  Causes a stone surface to become filled with razor-sharp spikes of stone. Creatures walking through the 
  affected area take 2 points of damage to their feet for every hex they walk through. Armor protects normally, 
  though most medieval-style armor does not cover the soles of the feet.. Creatures that fall down in a sharp 
  hex take 1d6 points of whole body damage.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  
   189 
  Base Cost: 2 per hex, half to maintain. An area of stones can be made permanently sharp for 100 
  points per hex.  
  Prerequisite : Shape Earth 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 500 to create.  
  Shattering Stone 
   Regular 
  The mage can enchant a normal, fist-sized rock so that it will violently shatter when it hits a solid object. 
  When it explodes, the rock will do 2d points of cutting damage to anyone who is in contact with it, or 1d 
  points of damage to anyone in the same hex. People in adjacent hexes are hit by fragments which do 1d6-2 
  points of cutting damage on a roll of 12 or less. People two hexes away from the explosion take 1d6-4 points 
  of damage on a die roll of 9 or less. The stone can be dropped or thrown just like an ordinary rock.  
  The danger of this spell is that the rocks are inherently unstable. If the person carrying a Shattering Stone 
  takes a hard fall, or if he drops the stone, it will explode on a roll of 12 or less. If a Stone is hit with a weapon 
  (-6 to hit, -8 if it is held in a hand) it will automatically explode, damaging the person carrying it, and possibly 
  the attacker. If a Stone explodes in the presence of other Stones, the other stones will automatically blow up 
  if they take damage. Carrying a large number of Shattering Stones in a combat situation is a very risky 
  proposition!

  When this spell is cast, the mage makes himself the center of a small, powerful area of fire and destructive 
  energy which burns and destroys flammable objects in his hex and adjacent hexes. As the mage walks 
  along, flammable objects burst into flames and then crumble into dust. Objects worn or held by living 
  creatures and intelligent plants get a resistance roll to avoid the effects of this spell.  
  Larger objects take longer to destroy. Assume that the spell’s aura does 20 points of damage per turn, 
  bypassing PD and DR.

  will not start secondary fires. 
  It can only be extinguished by Dispel Magic or a Counterspell. Non- living material hit by Balefire loses HT 
  directly, ignoring DR. Armor hit by Balefire loses 1 DR for every 2 damage points, leaving behind a 
  weakened or useless armor position. Living things take normal damage, but only after the Balefire has 
  burned through clothes, armor, etc. Balefire does full damage on the first turn. It will adhere to a target and 
  
   199

  Fire Bug 
  Regular 
  This spell creates a small, dull-red, roach-like insect which will seek out sheltered areas in or near 
  flammable material like woodpiles, engine compartments, or bookshelves. It will then hide there until the 
  spell expires, at which time it will burst into flame, destroying itself and setting everything around it on fire.  
  When a fire bug ignites, it does 1d6-2 points of damage to anyone or anything directly in contact with it, and 
  it will automatically set Class A or B flammable materials on fire. Each firebug has a 50% chance of igniting 
  Class C flammables, and a 25% chanc e of igniting Class D flammables .  
  Fire bugs move fairly quickly (Move 3) and are a small (-9 to hit), and move erratically (-3 to hit), but don’t 
  travel very far from where they are dropped (30 hexes at most). However, any damage to the bug will kill it, 
  and cause it to detonate prematurely.  
  The mage can’t direct where the bugs will hide, but he can place them near his desired target and hope that 
  they will shelter where he wants them to hide. The mage can also carry the bugs instead of releasing them 
  immediately to extend their range. A successful sleight- of-hand or Stealth roll will allow a mage to drop or 
  release a bug without being seen. However, if the mage waits too long, the spell will end and the bugs will 
  detonate possibly damaging the mage or setting him on fire . Also, if the mage falls or suffers some other 
  whole body crushing damage while carrying a bug, he must roll vs. DX or the bugs will be crushed and will 
  detonate.

  appear inside the container and can be taken out as needed. Cost to create: 300 
  Fire Burst 
  Regular 
  This spell makes an ordinary fire explode as if hot grease or oil had been thrown into the flames. The 
  resulting blast temporarily makes an area of fire double the radius it occupies. Candles and lamp flames will 
  just flare and burn fiercely, doing no damage. Torches will flare up to burn people in the same hex. 
  Campfires will affect everyone in the adjacent hexes. Larger fires will burn a proportionately larger area.  
  Damage done by the flames depends on the intensity of the original flames. Torches and other small flames 
  will do 1d6-2 points of damage.  
  Campfires will do 1d6-1 points of damage. Larger and hotter fires will do more damage.  
  In dark conditions, the sudden flash of light will force anyone who is looking into the flame to roll vs. DX or 
  be dazzled as if they had been affected by the Flash spell.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 2 per hex of flame (or fraction thereof) to be affected.

  fascinated by the flames that they become unaware of their surroundings. Charmed characters who are 
  shaken or otherwise shocked or whose view of the flames is blocked can roll vs. Will each turn to "awaken". 
  Otherwise, the charm lasts until the caster ends the spell, the spell expires, or the hypnotizing flames go out.

  Fire Fist 
  Regular 
  The subject's hands and forearms are made immune to flame damage and then burst into flames. The 
  flames give light equal to torchlight and allow the mage to do burn damage by touch. Punches from a 
  burning fist do extra 1 point of burn damage in addition to normal crushing damage. If the subject grapples 
  or grabs his victim, he does 1d6 -2 points of burn damage per turn. Armor and clothing protect normally.  
  Since the subject's arms are fireproof, he can also pick up hot items without taking damage.  
  Note that only the subject's arms are made fireproof, other parts of his body and any equipment he might be 
  carrying or holding are not fireproof and take normal damage.

  Fire Gate (VH)  
  Regular, resisted by DX 
  Fire gate opens up a very small portal to the elemental plane of fire, allowing a jet of elemental flames burst 
  through to the caster’s plane. The flames extend for 8 hexes from the mage’s hand, in the direction he 
  points.  
  
   202 
  The jet is targeted using the Magic Jet (Flame Jet) skill or DX-2, and the mage can use the “Walking the 
  Burst” rule to improve his aim on subsequent turns. The damage done by the flames varies with the distance 
  from the gate. If the target is 1 or 2 hexes from the mage he takes 4d damage, 3 to 4 hexes 3d, 5 to 6 hexes 
  2d, and 7 to 8 hexes 1d. Subjects beyond 8 hexes take no damage. The mage may, if desired, “spray” his 
  flame, giving him +2 to hit and letting him hit any targets in his front or right hexes (for a right handed mage). 
  Targets struck by a spray take 2d damage in the first two hexes, 1+2 dice in the next two, 1 dice in the third 
  two hexes, and 1d-3 in the last two hexes.  
  A target which is man-sized or larger will completely block the path of the flames, so only the nearest target 
  along any given “row” of hexes may be targeted.  
  No spells that require hand movements may be cast while this spell is "on" irregardless of the mage’s skill.  
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain.

  target fire can see a fiery image of the caster's face (if the caster wishes it) and hear the caster's message. 
  The caster can select a specific person or type of person to receive his message, excluding others, but if

  Each missile has SS 15, Acc 0, 1/2D 7 and Max 15 and does 1 point of fire damage if it hits. If the GM is 
  amenable, this spell can use the Autofire rules for guns, to determine how many missiles strike a given 
  target. In this case the spell has RoF 6.  
  At the caster's option, each missile can be given a limited "homing" ability, allowing them to seek out

  standing 2 or 3 hexes away from it will take 1 point of damage per turn. Armor protects with its normal DR 
  for turns equal to its DR and then it becomes useless. Flammable objects within 1 hex of the flame are 
  ignited immediately. Flammable objects 2 or 3 hexes from the flame will eventually ignite from the heat. 
  Light, loose, items like pieces of paper will be sucked into the flames from up to 5 hexes away and the fire 
  will generate a strong breeze as air is sucked into it. In an enclosed environment, any character within 10

  firewater will create the equivalent of a fire hex if it is poured on the ground and is ignited. If it is poured over 
  (or on) someone and is ignited, it will do 1d6-2 points of whole body damage per turn for 1 minute or until the 
  flames are extinguished.  
  If firewater is made into molotov cocktails, they burn like a modern molotov cocktail made of gasoline.

  hexes (Save vs. HT or -4 to Hearing for 1 minute) but fireworks do no damage and their only real purpose is

   207 
  "crackling" sound. Smoke dissipates normally and is too thin to obscure vision or interfere with breathing. A 
  neat party trick, though clever mages will come up with better uses for it. Alternately, this spell creates a jet

  were, how long they lasted and when they were started. The older the fire, the less detailed the information 
  is. Very old (over 100 years or 1 year for places were fire is commonly used) the mage will just know that a 
  fire was kindled without knowing anything more about it. For convenience sake, the mage can limit the

  to the eyes. Any character caught in a smoke hex must roll vs. HT or be blinded and begin to choke. 
  Blindness and coughing persist for 1d6 turns after the character exits the smoke and give the character -5 to 
  Vision rolls (in addition to the -5 for the obscuring effects of the smoke) and -2 to all skills and abilities while 
  it lasts. Characters who have sealed eye protection (like goggles) are immune to blindness. Characters with 
  a sealed air supply or a gas mask are immune to choking. Characters who close their eyes and/or hold their 
  breath are immune to blinding and/or choking. Characters who spend more than a minute in a smoke take 1 
  point of damage per minute from smoke.

   209 
  Spark Swarm 
  Regular 
  This spell creates a dozen tiny fireballs which can be used to distract or damage opponents or set fires. 
  Each casting of this spell creates 12 tiny fireballs which the mage can move at Move 10. By concentrating, 
  the mage can command the entire swarm or selected parts of the swarm. However, he cannot command 
  different parts of the swarm to do different things. The fireballs can be made to go in different directions, but 
  they couldn’t be commanded to move in different ways or do different things. If the mage elects to command 
  just part of the swarm, the rest of the swarm hovers motionless. The swarm cannot go more than 20 hexes 
  from the mage’s position.  
  The fireballs can be used for one of three tasks. The entire swarm can be used to distract an opponent by 
  swirling around him. This gives him -2 to hit with weapons, makes it impossible to aim ranged weapons, and 
  gives him -2 to Vision rolls or any skill which requires concentration. If half the swarm is used, the foe is at –
  1 to hit and Vision.  
  Individual fireballs can be used as missiles. Each missile is targeted individually and has SS 12, Acc 0, 1/2D 
  N/A and Max 20 and is targeted using the Thrown Spell (Fireball) skill. If the fireball hits it does 1 point of 
  damage before dissipating. If the mage fires at least 5 fireballs at a single target he gets +1 to hit. If he fires 
  all 10 missiles at single target he gets +2 to hit. He can aim at multiple targets in roughly the same direction 
  but each victim is targeted at -2 to skill.  
  Fireballs can also be used to start fires. If the target is unresisting, the fireball will strike it automatically, 
  instantly setting it on fire if it is readily flammable. This is a really impressive way to light candelabras or 
  torches!  
  After 10 seconds any unused fireballs wink out of existence.  
  Base Cost: 3, can’t be maintained.  
  Duration: 10 seconds.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Fireball, Shape Fire 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Tomb of Fire 
  Regular, Resisted by HT 
  The subject engulfed in an area of fire which fills the subject's hex and all the surrounding hexes and is put 
  in stasis. While in stasis, the subject and his possessions are completely immune to flame damage. A mage 
  who does this to himself may elect to stay awake and can move around in the fiery area.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 10, 6 to reverse the enchantment  
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, 5 Fire spells.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. 600 to create. Usable only by a mage.  
  Wall of Fire 
  Area 
  This spell creates a wall of fire 6' tall and 1 hex wide which will burn things and block visibility. The fire 
  created emits heat equal to that of a small campfire, though the flames themselves burn fiercely and block 
  visibility through the wall. A mage can make the fire hotter by expending more Fatigue. A wall of fire must 
  always be rooted on the ground and will never appear where there is solid matter (like inside an opponent).  
  If cast in the same hex as another object, the wall of fire will appear next to the object. It is up to the caster 
  which side of the wall the object is on. A wall of fire can be curved and multiple hexes of fire can be used to 
  block passages or form pens, but the height of the wall can never exceed 6' (or the height of the ceiling of a 
  very low room, whichever is lower) and the wall can't be used to incinerate victims inside it (at least not 
  directly). Three hexes of wall can be curved to enclose a single hex. A victim trapped next to a wall of fire 
  takes 1d6-2 points of fire and heat damage per turn. If the victim can move at sufficiently far away from the 
  flames, he is safe no matter how hot they get. There is also nothing to prevent the subject from jumping 
  through the flames to escape them. If a Wall of Fire is used to trap a victim, the subject may roll vs. DX to 
  avoid being penned in. 
  Optionally, the caster can make the fire shed heat to one side only (determined before casting begins).  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  
   210 
  Base Cost: Depends on the number of hexes of flame desired, and the heat of the flames.2 per 
  hex, 1 per hex to maintain. - Heat equivalent to a small campfire. Will do 1d6-3 points of damage per 
  turn to any object or person held to the flames. Will set Class A and B flammables on fire in 1 turn.

  equivalent to a bonfire. Will do 1d6-2 points of damage per turn to any object or person held to the 
  flames. Will set most flammable materials on fire in 1 second. Things like heavy wood, coal, or 
  leather take several seconds to catch on fire. Characters one hex away from the flames will be very 
  uncomfortable but will take no damage.8 per hex, 4 per hex to maintain - Heat equivalent to a white 
  phosphorous shell. Will do 1d6-1 points of damage per turn to any object or person held to the 
  flame. Any flammable object held to the flame will start to burn immediately. Flammable objects 1 
  hex from the flames will eventually ignite. People 1 hex from the flames take 1d6-2 points of 
  damage per turn.People 2 or 4 hexes from the flames take 1d6-3 damage per turn.

  Water Spells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Purify Water - For 6 points per hex this spell can also be used to purify a hex of water 1 yard square by 6 
  feet deep. This application takes 10 seconds.Areas of water which are purified do not have to be passed 
  through a ring, though the mage must touch the water. If any area of water is only partially purified, pure and 
  impure water will quickly mix and the G.M. must determine its palatability and ability to sustain life.  
  Destroy Water - This spell allows food to be dried for preservation. If food is soaked in a brine solution 
  before this spell is cast it can be dried and salted at the same time. The spell is also convenient for quickly 
  making salt from seawater or turning soup into bouillon. Paper which is soaked by water can also be quickly 
  dried out limiting the damage caused by the water.  
  Shape Water - – Shape water can be used to make “holes” in water, to keep water out of an area, or (at 
  sufficiently high levels) to create a pathway along the bottom of a body of water. However, in order to do 
  this, the entire area of water to be shaped must be affected, otherwise water rushes in through the 
  unshaped, uncontrolled areas. 
  Essential Water - Essential Water does +2 points of damage per die to fire -based creatures. Essential 
  Water (like all “Essential” elements) is a magical substance. It can be detected by Mage Sight, Detect Magic 
  and similar spells. If it passes through a No Mana Zone, it reverts to normal water.  
  Water Vision - Each multiple of cost multiplies range of viewing out to the mage 's normal ability to see. For 
  example, doubling costs doubles range. This spell allows a mage to see both in water and through water.  
  Frost - This spell will damage flowers and other sensitive plants reducing yield by 25%. Large trees and 
  hardy plants are unaffected. Multiple applications increase damage to plants. 
  Melt Ice - This spell also melts snow. Up to 3 inches of ice or 1 foot of snow can be melted per hex per 
  application. Partially melted ice hexes will quickly refreeze (in about a minute) creating the equivalent of the 
  Ice Slick spell.  
  Ice Vision - Each multiple of cost multiplies range of viewing out to the mage's normal ability to see. For 
  example, doubling costs doubles range. The mage can see through cut ice at a 1:6 ratio. That is, the mage 
  could see through 1 yard of natural ice or 6 inches of cut ice. Spells which prevent scrying also block this 
  spell.  
  Snow - Each multiple of cost allows the mage to create or prevent an extra inch of snow. Note that this spell 
  can be used to create a massi ve quantity of water. If Snow is cast to create snow, and subsequently the 
  snow melts, it will create water at the following rate: 1"/10 (water to snow) x pi ((15*Fatique-0.5)*36(yards to 
  inches)^2 * 2.5^3 (cubic inches to cc) /1000 (to liters) /4 to gallons.  
  So:  
  1 Fatigue = 334 gallons 2 Fatigue = 1,384 gallons 3 Fatigue = 3,149 gallons 4 Fatigue = 5,630 gallons 
  Note, however that it takes an hour to get the full amount of snow and the mage must find some way of 
  cooling the spell area to below zero and then warming it up and/or melting the snow. The most cost effective 
  is the 3 Fatigue size giving a radius of 44.5 yards. To build a collector this big would take 3 mages with skill 
  15 (8 hours each) they can put in 9 Fatigue per hour into maintaining the spell (also using Recover Fatigue) 
  yielding (3149*3) 9447 gallons per hour or 226,728 gallons per day. This can support (at 4 gallons per 
  person) 56,682 people with no other source of water.  
  GMs who wish to limit this application can rule that the snow magically disappears when the spell ends or 
  when it is melted.  
  Hail - For double cost double damage can be done.  
  Frostbite - For double cost double damage can be done.  
  Geyser - For half cost the geyser can be created using cool water. This does no damage, but has other 
  effects. Any geyser will produce approximately 5 gallons of water per minute.  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Every "Acid" spell has an equivalent "Base" spell which must be learned separately.  
  Water Jet - Any Jet spell will do 1d-1 points of damage to disperse a swarm.  
  
   212 
  Steam Jet - Any Jet spell will do 1d-1 points of damage to disperse a swarm.  
  Wall of Water – This is a stronger variant of Shape Water. If cast in water, the Wall of Water can be either 
  be created underwater (where it acts a barrier to movement and currents) or on the surface of the water 
  (where it looks like a rectangle of water resting on the surface, in defiance of earthly laws of physics). A Wall 
  of relatively clear water (or similar liquid) gives –1 to hit per hex between the shooter and the victim for all 
  sorts of missile weapons. This represents distortion and light refraction caused by the water. Murky water (or 
  opaque liquids) give a greater penalty to hit or block sight through them entirely, at the GM’s discretion. A 
  Wall of Water subtracts –1 per die of damage per hex from all Low Tech missile weapons which pass 
  through it. Bullets and other high tech projectiles (including shrapnel from explosions) do –2 points of 
  damage per die per hex of water between the shooter (or the explosion) and the target. Water has DR 1 and 
  20 HP per hex vs. concussion attacks (only). Damage beyond 20 HP disperses the water and excess 
  damage continues on to do its remaining damage. Water has DR 10 and 200 HP per hex vs. flame and heat 
  attacks (including lasers and plasma jets). Excess damage evaporates the water and continues on to do its 
  remaining damage. Small, streamlined missiles ignore the DR and HP of water. 
  Current - Multiple castings can change the direction or strength of the current by a greater amount.  
  Waves - The size of waves in a small pond are reduced by 3/4. Waves are reduced by half in all but the 
  largest and deepest lakes. These numbers are halved again if the body of water is very shallow or has many 
  obstructions (such as vegetation or rocks) which break up wave formation 
  Snow Jet - Any Jet spell will do 1d-1 points of damage to disperse a swarm.  
  Icy Touch - This spell can also be used to coat part of a creature in ice. Costs are the same, but the subject 
  is at +2 to +6 (depending on the amount of his body covered) to HT or ST rolls to resist and to avoid fatigue.  
  Flesh to Ice - Victims of this spell take damage as if they were affected by the Body of Ice spell. They are 
  also vulnerable to melting if the temperature is above freezing. If the temperature is above freezing but less 
  than 50 degrees, the victims must roll vs. HT every two hours or lose 1 HP. If the temperature is between 50 
  and 70 degrees, they must roll every hour. Higher temperatures require a roll every half hour at -1 to HT per 
  every 10 degrees above 70. Victims of this spell also take 1 point of damage for every 20 gallons of water 
  poured over them or for each minute they spend in water. This damage is doubled if the water is warm.  
  Body of Ice - For double cost all the subject's possessions can be turned into ice. The subject is immune to 
  damage from melting (see above) unless the temperature is above 70 degrees. People in Body of Ice form 
  are also vulnerable to damage from water (see above).  
  Icy Missile - For 1 point extra the missile doesn't shatter when the spell ends.  
  Rain of Ice Daggers - This spell can be cast in other indoor settings for double cost. Bucklers and small 
  shields reduce base damage by 1 point 
  Essential Acid - Essential Acid and Essential Base mixed together will produce an explosion which does 
  1d6 points of damage per gallon and which leaves Essential Salt.

  Ice Floe 
  Area 
  When the mage casts this spell, a 6” sheet of ice appears in the area of effect. If created on land, the ice can 
  be picked up or pushed around, and it will have the same effects as an Ice Slick if cast in an area where 
  creatures are standing. An Ice Floe cannot be created on top of existing objects such as people or buildings. 
  In the former case, the ice will be created beneath their feet, in the latter case, the ice will be displaced to an 
  unoccupied area.  
  When created on water, the Ice Floe spell creates a stable, if slippery island of ice which will float  freely 
  according to winds and currents. It will support up to 250 lbs. of weight per hex before it sinks below the 
  water. If someone or something collides with the ice, it has a weight of approximately 50 lbs. If the ice floe 
  extends entirely across a body of water, the ice will support a virtually unlimited amount of weight before it 
  cracks. The ice has PD 1, DR 3, and 12 Hit Points per hex. 
  The ice will melt normally while it exists and will vanish when the spell ends.

  Iceberg

  Similar to Ice Floe spell except that the mage creates a miniature mountain made of ice. For every hex of 
  area, the iceberg has a yard of height at its center point and the edges slope up in a rough cone. On land, 
  the iceberg rests on the ground and has a flat bottom. In water, the iceberg extends straight down for 2 
  yards for every yard of height it is above the surface until it reaches the bottom.  
  An iceberg will have a tremendous amount of Hit Points and can weigh tons. The GM should be the judge of 
  how much an iceberg weighs and how much protection it provides. If a ship collides with a large iceberg 
  treat it as a collision with a solid object.  
  In other respects this spell is identical to the Ice Floe spell.  
  Base Cost: 6

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 750 points.

  from the ice.  
  Creatures swimming more than a yard below the surface aren’t affected by the ice.

  per die of damage they would normally do. Fire attacks do double damage.  
  
   229 
  A wall of ice must always be rooted on the ground (can't be cast in mid-air to fall on an opponent for 
  example) and will never appear where there is solid matter (like inside an opponent). If cast in the same hex 
  as another object, the ice wall will either push the item out of the way, or "flow" to avoid that item. It is up to 
  the caster which side of the wall the object is on.  
  A wall of ice can be curved and multiple hexes of ice can be used to block passages or form pens, but the 
  height of the wall can never exceed 6' (or the height of the ceiling of a very low room, whichever is lower) 
  and the wall can't be used to entomb victims inside it. Three hexes of wall can be curved to enclose a single 
  hex. This traps a victim but does him no physical harm. If a Wall of Ice is used to trap a victim, the subject 
  may roll vs. DX-4 to avoid being penned in.

  Awaken - This spell also cancels the Sleep spell.  
  Minor Healing - This spell will cure up to 1/4 of the subject's hit points at a rate of 3 points per application. 
  There is no penalty to skill until 1/4 mark is exceeded in one day.  
  Major Healing - This spell will cure up to 3/4 of the subject's hit points at the rate of 8 points per application. 
  There is no penalty to skill until 3/4 mark is exceeded in one day.  
  Sterilize - If cast on a person the damage occurs over the period of an hour (as cells die off and waste 
  products build up) rather than immediately. This spell will also cause the subject Fatigue equivalent to the 
  damage done. The victim must also roll vs. HT or be generally incapacitated for 1d6-3 days (minimum 1) 
  due to diarrhea, vomiting, and so forth.  
  Suspended Animation - The subject is "mentally void" while suspended. They don't register on spells or psi 
  abilities which detect mental activity and they are immune to spells which affect the mind. Suspended 
  subjects can be damaged physically, but they do not bleed, and wounds don't have any effect until the spell 
  ends. Even if a person is "killed" due to damage while in suspended animation, they don't actually "die" until 
  they "wake up". Likewise, healing magic and mundane healing efforts don't have any obvious effect while 
  the subject is suspended. However, a surgeon who operates on a patient who is in suspended animation 
  gets +2 to skill since he doesn't have to worry about bleeding or complications of anesthesia and he can 
  take his time.  
  Neutralize Poison - The Diagnosis skill can also be used to determine the type of poison in the subject's 
  body.  
  Regeneration - This spell can be used to regenerate any lost body part, including organs which have been 
  lost or diminished due to damage, disease or age. Regenerated organs have some functionality immediately 
  after the spell is cast, but they don't regenerate to full strength for a month. In game terms this means that 
  the subject will have reduced Fatigue and/or HT until the organ regenerates. The G.M. determines the 
  degree of disability. For example, a missing kidney would give the subject -1 to HT while it regenerates. A 
  regenerating lung would give -3 to HT and Fatigue until it is fully recovered.  
  If an organ is diminished or destroyed due to aging or some underlying health condition, the improvement is 
  temporary. The subject must roll vs. HT monthly or the organ will start to be deteriorate again.  
  Note that the subject must still be "alive" (or at least under the effects of the Suspended Animation spell) 
  when this spell is cast. A patient whose brain or heart was destroyed could be revived as long as this spell 
  was cast before they failed a HT roll to avoid dying!  
  Instant Regeneration - As above except that regenerated organs become fully functional immediately.  
  Youth - Magic Item: (a) Cauldron or Pool. Those who bathe in the pool lose 1 month of age per minute they 
  spend bathing in the enchanted area. If they drink water from an enchanted pool or cauldron they lose 1 
  year of age per pint. Water from the enchanted area only works if it is taken directly from the pool by the 
  
   235 
  subject. Water carried away and given to other people is just plain water. Those who drink too much or who 
  spend too much time in the pool are physically mentally and physically reduced to babies (though they will 
  regain their adult attributes, skills, and advantages with time) or vanish entirely! (b) Pillar of Flame. Anyone 
  who bathes in the flame loses 1 year of age per minute of "bathing". However, the magic is fickle. Roll 3d6 
  for each "session", on any roll of 18 the flame "works in reverse" and restores any years of age it previously 
  removed from the user. In addition, the user also ages 1 year per minute spent in the flame. Cost to Create: 
  500,000. Requires vast quantities of almost unobtainable precious or holy ingredients and years of research 
  and dedication. Mages have spent lifetimes trying to perfect such devices and empires have fallen in 
  attempts to capture them.  
  Resurrection - Depending on the campaign, the G.M. might consider lowering the costs of this spell and 
  allowing more than one try to resurrect a body. It should also be possible to resurrect a long-dead body as 
  long as it is more-or-less intact. In a "high magic" campaign, reduce the energy cost to raise the dead to 100 
  points, allow one try per year, and modify the skill penalties as follows depending on the age of the corpse: -
  1 more than one day old, -2 3 days old, -3 week old, -4 month old, -5 six months old, -6 year old, -7 10 years 
  old, -8 25 years old, -9 50 years old, -10 100 years old. Each century beyond that adds -1 to skill.  
  The caster must touch the corpse in order to revive it and if the corpse's spirit doesn't want to come back 
  (i.e. undead, some ghosts and suicides) it gets a roll vs. Will to avoid returning to life. Magic Item: Large 
  Cauldron, Pool, Chalice, or Holy Relic. Corpses who are put in the cauldron or pool, who have water from 
  the chalice poured on them, or which have the holy relic touched to their body are returned to life. Works 
  only once per day (or once per month or year as the GM desires) and it might only work once per person. 
  Cost to Create: 500,000(!). Requires vast quantities of almost unobtainable precious or holy ingredients and 
  years of research and dedication. Mages have spent lifetimes trying to perfect such devices and empires 
  have fallen in attempts to capture them.

  Divine Resurrection (VH)  
  Special 
  You don't really need to be a god to cast this spell, it's just so powerful that this is the name it received. It is 
  just like the Resurrection spell, but there is no penalty because of the amount of time the corpse has been 
  dead. If you can find the skeleton of a ten-thousand year old subject, you can cast this spell and bring them 
  back!  
  In other respects this spell is like the Great Resurrection spell.  
  Duration: Until killed again.

  Prerequisites: Great Resurrection, Planar Summons, at least 2 Spells from each of the 15 colleges.

  all HT rolls relating to giving birth. The baby is also properly positioned for quick and easy delivery, allowing 
  the mother to give birth within 30 minutes. The spell also gives the mother and child +4 to HT rolls to resist

  Fertility 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell allows an otherwise infertile creature to procreate (if it has the necessary organs to do so) and 
  greatly enhances the fertility of any creature guaranteeing conception. In addition, it is much more likely that 
  a female will fewer complications during pregnancy and that she will have twins or triplets.  
  If the subject engages in sex while this spell is in effect, they will automatically become pregnant (or will get 
  their partner pregnant) unless they are using magical contraception or a mundane form of contraception 
  which prevents ovulation from occurring (like modern contraceptive pills) or their partner is infertile.  
  A female who becomes pregnant while this spell is cast on her gets +2 to HT rolls to resist complications 
  during her pregnancy. Also, if she wishes, she may automatically conceive twins or triplets by rolling vs. HT 
  (or HT-4 for triplets).  
  Unwilling subjects can roll vs. HT to resist this spell. Also, this spell must overcome any Birth Control or 
  Infertility spells that have been cast on the subject. Treat this as a contest of skills between the two mages.  
  Animals are always assumed to be willing subjects and they will always produce double or triple their normal 
  litter size if they make a roll vs. HT or HT-4.

  Healers Circle 
  Area  
  The Healer's Circle allows anyone who stands within it to heal a point of damage every minute if they can 
  benefit from normal magical healing. In order to cast the spell, the mage must physically trace an area 
  (which need not actually be a circle) on the ground with his finger or the tip of his staff and he must 
  concentrate while the spell is in effect. Assume that the mage can trace as If the mage loses his 
  concentration the spell ends.

  for the entire minute in order to heal damage. Characters can't crowd together to allow more people to heal 
  damage.

  while the spell is cast. If either subject is unwilling, they are allowed a roll vs. HT. If either of the subjects 
  makes their resistance roll, the spell fails.

  children. Birth control measures will not work unless the subjects are using magical birth control or mundane 
  birth control measures which interfere with ovulation or the production of sperm.

  Miraculous Birth (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  When this spell is cast, the subject becomes pregnant with whatever creature the mage desires - 
  irregardless of the mother’s age, sex, species, or previous state of fertility - as long as the infant form of the 
  creature is no more than 1/4 the weight of the subject. For example, a human could not be made to give 
  birth to an elephant, but a cat could be made to give birth to a mouse.  
  A live member of the species to be created must be present when the spell is cast and the mage must touch 
  both the subject and the “father”. If either subject is unwilling, they get a roll vs. HT to resist.  
  The mage also can't specify the nature of the offspring to be produced. For example, the mage could specify 
  that the subject will bear a human infant. He can't specify that the child be male, have blue eyes, and be the 
  genetic offspring of the King of Rufinia and the Queen of Khandar. However, he can specify that a near 
  clone of his exemplar be produced (though it won’t necessarily have all of its “father’s” attributes).  
  If the exemplar and the subject are of the same species, then the mage can also specify that the offspring  
  bear the genes of both the “father” and the “mother”, though such mingling of genes will be random.  
  The fetus will grow in the subject's abdomen and will come to term very quickly. Each day of growth, the 
  subject must roll vs. HT or take 1 HP of damage. If the subject dies, the fetus dies with it. However, if the 
  subject survives, the creature it is carrying will burst forth after one month. Females will give birth normally, 
  with all the attendant risks. The creature will rupture the belly of males doing 4d6 points of damage. Surgery 
  or magic will reduce or eliminate this damage.  
  The newborn creature will be a typical infant of its species and will be normal in all respects, except for the 
  peculiarity of its birth.  
  This spell can be cancelled at any time that the mage desires. It can also be dispelled by a Cure Disease, 
  Birth Control, or Remove Curse spell.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 20 points 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Impregnation, Fertility 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. 
  Obviate Sleep 
  Regular 
  Removes fatigue and skill penalties caused by lack of sleep. If the subject makes a successful roll vs. HT+1

  once per night of sleep missed.  
  This is also a Mind Control Spell.  
  Base Cost: 3, can’t be maintained.

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  
   245 
  Partial Resurrection  
  Regular 
  This spell is a much less powerful version of the Resurrection spell. While it will restore life to a dead body, 
  the soul is not restored. In order for the spell to work, the mage must have complete, fresh body.  
  If the mage makes his skill roll by 0-3 points, the body is alive but is in a permanent coma. If he makes his 
  skill roll by 4 to 6 points, the body is "conscious" but has no personality and IQ 3. It will understand simple 
  commands given in its native language but nothing more. It has no skills, no mental advantages, and cannot 
  speak or act independently. It will follow the orders of anyone who commands it but will not attack anyone 
  (including itself).  
  If the mage makes his skill roll by 7 or more, the body is conscious and has some of its previous memories. 
  It can speak and it has all of its former skills, but it has IQ 8 and 5 levels of Weak Will (effective Will 3). In 
  addition, it has no mental disadvantages that are not inherent to its species, no personal memories (treat as 
  Partial Amnesia), and no emotions and very limited self-motivation (the body must make a Will roll every 
  minute in order to do anything but the most pressing tasks). While the body can use weapon skills to defend 
  itself it is very unlikely to use those skills to attack or to defend others, since it has neither the desire or 
  motivation to do so.  
  On a critical failure, the body is animated but is promptly possessed by a powerful demon. In this case, the 
  mental characteristics and skills are those of the possessor.  
  Base Cost: 10 points 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes 
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Major Healing, Restore Life 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Preservation 
  Regular 
  This spell preserves a corpse, limb or organ against normal decay indefinitely. It is mostly used to preserve 
  bodies or severed limbs so that they can be magically restored or properly buried, but it also has more 
  mundane applications like preserving hunting trophies or biology specimens or keeping meat from rotting.  
  This spell is also a Necromantic spell.  
  Duration: Permanent

  Prevent Nausea 
  Regular 
  For the Duration of the spell, the subject is immune to all forms of nausea or non-magically induced 
  vomiting. This cancels the effects of Space Sickness, Free Sickness, and Motion Sickness. At the GM's 
  option, it will also cure or reduce Time Sickness. This casting doesn't interfere with the subject's ability to 
  vomit if it is necessary to purge poisons, alcohol, or bad food.

   246 
  Prosthesis 
  Enchantment 
  This spell allows the caster to produce an artificial limb with all the flexibility of a normal limb which can then 
  be grafted to the subject's body.  
  The resulting limb can be as realistic or artificial looking as the mage wishes and might even be an 
  improvement over the natural limb. The only requirement is that the prosthesis be roughly the same size and 
  shape as the original limb. The prosthesis spell grants the limb the flexibility and dexterity of a normal limb 
  and makes it fit perfectly to the stump.  
  After the limb has been made, but before it has been fitted, the mage can enchant the prosthesis with other 
  spell. If the limb is to be enchanted so that it is more effective than the subject's original limb, then the mage 
  must use spells such as Might or Dexterity to enchant it.  
  Finally, once the limb has been fully enchanted, the mage joins the prosthesis to its owner's body. Except for 
  the initial design session with the person who is to wear the prosthesis, this is the only part of the 
  enchantment where the subject need be present. In this phase, the mage casts a permanent version of the 
  Attachment spell which permanently grafts the artificial limb to the owner's body.  
  This spell can only be used to replace missing limbs or digits. It can't be used to graft new, artificial limbs to 
  the subject's body.  
  Base Cost: 200 points, 5 points to attach the limb.  
  Prerequisite: Magery, Animate Object, Might, Dexterity, Attachment.

  Quick Pregnancy 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell will speed up the pregnancy of a woman from 9 months to as short a period as 12 hours. 
  Pregnancy in other creatures is speeded up proportionately. It is possible for a mouse to give birth minutes 
  after impregnation if this spell is used!  
  In order for the spell to work, the subject must already be pregnant and the mage must touch the subject. 
  Unwilling subjects get a roll vs. HT to resist. At the end of the spell, any offspring are brought to term and the 
  subject gives birth normally. The speed of childbirth itself is not speeded up by this spell.

  Reincarnation 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Allows the consciousness of a recently deceased person to be brought back in another body. 
  The consciousness and soul of the dead person is transferred to another body, which could be that of any 
  sentient or semi-sentient race present in the region where the victim died. The exact form of the body is up 
  to the GM, however, it will not have more or less than 50% of the character points that the character 
  originally had.  
  The character's IQ, Will, Mental advantages and disadvantages, memories and mental skills will 
  automatically transfer to the new body. Some mental disadvantages or advantages might be lost, but as 
  much as is possible, the personality and character of the new character will match that of the old. Physical 
  skills, advantages, and abilities might be completely different.  
  In game terms, this means that the GM will redistribute 50% of the characters points into new or different 
  advantages, disadvantages, and attributes (in some cases 50% of the points may go just paying the Base 
  Cost of the new race!).  
  Duration: Permanent

  Revive (VH) 
  Regular; resisted by HT+2 
  This spell can revive a subject who has just "died" by failing a HT check, by restarting his heart and restoring 
  his breathing. In order to benefit from this spell, the subject must meet certain requirements - he must have 
  "died" very recently (less than 4 minutes without extenuating circumstances), and have not had his hit points 
  reduced below -2 x HT before he died. In addition, the body must be physically capable of sustaining life, i.e. 
  there must be blood to circulate, and the heart, lungs, and brain must be reasonably intact.  
  
   250 
  It is possible to revive a victim who died of severe bleeding or poisoning, but unless these problems are 
  dealt with immediately, the subject will have to make further HT rolls to survive, and might very well die 
  again. (Note that the subject's body doesn't have to be entirely intact - it can be missing limbs.)  
  If the victim has been dead long enough to suffer severe brain damage or brain death (beyond four minutes 
  in most circumstances) this spell will not work. Extreme cold (sufficient to cause hypothermia - like cold 
  water, ice baths, or freezing temperatures) will extend this Duration by several minutes. The Suspend 
  Animation spell will prevent deterioration for as long as the spell lasts.  
  Once the spell is cast, the victim must save vs. HT+2. If he fails the save, he will not revive. Repeated 
  attempts are allowed, with an increasing Fatigue cost (+1 energy per repeated attempt) and -1 to the 
  subject's HT roll for each repeated attempt. After three failed attempts (per death), the victim cannot be 
  revived.  
  Anyone touching the subject (other than the caster) when the spell is cast will be thrown back and tak e 1d6-
  3 points of electrical damage. The subject takes 1d6-3 points of damage as well, put does not move. 
  Damage done by the spell will not prompt further survival rolls, even if it reduces the subject's hit points to 
  the point where they would normally have to make another death check. Subsequent attempts to use this 
  spell can be made even if a previous attempt to revive the victim took his Hit Points below -2 x HT, unless 
  the previous attempt was a critical failure.  
  Duration: Instantaneous (Effects are permanent until the subject dies again.)  
  Base Cost: 3 points, can't be maintained (+1 to energy costs for repeated attempts to cast this 
  spell).

  New spells 
  Animate Body 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to animate a dead or unconscious body (or any other similar object), allowing it to 
  walk about or even attack. Unlike Necromantic spells which have similar effects, this spell does not turn the 
  body into an undead creature.  
  In order to animate the body, the mage must concentrate on the spell and he must be able to see the body 
  by some means. (Wizard Eyes and similar spells count for this purpose.) If the mage is distracted, the spell 
  doesn’t automatically end, but the body falls to the ground. In order to regain control, the mage has to make 
  a skill roll, and he has to spend 2 turns bringing the body back to its feet.  
  The body retains the ST and HT it had in life, but “dies” (if it is already dead) when it reaches 0 HP. The spell 
  ends if an unconscious body takes more than its base HP in damage. Move is equal to half the mage’s 
  Move or half the Move the body had in life, whichever is less. 
  The body has no IQ, and its DX and physical skills are those of the mage at DX-4 (or skill -4). However, no 
  skill or attribute can ever be raised above 12. No matter how good the mage is, he can’t transmit his skills 
  very well. The body cannot speak nor can it use any mental skill or any physical skill which requires internal 
  concentration.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Create Warrior 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Animate Origami 
  Regular 
  This magic will enlarge and animate origami creations. In order to cast this spell, the mage must have a 
  properly made origami creation (no cutting or pasting allowed) made either by himself or another person. 
  When the spell is cast, the origami creation will grow to roughly the size of the creature or object it is to 
  
   255 
  represent and will take on some or all of the abilities of the real object - birds fly, boats float, tigers bite. 
  Origami creations can either fight or serve as transport, but not both.  
  Constructs used for transport may carry one person who weighs up to 300 lbs. over land or air, or water 
  depending on the nature of the original creation.  
  Origami creatures used to fight will do 1d6- 1 Crushing damage with their teeth, paws, beaks or tusks. 
  Irregardless of their type, origami creations occupy 2 hexes, have ST 15, DX 10, IQ 0, HT 12, and 20 HP. 
  They have a maximum Move of 5 (10 for flying creatures). An origami representation of Godzilla wouldn't be 
  able to crush Tokyo!  
  Origami creations are still made of paper and they take 1 HP of damage per minute from water or heavy 
  rain. They also take double damage from fire and heat. When the origami creation is completely destroyed 
  by water or damage it sinks or vanishes.  
  All creations are under the mental command of the person who animates them, however, they can be given 
  a simple general command like "Run north." or "Fight" which they will follow without having to be 
  commanded. When the spell ends, the creations return to their original form and can be reused. However, 
  destroyed or damaged creations vanish when the spell ends.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Create Object 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. 
  Anthropomorph (VH) 
  Regular 
  Not only does this spell animate an inanimate object, it also gives it the ability to see, hear, and speak, 
  invests it with a degree of intelligence and a "personality" determined by the caster or the GM. If the original 
  object was not flexible it is give a degree of flexibility or small structures which allow it to move. "Limbs" are 
  based on the shape of the item. For example, a rock could roll itself along or scuttle along on pseudopods. A 
  teapot could walk along on its legs and use its spout as a "trunk".  
  The object has a personality appropriate to its original nature, but never a truly malevolent one unless the 
  object was habitually used for evil purposes. The GM should use his imagination to come up with amusing 
  personalities for animated objects. Most objects will have an IQ of 8, but especially old or impressive items 
  and items associated with scholarly pursuits might have higher IQ's. ST is bas ed on the object's HP and 
  mass. HT is based on the object's original HP, for very large or small items, the GM should assign split HT 
  scores for HT and HP. DX ranges from 8 (for clumsy items) to 12 (for extremely mobile items like stools). An 
  intelligent being that has somehow been transformed into an objector whose soul is trapped in an object can 
  act, speak, see, hear, and move by means of this spell. If that is the case, the object they are bound into 
  takes on their personality.  
  Animated items cannot learn new skills, but can carry on reasonable conversations in the language they 
  "heard" most often (with or without outrageous accents). They might talk about things they have "heard" or 
  "seen" but most items will be loyal to their owner unless badly used. Items strongly associated with one 
  particular craft will have the appropriate skill at level 12. Animated items are not servants of the mage who 
  animated them. Further spells must be used to command items to service or to extract information from 
  them.  
  Eccentric wizards often use this spell as an enchantment to create sentient companions or guards for their 
  dwellings.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, plus 1 point per pound of material, half to maintain. Can be made permanent for 
  4,000 points plus 100 points per pound of material.

  silverware, stoves come with pots and pans and so forth.  
  These furnishings are servicable but plain. They will vanish if damaged or if the caster moves more than 100 
  yards away from them. They will also vanish at the end of the spell's Duration. These furnishings (and their 
  accessories) can be used as components in other spells, but vanish if damaged or when the shorter-lived of

  command the animals they are under the GM’s control unless the mage specifically concentrates to make 
  the herd function as a unit. 
  Alternately, the herd can follow “instinctive” behavior patterns (like a wolf pack sending a few members 
  around behind to “drive” victims towards the pack) without being ordered to do so by the mage. Complex 
  commands will be ignored or will result in the entire herd becoming confused and hesitating until they 
  receive better orders. For example, “Attack the man in the checked shirt” might be a legitimate command to 
  give to a herd of buffalo, but “Attack the mage.” would leave them puzzled.  
  When the spell is renewed, the mage has the option of cancelling some or all of the spell. However, if he 
  cancels some of the spell, the animals to be dismissed must be selected by some general criteria, such as 
  “All of the wounded ones.” or “All the animals on the far side of the stream.”

  must be an element or a relatively homogeneous material which can be described in a simple phrase (e.g. 
  "iron ingots", "two by four pine boards"). Cost to cas t and the amount of material created depends on the 
  inherent rarity and value of the material being created.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1/10 per lb. of material 
  Base Cost of the spell depends on rarity, local value and processing of the material created, each 
  "step" up a given scale doubles the Base Cost of the spell (so two steps would quadruple the cost, 
  three steps would multiply it by 8, etc.). Each step down the scale halves the cost. The baseline for 
  a given scale is the second entry on each scale, e.g. Common, Bulk, Semi-processed. Round point 
  costs up to the nearest tenth of a point, with a minimum of 1 point. Precious and Semi-precious 
  materials can't be created.  
  • 
  Rarity -Extremely Common (Dirt), Common (Iron Ore, Timber), Uncommon/Valuable (Iron, Fine 
  Hardwoods), Rare (Ebony, Crystal), Very Rare (Gunpowder, specialized plastics in a modern 
  setting)

  • 
  Processing - Raw (ore, raw timber), Semi- processed (crushed ore, dressed timber), 
  Processed (refined ore, rough boards), Highly Processed (ingots of metal, planed boards).  
  Examples:  
  Dressed timber suitable for a palisade - Rarity: Common (in most areas), Local Value: Bulk, 
  Processing: Semi. No steps up, modifier: x1, Energy cost per lb. = .1 points 
  Lead shot for a sling: Rarity: Uncommon, Value: Commodity, Processing: High. Four steps up, 
  Modifier: x8, Energy cost per lb.: .8 points.  
  Black Powder: Rarity: Very Rare, Value: Valuble. Processing: High. Seven steps up, Modifier: x 128, 
  Energy cost per lb.: 12.8 (In this example, the mage would have to be familiar with gunpowder and 
  the GM would rule that he would have to have at least 1 point in the Chemistry, Alchemy, and/or 
  Armory: Black Powder Weapons before he could create gunpowder with magic.)

  Create Monster 
  Regular 
  When the mage casts this spell, he can summon a specific sort of non-human creature (anything from a 
  kobold, to a lion, to a dragon) which will do his bidding. In other respects this spell is like the Create Warrior 
  spell.  
  There are many variants of this spell and it is up to the GM as to which variants he will allow in his 
  campaign. It is also up to the GM to set the energy cost to cast a particular variant of this spell. As a rule of 
  thumb, all Create Monster spells have a Base Cost of 2, plus 1 mana point for every 25 points of 
  skills,attributes and advantage which are useful in combat.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2, plus 1 mana point for every 25 points of combat skills, attributes and advantages.

  created person has an apparent age of 18 and a normal life expectancy from that point.  
  Create Privy 
  Regular 
  This unglamorous but handy spell creates a small outhouse which can be used for the obvious purposes. 
  The exterior of the privy is determined by the caster's whim. It can be as unobtrusive or as ostentatious as 
  the caster wishes. It is furnished with a comfortable seat, a small wad of toilet-paper (or the local equivalent), 
  and a counter with a large pitcher of warm water, a basin, a bar of soap and a towel (or the equivalent 
  hygiene features).  
  Any bodily-wastes left behind when the spell ends vanish along with all the materials that were brought into 
  the being with the outhouse. The privy itself is merely a combination of illusions, minor creations, and thin 
  walls of force. The caster can hide in or behind the privy (which will make the first attack effectively blind, -10 
  to hit) but any attack will pass through the walls and end the spell.

  Dual Image (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to create a temporary “clone” of himself which can move and act indepently of 
  the mage, even at a distance. The duplicate can move, use skills, fight or cast spells just like the mage, 
  however, the two images share Hit Points and Fatigue, and wounds taken by the duplicate and vice-versa. 
  Also, only the mage can regain Fatigue.  
  When the spell ends, any experiences and memories the duplicate might have had are magically transferred 
  to the mage’s memory. This process can be quite jarring. The mage must roll vs. IQ when the spell ends or 
  temporarily go insane for 10 times as long as the spell lasted. Multiply the amount by which the mage 
  missed his die roll by -10 to determine the points of mental disadvantages that the mage must deal with. It is

  Schizophr enia are typical. On a critical failure, the disadvantages are permanent!

  Enchanted Rope 
  Regular; resisted by DX  
  This spell creates a magic rope which automatically attempts to entangle and bind any person it strikes. The 
  rope is a Fine quality weapon with the Dancing Weapon spells cast on it. Whip skill is used to aim the rope 
  in combat. If the rope hits it does no damage, but will attempt to Entangle the victim, starting with the body 
  location it hit. Treat the attempt to entangle as a contest between the victim's DX and the rope's Entangling 
  skill of 12. If the rope tangles its initial hit location, it will then magically start to bind the victim. Treat this as 
  another contest of DX (or Escape skill) vs. Entangle, with a -1 cumulative modifier to the victim for each 
  contest the rope has won so far. This penalty applies not only to contests of skill, but the victim's Move, 
  Active Defenses, and DX-based skills. When the victim's DX penalty exceeds his DX, he is bound fast. Only 
  if the victim rolls a critical success or wins three consecutive contests of skill does he shake off the rope.  
  While fighting the rope, the victim can do nothing else. If the victim or an ally attempts to cut or attack the 
  rope, the rope has PD 1, DR 3, HP 10, and is at -4 to target. In addition, the rope has a Dodge of 5 
  (including PD).

  lbs. the object weighs. It has its normal HT and HP and 0 IQ.

  avoid being cornered. It will also use its DX and ST to break free if anyone attempts to grapple it.  
  The exact behavior which will animate the chest must be specified by the mage when the spell is cast. The 
  instructions can be fairly complex. (‘Run away from anyone except tall black men with one eye who clap 
  their hands three times quickly after taking three steps sideways to the left.”) but can’t be changed once

  roll gives a -1 cumulative ST penalty to subsequent checks until the victim is so bogged down he is 
  completely helpless. The glue can be removed with large amounts of oil (+6 to ST to break loose).

  Glue Ball 
  Missile 
  Allows the caster to throw a sticky blob of goo which sticks to any object it hits and which might glue things

  to keep from having one or more limbs glued fast to its body. (A failure by 1 to 2 means an arm glued to the 
  body. A failure by 3 or 4 means both legs glued together or both arms glued to the body. A critical failure or

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. 
  Illusion Cloak 
  Area, resisted by IQ 
  To outside observers, the subject appears to be doing some routine, unremarkable activity. However, this is 
  actually a preprogrammed illusion. While under the cloak of this spell, the mage can do whatever he wishes. 
  However, those within the Illusion Cloak are not fooled by it. For example, to viewers a mage could appear 
  to be talking peaceably with another character, while actually the mage was attacking him! The victim would 
  not be fooled by this, however, and could defend normally. 
  The mage must pay for each hex that he wishes to cloak. If he, or one of the subjects within the cloak steps 
  outside of the cloaked area, the spell is automatically broken. Those outside of the Cloak get a roll vs. IQ to 
  resist the spell’s effects when it is first cast and a subsequent roll vs. IQ whenever an object leaves the 
  cloaked area (such as thrown weapons) or whenever there is a loud noise (such as the sounds of combat).

  Mirror Image

  Opponent 
  Regular 
  Creates an illusionary sparring partner for the subject. The opponent has the same attributes, advantages 
  and disadvantages as the subject, but it only has skill in two weapon skills and is "unintelligent" and mute 
  except in combat. It outward appearance is up to the caster, though it must always be a roughly man-sized 
  humanoid (unless the subject is something other than a man-sized humanoid).  
  The opponent will have whatever weapons and armor the subject is wearing, and will attack and defend in 
  an "intelligent" manner, though it will fight to the "death" and will only attack the subject. Any damage done 
  by the partner is Stunning damage though the effects of its damage are "real" for the Duration of the spell 
  (i.e. if the Opponent would have crippled an arm in real life, the subject' s arm is crippled until the spell 
  ends).  
  The subject maintains some degree of control over the Opponent. He can stop the foe at any time, (though 
  the foe will attack if sneak attacked), ask it to perform a certain maneuver, or dispell it entirely at Will. If the 
  partner "wins" the fight, it automatically disappears. If the foe vanishes or is dispelled, any "damage" it did is 
  immediately "healed".  
  Optionally, the caster can improve weapon skill, maneuvers, attributes, PD, DR, advantages or 
  disadvantages by up to 150% of the subject's score or reduce them to 75% of the subject's total. This costs 
  no extra energy but must be specified by the caster before he starts the spell. If the caster wishes to 
  recreate a specific a specific person as a foe, he must have detailed knowledge of that person's combat 
  abilities and fighting style, and make a successful IQ roll to get the effect right.

  find them.  
  The rope can be taken into the extradimensional space if fewer than eight persons have climbed it,

  coloured smoke that is 10 feet in diameter. The cloud acts as the Fog spell and lasts for one minute, the

  Body Conrol spells and other spells with similar effects canít be duplicated with this spell.  
  Anyone who appears to have been killed by shadow magic may make an HT roll every hour to awake. They 
  may also make a normal resistance roll as if they were resisting the ìrealî version of the spell.

  Shadow Monsters 
  Area; Resisted by IQ 
  Creates semi-real creatures using material from the plane of shadow. The caster can create phantasms of 
  any creature he has studied in detail (must be firsthand - secondhand information or drawings are not 
  sufficient). The phantasms function as per the original except they possess only 20% of the original's hit 
  points. The phantasms deal real damage!  
  Those subjects who successfully resisted the spell (or were not in the area of effect) see the shadow 
  monsters as transparent images superimposed over shadowy figures. To these people the shadow 
  monsters do only 20% of normal damage. Special attacks of the creatures emulated (energy drain, 
  petrification etc.) do not take effect, but the target of the effects will believe they did and they will affect them 
  as though real until the Shadow Monsters are destroyed.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5 per creature, multiply cost by number of hexes creature fills, cannot be maintained 
  Prerequisites: Phantasmal Warrior 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Shifted Image 
  Regular 
  This spell is identical to the Sidestep spell except that hte mage’s image can appear in any random hex up 
  to 10 hexes away from the mage.  
  Base Cost: 5,4 to maintain 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds

  wearer only. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Sidestep 
  Regular 
  
   273 
  The subject’s image always appears in a random adjacent hex to the hex that he is actually in. If this is not 
  possible, the image will either temporarily vanish (revealing the subject’s true location) or behave in an 
  unrealistic fashion, whichever the mage specifies. In other respects, the image will conform to “reality”. If the 
  image takes damage, it will appear to bleed. If it gets wet, it will appear to drip water 
  The image will take as many Hit Points of damage as the mage has before vanishing.  
  Ranged or thrusting attacks will automatically miss the mage since they are targeted on the image. Swinging 
  attacks might hit the mage if the GM rules that he could be in the path of the weapon, these are treated as 
  Wild Swings. If an opponent attempts to strike at where the mage “really” is, he must guess at the correct 
  hex and strike as if his foe were invisible (-10 to hit, maximum chance to hit 9 or less).  
  If the mage attacks his foe, spells and weapon attacks “originate” from the image and are defended against 
  normally.  
  Spells which allow the subject to see or dispell invisible or to detect illusions will counter this spell, otherwise 
  the image cannot be disbelieved.  
  Base Cost: 4,3 to maintain

  Silver Weapon  
  Regular 
  Any weapon affected by this spell is covered with a thick coating of silver for the Duration of the spell. This 
  allows "normal" weapons to affect creatures which are only harmed by silver weapons. 
  Unlike normal silever weapons, weapons turned to silver by this spell don't have their quality changed in any 
  way.  
  If the weapon leaves its user's hand, it will revert to its normal state after 10 seconds. (This allows missile 
  weapons to be enchanted, but prevents the mage from pawning off bogus hoards of silver.)  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Base Cost: 2, plus 1 per lb. of weapon to be converted, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : False Coins 
  Magic Item: (a) Jewelry or Gloves. Energy Cost: 100 points. (b) Weapon. Turns to a Silver Weapon 
  on a command word. Energy Cost: 50 points.  
  Slippery Body 
  Regular

  Snare Wire 
  Regular, resisted by DX  
  This spell creates a thin metal wire which is stretched between two points which can only be spotted by 
  making a Vision roll. When a creature moves into a hex occupied by the wire they must roll vs. DX or 
  become tangled in the wire. The wire will then wrap itself around the legs of the victim reducing Move, DX 
  and DX based skills by -2. If the victim is attempting to move quickly, they must roll vs. DX each turn or 
  stumble. If the victim struggles while entrapped by the wire, they take 1d6-4 points of damage per minute of 
  struggling.  
  Alternately, the wire can be stretched at head level. If the victim fails a DX roll, the snare wraps around their 
  neck (or their arms if they were tripped a snare above them). Damage is the same, except that if the victim is 
  trapped by the neck and they begin to struggle or fall, the noose is pulled tight and they begin to Suffocate.  
  
   274 
  Untangling the wire requires that the victim remain still and calm while untangling the wire. The person 
  attempting to remove the snare must roll concentrate on removing the wire and vs. DX every 30 seconds to 
  do so. Unintelligent creatures (IQ 5 or less) must roll vs. Will or panic, possibly doing damage to themselves.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 3, plus 1 per each hex the "wire" occupies, same to maintain. An area can be 
  permanently “snared” for 20 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Web 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 200 points.  
  Spare Arm 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the subject to grow an extra arm and gives him the ability to use it for routine tasks. It has 
  the same PD, DR, and HP as his non-magical arms and takes damage accordingly. However, if it is crippled 
  or severely wounded, so that it becomes a danger to its owner, the spell will end and it will disappear, 
  cancelling any damage effects if might have caused. Note that an extra arm will interfere with the use of 
  most clothing or armor. 
  Non-combat use of the arm gives +1 to skills where an extra arm would be useful. In combat, the extra arm 
  gives +1 to Grapple. There is no benefit beyond that unless the mage pays extra for a fully- coordinated arm. 
  A fully-coordinated arm allows the mage to make an extra attack or defense and gives +1 to some combat 
  skills.  
  This spell can also be used to create an extra leg. A spare leg gives the mage +1 per leg to DX rolls to keep 
  his feet. It also increases his Speed by 10% per leg, up to 20% maximum.  
  See the Extra Limbs section in GURPS Compendium I for further details.  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. For double cost the mage can have an arm with Full Coordination.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Complex Illusion 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Tentacles 
  Area 
  When this spell is cast, the affected area begins to grow huge suction -cup tipped tentacles which will 
  grapple and squeeze anything they encounter in the area.  
  Each hex will grow three tentacles, each with ST 12, DX 10, and a Reach of 2. They have PD 1, DR 1 and 6 
  HP. When they are created, they will immediat ely wrap themselves around anything solid that isn’t another 
  tentacle and will begin to squeeze, never releasing their target. If there is nothing available to squeeze, they 
  will writhe randomly until a target presents itself.  
  Anyone in the area must win a contest of DX each turn to avoid being grappled by a tentacle. For each 
  tentacle which has already wrapped itself around the character he rolls at an additional -2 to DX. Roll 
  randomly for hit location.  
  Anyone grabbed by a tentacle win a contest of ST to break free. If the victim loses the contest by 5 or more, 
  he is held motionless that turn and takes 1 point of crushing damage for every 5 points that he lost the 
  contest. Rigid armor protects with its full DR. Non-rigid armor (like cloth or mail) protects for the first turn 
  only.  
  The tentacles can be attacked normally but are impervious to crushing damage. It is also possible to 
  neutralize the tentacles by getting them to wrap around an inanimate object.  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. Each extra point of energy gives +2 to ST (up to 25), +1 to DX (up to 
  15), or +1 to HP (up to 16).  
  Prerequisite : Shrink Object 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Tight Rope 
  Regular 
  This spell makes a rope straight and stiff, so that it can be used like a pole or placed over a gap like a board. 
  The rope can support its normal wieght, but will not bend as long as the spell is in effect.  
  
   275 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 per 50' of rope, 1 to maintain (minimum 2, 1 to maintain).  
  Prerequisite : Rope Trick 
  Magic Item: Rope or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 100 points. 
  Touch of Lead (VH)  
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  For the Duration of the spell anything valuable that the subject touches becomes worthless - gems turn to 
  glass, precious metals turn to brass and lead, bank notes turn to scrap paper, and so forth. Valuable items 
  worn by the subject are unaffected unless the subject actually conciously touches them. Valuable items 
  made of non-precious materials (like fine armor or weapons) are not affected by this spell.  
  After the first transformation, the subject gets an IQ roll to realize what is going on, and can limit the damage 
  he does by deliberately not touching anything valuable for the Duration of the spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5, 4 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Create Material 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Works for wearer only. Always on. Cannot be removd. Energy 
  Cost: 250 points. 
  Transmutation (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell allows a quantity of one material to be converted into another material, based on the similarity in 
  nature and quality between the existing material and the desired material. 
  The caster can transmute matter only between forms with which he is familiar, and both the transmuted 
  material and the material it is to be transmuted to must be relatively homogeneous. (For example, flesh 
  could be turned to iron, but it couldn't be turned into a robot, even if the caster knew how to build a robot.) A 
  good rule of thumb is that the desire material must be describable in a single short phrase, like "black 
  granite", "soft rubber" or "burled maple".  
  Base Cost to cast and the amount of material created depends on the inherent rarity and value of 
  the material being created.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1/10 per lb. of material; Base Cost of the spell depends on the difference in rarity, phase 
  change, degree of transformation, local value and processing of the material created between the 
  two materials. Each "step" up a given scale doubles the Base Cost of the spell (so two steps would 
  quadruple the cost, three steps would multiply it by 8, etc.). Each step down the scale halves the 
  cost. The baseline for a given scale is the second entry on each scale, e.g. Common, Bulk, Semi-
  processed. Round point costs up to the nearest tenth of a point, with a minimum of 1 point. Precious 
  and Semi-precious materials can't be created.  
  • 
  Phase Change: Gas, Plasma, Liquid, Solid 
  • 
  Degree of Transformation: Non-Organic, Organic, Living 
  • 
  Rarity -Extremely Common (Dirt), Common (Iron Ore, Timber), Uncommon/Valuable (Iron, Fine 
  Hardwoods), Rare (Ebony, Crystal), Very Rare (Gunpowder, specialized plastics in a modern 
  setting)

  Tranparency 
  Regular 
  This peculiar spell makes the subject transparent, but not invisible. While the spell is in effect, people looking 
  at the character can see through him (seeing things behind him at no penalty) but can’t see into him. He 
  looks like an animate statue of glass. In some situations, this makes him harder to see, -4 to Vision rolls to 
  see him in dim light. 
  This is also a Light and Darkness spell. 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Shape Light, Darkness 
  Magic Item: Wand, Staff, or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Weapon Hand 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  When this spell is cast, the subject’s hand turns into a (one-handed) weapon of the mage’s choice. Though 
  the subject can’t use the transformed hand for anything else, he does get the benefit of a weapon that can’t 
  be lost and won’t turn in his hand. Unwilling subjects roll vs. HT to resist.  
  The weapon is normal in all respects. However, since it is melded to the user’s body, it can’t be lost or 
  knocked away. If it breaks, the spell ends and the subject takes no damage. However, the user’s hand 
  (below the point where it melds with the weapon) is vulnerable to damage.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Complex Illusion 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. (b) Jewelry or Bracers. Works for 
  wearer only. Energy Cost: 150 points. This Magic Item commonly has other enchantments placed 
  on it to improve the quality of the created weapons.  
  Web 
  Missile 
  Allows the caster to throw a sticky blob of goo which will explode on contact to engulf the hex it hits and all 
  adjacent hexes, possibly trapping any creature caught in the web. The web has SS 13, Acc +1, 1/2D 15, 
  Max 30.  
  If it hits a living creature, the target must roll vs. DX-2 or be trapped, helpless in the web. Creatures in 
  adjacent hexes must roll vs. DX to avoid being trapped. A "near miss" (DX check failed by 1 or 2 means that 
  the creature is only partially trapped and has one or more limbs immobilized by the web.  
  Alternately, the web can be thrown across a narrow area (like between two trees in a forest, or across a 
  corridor in a building) to act as a trap. Any creature attempting to move through the Webbed area must roll 
  vs. DX or become stuck.  
  Webbed creatures must roll vs. ST-4 to break free. They may do this once per turn, but each failed ST roll 
  gives a -1 cumulative ST penalty to subsequent checks until the victim is so bogged down he is completely 
  helpless. The web can be removed with large amounts of oil (+6 to ST to break loose). A standard web will 
  hold up to 500 lbs. Heavier creatures get +1 to their ST rolls to break free for every 100 lbs. of extra weight.  
  Duration: instantaneous, effects last for 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 5, can't be maintained. The strength of the web can be doubled (1000 lbs., ST-8 to 
  break free) for every doubling of cost. Webs can also be made flammable (doing 1d6 points of fire 
  damage to all trapped creatures if ignited) for 2 extra points. If a web is set on fire, it is immediately 
  destroyed.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Glue Spray 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.

  Knowledge Spells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Tell Time  - the mage will can also know the "local" time for anyplace that he has heard of or has seen even 
  if he has never been there. Two applications of this spell will allow the mage to determine the difference in 
  the rate at which time passes in his current location and his "home". Magic Item: (b) Jewelry which will 
  always give the correct time for a location set by the mage when the time is cast. Cost to Create: 100. (c) 
  Jewelry. Allows user to cast this spell. Cost to Create: 300.  
  Alarm - The caster determines the nature of the alarm when the spell is cast. In any event only the subject 
  will respond to the alarm. For double cost the alarm can be set up to a month in advance. For triple cost it 
  can be set for up to a year in advance. Magic Item (b) Jewelry. Allows subject to cast this spell. Alarm type 
  is set by the enchanter. Cost to Create: 100.  
  Find Direction - The mage will also know which way is "up" should that be important to know. Alternately, 
  the mage can determine a direction other than north and/or up. For double cost this spell can also be used 
  to point the direction to a place which the mage has visited or with which he is familiar. If that place doesn't 
  exist or if the mage gives ambiguous instructions, then the spell will return confusing results. For example, 
  an Islamic mage could use this spell to know in which direction Mecca lies, but unless he specifies the 
  proper Mecca, he could get some little town named Mecca instead.  
  If the place the mage wants to find directions to doesn't exist on the mage's world then this spell will give an 
  "up" or "down" result if it is on another planet, or a confused result if it is on another plane.  
  Aura - For triple cost "secret" traits such as possession or undead status can be known.  
  Measurement - This spell can also be used to give an accurate count of a group of identical (or similar 
  objects).  
  Seeker - If this spell is cast on an unwilling subject they get a resistance roll vs. Will to shake off the spell.  
  Trace - If this spell is cast on an unwilling subject they get a resistance roll vs. Will to shake off the spell. 
  This spell can be made permanent for 100 points plus 5 points per pound of object. It is common for 
  valuables, keys, eyeglasses, livestock and pets to be enchanted with this spell to keep them from being lost 
  or stolen. The spell interprets the "owner" as the person to whom the spell is keyed when the spell is cast. If 
  the item is sold or given away or the owner dies, the item senses this and the spell ends.  
  Pathfinder - The mage can exclude known routes to his destination if he specifies them before casting this 
  spell. For double cost the mage can ask for a certain type of path - the most scenic, the easiest, the most 
  direct, the least travelled, etc. If the criteria he asks for doesn't exist or two or more routes are equally 
  acceptable he will know this fact. 
  If Detect Danger is cast immediately before this spell is cast the mage will know if a given route is dangerous 
  and if so, how dangerous it is. The exact nature of the danger is not known. The mage can also use these 
  spells to choose the least dangerous route or the most dangerous route. If Detect Foes or Divination is cast 
  immediately afterwards, the mage can use that spell to get some insight as to the nature of the danger (i.e. 
  bad roads, blizzards, motorcycle gangs, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.)  
  History - The G.M. should lower costs for this spell. 2 for 1 day's history, 4 for a week's history, 6 for a 
  month's history, and 8 for 3 month's worth of history. If the mage pays double costs he can get a detailed 
  history, including a detailed portrait of the owner's personality, but names are still kept secret. A detailed 
  history takes at least double the normal Time to Cast and could take hours.  
  Ancient History - The G.M. should lower costs for this spell. 2 for a year's history, 4 for 10 years, 6 for 100 
  years, 8 for 500 years, and 10 for 1,000 years. Each millenium beyond that costs 2 extra points. If the mage 
  pays double costs he can get a detailed history, including a detailed insights into the item's previous owners, 
  but names are still kept secret. A detailed history takes at least double the normal Time to Cast and could 
  take hours.  
  See Secrets - If the mage pays double cost accidently or naturally hidden items can be seen.  
  Mage Sight - For double costs the mage can know rought details - the college of magic a spell is from, its 
  "aura" and its approximate power.  
  
   278 
  Identify Spell - For double cost the mage can know details - the college of magic a spell is from, its general 
  effects, and the approximate amount of power that went into the spell. This applies even to completely 
  unknown spells.  
  Analyze Magic - If the G.M. is feeling merciful, he can allow attempts to crack Name or Password spells 
  once a year or even once a month. Only a critical failure or a very powerful item should keep the mage from 
  trying again.  
  Glass Wall - Each multiple of cost multiplies the distance the mage can see. For example, doubling cost 
  doubles the distance he can see. Each doubling of cost also allows the mage to look through another 
  distinct barrier. These costs are cumulative. So, for example, if the mage wanted to look through two eight 
  foot thick walls, he would have to pay eight times the normal cost!  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Test Area - This spell can be used to determine how much force or energy a given object or area can stand 
  before it fails. It can determine maximum amperage a fuse can take, how much force is needed to break a 
  wall, and so forth.  
  Memorize - This spell can be extended for the same cost as it took to cast the spell. For double Base Cost  
  the time until the memory starts to fade can be doubled.  
  Seek Magic - The mage can also search for a specific type of object (i.e. items from a specific college of 
  magic, one sort of magical creature, etc.). If the mage is searching for a specific Magic Item or magical 
  creature, he is at -5 to cast this spell.

  of armor, then the GM can give a bonus to the die roll.

  Prerequisite : Divination 
  Magic Item: Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Biography 
  Information, resisted by Will 
  This spell will give a capsule biography of a person. This biography will give only publically known 
  Information, with vague hints at private or secret Information. Basically, this spell gives the sort of 
  Information you'd get from an entry in Who's Who or by talking with a friend of the subject.  
  Unlike the Character Study spell, the subject need not be present when this spell is cast and it doesn’t give 
  personal Information.  
  Base Cost: 2

  Prerequisite: History 
  Magic Item: Book. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Calculate Odds

  game terms, this means the GM must reveal any die roll modifiers which affect a specific die roll and tell the 
  player what number he needs to roll for the character to succeed.

  Regular 
  Allows the caster's conciousness to be transported to the place that he wishes to view while his body lies in 
  a trance. While in the trance the caster can see and hear everything he could normally see an hear in the 
  location he is observing. He remains aware of his body, however, and can return to it at any time before the 
  spell ends. If he cancels the spell, though, he must roll vs. IQ or be Mentally Stunned when he returns to his 
  body.  
  
   280 
  The caster can move up to 10 hexes from the center of his location at the point he is observing at his normal 
  Move. His "conciousness" remains invisible while it is observing, but if detected with a spell, it will appear as

  Confirmed Pact

  This spell is cast on two or more creatures that have just reached an agreement of any sort. All subjects 
  must be willing to be affected by the spell or else it fails in an obvious way.  
  For the Duration of the spell either subject and the mage will be instantly aware if either member of the pact 
  breaks it. They also learn if this action was made willingly or not (i.e.: if under a charm or the like).  
  The spell deals with the spirit and not the letter of the agreement. For example, the parties to a peace 
  agreement would know if one of the parties was planning a sneak attack even before the attack was 
  launched.  
  Duration: Permanent (until pact is broken or ended)  
  Base Cost: 5, plus 1 per extra person beyond the three.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Alert 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Contact Different Plane 
  Regular 
  Allows the caster to contact a being on a different plane who can answer pertinent questions put to it. Simple 
  questions take approximately 10 seconds to phrase and reply to. More complex questions take longer to 
  answer. At the end of each question the GM must make a reaction roll for the creature contacted. On a 
  result worse than Neutral, the creature breaks off contact, ending the spell.  
  Note that the creature might not know the answer to a given question, nor will its answers necessarily be 
  accurate or truthful. The creature might also have its own agenda and might even seek to harm the caster.  
  Each plane is a different specialization of this skill. The first contact with a given plane is at -5 to skill. This 
  penalty is worked off at -1 per subsequent contact until the base skill level is reached. It is assumed that the 
  mage "knows" planes equal to 1/3 his skill level with this spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5, 3 to maintain

  Contact Higher Being 
  Regular 
  Similar to the Contact Different Plane spell, but this spell allows the mage to commune with a saint, god or 
  other omnipotent or nearly omnipotent being. The willingness of the being to speak is up to the G.M. and the 
  mage might get far more than he reckoned for if he attempts to commune with the wrong higher being.  
  
   281 
  The caster can ask one question of the higher being. The being will answer to the best of its ability, but the 
  answer could be very well be "I don't know." or "I don't care." Immediately after the question is asked, the 
  higher being must make a reaction roll to the caster, if the result is worse than neutral the higher being might 
  attempt to harrass the caster in some way, unless the character is especially attuned to the ethics and goals 
  of that particular being.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 10 points, can't be maintained

  Prerequisite : Magery, Contact Different Plane

  Cryptanalysis and Research skills in some cases.  
  This spell also has other uses since it allows the subject to see a pattern in seemingly random parts of a 
  puzzle or unrelated events (assuming there is a pattern to be discerned). For example, an adventurer could 
  see the shape of a pot from looking at its fragments, or he could see pattern in an otherwise random series 
  of bandit raids.

  This spell allows the mage to know who the most recent owner of an object or creature is.  
  If the owner wishes to hide his association with the item or creature, or if the subject of the spell is an 
  intelligent creature who wishes to hide its association with its owner (like a slave who is attempting to run 
  away), treat the attempt as a contest between the owner's (or subject's) IQ and the caster's skill level.  
  If the item or creature is abandoned (i.e. the former owner is dead, missing, or doesn't want it anymore) 
  successful use of this spell will determine this fact.  
  Base Cost: 3 points

  Efficiency

  Enhance Skill (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell allows a temporary increase in one skill specified by the caster. In order to increase a skill the 
  caster must have invested at least 1/2 point in the skill and the skill to be increased can't be increased 
  beyond the level at which the Enhance Skill spell is known.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 10 per +1 increase, can't be maintained.

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 5,000 points. Mage Only.  
  False Image 
  Area; resisted by Spell 
  This spell will present a false scene to scrying spells. The scene is entirely up to the caster, but any image 
  presented must show a relatively simple and repetitous scene in order to be believable for very long or else 
  the caster must pay a greatly increased energy cost.  
  Simple scenes can be made to have enough variation in them to seem realistic unless observed for quite a 
  long time. For example, a scene of a battle couldn't be sustained for more than a few minutes before the 
  combatants started to repeat themselves. But, a scene of an empty room could be made to change as the 
  light from a nearby window changed throughout the day.  
  Some randomness is built into the false images. For example, a false image of the mage working at his desk 
  would show him shifting his seat, leaning forward, making notes, and turning pages in a book he was 
  reading on a seemingly random basis.  
  If the caster of the scrying spell has a reason to be suspicious, he can attempt a Contest of skills between 
  his skill with the Detection and the skill of the False Image spell to penetrate the false image.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 2, double for scenes of simple repetitive movement, triple for scenes with complex 
  repetitive movement, quadruple costs for complex, random movement, half to maintain. An area can 
  be permanently warded for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Misdirect Scrying 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Far-Seeing 
  Regular 
  
   286 
  This spell allows the mage to enchant two identical objects to act as a transmitter and a reciever of images., 
  The objects must weigh at least 1 pound each and they both must have at least one flat surface at least 6" 
  square, to act as a "view screen" and a "lense" respectively.  
  The lense will transmit any image that the mage (or anyone else) can see to the view screen. The maximum 
  range between the transmitter and the reciever depends on the energy used to power the spell. The "field of 
  view" of the lense is about 60 degrees in angle and is static, unless someone physically moves it.  
  This spell can be used in a number of ways. The transmitter can be hidden, and the mage (or someone 
  else) can retain the reciever, allowing him to eavesdrop on conversations or detect enemies at a distance. 
  Or, the mage can retain the transmitter and give the reciever to someone else, allowing the mage to 
  communicate (one way) with that person at a distance.  
  Four identical objects and two castings of this spell will allow two -way communication.  
  This spell can be combined with the Far Speaker spell to allow sound and vision to be combined.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 points for 100 hex range (every doubling of cost doubles range). The objects can be 
  permanently enchanted for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Wizard Eye, Far Speaker 
  Magic Item: Two identical screens of crystal. Energy Cost: 750 points.

  since the creature left the tracks.  
  Base Cost: 3 points 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Trace 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Geneology  
  Information, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the mage to know who the subject’s parents are (either biological or adoptive, the mage 
  decides when the spell is cast). Each subsequent casting allows the mage to know the next “branching” in 
  the subject’s family tree, so the second casting would give the subject’s grandparents, the third his great -
  grandparents, and so forth. The subject must be present when the mage casts the spell, but he need not be 
  willing. Unwilling subjects resist with Will.  
  If the subject’s ancestors are still alive, the mage will mentally know their common name and will get a 
  detailed mental image of what they look like when the spell is cast. If they are dead, he will know their 
  names and will get a mental image of them as they appeared in their prime. If the subject’s parents have no 
  names (like in the case of most animals) then the mage will just get a mental image of the parents’ 
  appearance.  
  At TL 6+, this spell becomes much more powerful. Each casting allows the mage to determine one genetic 
  trait in the subject (or all the members of a previous generation). It is up to the mage to correctly interpret 
  this Information (using the Genetics skill).  
  Base Cost: 4 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 2,500 points.  
  Gossiping Pen

  the pen will write down any local rumors or bits of "common knowledge" about topics specified by the mage 
  when he begins the casting the spell, at the rate of one piece of  Information per minute. The accuracy of 
  this material cannot be determined by any magical means, but it is a good reflection of what (or who) people 
  are talking about, even if their Information if erroneous.  
  
   287 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds

  Guardian 
  Regular, resisted by Will

  certain people or types of people from the spell's calculation if he specifies them before he begins casting 
  the spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1/4 point per hex, for double cost per hex, the caster can get a "ranking" of most 
  powerful to least powerful character in the area of effect.  
  Prerequisite : 3 Knowledge spells 
  Magic Item: Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Honest Witness 
  Regular 
  This spell makes the subject remember a specific event exactly as their senses percieved it, without 
  judgement, imagination, or desire to be helpful coloring their account. The spell doesn't keep the witness 
  from deliberately lying about what they know though.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points. (b) Clothing or Furniture. Works 
  for wearer only. Always on. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Idea  
  Information 
  This spell allows the subject to remember a fact or gain an insight that they previously didn’t know. In game 
  terms this means that the player can ask the GM a question or prompt him for a useful fact or bit of advice 
  about the adventure.  
  Base Cost: 3 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Insight 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Insight  
  Information 
  This spell gives the subject a new insight into how he might solve a problem that has previously stumped 
  him.  
  The game effect is to allow the subject another skill roll at a single task which he had previously failed but 
  where the nature of the task hasn't changed and where a second attempt is feasible.  
  
   288 
  This spell can also be used when the subject has successfully completed a task, but wants further 
  improvement, but if the second die roll is worse than the first, then the subject is bound by the results of the 
  second roll in most cases, unless the subject has a reason to set the first attempt aside in favor of the 
  second attempt.  
  In either case, the subject must take just as much time at the second attempt at the first, making this spell 
  pointless for some skills.  
  For example, if a burglar can't pick a lock (due to a failed skill roll), then this spell would allow the burglar 
  another attempt to pick the lock, even if he wouldn't normally be allowed to do so. However, the burglar 
  wouldn't get a second chance to hit a foe with a sword or fast-talk his way past a guard, since the nature of 
  the task has changed (i.e. the foe has moved, the guard is suspicious). It would be silly to cast the spell to 
  help the PC with his Wilderness Survival rolls, since each survival roll covers a different task or a different 
  time period. However, the spell would be useful if it were used to give the character a second Vision roll to 
  spot a carefully hidden cache of supplies, if he was actively searching for it.

  victim's surroundings. This spell is at -1 for every 3 days that the victim has been dead and is at a further -2 
  to skill if the victim's eyes or head have been removed. If the victim was blindfolded or blinded before he 
  died, this spell is at an additional -4 to skill.  
  If the victim died in a particularly horrible way, the GM might decide that the wizard has to take a Fright 
  Check as if he had the Death Vision spell cast on him. If the victim was killed by a gaze attack (like that of a 
  medusa) then the mage must roll vs. HT+4 or suffer the same effect as the victim suffered.

  Librarian  
  Information 
  This spell will allow the mage to magically search for books and references on a specific topic, returning a 
  list of known references on a magically inscribed piece of paper.  
  Of course, it is up to the wizard to actually get ahold of the references found by the librarian spell. This spell 
  gives +4 to Research skill rolls. If the wizard doesn't have that skill, this spell has a "default" Research skill of 
  10. For long-term projects, repeated uses of this spell can greatly increase the pace of research, as 
  determined by the GM.

  Prerequisite : Text Origin 
  Magic Item: Book. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Listening Walls 
  Area 
  This spell allows sound to be transmitted from the spell area to another area specified by the mage. This 
  allows a person in one area to hear what is said in the other area. Two castings will allow two- way 
  communication.  
  The mage need only be physically present in one location when the spell is cast. However, he must be 
  extremely familiar with the other location and must have visited that place himself within the previous month. 
  The mage also determines which location is the transmitter and which location is the reciever. Multiple 
  castings allow multiple transmitters and/or recievers on the same “network”.  
  It is similar to the Talking Horn spell except that no material components are required and an area is 
  enchanted, not an object.  
  This is also a Sound spell and a Communication and Empathy spell.

  This spell hides the presence of the caster's mind making it virtually impossible to "lock on" to. The caster 
  can be detected by other means, but his mind is immune as a target for hostile psionics or spells which

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Monitor 
  Regular 
  This is an improved version of the Trace spell. The mage always knows the exact location of the subject 
  without having to concentrate, in the same way that he would know where the subject was if he was in the 
  same room as the caster.  
  Furthermore, even if the mage is otherwise occupied or distracted, he will know if the subject has moved to 
  a certain location (or locations) specified by the caster before casting.  
  This spell is commonly used by wizards to make sure that apprentices stay out of trouble when they are out 
  of the wizard's sight.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  
   293 
  Prerequisite : Trace, Alert 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 450 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Casts this 
  spell upon the wearer (the monitor is either the person who places the item on the wearer’s body or 
  someone else specified by the mage when the item is created). Always on. Can’t be removed. 
  Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Mute Witness 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Makes an object, place, or creature replay an exact account of events that happened within 10 hexes of it at 
  a certain time specified by the caster. When the spell is cast, the events will be "replayed" by slightly 
  transparent, but identifiable, images, allowing anyone looking on the scene to see what happened.  
  If the object or creature moved a long distance away from the location it was in when the events occured, 
  there will be no "context" as to where it was since only figures of animate creatures (and their clothing and 
  the tools they hold) will be shown. If the subject did move, the observers will get the sense that the subject 
  moved from the scene and might get a general impression of the surroundings from the "props" that the 
  images hold.  
  For example, if this spell is cast on a dead body which was killed in a bar and subsequently dragged away 
  from the scene, a replay of the time of death would show people sitting at tables and drinking, but the walls 
  of the tavern wouldn't be visible, and a murderer creeping down a flight of stairs to stab the victim would 
  appear to hang in midair as he descended the stairs.  
  If cast on a living creature who wishes to resist the spell, he resists with Wil.  
  Duration: 1 minute (maintaining the spell allows longer periods of time to be viewed).  
  Base Cost: 8, 6 to maintain. For double cost everything within 20 hexes of the object can be seen.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, 10 Knowledge spells 
  Magic Item: Wand, Jewelry, or Lens. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Omen  
  Information 
  This spell predicts the subject's luck for a certain day or the outcome of an anticipated venture. The GM can 
  either answer based on his assessment of the situation, or else he can roll on the following table, if he hasn't 
  though the matter through or he considers it to be trivial.  
  2 Auspicious (The subject temporarily gets the Very Lucky advantage usable for 1 day)  
  3 Lucky (as the Luck advantage) 
  4 Favorable (as the Luck advantage but can only be used once) 
  5-9 Neutral 
  10 Unfavorable (Minor bad luck, delays, hassles, etc.) 
  11 Unlucky (as the Unlucky Disadvantage)  
  12 Calamitous (as the Cursed disadvantage) 
  The power of the omen only lasts until a lucky (for a good omen) or unlucky (for a bad omen) event occurs 
  or until the future outlined by the GM occurs, then the "prophecy" of the spell is fulfilled and the spell is over. 
  Duration: Variable 
  Base Cost: 4 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Divination 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Orientation  
  Information 
  An improved version of the Find Direction spell. Not only does the caster know which way is north, he also 
  knows which way is up, where he is in relation to landmarks in his field of vision and where he is in relation 
  to both his home and the place to which he wishes to go.

  Past Life  
  Information 
  Allows the mage to determine what form the subject occupied in his former life (or lives). If the subject was a 
  sentient creature in a previous life, the mage will know something of that creature's life, personality, social 
  status, etc.  
  A second application of this spell will reveal important events in the life of that person. Multiple castings will 
  reveal multiple past lives, if the subject had more than one.  
  Past lives will always be revealed from most recent to most ancient and each new mage must start with the 
  most recent past life. However, there is no time or distance penalty to cast this spell to reveal an ancient 
  past life.  
  In order to cast this spell, the subject must be present and willing to cooperate with the mage for the 
  Duration of the spell.

  Plane Vision (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell is exactly like the Astral Vision spell except that the subject can look into any one plane of the 
  mage’s choice.  
  The mage can shift the plane he (or the subject) sees by spending an extra point of energy while the spell is 
  still in effect.  
  In other respects this spell is exactly like the Astral Vision spell.  
  This spell is also a Gate spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Base Cost: 3 points, same to maintain. For 1 point, the mage can shift the plane he is looking at.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Astral Vision.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Portent  
  Information 
  This spell allows the caster to know the fate of one action in his near future. The fate the caster wishes to 
  know must be no more than one hour into the future and must relate to one task that the caster knows that 
  he or his subject is likely to do. If the spell is successful, the caster knows roughly how well that task will go 
  and can take precautions accordingly.  
  In game terms, this spell allows the subject to know 1 die roll, for a single skill, up to 1 hour before the 
  character performs the action. If the die roll is just one of many, then the die roll in question will happen 1d6 
  die rolls into a given activity. The GM rolls the dice for the roll in question and gives the caster a general 
  description of the results (i.e. "excellent", "good", "average", "mediocre", "bad", "terrible").  
  Note that this spell does not tell if a die roll will result in success! Even a very good die roll might miss in a 
  tricky situation, or a poor die roll might succeed in an easy situation. Also, the context of the die roll is not 
  known. One good die roll might not salvage a hopeless situation! Also, once the portent is cast, the 
  
   295 
  character is committed to a given course of action and they cannot renige on a given die roll. A character 
  can't avoid a "general" die roll, by say, practicing a skill or making a number of trivial skill rolls.  
  For example, if a mage who knew that in the next hour he had to use the Diplomacy skill to influence an 
  ambassador could use the portent spell to determine the outcome of his Diplomacy roll in advance. The GM 
  rolls the dice and comes up with a 14 which he says is "bad". What the player doesn't know is that the 
  ambassador is quite friendly and virtually any result short of a critical failure will cause a productive result. 
  As a result, the character might take all sorts of precautions that he need not have taken because he 
  anticipates failure.  
  If the mage had used the portent spell before he went into combat, he'd know that one of his combat die rolls 
  would be quite poor, but he wouldn't know if it was a roll to hit with a weapon, to block a blow, to grapple a 
  foe, or to leap a chasm to safety.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 3 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Divination 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Premonition  
  Information 
  The subject will "know" whether an action he is about to perform will result in good or bad results. In some 
  cases, this will allow him to alter his behavior accordingly. In game terms, the GM must tell the player what 
  the GM thinks the outcome of the character's action will be, rolling the dice for the player if the character was 
  about to make a skill roll.  
  For example, if a character is about to challenge the king's champion to a duel and casts the Premonition 
  spell, the GM could compare the effective combat abilities of the champion and the character to determine 
  the likely winner. If the character is likely to win, he will recieve a "good" premonition. If the result is uncertain 
  he would get a "neutral" or "uncertain" premonition. If the champion is likely to win, the character would get a 
  "bad" premonition, and might be able to back down before he commits himself.  
  Base Cost: 3 points

  Scry Blast 
  Area; resisted by HT 
  This spell creates a "psychic backlash" against anyone attempting to view the area protected by this spell.

  and uses the link formed by the observation spell to blast the spying mage.

  IQ or be Mentally Stunned for 3d6 seconds, and he must roll vs. HT or lose the use of the sense(s) he was

  Scry Guardian  
  Area; resisted by spell 
  This spell allows a guardian within the protected area to observe magical eavesdroppers and then teleport to 
  their location (using the link created by the spell) to attack them. This spell is automatically linked to either a 
  real person or creature in the area of the spell, or a magical creature summoned or created by a spell. The 
  cost of the guardian creature is NOT included in the cost of this spell, but must be added for the spell to 
  work.  
  On the first turn that the scrying spell is in the area, the guardian is alerted to the presence of the scryer. At 
  this point, if the scryer realizes what is happening, he can cancel his spell immediately. If he rolls under his 
  spell skill to break the link, he shuts down the spell before the guardian can teleport. If he fails his roll, on the 
  next turn the guardian can teleport to the mage's location and begin to attack the mage.  
  If the guardian must be magically summoned or created, the Summoning or Creation is Linked to the 
  Guardian, and takes another second to activate, which gives the scrying mage another second to break the 
  link.  
  If the guardian creature teleports, it will appear within 3 hexes of the mage, facing the mage, and prepared 
  for combat. It will fight the mage until it or the mage or destroyed. Then, if it is still alive, it can be teleported 
  "home", at the option of the mage who cast the Guardian spell.  
  Duration: 1 hour

  from the mage.  
  The eyes will "explore" on their own, cooperating to cover an area in the most efficient manner. The eyse will 
  move up to 200' from the location where the spell was cast, recording everything they see. When the spell 
  ends they will return to the mage's hand. The mage can then "read" the Information recorded by each eye by 
  grasping it and concentrating on what the eye saw. Once an eye is "read" or if the mage's concentration is 
  broken the eye and the images it recorded vanishes.  
  The mage can will any unread eyes to vanish at any time, but he can't retrieve them once he wills them to be 
  gone. The mage must also read all the returning eyes within 10 minutes of the spell ending, otherwise they 
  vanish of their own accord.

  spell will wake him without stunning if the item is touched.

  minute.  
  If the caster knows the Dye spell from the Making and Breaking College he can make the object start to 
  spray bright red dye 3d6 seconds after it is put into a container or is picked up. This dye will stain anything it

  Tracing Trance  
  Divination 
  This spell allows the wizard to mimic the actions that the subject performed in a given place, provided the 
  actions occurred within 12 hours before the spell was cast and the subject was. Each additional 12 hours 
  gives -1 to the skill roll. This die roll is at an additional -2 if the caster was only slightly familiar with the 
  subject he is attempting to mimic, and is at -4 if the subject was a stranger. The mage must also be touching 
  some item which belonged to the subject.  
  If the spell is successful, the mage falls into a trance and begins to enact the words and actions that the 
  subject creature did during time period the mage is attempting to reenact. If the subject wasn't in the place 
  where the mage is attempting to reconstruct events or if the object didn't belong to the subject, the spell 
  automatically fails, but the mage will know the reason why the spell failed.  
  If the mage does successfully place the subject at a given place at a given time, when the mage goes into a 
  trance, the will "become" that person, acting as that person did to other people present and performing 
  whatever actions the subject did. The mage can be interrupted from this trance at any time if he is subjected 
  to a shock (such as cold water, shaking, or a slap) or if a bystander utters a "safeword". When the trance is 
  broken the spell is over, but the mage remembers his actions.  
  This spell is typically used in judicial inquiries in the presence of witnesses and possibly the suspect. It can 
  also be used to discover passwords or divine the actions of people the mage is tracking.

  negated.

  Wound Image  
  Information, resisted by IQ 
  
   302 
  If the mage can touch (or place his hand very near to) a wound on another person the mage will get a brief 
  image of who, or what caused the wound from the victim’s perspective.  
  This vision will consist of 2 to 10 seconds of “memories” which replay the events leading up to the wound 
  and its immediate aftermath. It is quite possible that this spell will yield false Information or no Information at 
  all if the victim didn’t see what hit him. It is also possible that the mage might have to take a Fright Check if 
  whatever wounded the subject was particularly terrifying.  
  This spell can be cast on a dead body as long as it is sufficiently complete that the mage can identify a 
  distinct wound on the body. If a wound was made after death, the mage won’t get a vision from the subject’s 
  view but will still get a brief mental impression of what caused the wound.  
  If the person or creature that caused the wound has some reason to hide their involvement, they get a roll 
  vs. IQ to resist this spell, assuming they were trying to hide their identity when they caused the wound.  
  This is also a Knowledge spell.  
  Base Cost: 2 points.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Divination, Diagnosis 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.

  Light and Darkness Spells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Light - This spell can also be cast on an area for the same cost per hex as it would cost to affect a single 
  object. A 3-point light spell (see below) will counter an equal area of Darkness (and vice-versa). For 2 points 
  the mage can produce light equivalent to a campfire, for 3 points the light can be made so bright as to be 
  painful at close range (roughly equivalent to a 100 watt lightbulb). Same cost to maintain. Magic Item: 
  Wand, Staff or Jewelry. Allows the user to cast this spell. Cost to Create: 100 points.  
  Continual Light - If the G.M. doesn't want to bother with the die roll, he can arbitrarily set the Duration as 1 
  week. This spell can be maintained for half the cost it took to originally cast it. A hex can be filled with 
  continual light at the same price per hex as it would cost to affect a single object. Continual light will dispell 
  Darkness, but Darkness will dispel Continual Light for the Duration of the Darkness spell. Base Costs to 
  enchant objects with Continual Light should be reduced in a high magic game. The cost should be 20 times 
  the Base Cost (or 20 times the Base Cost per hex for an area) rather than 100 times.  
  Light Jet - For half cost the jet can be a low-powered beam which is incabable of blinding and which only 
  has an effective range of 5 yards. For double cost the beam can be made incredibly intense so that it has a 
  range of 80 yards and can blind foes within 25 yards as if they were hit with the Flash spell. The mage must 
  still target the face and can only attack one foe per turn.  
  Flash - Darkness nullifies the effects of a Flash spell. 
  Darkness - Darkness temporarily dispels Continual Light and it permanently dispels Light of any intensity if 
  it is cast "over" a light area. Darkness is dispelled by either of those spells at the most powerful level. 
  Darkness cancels the effects of a Flash spell, but a Flash spell has no effects on Darkness.  
  Hide - This spell gives also gives a bonus to Stealth and Camoflage skills in contests of Vision vs. those 
  skills.  
  Invisibility - Invisible characters will be visible in areas of dust, smoke, or water since they will appear as a 
  clear area. This halves penalties to see or to hit them. Paint, liquid, or powder poured over invisible 
  characters will make them visible for a moment until the paint sinks into the subject's clothes or the liquid or 
  powder runs (or rubs) off. Invisible characters will be visible for 1d6 seconds if made visible in this way.

  so wishes. (6 points). The cloak gives +1 to reaction rolls.

  Dazzle, provide visibility (beyond a dim light) or generate heat. It will cool the ambient temperature for the

  Concentrate Light 
  Area 
  This spell conc entrates ambient light into one point. In deep shadows, this spell will make the entire area 
  dark except for one point with brightness equivalent to a candle. In shaded areas, it will make an area 
  intensely bright while making the rest of the area gloomy. In bright areas it will make one area painfully 
  bright while making the rest of the area seem overcast. 
  The bright area is 1/4 the radius of the area affected. For visibility rolls, modifiers for Darkness in the 
  “concentrated” area are reduced by 3/4 while the modifiers for the rest of the area are doubled. For example, 
  
   307 
  in an area where there was an overall -4 to Vision due to darkness, people in the bright area would only be 
  at -1 to see things in that area, while anyone outside of the area would be at -8 to see.  
  If there are no penalties due to darkness, the brightness of the light is increased by 4 while the rest of the 
  area is reduced by half. For example, an area of bright sunshine could be made 4 times as bright while the 
  rest of the area becomes half as bright. The bright light area would be intensely painful to look at, perhaps 
  having the same effects as the Flash spell.  
  This spell will create odd light effects. To those outside of the area of effect the spell looks like a circle of 
  shadow with a brighter light in the center. However, the bright light doesn’t seem to shed light into the 
  shadowed area.  
  Base Cost: 1 per hex, half to maintain (minimum of 2 hexes)

  Continual Darkness will last for 1d6+6 days.  
  Duration: 1d6+6 days.  
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain. An area can be permanently enchanted with this spell for 25 time the

  vaguely man-like shape, somewhat similar to that of a creature from the elemental plane of fire.  
  The dancing lights move as the spellcaster desires without concentration (although the dancing lights still 
  count as an "on" spell). This spell winks out if it travels more than 75 yards (25 hexes) from the caster.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 to cast, 1 to maintain. Each doubling of cost doubles range.

  Regular 
  This spell creates a flowing cape made of pure darkness. The cloak gives the wearer +4 to Stealth, 
  Shadowing, and Camoflague whenever there are deep shadows to hide in (Vision penalty due to darkness -
  2 or more) and gives -1 to all attacks made against the wearer, since the cloak obscures the wearer's body.  
  The cloak helps keep the subject cool and free of sunburn since it destroys any sunshine or firelight which 
  touches it. Heat will still get through, but fire damage is halved for the first turn that it strikes the cloak.  
  In situations where it is an asset to appear powerful, mysterious, or dramatic, the Cloak gives +1 to 
  reactions.

  spell, but the spell only affects one target.

  Prerequisites: Light Jet.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 200 points.  
  Diffuse Light 
  Area 
  Causes the light from a single source to be evenly diffused over a large area so the light seems to radiate 
  equally from everything in area rather than from one single point. This completely eliminates shadows and 
  allows light to be more evenly distributed. It’s generally used as to allow a single strong source of light (like a 
  fire) to better illuminate a room.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 2, same to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Shape Light 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Eye Light 
  Area 
  This spell is almost identical to the Light Jet spell, except that beams of light emanate from caster's eyes, 
  illuminating the area where the caster looks and keeping his hands free. The effect is quite eerie, and 
  unsuspecting creatures might have to make a Fright Check the first time they see the caster use this spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute

  Prerequisite : Light Jet 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Faerie Fire

  Coats the subject in a halo of light. This completely eliminates penalties to hit due to darkness. The darker it 
  is, the easier it is to see the subject.  
  The spell will also negate invisibility if cast on a foe in a dark area. It also makes it impossible to use Stealth 
  skill in dark areas.  
  
   309 
  In bright light, this spell gives no benefits at all, except to outline invisible foes. In bright light, make a Vision 
  roll at -2 to -5 (depending on the brightness of the light) to spot an invisible opponent outlined by Faerie Fire.

  False Signature 
  Regular 
  This spell completely changes the subject’s Infra-Red and Ultra-Violet emissions making them look like 
  something else or nothing at all to someone with IR or UV vision.  
  When fighting someone who is relying completely on Infra-Red or Ultravision this spell makes the subject 
  effectively invisible (-10 to hit). However, a person with IR or UV who is looking for the character might be 
  able to get a hazy outline (-5 to hit) if he can make a roll vs. Vision-3.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Shape Light 
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Energy Cos t: 250.  
  Flashcone 
  Regular 
  Flashcone works exactly like the Flash spell, except that the caster can cover just part of the 360 degree arc 
  around him as long as the area can be described as a simple line, cone, partial circle. All hexes in this 
  described area are affected equally. For example, the mage could affect just the hexes to his front and his 
  side, but not to his rear. However, he could not affect his front and side hexes except for the hexes 
  immediately adjacent to his hex.  
  Base Cost: 4

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 450 points.  
  Glitterdust  
  Area

  mass, being composed entirely of light and are impossible to remove except by use of Dispel Magic or 
  Counterspell. However, like any other dust, they can be carried or tracked beyond the original area they 
  occupied.  
  The dust will reveal invisible creatures, and is also useful for marking thieves, intruders and the like. Stealth 
  skill is impossible for characters who are coated in glitterdust.  
  Glitterdust also slightly obscures vision. Vision rolls are at -1 for every hex of glitterdust between the viewer 
  and the subject.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 1, same to maintain. An area of glitterdust can be made permanent for 10 times the 
  normal cost. In this case, roll vs. the mage’s spell skill each day for the glitterdust to fade on marked 
  individuals.  
  Prerequisites: Colors, Shape Light.  
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand, or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 100 points. (b) Rug with a permanent cloud of 
  glitterdust above it. Energy Cost: 25 per hex.

  This spell creates a jet of glitterdust that extends from the mage’s fingertip and fills a line of hexes up to 12 
  hexes away from the mage.

  must also roll vs. HT or be mentally stunned for 1 turn due to the dazzling particles.

  party trick.

  Heat Flash 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  Similar to th Flash spell, Heat Flash blinds Infravision or Ultravision while leaving normal vision unaffected.

  Ultravision must roll vs. HT-4 or be mentally stunned. Creatures who are 10 hexes away roll vs. HT-2. 
  Creatures out to 20 hexes away must roll vs. HT. Creatures beyond 20 hexes are unaffected.  
  Creatures which are stunned must roll vs. HT each turn to recover from mental stun, and they must roll vs. 
  HT-4 (irregardless of the original HT roll) to regain the use of their IR or UV vision. Mechanical devices 
  recover normally, though their operators still have to roll vs. HT or be blinded and stunned.  
  Creatures without dark vision are completely unaffected by this spell (unless they are using artificial vision 
  aids).  
  Intensify Light

  Kaleidescope 
  Regular, resisted by Will

  Kinetoscope 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  The subject switches rapidly from visibilility to invisibility giving a strobe-like effect. This gives +1 to the 
  subject’s attack and defense rolls, but makes skills which rely on stealth or inconspicuousness impossible (-

  Unwilling subjects resist using Will.

  high-tech laser and normal restrictions on lasers apply. The missile has SS: 9, Acc 5, 1/2D 100 Max 200.

  The caster must also specify which people or which sort of people the command wil work for.  
  
   312 
  Note that sources of flame will continue to burn once this spell is cast, they will just burn at the slowest 
  possible rate. Fires will subside to glowing coals and candles will burn with the tiniest possible flame. This 
  will triple the life of a "contained" source of flame (like a lantern or fire), but can't be used on "wild" sources 
  of flame, like forest fires.  
  Duration: 12 hours 
  Base Cost: 1 per hex, same to maintain

  Light Traveller  
  Regular 
  The subject can move at the speed of light to any point which they can see. Movement is effectively 
  instantaneous, but can be block by any normal obstruction. For example, if the caster wished to move to the 
  top of a castle tower he saw on the horizon, he couldn't move there unless he could normally get into the 
  castle and up to the top of the tower via an open gate and open doors.  
  This spell has a maximum range of 24 miles or the distance to the horizon whichever is less.

  instantaneously, his reactions are no faster than normal and if he moves adjacent to a foe to strike, then the 
  foe will be able to fight back.

  Lightless Heat 
  Regular 
  This spell causes a flame (or other heat source which also emits light) to stop producing light, even though it 
  continues to burn. This will make a fire look like it's out when it's not really out, which can be dangerous.

  Magic Picture 
  Regular 
  This spell allows a single scene, as seen from the subject's eyes, to be recreated as an extremely accurate 
  color picture on a sheet of heavy paper about 3" x 5". By concentrating on a single part of a scene, the 
  subject can create "close up" pictures. When combined with the spells Telescopic Vision, Magnify, or 
  Ultravision this spell can be used to create pictures that take advantage of those effects.  
  Duration: 1 minute (effects are instantaneous once the subject chooses his subject, and the picture 
  is permanent)

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Mass Invisibility 
  Area 
  Allows anything or anyone in the area of effect to be made invisible as specified by the mage. In other 
  respects, this spell is like the Invisibily spell. Creatures made invisible by this spell stay invisible even after 
  they leave the area of effect.  
  Note that creatures made invisible by this spell can't see other invisible objects! Casting this spell on a crowd 
  of unsuspecting enemies might be a way to create pandemonium!

  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Invisibility 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  Meld with Shadows 
  Regular 
  The subject is Invisible as long as he remains in darkness or shadow. If the subject enters a lighted area or 
  is touched by light he will remain visible until he enters darkness again. See Invisible would still requires a 
  normal vision roll if the subject is in a dimly lit area. A great hall with a single guttering torch would have 
  many shadows. So would a forest at twilight. Remember, the GM decides if it is dark enough to Meld with 
  Shadows.  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Base Cost: 3, 1 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds.  
  Prerequisite : Blur.  
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Minor Invisibility 
  Regular 
  This spell turns the subject invisible, as per the Invisibility spell, but it is automatically dispelled if the subject 
  makes any sort of attack or does anything to call attention to himself.  
  It is up to the GM to determine what exactly constitutes an “attack”. Defensive maneuvers, stealthy attempts 
  to filch items, and attempts to maneuver for better position are always acceptable, but direct use of physical, 
  magical, or psionic attack by the the subject will automatically end the spell.  
  Destruction of inanimate, non-sentient items or indirect use of offensive magic or psionics (like triggering a 
  preset spell from a distance) might end the spell depending on the circumstances.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 1 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Complex Illusion 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Moonbeam 
  Regular 
  Creates a ray of faint white light, like that of bright moonlight. This reduces vision penalties due to darkness 
  to -3 out to a range of 10 hexes. It provides light sufficient to read by at 1 hex. Unlike the Light Jet spell, it 
  does not blind or dazzle and doesn't interfere with Night Vision. It is also much harder to see at a distance.

  Prerequisite : Light 
  Magic Item: Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 75 points.

  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Beam Walker 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Moonglow 
  Area, resi sted by DX 
  This spell is similar to the Concentrate Light spell except that the mage can change the angle of the 
  concentrated light, using it as a flashlight or floodlight. The mage can choose the hexes he wishes to 
  illuminate as long as they roughly form a circle. He can also shine the light through darkened hexes to 
  illuminate areas outside of the area of effect.  
  Bright light will have the same effect as a Flash spell, but it can only be used to affect one subject at a time. 
  In other respects this spell is like the Concentrate Light spell.  
  The spell gets its name from the fact that it is typically used by mages to concentrate moonlight and starlight 
  into a soft beam of light.  
  Base Cost: 2 per hex, same to maintain (minimum of 2 hexes)  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Concentrate Light 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.

  However, this spell requires a solid object weighing at least 8 ounces which has at least one flat surface in 
  order to store the recorded images. When commanded to do so, the object will either project a two 
  dimensional view of the scene on its surface or else project the scene onto any flat, vertical surface within 3 
  hexes.  
  A given object can store any number of moving pictures, and the subject can "edit" and "splice" various 
  scenes together to get a longer "film".  
  Duration: 1 minute (the images stored are permanent, as long as the object lasts)  
  Base Cost: 5, same to maintain

  Predict Eclipse  
  Information 
  Allows the caster to know the time and location of the next eclipse of the sun or moon as well as the type 
  (partial or full). Alternately, it can be used to predict the next eclipse of the sun or more in a given location. 
  The caster can exclude known eclipses by specifying them before beginning the spell.  
  (Astronomy skill at a high enough level makes this spell useless, but it is handy for mages who don't have 
  the astronomy skill or for mages who suddenly find themselves transported to a place or time where their 
  astronomy skill doesn't work.)  
  Base Cost: 1 point 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Magic Item: Book or Astronomer’s Tool. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Rainbow Trails 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  Any object with this spell on it will leave small rainbow-like after -images as it moves., rather like the “speed 
  lines” used to indicate motion in drawings.  
  If cast on stationary objects this spell will have no effect. If cast on slow -moving objects, this spell will just 
  make them look pretty or peculiar. If cast on a fast-moving object like a running man or a swinging weapon, 
  the rainbow lines will be extremely obvious and intense.  
  If cast on a weapon, the scintillating trails of light can dazzle and blind a foe in dark areas. In any situation 
  where the darkness penalty is -3 or more, an unsuspecting foe must roll vs. IQ or be dazzled for 1 turn when 
  a weapon with this spell on it is first used.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 points, 2 to maintain per hex of creature or object.  
  Prerequisite : Shape Light

  enchanted with this spell for 100 points.  
  Searchlight 
  Regular 
  This spell is like the Beacon spell, but it sheds light over a 60 degree arc and moves in the direction which 
  the caster points his finger. If the caster attempts to use this spell as a weapon (by Dazzling people who look 
  at it) treat this as a contest of the caster's skill and the subject's DX. Subjects get +4 to DX if they are 
  protecting their eyes or are wearing sunglasses.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 10 points, 8 to maintain. The default color of the beacon is white light. The caster can 
  change the color of the beacon, but in this case the illumination properties of the beacon are halved.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Beacon, Light Jet 
  Magic Item: Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Shadow Switcher 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Allows the caster to "switch" the shadows of two or more objects making the one object cast the shadow that 
  the other object would normally cast.  
  This is generally considered to be a party trick, but some mages will find a productive use for this spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 point, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Shape Darkness 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Shadow Sword

  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 4 points, 3 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Darkbolt 
  Magic Item: Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Shadowbolt 
  Missile, resisted by Will 
  This spell will allow the caster to shoot a ray of darkness that will coat the subject with solid shadow, 
  effectively blinding him but also preventing people from clearly seeing him.  
  If the spell is successful, the subject is caught in a shadow hex that moves with him for the Duration of the 
  spell. He can't see, but all attacks against him are at -4 due to the obscuring effects of the darkness.  
  The bolt has SS 12, Acc +1, 1/2D 15, Max 30.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain

  Prerequisite : Darkness, Shape Darkness 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Shadowcat 
  Regular 
  This spell creates a vaguely cat-like beast made out of purest shadow which will act as a scout and 
  messenger.  
  
   317 
  The creature is completely invisible in shadows and is completely soundless, so it has a Stealth skill of 25 
  and a Dodge score of 10. However, it has no hit points and will vanish after the first successful attack is 
  made on it.  
  It will always move through the shadows Melding With Shadows as it goes. This makes it effectively 
  Invisible. The mage can spend an extra point to see through its eyes, and it will rove up to 60 yards from the 
  mage.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Shape Darkness, Dark Vision 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Shadowlight 
  Area 
  This peculiar spell makes makes light where there should be shadow and shadow where there should be 
  light, making the area of effect look rather like a photograph negative. This spell can't be cast where there 
  are no strong shadows, like at high noon on a cloudy day or in complete darkness.  
  This spell is useful for turning the tables on people who are lurking in shadows.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 per hex, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Darkness, Continual Light  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Shadows Know  
  Information 
  Allows the caster to "commune" with an area of shadow which allows the caster to learn what events took 
  place in that shadow or what was said in that shadow.  
  If the shadow is particularly large or a lot of activity has happened in the shadow, then the caster will get a 
  blur of events and a babble of voices unless the caster limits the area of shadow he wishes to commune 
  with.  
  There is a penalty of -1 to success for each hour which has passed between the  Information 
  which 
  the 
  mage wants to know and the time when the activity occurred.  
  This penalty is doubled if the shadow has significantly changed in shape or size (like the shadow of a 
  building during the day would) and automatically fails if the shadow has been completely eliminated.

  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Shape Darkness, Divination 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Signal Flare 
  Regular 
  A fizzing jet flies straight up from the caster's finger. When it reaches an altitude of 400 feet, it will burst into 
  a brilliant flare of colored light (caster's choice of color) and it will remain stationary at that altitude for the full 
  Duration.  
  While the flare does not illuminate its immediate area very well (it eliminates 2 points of darkness penalty in 
  a 100 yard radius area if the darkness penalty was more than -5 to begin with), it is visible for miles under 
  the proper lighting conditions. The spell does no damage and may not be targeted.  
  Duration: 20 seconds 
  Base Cost: 1, can't be maintained 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Slow Light 
  Regular 
  This spell causes light from a single artificial light source to move (or disappear) at a rate that makes it 
  visible to the naked eye. This allows light or shadow to be made to "flow" over objects which is a neat effect 
  that might even have practical purposes for a clever mage.  
  
   318 
  The speed of light (or speed of shadow) can be anything from nearly instantaneous, to a fraction of inch an 
  hour. (How people can see the light before it moves over them is a puzzle that has vexed many scholars 
  and mages. Magic is like that.)  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain (Double costs for large light sources like bonfires or kleig lights)  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Blur 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Solid Shadow 
  Area, resisted by HT 
  Creates a cool, thick, tangible darkness with the consistency of pudding.  
  This darkness slows movement to half speed and is fatiguing to move through for any length of time. It 
  blocks light, sound, taste and smell and extinguishes all uncovered lights.  
  Furthermore, it covers subjects who move through it, blocking their senses even after they come out of the 
  dark, until they spend at least 5 seconds clearing their noses, mouths, eyes and ears. Garments and goods 
  will likewise be covered with the dark. Creatures passing through the darkness or caught in it when it is first 
  cast must roll vs. HT every 10 seconds (or immediately after the spell is cast or they enter the spell area) to 
  avoid having their senses blocked.  
  Solid shadow can be "burnt off" by exposure to light, approximately 30 seconds sunlight, 1 minute for bright 
  light (like from a light bulb), more for less light.  
  Flames or magical light thrust into an area of Solid shadow will quickly be extinguished but Continual Light 
  (or a fire equal to a campfire) will neutralize 1 area of inky black for each day of Duration it has left.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 per hex, half to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Shape Darkness 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Starshine  
  Regular 
  This spell can only be cast in a darkened area. When the spell is cast it creates a planetarium dome that 
  expands to fill the room (or creates a dome 50 yards wide outdoors). This dome has no effect on vision, the 
  elements, or combat and is dispelled if any light source brighter than a campfire is brought into its area.  
  The projection will mimic the stars, planets, and moons of the planet the mage is currently on and will reflect 
  current astronomical positions (which means that a mage who casts this spell during the day could “view” 
  stars he couldn’t normally see).  
  Mages with the Astronomy skill at 12 or better can spend an extra point to make the sky reflect the 
  astronomical conditions of any time, location, or planet which they can calculate (either by magic or normal 
  means). Such hypothetical planetarium projections are only as good as the the skill of the mage.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain. For 1 point extra, the mage can create hypothetical sky conditions. 
  (This requires Astronomy 12+).  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Shape Darkness, Predict Eclipse or Astronomy skill 12+.  
  Magic Item: Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 75 points.  
  Strobe 
  Regular, resi sted by HT 
  An improved version of the Flash spell, the Strobe spell emits a blinding flash every turn!  
  Victims who are dazzled are affected just as if they had been affected by the Flash spell, but on recovering 
  from blindness they must roll vs. HT to avoid being blinded again unless they cover or avert their eyes.  
  Mercifully, the mage can narrow the focus of this spell so that it only affects a 30 or 60 degree cone rather 
  than the entire area surrounding him.  
  Since the Strobe moves with the mage it makes it impossible for the mage to use Stealth and it eliminates 
  any darkness penalty to hit him. However, the mage can’t be blinded by his own light.  
  Duration: 30 seconds 
  
   319 
  Base Cost: 6, same to maintain.

  Magic Item: Jewelry. Energy Cost: 50 points.  
  Sunglasses 
  Regular

  SS 12, Acc +2, 1/2D 30, Max 60.

  Sunshine  
  Area

  in strength and effect to natural sunlight.  
  The mage controls the intensity of the sunlight which can range from anywhere from a very cloudy day to 
  high noon on a clear day at the equator but in all cases the sunshine produced has all the effects of the real 
  thing, like warming properties and UV damage.  
  This is a very handy spell for destroying undead and other creatures which take damage from light.

  Sword of Light  
  Regular 
  This spell produces a sword-shaped area of intense, burning sunlight which can be wielded to do burn 
  damage and dazzle onlookers.  
  The sword does a flat 1d6 points of burn damage if it hits and forces anyone looking at the sword to roll vs.

  Transfer Light 
  Regular, Resisted by HT 
  This spell allows light from one source to be "spread" to another object just like you could spread flame from 
  a fire to a torch by holding the torch into the flames. The object that the light is transferred to will glow with 
  exactly the same sort of light as the original object (which will keep its light as well) for the Duration of the 
  spell.

  made to emit the glare of a neon sign.

  mesmerized. Characters who are entranced will stand motionless and oblivious to their surrounding for the

  shouldn't, fall in the wrong direction, disappear when it shouldn't, and move on its own, and generally 
  behave in a peculiar manner.  
  Normally this spell is used as a prank, but clever mages might be able to find practical uses for it.

  Making and Breaking Spells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Weaken - For half cost small items (such as ropes or straps) can be frayed so that they will break when 
  weight is put on them. For triple cost this spell can do double damage.  
  Reshape - The mage can specify which objects he wants to soften.  
  Shatter - For triple cost this spell can do double damage.  
  Ruin - The effect of this spell is to age objects as if they had been left outdoors for five years in a hot, humid 
  environment. For double cost objects can be made to age as if they had been left out for 10 years. For triple 
  cost they can be aged 100 years and even stone and ceramics will show signs of wear.  
  Disintegrate - For triple cost this spell can do double damage.  
  Dye - For double cost patterns can be created. Their artistic merit is based on the mage's Artist skill. Dyed 
  objects can be made permanent for 10 times the cost to cast the spell. Hair can be "permanently" dyed (until 
  it grows out) for double normal cost.  
  Rejoin - If a single major piece of the object is missing this spell is cast at -6 to skill.  
  Repair - If a single major piece of the object is missing this spell is cast at -10 to skill.  
  Repair Arrow - This spell can be used to repair any small, semi-expendable missile like throwing stars, 
  darts, or javelins. The G.M. can also rule that it can be used to make repairs to any small, relatively simple 
  item.  
  Shatterproof - For double cost the item can have its DR and HT tripled, weapons go up by two quality 
  levels to a maximum of Very Fine. For triple cost the item can have its DR and HT quadrupled and weapons 
  go up by three quality levels to a maximum of Very Fine. Any item can be permanently shatterproofed for 
  100 times the base spell cost per pound of object.  
  Copy - Illustrations and maps can also be copied. For double cost colored illustrations can be copied. The 
  quality is similar to that of a modern photocopy - copies are easily distinguished from originals.  
  Sharpen - Halve the costs to cast this spell so that 1 point of energy sharpens 12 inches of blade. Minimum 
  cost to cast is still 1. Any edged weapon except a sword will have a foot or less of sharpened area, so things 
  like axes, halberds, and spears can all be sharpened for 1 point. Needless to say this spell only works for 
  cutting or impaling weapons. Crushing weapons don't get this bonus.  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Toughen - For each doubling of cost DR of the item can be doubled.  
  Fasten - See also Animate Rope 
  Animate Object - See also Animation 
  Weapon Self - For double costs equipment and carried objects transform as well.

  Attach 
  Regular, resisted by ST 
  
   323 
  Causes one non-living object to become permanently attached to another object until the caster wishes it to 
  be released (or conditions specified by the caster allow the object to be released). Normal jostling or motion 
  won't dislodge the item, but serious attempts to remove the item are treated as contests of ST vs. the skill 
  level of the mage. For example, a key could be "permanently" held in a lock, a piece of wood could be 
  "stuck" held onto a workbench, or a sword could be held in a crack in a stone by using this spell. The spell 
  can also be used to permanently attach useful or valuable items to a person's body - wedding rings or 
  artificial limbs for example.

  Constriction 
  Regular, resisted by ST or by DX-4 
  Like the Shrink Object spell, but objects affected by this spell won’t stop shrinking if they encounter 
  resistance and they shrink to 25% normal size. If this spell is cast on a piece of armor (or a similar object) 
  the subject must win a contest of ST vs. the item’s HT. If he fails, he takes 1 point of crushing damage to the 
  affected area. On a critical failure, he takes 2 points of damage. On a critical success, the item breaks or 
  tears (at a strap or seam) and the spell ends.  
  The victim can also roll vs. DX-4 (DX for held or carried items like shield straps or backpack straps) to 
  attempt to shed the item before it can hurt him. If he is successful he drops the item but isn’t damaged by it 
  either.  
  If the constricting item wraps around the victim’s throat, it will begin to Strangle the victim. Damage isn’t 
  increased, but use the special Strangling effects from the Basic Set.

  Magic Item: Pen or pencil. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Duplicate (VH)  
  Regular

  have raw materials of equal or better quality and quantity to those used to make the original. Inferior quality 
  materials or different materials can be used for the duplicate, but in that case the "duplicate" won't be an 
  exact copy, but instead will be an obvious fake, possibly of inferior quality.  
  Finely crafted, unique, or complex items will be at a penalty to duplicate. For example, creating a duplicate 
  of an ordinary piece of rope would be at no penalty. Creat ing a duplicate of a Fine quality sword would be at

  pointed comments and hastily leave the area.  
  Anyone bold enough to enter the affected area must roll vs. DX to avoid stepping in something disgusting. A 
  critical failure means you slip and fall. . . people react to you at -2 until you get a bath.  
  While this spell is mostly used as a practical joke or as a way to humiliate rivals, plant mages have 
  discovered that magical filth makes first-rate fertilizer. It will also ruin fine fabrics, paper, and other delicate 
  objects.  
  This spell counters the Clean spell and is countered in turn by the Cloud of Purification.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 2. Each doubling of cost doubles the volume of material created.

  corners, unlocked containers will be opened and their contents will be dumped, collections of items will be 
  scattered, metal will tarnish, knots will be untied, ropes will be tangled and so forth. The spell won't do direct 
  damage to any item, but it could very well allow an object to come to harm if it is removed from it's container 
  or is released from its fastenings. Also, dirt sensitive items like books or precision instruments could very 
  well be damaged by dirt.  
  If this spell is cast on a person it will dirty, untie, and disorganize everything they are carrying or wearing, but

  as the caster's own hand and the mage can magically "feel" with it, but it can't be used to attack, nor can it 
  reach any further than the mage's real arms.  
  The hand gives +1 or more to any task where the GM rules that a third hand would be useful. Multiple 
  castings of this spell will allow the mage to create extra helping hands, but they won't allow the mage to work

  up dust, debris, garbage, and assorted junk from an area, and tidies up, secures, and organizes larger 
  items.  
  Items will be restored to their original order if there was some organization to them before, otherwise the 
  spell just sorts them by some logical criteria and piles or stacks them in an appropriate, out-of-the-way spot.  
  Alchemists and collectors should be wary of the spell's interpretation of "debris;" many alchemical 
  ingredients could easily be regarded as loose dust. 
  The caster must specify any areas or items that he does not want "cleaned" when he begins casting this 
  spell. Counters the Foul spell.

  Some objects cannot be improved in quality, just because of their nature. For example, pure gold or flawless 
  gems can't be made any more valuable than they already are.

  Mage’s Edge 
  Regular 
  Mage's Edge makes a solid, non-living, non- animate, blunt object, or part of one, able to cut for one second, 
  even though it appears blunt to all senses save touch.  
  One use for this spell is to make a temporary knife out of a stick when the caster needs to cut something. 
  Another use is to make a blunt weapon temporarily do cutting damage instead of crushing damage. And a 
  third usage is to lay a trap for the unwary. Any object or part of an object under the effect of Mage's Edge will 
  cut any hand that grasps it 
  
   330 
  Thus, a pencil, coin, or sword hilt could become the source of a painful and perhaps debilitating wound. If 
  the object is grasped lightly, such as a calm person might grasp a pencil, damage will be 1d-4 to the hand, 
  minimum of 1 for an hand with no DR. If the object is grasped hard, as any person might grasp a sword-hilt 
  in preparation for battle, damage to the hand will be 1d-1, minimum of 1 for a hand with no DR.  
  A Will roll must be made not to drop the object, with a negative modifier based on the damage received. The 
  trapped object does not have to be grasped to cut - it could be stepped on, laid on, even eaten - players and 
  G.M.s are encouraged to use their imagination.  
  The mage must be able to see the target object in order to cast Mage's Edge upon it. If the target object is 
  worn or carried by someone else, they get a roll vs. Will to resist.  
  Magic Items give their owner +1 to their Will roll to resist this spell for every 100 points of Fatigue it 
  took to create the item.  
  Base Cost: 1 per 6" of edge. Typical costs: 2 for a pencil, sword-hilt, or boot sole, 3 for a club, 5 for 
  a two-handed club. The caster may maintain the spell at half cost (rounded up) but only if they are 
  holding the object. For double cost the edge does +1 damage. For triple cost it does +2 damage.  
  Time to Cast: 4 seconds.  
  Duration: 1 minute, then 1 second once triggered.  
  Prerequisites: Sharpen.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 450 points. An item can be permanently made 
  sharp by means of this spell for 50 times the Base Cost.  
  Magic Mark 
  Regular 
  Creates an indelible mark on any surface or substance in the colors the caster wishes. The caster must 
  draw the mark that he wishes to have appear in the air as he casts the spell, but he need not touch the 
  surface to be marked.  
  If the caster wishes, the mark can glow slightly, so that it will be visible in darkness. The mark can not be 
  erased, and will "bleed through" paint or other substances spread over it, but it can blocked by a tapestry, 
  sign or layer of cloth.  
  Duration: 1 week 
  Base Cost: 2 points 
  Magic Item: Wand or Pen. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Magic Scissors

  scissors at bay. The scissors are vulnerable to damage. They have PD 2, DR 3 and HP 3 and can be 
  attacked at -4 to hit.  
  Duration: 10 seconds

  The quality of armor or weapons can't be changed by means of this spell, but ordinary clothing can be 
  turned into winter clothing of a similar sort, giving it DR 1. Items can be made to look more "flashy" by means 
  of this spell, but the basic value of the item can't be changed. For example, a robe could be made to look 
  like expensive silk from a distance, but close inspection reveals the real nature of the material.  
  Unlike an illusion spell, changes wrought by this spell are "real" for the Duration of the spell. For example, a 
  light jacket transformed into a parka by this spell would keep its wearer warm.

  Metaspells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic  
  Scryguard and Scrywall - This spell will also block the various "(Element) Vision" spells.  
  Spell Shield - If the shield is breached the effective skill level of the shield is reduced by 1.  
  Detect Magic - This spell no longer requires the Magery advantage to cast. It will also detect the presence 
  of magic on a person or in an area, however, a second casting is required to determine the sort of magic. If 
  magic on a person can only be detected by means of the Aura spell, then Detect Magic automatically fails.  
  If the mage is not familiar with the spell on an item or person, the GM should just tell what college the spell 
  belongs to. If the magic is inherent (due to a magical Knack or ability), then the GM should just tell the player 
  that the creature is inherently magical and leave it at that.  
  Dispel Magic - For double cost, the mage can select which spells he wishes to remove.  
  Pentagram - The term "pentagram" can refer to any area of permanent magical protection such as magic 
  circles, magic squares, hexagrams, and so forth.  
  Bless - Blessings can't be "stacked", but they can be made cumulative. If two blessings are cast the first 
  blessing (or the more powerful one if they were cast simultaneously) takes precedence and the second 
  blessing doesn't go into effect until the first blessing expires.  
  Remove Curse  - Essentially, this spell is a "super" version of the Dispel Magic spell and can be used 
  instead of that spell when attempting to remove any non-area spell. If it is used instead of Dispel Magic, it is 
  at +10 to the contest of spell skills.  
  Drain Mana - Any area can be permanently drained of mana for 100 times the basic cost. Magic Item: A 
  box, chest, or carpet which creates a small, portable "no mana zone". Cost to Create: 2,000 per hex.  
  Restore Mana - Any area can have its mana permanently restored for 100 times the Base Cost.  
  Link - Reduce casting time to 1 hour. A link on an area can be made permanent for 100 times the Base 
  Cost.

  Aim 
  Regular 
  This spell lets the caster improve his accuracy with a missile spell. This spell cannot be used to improve the 
  caster’s skill with the spell, only his accuracy.  
  Duration: Length of time it takes to cast one missile spell.  
  Base Cost: 2 per +1 bonus, up to +4 maximum.  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds per +1 bonus.  
  Prerequisite : Bless

  Alacrity (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the casting time of a subsequent spell to be halved. The other spell can't be a ceremonial 
  casting, nor can its casting time exceed the Duration of the Alacrity spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 points, can't be maintained.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Reflex  
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Works for Wearer only. Energy Cost: 500 points. Mage only.  
  Alter Probability (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This powerful spell allows the mage to attempt to alter the chance that a given event will or won’t occur. The 
  cost of the spell depends on the unmodified probability of the event and its importance in the grand scheme 
  of things. Trivial events can be modified easily. World shaking events are almost impossible for one person 
  to modify.  
  In game terms, this spell allows the mage to add or subtract from a given die roll. The GM determines the 
  cost of the spell based on his assessment of its probability of occurring naturally and its importance in the 
  campaign.  
  If the GM decides that a given event won’t happen or can’t happen, he can rule that the spell automatically 
  fails - after the mage has spent the energy to cast it. Otherwise, he should assign a probability of an event 
  happening that ranges from 3 (almost impossible) to 18 (almost a certainty) and then roll 3d6 to see if things 
  come to pass as predicted. If the mage has managed to alter the probability of the event, then the event 
  desired by the mage somehow comes to pass. The GM must also insist that the mage describe only one 
  effect, even if several effects are linked.  
  For example, saying “I want to alter probability so that the Duke of Fnordia dies and is replaced by his 
  second cousin Sid.” is not valid because the mage is requesting that two different, linked events occur - the 
  Duke’s death and Sid’s ascension.  
  However, saying “I want to alter probability so that Sid becomes Duke of Fnordia” is legitimate since only 
  one change to probability is requested.  
  It is up to the GM to determine exactly how the wizard’s vision is implemented and he is certainly free to 
  introduce factors and consequences that the mage never dreamed of!  
  For example, in the above example, the GM could rule that the Duke of Fnordia goes on a long vacation and 
  installs Sid as regent, or that an army invades drives out the rightful Duke and installs Sid as a puppet 
  governor!  
  Unlike a Wish spell, Alter Probability cannot be used to change the past or to create situations that could not 
  naturally occur. Specifically, Alter Probability can’t be used to bestow or revoke magical or psionic powers or 
  influence divine favor. It can, however, lead a person into a situation where they could easily acquire such 
  things.  
  For example, making a request like “I want to alter probability so a wizard gives me the knack of Flight.” 
  would fail. Saying, “I want to alter probability so that I find a wizard would could give me the knack of Flight.” 
  is legitimate.  
  As a rule of thumb, trivial matters (tomorrow’s weather, the price of beans) can be modified at a cost of 1 
  mana point per +1 or -1 to the die roll.  
  • 
  Minor matters (like the outcome of a local election or the success or failure of a small business venture) 
  or trivial matters that the mage has a personal stake in ( like the weather tomorrow if he’s going on a 
  picnic or the price of beans if he’s a bean farmer) can be modified for a cost of 2 points per +1 or -1.  
  • 
  Major matters (the health of a person, the fate of a business) can be modified for 5 points per level.  
  • 
  Crucial matters (the life of a person, the fate of a city) cost 10 points per level.  
  • 
  Vital matters (the lives of many people, the fate of a region) can be affected for 20 points per level.  
  • 
  World-shaping matters (the lives of a nation, the fate of a country) can be affected for 50 points per 
  level.  
  Duration: Variable (until the probability desired occurs).  
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: See above. Can’t be maintained.  
  
   343 
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Bless, Curse, 10 other Metaspells. Magic Item: Altar, Throne, or other 
  heavy, bulky object. Energy Cost: 50,000. Mage only. Such items are very rare and are highly 
  prized. Kingdoms have been won or lost for such a thing.  
  Annihilation (VH) 
  Regular; resisted by HT 
  This spell instantly and irrevocably disintegrates a living being! If the spell is not resisted successfully, the 
  caster rolls 1 to 4 dice (depending on the energy in the spell) and compares the total to the victim's HT. If it 
  is equal to or greater than the victim's HT, the victim is annihilated! If not, the victim takes this amount of 
  damage. All possessions of an annihilated victim fall to the ground. A Critical Failure with this spell costs the 
  caster 1 HT permanently! (Always use the larger of the victim's HT or Hit Points).  
  Duration: Permanent.  
  Base Cost: 4, plus 2 per die of effect, to a maximum of four dice (12 Fatigue).  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 3; Disintegrate, Deathtouch and Steal HT. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,500 points. 
  Anti-Magic Ray (VH)  
  Missile 
  Similar to the Drain mana spell, except that it can be thrown as a missile and it is temporary. If it hits, the hex 
  or creature it hits becomes a temporary no mana zone. The missile has SS 12, Acc 2, Max 40. There is no 
  1/2D range.  
  If cast on a person any spells which affect the character are dispelled for the Duration of the spell. 
  Characters with Magery and similar magical advantages (or disadvantages) must roll vs. HT or lose them for 
  the Duration.  
  Any Magic Items the character is carrying temporarily must roll vs. HT or temporarily lose their powers.  
  If cast on a hex, any spells which affect that hex are suppressed or dispelled.  
  Spells affected by the ray are allowed a Quick Contest vs. the ray as if a Counterspell had been cast on 
  them. Permanent spells only cease working for the Duration of the spell.  
  Highly magical creatures take physical damage from this spell. Wholly magical creatures (e.g. ghosts, 
  elementals) must roll vs. HT or take 1 point of damage each turn. Partially magical creatures (e.g. griffins, 
  dragons, ellylon) must roll vs. HT every 10 seconds or take 1 point of damage.  
  Duration: Instantaneous, effects last for 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 10 points, can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Drain Mana 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 2,500 points. Mage only.  
  Arcane Connection 
  Enchantment 
  This spell turns an object associated with the subject into a magical focus that allows the mage to cast spells 
  on the owner of the object as if the mage were touching him. If a mage has an Arcane Connection he need 
  not roll to hit with missile spells or spells which require the mage to touch the subject and no long-distance 
  modifiers apply if he casts spell on the subject at long range.  
  An Arcane Connection is a handy thing since it allows a mage to cast beneficial spells on his friends at a 
  distance, but any mage can use an Arcane Connection so care must be taken to ensure that a Connection 
  doesn't fall into hostile hands. More typically, an arcane focus is used to cast hostile spells.  
  The object used to make the Connection is very important. If the object was something that the subject only 
  touched briefly or had minimal contact with (like a tool the subject touched once, or the ground where he 
  walked) the mage is at -10 to effective skill. If the object is something that the subject wore or used but 
  wasn't particularly attached to (like a pair of shoes which the subject only wore once and then gave away), 
  the mage is at -5 to effective skill. If the object is something that the subject used or wore occasionally (like a 
  tool or a piece of clothing) then he is at -3 to skill. If the object was a favorite or treasured item or was worn 
  or used regularly for many years, then the mage has no penalty to his skill. If the Arcane Connection was 
  once part of the subject's body (things like hair or fingernail cuttings) then the mage gets +2 to skill.  
  Base Cost: 100 points 
  
   344 
  Prerequisites: Enchant, Seeker.  
  Autofire Missile (VH)  
  Missile 
  For every damaging Missile spell (Fireball, etc.), there is a corresponding Autofire version.  
  Like Improved Missiles, Autofire Missiles take but a second to create (which can be reduced for high skill) 
  and all of the energy is spent at the time of casting. However, the Autofire version produces a number of 
  small Missiles all at once instead of a single large one. These smaller Missiles cannot be "held" - they must 
  be released as soon as the spell is cast. A special Spell Throwing (Autofire) skill is needed for each type of 
  Autofire Missile.  
  Autofire Missiles have the same ACC, 1/2D and Max as the usual Missile of the same type, but SS is 10, not 
  13. Use the autofire rules to determine how many Missiles hit the target. Autofire Missiles can be spread 
  over multiple targets, and all regular rules for high RoF weapons apply.  
  Base Cost: 2 to12. Each fatigue point buys 1d worth of Missiles. The caster decides on the size of 
  each Missile in the burst (1d, 2d or 3d), and the damage is distributed amongst the appropriate 
  number of Missiles of this size, with the excess being lost. RoF equals the number of missiles in the 
  burst. If there are more than four Missiles in the burst, divide the burst into groups of 4. Autofire 
  Exploding Fireballs cost double!  
  Time to Cast: 1 second.  
  Prerequisites Great Haste and the Improved Missile spell of the same type.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 10 times the cost of a comparable non-autofire 
  version of that Magic Item.  
  Backcast (VH) 
  Regular  
  Backcast is a powerful and dangerous spell which allows the mage to produce the effect of a spell instantly 
  and then perform the casting in reverse. Backcast is cast at the same time as the spell it effects. The mage 
  may take a fatigue-reduction for the spell that is cast backwards if he would normally be able to do so, but 
  may not take a time-reduction for it and must go through the full casting ritual for it as if he knew the spell at 
  level 12. If the mage successfully casts the spell, but does not immediately perform the casting-ritual for the 
  Backcast spell, he will weaken reality in his immediate vicinity. To determine the effect of the “reality warp” 
  the GM rolls 3d. This roll cannot be modified, but it can be modified by the Luck advantage. On a 3-5, 
  something strange but wonderful happens . The mage might gain an extra level of Magery, or he might heal 
  a point of damage, or he might learn to understand the language of the birds. Most effects are temporary 
  and last for no more than 1d6+6 hours. However, the GM might rule that some minor effect actually 
  becomes permanent.  
  On 6-15, the reality warp wreaks havoc on the mage’s body and he takes 4d of damage. Due to the magical 
  nature of the damage, this injury can’t be magically healed 
  On a 16-18, something awful happens. The GM should be creative without killing the character outright. The 
  mage could be transported to another dimension, he could be turned into an undead being, he might attract 
  the attention of a powerful demon, or one of his limbs could magically vanish, never to appear again. Bad 
  effects are permanent.  
  The mage must perform the “post-casting” in the same place that the spell was cast from. This means that 
  while the mage could use this spell to cast Teleport or Gate on himself he would automatically create a 
  Reality Warp since he moved from the location where the spell was cast!  
  Backcast is also incompatible with certain missile spells which require the mage to spend time building up 
  the power of a missile. For example, if a mage casts a 3d Fireball, he can either spend the next second after 
  the spell is cast to throw the spell and create a Reality Warp or he can cast the spell and then spend three 
  seconds post-casting the spell, which means that he effectively gained no time at all.  
  Base Cost: 3 points 
  Prerequisites: Magery 3, Simulcast, Great Haste, 5 other Metaspells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Energy Cost: 2,500 points.  
  Backfire (VH) 
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  This spell makes it much more likely that a mage's spell will backfire. It gives -1 to skill to cast any spell.  
  
   345 
  If the affected spell fails, the spell backfires on a roll of 14+ (or 4 more than the caster's skill with the spell, 
  whichever is less). Backfires caused by this spell are "normal" and use the Spell Backfire table. Spells 
  already cast when the spell is cast can't be affected.  
  Duration: 10 seconds, or one spell, whichever is less.  
  Base Cost: 5 points 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Curse 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points. Mage only. (b) Clothing or 
  Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Bankruptcy (VH) 
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  This is a specialized version of the Curse spell. When cast on the subject, his next source of cash income 
  will be reduced by 10%, or losses will be increased by 10%.  
  If used to influence the outcome of a "zero sum" game, like a contract negotiation or the outcome of a 
  wager, this spell gives -2 to the relevant skill for one roll, but doesn't guarantee an outright loss.  
  Duration: Permanent (one die roll or the next time the character makes money)  
  Base Cost: 10 points 
  Time to Cast: 1 hour 
  Prerequisite: Curse, Prosperity 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Benediction 
  Regular 
  Temporarily con fers the Luck advantage on the subject. This effect lasts until the spell Duration ends or until 
  the subject achieves some notable success or avoids some major catastrophe.  
  Duration: 12 hours 
  Base Cost: 5, can't be maintained (for 10 points the Extraordinary Luck advantage can be 
  conferred.)  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Bless 
  Magic Item: Jewelry, Clothing or Charm. Energy Cost: 3,000 points.  
  Break Connections 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the subject to break the mystical connections he imparts to hair, fingernail trimmings, 
  clothing, and so forth, making objects affected by this spell useless for creating a Poppet or an Arcane 
  Connection. In addition, objects which have this spell cast on them give -4 to all spells which use an item to 
  learn something about its owner.  
  If this spell is cast on the subject's body, it will retroactively sever the connection between the subject and 
  any hair, scales, blood, etc. they might have shed up to a month previously.  
  Base Cost: 1 for the subject's hair, nails, fingernails, etc. 2 for the subject's body and everything he 
  is carrying. 3 for the contents of a room, 5 for the contents of a large house, 7 for everything the 
  subject ever owned or touched.  
  Duration: 1 month for body parts, permanent for objects.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Break Ley Line Tap (VH)  
  Regular, resisted by Tap Ley Line skill 
  This spell functions identically to Break Powerstone Tap, except that it allows the caster to prevent another 
  mage from using a ley line. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 6, 3 to maintain 
  
   346 
  Prerequisites: Seek Ley Line, Break Powerstone Tap, Magery 3, Tap Ley Line 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. Mage only.  
  Break Node Tap (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by Tap Node skill 
  This spell functions identically to Break Ley Line Tap, except that it allows the caster to prevent another 
  mage from using a node.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 8, 4 to maintain 
  Prerequisites: Seek Node, Break Ley Line Tap, Magery 4, Tap Node 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. Mage only.  
  Break Powerstone Tap (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by Tap Powerstone skill 
  This spell allows the caster to prevent someone else from using a powerstone. As with all power source 
  manipulation spells and skills, the long range modifiers for seek spells should be used as a penalty if the 
  caster is not physically touching the powerstone. If the mage the caster is trying to block fails the resistance 
  roll, he can try to roll his Tap Powerstone skill vs. the caster's Break Powerstone Tap skill to reestablish 
  contact. The caster can choose to block any or all opposing mages from using the source while freely 
  permitting others to use it, but each opposing mage resists separately. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain.  
  Prerequisites: Seek Powerstone, Magery 2, Tap Powerstone 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. Mage only.  
  Casting Circle 
  Special 
  A casting circle is similar to the Pentagram spell, except that rather than protecting the mage or containing 
  magical creatures it aids in the casting of spells and mitigates the effects of magical backfires. 
  A mage who casts a spell from within a Casting Circle gets +1 to any skill roll to cast a spell while the circle 
  lasts. Additionally, the circle will turn any one critical failure with a magical spell into a normal failure if the 
  mage can make a second successful skill roll to "control" the failed spell.  
  If a casting circle prevents a critical failure, it is automatically dispelled.  
  Like a pentagram, a casting circle must be physically drawn on the floor and can be disrupted by rubbing out 
  the lines. (Note that the "casting circle" is a generic term. The actual form of the markings can be any one of 
  a number of magical symbols.)  
  Duration: 1 minute or until critical failure on a spell 
  Base Cost: 10 per hex protected, same to maintain. A casting circle can be made permanent for 10 
  times the Base Cost of the spell.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds per hex (This time is spent physically drawing the line, and can't be 
  reduced no matter how much energy is available or how much skill the caster has.)  
  Prerequisite : Bless, Pentagram 
  Chain Missile 
  Missile 
  Allows a missile spell to do part of its effect on one subject, then leap to another subject, and so on until the 
  energy in the spell is used up. The missile jumps from the nearest target to the furthest, and does damage to 
  each according to the wishes of the caster, with a minimum of 1 die of damage per subject. However, a 
  successful resistance roll by any one subject disrupts the spell and damage not yet discharged is lost.  
  Duration: 10 seconds, plus the Duration of the Missile.  
  Base Cost: 1 per point of damage in the missile spell.  
  Time to Cast: 1 second per point of energy.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Link, 3 missile spell plus the missile spell to be chained.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Casts one sort of spell as a Chain Missile spell. Energy Cost: 
  Triple the cost of an equivalent non-chained Magic Item.  
  
   347 
  Change Vis 
  Regular 
  This spell changes the type of Vis from one Form (or College for non-Hermetic mages) to another Form that 
  the mage is familiar with. There is no energy cost for this spell, but 1 pawn of Vis is consumed for every 10 
  pawns converted to the new Form.  
  Base Cost: 0 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Measure Vis 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Chant 
  Special 
  Chant allows the mage to sing or recite an incantation which has magical or holy power. As long as the 
  mage remains motionless and concentrates he can sing or recite incantations of power which pull extra 
  mana through his body, allowing him to “self-power” a spell.  
  The mage first begins the Chant, he then can cast a singleRegular spell and use the mana drawn through 
  him by the Chant to maintain the spell. 
  However, in order to maintain the spell with the chant, the mage must be able to sustain the spell just by 
  using mana gained by the chanting. If the mage has to draw mana from himself to maintain the spell, the 
  Chant spell ends, though the mage can still extend the spell’s Duration by using his own power.  
  If the mage is wounded or is otherwise distracted he must roll vs. Will to keep his concentration, otherwise 
  the spell ends. Also, for every hour of chanting the mage must make a HT or Will roll. If either roll fails the 
  spell ends because the mage was physically unable to continue or because he lost concentration.  
  The amount of mana gained by the chant is as follows:  
  Skill Level 
  Mana  
  10-12 
  1/2  
  13-17 
  1  
  18-22 
  2  
  23+ 
  3 
  At the GM’s option the mage might get bonuses to this skill if he has Singing or Musical Instrument skills. He 
  might also get bonuses to skill for using chant to cast a particularly appropriate spell. The exact details are 
  left the to GM’s imagination. 
  A variant of this spell called “Dance” is also available. It works identically to Chant, but the mage must dance 
  for the spell to work. 
  Duration: Indefinite (see above)  
  Base Cost: None. Energy gained from this spell can only be used to maintain spells, not to cast 
  them.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute, may be continued indefinitely.  
  Prerequisites: Magery, Regain ST 
  Combine 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the caster to throw two spells at once. The first spell is cast normally, but is saved until the 
  second spell is completed. Some spells will change or cancel if they are combined. For example, Water Jet 
  would cancel Fireball.  
  Range, Duration and other effects are always those of the less useful spell. If the caster wishes it, the 
  second spell can be slightly delayed until the first spell takes effect, but in this case, the second spell has no 
  effect if the first spell fails. Likewise, if either spell fails the whole combined effect fails. Effects of Critical 
  Failures are up to the twisted ingenuity of the GM.  
  For example, Haram wishes to combine Dispel Magic and Fireball so that he can simultaneously breach a 
  foe's Fire Resistance and Reverse spells and then strike before his opponent can put up another defense. In 
  this case, he wants to slightly delay the fireball so that the Dispel Magic spell can drop the defensive spells 
  first. First he spends 2 seconds and three points to cast the Combine spell. Then he casts Dispel Magic for 3 
  points and 3 seconds. The effects of dispel magic are "held" and don't take effect until he casts his final 
  spell. Finally, he casts a 2d6 fireball for 2 points and takes 2 seconds to do it.  
  
   348 
  Once the fireball is successfully cast, the entire combined effect goes off. If the Dispel Magic spell is 
  successful, the fireball takes effect on the same turn. If the Dispel Magic spell fails, the energy dedicated to 
  the Fireball is lost and Haram has wasted a lot of time and energy for nothing.  
  Duration: The Duration of the two subsequent spells.  
  Base Cost: 3 points.  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds plus the time 
  Prerequisite : Link 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 1,500 points. 
  Concentrate Vis 
  Regular 
  This spell will concentrate the Vis that is resident in a magical creature or object into a single body part or 
  object that the mage can easily gather and transport.  
  The mage must touch the subject creature or object in order to cast the spell. In addition the subject must be 
  unliving and unresisting. If the subject is a dead creature, it must freshly dead (within 24 hours) in order for 
  the spell to work.  
  When the spell is cast, the magic is concentrated into one easily detachable, relatively permanent, portable 
  part of the object. For example, Vis from an enchanted tree might be concentrated into a leaf, or Vis from a 
  magic bird might be concentrated into a wing or feather. The mage will know (but cannot specify) which part 
  of the object holds the Vis.  
  Base Cost: 3 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Convert Vis 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Condition  
  Regular 
  This spell is similar to the Link and Delay spells, but this spell makes a second spell trigger only when 
  certain conditions are met. For example, a spell could be set up so that it is triggered only if people (or a 
  certain sort of people) are in the area of effect, when a person of a certain type touches an item, when 
  people are looking at the place hex where the magic spell will go off (or not looking), etc. Any condition that 
  the mage can imagine and which the GM will allow can be specified, but once set, the Condition can’t be 
  changed unless the Condition spell and any spells it modifies are all canceled.  
  While this spell exists, both it, and any spells it modifies are considered to be “on” spells.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 4, same to maintain. The Duration of this spell can be made indefinite (and self-
  powering, so it no longer counts as an “on” spell) for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Link, Delay 
  Contagious Curse 
  Regular, resisted by Will-4 
  As Damnation, but the effect of the curse is to alienate or destroy the victim's friends, family, associates, and 
  possessions before finally destroying the victim. The victim need not be present when the spell is cast.  
  Duration: Permanent, until death of victim.  
  Base Cost: 1,000 
  Prerequisite : Curse, Damnation 
  Control Randomness 
  Regular 
  In any case in which a random outcome is deliberately being generated, the mage can control this outcome. 
  Such deliberate randomization includes the shuffling of a pack of cards, the casting of lots, or the roll of dice. 
  If the randomizer in question occupies more than one hex, the mage must pay the casting cost for each hex 
  in the radius.  
  Base Cost: 2 points, cannot be maintained.  
  
   349 
  Time to Cast: 2 Seconds.  
  Duration: Until one outcome is produced.  
  Prerequisites: Enchant, Find Weakness.  
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Cornering Missile 
  Missile 
  Allows any missile spell cast by the mage to make one 90 degree turn, allowing spells to be thrown around 
  corners or from cover. Missiles which are aimed at targets the caster cannot see have limited "homing" 
  ability and strike on a 12 or the caster's Thrown Missile skill less range and target size modifiers, whichever 
  is less.  
  Duration: 10 seconds or the Duration of one missile spell, whichever is less.  
  Base Cost: 2 points 
  Prerequisite : Magery, 3 Missile spells, plus the missile spell to be modified.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: Double the cost of an equivalent Magic Item 
  without this spell on it.  
  Create Mana Node (VH) 
  Enchantment 
  Certain areas naturally produce mana crystals - the tangible form of magical energy. This spell allows the 
  mage to turn an area within a high mana zone into a Mana Node which produces mana crystals.  
  In order for the spell to work, the node must be relatively permanent natural area or structure with some 
  unusual feature or history which makes it a suitable as a potential mana node. For example, a bush couldn’t 
  be a mana node, but a grove of ancient oaks would be. A modern hospital couldn’t be a mana node but an 
  ancient temple of healing could house a node.  
  It is up to the GM to determine the factors which make an area suitable. At the very least the site must be at 
  least 50 years old (or less if some particularly noteworthy event occurred there) and it must have great 
  mystery, natural beauty, natural power and/or important culture or history surrounding it.  
  For example, in the U.S. the Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam, the Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall 
  could all be turned into Magic Nodes (assuming that they were in high mana areas to begin with).  
  In order to limit the cost of the enchantment, the mage can create an aspected mana node, whose mana 
  crystals only work to power spells from one college of magic. Like a normal mana node, the location must be 
  a relatively permanent natural location with some unusual feature to recommend it. However, the site must 
  have some sort association with the aspected college of spells. For example, an aspected mana node 
  dedicated to Necromancy couldn’t be placed in the middle of a temple of healing. It could however be placed 
  on an old battlefield.  
  In any case, when the features which “power” the mana node vanish, the mana node vanishes with it. For 
  example, if a forest or temple which housed a node is destroyed, the node will be destroyed to. However, 
  the energy that powers the node lingers for some time, so physical destruction of a place doesn’t necessarily 
  destroy the node as long as the memory and the “power” of that place remains.  
  Duration: Permanent, until the nod is destroyed and forgotten.  
  Base Cost: 1000 per mana point of mana crystals produced per day. 500 if the mana crystals are 
  aspected.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Restore Mana, Increase Mana, Crystallize Mana.  
  Create Starwater Well (VH) 
  Area 
  Permanently raises the mana Threshold of an area by gathering and storing Starwater. Each casting will 
  raise the Threshold by 0.1. Success or failure by only 1 or 2 will also raise the Flow of an area by -1. Critical 
  Failure will cost the caster one level of Magery.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 500 
  Time to Cast: Variable 
  Prerequisites: Magery 3, Restore Mana, Gather Starwater 
  
   350 
  Crystallize Mana 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to “crystallize” mana into a tangible form which can be stored and used like 
  powerstones. However, unlike powerstones once mana crystals are used they vanish.  
  In spite of their name mana crystals can take the form of any small object - coins, nuts, berries, rocks, 
  pieces of candy, etc. However, unlike their non-magical counterparts, mana crystals cannot be destroyed 
  except by magic. Ruin spells and the like don’t affect them. They can also be aspected so that they one 
  work when powering spells of one college of magic.  
  Mana crystals strongly radiate magic. Anyone with the Mage Sense advantage will be able to detect their 
  power if they can see them. By holding a mana crystal, a mage can tell if it is aspected.  
  Dispel Magic will destroy mana crystals. However, the mage attempting to destroy them must win a contest 
  of skills between his spell skill and the spell skill of the mage who created the crystals.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 20 per crystal. Each crystal holds 1 point of mana. Aspected crystals cost 10 points 
  each.  
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Increase Mana, 4 Other Metaspells 
  Magic Item: Container or Wand. Energy Cost: 5,000. Mage only.  
  Curse of Generations 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Affects victim and all his descendents to the seventh generation. The victims need not be present when the 
  spell is cast.  
  Duration: Permanent, until death of 7th generation of descendents of the victim 
  Base Cost: 1,000 per -5 points of disadvantages 
  Prerequisite : Curse, Damnation 
  Damnation 
  Regular, resisted b y Will 
  Gives the subject Unluckiness disadvantage, or otherwise inflicts some terrible curse on the victim.  
  The cost depends on the degree of curse:  
  • 
  Embarrassing - Nuisance value, possibly a minor negative reaction or distinctive looks (no shadow, 
  nose grows 6", foul smell). 50 points 
  • 
  Frustrating - Minor hassles for character. (touch warps wood, animals and children flee character, can't 
  use weapons) 100 points 
  • 
  Troublesome - Major hassles for character (can't wear armor, becomes weak as a kitten in the face of 
  danger) 250 points 
  • 
  Dangerous - Will eventually destroy the character (must kill a man every night, must compulsively seek 
  battle but can't wear armor or use weapons, afflicted with a wasting disease). 500 points 
  A good rule of thumb is that Damnation costs approximately 5 energy points per character point of 
  disadvantages conferred on the victim.  
  Base Cost: See above.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Prerequisite : Miracle, Benediction 
  Damper 
  Regular 
  This spell gives the caster some insurance against the worst effects of Critical Failures on spell rolls, by 
  allowing him a +4 or -4 shift towards "10" on the Critical Spell Failure table. Once the spell has served its 
  purpose, it is dispelled and must be recast..  
  Multiple damper spells can't be "stacked" nor can Damper be used to avoid the effects of other critical 
  failures. Also, Damper can't be used to lessen the effects of critical failures for Ceremonial Magic or 
  Enchantments.  
  Duration: Until a critical failure occurs.  
  Base Cost: 4. Can’t be maintained.

  "Low"). Multiply costs by 100 to make the effects permanent.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Drain Mana 
  Destroy Connection  
  Regular, resisted by Spell 
  By using this spell, the mage can destroy an object enchanted with the Arcane Connection spell. In order for 
  the spell to work the mage must touch the subject on whom the Arcane Connection is focused and win a 
  Contest of his Destroy Connection spell vs. the other mage's Arcane Connection spell. If he wins the 
  enchanted object is destroyed. The Arcane Connection need not be present and no long distance modifiers 
  apply.

  link between the mage and his subject.  
  Base Cost: 5 points 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Arcane Connection

  Dueling Jet 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  Similar to Flame Jet, except that damage numbs and stuns the target rather than inflicting permanent injury.  
  A hit with this spell causes a temporary loss of hit points. If the victim is reduced below 0 HP he must roll to 
  stay conscious, just like normal, however he does not have to take HT rolls to stay alive.  
  In all other respects the damage done is “normal” - pain, stunning, crippling and special effects from hits on 
  specific target locations all work normally.  
  Lost hit points return at a rate of 1 per minute after 1d6+1 minutes. If the victim is knocked out by this spell, 
  he will regain consciousness after 1d6+1 hours.  
  
   352 
  The Mage must use Magic Jet (Dueling Jet) skill (or default) to attack with this spell.  
  This spell is commonly used for training and non-lethal duels and gladiatorial contests, however it is also 
  popular with kidnappers, bounty hunters, and town constables since it allows the mage to subdue a target 
  without killing it. At the GM's option it can be learned by mages of all colleges, not just mages who know 
  Metaspells.)  
  Duration: 1 second.  
  Base Cost: 1 to 3, same to maintain. Each point of energy produces 1d-1 points of damage.  
  Prerequisite : Any 10 spells.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. 
  Dueling Missile 
  Missile 
  Similar to the Fire Ball spell, except that its damage numbs and stuns the target rather than inflicting 
  permanent injury.  
  The missile has SS 12, Acc 2, 1/2D 20, Max 40 and is targeted using the Thrown Spell (Dueling Missile).  
  In other respects this spell is like the Dueling Jet spell.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 1 to 3, each point of energy produces 1d of damage.  
  Time to Cast: 1 second per energy point used.  
  Prerequisite : Any 10 spells.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.

  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Shroud Magic 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.

  container which can be closed in some way.  
  The mage enchants the container, opens it up, and casts the second spell on (or “into”) the container. He 
  then seals the container so that it will hold the spell. When the box is open the spell is triggered.  
  Spells requiring contact with the spell recipient will only work properly if someone is holding the container 
  when the spell is activated. Area spells will be centered on the vessel.  
  Only one Enchanted Box spell may be cast on a single container at any one time.

  through expending of caster's mana, even if caster is not there to repower it or isn't concentrating on the 
  spell.

  Prerequisite: Link 
  Extended Range (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the range of a spell to be extended beyond its normal limits.  
  This spell normally can only be applied to Missile spells, but it can be combined with the Throw Spell spell to 
  give that spell extended range.  
  This spell cannot be "held". Once the Extended range spell is cast, the spell it is to be attached to must be 
  started without delay otherwise the Extended Range spell (and possibly the spell it is "carrying") is lost.  
  Hit Modifiers an energy costs for range are determined normally based on the rules for the other spell. The 
  Extend Range spell only allows spells to be cast at longer distances. It doesn’t allow them to be thrown with 
  any more accuracy or power.  
  Duration: 10 seconds or until the other spell is cast, whichever is less.

  Form Lock Blocking or 
  Regular, resisted by spell or Will 
  This spell will prevent Shapeshifting. It will do so even if the subject is Shapes hifting back to their original 
  form because a previous Shapeshifting spell is no longer being maintained! The spell is resisted by the 
  mage’s skill with the Shapeshifting spell he is using (or was just using) or by Will, whichever is better. If the 
  subject is willing to be Form Locked, the Form Lock spell is at +2 in this contest.  
  If the subject is not willing to be Form Locked, but is Form Locked all the same, then the original Shapeshift 
  spell will resist the Form Lock spell again each hour at a cumulative -1 to the Shapeshift.  
  Base Cost: As for the original Shapeshifting spell.  
  Duration: 1 Hour.  
  Prerequisites: Dispel Magic, Shapeshifting.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost:250 points.  
  Fortune 
  Regular  
  Fortune allows the mage to determine the correct rituals that will allow the subject to maximize his luck. If 
  the subject performs the prescribed actions, his luck will be improved. If he does not follow the proper 
  actions, his luck remains unchanged. The G.M. must invent a reasonably simple task that will enhance the 
  victim’s luck which must be carried out in a reasonable amount of time (GM.s determination of what is 
  reasonable). This task will usually be reasonably easy (e.g. visit a temple, give a coin to a beggar, or draw a 
  prick of blood from each of your wrists) but can be harder if the GM chooses. The G.M. may roll on the 
  Reaction table to determine the difficulty of the act with bad reactions requiring more difficult acts to “trigger” 
  the Fortune. A character who has a Fortune spell cast on him who has correctly performed the prescribed 
  ritual may carry it until he needs a bit of extra luck (player's choice as to when). The player can then use the 
  spell by “taking back” a die roll that has already been made. He then rolls dice twice and chooses the best of 
  the three rolls. A mage can only cast Fortune once per day, but untriggered Fortune spells don’t act as an 
  “on” spell. If the subject does not perform the necessary ritual in a reasonable amount of time, he must wait 
  
   354 
  at least a week before he may again benefit from the Fortune spell. A person cannot have more than one 
  Fortune spell cast on him at any one time, nor can the effects of the Fortune spell be combined with the 
  Bless spell (the subject can have both spells cast on them, but he can’t combine the benefits of the two 
  spells). The mage can cast fortune on himself.  
  Base Cost: 5 points  
  Time to Cast: 1 hour.  
  Duration: Until used, simple rituals must be carried out within 8 hours for the spell to work. Difficult 
  rituals can have a longer time limit (GM’s option) 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Divination, Bless 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Gather Starwater (VH) 
  Regular 
  Draws Starwater (mana) to the caster, recharging his mana pool faster than normal.  
  This spell requires total concentration, so no spells can be maintained while the mage is gathering mana. 
  Each interval requires a successful Meditation roll and a successful Gather Starwater roll. A failure on either 
  of these rolls, or any other distraction, will end the spell.  
  The mage regains 1 to his pool for every 10 minute interval of successful rolls, divided by the regions 
  Threshold Multiplier (so every 5 minutes in a 2.0 area, every 30 minutes in a 0.33 region). The only 
  maximum to the amount that can be gathered in this manner is the mage's own Threshold.  
  Duration: Variable.  
  Base Cost: 10, so a minimum of 100 minutes is required to make this spell worthwhile.  
  Time to Cast: Variable.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, one spell from each of 10 different colleges.  
  Gold Sacrifice 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to turn gold (o r possibly other valuable items into magical energy which can be 
  used to power spells.  
  For every $50 in gold or other valuable metals the mage uses to power this spell, he gets 1 mana point. The 
  mage can store mana gained from this spell for the Duration of the spell, but it dissipates at the rate of 1 
  point per minute.  
  Duration: 1 minute per point of energy.  
  Base Cost: 2 (or $100), plus $50 per energy point gained. Can’t be maintained.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Regain Strength 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500,. Mage only.  
  Great Curse  
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  Allows a curse to be permanently bestowed on the subject. The type of curse is entirely up to the caster and 
  is limited only by the caster's imagination and the energy he can dedicate to the spell. Possible curses can 
  jinx the subject (as the disadvantage), affect his health, possessions, associates and loved ones, luck, or 
  reputation. This spell is resisted by Will, with minus one to the roll for every 30 points of energy the caster 
  put into the spell. If the subject of the curse is not physically present, Long Distance modifiers apply to the 
  spell. If the spell backfires, the caster is gets hit with his own curse, unless, in the GM's opinion, the caster 
  had just motives for his attempt to curse the victim.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 10+ (As a general rule of thumb every 10 points of energy used to cast the spell allows 
  a curse that is the equivalent of -1 character point in disadvantages or which cancels one character 
  point in advantages.)  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Curse 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 2,000 points. 
  Greater Spell Shield

  Prerequisite : Spell Shield 
  Magic Item: Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 500 points. 
  Greater Sphere of Invulnerability 
  Area 
  Functions as per the Utter Dome spell but will move with the caster. Any attempt to force the sphere into (or

  Prerequisites: Utter Dome 
  Magic Item: Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 1,500 points. 
  Homing Missile 
  Missile 
  Allows any missile spell cast by the mage to "home in on its target, even following the target around corners 
  or through crowds.  
  Missiles which are aimed at targets the caster cannot see have strike on a 12 or the caster's Thrown Missile 
  skill less range and target size modifiers, whichever is less. If the caster can see the target, this spell gives 
  +4 to the caster's chance to hit with the spell, and the spell automatically avoids anyone standing between 
  the mage and his target.  
  Duration: 10 seconds or the Duration of one missile spell, whichever is less.  
  Base Cost: 2 points 
  Prerequisite : Cornering Missile 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points. 
  Improved (Missile) 
  Missile 
  For every damaging Missile spell (Fireball, etc.), there is a corresponding Improved version. These spells 
  are identical to usual Missile spell of the same type, except that they take but a single second to cast - which 
  can be reduced for high skill - and all of the energy is spent at the moment of casting. The Missile does not 
  build up slowly over time, but may be "held" as usual. Improved Missiles are identical to regular ones in 
  every other respect (fatigue cost, damage, Spell Throwing skill required, etc.).  
  Base Cost: 1-3; damage depends on the energy used in the spell. All of the energy is spent at 
  once.  
  Time to Cast: 1 second.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2 and the regular Missile spell of the same type.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: Triple cost to enchant the non-autofire version of 
  the Magic Item.

  Interrupt 
  Regular 
  
   356 
  This spell allows a mage to "turn off" a spell with a Duration without canceling it, and then "turn it on" at a 
  later time. If the Duration of the Interrupt spell expires, then the spell is automatically turned "back on" unless 
  the caster choose to cancel it.  
  Duration: 1 minute, or until the other spell expires.  
  Base Cost: 4 points, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Link 
  Jackpot (VH) 
  Regular; resisted by Will.  
  This is a specialized version of the Bless spell. When cast on the subject, his next source of cash income 
  (which could be anything from a coin found in the street to a quarterly yield on a stock portfolio) will be 
  increased by 10%, or losses will be reduced by 10%.  
  If used to influence the outcome of a "zero sum" game, like a contract negotiation or the outcome of a 
  wager, this spell gives +2 to the relevant skill for one roll, but doesn't guarantee an outright win.  
  Duration: Permanent (one die roll or the next time the character makes money)  
  Base Cost: 10 points 
  Time to Cast: 1 hour

  points. 
  Jonah 
  Special; resisted by Will 
  This spell is similar to the Jinx spell, but the subject's luck is not improved. He just acts as a mobile "curse 
  zone" which affects other people. Anyone within 10 hexes of the Jonah must subtract from all die rolls they 
  make.

  Mage Ward 
  Area, resisted by Will-4 
  This spell creates an area where no magical creature or spell-caster - except those designated by the mage 
  can enter. Other creatures can move normally, it is only those people who have some sort of spell-casting 
  ability (including knacks and temporary spell-casting ability) who are blocked.  
  Affected creatures can push through the barrier if they can make a roll vs. Will-4. Each level of Magery 
  counts as a level of Weak Will when determining resistance to this spell.  
  Inherently magical creatures (creatures with magical knacks and advantages which the GM rules are based 
  on innate magical power) have an additional -5 to their resistance rolls.  
  Duration: 1 hour

  Magebolt 
  Missile 
  The caster can hurl up to 3 glowing bolts of pure mana, each of which can do up to 3d of damage.  
  The mage may distribute the damage (and the missiles) as he sees fit. For example, a mage who invests 4 
  points of energy into this spell could create 2 missiles which do 2d each or one with 3d and one with 1d 
  damage. Or he could create three missiles which have 2d, 1d and 1d respectively.  
  Likewise, the bolts may be targeted as the mage wishes as long as all the targets are in his line of sight 
  when he casts the spell. However, each bolt rolls to hit individually.  
  The bolts have SS 13, Acc 3, 1/2D 30, Max 80.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 1 to 9 points. Each bolt may do a maximum of 3d damage.  
  Time to Cast: 1 second for every 3 points of mana used.  
  Prerequisite s: Drain Mana 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. 
  Magic Boomerang 
  Regular 
  This spell makes a missile spell travel in an elliptical or circular path which begins and ends at the caster's 
  location. This allows a spell to be hurled in such a way that it strikes a foe's back, goes around corners, or 
  returns to the caster.  
  If the caster also has the Spell Catcher spell in effect when he casts Magic Boomerang, he can 
  automatically catch his own spell and either dissipate it harmlessly or throw it again (at no energy cost). 
  Missiles which miss twice dissipate automatically.  
  Duration: 1 minute or until other spell ends.  
  Base Cost: 3 points, can't be maintained.  
  Prerequisi te: Homing Missile 
  Magic Item: This spell can be added to any Magic Item for 250 points.  
  Magic Channel  
  Regular 
  This spell is similar to the Arcane Connection spell. When the mage touches the target, he creates a magical 
  link through time and space which he can use to cast spells on that target in the future.  
  While the spell is in effect, the mage ignores Long Distance penalties when casting spells on the subject and 
  normal range penalties (like missile spells use) are halved. Spells which require the mage to touch the 
  subject won’t work through the magical channel.  
  Base Cost: 5, same to maintain 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Arcane Connection or 3 other Metaspells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  
   358 
  Magic Immunity 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell makes the subject immune to the direct effects of all magical spells and prevents them from using 
  any magic spells themsel ves. Like the Magic Resistance spell, this spell blocks friendly spells as well as 
  hostile ones.  
  While this spell will block direct attacks, it doesn’t prevent against indirect attacks. For example, while a 
  fireball attack against the subject would fizzle, attacks with a magically animated (normal) torch would have 
  a normal chance of succeeding.  
  This spell also will not allow the subject to pass through magically created barriers like Force Domes or 
  Walls of Stone. The subject also can’t negate the effects of area spells which don’t directly affect the subject. 
  For example, this spell would keep the subject from being harmed by the Create Fire spell or slowed by the 
  Glue spell, but it would not keep him from being blinded by the Darkness spell since that spell works on the 
  light entering the spell area rather than the character’s perceptions.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Magic Resistance 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 750 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Energy Cost: 500 points. Some versions can’t be removed.  
  Magic Missile 
  Missile 
  This spell produces lances of magical force which unerringly strike their target bypassing most defenses.  
  Magic missiles strike as if the mage had an effective Spell Throwing skill of 30. The missiles may be blocked 
  or dodged, but not parried. If they hit, they bypass any non-magical DR the target may have. However, they 
  may not be aimed to strike a specific hit location - the damage they do is to the entire creature, not just the 
  point where they strike.  
  The missiles may be aimed at multiple targets as long as the mage can see all the targets when he casts the 
  spell. However, each missile must roll to hit individually.  
  Each missile has SS: 13, Acc 10, Max: 50. They have no 1/2D range, they either do full damage or they 
  miss.  
  Duration: Instantaneous.  
  Base Cost: 1 per bolt. Each bolt does 1 point of damage.  
  Time to Cast: 1 second per 3 points of energy.  
  Prerequisite : 2 Metaspells.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 400 points. 
  Magic Susceptibility 
  Resisted by HT+ Magery 
  This spell temporarily gives the target the Magic Susceptability disadvantage. Each level of this spell 
  reduces the subject's Resistance to magic, down to a minimum of 3. 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 points per level of reduction for susceptablilty to a single college of spells or to the 
  spells of a single mage, 5 points per level for susceptibility to all types of magic. The Base Cost of 
  this spell can't be reduced below 1 point per level of Magic Susceptibility, regardless of skill level.  
  Time to Cast: 6 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Magic Resistance, Password 
  Magic Item: a) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Always on. When worn this item affects 
  the wearer as if this spell had been cast on him. Energy Cost: 200 points per level. b) Staff, Wand or 
  Jewelry. Allows user to cast this spell. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Magic Traces 
  Area, Information, resisted by Spell 
  This spell allows the mage to determine whether or not magic was used in a given area in the recent past.  
  The mage is at -1 for every day that has passed since a magic spell was cast, and is at +1 for every spell 
  beyond the first that was cast in the area. The mage is at -5 to skill if he is attempting to determine whether a 
  
   359 
  specific spell was cast in the area and is at -2 to skill if he tries to determine if a spell of a specific college 
  was cast in the area.  
  A successful skill roll allows the mage to determine past spell use and roughly when the spells cast in the 
  area were cast. On a critical success the mage will know exactly what spells were cast and when they were 
  cast.  
  If spells are cast that interfere with magic scrying or information gathering, this spell must overcome the 
  other spell in a Contest of Spell skill between the two mages.  
  This is also a Knowledge spell.  
  Base Cost: 2 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Detect Magic, 3 other information spells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Magic Weapon 
  Regular 
  This spell allows a weapon to be enchanted with any other regular spell which is activated by touch or by 
  aiming it at the target.  
  The mage pays the cost of casting both the Magic Weapon spell and the spell placed on the item. If the 
  other spell fails, the Magic Weapon spell fails as well. The mage must cast the second enchantment within 1 
  minute of the Magic Weapon spell.  
  The other spell is “held” in the weapon until the weapon user wills it to be cast, however, the weapon must 
  touch the target for the spell to be effective. Multiple spells can be cast on a weapon, but each spell requires 
  an additional use of the Magic Weapon spell. The Magic Weapon spell itself doesn’t count as an “on” spell, 
  but any spells placed on the weapon do count.  
  In other respects, this spell is like the Staff spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute and until the other spell is triggered.  
  Base Cost: 3, can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds.  
  Prerequisite : Staff 
  Mana Charge 
  Regular 
  A mage can use this spell to absorb mana directly from a powerstone or other source of magical energy, 
  "supercharging" his body with mana which he can use to power spells. All mana absorbed by this spell is 
  lost when the spell expires. Mana gained by use of this spell is used before the mage's "natural" fatigue.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 1 point per 3 points of energy absorbed above the mage's normal Fatigue level, up to 9 
  points maximum, half to maintain..  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Powerstone 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 1,000 points. Mage only.  
  Mana Leak (VH) 
  Resisted by IQ plus Magery 
  This powerful spell “magically encumbers” the subject, making it more difficult for them to regain Fatigue lost 
  due to spell-casting and increasing the amount of mana it takes to power their spells.  
  When this spell is cast, the subject must make a roll vs. IQ plus any levels of Magery they have. If the 
  resistance roll is failed, his is unable to regain fatigue lost due to spell-casting by magical means (including 
  the Regain Strength spell). Spells which specifically reduce or eliminate fatigue must win a contest of spell 
  skills in order to affect the target. However, if they do successfully resist the Mana Leak spell, the Mana 
  Leak spell is automatically dispeled. Normal, non -magical, methods of regaining Fatigue are not affected.  
  The second effect of this spell is that the subject loses reduction in Fatigue cost he might have for 
  skill. No matter what his skill level, he must always pay the full Base Cost of any spell he casts 
  while the Mana Leak spell is in effect.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 5, 4 to maintain

  Mass Bless (VH) 
  Area 
  This spell allows the mage to Bless (as the spell) everyone within a given area or a given area. Depending 
  on the nature of the blessing, either anyone in the Blessed area gets a bonus to their die rolls, or anyone the 
  spell is cast on gets a bonus to their die rolls. In other respects this spell is exactly like the Bless spell.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 10 per hex for +1, 50 per hex for +2, 500 per hex for +3.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Bless 
  Mass Curse (VH) 
  Area; resisted by Will 
  This spell Curses (as the spell) either an area or a group of people in an given area. If cast on a group of 
  people, each person in the group resists the spell individually. Alternately, instead of a simple reduction of 
  die rolls, a Mass Curse can inflict a more subtle or cruel curse, similar to the effects of the Great Curse spell.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 10 per hex for -1, 50 per hex for - 2, 500 per hex for -3. Or, 1 point per hex per point of 
  disadvantages inflicted. (GM's ruling is final.)  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Curse 
  Mass Spell 
  Area 
  This spell turns any regular spell into an Area spell. In order for this to work, the mage must first cast the 
  Mass Spel. The next regular spell he casts is then modified into an area spell.  
  The energy cost of the other spell is double its normal cost, but it has an area effect.  
  Not all spells can be modified with this spell. Missile, Enchantment and information spells can’t be turned 
  intoarea spells. Nor can spells whose energy cost can’t be known until they are cast. Spells which have a 
  casting time longer than the Duration of the Mass Spell spell also can’t be cast.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Time to cast: 5 seconds 
  Base Cost: 8, can’t be maintained.

  Movable Spell 
  Area 
  This spell allows another area spell cast by the same mage to be slowly moved, even if it couldn't normally 
  be moved. If moving the spell would violate its effects or just doesn't make sense (like moving a Fog hex into 
  a No Mana zone), both spells are automatically dispelled.  
  Spells can be moved one hex per turn. (Move 1).  
  Duration: As the Duration of the other spell.  
  Base Cost: 1 per hex.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Link 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 00 points. 
  Outrageous Fortune  
  Regular 
  Outrageous Fortune works like the Fortune spell except that the ritual required to complete the spell is more 
  difficult and the resulting benefits are greater. Required tasks tend to be more arduous, messy or tedious 
  than dangerous (e.g. “Stay inside all day tomorrow,” “Kill a dog”, or “On your journey, worship at every 
  shrine that you pass”. Truly difficult conditions are still rare, but are more common than with the Fortune 
  spell. If the subject performs the required task he get four “Luck Points”. A Luck Point may be spent at any 
  time to “buy” a new die roll or a +1 bonus to a die roll per Luck Point spent (up to +4 to a single die roll, or +1 
  for four die rolls or any other combination that adds up to +4). If the latter option is used, the player must 
  declare his intent before the dice are rolled and the GM must keep a careful count of how many Luck Points 
  the character has left.  
  Base Cost: 10 points  
  Time to Cast: 2 hours  
  Duration: Until used, most rituals must be carried out within 24 hours for the spell to work. Difficult 
  rituals can have a longer time limit (GM’s option).  
  Prerequisites: Fortune 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Energy Cost: 1,500 points.  
  Outrageous Luck (VH)  
  Enchantment 
  This spell gives the subject a powerful variant of the Luck advantage. Every 5 energy points put into the 
  spell can be used to increase or decrease the subject's die roll by +1 or -1 after the dice have been rolled. 
  These "bonus points" can be used on at a time or can be spent all at once to improve a single die roll by 
  more than one point.  
  Duration: 24 hours or until bonuses have been used.  
  Base Cost: 5 points per point of bonus, can't be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, 5 Metaspells 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 10,000 points. Such items are very rare and are 
  highly prized.  
  Pass Spell 
  Area 
  Allows the Password enchantment to be applied to normal spells, allowing persons or objects designated by 
  the caster to be immune to the effects of that spell.  
  Duration: As the Duration of the other spell 
  Base Cost: 1 per hex (or if cast on a spell without an area effect, 2 points), same to maintain. An 
  area can be permanently enchanted with this spell for 10 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  
   362 
  Prerequisite : Link 
  Magic Item: This spell can be added to a Magic Item for 250 points.  
  Powerstone Self 
  Regular 
  For every 3 levels above 10 of Powerstone Self a mage has, he may store one point of mana energy within 
  himself exactly as if he were a powerstone. In order to cast this spell, the caster must roll successfully 
  against his Powerstone Self skill before he begins collecting power. On a critical success he can store 
  double the amount of power that he could normally store. On a critical failure, the mage loses 1d of Fatigue  
  that can only be recovered by “recharging” by absorbing magical energy from Powerstones.  
  The mage’s body is treated like a Powerstone in all other respects. His presence interferes with the 
  recharging of Powerstones (and vice-versa) and he can only gain mana as fast as a powerstone would. 
  When the mage expends Fatigue to cast a spell, he has the option of using his normal Fatigue or his 
  “Powerstone” Fatigue, just like normal.  
  This spell cannot be cast on others, nor can the mage cast it more than once a day.  
  Base Cost: 1 per point to be absorbed. High skill does not reduce this cost.  
  Time to Cast: 1 Minute.  
  Duration: Until recharged.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Alter Self, Powerstone.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Energy Cost: 2,500 points.  
  Prosperity 
  Regular 
  This spell brings material wealth and professional security to the subject.  
  For the Duration of the spell the recipient is treated as if he automatically made his job skill roll exactly, even 
  if he failed the roll. The spell automatically ends if the subject rolls a critical failure, but as a final benefit the 
  critical failure is turned into a normal failure.  
  This spell will only work for “routine” on- the- job use of skills in relatively low -violence situations. If the 
  character faces a significant risk of death every day - like a combat soldier or a gladiator - this spell won’t 
  work. However, professions where extreme violence isn’t routine (most criminal professions, professional 
  martial artists, police work) can benefit from this spell.  
  Duration: 1 month 
  Base Cost: 10, same to renew 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Bless 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 15,000,. Mage only. (b) Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Energy Cost: 5,000 
  Quick Link 
  Regular 
  This spell works identically to the Link spell, but it is quicker to cast and has a shorter Duration.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Link 
  Random Aura 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This spell will make the subject’s aura change randomly confusing the Aura spells unless the mage can win 
  a contest of his Aura skill vs. the mage’s Random Aura spell. Unwilling subjects resist with IQ.

  wearer only. Always on. Energy Cost: 150 points. Some versions can’t be removed.  
  
   363 
  Reverse Spell (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by Skill 
  Reverse spell allows the mage to turn one spell that is cat on him back on the caster.  
  In order to do this, the mage must win a contest of his Reverse Spell skill vs. the other mage’s spell skill. If 
  the Reversing mage wins the contest, the spell is reflected back on its caster, and he must roll normally to 
  resist its effects.  
  Missile spells seem to “bounce” when they are successfully reversed and they do normal damage if they hit. 
  However, if the range from the mage to the target and back to the mage exceeds the spells 1/2D or Max 
  range then the spell will be weakened or dissipate harmlessly before it affects its creator. Also, missile spells 
  which are reversed are treated as Blind Shots. They hit on a 9 or the adjusted “to hit” roll, whichever is less.  
  Information spells automatically fail. The subject doesn’t get to spy on the original caster if his scrying spell 
  fails!  
  Duration: 1 minute or until a spell is reversed.  
  Base Cost: 5, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Catch Spell 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 1,500 points. Mage only.  
  Safeguard 
  Regular 
  This spell allows a mage to protect himself from critical spell failures. If the mage critically fails a spell roll 
  while this spell is in effect the spell is immediately cancelled but the critical failure is turned into a normal 
  failure.  
  Critical failures on this spell keep the mage from casting spells for 1d6 days but have no other effect.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Bless 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for user only. Energy Cost: 1,000.  
  Second Chance (VH) 
  Regular 
  This rare and extremely powerful spell allows a mage to try again at a failed "one try only" spell, like 
  Resurrection.  
  Duration: Until the other spell is cast.  
  Base Cost: 20 points 
  Time to Cast: 1 hour 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Bless, 10 other Metaspells.  
  Seek Ley Line  
  Information 
  This spell is similar to Seek Powerstone, except that it allows the caster to detect a ley line. The standard 
  long range penalties for seek spells apply. 
  Time to Cast: 3 sec 
  Base Cost: 4 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Seek Powerstone 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. 
  Seek Node  
  Information 
  This spell is similar to Seek Ley Line, except that it allows the caster to detect a node. The standard long 
  range penalties for seek spells apply.  
  Time to Cast: 3 sec 
  Base Cost: 5 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Seek Ley Line 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  
   364 
  Seek Powerstone  
  Information 
  This spell allows the caster to detect a powerstone. The standard long range penalties for seek spells apply. 
  Time to Cast: 3 sec 
  Base Cost: 3 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Detect Magic 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. 
  Shroud Magic 
  Area 
  This spell hides the presence of magic spells and eliminates their traces. Spells protected by this spell will 
  not register when the Detect Magic or Magic Traces spell is cast unless those spells overcome the Shroud 
  Magic spell in a contest of skill.  
  Magic users in the area have their spells shrouded so that magically aware viewers cannot detect what sort 
  of magic (i.e. the college and the specific spell) they are casting until the spell is triggered.  
  Base Cost: 2, same to maintain 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Prerequisites: Detect Magic, Magic Traces 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Silent Spell 
  Regular 
  While this spell is in effect, the mage doesn’t need to speak words in order to cast spells (except for those 
  that require him to speak once the spell is cast) regardless of his skill level with the other spell.  
  This spell has no spoken components and can be cast with just a gesture.  
  This is also a Sound spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite: Magery, Hush, 2 Metaspells, 2 Other Sound spells.  
  Magic Item: Jewelry or Clothing. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Simulcast (VH)  
  Regular 
  Simulcast allows the mage to twist time in such a way that he may simultaneously cast two spells at once. In 
  fact, the mage simultaneously casts three spells at once - Simulcast, and the two other spells. Any fatigue 
  reduction that the mage would be entitled to for high skill with the target spells is halved, round down.  
  While this spell allows the mage to cast two spells at once, it doesn’t necessarily allow them to coexist. For 
  example, if you create two Fireballs at once, you will need to throw them with different hands and if you 
  produce two simultaneous Steam Breaths, you can only shoot one of them unless you have more than one 
  mouth. The other Steam Breath spell would have to be cancelled or else it would do damage to your mouth 
  while you “held” it!  
  Base Cost: 3 points.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Create Gate, 6 Meta-Magic spells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,500 points.  
  Spell Absorption (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to catch hostile spells that are thrown at him and use their energy to power his 
  own spells.  
  Treat this as a contest of the mage's Spell Absorption skill vs. the skill of the opposing mage. If the mage 
  wins the contest and makes his skill roll, he gains half the Base Cost of the energy put into the opposing 
  spell which he can use to power his own magical spells.  
  This magical energy is lost at the rate of 1 point per minute and cannot be used to power ceremonial spells. 
  Stored energy is used before the mage's own fatigue.  
  
   365 
  This spell has some serious drawbacks. If the mage wins the contest of skills, but fails his spell roll, he 
  doesn't store the energy and must roll vs. Will or be affected by the spell (unless it would have failed 
  anyway). If he loses the contest of skills and the opposing mage successfully casts the spell, the losing 
  mage is at -4 to all resistance rolls or takes 1 point per die of extra damage from attack spells.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 5, 3 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Catch Spell 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Always on. Energy Cost: 2,500 points.  
  Spell Channel  
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  Allows the caster to cast spells through another person or an object.  
  If the caster is more than 1 hex from the subject, he is at a penalty to skill equal to the square of the 
  distance. (e.g. If the caster is standing 4 hexes from his Spell Channel, his is at -2 to cast spells through the 
  channel. If he is 9 hexes away, he is at -3, and so on.)  
  If the caster doesn't have a line of sight to his channel he is at -4 to cast spells. If the caster doesn't have a 
  line of sight to the target of his spell from the channel, he suffers an additional -4 penalty, this penalty is 
  doubled to hit with Missile spells.  
  Magical methods of viewing the scene negate these penalties.  
  If the channel is a living creature and it is unwilling, it can roll vs. Will to resist.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5 points, 3 to maintain. A non- living object can have this spell cast on it for 100 points 
  per hex (or fraction thereof).  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Link, 4 other Metaspells.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 2,500 points.  
  Spell Sharing 
  Regular 
  This spell is exactly like the Spell Storage spell except that the mage can cast it on another sentient being 
  who couldn’t normally cast spells.  
  In order for the spell to be successful, the subject must willing and he must be present when the mage casts 
  both the Spell Storage spell and the spell to be held. The mage must also touch the target.  
  The subject casts the spell at the level of skill of the original caster, but missile or Jet spells use the Missile 
  Throwing or Magic Jet skill (usually DX-3) of the person casting the spell.  
  If the spell is critically failed, the subject casting the spell takes the consequences. In any case, the person 
  casting the spell pays the fatigue cost for the spell. Spells cast through a person who can't cast a spell can't 
  be maintained.  
  Duration: 2 hours, or until the spell cast under this spell expires.  
  Base Cost: 3 points, 2 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Link, Spell Storage 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points. 
  Spell Storing (VH) 
  Special 
  This spell allows a spell caster to cast a spell and store it internally.  
  The caster must first successfully cast this spell. The next spell he casts (within 1 minute) will be stored. If 
  the spell to be stored fails, the Spell Storage spell automatically ends. If the seconds spell works, it is “held” 
  until the mage needs it. Then it can be cast instantly just by making a gesture or speaking a word (the mage 
  decides the “trigger” when he casts the storage spell).  
  The mage can store more than one spell using this spell, but each casting of the storage spell and each held 
  spell counts as an “on” spell.  
  Not all spells can be stored. Spells that have long-range modifiers can’t be stored, nor can spells whose 
  energy cost can’t be known until they are cast.  
  
   366 
  Spells with a variable casting cost can be stored, but the mage must keep track of the amount of mana 
  dedicated to the spell. When the spell is cast, the amount of mana can’t be changed from the amount 
  dedicated to it in the first place.  
  Aura will detect the presence of stored spells though not what spell it is (except on a critical success).  
  A stored spell acts like at maintained spell in most cases. If a mage with a stored spell is damaged, the 
  mage must roll vs. HT minus damage. A failed roll means the spell is lost; a failure by more than 5 means 
  the spell goes off critically fails and goes off prematurely.  
  Also, the skill level at which the stored spell is cast is either the mage’s Spell Storage skill or his skill with the 
  stored spell, whichever is lower.  
  Once the storage spell expires, any spells "stored" are automatically cast unless the caster cancels them. If 
  the caster cancels them, he still has to pay the energy cost he would have had to pay to cast them.

  Stabilize Mana 
  Area 
  This spell makes an area resistant to fluctuations in mana levels. For every level of this spell, attempts to 
  use Drain Mana, Deadlands, and Increase Mana spell to affect the area are at -1 to skill, and the mage 
  casting the spell must win a contest of skills against the Stabilize Mana spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute

  Regular

  Supercharge 
  Special 
  This spell makes other magical spells more powerful allowing them to temporarily ignore limits on the 
  amount of mana that can be placed in them.  
  For every 3 points of mana dedicated to this spell, an extra point of mana can be dedicated to a Missile spell 
  or a spell that does damage. Extra damage follows the standard progression. For example, if a spell turns 2 
  points of mana into 1d of damage, then it takes 2 points of extra mana to get an extra 1d of damage.  
  Alternately, the Supercharge spell can be used to make it more difficult for a subject to resist a spell. Every 3 
  points of extra mana added to a spell reduces the subject’s resistance roll by 1. If this option is chosen 
  damage cannot be increased, and vice-versa.  
  Not all spells can be modified with this spell. Enchantment and Information spells can’t supercharged, nor 
  can spells which have a casting time longer than the Duration of the Supercharge spell itself.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Base Cost: 3 per extra mana point of energy or -1 to resistance roll. Can’t be maintained.

  Area

  roll, he can try to roll his Tap Holy Relic skill vs. the caster's Break Holy Relic Tap skill to reestablish contact.

  Fall From Grace makes a member of a religion register as "impure" or "sinful" to all spells cast by priest of 
  the victim's religion, all supernatural creatures associated with the victim's deity, and all prayers or spells 
  which require the subject to be "pure" or in a state of grace to work. Only the subject's deity will know the 
  true state of the subject's soul. To all others, it will seem as if the victim is estranged from his religion. At the 
  GM's option, advantages such as True Faith, Blessed, or Clerical Power Investiture will be temporarily lost 
  or reduced. The subject might also suffer in other ways.

  Holy Weapon 
  Regular 
  This spell imbues a single weapon with the essence of the caster’s deity, allowing the weapon to do extra 
  damage against enemies of the deity or to creatures who are opposed to the deity’s ethos. When the spell is 
  cast, the weapon is visibly marked in some way - typically it will glow with a pure white or dull red light, but it 
  might smoke, emit sparks, hum loudly, or produce a rain of tiny frogs depending on the deity. On the next 
  strike with that weapon, it will do extra damage if it hits. If it misses, the spell is dissipated and there is no 
  effect.  
  At the GM’s option, the weapon will either do less damage or no damage at all to creatures who are not 
  completely in opposition to the deity. For example, a Holy Weapon consecrated to the god of life might only 
  do 1 extra point of damage to the followers of a death cult, though it would do full damage to undead. 
  Weapons consecrated to some gods (such as gods of mercy or healing) might not do actual damage at all! It 
  is up to the GM to decide the particulars.  
  Duration: 1 turn 
  Base Cost: 1-3, the weapon damage is increased by 1d -1 for each point of energy.  
  Time to Cast: 1 second per energy point used to cast the spell.  
  Prerequisites: Clerical Power Investment, Puissance, Sharpen.  
  Inspiration 
  Area 
  Similar to the Sermon spell, but the caster motivates and inspires the subjects. Morale is improved by +1 per 
  2 energy points spent on the spell. (Note that this morale doesn't give a bonus against Fright Checks, but 
  does allow increased bravery against "ordinary threats").  
  Duration: 30 minutes 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain (minimum radius is 2 hexes)  
  Time to Cast: 5 minutes 
  Prerequisite : Benediction 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand, Jewelry, Clothing or Holy Relic. 2,000 to create plus 1,000 per +1 bonus 
  and 500 per hex of radius. Usable only by a cleric with Power Investment advantage.  
  Intercession 
  Regular 
  This spell represents an attempt to gain the attention of a servant of the cleric's deity which might be linked 
  to some particular area of expertise and who might be persuaded to intercede with the deity on behalf of 
  supplicant.  
  Basically, this is a limited form of the Miracle Spell, with a +4 bonus to the miracle roll if the correct servant is 
  invoked for a given task.  
  Duration: Variable 
  Base Cost: 4, +1 for every 3 extra points invested.  
  Prerequisite : Bless, 5 other clerical spells 
  Magic Item: Idol, holy symbol, or portable shrine. 3,000 to create. Usable only by a cleric with 
  Power Investment advantage.  
  Miracle (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell increases the cleric's chance of causing a "miracle" through divine intervention. The base chance 
  of a miracle occurring is a 3 (3d6), for each point by which the cleric makes his roll on the miracle spell, 
  subtract 1 die roll needed for a miracle. A miracle which goes against philosophy of the cleric's religion is at -
  1 to -5 depending on the degree of opposition.  
  A miracle which violates natural laws (a resurrection or turning water into wine) is at -1 to -5 depending on 
  the number of laws to be violated. A simple miracle, which could be dumb luck (successfully hiding from 
  pursuers, finding a coin) might be at a +1 to +3 bonus. A miracle, which in the G.M.s opinion, goes against 
  the god's interests or desires, will not be granted at all and might bring down some sort of punishment on the 
  offending cleric.  
  The exact nature of the miracle depends on the nature and desires of the god and the nature of the 
  campaign. In a secret magic campaign or a low mana world, a successful miracle could easily be attributed 
  
   372 
  to luck. In a high mana world or full magic campaign, a miracle could be really flashy. In general though, the 
  cleric will get whatever magical effect he wants, though his less pious comrades or followers might not be so 
  lucky.  
  The power of the miracle is spell is that it allows the cleric to get whatever magical effect he wants, limited 
  by the G.M.'s ability to prevent any spell from unbalancing a campaign.  
  Duration: Variable 
  Base Cost: 5, +1 to the roll for every 5 extra points invested 
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes 
  Prerequisite : Bless, 10 other clerical spells 
  Petition

  • 
  Excommunication: Bans a person from taking communion and from any other contact with the church

  the spell. The caster is at +2 to affect members of his own religion.

  Wrath of God (VH) 
  Area 
  A general purpose attack spell which utterly obliterates an area or person is a suitably dramatic way. This 
  spell does 3d6 points of damage per turn in the form which will be most hurtful to the subject or area. (For

  earthquake or a huge lightening bolt.)

  Mind Control Spells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Berserker - For double cost the subject can be made to berserk only against foes.  
  Drunkenness - If the detailed Intoxication rules for Callahan's Crosstime Saloon are being used, the mage 
  can specify any level of intoxication between 2 and 10. 
  Sickness - The mage can afflict the subject with a mild sickness (-1 to IQ, DX, and ST) for 1 point.  
  Madness and Permanent Madness - Alternately the G.M. can choose whatever type of madness seems 
  appropriate. For 1 point extra the mage can choose the type of madness!  
  Nightmare - For double cost the nightmare can force the subject to make a Fright Check.  
  Avoid - The mage can specify certain people or types of people who are immune to the spell's effects when 
  he casts it.  
  Loyalty - This spell gives the subject +6 to Reaction and Loyalty rolls towards the mage.  
  Enslave - The mage can use any of the subject's senses and can access the subject's memories at will. For 
  half cost, the mage can just "permanently charm" someone. This allows the mage to command the subject 
  but he can't access the subject's memories or senses unless he casts a spell to do so.  
  Emotion Control - The appropriate emotion will give the subject +2 or -2 on all reactions to other people 
  and/or +1 or -1 on all reactions from other people. For example, a person who is made cheerful and friendly 
  will react at +2 and people will react to him at +1. If he were made hostile and angry he would react at -2 and 
  people would react at -1 to him.  
  Suggestion and Mass Suggestion - Suggestions must be simple ideas which don't require a great deal of 
  thought. For example, a person could be commanded to "Kill the king." He couldn't be commanded to "Kill 
  the king if he doesn't give in to your demands." Even if a Suggestion is successfully implanted, the subject 
  will go about implementing it in his own way. For example, if a crowd was told to "Loot the town." each 
  individual might choose a different place to loot and might decide to loot different things.  
  Lesser Geas and Greater Geas - The commands can be as complex as the mage wishes them to be, part 
  of any geas is that the subject always remembers what he is supposed to do. However, Lesser Geases can't 
  be phrased in such a way that a normally doable task becomes effectively impossible.  
  Keen (Sense) - None of these spells allows the subject to detect stimuli outside of his normal sensory 
  range, they just make his existing senses more acute. They also cannot be cast on a person who doesn't 
  have a given sense. For example, Keen Sight would be useless if cast on a blind person.  
  Rear Vision - This spell effectively gives the subject the 360 Degree Vision advantage.  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Fascinate - The mage can also cast this spell on his hands or on a small, shiny object like a gem or pocket 
  watch which the mage can move in a hypnotic pattern. In this case the subject is fascinated as long as the 
  mage moves his hands or the object. This spell may also be cast on an object. Victims remain fascinated by 
  the object until it is removed from their view or the spell ends. 
  Ecstasy - Any painful or scary sensation that occurs while the spell is in effect gives the subject another roll 
  vs. Will +2 to break the spell. At the GM's option, this spell can be used to aid skills which attempt to invoke 
  physical pleasure, such as Massage, Sex Appeal or Erotic Art.  
  Enthrall - See also Belaborment.  
  Dullness - This spell also gives -1 to rolls to be Surprised for every 2 levels by which senses are reduced.  
  Glib Tongue - If the mage use this spell in conjunction with any Communication and Empathy spell which 
  involves communication. For example, a mage with Telepathy could use the Glib Tongue spell telepathically. 
  For double cost (or if the mage also has a Mind Reading spell on the target) the mage will know what the 
  subject thinks he is hearing and will know what the subject is actually saying.  
  Hallucination - Hallucinations which just consist of Tactile or Auditory perceptions can be created for cost 
  half normal cost.  
  Will Lock - For double cost the mage doesn't need to circle the area in order to cast the spell. In this case, 
  the Time to Cast is 3 seconds. For double costs the subjects don't need to know that they have been circled, 
  allowing this spell to be cast in the dark, etc. Magic Item: (a) Wand, staff or jewelry. Allows the user to cast 
  the spell. 500 points to create. (b) 
  
   376 
  This spell can be made permanent for 100 times the Base Cost. A circle made of some permanent material 
  must be laid down before the spell is cast.

  cast, Fatigue to resist.

  Backwards 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell makes the target do everything backward! He talks backward, he walks backward. For the 
  Duration of the spell, he is unable to cast spells (since he casts them backwards) or make physical attacks 
  (since he attacks backwards). A character with a simple-to-use ranged weapon, like a gun that just requires 
  a trigger pull to fire, can be fired “backwards” at –4 to skill. Any weapon that requires a complex reloading 
  sequence is likely to be jammed if used under the influence of this spell! Note that only individual actions 
  must be performed backwards, time doesn’t really flow backwards for the character. If a character thinks to 
  
   378 
  do so, he can “do things backwards” in an attempt to overcome the effects of this spell. For simple physical 
  actions, like attacking with a weapon, this gives –4 to skill. For complex, quick actions, like speaking or spell-
  casting, he is at –10. Other actions fall someplace in between. A “backwards” character can “walk 
  backwards” (i.e. move forewards) at half his normal Move. No skill roll is needed to do this, though it does 
  feel peculiar.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 6 
  Prerequisite: Madness Author: Adapted from S. John Ross (adapted from Arduin Grimoire). 
  Originally appeared as Morwens Backward Blast 
  Belabourment 
  Area, resisted by Will 
  This spell works like a combination of Enthrall and Confusion. The mage begins to tell a long and pointless, 
  but completely fascinating tale.  
  Those who fail their resistance rolls will sit or stand enraptured by the mage’s voice until the mage stops 
  speaking. They will then be utterly confused by the mage’s words and must make an IQ roll every turn to do 
  anything but ponder the mage’s words.  
  No matter how well the mage knows this spell, he must still speak in order to cast it.  
  Duration: 1 minute, plus the time it takes the subject to make an IQ roll.  
  Base Cost: 4 per hex, 2 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: Same as Duration.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Suggestion 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Belittle 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  The mage speaks magic words so powerful and terrible that the subject’s self-esteem is temporarily 
  shattered. Anyone who fails the resistance roll is at -4 to attack (but not to defend) and is at -4 to contests of 
  skills. Unopposed skill use is not affected. They must also make a Will roll to attack the mage while this spell 
  is in effect.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Body Clock 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Alters subject's circadian rhythms, resetting the subjects "normal" sleeping or waking times and making him 
  feel sleepy, wakeful, or hungry as the mage desires.  
  A subject who is made wakeful gets +4 to Will to stay awake, even if he hasn't slept. A subject who is made 
  sleepy gets -1 to Will to stay awake, even if he has slept recently. This spell can also inflict the Insomnia 
  and/or Light Sleeper disadvantage on the subject for one night, even if he is not normally prone to those 
  disadvantages. The mage can also bestow the Deep Sleeper advantage on the subject for one night. High 
  Tech mages use this spell to inflict or cure jet lag.

  The subject changes his loyalty and affection from his current leader, employer, country or cause to the 
  person or cause specified by the mage.  
  Each day that this spell is in effect, the subject gets a roll vs. Will to recover his senses. This roll is at +1 or 
  more if the cause or person he has allied himself with goes against his character, inter ests, or ethics.  
  Note that this spell doesn’t change the subject’s personality, just his allegiances.

  Comfort 
  Regular 
  This handy spell makes the subject feel warm, dry, and uncramped, while the spell is in effect, even if he 
  isn't. While this spell is designed to allow mages to sit still in drafty studies for hours on end, it has uses for 
  adventurers as well. A subject under the influence of this spell gets +1 to HT and Will rolls to resist the 
  effects of warm or cold weather and +1 to Will rolls to resist the uncomfortable effects of cramped spaces.

  precepts or beliefs of the caster of the spell and must roll vs. Will to violate consciously violate those ethics.  
  
   380 
  This spell is commonly linked to some sort of spell which causes discomfort as a form of "house arrest" for 
  minor criminals who are forbidden from prohibiting any illegal act on pain of severe discomfort by mages in 
  the service of the law courts.  
  Duration: 12 hours 
  Base Cost: 5 points, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Anxiety 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Conscience 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  Conscience forces the subject to reflect on their moral and ethical beliefs whenever they take an action that 
  might conflict with those values.  
  The spell doesn’t make them do anything, it just makes them consider their values before they take an 
  action. At G.M.s discretion this spell might give the subject a one-time bonus to a Will or Reaction roll, up to 
  the amount by which the mage made his spell skill roll, not to exceed +4. Unfortunately, this spell can 
  backfire if the subject’s “real” ethics would prompt him to behave in a more bloodthirsty or antisocial fashion. 
  For example, if you use this spell to convince a slaver to free you, it might turn out that he is actually a 
  lapsed member of a Death cult and that his conscience prompts him to sacrifice you instead! Needless to 
  say, the G.M. should be creative when interpreting the results of this spell.  
  Note that while the effects of conscience can motivate a character to perform acts of mercy or charity, they 
  need not be remarkable in their degree. For example, if you cast this spell on a miser who knows deep down 
  that it is “wrong” to not share his possessions then he might very well be prompted to give a few coins to a 
  beggar, but he certainly wouldn’t be required to give away all his possessions, nor would his behavior be 
  permanently altered once the spell wears off. The only exception to this rule is if the mage rolls a Critical 
  Success or the subject rolls a Critical Failure on his Resistance Roll. In either case, the subject’s behavior is 
  either mildly altered towards following their ethics more closely or else they perform a single, remarkable act 
  based on their conscience, whichever the GM prefers. For example, the miser in the example above might 
  make huge, one-time donation to his favorite charity or else he might become slightly less miserly as a result 
  of the spell.  
  Targets of this spell rapidly become immune to its effects. Multiple castings of this spell automatically fail, 
  and the subject gets +1 to Resistance rolls against each casting after the first within 24 hours of the first 
  casting.  
  Base Cost: 1 point 
  Duration: 24 hours or until the subject must make a moral decision, or new circumstances prompt a 
  rethink of the old one.  
  Prerequisites: None.  
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Some versions can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Contrary 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Causes the subject to willfully oppose and pervert every suggestion made to him and oppose all goals and 
  plans of the group that he is in. The subject will do his best to hinder group and will make himself as 
  obnoxious and as childish as possible.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 5 points, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Suggestion 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for

  Cowardice 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  The subject suffers from the Cowardice advantage for the Duration of the spell.  
  
   381 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Fear 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry Energy Cost: 350 points, (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Criminal Compulsion 
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  Makes the subject want to a type of crime specified by the caster. While the caster can specify the type of 
  crime, they can't specify the exact crime they wish the subject to carry out, nor can they control the means 
  by which the subject carries out the crime. The crime would generally be a crime which the subject would 
  commit if he had no social inhibitions and the subject will plan and carry out his crime to avoid detection and 
  capture to the best of his ability.  
  While the subject will be aware of that what they are doing is "wrong" they will be powerless to stop 
  themselves from following through with the crime as long as the spell lasts.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 6, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Emotion Control 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Dark Geas 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell is similar to the Geas spell, except that if the subject does not fulfill the conditions of the Geas, he 
  suffers pains so severe that they do him permanent damage. For every day that the subject does not (in the 
  opinion of the GM) do something to fulfil the condition set upon him by the mage, if he is physically able to 
  do so, he is wracked by pains (-4 to DX and ST, -1 to IQ) and takes 1 point of damage.  
  The pains only reach full intensity after an hour, and the subject doesn’t take damage until at least 12 hours 
  have passed, so the subject gets a “warning” before he takes damage. Any action towards fulfilling his quest 
  immediately relieves the pains, but not the damage.  
  In other respects this spell is like the Geas spell.  
  Duration: Permanent (until task is fulfilled).  
  Base Cost: 10 points, can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Contract, Geas 
  Deja Vu 
  Regular; resisted by IQ 
  The subject "sees" the same scene repeated over and over again in their head for the Duration of the spell. 
  The scene can be something from the subject's memory (if the caster has gotten inside the subject's head 
  by use of another mind control spell) or just the things that the subject saw in the last 10 seconds before the 
  spell was cast.  
  While under the influence of the spell, the subject is effectively Blinded, while they "see" the vision. If the 
  caster revives a particularly shocking memory from the victim's memory, the victim might have to make a 
  Fright Check while they relive the experience.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Suggestion 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Delusion 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Causes the subject to believe something that is not true, as if he had the Delusion disadvantage. The 
  obviousness and dangerousness of delusion is based on the number of points of energy put into the spell.  
  
   382 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 1 for a quirk level delusion, 2 for a minor (-5 point) delusion, 3 for a major (-10 point 
  delusion), 5 for a severe (-15 point) delusion, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Suggestion 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 200 points.  
  Discord 
  Area, resisted by Will 
  Causes anger and strife between members of a group. Anyone within the area of effect who fails his 
  resistance roll suffers from the Bad Temper disadvantage and reacts at -4 to anyone else in the area of 
  effect. What happens next depends on the basic nature of the group and their circumstances. At the very 
  least the spell will cause bitter arguments, more warlike groups might actually start fighting with their fists or 
  even weapons.  
  This is also a Communication and Empathy spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2 points per hex (minimum of 2 hexes), same to maintain. An area can be permanently 
  affected with this spell for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Suggestion 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Disinterest 
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  Causes the subject to view something as being unimportant, uninteresting, or worthless. Temporarily 
  suspends disadvantages such as Fanaticism, Compulsive Behavior, or Obsessions, counters Passion 
  spells.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 3, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Forgetfulness 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Dissuade 
  Regular, Resisted by IQ 
  This spell dissuades the subject from attacking the caster. If the subject of this spell fails to resist by 1 to 4 
  points, he may not directly attack the caster, but he may sound a warning or take other indirect actions 
  against the caster. (For example, the victim could steal something from the caster, or shout out lies about 
  the caster, or run away, or stand quietly.) If the subject fails his resistance by 5 or more, he may not do 
  anything to harm the caster in any way including stealing or damaging his possessions or harming or 
  threatening his friends and family.  
  If the subject critically fails his resistance, he will attempt to aid the caster and to act in the caster's best 
  interest.  
  In any case, the victim is not restricted by the spell on any actions towards the caster's companions or allies 
  unless they are also friends or family.  
  Base Cost: 2 
  Duration:1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Suggestion 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Distraction 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  The subject briefly looks away from or ceases to pay attention to the caster, giving the caster +4 to perform 
  subtle, quick actions, like Pickpocketing, or some forms of Stage Magic.  
  
   383 
  Duration: 2 seconds 
  Base Cost: 2 points, can't be maintained 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Divert 
  Area 
  This spell will divert people away from a place unless they are specifically looking for it. For example, if a 
  mage were to cast this spell on a building, unless someone was specifically trying to find that building they 
  could never find it.  
  Because this spell doesn’t actively influence the subject, no Resistance roll is allowed.  
  Base Cost: 1/2 per hex (minimum of 2 hexes), half to maintain. This spell can be made permanent 
  for 50 times the Base Cost.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Avoidance 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Emotional Void 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell removes all of the subject’s emotions. For the Duration of the spell he is immune to Fright Checks 
  and does not need to take Will rolls to resist Mental Disadvantages which are based on emotions, such as

  Loyal Object 
  Regular 
  This spell prevents the subject from being separated from prized possessions for too long. The spell may be 
  cast on any portable object and begins working at any time the caster wills it to.  
  When the spell is triggered, the next person who passes by the object and happens to be heading in the 
  general direction of the caster will pick it up and carry it along with him. If he goes in a different direction, he 
  will put the object down. The next person heading towards the caster will then pick it up until he changes 
  direction or reaches his destination, leaving it for the next person, and so on. Eventually, the object will make 
  it back to the caster.  
  Passers-by will only move the object if it is convienient for them to do so. For example, they may cross a 
  room to pick it up, but not cross a river, go through doors, or get it from a concealed or locked location 
  (unless they happen to be unlocking or uncovering the objects location anyway). Likewise, a pen or book will 
  move quickly, since they are light and very portable, while a stone statue will likely stay where it is unless a 
  group of professional bodybuilders with a pickup truck happen to drop by.  
  The spell will not work on someone who recieves or steals the object directly from the caster, and carriers 
  get a Will roll minus the caster’s level of skill to resist carrying obviously dangerous objects or disobeying 
  orders against carrying such an object. Carriers will beunaware of what they are doing, and people who 
  aren’t carrying the object will ignore it entirely.  
  The speed with which the object returns to the caster is up to the GM. A gym bag full of magical equipment 
  can make its way from one side of a major city to another in as little as a few hours, while a sword lost in the 
  underbrush during a battle may take months or years to come to light, and just as long to make its way from 
  a small village to the big city where its owner lives.

  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Daze 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Mind Demons 
  Resisted by Will 
  Mind Demons takes some aspect of the subject’s personality and magnifies it out of all proportion. For 
  example, a coward might be frightened of everything, a Sadist might immediately seeks to hurt someone, or 
  a Compulsive Gambler would be forced to seek out a gambling game ignoring everything else as he does 
  so.  
  The caster may specify the trait to be affected, or the GM can determine the trait randomly. Any existing 
  mental disadvantage or quirk can be chosen, but it must be a trait that already exists to some degree in the 
  character. Traits cannot be reversed, nor can new traits be implanted. For example, a character who dislikes 
  dogs could be made to obsessively hunt them down and kill them or he could be afflicted with a Phobia 
  about dogs, but he couldn’t be made to love dogs. Likewise, he couldn’t be made to hate or fear cats.  
  If the caster specifies a trait which the subject does not have, the spell will have no effect. If the subject 
  cannot reasonably act on the trait, then the spell will have no effect either. For example, if the subject always 
  prays before meals, but it is not time for a meal, then this spell would have no effect if that trait were 
  magnified.  
  If the magnified trait conflicts with another trait the subject gets a Will roll to see which trait wins out. Subtract 
  the base point cost of the modified disadvantages from the point cost of any disadvantages and divide the 
  remainder by 5 rounding up. Then apply this number as a bonus to Will to resist this spell. For example, a 
  knight with the Code of Honor disadvantage (-15 points) and the Quirk “Likes Reciting Poetry” (-1 point). 
  Mind Demons is cast on him and the caster chooses to make the knight obsessively recite poetry to the 
  exclusion of everything else. However, the mage has just offended the knight’s liege lord, so the knight gets 
  a Will roll to see if his Code of Honor overrides this spell. -15 - (-1) = -14. -14/5 = -2.9 which rounds up to -3. 
  The knight gets a bonus of +3 to his Will roll to act on his Code of Honor rather than his love of poetry.  
  A new resistance roll is allowed each time the situation changes  is a significant way. For example, the knight 
  were reciting poetry and his horse began to wander off, he would get another Resistance Roll to shake off 
  the spell and capture the horse. Being attacked definitely counts as a change in situation!  
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 2 to maintain.

  Minor Hallucination  
  Regular; resisted by IQ 
  This spell can make minor alterations to existing objects in the subject's mind to make them seem more 
  threatening, different, or just weird.. For example, the caster could make the subject see a rain of "blood" 
  when they were just experiencing a normal rain. Objects can be made to "move" slightly while this spell is 
  going on. For example, walls can be made to wobble like Jell-O or "breathe" or trees could "bend over" to 
  "attack" the subject.  
  While objects can be made more frightening, their frightfulness is not sufficient to generate a Fright Check, 
  though the subject will be uncomfortable and might well be scared.

  roll vs. Will or undergo a new, intense uninhibited emotion. For example, pleasure at seeing a friend would

  the subject rage or cry, and so forth.  
  Any attempt to use mental skills (or physical skills which require calm and patience) are at -2. If the subject

  Psionic Barrier 
  Area, resisted by skill 
  When cast, this spell creates an area of "Psi Static" through which psionic powers cannot pass and within 
  which psionic abilities cannot work.  
  The barrier stops psionic observation using Clairvoyance, psionic movement using Teleportation, 
  Telekinesis, or Astral Projection, mental attacks using Mind Blast or Mind Stab, and so forth.  
  Existing effects which don't require concentration might still work within the barrier. For example, someone 
  under the effects of a psionic Suggestion power might not immediately shake off the effects if they were 
  placed inside a psionic barrier. Subjects who were unwillingly controlled get a roll vs. Will every 10 seconds 
  they are within the barrier to overcome the effects. Willing subjects are immune.  
  Victims who have taken actual fatigue or physical damage from psi attacks are not healed by a psi barrier. 
  For example, someone knocked out by the Mental Blow power does not recover if placed within a Psionic 
  Barrier.  
  If a person previously controlled by a psi moves out of a psionic barrier, the psi may attempt to reestablish 
  control. If the victim is still under the psi's mental control, no fatigue is expended to reestablish control, 
  otherwise, the attempt is treated as a new attempt to take control and must be rolled for normally.  
  Objects accelerated by TK power, which have developed their full speed outside of the Psionic Barrier, will 
  still move normally. However, TK can't be used to affect their motion while they are within the spell area. 
  Physical attacks motivated by psi powers used outside of the barrier, like fires started by PK which spread 
  into the barrier area, are completely unaffected by this spell.

  vs. IQ-2 to even considering anything that might be out of the ordinary or to think of doing things in a new 
  way.  
  This spell is useful to keep sentries from investigating unusual noises or to keep guards from varying their 
  patrols. However, it is also used by employers to force employees to follow company policy to the letter.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 4. 2 to maintain

  Prerequisite : Magery, Suggestion 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry Energy Cost: 500 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 200 points.  
  Sanity 
  Regular 
  The subject is protected from the permanent, direct effects of failing a Fright Check while this spell is in 
  effect. This means that the subject can still be stunned or even faint if they fail a Fright Check, but they don’t 
  suffer from any permanent mental or physical effects like loss of IQ or HT or phobias. Instead, those effects 
  last for 2d6 days before they wear off.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 4, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Bravery, Forgetfulness 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 750 points.  
  Schizophrenia 
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  The subject temporarily suffers from schizophrenia. The subject suffers from Paranoia, Severe Delusions, 
  and Auditory Hallucinations. In addition, their thinking and speech become muddled and illogical (Treat this 
  as a -4 to IQ to perform any skill which requires logic or reasoning.) and they become Impulsive.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Foolishness, Madness 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  
   402 
  Seizure 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  The subject is overcome by a mad frenzy as if he had the Epilepsy disadvantage. He immediately falls to the 
  ground and rolls about in an uncontrollable seizure, frothing at the mouth and possibly biting himself. The 
  subject feels no pain and is insensible to danger while he is having his seizure, but suffers loss of half his 
  Fatigue when he recovers.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, can’t be maintained 
  Prerequisite : Sickness, Dizzy 
  Magic Item: (a) Wand, Staff, or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 750 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Senseless 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This spell blocks perception of one particular sensation. For example, the subject might not be able to feel a 
  weapon hitting him, or he might not be able to hear someone talking. Other perceptions are not affected.  
  The subject gets an additional IQ roll if he has some reason to disbelieve his senses. For example, if a 
  person didn’t feel a weapon strike, but saw a bloody  wound on his body, he would get another IQ roll to 
  resist the spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Daze 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Sensory Overload 
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  Any stimulus the subject receives is intensified in the subject's mind to the point where it seems painful. 
  Normal light seems painfully bright, conversation is intensified to the point where it sounds like am plified 
  screams, a light touch feels like intense pressure.  
  While the spell is in effect, the subject is at - 4 to IQ, Sense rolls, and mental skills. High Pain Threshold is 
  cancelled for the Duration of the spell. The subject must also make a Will roll every 10 seconds to withstand 
  "normal" stimulus (anything beyond standing naked in a comfortably warm, darkened, silent room).  
  If forced to cope with a strong stimulus (pain, loud noise, strong light), he must roll vs. Will to avoid crying 
  out in pain and being Stunned for 2d6 seconds. On a critical failure he falls unconscious. Real pain caused 
  by wounds or torture requires a Fright Check at -4 and a Will roll to avoid passing out.  
  Torturing people under the influence of this spell is utterly evil, but gives +2 to Interrogation rolls, if the 
  subject can be kept conscious long enough to speak.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5, 4 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Madness 
  Magic Item: (a) Wand, Staff, or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Sensory Overload  
  Resisted by IQ 
  The subject's senses are made so sensitive that they become painful. The subject automatically receives the 
  Low Pain Threshold disadvantage (or loses the High Pain Threshold advantage). Unless the subject stands 
  perfectly still in a dark, silent room, they must roll vs. IQ each turn or be Mentally Stunned, Deafened and 
  Blinded by the “intense” sensory input they are receiving. If the subject is exposed to intense stimulus (like 
  someone tickling them or shouting in their ear), then they must roll at a penalty set by the GM. On a critical 
  failure they must make a Fright Check with the amount by which they failed their die roll applied as a 
  penalty! On a critical success the victim shakes off the effects of the spell.  
  Prolonged exposure to this spell will eventually drive someone crazy!  
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain.  
  Duration: 30 Seconds.

  person who is about to go to sleep. The motion of the subject can't be controlled by this spell.

  Solipsism  
  Regular, resisted by IQ

  from the Solipsism disadvantage.

  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 200 points.  
  Split Mind (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the caster to split his mind into two parts. Both minds are independent and autonomous, 
  but with access to all the same skills and spells. The minds communicate fully. This allows the cater to do 
  two things at once, as long as least one of those things is a mental maneuver (one that doesn't involve 
  physical action). For example, the cater may cast 2 spells at once, as long as one is known at a level that it 
  could be cast without physical action. Or he may elect to think over a question while in melee. Spells cast by 
  different minds are not counted as "on" for other minds, but the Split Mind spell is counted as on for both 
  minds. Attacks which affect the caster's mind only affect one mind at a time. In the case where an attack 
  usurps the mind's control of the body (as in Control Person), if another mind successfully resists then the 
  spell fails. (See the Compartmentalized Mind advantage in GURPS Lensmen.)  
  There is a risk using this spell, however. On a critical failure casting this spell, the caster gains a Split 
  Personality disadvantage at the -10 point level (or another personality if he already has a Split Personality at 
  any level). Furthermore, both the caster's minds must make a Will roll every 10 seconds of the spell's 
  Duration or suffer divergent personalities. For each failure the GM imposes a difference of 5 points between 
  the personalities. (For example, the personalities have different quirks, or one personality has Pyromania 
  when the other doesn't.)  
  When this spell ends, the minds must be re- integrated. Divergent personalities enter into a contest of Wills - 
  the winner becomes the caster's new personality. The caster is unable to act (Mentally Stunned) while the 
  contest is being resolved.  
  The GM is encouraged to be fiendish when adjudicating this spell.  
  Duration: 10 seconds

  modified by any levels of Bravery and by Cowardice.

  out of the area as quickly as possible. Animals and NPCS are at -1 to Handling or Loyalty rolls while in the 
  Spooky area, again, modified by Bravery or Cowardice.

  Surreal  
  Area, resisted by IQ 
  When this spell is cast, everything in the area of effect seems to vibrate, wave in the breeze or otherwise 
  move in subtle and disorienting ways, light moves strangely, colors don’t look right, and compasses swing 
  wildly. Anyone in the area of effect must make an IQ roll when the spell is first cast and every minute 
  thereafter  or be Mentally Stunned. If they are Mentally Stunned, the subjects must roll vs. IQ to avoid 
  wandering about in random directions overcome by their strange surroundings. Navigation is made 
  impossible and skills like Tracking, Navigation, or Orienteering are impossible while the spell is in effect.  
  If victims stumble out of the area of effect, they get an IQ roll every turn to recover from their Stun.  
  This is also a Mind Control spell.

  Tactile Hallucination  
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  The subject feels a hallucinatory touch or sensation on his skin, like pressure, itching, or the sensation that 
  insects are crawling over his body. This is always distracting (-1 to IQ and mental skills) and could be 
  frightening.

  Tonguetwister  
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  The subject will not be able to speak coherently for the Duration of the spell. He will stumble over his words, 
  utter malapropisms and spoonerisms, stutter and mumble. As long as the spell lasts, the subject loses any 
  effects of the Voice advantage, and can't use any skill or spell which requires speech. He can however shout 
  or make other noises which don't require coherent speech.

  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Suggestion

  Uncontrollable Laughter  
  Regular, Resisted by Will 
  The subject is overcome by the uncontrollable urge to laugh and everything they see or hear seems 
  outrageously funny.  
  Laughing characters are at -2 to DX, IQ, and ST for the Duration of the spell. All skills and Active Defenses 
  are likewise hindered. Their Movement is halved.  
  Laughing characters react to anything at +2 (with reactions modified towards ignoring the subject), unless it 
  is an obvious, immediate threat to their survival. Any shock or shocking stimulus (like a potential Fright 
  Check) gives victims of this spell another Will roll to throw off the effects of the spell.

  Uncontrollable Urge  
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Causes subject to be overcome by some basic animal drive: hunger, thirst, lust, sleep, or fear. If the subject 
  fails their resistance roll, they will instantly give in to this urge and take whatever steps are necessary to 
  satisfy that urge that are immediately at hand. Unlike the Suggestion spell, the subject isn't consciously 
  aware of what they are doing, they are acting on an instinctual level. The subjects get +3 to Will if what they 
  are Urged to do goes against their moral principles, their beliefs, their knowledge, or their safety.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 5 points, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 750 points.  
  Unease 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  For the Duration of the spell, the subject gets the strong sense of being observed by hostile forces or feels a 
  vague sense of dread and danger. This cancels the effects of the Danger Sense advantage for the Duration 
  of the spell, and makes the subject uneasy. This last effect must be role-played.  
  Duration: 1 hour

   406 
  Unforgettable 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  All events that the subject witnesses and anything said to the subject while the spell is in effect become 
  deeply and permanently etched in the subject’s memory so that they can never be forgotten and will always 
  seem as if they happened just a moment before. The subject will be able to recall the events and 
   
  Information perfectly, as if he had second level Eidetic Memory.  
  This spell is commonly used to help witnesses to oaths and contracts remember what was said and done, 
  but it also has malicious uses as well. Anyone who sees a frightful event or undergoes torture while this spell 
  is cast on them must roll vs. Will at twice the normal Fright penalty.  
  Duration: 1 minute

  Vale of Tears 
  Area, resisted by Will 
  This spell makes an area seem drab, sullen and boring. Days seem longer, birds don’t sing, and the sky 
  seems to be perennially overcast, even if it isn’t really. Anyone within the area of effect must roll vs. Will 
  every hour or become apathetic and listless, as if they  suffered from the Depression and Hidebound 
  disadvantages.  
  Base Cost: 1 per hex (minimum of 5 hexes), half to maintain. This spell can be made permanent for 
  50 times the Base Cost.  
  Duration: 1 day.

  turn in order to do anything more complex than stand still or hang on to some secure object. If they fail their 
  DX roll by 4 points or more they fall unless they are supporting themselves. The victim is also at -4 DX to 
  perform any physical skill.

  Wizard's Veil (VH) 
  Regular; Resisted by IQ 
  All sensory input is severed. The subject immediately falls, and can take no action at all. Perfect Timing and 
  Absolute Direction are negated, and the subject will feel that Time is passing 4 Times slower than it really is. 
  The subject can still think, so a mage could cast a spell that required no ritual as long as an additional will 
  roll is made. At the end of the spell, the subject makes a fright check at to 1 per minute spent under the veil.

  Movement Spells 
  Changes to spells from GURPS Magic 
  Haste - Speed is increased as well.  
  Quick March - For double cost, Movement can be tripled.  
  Great Haste - This spell effectively gives the subject one level of Enhanced Time Sense. The spell can be 
  extended for the same cost as the Base Cost. For double cost the subject can move three times per turn but 
  they take half of their Fatigue as HP damage.  
  Apportation - For a 50% increase in cost speed can be doubled from 1 hex per turn to 2 hexes per turn. For 
  double cost, speed can be increased to three hexes per turn.  
  Lighten Burden - For 1 point weight can be reduced by 10%. For 10 points weight can be reduced by 75%. 
  The subject must actually be able to lift the unmodified weight before this spell can be cast.  
  Wallwalker - Any part of the subject's body can be used to "stick" to a wall or cieling. For example, a person 
  could stick their back to the wall and have all four limbs free. The Wall Fighting maneuver allows a character 
  to fight using the Wallwalker spell and also allows them to fight against Wallwalkers. If the G.M. doesn't use 
  maneuvers, allow the -2 penalty to be bought off as an unfamiliarity penalty. Note that while this spell allows 
  the subject to walk on walls or cielings, it has no effect on gravity! Long hair will hang down from the 
  subject's head, objects will fall out of pouches and pockets, and loose clot hing might hang down to interfere 
  with the subject's vision. If the subject is wearing loose equipment or clothing, the G.M. can impose a 
  penalty to DX and/or Vision because of inconvenient possessions.  
  Wall Fighting,Average,Defaults to Combat Skill-2 
  Cannot Exceed Combat Skill 
  This maneuver allows a character to fight using the Wallwalker spell and also allows them to fight against 
  Wallwalkers. Each level of this maneuver buys off one point of the -2 penalty to fight at odd angles. The 
  subject will learn how to fight while "standing sideways" on walls or hanging upside down on cielings. This 
  maneuver is also useful for characters with the Clinging advantage.  
  Poltergeist - Both living creatures and inanimate objects can be hurled. For half costs objects can be hurled 
  as if they were thrown by a man with ST 10. For double cost objects can be hurled as if they were thrown by 
  a man with ST 20!  
  Manipulate - This spell can be used to tweak, poke, tickle, grasp, or scratch a living subject. This might be 
  distracting or even mildly painful (-1 to skills or roll vs. Will to keep concentration) but will never seriously 
  damage the victim. If used on an animate object the subject gets a resistance roll vs. Will.  
  Undo - Objects which are permanently joined (such as rivets, welds, or seams) can't be undone by a normal 
  application of this spell. For double cost permanent fastenings can be undone. Each application will remove 
  about 3 inches of welding or riveting or 6 inches of sewn seams.  
  Air Golem - The mage sets the routine the golem will follow when the spell is cast. For double cost two 
  golems can be made to cooperate. Each additional multiple of cost allows an extra golem to be added. This 
  allows complex machines to operate without an obvious source of power.  
  • 
  A weak golem (ST 10) can be created for 3 points (2 to maintain).  
  • 
  A fast golem which works at double speed but which has ST 10 costs 4 points (3 to maintain).  
  • 
  A fast and strong (ST 15) golem costs 5 points (4 to maintain).  
  • 
  A brute golem (ST 30) costs 5 points (4 to maintain).  
  An Air Golem cannot supply motive power directly to an engine, unless there is some sort of crank or 
  treadmill system that a normal human could use to power the system. Within these limitations, a ST 15 air 
  golem could apply 0.3 Kw of power.  
  Levitation and Mass Levitation - The mage can rotate the subject along any axis. If the subject is forced to 
  fight at an odd angle he is at -2 to hit and defend in addition to any other penalties. If the subject is willing, 
  he can move without penalties as if he had cast the spell on himself.  
  Swim - The subject can swim at twice his normal movement rate for double cost. Pressure Support is not 
  included in the cost of the spell.  
  Flight - In a high magic campaign costs should be reduced to 4 to cast, 2 to maintain. For 6 points (3 to 
  maintain) the subject can fly at double speed (Move 20, 40 mph).  
  
   409 
  Hawk Flight - For 6 points (3 to maintain) the subject can fly at Move 30 (60 mph). Each doubling of cost 
  beyond the Base Cost doubles speed.  
  Teleport and Teleport Other- If the mage has a detailed verbal description, good directions, or an accurate 
  map reference he can attempt to teleport to a place that he's never seen at -6 to skill. For 2 extra points the 
  mage can "teleport without error". If the spell fails on any result other than a critical failure, the mage stays 
  where he was rather than taking damage or being randomly teleported.  
  Winged Knife - Costs to cast this spell should be halved. For double cost a weapon can be thrown at ST 
  20. For a 50% reduction in Base Cost, a weapon can be thrown at ST 10.  
  Changes to spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Light Tread - Tracking by magic or scent is completely unaffected.  
  Ethereal Body - Similar spells exist for the Astral plane and other planes as well. For 1 point extra the mage 
  can "buy off" the -2 penalty to resist spells.

  New Spells 
  Acrobat 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the subject to jump up to 15' feet in any direction and Bounce as per the super ability. In 
  addition, he also temporarily has Acrobatics 13 and the Catfall advantage. By use of this spell, the subject 
  can bounce off walls, swing on ropes, or do other feats. The subject can also perform the Acrobatic Dodge 
  as per the cinematic maneuver.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 3 per hex of creature, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 2 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Haste, Apportation 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Automobility 
  Regular 
  This spell allows a vehicle to move at its normal rate without an obvious motive force.  
  Wagons could be made to move without horses, cars can move without gas. This spell does not allow the 
  vehicle to do anything that it couldn't normally do, it only lets it move without an obvious source of power. 
  Vehicles can be moved without a driver or pilot to guide them, but they will quickly crash or roll to a halt if 
  there is nobody to guide them.  
  If used to move vehicles which have anti- theft devices (like steering columns which lock if there is no key in 
  the ignition), the mage must make another roll against his skill with this spell to defeat them, just as if he was 
  trying to defeat the security systems using mundane skills. If there are subsystems not vital to the 
  functioning of the vehicle or the survival of its passengers (like weapons or surveillance systems) which 
  require a separate skill roll to activate, this spell will not allow the mage to access them.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  
   410 
  Base Cost: 1 per 200 lbs. of vehicle to be animated, half to maintain (minimum 1 point). This spell 
  can be made permanent for 50 times Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Apportation 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Autopilot  
  Regular 
  This spell allows a vehicle to pilot itself at the skill level of the subject, as long as the subject would normally 
  have control of it. The autopilot works normally as long as the vehicle is functioning normally and is not 
  required to do any extreme maneuvers. Thus, a plane could be made to take off and land on "autopilot", but 
  the spell wouldn't be able to cope with a sudden mechanical failure or a dogfight.  
  The vehicle can be made to maneuver "intelligently" in combat or react appropriately in a crisis, if more 
  energy is put into the spell.  
  If the vehicle runs into trouble that the operator would normally be aware of were he actually piloting the 
  vehicle, the spell will immediately alert him and tell him the nature of the problem. If the operator is rendered 
  unconcious, the spell is immediately cancelled and the vehicle becomes uncontrolled.  
  Duration: 1 minute

  spell can be made permanent for 100 times the Base Cost.

  mage makes his skill roll, he can increase the multiply his normal jumping distance for one jump. If the mage 
  makes his skill roll by 0-3 he doubles his jumping distance. If he makes it by 4-6 he triples it and so on. So, if

  Juggernaut 
  Regular, Resisted by ST or Will 
  Juggernaut boosts the subject's speed for one second only, while simultaneously heightening their DR 
  against impact from their movement. Thus, DR would be added if the subject ran into a wall, but not if the 
  subject was shot with an arrow from the side.  
  DR and Speed are increased based on how much Fatigue was spent,. DR goes up 1 point per Fatigue point 
  spent, Move increases on a sliding scale.  
  After the spell ends, the subject must roll vs DX or Acrobatics minus Encumbrance level to keep his feet. All 
  momentum is lost at the end of the second, regardless of how fast the subject was going or whether they hit 
  anything - it's magic! Hence, the subject can come to a dead stop if he chooses and higher speed doesn’t 
  give any greater penalty to keep your feet.  
  An unwilling subject can resist with their choice of ST or Will. A subject who is speeded by Juggernaut but 
  has never seen the spell before, or is surprised by it, must make an IQ roll or have the amount they failed 
  the roll by subtracted from their DX or Acrobatics when they attempt to remain on their feet.  
  Base Cost: 1 point per 1 DR, plus Move +1 = 1 Fatigue, Move +2 = 3 Fatigue, Move 3 = 6, Move 4 
  = 10, Move 5 = 15 and so on. The formula is [Additional Move = {(fatigue + 1) x (fatigue / 2)}], can’t 
  be maintained.

  Lightening Flight (VH) 
  Regular 
  Like Hawk Flight only even faster. Subject has a move of 160! (320 mph) without encumbrance: 
  encumbrance counts x 20 against this speed! For example, Light Encumbrance, normally -1, reduces move 
  by 20. Subject can move and fight as normal and has a combat advantage if above his foes (see B123).

  his normal movement rate. The caster has his own air supply while he moves through the object, but he

  wearer only. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Mule 
  Regular 
  The Mule spell operates much like the Air- Golem spell, except that the Mule is less intelligent, but 
  considerably stronger.  
  The Mule can only obey very simple commands, and won’t understand repetitive tasks. If a repetitive task is 
  required, the caster will have to constantly repeat his instructions. It will understand simple, one -word 
  commands such as “Walk” or “Hold This.” The ST of the Mule is equal to the mage’s spell skill x 3. So, if a 
  mage knows Mule at skill level 12, he can create a Mule with ST 36. A mage who knows Mule at skill level 
  20 could create a Mule with ST 60!  
  As the name suggests, the Mule is most commonly used as a porter. The Mule will not attempt to move a 
  resisting life-form and will not engage in contests of ST against living creatures. The life-forms force of will is 
  sufficient to drive the Mule back.

  Remote Control 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the subject to mentally command the motions of an item attached to his body within its 
  normal limits of motion. Typically this spell is used to enchant artificial or augmented limbs so that they 
  function more like real limbs, however, it could be used for a number of other purposes where mentally 
  controlling a flexible object would be useful. For example, a mountaineer with a rope tied around his waist 
  could mentally command it to uncoil and tie itself around a projecting rock while he held onto a sheer cliff 
  with his hands.

  Slow Motion 
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  Makes the subject move at 1/5 of their normal Move. All blows the subject strikes, except at immobile targets 
  miss and blows do 1/2 normal damage and the subject has no effective Active Defenses. In addition, the 
  subject is at -6 to all physical skills which require movement. Spells (or any other task) take 5 times as long 
  to cast.  
  On the positve side, the subject uses oxygen and food at 1/5 the normal rate.

  Soft Landing 
  Regular 
  Allows subject to land safely after a lengthy fall, in a manner similar to the Catfall advantage. 
  This is different from Slow Fall in that the fall is at normal speed, but the subject is protected from the 
  damage this fall would normally cause. 
  Note that only falling damage is negated by this spell, not the damage from the surface fallen onto. Boiling 
  lava, sharp stakes and the like are still nasty.

  Succor (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell is a powerful variant of the Teleport Other spell. When the subject speaks a command word (or 
  just wills it to occur) he, and everything he is carrying, is teleported to a preset location specified by the 
  mage.  
  In other respects this spell is like the Teleport spell, except that no matter how far away the subject is, he (or 
  the mage) doesn’t have to pay any extra cost.  
  Living creatures carried by the subject get a roll vs. Will to resist being teleported along with the subject.  
  Duration: 1 day 
  Base Cost: 10, same to maintain 
  Prerequisites: Teleport Other, Beacon 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 2,500 points.  
  Telekinesis

  Time to Cast: 2 seconds 
  Prerequisite: Poltergeist, Levitation 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 750 points.  
  Teleport Object 
  Regular 
  This spell is identical to the Teleport spell except that it will only affect non-living objects.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 3 per 50 lbs. of material (minimum 3), plus long-range modifiers.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Apportation 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Thrown Weapon 
  Regular 
  This spell allows a weapon which could not normally be thrown to become an effective hurled weapon. 
  Weapons hurled via this spell have Acc 2, SS 14, Eff: Special, Max special. And do normal swing or crush 
  damage (whichever is less or whichever the GM considers to be more likely).  
  The first point of energy gives 1/2D 10, Max 20. Each point of energy doubles 1/2D and Max range. The ST 
  of the thrower isn't a factor since magic is powering the flight of the weapon.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 2 points, can't be renewed.  
  Prerequisite : Apportation 
  Magic Item: (a) Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. (b) Any weapon. Energy Cost: 25 
  points per pound of material.  
  Unseen Servant 
  Regular 
  Unseen Servant operates much like Air- Golem but is slightly weaker (ST 10) and is much “smarter”. A 
  ‘Servant can change its task as commanded and it can understand and carry out orders of any complexity 
  as long as the task doesn’t vary in anything more than trivial ways. For example, the ‘Servant could play a 
  
   421 
  tune on the harp, make copies of a picture, or fold and put away laundry. The only limitation is that the 
  ‘Servant cannot be made to perform any task that the mage could not perform himself and will only work at 
  the mage’s skill level.  
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain.  
  Duration: 1 Hour.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds to cast, 3 to "program" the ‘Servant after it is created.  
  Prerequisites: Air Golem, any Mind Control spell.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Waltzing Weapon 
  Regular, resisted by ST 
  A weapon under the influence of this spell acts as though it were enchanted with the conventional Dancing 
  Weapon spell, except that it is under the caster's control. A Dancing Weapon has a skill equal to the caster's 
  skill with that weapon, a strength equal to the least of the singer's Dancing Weapon, Singing, or Musical 
  Instrument skills and a Move equal to that of the caster. 
  Dancing Weapon may be cast on a foe's weapon: the foe resists with his ST. Should the resistance fail, the 
  weapon has been wrenched free and the opponent will come under attack on the next turn. If the resistance 
  succeeds, the caster must re- spend the energy to maintain the spell immediately in order to try again next 
  round. A foe trying to hold onto a Dancing Weapon cannot attack with that weapon.  
  Duration: 5 seconds.  
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 4 seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Apportation, Manipulate.  
  Magic Item: None, but see the Dancing Weapon Enchantment spell.  
  Whirling Dervish  
  Regular 
  This spell allows the subject to spin like a figure skater, almost faster than the eye can see, without getting 
  dizzy.  
  This allows them to attack into or defend against attacks from any direction. While this spell is in effect, all 
  the subject's hexes are treated a "Front" hexes, and the subject can move at up to his normal Move in any 
  direction.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 3 per hex of creature, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Haste 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 750 points. (b)Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Energy Cost: 500 points.

  Necromantic Spells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Death Vision - The mage can "program" the vision, however, if the vision doesn't reflect a plausible death 
  (drowning in the desert, freezing to death in the jungle) the victim gets +2 to his Fright Check.  
  Sense Spirit - For double cost the mage can know what sort of spirit he is dealing with.  
  Summon Spirit - If the GM wishes, he can allow a given spirit to be summoned more often than once a year. 
  The mage can also attempt to cast this spell even if he doesn't have the subject's entire body to work with. If 
  he only has a possession strongly linked to the deceased he can roll at -5. If he has a partial body or a 
  single body part he rolls at -2. When summoned, the shade rolls its reaction normally. This won't affect the 
  accuracy of the spirit's answers, but it will determine the general tone of the "interview" and the amount of 
  Information the mage receives.  
  Zombie - Any specially-prepared body which has been properly preserved, dried, and wrapped can be 
  turned into a mummy. The process of mummification takes approximately 3 days and $300 worth of 
  ingredients. A successful roll vs. Thanatology or Professional Skill (Mortician) is required to do the job 
  correctly. A failed roll will produce an imperfect mummy which will quickly rot. If animated, it produces a 
  normal zombie.  
  Control Zombie - Zombies can be controlled at long-range using long-distance modifiers for spell success.  
  Turn Zombie - For half cost zombies are just kept at bay but are not harmed.  
  Animation - This spell actually summons a ghostly spirit into an item. The Animate Object spell in GURPS 
  Grimoire produces the same effect without necromancy.  
  Skull Spirit - The Preserve Bone spell (q.v.) allows the skull to be reused.  
  Soul Jar - The "soul" consists of the personality, memory, skills, and mental advantages and disadvantages. 
  If the mage takes over a new body, his IQ and Will are that of his previous body. ST, DX, and HT are that of 
  the new body. Mental skills are unchanged. Points put into physical skills stay the same but they are figured 
  from the attributes of the new body. Physical advantages and disadvantages are that of the new body. 
  Social advantages and disadvantages might be that of the new body or that of the mage, depen ding on the 
  circumstances and the GM's decision.  
  Steal Strength and Steal Health - For double cost Health or Strength can be stolen from a conscious, 
  unwilling victim. In this case the subject gets a roll vs. Will to resist the spell.  
  Age - Aging is based on the creature's total life span. Creatures with very short life spans might only be 
  aged a few hours, creatures with very long life spans might be aged years. Assume that an "average" 
  human life span is 70 years, so each application of this spell steals 1/840th of its total life span. So a 
  creature with a 10 year life span would be aged 120/840 = .142 months or about 4 days.  
  Steal Youth - For triple cost a member of a different race can be affected. If the creature has a shorter life 
  span than the mage, the mage gains half as much youth as the subject loses based on the proportionate life 
  span of the subject (see above). If the subject has a longer life span, the spell works normally. For example, 
  if a human mage steals a "year" of life from a dog (average life span 10 years) then he would only get 10/70 
  = .142 years = 1.7 months of extra life but the dog would only be aged by 3.4 months. If mage were to steal 
  youth from a tree (average life span 500 years) then he would only get 1 year of life and the tree would only 
  be aged two years. Costs in both cases are tripled over the Base Cost of the spell. A desperate mage could 
  steal youth from animals, but the benefits would hardly weigh the costs of casting this spell.  
  If the GM feels that this spell is being abused, he can limit the maximum skill level at which it can be learned 
  or he can rule that any critical failure "releases" all the youth the mage has ever stolen, returning him to his 
  "proper" age. If this occurs the mage might have to make one or more Aging rolls and he could die.  
  Planar Summons - This spell can also be used to summon ghosts and other free-willed spirits of the dead 
  who reside on other planes.  
  Summon Demon - Greater and lesser demons can be summoned for greater or lesser costs.  
  Banish - This spell can be used against any extra-planar creature, however the mage must know the 
  creature's plane and/or planet of origin to avoid the skill penalty.

  The distinction between domestic and wild is love. If nobody owns astray dog, then it's a Small Wild Animal, 
  and worth 5. If a little boy owns a pet mongoose, then it counts as a Small Domestic Animal. The table is 
  based on how *important* the life is; it is presumed that the souls ofthe sacrificed are more valuable to Hell if 
  they are valued and cared for. In most societies, the values of sacrifices are increased by 50% for a female 
  victim. If the victim is of an intelligent race (male or female), double value for virginity. Double the value of 
  the sacrifice if the sacrifice isone of the mages performing the ceremony. This must be entirely voluntary.He 
  doesn't die until AFTER the spell is cast.  
  Time: The ceremony for the sacrifice itself may either be woven into a spell ceremony (adding 2x Potency, 
  in minutes, to the ceremony's Duration), or performed for it's own sake, to lower the Tally of the mages 
  present (who can divide it in whatever way they agree upon). If everybody that can be reduced to zero Tally 
  IS, the excess energy islost unless used immediately in the ceremonial casting. If the sacrificeis a stand-
  alone energy -grab, the energy is simply los t.  
  If you don't use Umana: Ignore the bit about Tally.

  Agonize 
  Regular; resisted by Will-3 
  This spell is like the Pain spell, but it can be maintained. It causes every nerve in subject's body to send an 
  intense pain response. The subject must roll vs. Will-3 to perform even the simplest action, and must roll vs. 
  Will-3 to avoid crying out. If the victim critically fails his Will roll, he passes out for 3d6 minutes.  
  This is also a Body Control spell.

  Analyze Spirit  
  Information; resisted by IQ 
  This spell lets the caster know the Attributes, skills, advantages, and disadvantages of an undead creature, 
  demon, or extra-planar being with about 80% accuracy. The better the success, the more accurate the 
  information. If the being to be analyzed is not present, long distance modifiers apply. The creature can 
  attempt to resist or mislead this spell by rolling vs. IQ 
  Base Cost: 5 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Summon Spirit 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Bind Spirit 
   Enchantment; resisted by Will 
  Binds the spirit of a demon, ghost, dead soul, or extra-planar creature into an item or forces it to 
  permanently stay in one location.  
  The mage must enchant the item he wishes to bind the spirit into, then summon the spirit and touch the item 
  to the spirit. If the creature fails a Will roll, it is "sucked" into the and is trapped until it is released by the 
  mage or the item is broken.  
  If the item isn't sufficiently well enchanted to hold the creature, it gets +1 to Will for every point of ST or Will 
  by which the enchantment falls short.  
  This spell is useful for making certain Magic Items or for trapping demons, ghosts, and other similar 
  creatures.  
  Base Cost: 20 per point of ST and Will of the creature to be trapped.  
  Prerequisite : Enchantment, Bind Spirit 
  Blood Sacrifice

  When this spell is cast, a dark blue glow encompasses the caster's hand and his touch does damage just by

  versus this attack. In addition, if the subject fails to resist he loses 1 point of ST for every point of energy the 
  caster put into the spell.  
  This spell has a special effect upon undead. Undead touched by the caster suffer no damage or ST loss but 
  must successfully roll their Will or flee in panic for 2d6 turns.

  Coerce Spirit 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the mage to coerce a ghost or other spirit to perform one task for him. If the entity does not 
  do as the mage wishes, it will take 1d points of damage or have some other calamity befall it. (The mage 
  and the GM must agree on the threat the mage uses.) While the spell is in force, the spirit cannot attack the 
  mage and it must work within the letter of the mage’s command. However, the spirit may try to pervert the 
  mage’s intent and it might attempt to seek revenge on the mage once the spell ends. The details are left to 
  the GM. 
  If the spirit is commanded to fight for the mage, it will do so for one battle before the conditions of the 
  bargain are fulfilled and it is freed. The mage also cannot command the spirit to perform endless or long-
  term tasks. It is assumed that any task that doesn’t have an obvious end to it is finished at the end of 24 
  hours. The spirit is free to ignore any task which cannot be completed within a day. Thus, a spirit would 
  interpret “Guard my possessions.” as “Guard my possessions for a day.” and it would be free to ignore the 
  command “Guard my possessions forever.” 
  Base Cost: 3, can’t be maintained 
  Duration: 1 day or until the task is completed, whichever is less

  an immediate Will roll at +2. If the caster asks the creature to do something suicidal, it gets a Will roll at +6 to

  the death. The spell will NOT tell the caster who killed the victim if he was murdered.

  Demonic/Planar Servant  
  Regular 
  Demonic/Planar Servant is a powerful spell, allowing the mage to summon a creature and make it their 
  servant for a full day. The summoning is very similar to normal demon summoning or planar summons, in 
  that the caster must control the creature. The contest of skills is caster's spell skill + will, versus the 
  creature's ST + IQ. If the creature loses, then it must be the servant of the caster for a full day. The caster 
  gets +4 to the roll if he knows the creature's name.  
  The Planar Servant is cast, a minor creature from another plane will be summoned. If the Demonic Servant 
  is cast, then a minor demon, with -6 on all randomly generated attributes and powers, just as on page 87 of 
  the Grimoire.  
  If a planar servant is summoned, the GM must decide which plane it is from. Then, s/he should roll randomly 
  for Size and Speed on the Demon summoning tables, page 83 of the Grimoire, and subtract six from each 
  roll. When it comes to Special abilities, the GM should again roll randomly, subtracting six from the die roll, 
  and then decide if the special ability is applicable. If it is not, they should simply change it to something 
  similar, but closer to the planes genre.

  Destroy Life 
  Area, resisted by HT 
  Similar to the Sterilize spell, but this spell will kill all life in an area and make it impossible for life to return to 
  the blasted area. Any creature in the area takes 1d6 points of damage and must make a Will roll each 
  minute to stay in the blasted area. Plants and microorganisms are killed outright, though large, ancient, or 
  intelligent trees get a HT roll each day to survive.  
  The earth in the area is Poisoned as per the Poisoned Earth spell, and nothing will grow in the soil. The only 
  way in which the damage done by this spell can be reversed is by means of the Purify Earth spell and 
  various Healing and Plant spells.

  Exaction 
  Regular, resisted by ST + Will

  harm him for the Duration of the spell. In exchange, the mage agrees to free the creature from the confines 
  of the summoning circle and to let it move freely, as long as it returns before the spell ends (if the mage 
  wishes it). If the mage demands that the creature do something contrary to its ethics, the creature gets +4 to 
  Will. If the mage demands that the creature do something suicidal or very dangerous, it gets +8 to its Will. 
  The mage can get a bonus to his effective skill if he offers the summoned creature something in return, 
  either a favor or valuables.  
  The Banish spell can be automatically Linked to this spell (even if the mage doesn’t know the Link spell) as 
  a condition of the “contract”. If cast immediately after the Exaction, the mage gets +6 to his effective Will to 
  banish the creature at the end of the spell’s Duration.

  by the mage, but before it can retaliate in any way.

  This spell allows the caster to make an area unhealthy. Anyone entering the affected area must roll vs. HT 
  or become infected with a disease.  
  
   432

  Intelligent Zombie (VH)  
  Enchantment 
  This spell imbues a mindless undead (IQ 2 or less - typically a skeleton or a zombie) with Intelligence. In the 
  casting of this spell, the subject's brain, or the remains thereof, is removed and replaced with a specially 
  prepared gem. The gem acts as a focus to draw together and intensify the dark forces already present in the 
  creature, giving it an intelligence of its own, determined by the size and perfection of the gem (see the table 
  below). In no case can the Intelligence of the undead be more than that of the mage who cast the spell.  
  Although the monster has Intelligence, it does not have free will - it is still subservient to its master (usually 
  the caster). However, the added IQ enables it to remember and carry out more complex commands and, 
  within certain limits, even display some initiative. Other skills appropriate to the IQ level can be possessed, 
  particularly if the person whose body is affected displayed them. For example, the animated body of a 
  deceased general would almost certainly have the Strategy skill if his corpse was given enough IQ. Psionic 
  or spell casting abilities are not retained, however.  
  Gem Value IQ Skills (cumulative) 1 karat 4 Simple Commands 2 karat 5 P/E skills and simple strategies, like 
  ambush can be learned. 4 karat 7 P/A skills and multi-step or conditional commands can be learned. 6 karat 
  8 M/E, P/H skills can be learned. 8 karat 10 M/A skills can be learned. 10 karat 11 Limited Leadership and 
  Initiative. 15 karat 12 M/H skills can be learned. Limited self-awareness. 20 karat 14 Leadership and 
  Initiative present, self-awareness. 50 karat 16 M/VH skills can be learned. Very Cunning. 100 karat 18 
  Extremely cunning 
  Undead with an IQ of 7 or better gain the ability to speak with a hollow, sepulchral tone (the gem is emitting 
  the sound, which echoes in the otherwise hollow skull). The undead can perform at a level given by the table 
  above. They can display initiative within their orders, but no more: an animated general given the order "take 
  these troops and defeat that army", would do so to the best of his ability, utilizing appropriate battlefield 
  tactics. However, he would not break off the attack to inform his master that the army is actually composed 
  of allies.  
  At the higher levels of intelligence, there are rumors that the undead gain levels of self- consciousness. They 
  are forbidden by the spell from disobeying their orders in the slightest or taking actions not supported by 
  orders, but they can use badly formulated orders to the disadvantage of their master. In the former example, 
  for instance, a very intelligent undead general might order his troops to concentrate on the leaders of the 
  friendly army, knowing them to be friends of the caster. Nevertheless, the draw for necromancers to create 
  such undead is immense, since they can be given very general commands - a super-genius skeleton 
  (especially a disguised one) single-mindedly pursuing the goal of killing a single person can do so in 
  unbelievably cunning ways.  
  
   433 
  Should their creator die, the undead created by this spell immediately gain their own free will, retaining their 
  new IQ.  
  Hits to the brain of an intelligent undead have a chance of smashing the gem brain automatically destroying 
  the monster. The gem has DR 3, HP 1 and the skull provides a natural DR of 1 for the brain, so any hit to 
  the brain by a crushing or cutting weapon which does at least 5 points of damage will destroy the gem. If the 
  undead is "killed" by other means, the gem may be extracted without breaking it. This irrevocably destroys 
  the undead and releases the magic within the gem allowing it to be used for other purposes.  
  Base Cost: 3 per point of Intelligence.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Zombie, Wisdom 
  Invisibility to Undead 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  Makes the subject invisible to undead for the Duration of the spell. In other respects this is like the invisibility 
  spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 per hex, 2 to maintain.

  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for

  Know Dead  
  Information 
  When cast on a set of remains, tells the caster the identity of the corpse. In the event of multiple 
  personalities/identities, the identity that the subject believed him/herself to be at the time of death will be the 
  one revealed. Spell can also be cast on a gravesite.  
  Duration: Instant.  
  Base Cost: 2.  
  Time to Cast: I minute.  
  Prerequisite : Death Vision 
  Kill 
  Area; Resisted by HT

  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 10 points, can’t be maintained.  
  Prerequisites: Death Touch, 10 Body Control spells including Pain, 3 Necromantic spells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  Leprosy (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell affects the victim with a "cinematic" version of leprosy, which causes his skin to rapidly slough off 
  and eventually makes his limbs drop away. When this spell is first cast, the subject's body is entirely covered 
  with welts, sores, and boils, reducing his appearance by 2 levels (to a minimum of Hideous) and causing 1d-
  4 points of damage. 
  For every minute that this spell is maintained, the victim must roll vs. HT or take 1d6-4 points of damage. 
  When he takes 2 points of damage, he must roll vs. HT again or suffer permanent cosmetic damage (ears 
  and/or nose falling away) which permanently reduces his Appearance by 2 levels. He must also roll vs. HT if 
  he touches anything or lose a finger (as the Missing Finger disadvantage). If he moves quickly, he must roll 
  vs. HT or lose toes. On a critical failure, he loses an arm or leg instead! Fortunately, limbs which drop off 
  due to this spell do no bleed, nor do they cause damage beyond that inflicted by the spell.  
  Base Cost: 6, same to maintain.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Plague 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  
   434 
  Lich (VH) 
  Enchantment 
  This powerful spell turns the caster into a lich, a powerful undead creature.  
  The process requires that caster to prepare his body for the transformation to lichedom by swallowing a 
  potion which slowly kills his body. Before he dies, the mage must Soul Jar his consciousness into a nearby 
  object and then transfer his soul back into his freshly dead, preserved, body.  
  The cost of this enchantment includes the cost of preparing the potion, preparing the caster's body for death, 
  preparing the special Soul Jar, and transferring from the Soul Jar back into the body. In addition to the mana 
  requirements, the lich spell also requires $50,000 in special ingredients and materials.  
  A lich gets +2 ST, +1 DX, HT +5, double the caster's normal hit points, PD 3, DR 7, and +1 Move.  
  In addition, the Lich gets the Claws, Dark Vision, Immunity to Spells (Mind Control, Body Control and Death 
  Spells), Immunity to Natural Attacks (Cold, Electricity), Venom (Paralysis), Silence (1 Level), Damage 
  Immunity (No Vitals, Doesn't Bleed, No Cut/Impaling Bonus), Doesn't Eat, Doesn't Drink, Doesn't Breathe, 
  Immunity to Disease, Immunity to Poison, and Unaging.  
  It has the disadvantages Dread (Holy Symbols and Light), Vulnerability (Holy People, Holy Water), Skinny, 
  Unliving and Monstrous Appearance.  
  The process of becoming a lich completely eliminates most physical disadvantages that are associated with 
  living creatures. Only things that change the structure of the skeleton, like Hunchback or One Arm, will follow 
  the Lich into unlife.  
  Mental disadvantages will generally transfer to the new form. Social disadvantages might transfer or the 
  might not depending on the disadvantage.  
  Physical advantages that the lich had in life generally transfer, unless they are completely irrelevant in the 
  new form (e.g. advantages like Rapid Healing). Mental advantages always transfer. Social advantages might 
  or might not transfer.  
  Any Good Looks the lich might have had are replaced by Monstrous appearance. Anyone seeing a Lich 
  must make a Fright Check at -6.  
  The lich's body gradually becomes desiccated. A fully preserved lich weighs about 100 lbs. less than it did in 
  life and looks like a mummified body.  
  The Lich's attributes are greatly improved by the transformation to lichedom. HT, HP, PD and DR are 
  especially impr oved. In addition, the lich form gives the mage several new attack forms. 
  The Lich's body is imbued with a ghastly chill that freezes living flesh. This allows the lich to do an extra +2 
  points of crushing damage with any attack it makes with its body. Even touching a victim will do 2 points of 
  damage.  
  Armor protects with its normal DR, but the chill "eats through" armor at the rate of 1 DR per turn. This 
  assumes the lich keeps continuous contact with the victim, if the victim breaks loose, DR protects normally.  
  Any touch of the lich also forces the victim to roll vs. HT (Strong Will and Magic Resistance help) or be 
  paralyzed for 10 minutes. At the end of 10 minutes the victim can roll vs. HT (with the above modifiers) to 
  regain his mobility. While paralyzed the victim is conscious of his surroundings, and his involuntary muscles 
  work, but he can't move. Lichs typically paralyze victims and then "freeze" them at their leisure. (I have 
  treated this as variant of the Venom advantage. The fact that it's magical in nature is just a special effect.)  
  Base Cost: 10,000 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Soul Jar, Zombie, 6 Other Necromantic Spells, 20 spells from 10 different 
  colleges.  
  Life in Death  
  Special  
  This spell allows the mage’s spirit to immediately turn into a ghost-like creature when his physical body is 
  slain. Whenever the mage takes damage that would kill him, his spirit is freed, not to pass on to the next life, 
  but to wander about attempting to possess the body of another person. The mage’s spirit, while invisible and 
  insubstantial is fairly weak and will quickly die without a host. It cannot regenerate Fatigue (even using the 
  Restore Strength spell) unti l it possesses a body. Use the rules on Starvation to reflect this slow Fatigue 
  loss. Also note that each attempt to posess a body costs the mage 1 Fatigue, whether he wins or loses the 
  fight! In other respects this spell is exactly like the Magic Jar spell, except that the mage is not trapped in a 
  jar. He must touch the victim (or vice-versa) in order to attempt to possess the victim. While in spirit form, the 
  mage can move as fast as he could in life, and is limited by any physical barriers that would have stopped 
  him in life. A mage can also voluntarily die, activating this spell, whenever he is in the presence of a threat 
  
   435 
  that could concievably kill him. For example, if the mage took poison, he could voluntarily fail his Resistance 
  Rolls and take maximum damage from the poison. If the damage is sufficient to bring him below 0 HT, he 
  can will himself to die.  
  Base Cost: 5, 3 to maintain 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Magic Jar, Soul Rider 
  Magic Item: Wand, Staff, or Jewelry. Usable only by a Mage. Allows the mage to cast this spell 
  once. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Life Leech 
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  This spell is similar to the Magic Jar spell, but it only sucks out part of the victim's soul. The object used to 
  Life Leech, must be touched to the victim's body. The victim can use any Active Defense to avoid being 
  touched and also gets a Will roll to avoid the effects of the spell.  
  If the victim fails his roll, part of his soul is sucked into the object. He is at -1 to HT, Will, and all skills for 
  each application of the Leech. If his HT is completely sucked out of him, he is trapped in the object while his 
  body lies in a coma, just as if he had been trapped by the Soul Jar spell. If the victim is completely trapped in 
  the jar, he loses the penalty to Will, HT, and skills.  
  If the object containing part of the victim's soul is destroyed, that part of the victim's soul is destroyed as 
  well, and the penalties he suffers are permanent.  
  The leech must be a solid object which weighs no more than 3 lbs. Weapons or wands are common.  
  Duration: 10 seconds or one application of the leech, whichever is less.  
  Base Cost: 6, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Steal Health, 3 Necromantic spells.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 750 points.  
  Living Barrier 
  Area 
  To create the barrier, the mage must flay the skin from three human victims into thin strips with a ceremonial 
  knife. These strips of human flesh are then woven into a web that covers the wall to be protected. The wall 
  takes on a reddish tint, but appear normal to most eyes. 
  This provides enough flesh to protect a circumference of 6 hexes. So long as the Barrier is maintained, 
  creatures of Essence, Ethereal Beings and the like cannot dissipate or teleport across it. This includes Astral 
  travelers, mages using Projection, ghosts, dimensional travelers and the like. There is no contest of skills, it 
  simply cannot be crossed.  
  No matter how well the mage knows this spell he must still use physical motions to prepare the skins for this 
  spell.  
  Duration: 1 month 
  Base Cost: 4 per hex, 2 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes per corpse to be flayed.  
  Prerequisite : Banish 
  Magic Item: Knife. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Living Brain 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the mage to preserve the living brain of the subject in sealed jar of liquid. While the brain 
  (and all the subject’s memories) are normal, the brain itself has no senses and no way of communicating, 
  except through magic or psionics.  
  If the subject knows spells at skill 20 or more, so they can cast them without words or gestures then they 
  can cast spells while in this form, otherwise, they are helpless.  
  The process of being turned into a living brain is horrifying. The victim must make a Fright Check at -10 
  when the process first occurs, and they must make a normal Fright Check every week thereafter. Most 
  victims of this process slowly go mad from sensory deprivation.  
  
   436 
  In order for this spell to work, the mage must have an extremely fresh brain - it must not have been removed 
  from the victim more than 5 minutes before the mage starts casting the spell - and a sealable container 
  which will hold at least a gallon of liquid. The magic supplies the “embalming fluid” and hermetically seals 
  the container.  
  The subject brain is allowed a Will check when this spell is first cast. If the Will check is successful, the brain 
  wills itself to die rather than being preserved.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 15 points 
  Time to Cast: 5 minutes 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Zombie, Preserve Body, 3 other Necromantic spells.  
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. (b) A jar which will cast this spell 
  once on any suitable brain placed inside it. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Locate Remains  
  Information 
  Tells the caster the direction and relative distance to the remains of an individual. Use the modifiers given for 
  familiarity in the description of the Telescan ability in GURPS Psionics (p. 26). If the remains have been 
  atomized or scattered (such as ashes into an ocean) the caster will get a vague sense of area.  
  Duration: Instant.  
  Base Cost: 4.  
  Time to Cast: 2 minutes.  
  Prerequisites: Seeker, Know Dead.  
  Magic Item: Divining rod made from bone or sinew. Energy cost to create: 400.  
  Mass Pestilence 
  Area, resisted by HT 
  Like the Pestilence spell except that it affects everyone in the area of effect.  
  Duration: 1 day 
  Base Cost: 5 per hex, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds.  
  Prerequisite : Pestilence 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Mass Zombie (VH) 
  Area 
  This spell is identical to the Zombie spell in almost every respect, except that it reanimates all corpses in the 
  area of effect. As per the Zombie spell, only relatively complete dead bodies are affected; an just as per 
  Zombie, this spell may produce Mummies, Skeletons or Zombies, depending on the age and condition of the 
  corpse. A single casting of this spell can produce a mixture of these three types of undead. Unlike the 
  Zombie spell, however, the subject corpses must be lying in their place of rest (upon a battlefield, in a grave, 
  et cetera) for the spell to work, and cannot be moved into a smaller area to facilitate the casting. Corpse in 
  graves up to 4 yards deep are affected by this spell, and Zombies in graves will claw their way to the surface 
  to join their master!  
  Corpses animated by this spell become the undead servants of the caster, but orders given to the undead 
  raised by this spell must be the kind that would be given by a leader to a group of followers, such as by a 
  rabble-rouser to a mob, or by an officer to a military unit. Individual members of the undead horde cannot be 
  singled out for specific tasks. Due to the energy costs involved, this spell is often cast ceremonially. In such 
  an instance, the leader of the circle becomes the master of the Zombies, while all other mages involved are 
  viewed by the Zombies as being the master's lieutenants. An order from any of the mages involved will be 
  obeyed, but the master's orders will always take precedence. The undead horde can be divided up into 
  smaller units which can the be put under the command of a different individual who was involved in the 
  casting.  
  For the purpose of this spell, assume that a typical graveyard in civilized parts will contain on the order of [3r 
  (r - 1) +1]/4 corpses (round fractions over one-half up), where r is the radius of the spell. This may vary, 
  depending on where the spell is cast. It would not be unreasonable to halve the number in an upper-class 
  
   437 
  cemetery with crypts and expansive family burial plots, while one should double this number for a 
  Napoleonic battlefield.  
  Duration: The Zombies remain animated until destroyed.  
  Base Cost: 7. Minimum radius 2 hexes.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute per hex of radius 
  Prerequisite : Zombie, and two or more levels of either Charisma or Strong Will.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 2,50 points.  
  Mirror Trap (VH)  
  Enchantment; Resisted by Will 
  Like the Soul Trap spell, but the "trap" is a mirror. Anyone who sees their reflection in the mirror must roll vs. 
  Will or have his body and soul sucked into the mirror. Roll vs. DX to avoid looking at the mirror. This roll is at 
  -4 if the victim is unsuspecting or has reason to look at the mirror, and is at +4 if the victim is wary and is 
  purposely averting his eyes.  
  While in the mirror, the victim is held in stasis, unless he is commanded to appear before the owner of the 
  mirror. Then he appears as a reflection in the mirror and may speak normally if the owner of the mirror 
  commands it. While trapped in the mirror, mages cannot use spells and psi characters may not use psionic 
  powers.  
  Victims bound into the mirror can only be freed by a mage outside of the mirror casting a spell to release 
  them, or by the command of the owner of the mirror.  
  The owner of the mirror can cast spells on victims in the mirror, "turn off" the mirror's trapping powers, and 
  free victim's from the mirror by speaking a command word.  
  If more victims are trapped in the mirror than the mirror has "cells" the victim who has been held the longest 
  is magically expelled from the mirror. If the mirror is smashed, all the trapped victims are released.  
  Duration: Permanent (Effects are instantaneous)  
  Base Cost: 5,000, plus 200 points per "cell" of stor age capacity.  
  Prerequisite : Soul Jar, Password 
  Miscarriage 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  Will spontaneously abort a fetus, doing 1d6 points of damage to the mother and killing the child.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 4 points, can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Necrosculpt 
  Regular 
  Necrosculpt allows the caster to create designer Zombies by mixing and matching parts. The necromancer 
  simply joins body the parts and casts Necrosculpt to create unique horrors. A mage can create 4-armed 
  zombies, zombie-centaurs made of human and animal corpses, winged zombies, or anything else he can 
  imagine. He is limited only by “what he has on hand.” 
  Although, initially, the mage must physically affix the body parts (sewn on, glued together, or what have 
  you), once the creature is animate, the pieces are held together by magic and won’t come loose. 
  Necrosculpt does not, itself, animate the hodge-podge the mage produces - it simply allows such a construct 
  to be subject to the Zombie spell.  
  On a regular failure, the Zombie spell only works on part of the creature. The “rest” remains inert, or comes 
  to life but is not under the mage’s control. In the latter case, the Zombie is likely to go Berserk! Every minute 
  that the zombie is animated, the mage must concentrate and make a Will roll to control the zombie. 
  Otherwise the zombie moves in a random fashion and attacks anyone who gets near it.  
  On a critical failure, some sinister spirit likes the mage's handiwork so much that it decides to possess the 
  Zombie. The nature of the spirit and the nature of its control is entirely up to the GM’s whim.  
  Once the zombie is animated, the GM is the sole arbitrator of the hybrid zombies abilities and statistics. He 
  should base Hit Points, Move, and Advantages based on living creatures with similar characteristics. GMs 
  are encouraged to be creative.  
  
   438 
  Base Cost: 2 per hex that the creation occupies when standing upright, multiplied by the number of 
  corpses (or different types of corpses for corpse of small creatures) from which parts were taken to 
  build the thing.  
  Duration: Permanent.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute, multiplied by the number of corpses from which parts were taken to build 
  the horror. Each hex worth of small creatures counts as one corpse.  
  Prerequisites: Enchant, Zombie, Shape Bone, 3 Necromantic Spells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Night Watchman 
  Regular 
  The Necromancer must bury or burn one or more corpses at a site he wishes to protect when he casts this 
  spell. From the next night on, the area will be, the area will be haunted by the ghost(s) of the deceased. The 
  ghosts will attempt to frighten away anyone who comes near, no matter what their wishes would have been 
  in life.  
  The ghost(s) created by this spell are normal spirits in all respects. They generally cannot materialize, but 
  have host of magical or supernatural powers which they can use to drive away intruders. However, after a 
  very long time (or shorter in some cases, Strong Will helps) some ghosts start to regain their free will. These 
  ghosts stray from their mission and attempt to get people to free them.  
  A guardian ghost can be freed either by the removal or destruction of whatever it was that they were 
  guarding, or by receiving proper funeral or burial for their mortal remains. (If the remains of the ghosts body 
  are placed inside the object they are supposed to guard, the remains must be removed from the guarded 
  object, simply moving both the object and the bones doesn’t break the spell.) Unfortunately, the spirit might 
  not speak coherently, and it might have such a distressing appearance and frightful manner that they 
  frighten away potential rescuers. In addition, certain spells and religious rites will prevent a body from being 
  used as a Night Watchman or will free a ghost from its duty.  
  While the ghosts are powerless during the day, in most cases the knowledge that an area is haunted is 
  enough to keep people away in the daytime as well. However, if the area they are to guard is dark during the 
  day, the Night Watchman will be as visible and audible as at night. Watchmen do no actual damage, but 
  they can make noises, create cold spots, manipulate small objects, create odd lighting effects, interfere with 
  machinery, and cause Fright Checks. A ghost has ST 12, IQ 9, DX 10, HT 13/15 and Move 6, They are 
  Insubstantial and Invisible (when they want to be) and they can Fly without Wings. Their body is equivalent 
  to a Body of Air. They are also Immune to Cutting and Impaling attacks, and they have No Neck, No Brain, 
  and No Vitals. They have Horrifying appearance (Fright Checks required when they materialize.)  
  The distance a ghost can move from the location where it's body is buried is equal to the mage’s Night 
  Watchman spell skill in feet. Some particularly nasty Necromancers will cast Night Watchman on a corpse 
  purely as an act of revenge. "So, you thought you would steal from me? Why don't you guard this stone in 
  the middle of the desert for the next eternity?"  
  Base Cost: Variable. 10 for a body, 15 for a body part as small as a hand, 20 for a body part as 
  small as a tooth.  
  Duration: Permanent, until body or guarded object is disrupted.  
  Time to Cast: 30 minutes per body.  
  Prerequisites: Magery, Enchantment, Summon Spirit.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Permanent Death

  Gives -5 to skill (or HT-5) to Resurrect, Reincarnate, Revive, or Zombify the subject. This spell is cumulative 
  with the Quick Rot spell.

   439 
  Personal Plague (VH)  
  Resisted by HT 
  This spell inflicts the subject with a disease, similar to the Pestilence spell, but the victim is immediately 
  begins to suffer severe symptoms of the disease as if it had progressed to an advanced state. The victim 
  isn’t so ill that he will die immediately, but he will certainly be incapacitated (reduced ST, IQ, and possibly 
  reduced DX and Appearance) and he certainly could die unless he gets medical aid. The exact symptoms 
  are up to the GM.  
  Base Cost: 8 
  Duration: Permanent, until cured or death.  
  Time to Cast: 30 Seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Pestilence, 6 other Necromantic spells.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,500 points.  
  Plague 
  Area 
  This spell allows the caster to infect an area (actually a colony of microbes within the area), a group of small 
  animals (such as a swarm of insects or a horde of rats), or a single large animal (the size of a cat or larger) 
  with a single contagious disease of his choice which could be transmitted by that animal. Thus, mosquitoes 
  can be made to carry malaria or yellow fever, rats can be made to carry plague or rabies, or bacteria can be 
  turned into cholera or anthrax bacilli.  
  The microbes or creatures will behave normally, but will spread their disease to others through the normal 
  vector for their disease, possibly causing an epidemic in susceptible areas. For example, rat fleas could be 
  made to carry the bubonic plague bacillus which would gradually kill the rats. As their rodent hosts died, the 
  fleas would bite humans, possibly starting a plague epidemic. Or, cholera bacteria could be introduced into a 
  well, sickening those who drank from it. However, if effective flea or rat-control measures are in place, or if 
  drinking water is purified before use then the epidemic won't spread very far.  
  In game terms, an area with the Plague spell on it will force anyone who is exposed to the disease vector 
  (based on the GM's judgement) to roll vs. HT or suffer from the effects of the disease. Large animals get a 
  roll vs. HT to avoid becoming plague carriers. If the mage attempts to affect an area of creatures, the GM 
  can assume that any successful casting of the spell infects enough of the animals to be a possible disease 
  vector. For game balance, the GM can prohibit the player from naming a disease that his character is 
  unfamiliar with.  
  Duration: 1 hour (effects of plagues transmitted out of this area are spread normally.)  
  Base Cost: 4 per hex, same to maintain. An area can be made to permanently cause a plague of a 
  specific sort on any appropriate creature in the area for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Cause Disease, Summon Animal 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Planar Summons (Spheres of Madness)  
  Special 
  Calls a Sphere of Madness to the caster's dimension. The Sphere will react to the caster (only) at +4, and 
  will listen to negotiations on a Neutral or better reaction. Any other reaction results in the Sphere leaving 
  immediately. Critical failure results in a hostile, attacking Sphere; critical success brings 1d6+1 Spheres. The 
  Sphere may stay indefinitely, but typically leaves all but the most charismatic and evil summoners after 1 
  hour. Some GM judgement is required here!  
  Spheres of Madness ST: 17 Move/Dodge: 14/9 Size: 1 DX: 14 PD/DR: 3/6 Weight: 180 lbs. IQ: 10 Damage: 
  Cut 1d6+4* HT: 14/17 Reach: C,1 
  * Can claw for Cut 1d6+4 twice per turn, in close combat or into any adjacent hex; a claw hit counts as a 
  grapple, even if it does no damage. When grappling, it can use both claws and 4 tentacles, giving +8 DX! 
  The beak can chew a hold in armor (usually head armor) in (DR/2) turns. After that, it does 2 points of 
  cutting damage each turn, ignoring DR! 
  Special Abilities: Constriction Attack (with tentacles), Extra Flexibility (all limbs), Full Coordination/2, High 
  Pain Threshold, Immunity to Disease, Immunity to Poison, Injury Tolerance (No Brain, Cutting/Impaling 
  Bonus, Neck or Vitals), Magic Resistance 10, 360-Degree Vision.

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Planar Summons (Demon Steed) 
  Special 
  Calls a Demon Steed to the caster's dimension.  
  The caster must immediately try to bond the Steed to its rider-to-be: this is treated as a Quick Contest 
  between the caster's spell level plus the desired rider's Will, versus the Steed's (ST+IQ)/2 of 31 
  If the caster is also to be the rider, use the caster's skill level plus Will. A success bonds Steed and rider 
  indefinitely. A failure results in the Steed vanishing. Critical Failure means the Steed attacks, while Critical 
  Success results in a Steed with +1 on all attributes.  
  At any time when the rider is unconscious or in the danger of dying  (i.e. at -HT or worse), roll a Contest 
  between the rider's Will only and the Steed's (ST + IQ/2 of 31. If the rider wins (unlikely), the Steed remains. 
  Otherwise, it vanishes in 1d6 seconds. A Steed can be Banished like a Demon, and should be treated as a 
  Demon in most regards.  
  Demon Steed ST: 55 Move/Dodge: 16/8 Size: 3 DX: 12 PD/DR: 2/2 Weight:2,200 lbs. IQ: 6 Damage: * HT:

  Prerequisite : Magery, at least one spell from each of 10 different colleges.  
  Magic Item: Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Possession 
  Special; resisted by Will 
  Summons a demon, ghost, or extra-planar creature to possess the victim.  
  In order to possess the victim the spirit summoned must win a contest of Wills with the subject. If it is 
  successful, the victim is possessed. If the victim defends against the attack, the summoned being must roll 
  its reaction. On a neutral or better reaction it will vanish. On a Poor or worse reaction, the summoned 
  creature will attempt to possess the mage who summoned the creature.  
  If the victim is possessed, the summoned creature is now in control of the victim's mind and body. The 
  subject will have no memory of being possessed or their actions while possessed if they are ever freed from 
  possession.  
  While the spirit is in charge, it will use the victim's body as it sees fit. Demons will use their victims to do as 
  much evil as possible and then damage the body as much as possible before leaving. Ghosts will use their 
  victims to fulfill goals that the ghost left unfinished in life. Extra-planar creatures will have their own weird 
  agendas. Possessed characters could very well attack the caster of the spell!  
  The cost of the spell is based solely on the Will score of the creature to be summoned. However, the 
  creature will have other attributes and advantages as the GM sees fit. Generally, the more powerful the Will, 
  the more powerful the creature will be over all.  
  
   441 
  The victim of this spell need not be present when the spell is cast, but if the victim is not present, then there

  Prerequisite : Zombie 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 200 points.  
  Reconstruct Brain (VH) 
  Regular 
  Reconstruct Brain allows the mage to restore intelligence, personality, and memory to a dead brain. He can 
  then implant this brain into a zombie to create an intelligent zombie. 
  In order to cast Reconstruct Brain the mage must have the zombified body of an intelligent creature and a 
  brain, though the two don’t necessarily have to come from the same person. Both the brain and the body 
  must be fresh (2 days dead or less) and must not be undergoing decomposition. The mage can either use 
  conventional embalming techniques or the Reverse Decay spell to achieve this. 
  Each casting of the spell can increase the brain’s IQ by 1, until its old IQ is reached. Once the brain is 
  restored to full intelligence, consciousness, speech, and general information will soon return. However, the 
  subject completely forgets personal details - although a few odd memories may filter through where the G.M. 
  thinks it interesting. Skills, apart from languages and basic social skills, will not return, and must be 
  relearned.  
  All Physical and Mental advantages and disadvantages re-emerge after reconstruction, whether the caster 
  wishes them to or not. This includes Magical Aptitude and Psionic Power. “Reconstructed” zombies will be 
  subject to Depression, although usually only at a quirk level. Deep down hey sense that something is not 
  right. 
  This spell does not give the caster control over the Zombie, and the Control Zombie spell will not work on a 
  corpse with a reconstructed brain. Charm and Enslave spells work normally. 
  Base Cost: 15 points 
  Duration: Permanent.  
  Time to Cast: 1 hour 
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Zombie, Reverse Decay, Summon Spirit, 3 Mind Control Spells. 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Rending (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This gruesome spell allows the mage to tear a victim limb from limb.  
  In order to cast the spell, the mage must make motions with his hands or body mimicking the motion he 
  wishes to have performed on the victim. If the spell is successful, one of the victim's limbs may be pulled off 
  as if he were in the grasp of a huge, invisible giant.  
  Pulling off an arm or leg does 3d6 points of damage. Pulling off a hand or foot does 2d6 points of damage. 
  Tearing a chunk of flesh from the victim's body does 1d6 points of damage. In all cases the victim must roll 
  for bleeding. Pulling off the head or tearing the body in two does 10d6 points of damage and instantly kills 
  the victim.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 10 points, 5 to maintain

  Resist Banishment  
  Regular 
  When cast on an extradimensional creature, this spell improves its chances of resisting the Exorcism spell. 
  For every point of energy used to power this spell, the creature gets +2 to effective Will to resist the 
  Banishment or Exorcism spells. Note that this spell only works on creatures which must be summoned using 
  the Summon Demon, Summon Elemental, Create Elemental, Summon Extraplanar Creature, and so on. It 
  does not work on “normal” creatures unless they are subject to being Exorcised or Banished for some 
  reason.  
  Note that a spellcaster cannot use this spell on himself.  
  Base Cost: 1 point per every +2 increase in Will, same to maintain 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds

  Magic Item: Wand, Staff, or Jewelry. Usable only by a Mage. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Resurrect Undead (VH) 
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  This spell allows a undead creature, regardless of age or condition, to be restored to completeness and then 
  returned to life.  
  The creature will have the personality it had in life, but it will remember its life as an undead being, and will 
  react accordingly. This could mean that the "reborn" creature will attack the mage who resurrected it or seek 
  to return to unlife!  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 500 
  Time to Cast: 2 hours 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Create Undead or Resurrection 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 10,000 points or more.  
  Return (VH) 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell must be cast on a subject with a positive HT score.  
  If, subsequently, while the spell is in effect, the subject dies, he will come back as if he had the Resurrection 
  advantage. However, this will cost the subject 25 character points if he is revived in this manner.  
  Some versions of this spell add 25 points of disadvantages (usually a Stench, Odious Personal Habits, or 
  evil mental disadvantages) rather than subtracting 25 character points.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 6, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Zombie 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 10,000 points. (b) Jewelry. Works for wearer 
  only. It will resurrect the subject once and then vanish. Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  Revenge 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell will allow the mage to inflict a single physical injury on the subject identical to an injury previously 
  inflicted on the mage by the victim, even if the mage's injury was subsequently healed or repaired.  
  For example, if the mage was previously hit in the eye for 5 points of damage and blinded by the subject, at 
  some time in the future, the mage can later use this spell to inflict an identical injury on his tormenter. Once 
  a given injury has been inflicted, it may not be inflicted again until the damage has been healed or repaired.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 1 point per 3 points of damage done.  
  Prerequisite : Wound 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Robot 
  Regular 
  
   445 
  This spell allows the caster to animate a soulless body (like one left behind when its owner is sucked into a 
  Soul Jar) or a body in a comatose state. The "robot" created by this spell will be a mindless servant with 1/2 
  the IQ of its original owner and the Slave Mentality disadvantage. Mental skills are based on the new IQ, 
  Physical skills are at -5.  
  If the original owner of the body regains consciousness or frees their soul, they immediately reclaim their 
  body (if it is still living) and the spell is automatically cancelled.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 5, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Animation 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. (b) Jewelry or Clothing. When 
  placed on an appropriate body, the Magic Item casts this spell and animates the body for as long as 
  the jewelry or clothing remains on the body. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Rot Limb 
  Regular; resisted by HT 
  Similar to the Wither Limb spell, but the affected limb drops off after 1d6 days.  
  When the limb drops off the victim must roll vs. HT to avoid having the stump become infected. Th e caster 
  must touch the subject. If the HT roll is not successful, the victim takes 1d6 points of damage their limb is 
  crippled.  
  Duration: Permanent unless magically healed.  
  Base Cost: 6 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Quick Rot 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Sacrifice 
  Special 
  This spell makes the life force released by the sacrifice of a living being available to another spell.  
  The Sacrifice must be cast first, at the moment the caster kill the sacrificed being. The seconds spell must 
  be cast immediately after, without any intervening delays. The Sacrifice counts as a spell "on" during the 
  second spell's casting. If the caster is not within one hex of the sacrificed being, apply a regular range 
  penalty to both the Sacrifice and the second spell.  
  The energy released by the sacrifice of a living being is given by HT x IQ. The GM may devise and modifiers 
  to suit his world; for example virgins and mages may be worth double. . .  
  Multiple sacrifices are possible. All mana generated can be used at any time during the sacrifices, or saved 
  up for the end. However, each sacrifice that hasn’t been “used” counts as a spell “on” when casting 
  subsequent spells.  
  Duration: Mana generated must be used within 1 hour after the last sacrifice.  
  Base Cost: None 
  Time to Cast: 1 hour.  
  Prerequisite : 6 Necromantic spells, including Steal HT 
  Magic Item: Knife. Energy Cost: 1,000 points. Mage only.  
  Sealed Skin 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell causes the skin around one of the victim's bodily orifices to seal and fuse over, replaced by 
  ordinary skin.  
  For example, the victim's eyes, nose, mouth or ears could be made to vanish. Fusing both the mouth and 
  the nose will cause the victim to suffocate in short order.  
  Particularly evil wizards use this spell to seal other orifices of the body, which has the effect of slowly killing 
  the subject (1d6-2 points of damage per day, roll vs. HT to halve).  
  This spell can be dispelled by the appropriate Cure Sense (Cure Blindness, Deafness, Anosmia) or by a 
  counterspell.  
  A positive use of this spell is to seal over wounds using the subject's own skin. This doesn't repair damage 
  to tissue underneath, but will slow or stop bleeding (+4 to HT to stop bleeding) and will prevent infection after 
  
   446 
  the wound is closed. If the wound was already infected an abscess might develop unless the wound is 
  cleaned.  
  Duration: 1 day 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite: Wound 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Sentinel 
  Regular 
  This spell is identical to the Night Watchman spell, but the ghosts become Skull Spirits and can inflict 
  damage on intruders.  
  Base Cost: Variable. 30 for a body, 45 for body part as small as a hand, 60 for a body part as small 
  as a tooth.  
  Duration: Permanent, until body or guarded object is disrupted.

  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Night Watchman, Skull Spirit.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Mage Only. Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  Shape Bone 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  Using this spell, the mage can mold bone as if it were soft clay. Bones can be bent, joined together, added 
  or altered in shape. When used on living or animated bone, the subject gets a resistance roll. Generally this 
  spell is used by necromancers to "customize" skeletons, but healers occasionally use it to quickly knit 
  broken bones together.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1 per 10 pounds of material 
  Prerequisite : Zombie 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Singing Bone  
  Enchantment 
  A singing bone is the soul of an evil person which is bound into one of the long bones of their body.  
  When used for divination spells or other spells dealing with information about death, summoned spirits, or 
  the undead, the bone will vibrate, hum or even moan in a way that aids the caster of these spells.  
  A singing bone will give +4 to any Necromantic information spell or Divination spells which use dead spirits.  
  Base Cost: 100 
  Prerequisite : Enchantment, Bind Spirit 
  Skin Death 
  Regular; resisted by HT 
  Makes the subject's skin die at an accelerated rate, causing sores, raw spots, minor damage and unsightly 
  appearance. This spell will do 1d6-2 points of damage to the subject, temporarily cancel one level of the 
  Toughness advantage, and will reduce Appearance by one level, to a minimum level of Hideous.  
  Duration: 1 minute (effects are permanent until healed)  
  Base Cost: 4 per hex of creature 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Soul Blast 
  Missile 
  This spell shoots a silvery circle of energy which removes the victim’s soul, leaving them mindless. The soul 
  can only be returned with the Resurrection spell, or some other equivalent.  
  This spell can be dodged and blocked but not parried. It can also be deflected by Force Dome, Utter Dome, 
  Missile Shield, Reverse Missiles, and Spell Shield. It has SS 13, Acc 1, Max 60.

  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Soul Separater.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 750 points.  
  Soul Separator  
  Regular; resisted by Will 
  Sucks the victim's soul from his body, leaving his body as a comatose, mindless husk.  
  If the caster has a Soul jar spell prepared then he can transfer the victim's soul to it, if not the soul wanders 
  as a powerless, homeless spirit which dies (or passes on to the afterlife) when its body dies.  
  The spirit has the victim's IQ, Will and mental skills, but 1/2 the victim's DX, HT and ST (for fatigue purposes 
  only). The spirit is Insubstantial and can't cast spells in the "real world". It can cast spells on whatever plane 
  it is banished to.  
  Duration: 1 hour.  
  Base Cost: 10, 5 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Soul Jar 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Soul Trap (VH) 
  Regular; Resisted by Will 
  Like the Soul Jar spell, but the "trap" may be prepared in advance.  
  When the subject (who may be a person or class of person specified by the caster before he begins the 
  spell) touches the soul trap, he must roll vs. Will or his soul is sucked into the item, as if he were trapped by 
  a Magic Jar. If a class of person is specified by the caster (as opposed to an individual person) the victim's 
  Will rolls are at +2.  
  The trap can be any object which is suitable as a Soul Jar. Gems and weapons are common.  
  Duration: 1 hour (effects are permanent once the trap is triggered).  
  Base Cost: 8, 4 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Soul Jar, Delay 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. (b) Any item. When the selected 
  class of victim touches the item, this item casts the spell once.  
  Speak with Dead  
  Information, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the mage to speak with the spirit of a dead person.  
  In order for the spell to work, the mage must have part of the body or an item closely associated with the 
  person he wishes to speak to. He is at -4 to skill if he just has an item linked to the subject, and he is at -3 if 
  he only has a fragment of the body. If he only has the skull of the person he is at -2 to skill and he is at -1 to 
  skill if he has only a skeleton or partial body.  
  In addition, there is a penalty for the length of time that the subject has been dead. -1 for 1 week or more, -2 
  for 1 month or more, -3 for 1 year or more, -4 for up to 5 years, -5 for 25 years, and -1 for every 25 years 
  beyond the first 25.  
  The mage may ask and receive an answer to one question per minute. The GM should also make a reaction 
  roll for the spirit modified as he sees fit. On a reaction of Poor or worse, the spirit is entitled to a Will roll to 
  resist the spell and the mage must win a contest of Will or his spell skill vs. the spirit's Will in order to receive 
  an answer to a question. Even then there is no guarantee that the spirit won't lie.  
  Spirits of the dead will only know answers to questions that they knew in life and might be just as ignorant or 
  misinformed as a living person.  
  This is also a Knowledge spell.  
  Base Cost: 3, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Divination, 3 Knowledge or Necromantic spells.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 450 points.

  Spectral Hand 
  Regular 
  Causes a ghostly, glowing hand shaped from the caster's own life force to materialize and move as the 
  caster desires.  
  This hand can move at the same speed as the caster. It is DR8, HP12. The caster can use this hand to 
  perform any action he could with his own hand. The caster can cast other spells as at range touch upon any 
  creature or item that the spectral hand is holding. If the spectral hand is destroyed, the caster immediately 
  takes 1d-2 damage.  
  The caster must concentrate to maintain control of the hand. If he stops concentrating the hand will return to 
  his side until the spell expires (or he begins to concentrate again).  
  Duration: 5 seconds 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisites: Death Vision 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Spirit Travel  
  Regular 
  This spell temporarily turns the subject into a ghost, dead spirit, or similar being, allowing them to possess 
  people, travel to the spirit world, enter the land of the dead, and so forth. 
  The subject's aura appears to be that of a dead spirit unless the user of the Aura spell scores a critical 
  success, then he realizes the true nature of the subject.  
  While in spirit form, the subject is vulnerable to all the things that any other spirit would be vulnerable to. For 
  example, a ghost in a Christian world would be vulnerable to silver, crosses, holy water, and the prayers of 
  the faithful.  
  Damage taken while in spirit form is kept when the character turns back to flesh. If the character is killed 
  while in spirit form, he is permanently dead, as if his ghost had been destroyed.  
  Objects worn or held by the subject transform into the spirit form, if appropriate. Carried items like 
  backpacks are left behind.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 7, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Summon Spirit 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 250 points. Mage only.  
  Steal Dexterity 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to temporarily steal the subject's dexterity to enhance his own.  
  For every 3 points of DX stolen from the victim, the caster's DX is improved by 1 point. Secondary attributes 
  and physical skills based on DX improve as well. The subject either be willing or totally helpless (i.e. bound 
  or unconscious).  
  The caster must touch the subject. This works on living, intelligent subjects only! The spell stops when the 
  caster's DX is 50% above normal, when he decides to stop, or when the victim's DX is reduced to zero.  
  DX stolen by this spell "evaporates" at the rate of 1 point per turn until DX has returned to the caster's 
  normal level. Likewise, DX stolen by this spell returns at the rate of 1 point per minute.  
  Duration: See Above.  
  Base Cost: None for the Caster! For every 3 points of DX taken from the subject, the caster gains 1 
  point of DX, up to 150% his normal DX score.  
  Prerequisite : Steal Strength 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Steal Intelligence 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to temporarily steal the subject's intelligence to enhance his own. For every 3 
  points of IQ stolen from the victim, the caster's IQ is improved by 1 point. Secondary attributes and 
  "mundane" skills based on IQ improve as well, but spells and psionic skills do not.  
  
   449 
  The subject either be willing or totally helpless (i.e. bound or unconscious). The caster must touch the 
  subject. This works on living, intelligent subjects only! The spell stops when the caster's IQ is 50% above 
  normal, when he decides to stop, or when the victim's IQ is reduced to zero.  
  IQ stolen by this spell "evaporates" at the rate of 1 point per turn until IQ has returned to the caster's normal 
  level. Likewise, IQ stolen by this spell returns at the rate of 1 point per minute.  
  Duration: See Above.  
  Base Cost: None for the Caster! Fore every 3 points of IQ taken from the subject, the caster gains 1 
  point of IQ, up to 150% his normal IQ score.  
  Prerequisite : Steal Health 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Summon Undead 
  Special 
  Allows the mage to summon any sort of undead creature that he is familiar with to his location. If the GM 
  rules that the sort of undead creature that the mage wants is immediately at hand, use the Long Distance 
  modifiers to adjust the caster's skill with this spell.  
  If successfully summoned, the undead will proceed towards the caster's location as fast as is safely 
  possible. If the spell expires before they get to the caster, they are dismissed and go back where they came 
  from, so the mage would be wise to continue the spell if he is trying to summon very rare or slow-moving 
  undead.  
  Once the undead reach the caster's location, they must roll for reaction. On a neutral or better reaction they 
  will listen to what the mage has to say. On a poor reaction or worse, they will leave immediately or possibly 
  even attack. Mindless undead can be commanded to service by means of the Take Zombie spell unless 
  they are under the direct control of another mage. Free-willed undead must be bargained with or 
  commanded to service with the Lesser Geas or Command Undead spell.  
  Undead commanded to service will serve until the expiration of the Summon Undead spell, one hour, or until 
  their task is completed whichever is less. After they are freed, they will leave, attack, or stay near the caster 
  as their nature takes them.  
  A caster can specify a given type of undead and can exclude known undead of that type by saying so before 
  the begins the spell. The mage can also attempt to summon a specific undead creature. This spell is at -4 if 
  the mage doesn't know the full name of the being he wishes to summon.  
  Duration: 1 hour (creatures commanded to service stay until the spell ends, their task is complete, 
  or one hour, whichever is less.)  
  Base Cost: 6, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Summon Spirit 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Take Zombie 
  Regular; resisted by Spell 
  Allows the mage to take over zombies, skeletons, or mummies animated by another caster. If the mage who 
  created the zombies  is present and opposes the take-over, roll a contest of skill between the interloper's 
  Take Zombie skill and the Creator's Zombie skill.  
  A zombie taken over by this spell will be loyal to its new owner.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 5 per zombie, can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Zombie 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Temporary Aging 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  Temporarily ages the subject by 5 years per energy point put into the spell.  
  This spell cannot be used to kill the subject outright, but it can force them to make Aging rolls which will 
  temporarily lower their attributes and skills. (As a quick guideline, assume that a character with HT 10 will 
  lose 2 points from one or more different attributes for every 5 years over 50 years of age.)  
  
   450 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 point per 5 years of age, same to maintain.

  Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Always on. Some versions can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 100 
  times the Base Cost to cast the spell.  
  Touch of Decay (VH)  
  Resisted by HT 
  This spell turns a living creature into an undead creature which eventually decays to become a mindless 
  zombie.  
  Touch of Decay requires the caster to touch the subject - armor and clothing do not protect. The subject gets 
  two chances to escape the spell effects. The first is a quick contest between the mage's skill with the spell 
  and the subjects HT. If the subject wins, then they come to no harm. If the subject loses, they must roll again 
  against their HT, at -1 for each 3 levels over 10 at which the mage knows the spell.  
  If the subject succeeds, they are physically Stunned for 1d6 minutes. If the subject fails, they are stunned for 
  1d6 minutes and they become undead, intelligent zombie.  
  Initially, the victim will appear normal, except that physical examination will reveal a lack of pulse and the 
  cessation of all bodily functions. Decay progresses normally except that rigor mortis never sets in. In cold 
  temperatures, the body will keep better, but the victim must roll vs. HT every hour in freezing temperatures 
  in order to avoid freezing into a motionless “corpsicle”. In hot temperatures, the victim will quickly become 
  flyblown.  
  Initially, being dead will have many advantages. The victim is immune to extremes of heat and cold, they Do 
  Not Breathe, Do Not Eat or Drink, have High Pain Threshold, and have No Vitals, and take no extra Damage 
  from Cutting or Impaling weapons. They also have No Blood. On the negative side they have the Unliving 
  disadvantage (they die when they go below 0 HP) and they quickly deteriorate to Horrifying appearance with 
  a Disgusting Smell.  
  In addition, the victim must make a HT check every day (at a penalty in high temperatures) to avoid losing 
  point of IQ, and a level of Appearance as the body and brain deteriorate. Roll separately for each. Reverse 
  Decay or Preservation spells can halt or reverse this process, but levels of IQ lost due to decay are 
  permanently gone. Without magical aid, the subject will eventually rot to a mindless corpse. When IQ 
  reaches 0, the victim becomes a normal zombie which can be commanded with the Command Zombie spell.  
  Base Cost: 10.  
  Duration: Permanent.  
  Time to Cast: 4 Seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Magery, Death Touch, Zombie, Reverse Putrefaction.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 750 points.  
  Transfer Wound 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the mage to transfer a wound from one part of the victim’s body to another part. The 
  amount and type of damage done is unchanged, only its location is altered.  
  While this spell can be used to cripple a limb (or other body part) it can’t be used to transfer a wound so that 
  it severs or destroys a body part. Specifically, it is impossible to transfer a wound to the brain, vitals, eyes, 
  nose, ears, or any other internal organ.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 3 points, can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Wounding 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  True Name  
  Information 
  
   451 
  Allows the caster to know the true name of a demon, spirit, or other creature that has a secret, magical 
  name. This spell will give the caster +2 to his rolls to Summon or control that creature. The caster can only 
  know the true name of creatures he can summon.  
  Base Cost: 2 per hex of creature 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Summon Demon and/or Planar Summons.  
  Turn Extra-Planar Creature 
  Regular; resisted by IQ 
  Causes a single extra-planar creature to retreat from the caster.  
  On every turn that the spell is maintained, the subject extra-planar creature may attempt to resist it; if it fails, 
  it must move away from the caster at its current maximum Move rate. (If somehow cornered, it can turn and 
  use and All-Out Defense.) 
  If it succeeds, it can remain stationary (or move away slowly) without problems; if it attempts to move 
  toward, cast spells at, or in any way attack the caster, it must make a Will roll to do so. Whether or not it 
  succeeds, it will then lose 1d6-2 ST (as Fatigue), and any die rolls it makes are at -2.  
  The caster must have line of sight; his skill level with the spell is the maximum radius in hexes. Extra-planar 
  creature that are farther away are still subject to the restrictions on attacking him.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast; 2 to maintain. For every +1 paid to cast (half the casting roll to maintain), 
  reduce the extra-planar creature's resistance and Will rolls by 1.  
  Prerequisite : Planar Summons 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Undead Form 
  Regular 
  Temporarily turns the mage into an undead creature of his choice.  
  Only outward appearance is changed - mental advantages, personality, and most disadvantages and skills 
  are generally unaffected. It is up to the GM to determine what skills, advantages, and disadvantages transfer 
  to the new form.  
  The subject gains all the disadvantages and inherent physical advantages of a given type of undead. If 
  undead have optional special powers (like Vampires in GURPS: Vampire The Masquerade or Bloodtypes), 
  the subject doesn't get these powers unless they are possessed by all vampires in the campaign world.  
  In most cases, the mage’s personality is unaffected, but the GM might rule that the personality of an undead 
  creature is a byproduct of its form, and require the character to make a Will check every 10 minutes he is in 
  the undead form.  
  If he fails the Will check Will is reduced by 1 to resist future checks until effective Will reaches 1. At that point 
  the subject ceases to be even remotely human and takes on the personality of that type of undead creature.  
  Each undead form is a different spell.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: Variable. Zombie or skeleton: 5 points. Skull Spirit: 7 points. Ghost, Vampire or similar 
  spirit: 10 points. Same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Zombie, 5 other Necromantic spells.  
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 50 times the Base Cost to cast the spell.

  removed. Energy Cost: 25 times the Base Cost to cast the spell.  
  Undead Form Other  
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Temporarily turns a person into an undead creature of the mage’s choice. In other respects this spell is 
  exactly like the Undead Form spell.  
  Each variant of this spell is a different spell.

  removed. Energy Cost: 25 times the Base Cost to cast the spell.  
  Undeath 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This spell allows the subject to rise after death as a zombie.  
  Unlike the Zombie spell, it can be cast on a living subject, but it only takes effect once the subject dies. If the 
  victim dies due to violence (sacrifice, combat, murder) their bodies reanimate 3d6 rounds after they die. 
  Otherwise, their bodies reanimate when they are buried or just before they are to be cremated (or what have 
  you) if they are to be disposed of in some other way.

  Vampiric Regeneration 
  Regular 
  When this spell is cast on a melee weapon, the user of the weapon gets back as many hit points as he did 
  with the weapon strike, after the weapon penetrated any armor the victim was wearing, but before damage 
  was modified for hit location or weapon type. So, for example, if you did 5 points impaling damage, and your 
  foe was wearing armor with DR2, then you’d regenerate (5-2 = ) 3 points of damage, even though the 
  adjusted damage of the weapon would be 6 points (3 points of damage doubled for impaling).  
  This spell may be cast on an unarmed fighter’s fists or feet, but not both, unless this spell is cast twice. 
  When cast on fists or feet, the spell does damage based on a single strike, or closely linked series of strikes 
  with the same body part (like a grapple and arm lock combination, or damage from a turn of choking 
  someone).  
  Note that this spell is “blind” towards its victims and can’t be turned on or off. If you accidently strike a friend 
  with this spell, you will gain HT from him. Likewise, if you accidently strike yourself, your drain HT from 
  yourself, but you get it back (at least partially) as regeneration!  
  This spell will not work on missile weapons or any other weapon which must leave the user’s hand in order 
  to do its damage. If the GM feels that this spell is abused, he can also rule that it will not work with powered 
  or magically enhanced weapons, such as vibroblades, or that the amount of damage that is “sucked” from 
  the victim is reduced.

  Plant Spells 
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Magic 
  Seek Plant - The mage can also seek a class of plants (i.e. food plants, trees, herbs, etc.)  
  Identify Plant - If this spell is used, the mage will know the useful parts of a plant. Herbalism, Survival, or 
  Poisons is required to properly utilize the plant depending on its type.  
  Heal Plant - Dead plants can be revived for double cost.  
  Shape Plant - This spell makes plant material become soft in the subject's hands (sort of like the effects of 
  the Reshape spell). This allows the subject to "dig" through wood, removing 1 HP or 1 DR of material per 
  turn.  
  Plant Growth - For three times normal cost a plant can be aged by a year.  
  Bless Plants - For double cost the yield can be tripled. For triple costs the yield can be quadrupled. Plants 
  also get +4 to HT to resist the effects of natural diseases and pests.  
  Create Plant - The mage can specify any type of plant that he is personally familiar with. Rare or valuable 
  plants cost double to create. All plants created are sprouts or seedlings, use Plant Growth to increase the 
  size of the plant.  
  Tangle Growth - The plants can be made to grow sharp thorns, spines and burrs for double cost. These do 
  1d6-2 points of damage per minute to anyone who attempts to move through the area. Damage is doubled if 
  the victims struggle or attempt to run. Damage is halved if the subject is wearing heavy clothing and/or 
  moves at a rate of 1 hex per turn through the tangled area.  
  Hide Path - Each multiple of cost allows the tracks of another 5 people on foot or an extra horseman to be 
  hidden. Costs to mask the trail of larger creatures are based on the number of hexes the creature takes up. 
  For example, a giant who took up 5 hexes would require two castings (or a double strength single casting) of 
  this spell to hide. A 6 foot x 15 foot off-road vehicle or wagon would take up 10 hexes and would require 4 
  castings (or a single quadruple strength casting) to become untrackable. The GM can rule that large but 
  relatively stealthy creatures (like tigers or bears) require less effort to hide and that especially clumsy or 
  destructive creatures (bulldozers, fire elementals) require more effort to hide. Most "natural" forest creatures 
  are good at hiding their tracks, so they cost half the normal cost to hide. Likewise, a group of trained 
  woodsmen (Tracking 12+) who are trying to cover their tracks by natural means only costs half.  
  Plant Sense  - This spell can also be used to determine the chemical make-up and health of plants. A high-
  tech mage with the Botany, Agronomy, or Gardening skill can use this spell as a substitute for any number 
  of scientific tests to determine the condition of a given plant.  
  Animate Plant - If the plant has any special attacks (spines, thorns, thrown fruit), poison) it costs double to 
  animate. A Man-sized tree has ST 6+1d6, IQ: 0, DX 6+1d6, HT 3+ 2d6, and does Swing/Crushing damage 
  equal to a club with its branches. Thin branches and vines do damage equal to a baton but can be used to 
  grapple and choke.  
  Plant Form - For an extra point all the mage's possessions can be incorporated into his tree form. For 
  another point the mage is also immune to losing IQ from the spell.  
  Impaling and crushing attacks do 1/10 normal damage. Cutting attacks do 1/2 damage. Cold, electricity and 
  most other attacks do normal damage. A person in plant form is immune to injected poisons or poison 
  gasses which affect the respiratory system. They take 1/4 damage from caustic gasses. Fire does double 
  damage. The mage can "sleep" and regain Fatigue while in tree form, regaining 1 point of Fatigue per hour. 
  He can also feed on soil and sunlight getting the equivalent of 1 meal for every 3 hours he spends "eating".  
  Changes to Spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Plant Vision - For double cost magical plants or wood can also be made transparent.  
  Pollen Cloud - The pollen is created from whatever plants are handy. If there are no plants then the local 
  fungi and molds produce a spore cloud instead. Characters with Asthma or Allergies must roll vs. HT to 
  avoid being afflicted by their condition.  
  Rain of Nuts - If there are no nuts small branches, thorns, etc. are thrown instead. Bucklers and small 
  shields reduce base damage by 1 point.  
  
   458 
  Blight - Plants afflicted by Blight have -5 to HT rolls to resist natural disease and parasites.  
  Rejuvenate Plant - Objects which are held by someone or which have been painted or finished get a 
  resistance roll. In the former case the roll is vs. the owner's IQ. In the second case, the resistance roll is vs. 
  the Craft skill of the person who made the item. The Deadwood spell (q.v.) automatically blocks this spell. 
  Fine wooden objects (like finished doors, fine furniture or bows) are severely damaged by this spell. Door 
  and drawers might grow into the doorframe or the rest of the furniture or they might warp open. Bows, 
  arrows, and other missile weapons are reduced by one level of quality for each casting of this spell. Other 
  wooden weapons are not affected, though they look peculiar 
  False Tracks - This spell also fools scent tracking since the plants will alter their smell to cover the trail. It 
  will not affect magical tracking.  
  Conceal - Each casting of this spell gives the mage +6 to Camouflage skill (even if he is working from his 
  default skill).  
  Walk Through Plant - This spell also fools scent tracking since the plants will alter their smell to cover the 
  trail. It will not affect magical tracking.  
  Plant Speech - The older and more impressive the plant the more "Intelligence" it has for purposes of this 
  spell. Most plants have IQ 1. Older plants get +1 to effective IQ for every 25 years of age (or portion thereof). 
  This means that most small plants will have an IQ of 1 or 2, but large trees can be very wise indeed!

  Back to Nature  
  Area, special resistance 
  This spell turns man-made objects into their nearest natural equivalent – buildings turn into rock formations 
  or groves of trees, roads turn into meadows, and man-made items turn to small rocks or shrubbery. Other 
  man-made features are converted as the GM sees fit. The newly created vegetation will be identical to the 
  natural vegetation found in the area.  
  Objects to be transformed get a Resistance Roll. Flimsy, transient, or overgrown items have “HT” of 8-9 
  “Normal” items have HT 10-12, and extremely solid, well-built, or ancient structures have HT13+.  
  Note that if a building is to be affected by this spell, the whole building must be affected, not just part of it.

  Ball of Thorns  
  Missile 
  This spell allows the caster to create and throw a smooth, dark sphere of wood which will burst into 
  hundreds of sharp thorns when it hits something solid. The missile has SS 12, Acc +1, and is limited in 
  range by the caster's ST. The missile weighs about 1 pound, so it can be thrown ST x 6 hexes. When the  
  ball hits a solid surface it will burst for 1d6 points of cutting damage. Anyone who is in contact with the 
  sphere when it bursts takes double damage. Anyone within 1 hex of the burst takes 1d6-3 points of cutting 
  damage.  
  
   459 
  Even if the ball doesn't hit anything solid, it will burst 1 to 5 seconds after being thrown, as specified by the 
  caster when the spell is cast. This feature can be used to make the ball burst in air or detonate after a 
  certain amount of time.

  Containers or shields can be created by means of this spell, but their quality is limited by the quality of the 
  materials the mage has to work with. Wicker shields have PD 2, DR 4, and 4 HP and 2 lbs. per size (so a

  Well-made woven baskets can be made waterproof.

  things to return to the blighted area. Any mobile, plant-based creature in the area of effect when the spell is 
  cast takes 1d6 points of damage and must make a Will roll each minute to stay in the blasted area. Plants 
  and microorganisms are killed outright, though large, ancient, or intelligent trees get a HT roll each day to 
  survive.  
  The earth in the area is Poisoned as per the Poisoned Earth spell, and nothing will grow in the soil. The only 
  way in which the damage done by this spell can be reversed is by means of the Purify Earth spell.

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.

  damage.  
  
   460 
  At the caster's option, the poison can be made into paralysis poison instead. Paralysis poison does 1d6-1 
  points of damage and the subject must roll vs. HT or fall to the ground with all but their involuntary muscles 
  paralyzed. Paralysis lasts for 2d6 minutes. At the end of this time, the subject can roll vs. HT each minute in

   461 
  The burrs will attach themselves to fur, hair or clothing of any creature who passes through the affected 
  areas and are impossible to remove short of cutting or burning them off or magic (Dispel Magic, Remove 
  Curse, or Shape Plant are all effective at removing Burrs).  
  Each hour that the burrs remain attached they will become increasingly scratchy, causing a -1 IQ and Will 
  per hour to any task which requires patience or concentration. Animals will become increasingly bad 
  tempered because of the burrs: -1 to all reactions and handling rolls per hour of suffering. The burrs will drop 
  off after 6 hours, if the victim's can wait that long.

  Carnivorous Plant 
  Regular 
  This spell turns a bush or tree at least 6' tall into a ravenous, carnivorous monster.  
  A carnivorous plant will still be sessile, but can move freely in other ways. DX will be equal to the energy put 
  into the spell. HT and Hit Points will be equal to double the energy put into the spell and IQ will be equal to 
  1/2 the energy put into the spell.  
  For every 10 hit points the plant has, it will have one attack which will do 1d6 points of damage. This can 
  either be a vine which will grapple and constrict for 1d6 damage and which has a reach of 3 hexes, or a 
  "mouth" which looks like a giant Venus fly trap which can bite for 1d6 Cutting damage. Two or more 
  separate attacks can be combined into one larger attack (so a vine could constrict for 2d6 and would have a 
  reach of 6 hexes if two attacks were combined into one). However, the caster must specify which attacks he 
  is combining when he casts the spell.  
  PD and DR are normal for that sort of plant. Certain plants might have special abilities either magicked into 
  them by the caster or inherent to them.

  raincoat) with at least 1 DR will protect against damage indefinitely, but the subject must be careful when 
  removing these garments lest he get the toxic oil on his.

  Mossback  
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell covers the subject’s body with living, growing moss and fungus which grows from his skin and 
  which replaces his hair.  
  This gives the subject +4 to Camouflage rolls and gives -4 to attempts to track the subject by scent (since he 
  smells different), but makes the recipient of the spell look very peculiar indeed - Appearance is reduced by 
  one level down to a minimum of Hi deous. It also gives the subject -1 to all resistance rolls to avoid the 
  effects of fire or flames.  
  Since the growth emerges directly from the victim’s skin, attempts to tear the moss loose do 1 point of 
  damage per handful of moss removed. The GM must determine other effects.  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain.

  When the mage casts this spell, he can turn himself into a dryad or similar type of nature spirit.  
  Only outward appearance is changed - mental advantages, personality, and most disadvantages and skills 
  are generally unaffected. It is up to the GM to determine what skills, advantages, and disadvantages transfer 
  to the new form.  
  The subject gains all the disadvantages and inherent physical advantages of a given type of natural spirit. If 
  nature spirits have optional special powers, the subject doesn't get these powers unless they are possessed 
  by all vampires in the campaign world.  
  In most cases, the mage’s personality is unaffected, but the GM might rule that the personality of an nature 
  spirit is a byproduct of its form, and require the character to make a Will check every 10 minutes he is in the 
  spirit form.  
  If he fails the Will check Will is reduced by 1 to resist future checks until effective Will reaches 1. At that point 
  the subject ceases to be even remotely human and takes on the personality of that type of spirit.  
  Each spirit form is a different spell.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 10 to 15 points depending on the power of the spirit form. A mage can permanently turn 
  himself into a nature spirit for 25 times the Base Cost of the spell.

  Summon Nature Spirit  
  Special 
  Calls a nature spirit or other creature closely linked with enchanted forests like a nymph, neriad, ent or 
  unicorn.  
  The ritual to summon each creature is a different spell. If the caster knows the name of a specific nature 
  spirit, he can summon it at +4 to skill.  
  Successfully cast, this spell attracts a nature spirit to the caster. It does not, however, give the caster any 
  sort of power over the nature spirit - spirits must be bribed or negotiated with, rather than coerced. Normally, 
  mages do this by offering to perform a service for the spirit in exchange for the spirit's aid. Nature priests can 
  sometimes motivate spirits just by their status and reputation.  
  Because a spirit must travel to the caster at its normal move or might appear in invisible form, the success of 
  the Summoning may not be immediately apparent. The summoner must assume that his spell was 
  successful, unless he is somehow absolutely certain it has not succeeded!  
  Duration: Entirely up to the spirit. It might quickly become bored and leave or it might remain for 
  hours or even days.  
  Base Cost: Equal to the spirit's ST + IQ. If the caster is not certain what spirit will be summoned, he 
  will not know precisely how much energy will be used in casting the spell. It is possible that he will 
  knock himself out by inadvertently summoning too great a spirit. When all the caster's ST is gone, if 
  more energy is required, the spell fails and the caster remains unconscious for as many hours as he 
  lacked energy points to summon the creature.  
  Time to Cast: 5 minutes 
  Prerequisites: Magery, 10 Plant Spells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Sustain Plant 
  Regular 
  This spell will automatically feed and water a plant over a period of days. The correct amount of food and 
  water is magically administered each day. Though clever mages might figure out a use for this spell on an 
  adventure, it is mostly used by absent-minded mages who want to keep their house plants alive.  
  Base Cost: 1 per week per hex of plant, same to maintain.  
  Duration: Variable 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Revive Plant 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 100 points. (b) Pot or other container. It will 
  automatically cast this spell on any plant planted in it. Energy Cost: 50 points.  
  Take Root 
  Regular. Resisted by ST-2 
  
   477 
  Although the caster may cast this spell on himself, it is more common to use it against a foe. When the spell 
  is cast the subject’s feet transform into roots which rapidly burrow into the ground holding the subject in 
  place. The subject must roll vs. ST-2 to pull his feet free and even if he frees himself he still has a maximum 
  Move of 1 for the Duration of the spell. If the victim can’t pull himself out, he can attempt to dig himself out. 
  This takes 10 minutes in soft soil if the subject uses his hands. The victim can’t use a shovel due to the odd 
  angles. If he has a trowel or small shovel, time to dig out is halved.  
  The more energy put into the spell, the more extensive the roots. For each doubling of cost the penalty to ST 
  is doubled as is the time required to dig out. For 2 points extra, the mage can turn the subject’s hands into 
  branches, preventing him from digging out and giving him the No Fine Manipulators disadvantage. The 
  caster cannot effect hands without effecting feet. If the mage desires, the subject will be able to derive 
  nutrition from the soil. The victim can get energy equivalent to a meal in about 2 hours if the provides 
  nourishment and he takes root in normal soil. Each doubling of cost halves the time needed to get a meal.  
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain. Each doubling of cost doubles the ST penalty to the Resistance 
  roll. For 2 points extra, the mage can turn the subject’s hands to branches in addition to rooting his 
  feet.  
  Duration: 1 Hour.  
  Time to Cast: 3 Seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Alter Body, Plant Form Other.  
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points. (b) Clothing or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Tangle Vines 
  Area, resisted by DX  
  This spell creates an area of vines which will seek out and entangle subjects specified by the mage within 
  the area of effect. The vines have ST 12, DX 12, 10 Hit Points and Move 5. They take double damage from 
  fire or cold attacks but are immune to impaling and crushing damage.  
  When they are called into being they will immediately seek to grapple and entangle anyone specified by the 
  mage, attacking at DX. Their attack can be avoided if the subject rolls under his DX. If a victim is attacked by 
  multiple vines he is at -2 to his DX roll for each additional vine.  
  By preference vines will always attempt to entangle the legs (-2 to hit), but the caster can specify attacks to 
  other parts of the body. The vines will only immobilize, they cannot squeeze hard enough to do damage.  
  Base Cost: 3, same to maintain. Each doubling of cost doubles the ST of the vines.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Shape Plant 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Thorny Rope 
  Regular 
  In order to cast this spell the mage must have a length of rope, wooden weapon or stout stick. When he 
  casts the spell, the stick or rope grows sharp thorns and becomes rubbery and flexible. The mage then 
  throws the rope at the target (it has SS 14, Acc 0, 1/2D n/a, Max 20). If it hits, it will quickly wrap itself 
  around the target’s body, stretching and twisting to completely bind him. Treat this as a separate Grappling 
  attack with the rope having ST 15, DX 12 and 10 Hit Points.  
  The rope will continue to attack the victim for the Duration of the spell, until it is destroyed, or until the victim 
  wins 3 contests of skill in a row (or one contest with a Critical Success). The rope can be attacked with fire, 
  energy, or by cutting weapons. Other types of attacks have no effect.  
  If the rope wins the initial Grappling attack, on the next turn it will attempt to Pin the subject. Pinned subjects 
  may roll a contest of ST each turn in order to escape, but they take 1 point of damage from each escape 
  attempt. If they critically fail their roll they take 1d6 points of cutting damage. If they roll a critical success 
  they escape without taking damage. If they lay motionless they will not be harmed. Armor does not protect 
  unless it is completely sealed.  
  When the spell ends or the rope is destroyed it will vanish or revert to its original form, as the mage wishes. 
  If the rope was destroyed, the item used to make the rope is also destroyed and will vanish.

  impaired in any way.  
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain

  Regular 
  Subject's tracks become those of another animal, specified by the caster.  
  This affects not only footprints, but scent and other traces of passage, such as broken branches. It does not 
  make the subject harder to track, but will fool most trackers into thinking they are following the wrong trail. 
  Can also be used to lure hunters and their dogs.  
  This is also a Protection & Warning spell.

  Regular

  Tree Door 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to enter a tree at least 3' in diameter and travel by "teleporting" to trees of a 
  similar size which are within at least a mile of the tree he is teleporting from. When the mage reaches his 
  destination, he exits the final tree he teleported into and the spell ends.  
  The mage will always know the location of the next suitable tree along his route of travel, so this spell 
  effectively allows the mage to move instantly between locations in an old-growth forest. In other areas, the 
  mage might be limited in how far he can travel. The spell is useless in places where there are no trees (like 
  cities, deserts, plains, water, or tundra) and will be much less effective where there aren't closely spaced 
  stands of large trees, like in young forests, swamps, farmland, or parks.  
  Unless the GM has previously decided that there is a "chain" of suitable trees between two locations, roll 
  2d6 and multiply the result by 10%. This is the percent of the distance that the mage can travel between his 
  starting location and the point to which he wishes to journey. Any percentage equal to or above 100% 
  means that the mage has discovered a link between his origin point and his destination and the spell works 
  normally. Otherwise, the mage can only use this spell to travel part of the way. If the GM rules that suitable 
  trees are especially sparse or thick, he can modify this die roll as he sees fit. Foes can magically block a tree 
  from being used for transport by making it a No Mana hex.  
  Note that the restrictions on the diameter of the tree are to insure that the mage and his possessions are 
  entirely inside the tree when he makes a "jump". Body parts or objects which stick out of the tree will be left 
  
   479 
  behind when the mage transports himself to a new tree. (A "teleport failure" destroys the exposed object or 
  does 2d6 points of damage and amputates a limb.) Skinny mages can risk using smaller trees (+1 to 
  percentage rolls), Fat mages must use thicker trees (-2 to percentage rolls). Creatures larger than one hex 
  in size generally can't use this spell, unless the GM decides that sequoia- sized trees are a common feature 
  of his campaign world!  
  Duration: Nearly Instantaneous.  
  Base Cost: 3 per 100 miles of travel 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Walk Through Wood, Forest Knowledge, 10 Plant spells 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Tree Tell  
  Information 
  This spell allows a caster to "talk" with a tree, allowing him to "see" what events happened within 10 hexes 
  of it (or under its branches for a large tree) during its lifetime.  
  The mage can start his "vision" at any point in the tree's life and he can "fast forward" through dull periods of 
  the tree's history at a rate of up to 1 year per second, but events which the mage wishes to "see" must be 
  viewed at the rate they happened. The mage can turn his "field of view" 360 degrees, but he can't change is 
  "view" from the location of the tree when he is observing an event. Events viewed will be seen with the same 
  visibility conditions that were present at the time they happened and the mage can't make them clearer with 
  magic spells which improve visibility (since he is seeing through the tree's "eyes"). This means that events 
  which took place in the dark will be invisible to the mage, even if he has Dark Vision!  
  The mage will "know" what time the scene he is viewing occurred once he views it, however, unless he 
  knows the exact date and time that an event occurred, he must spend some time searching for it in the tree's 
  "memory". A tree's "memory" can only be "scrolled" in one direction (either forward or backward, not both) so 
  if the mage starts his search too late or too soon, he will miss the event he is looking for entirely.  
  Likewise, if the caster "scrolls" through the tree's history too quickly, he might miss the event he was looking 
  for. The mage must roll vs. IQ to find a specific event he is looking for, at a - 2 if he doesn't know the day, -4 
  if he doesn't know the month, and -8 if he doesn't know the year. On a failed roll the mage misses the event 
  he is looking for while he "fast forwards" and spends 1d6 minutes searching fruitlessly before he gives up. 
  The mage can subtract -1 from the penalty for every doubling of the time he spends searching. This, of 
  course, increases the energy cost of the spell.  
  (GM's are encouraged to think of the tree's "life story" as being a very long "video tape" which can only be 
  fast forwarded or rewound. GM's should also remember that 99.99% of the average tree's life is very dull. 
  Characters who insist on viewing lots of a tree's life in "real time" will have to make at least one Will roll to 
  keep concentrating on their search.)  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 4, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Speak With Plants 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 300 points.  
  Tree Tomb  
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  When this spell is cast, the victim and everything he carries is put in stasis and is imbedded in the heart of 
  the nearest tree of 3' or more diameter.  
  The subject is released when tree dies or when the spell is cancelled by the mage. This spell can only be 
  cast if there is a tree at least 3' in diameter within 10 hexes of the subject.  
  The caster can't cast this spell on himself, unless he wants to be permanently trapped inside a tree. To 
  temporarily hide inside a tree, see the Walk Through Wood spell.  
  Duration: Permanent (until cancelled)  
  Base Cost: 10 per hex of creature. The entire creature must be affected in order for the spell to 
  work and the "host" tree must be large enough to completely "hold" the victim. 6 per hex of creature 
  to reverse.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Shape Wood 
  
   480 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Treehouse  
  Area 
  This spell temporarily turns a tree at least 3' in diameter (or a large area of very thick foliage, like a briar 
  patch) into a shelter for one or more persons. The treehouse area is accessible by a hidden door (Vision, 
  Tracking, or Holdout -8 to spot) in the tree which opens on to a ladder which runs up the inside of the tree. 
  Once the ladder reaches the canopy of the tree, the ladder ends and the "floor" of the treehouse begins. The 
  floor and walls of the treehouse are made from the trunk and limbs of the tree and tightly woven limbs. The 
  roof is made of limbs and leaves.  
  The smallest treehouse occupies an area about 9' in diameter and will support up to 500 lbs. of weight per 
  hex. Additional space and weight carrying capacity can be added by increasing the energy spent. The mage 
  can also specify windows, doors and balconies for the treehouse as he sees fit. Balconies count against the 
  total space the treehouse occupies and can't be made weatherproof. They give not cover against attacks 
  and are only guarded by an open waist-high railing. Windows and doors consist of "shutters" made of 
  flexible limbs and leaves. They can be closed to keep out the weather, but only give PD 1, DR 1 to anyone 
  sheltering behind them. One door or window can be added to the treehouse per 5' of wall.  
  This structure will offer shelter from wind and wet for all those inside it. The treehouse has PD 1, DR 2 
  against attacks directed through the walls. Since the treehouse is a part of the living tree, attacks which 
  damage the tree also damage the treehouse. Also, if the tree is knocked or cut down, the treehouse will fall 
  and anyone inside it will take normal falling damage equal to the distance they fell.  
  During summer a treehouse is at -8 to be seen from above or below, -4 to be seen from the same level. In 
  late fall, winter or early spring these penalties are halved unless the treehouse is in an evergreen tree.  
  The mage can make the door to the treehouse visible to anyone who knows the password to make it visible.  
  If the mage makes the "treehouse" in an area of thick foliage on the ground, he can create a waterproof, 
  wind-proof "hut" for far less energy than he could make a treehouse. In this case, the door to the shelter 
  opens directly into the hut, not onto a hidden ladder.  
  Duration: 1 day 
  Base Cost: 5 (minimum 2 hexes), plus 1 point per or 250 lbs. of weight per hex. A hut built on the 
  ground costs 3 per hex. (minimum 2 hexes), half to maintain. A treehouse can be made permanent 
  for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 10 minutes 
  Prerequisite: Shape Wood, Plant Growth 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Waken Tree 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to temporarily give a tree a human-level IQ and limited mobility. A Wakened Tree 
  can move its limbs slowly, and it can move its roots to trip those passing by (roll vs. DX or fall). It can also 
  drop fruits, twigs, leaves, blossoms and dead branches, creating the same effect as the Rain of Nuts spell in 
  the hexes immediately beneath its boughs. The tree will not be able to use its limbs as weapons, though it 
  can attempt to drop dead limbs on those below it, just as if the mage had cast the Deadfall spell. The tree 
  cannot move normally, but this spell will allow it to slowly move itself by up to 10 feet per hour.  
  The improved IQ allows the tree to become much more aware of its surroundings, making it more useful if 
  the Plant Speech spell is cast on it (it cannot speak normally). Its IQ also allows it to get Resistance Rolls vs. 
  some spells.  
  Unfortunately, while this spell gives the tree intelligence and limited mobility, it does not command it to 
  service. While the tree is likely to be grateful to the mage for “awakening” it (+4 to reaction rolls) it is a free-
  willed individual with its own priorities. Unless the tree has a reason to be favorably disposed towards the 
  mage it will not serve him. In other circumstances it will only defend itself and its home against those who 
  threaten it. Trees have little desire to become involved in human affairs.  
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Duration: 12 hours 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Plant Speech, Animate Plant 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  
   481 
  Walk Through Wood 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the subject to pass through wood and plants as if they were air. With this spell the subject 
  could walk through a wooden wall of a building or hide inside a tree. This spell doesn't open a door so others 
  can follow. It also doesn't reveal what is on the other side.  
  In other respects this spell is like the Walk Through Earth spell, but it only works for wood and 
  plants. As a side effect, this spell makes the subject Insubstantial to plants and plant -based 
  creatures and weapons made entirely of wood. The subject is also invulnerable to the effects of 
  Burrs, Itchy Plant, and Poisonous Plant for the Duration of the spell.  
  Duration: 1 second 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Shape Plant 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Wall of Grass 
  Area 
  Creates one or more hexes of very tall, thick grass like elephant grass or cat-tails.  
  The grass blocks visibility through the hex, reduces Move by -1, and interferes with missile fire (-1 to hit for 
  each hex of grass the missile passes through on the way to its target.)  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1, 1/2 to maintain. This spell can be made permanent for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Create Plant 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewel ry. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Wood Shriek 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  Any wooden weapon (or partially wooden weapon) not specified by the mage when the spell is cast will emit 
  an ear-piercing shriek whenever it gets within 10 hexes of the mage or 1 second before it is used against the 
  mage, regardless of distance. This prevents the mage from being surprised by archers or assassins bearing 
  wooden weapons. 
  This is also a Protection and Warning spell.  
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Duration: 30 minutes 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Forest Warning 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points. (b) Cloak or Jewelry. Works for 
  wearer only. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Wood to Flesh  
  Regular; resisted by HT 
  This spell turns wood to living flesh. It cancels the Flesh to Wood and Barkskin and will negate the PD and 
  DR of plants and plant-based creatures.  
  Duration: Permanent (unless reversed)  
  Base Cost: 10 per hex the creature occupies. The entire creature must be affected for this spell to 
  have any effect.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Flesh to Wood 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 100 points.  
  Woods Wise  
  Information 
  This spell temporarily gives the mage Area Knowledge 15 about a 1 mile square area of natural terrain (or a 
  smaller area if the caster's desires it).  
  
   482 
  This knowledge will allow the mage to attempt to learn the answer to one relevant question he might have 
  about the area. Complex or obscure questions will be at a penalty to effective skill. If the mage already has 
  Area Knowledge for the area in question, this spell gives him a temporary +5 bonus to skill.  
  This spell won't work in "unnat ural" or built-up areas, like the pits of Hell or cities. It will work in "magical" 
  forests or "natural" terrain on different planes or different planets.  
  Base Cost: 3 points 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Forest Warning 
  Magic Item: Staff, Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Woodwraith 
  Regular resisted by IQ

  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds

  Sound and Hearing Spells 
  Changes to spells from GURPS Magic 
  Sound - This spell can be used to make animal calls, machine noises, or any other noise that the caster has 
  ever heard. For double cost the sounds can be made very loud, equivalent to heavy traffic or rolling thunder. 
  This gives -3 to Hearing rolls in the area and gives +3 to hear the sound.  
  Voices - The mage must be familiar with voice he is creating and the language it is to speak. For double 
  cost the voices can be made very loud, equivalent to a cheering crowd or a screaming argument. This gives 
  -3 to Hearing rolls in the area and gives +3 to Hearing rolls to hear the voices.  
  Thunderclap - For each doubling of cost, the area affected can be doubled. For double the Base Cost of 
  the spell, subjects within area of effect can be Stunned unless they roll vs. HT. The mage can select people 
  he wishes to resist at HT+2.  
  Sound Jet - Each doubling of cost doubles range. Damage cannot be increased.  
  Silence - Sound coming into the affected area is blocked as well.  
  Noise - The noise is specified by the mage when the spell is cast. Everyone within the area of effect is at - 
  10 to all Hearing rolls (except to hear the Noise).  
  Hush and Mage Stealth - Everything about the subject is muffled or silenced, including the clattering of 
  equipment and armor, footsteps, breathing, noises made by brushing against tree limbs, and so forth. In 
  most cases this spell will allow the subject to automatically win all contests of Stealth vs. Hearing. Against 
  creatures which have encountered this spell before the spell effectively gives the subject three levels of the 
  Silence advantage, since an experienced listener knows how to "listen for the silence". Items which the 
  subject drops or throws will still make noise. Objects which would normally make noise as the subject 
  brushes by them will be silent as long as the character is touching them. Once they fall away from the 
  character, the will produce normal sounds. For example, if a character under the effects of a Hush spell 
  accidentally trips over a tripwire with an alarm bell attached to it, the bell wouldn't make noise as long as the 
  character was touching the wire. However, once they step away from the wire, the bell will ring normally.  
  Far Hearing - Each doubling of energy costs doubles the range.  
  Sound Vision - Each casting of this spell will either give Sonar or Radar, but not both. Identifying individual 
  people who the mage is familiar with by their radar or sonar "signature" requires a roll vs. Sound Vision-6.  
  Scribe - The pen has a limited amount of "intelligence" so it will ignore verbal tics, background noise, side 
  comments, and the like. The pen will also write in a grammatically correct fashion if the mage wishes it to do 
  so.  
  Wizard Ear and Invisible Wizard Ear - The hearing of the ear is only as good as that of the mage.  
  Delayed Message - Reduce costs for this spell to 2 energy points per sentence or idea. The caster can also 
  specify that the message go off when certain conditions are fulfilled or in the presence of a certain type of 
  person or group. Anyone specified when the spell is cast will be able to hear the message. If nobody is 
  specified, everyone in the area will be able to hear the message when it is triggered. The conditions must be 
  something that the mage himself could sense were he there in person.  
  Changes to spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Resist Sound - This spell has no effect against the Concussion spell.  
  Converse  - More than two people can converse using this spell. Each extra person adds +1 to the cost to 
  cast the spell. If the GM wishes, he can rule that eye contact is not needed as long as all parties are willing 
  and are actively participating in the conversation. Alternately, he can just give this spell a Duration of 1 
  minute and a cost of 1 to maintain.

  Ambient Noise  
  Area 
  This spell creates the sort of noise appropriate to a given area and "transmutes" unusual or anomalous 
  sounds into sounds that are more typical for the location.  
  Those within the area of effect hear what is actually going on, those outside of the area of effect hear "typical 
  noises". For example, a melee in a tavern would transform the clash of swords into the clinking of beer mugs 
  and shouts and screams into noisy singing and chatter.  
  At the wizard's option, the area of ambient noise can be focused on a single area or on a person allowing a 
  mobile area of ambient noise to be created. This spell can also be used to create "false" background noise if 
  the mage desires it. For example, the caster could make it sound like there was a war going in a tavern even 
  though the only "real" noise is being made by quiet and peaceful patrons.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2, same to maintain. An area can have this spell cast on it permanently for 25 time the 
  Base Cost.  
  Prerequisite : Sound 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Amplify 
  Area 
  Causes any sound in the area covered by the spell to be amplified. Each doubling of cost doubles decibel 
  volume, up to 120 decibels.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain (each doubling of cost doubles volume). An area can have this spell 
  cast on it permanently for 25 time the Base Cost.  
  Prerequisite : Great Voice 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Beguiling Voice 
  Area; resisted by Will 
  Makes the subject's voice sound remarkably sweet and attractive, to the point where anyone listening to the 
  voice must roll vs. Will or stand mesmerized while the subject speaks.  
  Mesmerized subjects will be unaware of their surroundings and will be insensible to danger unless they are 
  subjected to a sudden shock or are physically jolted into "wakefulness" by a stimulus like a shout or being 
  jostled.  
  Once the spell ends or when they are jolted the subjects may roll vs. IQ each turn to "wake up" as if they 
  were Mentally Stunned. Once they "wake" they have no idea what the caster just said to them and they must 
  make an IQ roll to realize that more than a few seconds have passed.  
  Subjects who don't listen to the caster (or who are deaf) or who make their Will rolls, are not mesmerized by 
  the spell, though they might listen to what the caster has to say if they are interested. If they interrupt the 
  caster by speaking or otherwise interfering with him, the spell is broken.  
  Subjects need not understand what the caster is saying in order to be beguiled by his voice.  
  As a side effect, if this spell is cast on a person who is about to perform using their voice (usually Bard, 
  Singing, or Performance) skill, this spell gives +4 to their effective skill (though the Voice advantage is 
  cancelled for the Duration of the spell). Even if the listeners aren’t Beguiled, the subject’s voice still sounds 
  incredibly beautiful.)  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  
   485 
  Prerequisite : Forgettable Tale 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Blarney 
  Area; resisted by Will 
  Like the Beguiling Voice spell but everyone listening to the caster must roll vs. Will or become Dazed (as the 
  spell) for the Duration of the spell and must roll vs. IQ every 10 seconds to regain their senses once the spell 
  ends. Once the spell ends, the subject gets +2 to his Fast Talk skill to influence the people who fell victim to 
  his spell.  
  Subjects need not understand what the caster is saying in order to be beguiled by his voice. They do have to 
  understand the subject in order for the Fast-Talk roll to work.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Beguiling Voice.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Cacophony 
  Area 
  This spell makes all sounds produced by a person, creature, or object seem unbearably irritating. This 
  cancels the effect of the Voice advantage and will generally require people who hear the character to make 
  a reaction roll at -2.  
  Objects or creatures affected by this spell require those who hear them to make a Will roll to ignore the 
  noise they make. The reaction of any individual listener depends on the object and the nature of the person. 
  A chair made to squeak in an unbearable fashion would prompt a carpenter to try to mend it, but a ill-
  tempered ruffian might just decide to smash the chair instead. People with Brontophobia must roll vs. Will or 
  leave the area.  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Base Cost: 2, same to maintain. An area can have this spell cast on it permanently for 25 time the 
  Base Cost.  
  Prerequisite : Sound 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 200 points.  
  Captive Voice 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This spell transfers the subject’s voice to a box, bag or other closable container. When the container is shut, 
  the subject can’t speak at all, but the bag vibrates when they attempt to speak. The louder the sound they 
  make, the more the bag vibrates. When the bag is open, the subject’s voice comes from the bag or 
  container, no matter how far away it is from the subject.  
  Base Cost: 4,3 to maintain 
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Mute, 3 other Sound spells.  
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 300 points.  
  Celestial Chorus 
  Area, resisted by Will 
  Fills the area with music of unearthly beauty, causing all those who hear it to roll vs. Will or stop what they 
  are doing and stand quietly, overcome with awe, as if they were Mentally Stunned. Attacks or unpleasant 
  physical sensations will give awestruck subjects another roll vs. Will to "wake up".  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. An area can have this spell cast on it permanently for 50 time the Base 
  Cost.  
  Prerequisites: Magery, Music 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  
   486 
  Death Scream (VH)  
  Area, resisted by HT 
  This spell produces a powerful, shrill scream of terror which is so shocking that it kills all who hear it.  
  Anything with a sense of hearing in the area of effect must roll vs. HT or be reduced to 0 HP immediately, as 
  if they had been electrocuted.  
  Those who survive must make a Fright Check at -4 to Will.  
  This is also a Necromantic spell.  
  Duration: 3 seconds 
  Base Cost: 8, can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Celestial Chorus 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Dispel Silence  
  Area 
  This spell counters any magically produced silence. It acts to counter spells like Hush, Silence, Mage 
  Stealth, and silence produced by Magic Items.  
  Like a counterspell, it must overcome the other spell in a contest of skills.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. An ar ea can be permanently enchanted with this spell for 25 times the 
  Base Cost.  
  Prerequisite : Noise 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Distort Sound 
  Area 
  Makes sound passing through an area become distorted in any way that the caster wishes.  
  Sounds can be muffled (-4 to Hearing rolls), made to sound like echoes, "speeded up" so that voices 
  become fast and high- pitched, slowed down so voices sound low and slow, or changed in any other way the 
  caster can imagine. (Essentially this spell allows sound to be distorted in any way that a good modern sound 
  technician with decent equipment could distort sound.)  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. An area can have this spell cast on it permanently for 25 time the Base 
  Cost.  
  Prerequisite : Sound 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Eavesdrop 
  Area 
  The mage can hear sounds from one area in another area. To cast this spell, the mage must first physically 
  be in the area that he wants to transmit sound. Then he must travel to the area where he wants the sound to 
  be transmitted and finish the spell. The time that the mage takes to travel to the new location comes out of 
  the Duration of the spell, though the spell won’t work until a reception location is specified.  
  Both the transmission and reception areas are the same size, unless the mage wishes to make one or the 
  other smaller. However, the mage must pay the energy cost to affect the larger area. Once the spell is cast, 
  anyone standing in the area of sound reception can hear sounds created in (or which pass through) the 
  other area.  
  The mage can cast this spell twice to allow two way communication, but the first casting of the spell counts 
  as an “on” spell, until the mage completes the spell by travelling to the other area and the second spell 
  counts as an “on” spell when the mage attempts to cast other spells.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 3, same to maintain. (each doubling of cost doubles volume). This spell can be made 
  permanent for 50 times the Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds, plus time required to physically travel to the receiving location.  
  Prerequisite : Great Voice, Farspeaker.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  
   487 
  Echo 
  Area 
  Removes any sound deadening qualities from the area, making any sounds made echo as if they were 
  made inside a large, empty room.  
  Attacks which affect hearing or which create loud noise are at +2 to skill and damage.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. An area can have this spell cast on it permanently for 25 time the Base 
  Cost.  
  Prerequisite : Distort Sound 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Filter Sound 
  Regular 
  Removes "background noise" from the sounds that the subject hears, allowing the subject to hear a single 
  sound (or type of sound) clearly (+6 to Hearing rolls).  
  Unfortunately, the subject has -2 to Hear any sort of sound which is being filtered out. The subject can 
  cancel this spell at any time.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Keen Hearing 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.  
  Forgettable Tale  
  Special; resisted by IQ 
  This spell allows the caster to begin a long, pointless monologue on the subject of his choice which will 
  mesmerize anyone listening to it. After 10 seconds, any subject within earshot who is listening to the caster 
  must roll vs. IQ or enter into a trance-like state, nodding politely and listening attentively to whatever the 
  caster has to say. While the caster drones on they will be oblivious to their surroundings, and will be 
  insensible to danger unless they are subjected to a sudden shock or are physically jolted into "wakefulness" 
  by a stimulus like a shout or being jostled.  
  Once the spell ends or when they are jolted the subjects may roll vs. IQ each turn to "wake up" as if they

  make an IQ roll to realize that more than a few seconds have passed.

  wander off or fidget politely until their patience is exhausted. If they interrupt the caster by speaking or 
  otherwise interfering with him, the spell is broken.  
  This spell can't be used to get the subjects to agree to do something they don't want to do, since the topic 
  which the caster speaks on can't be important or focused.

  Techmagic Spells 
  In some cases these spells can be used in low-tech campaigns. 
  Machines - Most machine spells will work on low-tech machines such as lathes, windmills, or waterwheels.  
  Fuel - At low tech levels wax, tallow, wood, coal, peat, lamp oil, distilled alcohol, crude oil and other "raw" 
  hydrocarbon products (like asphaltum or naptha) can be produced. Gasoline and other refi ned hydrocarbons 
  are first discovered at TL 5. 
  Radiation - Unless the GM wants a world where people can understand and use radiation this college of 
  spells should not be allowed.  
  Energy - At low tech levels the GM can allow some Energy spells to be incorporated into the College of 
  Elemental Fire. Also see the Elemental Power spell for a low tech version of Draw Power.  
  Metal and Plastic - Metal spells can be allowed as variants of the Elemental Earth college.  
  Changes to Spells in GURPS Grimoire 
  Machine Cadence - If this spell is cast on a machine, it will work twice as efficiently or twice as quickly.  
  Machine Summoning - For double cost the mage can have the machine come to him in a safe manner as if 
  the mage were driving or propelling it.  
  Machine Speech - The more complex and larger the machine the "smarter" it is. Simple machines like 
  hinges and pulleys have an IQ of 1 or 2 for purposes of this spell. Household appliances and more complex 
  non- motorized tools have an IQ of 3 to 5. Complex or large machines like cars or computers have IQ 6 to 
  12 or more.  
  Glitch and Malfunction - It costs 1 point extra per ton of machine to cast this spell on a large machine. 
  Smaller, independent parts of a large machine (like just one engine on a passenger jet) can be affected 
  independently from the machine they are attached to, as long as they don't cause the entire machine to 
  malfunction as a result.  
  Schematic - If the mage casts Mapmaker before he casts this spell, he can produce a physical "blueprint" of 
  the device. The quality of the blueprint is based on the mage's Engineer or Architecture skill in most cases. 
  This spell is also a Making and Breaking spell.  
  Rebuild - This spell costs 15 to rebuild an item up to 250 lbs. 10 to rebuild an item up to 75 lbs. 7 to rebuild 
  an item of 30 pounds or less and 5 to rebuild an item which weighs 10 lbs. or less. This spell is also a 
  Making and Breaking spell.  
  Draw Power - The implications of this spell are immense. Using the “Low Tech” version of this spell, the 
  mage can draw power from waterfalls, volcanoes, geothermal vents, thunderstorms, and so forth, allowing a 
  constant, powerful supply of mana for enchantments and other spells. 
  Preserve Fuel - This spell won't prevent fuel from being consumed when it is used!  
  Purify Fuel - For double cost ruined fuel can be restored rather than being destroyed.  
  Earth to Stone - It costs ten times normal cost to turn earth into precious metal and five times as much to 
  turn stone into precious metal.  
  Metal Vision - Each doubling of cost doubles range. Doubling cost also allows the mage to see through lead 
  and other metals which normally block vision.

  technological items.  
  A gremlin has the following statistics: ST: 5, DX: 10, IQ: 8, HT: 10/4. Move: 3 
  Advantages: Invisibility, Clinging, Catfall, Dark Vision, Invulnerability (Electricity, Radiation, Heat, Cold, and 
  Kinetic Energy), Silence (5 levels), Ultrasonic Speech, Ultrasonic Hearing, Secret Communication, Immunity 
  to Poison, Immunity to Disease, Gnawing, Cast Iron Stomach, Doesn’t Breathe, Pressure Support (1 level), 
  Vacuum Resistance, Universal Digestion. Shrinking (2 levels)  
  Disadvantages: Jinx, OPH: Destroys Technology, OPH: Practical Joker with Sick Sense of Humor, Very 
  Curious, Vow: Use no technological item more advanced than Hand Tools, Inconvenient Size (1” tall), On 
  The Edge, Capricious, Cowardice, Callous, Nocturnal, Lazy.  
  Racial Skills: Mechanic (all varieties) 12, Electronics Operations (all varieties) 12, Demolitions 12.  
  Grimoire: Poltergeist 12, Ruin 12, Fray 12, Break 12, Shatter 12 
  Description: Gremlins appear to as small, hermaphroditic humanoids, sometimes they will have one or more 
  of the following features - large glowing, yellow eyes with slit-like pupils, pointed ears, and/or a whiplike tail 
  with a small barb on the end. They sometimes wear outlandish parodies of human clothing, especially 
  military uniforms and mechanics outfits, but they are just as likely to go naked.  
  Gremlins survive by nibbling on high tech material. Though it only takes a few ounces of technological 
  material (which can be something as simple as refined metal) gremlins are gourmets with a sick sense of 
  humor. Wherever large amounts of high tech equipment is found, eventually gremlins will appear, and their 
  delicate palettes are the cause for most equipment failures. When guns jam, engines stall, or equipment 
  fails, there is probably a gremlin involved. Unfortunately, due to their natures, they see equipment (and the 
  people who use it) as playthings. When a jet crashes, a gremlin gets a thrill ride down to the ground, and 
  after he bounces a few times, he picks himself up and rushes off to do it again.  
  Because they love high technology and thrills like crashing airplanes and exploding tanks, gremlins are 
  particularly drawn to military operations, especially in war zones. Some pilots say that it’s the chewing of 
  hungry gremlins that puts bullet holes in their airplanes.  
  Typically, gremlins are semi-solitary creatures who like to nest inside of machinery. They especially like 
  warm, dark places where they can nibble undisturbed. Though gremlins can’t be killed by most conventional 
  means, they hate to be disturbed and dislike strong sunlight. This means that if there is bustle and light 
  (such as a team of mechanics lifting access panels and checking vehicle systems), a gremlin is likely to 
  move on.

  Ghost in the Machine  
  Special 
  This spell summons a spirit into a machine, making it “alive” in some sense. In order to summon the spirit, 
  the mage must use another spell to “trap” a soul or spirit such as Summon Demon, Summon Elemental, 
  Soul Jar, Summon Spirit, etc.  
  When the spirit has been summoned, the mage uses this spell to attempt to bind the spirit into the machine. 
  The spirit resists with its ST+Will. If the mage is successful, the spirit is permanently bound into the machine.  
  Once bound, the spirit is limited much as if it were trapped in a soul jar, except that it can control the 
  machine within the limits of what the machine can normally do. If bound into a vehicle, the spirit can make 
  the vehicle move under its own volition, as long as the vehicle is capable of movement (i.e. is turned on and 
  is running), otherwise, the best that the spirit can do is to make the machine vibrate or rock to and fro. 
  Likewise, the spirit can control the other functions of its “container”. For example, a computer with a spirit in 
  it can turn itself on and off, change which programs are running, connect to the internet (if provided with a 
  modem), etc.  
  If someone is actively using the machine and attempts to resist the spirit’s power, the operator must win a 
  contest of Will or the spirit’s Will vs. the operator’s relevant skill. Spirits can help or hinder the operator. If the 
  spirit can make an IQ roll (and win a contest of Wills if the user is aware of its presence), it gives –1 to the 
  user’s relevant skills for every point by which it made its IQ roll (or won the contest). If a spirit wishes to aid 
  the operator, it can give +1 to relevant skill for every 3 points by which it made its IQ roll, up to a maximum 
  bonus of +3.  
  In other respects this spell is like the Soul Jar spell.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 10 points, plus 1 point per 50 lbs. that the “host” machine weighs (minimum of 15 
  points)

  New Spells 
   Assemble  
  Information 
  Allows the mage to know how to put together a machine. This spell will also tell the mage if parts are 
  missing or broken, and will give him an idea of what they look like. The mage gets +4 to mechanic or 
  engineer skill to assemble an existing machine based on the information he gets from t 
  Base Cost: 3

  Prerequisite : Schematic 
  Autoduel/TL (VH) 
  Regular 
  This powerful spell allows the mage to magically create weapons on or in a vehicle. The mage can create 
  any sort of weapon with which he is familiar with. However, the weapons created must be able to fit into (or 
  onto) his vehicle and they cannot be removed from it. Ammunition supply is normal for that sort of weapon 
  (GM’s option as to what is “normal”) 
  Created weapons are fixed to fire in one direction. The driver or pilot (or a passenger, if the mage specifies) 
  can fire these weapons by pressing a button or pulling a trigger, but he cannot aim them unless he has the 
  Sight spell or unless he has normla sights mounted on the vehicle. Shots fired by a vehicle without sights 
  
   499 
  are treated as Wild Shots (hit on 9 or less, can’t be aimed). However, depending on the weapon the mage 
  might be able to use the “Walking the Burst” rules for autofire weapons to improve subsequent shots. For 
  double cost, the weapons are on flexible mounts and the gunner has crude “iron” sights which he can use to 
  aim. In this case, the gunner uses his Gunner (Vehicular Weapons) skill at –3 or 9, whichever is better. He 
  can also make aimed shots. Acc is that of the weapon. For triple cost, the weapons are on a universal turret 
  mount. This allows them to fire in any direction. The gunner either turns with the guns in a turret, or uses a 
  system of targeting cameras to fire at targets behind him or to his sides. In this case, he uses his Gunner 
  (Vehicular Weapons) skill at no penalty (or 9 whichever is better). He can make aimed shots, and the basic 
  Acc of the weapon is improved by 1 due to the turret mount.  
  If weapons are already installed on the vehicle, the new weapons will be linked to some or all of them, as the 
  mage desires.  
  Duration: 5 minutes 
  Base Cost: 3 per pound of weapon created, 2 per pound to maintain. Increase costs as above for 
  improved weapon systems.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Create Item (Illusion and Creation), Machine Speech 
  Magic Item: For 50 times the normal cost this spell can be made permanent.  
  Camera/TL 
  Regular 
  Allows the mage’s eye to function like a still or video camera for the Duration of the spell.  
  While the spell is in effect, the mage can use his eye like any normal visual-recording device he can 
  imagine. If he has an appropriate way to store the images he sees, he can “download” them onto a roll of 
  film, video tape, or a computer disk so that they can be permanently stored.  
  The artistic quality of the images is limited by the mage’s Photography or Video Production skill.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisites: Edit 
  Configure/TL 
  Regular 
  This spell magically fixes software problems like those encountered by computers and other complex 
  machinery.  
  While the spell is in effect, all computer problems caused by software vanish and programs which normally 
  conflict (or which can’t even be run on a given system) work perfectly.  
  This spell can also be used to perfectly (and permanently) install new software, change the settings on a 
  computer, or to completely remove a program which the mage wishes to delete (such as a virus).  
  Duration: 10 minutes or permanent 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Edit 
  Connect to Network  
  Regular 
  Allows the subject to connect to a computer network without interface equipment. Skill is at -4 if the subject 
  is not touching a network terminal or a modem-equipped computer.  
  Duration: 1 hour.  
  Base Cost: 3 to cast, 1 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 30 seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Know Computer, Wizard Eye.  
  Create Machine/TL (VH) 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to create any machine with which he is familiar. A mage cannot use this spell to 
  create new machines unless he has the Gadgeteer advantage. Modifiers: -5 if the mage does not have 
  blueprints or schematics in front of him (the Schematics spell helps), -5 if he does not have the parts to 
  
   500 
  make the machine at hand, +1 or more for a very simple machine. -1 or more for a very complex machine. If 
  a machine requires closely associated parts in order to function (like bullets for a gun, or staples for a 
  stapler), then a normal “load” is provided with the machine. However, these supplies vanish if removed from 
  the machine though they are permanent if used in the “proper” fashion. For example, rivets created with this 
  spell will remain behind even though the rivet gun created by the spell vanishes when the spell’s Duration 
  ends. If the Duration of the spell is extended, one new “load” is provided with the extension. This is an 
  extremely powerful spell. If the GM feels that it is being abused, he can increase the energy costs or restrict 
  the sort of machines that can be made to simple mechanical machines rather than machines and 
  electronics. Or, he can make the creation of each class of machine (guns, computers, etc.) a separate spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 per pound of machine created, 2 per pound to maintain. Double cost if “expendable 
  supplies” are to be included with the machine.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Create Item (Illusion and Creation), Machine Summoning, Schematic, 10 
  other Machine spells.  
  Magic Item: For 50 times the normal cost objects created with this spell can be made permanent.  
  Data Compression/TL 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to fit much more Information onto a “normal” piece of recording media than is 
  normal.  
  For example, the mage could make a record or tape that actually stores four (rather than two) “sides” of 
  music or speech.  
  The mage determines which “file” he wishes to pull up when he inserts the recorded media into the 
  recording or reading device.  
  In order for this spell to work the mage must have a blank recording media (i.e. CD, cassette, blank record) 
  and he must either record the Information using mundane or magical means after the Data Compression 
  spell has been cast.  
  At the end of the spell’s Duration, all the Information on the media vanishes.  
  Duration: 1 day or Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1 per doubling of storage capacity of the recording media. For 5 times normal cost this 
  spell can be made permanent.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Data Copy, Data Recovery 
   Data Copy/TL 
  Regular 
  This spell allows the mage to make a perfect copy of any “file” designed to be read by a computer or video 
  or audio player as long as the mage has a blank disk (or audio tape, or whatever) with sufficient capacity to 
  record the Information.  
  In order to cast the spell, the mage must physically touch the object from which he wishes to record to the 
  data source – the disk or tape itself – for the Duration of the spell.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1 per Gigabyte (minimum 1)  
  Time to Cast: 1 second per Gigabyte to be transferred (minimum of 10 seconds)  
  Prerequisites: Read Electronic Media 
  Data Erasure/TL 
  Regular 
  This spell completely wipes out Information from all files specified by the mage when the spell is cast. This 
  makes them completely unrecoverable (and undetectable) by normal means and requires any mage using 
  the Data Recovery spell to win a contest of Skills.  
  In order to cast this spell, the mage must physically touch the media that he wishes to erase – for the 
  Duration of the spell.  
  This spell will not work on computers or other logic device (such as robots) unless their recording media or 
  logic centers are physically exposed. Use the Memory Zap spell instead.  
  
   501 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1 per Gigabyte to be erased (minimum of 10 seconds)  
  Prerequisites: Read Electronic Media 
  Data Recovery/TL 
  Regular, resisted by IQ in the case of AI Computers 
  This spell allows the mage to retrieve lost or unreadable data which is meant to be “read” by a machine such 
  as a computer. At lower tech levels this spell can fix erased audio tape or broken records.  
  In order for this spell to work, the media that the Information was stored on must be at least partially 
  physically intact.  
  If the media was erased due to a hostile spell, then the mage must win a contest of spell skills for this spell 
  to take effect.  
  This is also a Making and Breaking spell. 
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 1 per Gigabyte of data (minimum of 1 point). Double cost if the data storage media has 
  been physically damaged. Quadruple cost if the media has been damaged to the extent that it isn’t 
  readable by the device that it works with (like a CD which has been melted into slag).  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Repair, Restore, either Memory Zap or Read Magnetic Media.  
  Disconnect Other 
  Regular, resisted by IQ or Computer Operations skill 
  Forcibly disconnects a person from a computer network.  
  Duration: Instant.  
  Base Cost: 2.  
  Prerequisites: Connect to Network.  
  Magic Item: computer file. Energy Cost to create: 200.  
  Downgrade 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  The reverse of the Upgrade spell, this spell makes a machine behave as if it was older, slower, or less 
  efficient.  
  Though the GM must determine specific effects of the spell, as a rough guideline each 10% reduction in 
  quality will reduce speed, maneuverability, durability, and the like by 10% (or down to the next logical step if 
  10% increments don’t work). Computers are reduced by 1 complexity level per level of this spell.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4, same to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Glitch, Malfunction.  
  Edit/TL 
  Regular 
  When this spell is cast, the mage can mentally “edit” raw film, audio or video tape or re- touch pictures to 
  create a finished, professional- looking (and sounding -) piece. This spell gives the mage a temporary skill of 
  12 in the relevant skill or gives him +4 to skill if he already has real experience with the skill he needs.  
  Changes made to media with this spell are real and permanent.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 3, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisites: Machine Speech 
  Electronic Archives/TL 
  Regular 
  The mage can instantly make any type of mass media entertainment ever produced (TV show, movie, radio 
  broadcast, record, etc.) to appear on a suitable piece of equipment.  
  
   502 
  The mage must know the specific broadcast he wants or he is at a skill penalty. If the mage doesn’t know 
  exactly what he wants he is at -2 to skill. If he has only a vague idea of what he wants, he is at -4 to skill. If 
  he has never seen (or heard) the broadcast he wants to find he has an additional -2 to skill. If the broadcast 
  does not exist on conventional recording media (i.e. it’s lost or was never broadcast) the mage is at an 
  additional -2 to skill. So, if the mage is trying to reconstruct a private telephone conversation which was 
  never recorded (so it’s lost) he would be at -4 to skill because it wasn’t broadcast, and the mage never heard 
  it.  
  If the mage has a suitable, mundane recording device, he can permanently record the magically summoned 
  Information

  Information 
  Tells the caster where in cyberspace a particular user's avatar is. If the user is presently using multiple 
  avatars, will give the location of the "closest".  
  Duration: Instant.  
  Base Cost: 2.  
  Prerequisites: Know Avatar, Know Location.  
  Magic Item: computer file. Energy cost to create: 100.  
  Global Village/TL 
  Regular 
  The mage can pick up any TV or radio broadcast in the world, as long as he has equipment which could 
  normally pick up a similar signal. For example, a short-wave radio could be used to pick up FM signals from 
  the other side of the world or a TV which works on U.S. television frequencies could receive a European 
  show which is broadcast on an entirely different frequency.  
  The mage must know the frequency (or at least the sort of broadcast) he wishes to receive before he casts 
  this spell. If he only has a vague idea of what he wants, he is at -4 to skill level.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Improve Reception 
  Graphics /TL 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  Allows the mage to alter any electronic screen image on a TV, video camera, computer monitor, etc. so that 
  it displays whatever picture or image he wants it to display.  
  The mage can use this spell to quickly create any visual image that the mage can imagine - graphic images, 
  moving pictures and animations. However, the quality of the images is limited by the mage’s mundane skill - 
  generally Artist, Computer Operations (Graphic Design), Video Production or the Movie Director professional 
  skill. If the mage has a suitable storage device (movie camera, VCR, hard drive, etc.) he can permanently 
  save the images he created so they can be viewed normally.  
  At TL 8 this spell can be used to “feed” false readouts to cybernetic eyes. This application of the spell is 
  resisted by IQ.

  Allows equipment specified by the mage to perfectly receive any broadcast signal that it could normally pick 
  up, no matter how faint or distorted it might be. If this spell is used to foil jamming, it gives +4 to the subject’s 
  Electronics Operations (Sensors or Radios) roll.

  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisites: Reveal Function 
  Interactive Entertainment 
  Regular 
  Alters the content and script of any TV show, movie, radio broadcast or other broadcast medium as the 
  mage sees fit.  
  Only the screen the mage is watching is altered, so the real broadcast (or the original show) isn’t changed. 
  However, other people looking at the screen see what the mage sees.  
  Details of “invented” scenes are coherent in style with “real” scenes, but the mage controls the action. The 
  artistic quality of the improvised program is limited by the mage’s Writing skill (or some other skill if the GM 
  deems it relevant).  
  Duration: 30 minutes 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain

  Duration: Instant.  
  Base Cost: 1.  
  Time to Cast: 1 minute.  
  Prerequisite : Measurement.  
  Network/TL 
  Regular, resisted by IQ in the case of AI computers 
  When this spell is cast on a computer, it is magically linked to another computer or group of computers (such 
  as the internet or cyberspace) as if it had a normal network and modem connection.  
  This allows the linked computers to exchange Information and run shared programs, just like a normal 
  network. The mage must physically touch the computers to be networked (or he must at least touch the 
  computer to a phone jack to connect to the internet) though the computers can be moved any distance apart 
  once the spell is cast.  
  Note that this spell does not resolve software problems (beyond network software) that different types of 
  computers might have, it only eliminates hardware problems.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 2 to link a single computer into an existing network or 2 per 5 computers joined into a 
  new network, half to maintain. For 20 times the Base Cost the computers can be permanently 
  linked into a network 
  
   504 
  computer to be linked into a network (maximum 5 points) Prerequisite: Download, Configure 
  Password  
  Regular, resisted by IQ or Complexity of computer 
  This spell allows the mage to crack a computer password, either to log onto a network with restricted access 
  or to read a document that has been electronically encrypted or protected by a password.  
  In order for this spell to work, the mage must win a contest of skill against the Complexity of the Computer. 
  Complexity 1 Computer have an effective IQ 7. Every complexity of computer after that gives +2 to effective 
  IQ, so Complexity 2 computers have IQ 9, Complexity 3 IQ 11, and so forth. AI computers use their normal 
  intelligence plus 5. Duration: Instant.  
  Base Cost: 3, can’t be maintained.  
  Prerequisites: Machine Speech, Connect to Network 
  Print File 
  Regular 
  Creates a hard copy of a computer file.  
  Duration: Permanent.  
  Base Cost: 1 per Gigabyte of data.  
  Prerequisites: Know Computer, Create Object.  
  Program/TL 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell allows the mage to magically create a computer program that will do anything he can imagine, 
  irrespective of the real limits of the machine he is working with.  
  While the spell is in effect, the program is “real”, and appears to be a real, mundane computer program. 
  However, the program vanishes from the computer when the spell ends and the computer returns to its 
  normal capacity.  
  Alternately, this spell can be used to debug or modify code that the mage has written using mundane means 
  so that the program “does what he wants it to do, not what he told it to do.” Modifications to mundane code 
  are permanent. If the mage is attempting to use this spell to hack into a computer system or to alter 
  somebody else’s program, he must first win a contest of his skill vs. the Computer Programming skill of the 
  person who designed the program he is trying to alter or defeat. Intelligent machines, such as robots and AIs 
  resist with their IQ. If the mage tries to interfere with cyberware which is worn by another person, the subject 
  gets a roll vs. Will to resist.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 4, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Machine Speech, Graphics 
  Recorder/TL 
  Regular 
  Similar to the Camera (q.v.) spell, but the mage’s ear serves as a professional quality sound recording 
  system.  
  While the spell is in effect, the mage can use his ear like any normal audio-recording device he can imagine. 
  If he has an appropriate way to store the sounds he hears, he can “download” them onto a tape or a 
  computer disk so that they can be permanently stored.  
  The artistic quality of the images is limited by the mage’s Video Production or Professional Skill (Sound 
  Engineer) skill.  
  Duration: 10 minutes 
  Base Cost: 3, 1 to maintain 
  Prerequisites: Edit.  
  Remote Control/TL 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  This spell allows the mage to control any technological device from a distance. While the mage cannot make 
  the machine do anything it could not normally do, he can control it as if he were touching or handling the 
  controls. Thus, the mage could drive a car or program a VCR from a distance.  
  
   505 
  If the mage would normally have to make a skill roll to control the machine, he rolls against skill- 4 plus any 
  long distance modifiers. These penalties are doubled if the mage cannot see the object he is controlling.  
  If this spell is used to control a machine that someone else is carrying, riding in, or using, then the subject of 
  the spell gets a roll vs. IQ to defeat the spell. Intelligent machines such as robots and AI resist attempts to 
  control them with their inherent IQ.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Machine Control 
  Sights/TL  
  Regular 
  By means of this spell, the mage can magically equip any vehicle that he is riding in with a sighting or 
  targeting system with which he is familiar. The system will be placed in such a way that a person riding in 
  the vehicle (or a specific person riding in the vehicle) can operate it from where they sit. If this person is also 
  the driver or pilot , the controls will be placed so that they can simultaneously fire their weapons and 
  maneveur. This sighting system will give a bonus to ACC as is normal for that type of system, plus a bonus 
  equal to ¼ the mage’s skill with the spell.  
  If weapons are already installed on the vehicle, this sighting system will be linked to some or all of them, as 
  the mage desires. Otherwise, the mage mage must add weapons to the vehicle using the Autoduel spell.  
  Duration: 5 minutes 
  Base Cost: 4 to cast, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Machine Speech, Autoduel.  
  Magic Item: For 50 times the normal cost this spell can be made permanent.  
  Switch 
  Regular, resisted by IQ 
  When this spell is cast, the mage can remotely switch an electrical device on or off, or change it from one 
  state to another. For example, a mage could use this spell to change the channels on a TV set or turn it off 
  without having to get up, or to change a stoplight from red to green. If there is more than one possible 
  channel or control, the mage must choose which control he will affect, or which frequency he wants.  
  If the mage attempts to control an intelligent machine (like a robot) or a machine held or controlled by 
  another person (like a laser pistol in the hand of a foe) then the subject gets a resistance roll to overcome 
  the effects of this spell.  
  If the mage attempts to affect a machine from a distance, long distance modifiers apply.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 2, can’t be maintained. Double cost if cast on an intelligent machine or on an item 
  controlled by another person.  
  Magic Item: A remote control box (like a garage door opener or a TV remote control) which will 
  affect any device at which it is pointed. Cost: 250 points.  
  Television Land(VH)/TL 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  The subject is “sucked” into a computer monitor or TV set that they are watching and become incorporated 
  into any action on the screen.  
  To viewers outside the screen, it looks as if the subject has become part of the show and is just another 
  character. To the subject of this spell, it appears as if they have suddenly been thrust into a strange, 
  possibly surreal adventure wearing (or carrying) only the possessions that they had on them before the spell 
  was cast.  
  It is up to the GM to determines what happens to a person affected by this spell. He could treat it as an 
  adventure where the subject gets to meet his television or video gam e heroes or he could just rule that the 
  character is quickly killed. In any event, the “world” that the subject is placed in is ruled by the “reality” of the 
  game or television show that they are transported to. A character in a “realistic” game could very well 
  operate by “cinematic” rules if he is transported to the “world” of a Hollywood action flick. A superhero would 
  be terribly out of place if he was transported to a “world” where supers didn’t (or couldn’t) exist. Any 
  character would be out of place in a cartoon!  
  
   506 
  Though this spell can be used to allow characters to “visit” worlds which only exist in the media, it is also a 
  potent way of disposing of enemies. Anyone who is faced with the prospect of being transported into a 
  particularly horrifying “world” must make a Fright Check (like any normal, sane person who is sucked into a 
  real-life version of the “Doom” computer game). They also get a Will roll to resist the spell.  
  At TL 2, a variant of this spell allows the mage to transport a subject into the “world” described by books or 
  scrolls where he can interact with fictional characters. At TL6, this spell can be used to transport a character 
  into a movie “world”. And, at TL8 this spell can be used to physically transport someone into the virtual world 
  of the Net 
  In this later case, their real, physical body is their “icon” and any damage they take from simulated combat or 
  defense programs on the Net is real!  
  When the spell ends, the subject “pops back” into reality right in front of the television set or monitor. 
  Physical and psychological damage inflicted in the “TV world” is real and must be healed normally.  
  Duration: 1 minute (real time), time for the subject is subjective.

  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Interactive Entertainment 
  Upgrade 
  Regular 
  This spell temporarily makes a machine more powerful or more effective than it normally would be up to the 
  limits of existing technology. For example, an ordinary car can be given performance equivalent to that of a 
  sports car, or an old computer can be turned into a state-of-the- art workstation.  
  In a Cyberpunk campaign each level of this spell increases the Complexity, Speed or Storage a computer 1. 
  Vehicles have their speed or handling increased by 10% per casting of this spell.  
  Note that this spell doesn’t allow the limits of normal technology to be exceeded, it only allows the mage to 
  get more out of the equipment he has.  
  Duration: 15 minutes 
  Base Cost: 2 per level of complexity, per 100 pounds of equipment, or fraction thereof. Same to 
  maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 30 seconds.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Schematic 
  Virtual Device(VH)/TL 
  Regular 
  Creates a fully charged machine of the mage’s choice from nothing. It works normally for the Duration of the 
  spell (even in the absence of a suitable power source) and then vanishes.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1 point per $1,000 of fair market value of the object to be created, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds.  
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Machine Summoning, Assemble 
  Electricity 
  Jam Signals 
  Area 
  By means of this spell, a tech mage can jam all electronic transmissions within the area of effect. This will 
  affect radio and TV signals as well as microwave communications, radar, and bugs which rely on radio 
  transmitters. Sonar and laser communications are not affected, neither are electronic communications which 
  travel by wire or fiber optics.  
  By paying one extra point, the mage can select which frequencies he wishes to jam. Note that the mage 
  need not be able to monitor the frequencies he jams, but he must be aware of them before he can jam them.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1/10 per hex, same to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Broadcast

  Energy Spells 
  New Spells 
  Absorb Attack  
  Blocking 
  The mage uses this spell to absorb some of the energy from an attack and converts it to Fatigue. However, 
  this spell gives no protection against damage and the spell is most effective if the mage actually takes 
  damage from the attack, so the mage is essentially trading Hit Points for Fatigue! If the attack is a crushing 
  blow, such as a mace blow or a Stone Missile spell, then the mage may regain fatigue equal to half the 
  damage he takes, rounded down. If the attack is a kinetic cutting or impaling attack, then calculate the 
  Fatigue based on the weapon’s Basic Damage before cutting or impaling bonuses are applied. If the attack 
  is a fire attack, then fatigue regained will be equal to the full amount of damage received. If the attack is an 
  electrical attack, Sun Bolt, or generic "energy" attack, the fatigue regained will be equal to the full amount of 
  damage received plus one for every three full points taken. If an attack hits the mage, but does not damage 
  for whatever reason (DR, Protection spell), then some fatigue may still be regained. A kinetic attack will give 
  1 point of fatigue per three dice of damage or parts thereof. A fire attack will give 1 point of fatigue per two 
  dice of damage or parts thereof. An electrical, Sun Bolt, or generic "energy" attack will give 1 point of fatigue 
  per dice of damage of part thereof. At the end of the turn, any fatigue in excess of the mage's maximum is 
  lost - although it may be spent before then.  
  Base Cost: None.  
  Prerequisites: Recover Strength, 2 Body Control Spells, 2 Energy Spells 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Always on. Energy Cost: 150 points.  
  Fuel to Water 
  Regular 
  This spell turns liquid fuel to water. Depending on the fuel and the system it is powering, the results could be 
  negligible or they could be disastrous. Internal combustion engines will run roughly or stall if they get water 
  in them, and in cold weather water can freeze in fuel lines stalling the engine until the blockage is removed.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 4 per gallon. Can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Water to Fuel 
  Essential Fuel  
  Regular 
  Any fuel that this spell is cast on becomes three times as efficient as usual and burns completely without 
  generating any pollutants.  
  Batteries become three times as efficient when this spell is cast on them. The power of electrical current isn't 
  changed, but any source of electrical energy lasts three times as long.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 6 per gallon or pound.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Water to Fuel 
  Magic Differential  
  Enchantment 
  This spell links the motion of two wheels (or similar items) so that the wheels can share a common power 
  source (like being linked on the same axle) yet one wheel will rotate at a different rate of speed if it 
  encounters more or less resistance.  
  Base Cost: 50 points 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Magic Power 
  
   508 
  Magic Power 
  Regular 
  This spell allows an engine or mechanism to run on magical power. Every point of energy put into this spell 
  provides a machine with 0.1 Kw of power. This spell can be used to turn axles, pulleys, etc. with no obvious 
  motive force.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1per 0.1 Kw of power, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Air Golem 
  Magic Item: Any motor or mechanism can be enchanted so that it is magically powered. Energy 
  Cost: 40 points per 0.1 Kw.  
  Magic Transmission  
  Enchantment 
  This spell links the rotary motion of one disk, cylinder, or wheel, to another. When one wheel turns, so does 
  the other. Resistance that slows down one wheel slows down the other. Although the wheels must be in 
  physical contact when the spell is first cast, afterward they can be any distance apart (barring no-mana 
  zones) and still transmit force between them.  
  There will always be some additional drag between the two wheels. They lose 1% of power for every 100 
  feet of distance between the power wheel and the linked wheel, or 10%, whichever is more.  
  Breaking one of the wheels breaks the spell, though the spell will resume for enchanted items once the 
  wheel is repaired. 
  Base Cost: 1 point per watt of power produced, minimum 250 points.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Draw Power, Magic Transmission

  Plasma College 
  Available at TL8+, this college is the result of high tech research, and is a progressive development of the 
  Fire College. Plasma is electrically charged gas present in outer space. In nature it is found at extremely 
  high temperatures, but in a very rarified state.  
  The plasma produced by these spells is much more potent and concentrated, more similar to the plasma 
  wash of TL9 flamers. For gaming purposes, plasma is rated by "intensity", from 1 to 6. 
  Plasma does 1d+1 in damage and 10 rads of radiation per point of intensity. Plasma acts like gas and fire; a 
  hex of plasma, unless held, will dissipate evenly. It drops one level of intensity per second, and spreads out 
  one hex per turn. Eventually, the cloud will dissipate to nothing.  
  Radiation drops off at a rate of 5 rads per hex of distance from the plasma source.  
  Resist Fire at the fourth level will protect against plasma, no matter what its intensity.  
  Plasma Elementals 
  In addition to these spells, a Plasma mage may also use the Summon Elemental, Control Elemental and 
  Create Elemental spells to Summon, Control or Create a Plasma Elemental.  
  Plasma Elementals are identical to Fire Elementals in all respects, except that they are immune to fire, 
  vacuum, and most other hostile environments. They take only one point of damage from any physical attack, 
  doing their rated damage to the weapon! They do 6d+6 points of damage do 50 rads of radiation damage 
  per turn to anyone in their hex or on a successful strike in combat. 
  If they can immerse themselves in plasma they regenerate 1 HT per minute.  
  Shape Plasma spells hinders them by 1 point of Move and Dodge per level of spell, and Destroy Plasma 
  does 1d+1 damage per application. Any spells or devices which will disrupt lightning or generate magnetic 
  fields will stop Plasma elementals, unless they can make a ST roll (at a penalty or bonus for the intensity of 
  the field) to break through. 50 gallons or immersion in water does 2d damage, and explosive attacks do 1/2 
  damage through disruption and dispersal.  
  Plasma elementals are flighty, unpredictable creatures which react at -3. Their normal habitat is the surface 
  of stars and the insides of fusion reactors, and they dislike being called away from their homes.  
  It costs twice as much energy to summon a Plasma Elemental as a Fire Elemental.  
  New Spells 
  Body of Plasma/TL 
  Regular 
  The subject becomes a seething mass of plasma. Clothes and equipment also become plasma, but lose any 
  magical abilities for the Duration of the spell. He can carry nothing while in this form. 
  The subject retains normal senses, may cast spells at -2, and may speak with a rumbling metallic voice. He 
  is immune to fire, vacuum, and most other environm ents. He takes only one point of damage from any 
  physical attack, doing his rated damage to the weapon! He does normal plasma damage on a strike, and is 
  considered a "plasma hex".  
  While is plasma form, the subject is immune to beam weapons of most sorts, and regenerates 1 HT per 
  minute while in plasma. Shape Plasma hinders him by 1 point of move and dodge per level of spell, and 
  Destroy Plasma does 1d+1 damage per application. Any spells or devices which will disrupt lightning or 
  generate magnetic fields will stop plasma. 50 gallons or immersion in water does 2d damage, and explosive 
  attacks do 1/2 damage through disruption and dispersal.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 10 points, 8 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery 2, Breathe Plasma 
  Breathe Plasma/TL 
  Regular 
  Similar to Flame Breath, using DX-2 or Magic Breath skill. The spell doesn't increase the base damage, but 
  allows the wide plasma wash to unseal armor in the same manner as TL9 plasma weapons. They also may 
  divide the damage among adjacent targets in the same manner, making this spell very deadly against 
  crowded opponents.  
  
   510 
  Duration: 1 second 
  Base Cost: 2 points per die of damage, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Plasma Jet 
  Create Plasma/TL 
  Area 
  This spell creates a ball of plasma of the desired intensity roughly one hex across. The plasma appears out 
  of nothing, requiring no fuel, and radiating nothing harmful beyond unpleasant heat. Anything inside the 
  plasma will take damage commensurate with the intensity.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 3 points per hex per level of intensity, same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Seek Plasma, Irradiate, Essential Fire, Resist Fire, Magery 
  Deflect Beam/TL  
  Blocking 
  This spell is identical in function to the Deflect Missile spell from GURPS Magic (MU68), but it works against 
  the beam weap ons common to TL8+ worlds. It has the same statistics as the Deflect Missile spell, except as 
  noted below.  
  This spell will protect against all sorts of beam weapons, but does not protect from secondary heat or blast 
  effects that these very destructive weapons may produce. However, this spell protects completely against 
  plasma attacks of any sort. Against weapons of a higher TL than the spell is known at, apply the usual 
  penalties.  
  Base Cost: 5 points, can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite: Deflect Missile, Shape Fire, Shape Light 
  Destroy Plasma/TL 
  Regular 
  The spell reduces the intensity of plasma by one level per hex per application, by destroying rather than 
  simply dispersing. The spell can be used to snuff out a fusion power plant, probably wrecking it in the 
  process.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 2 points per hex 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Seek Plasma, Extinguish Fire 
  Explosive Plasma Ball/TL  
  Missile 
  Can be thrown at a wall or such at +4, to catch others in the blast. Much like a Explosive Fireball, the 
  intensity of the plasma drops by 1 per hex distance, with unsealing and knockback effects. From a distance, 
  the blast resembles a tiny nuclear explosion.  
  In other respects this spell is identical in its effects to the Plasma Ball spell.  
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 2 points per die of damage.  
  Time to Cast: 1 second per die of damage.  
  Prerequisite : Plasma Ball 
  Plasma Armor/TL 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  The subject is sheathed in a plasma envelope of the desired intensity- the subject and everything he is 
  carrying are under a basic Resist Fire spell. These flames provide illumination and ignite flammables as per 
  Create Plasma. The subject's punches do an extra 2 points burning damage and 5 rads radiation damage 
  per level of intensity.  
  
   511 
  Any melee attack that hits triggers an intensity 1 backlash along the weapon, automatically hitting the torso. 
  If the subject is grappled, the foe is treated as if in a plasma hex, but the spell is broken.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 4 points, 3 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Shape Plasma 
  Plasma Ball/TL  
  Missile 
  Lets the caster throw a ball of plasma from his hand. When its strikes something, it vanishes in a gout of 
  plasma, doing its damage to everything in the hex. Damage is related to its intensity, with the same 
  unsealing abilities as a hand flamer (UT52). In addition to its normal damage, each die of damage also 
  inflicts 5 rads of radiation to anything in the hex. The missile has SS:13, Acc: +1, 1/2D: 25, Max: 50 
  Duration: Instantaneous 
  Base Cost: 2 points per die of damage 
  Time to Cast: 1 second per die of damage.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Shape Plasma 
  Plasma Cloud/TL 
  Area 
  Generates a cloud of diffuse but still harmful plasma. It does not block vision, but inflicts 2 points of burning 
  damage and 5 rads per intensity level. If less than a full turn is spent in the cloud, damage is halved. Armor 
  protects normally for the first turn, then it must check for unsealing at +2 (UT52). Flammable materials are 
  almost certainly ignited.  
  Duration: 3 seconds 
  Base Cost: 5 points, can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Magery, Shape Plasma 
  Plasma Jet/TL 
  Regular 
  Lets the caster shoot a tight, well focused jet of plasma from one fist, rolling on DX-4 or magic jet skill. It is 
  similar in all respects to "Flame Jet", save the damage done. A caster can have two jets by casting twice, 
  but the other is offhand, and thus at -4.  
  Duration: 1 second 
  Base Cost: 2 points per level of intensity 
  Time to Cast: 1 seconds per die of damage.  
  Prerequisite : Shape Plasma 
  Plasma Missile/TL 
  Regular 
  This spell is identical to the Flame Missile spell, except that it does 2 points of damage and 5 rads of 
  radiation damage per level of intensity, in addition to the normal weapon damage.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 2 points per level (3 levels maximum), can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Plasma Weapon 
  Plasma Sword/TL 
  Regular 
  Forms a blade approximately a yard long, doing damage as per its intensity. The blade is dense enough to 
  parry material weapons, doing damage to them as well! The spell produces something similar to the TL11 
  force sword.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 3 points per level of intensity, same to maintain.  
  
   512 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Shape Plasma 
  Plasma Weapon/TL

  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 2 per level of intensity.  
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Shape Plasma 
  Reflect Beam/TL 
  Regular 
  This spell is identical in function to the Reverse Missile spell from GURPS Magic (MU68), but it works 
  against the beam weapons common to TL 8+ worlds. It has the same statistics as the Reflect Missile spell, 
  except as noted below.  
  This spell will protect against all sorts of beam weapons, but does not protect from secondary heat or blast 
  effects that these very destructive weapons may produce. However, this spell protects completely against 
  plasma attacks of any sort. Against weapons of a higher TL than the spell is known at, apply the usual 
  penalties.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 5 points, can’t be maintained.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite: Magery, Reverse Missile, Shape Fire, Shape Light 
  Seek Plasma  
  Information 
  This spell is exactly like the spell Seek Fire, and is the basic spell for the college. It tells the caster the 
  direction, distance, and intensity of the nearest plasma source. The caster may exclude or specify plasma 
  sources as he wishes. Unless one is near a fusion reaction, any plasma at all is worth noting!  
  Base Cost: 1 point 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Seek Fire 
  Shape Plasma/TL 
  Regular 
  Lets the caster control the shape of any plasma, or move it at 5 yards per turn. It also allows plasma to be 
  "spread" in the same manner as the spell "Shape Fire". Shaping requires a moment of concentration, and 
  the caster must concentrate while moving it, but the plasma will hold its shape.  
  Duration: 10 seconds 
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Create Plasma 
  Gene Weaving 
  This sub-college of Tech Magic has to do with genetic engineering, biological modification, and molecular 
  biology. It overlaps with the spells of Animal, Healing and Body Control magics.  
  Know DNA  
  Information, resisted by HT 
  This spell provides the caster with a mental picture of the subject’s complete genome, and allows him to 
  know all the “genetic” Information about the subject, including inheirited traits, genetically inbred advantages, 
  disadvantages, and skills, race, sex and so forth. Any Intron Scripting that has been done will be readable 
  with this spell.  
  Duration: Instant 
  
   513 
  Base Cost: 5 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisite : Sense Life, Body Reading.  
  Dominant Gene (VH) 
  Regular; Resisted by HT 
  This spell allows the mage to tweak a single recessive trait, making it dominant. For example, the 
  dominance pattern for eye color could be switched in an individual so that her descendants always have 
  green eyes. The downside is that selecting a gene for dominance could stifle natural mutation and evolution 
  of that trait among a population.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 5 
  Time to Cast: 30 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Resequence 
  Dwindle Tumor (VH)  
  Regular 
  The opposite of Metastasize, Dwindle Tumor will cure magical or mundane forms of cancer. If the cancer is 
  the result of radiation exposure (p. S77), the spell does not reduce the number of permanent rads in the 
  subject's body (c.f. Cure Radiation), but it will halt any suffering from radiation sickness until the next 
  exposure.  
  Duration: Permanent 
  Base Cost: 12 
  Time to Cast: 1 minute 
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Resequence, Major Healing 
  Magic Item: Staff or Wand. Energy cost to create: 1,600. Usable only by a mage.  
  Edit DNA (VH)/TL 
  Enchantment 
  This is the basic "Bio-Magic" spell. Its most basic use is to correct and alter the DNA sequences in an 
  unborn child.  
  The spell allows the caster to alter the Attributes, Advantages and Disadvantages that the child will be born 
  with. The equivalent of 1 character point per day can be invested in the child without need of a circle of 
  Mages. “Upgraded” people can be detected by use of this spell (or the Know Child Spell). Each species or 
  subspecies requires a different specialization of this spell.  
  Also note that regardless of the success of the spell, the mage must also roll vs. his Edit DNA spell skill on 
  the GURPS Bio-Tech Success Table (Bio p.59) to determine the quality of the biological modifications.  
  Using this spell, the mage can make a mother give birth to a child of a different species – simply pay 20 
  times the racial cost of the new species – assuming that all the the desired Biomods are within the TL of the 
  mage who is casting the spell.  
  Note that GURPS Biotech gives biological Tech Levels for various Biomods. Each different Tech level of this 
  spell is a different specialization, and no mage can make biomods of a higher TL than the TL of his spell.  
  Base Cost: 20 points per character point to be added or subtracted.  
  Prerequisite : Magery, Regeneration 
  Intron Sculpting 
  Regular, resisted by HT 
  This spell allows the mage to temporarily alter the introns (“junk DNA”) of the subject so that the subject can 
  carry a message in his genes.  
  The mage can encode any Information that he wishes, as long as it can be transmitted by means of the 
  genetic code. For example, DNA or RNA sequences could be transmitted by Intron Sculpting, but pictures 
  (unless the mage found a way to encode the picture into a code which could be read by a computer or 
  cryptographer) would not be.  
  Unless the mage wishes the Information to be encrypted, anyone casting the Know DNA or Intron Sculpting 
  spell can read any messages that the subject carries in his introns.  
  Duration: 1 day

  As a creature's IQ is boosted, its physical body may need to be reshaped with other Gene College spells to 
  take advantage of increased brain capacity. Uplift can be used with The Brain! to raise a creature to 
  Presentience (p. CI103).  
  At GM option, a critical success with The Brain! (or a variant version of the spell) could spark latent psionic 
  powers (p. P86) in a subject whose IQ is greater than 12.

  Protection and Warning Spells 
  Changes to spells from GURPS Magic 
  Armor - In game worlds where it is easy to do large amounts of damage, the GM can lower the cost of this 
  spell (1 point per point of DR given or even 1/2 point per point of DR given) and remove the maximum limit 
  on how much DR can be improved. For half cost the DR can be made to protect vs. just one attack from (i.e. 
  impaling, cutting, crushing, fire, cold, etc.).  
  Sense Danger - This spell will also give the rough direction the danger is coming from.  
  Watchdog - The caster defines the conditions which will trigger the watchdog when the spell is cast. The 
  spell can also be used to alert the mage if anyone comes near of if anyone (or someone) of a certain 
  description comes near.  
  Nightingale - When the spell is triggered, anyone within earshot gets a roll vs. Hearing + 2 to detect the 
  noise. Each extra point of energy put into the spell gives +1 to Hearing rolls to detect the noise. 
  Instead of an aural warning, the mage specify that the lights in the area will dim and brighten repeatedly 
  (giving a roll vs. Vision to detect the intrusion), or a strong (but harmless and non-offensive) scent will fill the 
  area (allowing a roll vs. Smell). These stimuli can be made stronger, as above. For double cost two versions 
  of this spell can be incorporated. For triple cost, all three stimuli can be included.  
  Mystic Mist - For double cost the mist will even confuse creatures with Absolute Direction and 3D Spatial 
  Sense.  
  Missile Shield - This spell will protect against any sort of ranged attack directed specifically against the 
  target. It will not protect against concussion or heat damage from explosions or the unpleasant effects of 
  area spells. This spell will protect against shrapnel damage from explosions.  
  At high tech levels the missile shield spell becomes extremely powerful, since it allows the mage to ignore all 
  sorts of missiles, no matter how powerful they are. GMs who wish to limit the effectiveness of the Missile 
  Shield spell should consider the use of one or more of the following optional rules:  
  • 
  Critical hits bypass Missile Shield.  
  • 
  The mage must roll vs. his Missile Shield skill (at –1 for every 3d of potential damage a missile has) in 
  order to deflect a missile that would otherwise hit him. Optionally, the GM can impose a cap on the 
  mage’s effective skill level.  
  • 
  The Missile Shield is ablative. It starts off with 100 HP. Every missile that would have hit the mage 
  reduces the shield’s HP. When the shield’s HP is reduced to 0, he must recast the spell. In this case, 
  multiple castings of the Missile Shield spell “stack”.  
  Reverse Missiles - The GM can tone down the power of this spell by ruling that reversed missiles are "wild 
  shots" which hit on a 9 or less or the roll needed to hit the target, whichever is worse. If the attacker is using 
  a weapon which doesn't allow them to observe the flight of the missile (like a gun or indirect fire) they must 
  make an IQ roll after every shot (or every burst for autofire weapons) to figure out what is going on. If the 
  subject has previously encountered the Reverse Missile spells, they can roll vs. IQ+4 instead.  
  Iron Arm - The mage must be able to see the blow he is blocking and he must be physically able to 
  interpose his arm between the weapon and the rest of his body, otherwise this spell doesn't work. Martial 
  artists who can parry with their legs can use this spell on their leg instead of their arm though the effects are 
  the same. The "arm" has PD 4, DR 20. For double cost DR can be doubled.  
  Magelock - The mage may specify who may pass through a magelocked door when the spell is cast but 
  once the door is opened, the spell ends. Magelocked doors can't be opened by any non-magical means, 
  even with a key made for the door's lock!  
  Teleport Shield - The caster can select whether he will block teleportation into or out of an area or both. He 
  can also specify people who are immune to the spell's effects so he can teleport into or out of the affected 
  area without penalty. This spell protects the area against any spell or psionic ability which transports a 
  person through time, space, or dimension, so it also blocks attempts to time travel, open new gates, or 
  materialize from another plane.  
  Weather Dome - Volcanic ash and other particulate matter is NOT weather and this spell won't protect 
  against it though it will protect against rain triggered by volcanic eruptions, nuclear fallout, and so forth. 
  Water and ice produced by natural causes (or magic which simulates natural weather) and wind are the only 
  
   517 
  things that this spell will keep out. Underwater or in the air this (and all other "dome" spells) create a sphere 
  instead.  
  Force Dome - The mage sets the light level (and the color of the light) when the spell is cast. The barrier will 
  allow air to get through, filtering it if necessary. If there is no air available (like in a vacuum or underwater), 
  the spell will trap the existing air inside the globe, but the mage is responsible for supplying his own air.  
  The dome has PD 4, DR 20. Each multiple of energy cost adds +1 PD (up to 8) or 20 DR (no limit). It will 
  protect against any non-magical attack form including heat, concussion, water, poison gas, and radiation. 
  Excess damage from a single attack will penetrate the dome, though the dome will not be weakened. For 
  this purpose, every 25 rads of radiation counts as 1 point of damage. In theory a high -tech mage could use 
  this spell to survive at ground zero of a (non-magical) nuclear blast, if he had enough energy to power the 
  spell! The mage can fire spells out of the Force Dome, but he must "fire blind" unless he has some sort of 
  remote- seeing spell on the outside. He can also fire normal missiles, but they will "stick" in the walls of the 
  dome unless they would do sufficient damage to penetrate the dome. For double cost (or the same multiple 
  of energy used to add extra PD and DR to the dome if it is made stronger) the mage can fire non-magical 
  missiles through the dome without having to worry about them being blocked. He must still "fire blind" 
  though.  
  Utter Dome - The Utter Dome is exactly like the Force Dome (see above) except that it will block magic and 
  magical weapons.  
  Changes to spells from GURPS Grimoire 
  Catch Missile - For double cost any missile can be caught as long as it is made of solid material. In addition 
  to this cost it also costs 1 point for every 3 dice of impact damage the missile would do (discounting any 
  potential explosive damage). A high tech mage could catch an artillery shell if he had enough power to do 
  so!  
  Return Missile - Returned missiles are treated as Wild Shots, just like missiles reversed using the Reverse 
  Missiles spell.  
  Force Wall and Utter Wall - These spells have PD 4, DR 20 per hex. Each doubling of energy adds 1 to PD 
  (up to 8) or doubles DR.

  Aegis of the Hearth 
  Area

  advantage, preventing any mage who is not present (or named) when the Aegis spell is cast from casting 
  magic in, into, or through the protected area.  
  Unlike the Parma Magica advantage, this spell does not have to be renewed on a daily basis. It is always on 
  and can never be weakened, even if it is penetrated by hostile magic. The Aegis must be renewed once per 
  year, it cannot be maintained. Two Aegis spells can “overlap” in Duration, but their effects are not cumulative 
   It is typically used to protect Covenants.

  spell for every 30 mana points expended.

  spell lets out a loud ringing able to be heard clearly up to 60 feet which lasts until the caster wills it to stop.

  Backlash  
  Blocking 
  This spell surrounds the wizard with an invisible force field.  
  If the wizard is hit by any hand-held melee weapon (including natural attacks), he takes normal damage 
  (though armor or other magics can absorb this), but the force field will emit a blast of pure force which does 
  double the base damage which the wizard took to the person who struck the mage. Once the spell is 
  triggered, it ends.

  In addition, to the Base Cost of the spell, the caster must take Fatigue loss equal to 1/5th the 
  energy absorbed by the spell. The mage can cast more spells between the time when he casts this 
  spell and the time it takes effect, but the Bodyguard spell counts as an "on" spell until it is 
  discharged.

  Close Window 
  Area; resisted by Spell 
  This spell "closes" a planar window, blocking observation of a given area from any other plane. Closed 
  areas appear to be black and silent to extra-planar observation. The caster of a Planar Window spell can 
  attempt to pierce this spell by winning a Contest of Skills.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 3 per hex, half to maintain. For 25 times Base Cost an area can be permanently

  Closed Book 
  Regular 
  This spell is a variant of the Wizard Lock spell. When cast on a book or similar items such as a rolled up 
  scroll, the outer cover becomes hard as steel (PD 2, DR 7, 25 HP) and the book cannot be opened by any 
  means except for a password.  
  
   520 
  If the cover is somehow pried off, the pages stick together as if they were glued making it impossible to read 
  the book without destroying it. At the same time an anti-scrying spell prevents the contents of the book from 
  being read by psionics or magic.  
  The only way to make the book return to its normal form is for the caster to will the spell to end or to utter a 
  password. This magic only applies to attempts to read the book, the book will have its normal PD and DR if 
  used as a shield and will have its normal HP against damage.  
  This is also a Communication and Empathy spell. 
  Duration: 24 hours 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. A book can be permanently enchanted with this spell for 10 times the 
  Base Cost.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds

  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points.

  immune to its effects.

  Time to Cast: 4 seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, Mystic Mist.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  Electric Iron Arm  
  Blocking, resisted by HT 
  This spell is an improved version of Iron Arm which actually does damage to the attacker. If the mage 
  parries a metal weapon, the attacker takes electrical damage equal to the mage’s basic Punching damage. 
  This damage bypasses the DR of all metallic armor. If the weapon has a wooden handle, damage is halved. 
  If the weapon has a completely non- conductive handle or if the attacker is insulated against electrical 
  shock, this spell has no effect though the mage must still pay Fatigue cost.  
  This is also an Electricity spell.

  spell is activated normally.

  Prerequisite : Magery, 5 Protection and Warning spells.  
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Works for wearer only. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Faerie Ward 
  Area, resisted by Will 
  This spell creates an area where Faeries and similar creatures dare not tread. Faeries cannot enter the 
  affected area unless they make a Will roll. Even then they will find the warded area intensely uncomfortable 
  and will seek to leave as soon as possible. They must make a new Will roll every minute.  
  This spell does not prevent faeries from using ranged weapons against people protected by this spell, but it 
  does give anyone in the area of effect +4 to Resistance Rolls or Contests of Skill when attempting to resist 
  or overcome spells cast by Faeries.  
  Base Cost: 3, same to maintain

  overcome by intense discomfort as if the Sickness spell had been cast on them. For every 10 seconds they

  this spell for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Immunity (VH)  
  Regular 
  This spell gives the subject immunity to one form of damage, specified when the caster begins the spell. The 
  cost of the immunity depends on the rarity of the attack form.  
  • 
  Extremely Common: Cutting, Impaling, or Crushing damage, Magic, Fire: 6 points 
  • 
  Common: Earth, Air, Water, Electricity, Cold, Suffocation/Drowning, Specific Magic College: 4 points 
  • 
  Rare: Undead, Disease, Poison, Specific Class of Person, Specific Race of Monster, Light, Darkness: 3 
  points 
  • 
  Very Rare: Rare Class of Person or Monster, Specific Person, Radiation, Time: 2 point  
  Any attack form which the subject is currently threatened with (or which the caster knows he is likely to be 
  threatened with in the near future) counts as Extremely Common when the spell is cast. Cost to maintain the 
  spell is the same as to cast it.  
  Each type of Immunity is its own specialization. Different specializations of the Immunity spell default to each 
  other at -4, and new variants of the Immunity spell can be bought up from the "base" form of the spell.  
  If the mage wishes to buy cheaper, more specialized forms of this spell, he may use the various "Protection 
  From . . ." spells.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: See Above, Same to maintain.  
  Time to Cast: 5 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery 2, 5 Protection and Warning spells.

  1 type of relatively rare damage.  
  Justice

  of the subjects of this spell injure the caster in melee combat they receive an identical injury.  
  Duration: 30 seconds 
  Base Cost: 5 to cast, same to maintain 
  Prerequisite : Mind Sending, 5 Body Control spells

  Lab Coat 
  Regular 
  
   523

  Improves the subject's Block and Parry Scores by up to +3 and gives the subject the Combat Reflexes 
  advantage for the Duration of the spell.  
  Duration: 10 seconds

  Mage's Shield 
  Regular 
  This spell makes a normal shield have the PD, DR, and hit points of a larger shield while still retaining its 
  normal weight and apparent size.  
  Thus, a buckler could be made to have the PD, DR and HP of a large shield while still maintaining its normal 
  weight and size. Magical HP are lost before real HP if the shield takes damage.  
  Duration: 1 minute 
  Base Cost: 1, plus 1 per increase in size of the shield, same to maintain. A shield can be 
  permanently enchanted for 50 times the Base Cost.  
  Prerequisites: Shield 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Magic Bonds 
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  This spell creates an area of nearly null mana around a subject. The field is sufficient to keep a magical 
  creature barely alive but far too low to cast spells. This prevents mages and magical creatures from 
  escaping or casting spells.  
  In order for the spell to work, the mage must physically touch the limbs (or wrists) of the creature he wishes 
  to bind. Unless the mage has a very high skill level with an unarmed combat skill, it is best to cast the spell 
  on a bound or unresisting subject, since the mage must touch both wrists at once. Treat this as an All-Out 
  Attack with an additional penalty to each attack to hit the hand. The creature is allowed a roll vs. Will to resist 
  the spell.  
  If the spell succeeds, the victim is surrounded by a thin force-field containing a portable area of virtually null 
  mana. This makes it impossible for the subject to cast spells or to be the subject of spells which act on his 
  body. Spells which create physical effects which can harm just by close proximity (such as fireballs) are not 
  affected. This spell also doesn’t prevent the subject from using Magic Items which do not require magical 
  energy to power (such as swords). Nor does it prevent him from using other means of attack or defense.  
  This is also a Metaspell.  
  Base Cost: 4, 3 to maintain 
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds 
  Prerequisites: Magery, Force Dome, Mana Damper, 5 other Metaspells and/or Protection and 
  Warning spells.  
  Magic Item: Handcuffs or manacles. Works for wearer only. Always on. Can’t be removed, except 
  by somebody else. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  
   524 
  Merciful Blade  
  Regular, resisted by Will 
  Weapon with this spell on them do “temporary” rather than killing damage.  
  All wounding effects seem “normal” including bleeding and critical hits, but once the victim’s HP go below -
  HT, he falls unconscious for 1d6+1 hours if he fails a HT roll to stay “alive”.  
  Once the victim falls unconscious all his “wounds” disappear and the character returns to the HP score he 
  had before he was hit by the Merciful Weapon. At the end of the time period, he gets a HT roll to “wake up” 
  every hour. He cannot be awakened by any means except magic (a counterspell to Sleep or Heal Minor 
  Wounds will work) once he is knocked unconscious.  
  If a victim is hit by both Merciful and normal weapons, the GM must keep track of which damage is 
  “illusionary” and which is real. If the illusionary damage is the damage which “kills” the victim, then he falls 
  unconscious. If the real damage is the damage which delivers the death stroke, then the character dies for 
  real no matter how much illusionary damage he took.  
  Duration: 1 minute (wound effects last for 1d6+1 hours).  
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Sleep, Deflect Weapon 
  Magic Item: (a) Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 250 points. (b) Any weapon can have this 
  spell cast on it for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Mirrormind

  Obscure Terrain 
  Area 
  Makes terrain affected by this spell “disappear” from magical maps and makes spells designed to determine 
  terrain give random results. Spells such as Mapmaker, Pathfinder, and Determine Location will all give 
  random results in an area affected by this spell unless the mage casting them suspects that this spell is in 
  effect and wins a contest of skills.  
  If the area affected by this spell is part of a larger area covered by an Information spell, then the obscured 
  area will appear to be just another typical part of the landscape.  
  Mundane maps will be affected as well. Anyone attempting to make a map of the obscured terrain must roll 
  vs. Cartography, Surveyor, or Geography skill at -4 to accurately map the area.

  Plane Adaptation 
  Regular 
  This spell magically makes all the changes necessary to the subject's body and carried possessions to allow 
  them to survive in non-earthly planes or dimensions. For example, if the mage suddenly found himself 
  transported to the plane of fire, his body and possessions would become immune to heat and fire. If the 
  mage were transported to Hell he would become immune to the "natural" effects of that plane, as 
  determined by the GM.  
  Each different plane is treated as a familiarity within this spell. The first attempt to cast this spell in an 
  unfamiliar plane (or before entering an unfamiliar plane) is at -3. The second attempt is at -2, the third 
  attempt is at -1, and all subsequent attempts are normal. If the new plane is very much like the mage's home 
  plane the GM can reduce the unfamiliarity penalty.

  and has the following effects: +1 PD vs. attacks by evil (or evilly enchanted) creatures or items. Any 
  possession or mind control attacks attempted on the subject are at -3. The spell also prevents bodily contact 
  by evil extraplanar or conjured items or creatures. Extraplanar creatures cannot pass through the protection 
  (though the caster should beware thrown objects!). This spell is automatically cancelled if the subject attacks 
  or attempts to force the barrier onto the blocked creature(s).

  the target to the new target) the missile automatically misses. Otherwise, this missile hits on a roll of 9, or 
  the roll that the attacker needed to hit the original target, whichever is less. The new target can defend 
  normally.  
  If the total distance traveled by the missile takes it past the 1/2D range, it does half damage or no damage at 
  all, depending on the type of missile.  
  Duration: 1 minute

  Sanctuary (VH) Enchantment,  
  Area 
  This spell functions as a combination of the Scryward, Teleport Barrier, and Consecration spells all linked by 
  the Password spell. It allows an area (usually the wizard's private quarters) to be made virtually immune to 
  most magical spying or intrusion.  
  When cast on an area it prevents all detection spells into the area (but not out of the area), all attempts to 
  magically move into or out of the area (including teleportation, time travel, or travel from other planes), all 
  
   528 
  attempts to view the area from other planes or through time, and all attempts to remove objects from the 
  area by use of magical or psionic powers (such as Snatcher, Exoteleport, or Recall).  
  The only exceptions are for the mage himself and others who the mage consciously allows to pass. This 
  permission must be given in advance and can be revoked at any time. The subject need not be present 
  when permission is granted or revoked, nor do they need to be willing. However, if permission has been 
  granted to pass into the sanctum, or if permission has been revoked, the caster of a scrying or movement 
  spell will know this fact before he attempts to enter the area.  
  Base Cost: 100 per hex  
  Prerequisites: Magery, Scryward, Teleport Block, Consecration, Password 
  Spell Warning

  also gets some idea of the sort of spell that is being cast.

  temporarily obscured by other characters or by dust, the shooter gets the sun in his eyes, or what have you.  
  For whatever reason, unless the shooter can make a Will roll each turn he can't get the Acc bonus for aiming 
  his weapon. This roll must be made for every turn that the shooter attempts to aim at the subject and if a Will 
  roll is failed all previously gained Aiming bonuses are lost.  
  Duration: 1 minute

  Thief Ward 
  Regular; resisted by ST 
  Causes a container to instantly clamp onto the hand of any unauthorized person grabbing it or reaching into 
  it. Once the container "grabs" the intruder's hand, the thief and the container must roll a contest of ST for the 
  thief to get his hand free. The ST of the container depends on the size and construction of the container. 
  Large chests will have ST 15+, smaller containers will have lesser ST. Due to the effects of the spell even 
  the most fragile container will have ST 10. The thief can also remove his hand by attempting to destroy the 
  container. If the container's hit points are completely eliminated, the container is destroyed and it will loosen 
  its grip.  
  In addition to the grabbing action, the container will also repeatedly emit a loud, shrill message or noise of 
  the caster's choice (Traditionally "Stop thief!").  
  Duration: 1 hour (once triggered, the effects of the spell last 10 minutes or until the thief frees his 
  hand or destroys the container).  
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain. Each extra point of energy adds +3 ST to the container's "grip". An item 
  can be permanently enchanted with this spell for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Prerequisite : Watchdog, Alarm 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Tight Pockets 
  Regular 
  When cast on a pocket, pouch, or other container, all the objects in the container become "sticky" and are 
  extremely difficult for anyone but the subject to remove.  
  Anyone but the subject who attempts to remove an item from the container must make a ST roll to do so. 
  Attempts to steal items from the pouch by Pickpocketing or Sleight of Hand are at -6, and irregardless of the 
  success of the attempt, the subject gets a roll vs. IQ+2 to notice the attempt to tug on the item.  
  Duration: 1 hour 
  Base Cost: 2, 1 to maintain. A container (or all the pockets in a garment) can be permanently 
  enchanted with this spell for 25 times the Base Cost.  
  Prerequisite : Alarm 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Total Stealth 
  Regular 
  Combines the effects of Invisibility, Mage Stealth and No Smell into one spell. If the caster also knows Light 
  Tread, an extra point of energy to cast and maintain will ensure that no tracks or traces are left behind at all.  
  Duration: 1 minute.  
  Base Cost: 8 to cast, 4 to maintain. For 1 extra point Light Tread can be incorporated into this spell, 
  if the mage knows that spell.  
  Time to Cast: 10 seconds.  
  Prerequisites: Invisibility, Mage Stealth, No Smell.  
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: Energy Cost: 1,000 points.  
  Traitorous Weapon 
  Regular 
  This spell makes weapons which hit the subject bounce back to hit their wielder. They do normal damage to 
  the subject, but they also "bounce" forcing the attacker to roll vs. Block or Dodge or be hit by his own 
  weapon. (Thrusting or Missile weapons require a simple roll vs. DX to avoid). If the defense roll is failed, the 
  attacker is hit by his own weapon in a random location for normal damage.  
  Duration: 1 minute, or until activated 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain.  
  Prerequisite : Missile Shield 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: 500 points.  
  Vigilance  
  Regular 
  
   530 
  This spell keeps the subject’s mind focused on one simple task for the Duration of the spell, allowing him to 
  remain alert and focused on his task and his surroundings.  
  The major game effect is to give the subject +1 to all his Sense rolls and -3 to all rolls to be surprised. It also 
  temporarily cancels disadvantages such as Short Attention Span or Absent-Minded which interfere with the 
  ability to remain alert for long periods of time.  
  Duration: 8 hours 
  Base Cost: 3, 2 to maintain 
  Time to Cast: 3 seconds 
  Prerequisite : Watchdog 
  Magic Item: Clothing or Jewelry. Energy Cost: Energy Cost: 350 points.  
  Wyvern Watch  
  Area, resisted by HT 
  This spell creates an illusionary beast which will guard an area, paralyzing any intruders.  
  When the spell is cast, the mage creates a dragon-shaped area of force with the following stats: ST: 12, DX: 
  12, IQ: 3, HT: 13/18, Move: 8 Dodge: 9. Its attack does no damage but cannot be Parried or Blocked and 
  paralyzes anyone who fails to Dodge unless they roll successfully against HT. Also, the beast cannot be 
  disbelieved or struck with normal weapons, since it is actually just a mobile area of magical energy. 
  Creatures paralyzed by the beast are frozen in place until the spell ends barring use of a counterspell.  
  The mage determines the extent of the area that the wyvern will guard and who is authorized to enter the 
  area when the spell is cast. Unauthorized intruders will automatically trigger this spell, and the wyvern will 
  materialize 1d6 hexes away from their current location on the next turn.  
  It will not attack people who flee beyond the boundaries of the spell area, but it will pursue subjects through 
  doors and other barriers within the spell area. Its “senses” are very acute (16 in all Perception scores) and it 
  is intelligent enough to not attack subjects that it has already paralyzed.  
  Duration: 12 hours 
  Base Cost: 6, plus 1 per hex of radius, half to maintain. This spell can be made permanent for 25 
  times the Base Cost. If the wyvern is destroyed, it will reform 1d6 hours later.  
  Prerequisite : Sleep, Watchdog, Complex Illusion 
  Magic Item: Staff, Wand or Jewelry. Energy Cost: Energy Cost: 500 points
