Mage Hand

• (Power 0, 10 minutes, 1 action, 30' range)
• You create a floating, spectral manipulator with coordination comparable to a single human hand. As an action you can move it within range and operate it. It winks out if it moves out of range. It has Vigor 1, able to move up to about 10 lbs. You can use skills through it, such as Tinkering or Sleight of Hand, if you have them, but it isn't fast enough to attack effectively.

Mending

• (Power 0+, 1 action, touch)
• Choose 1:
  • (Instant) Pieces of an object of up to 2 slots are bonded back together, and minor wear and tear is cleansed. An object reduced to splinters, dust, or missing significant amounts of material is beyond repair.
  • (10 min) Bond together two pieces of inanimate matter with strength comparable to the weaker of the two substances.

Message

• (Power 0, 1 round, 1 action, 120' range, subtle casting)
• A target in range hears a message you whisper and may speak or whisper a response and have it return to you. You must be able to see the target, know their name, or know to within 5' where they are; the spell can travel around corners and through cracks to reach its target, as long as the total distance traveled is in range.

Minor Illusion

• (Power 0, 10 minute, 1 action, 30' range)
• Choose 1:
  • Create a sound (up to a scream in volume); either a persistent sound or one controlled by you during the duration while you are within range. Can't produce fully intelligible speech.
  • Create a still, visual-only illusion up to a 5' cube in size. Physical contact reveals it to be false and intangible (making it faint, as below). Visual illusions can't truly emit light.
  • Sensory impressions can't be so extreme as to cause harm or true affliction (sound can't deafen, light can't blind).
  • An observer who scrutinizes the sound or image for an action can make a Wits save to perceive through the illusion. If successful, it becomes a faint version of itself, easily seen or heard through.

Shape Earth

• (Power 0, 1 action, instant, 30' range)
• Choose 1:
  • Up to a 125' cubic feet (e.g. a 5' cube) of "loose earth" (soil, sand, dust, gravel, packed dirt, and loose rock up to about fist-sized) gently flows (but doesn't fly) from its position to a destination up to 5' away.
  • You emboss shapes, patterns, symbols, etc covering up to a 10' square onto earth, or even shallowly into stone, masonry, etc.
  • A 5' x 5' patch of earth becomes loose and shifting, or stone grows an uneven crust, becoming +1x difficult terrain. Or a similar area of difficult earthen terrain is stabilized into normal terrain.

Shape Flame

• (Power 0, 1 action, 30' range)
• Choose 1:
  • You extinguish up to a 5' cube of non-magical fire. Combusting material becomes cool enough to touch safely, though superheated or molten material must cool normally over time. It can be reignited normally.
  • (1 hour) You cause flames in a 5' cube to form shapes, change color, burn in a chosen direction, sink down (halving illumination), or flare up (doubling illumination).
  • (conc (1 min) You conjure up to a 5' x 5' patch for fire, able to burn without fuel while you concentrate, after which ignited materials burn normally. It deals 1d4 damage on contact, Dex save to avoid if willing and able to move away as it begins to ignite.

Shape Water

• (Power 0, 1 action, 30' range)
• Choose 1:
  • Up to 125' cubic feet of water (e.g. a 5' cube) gently flows (but doesn't fly) to a destination up to 5' away.
  • (1 hour) You form patterns in the water, or cause water to float in shapes up to 5' above its surface.
  • (1 hour) You form a 5' bubble from the surface, holding enough air to sustain 1 person for about 10 minutes of activity.
  • (1 hour) Up to 125' cubic feet of water freezes or melts over the course of a turn, remaining in this state for up to an hour, after which it behaves as normal for the environment. This is too slow to trap or undermine a creature aware of what's happening and willing to move.

Shape Wind

• (Power 0, instant, 1 action, 30' range)
• Choose 1:
  • Make a Force attack against a single creature or object using your casting stat.
  • (reaction) Grant yourself +A to a Dex save or defense check against a single non-area ranged attack you're aware of that wind could affect (arrows or fire bolts, but probably not thrown boulders, spirit blasts, etc).
  • (reaction) Grant yourself Resistance against the damage from a fall.
  • Increase a single jump's distance by +10'.
  • Gently waft around an object of up to 5 lbs, moving it up to 20', or produce other minor manipulations (push a light door / shutters open or closed, brush aside leaves, kick up dust, etc).
  • (1 min) Clear a 5' radius volume of dust, spores, smoke, vapors, etc. Once the effect ends, they may drift back in.
  • (1 hour) Conjure shapes of mist, dust, etc in up to a 5' radius.
  • (1 hour) Calm mundane winds within range, stilling those of less than storm force.

Spare The Dying

• (Power 0, instant, 1 action, 1 living creature, touch)
• Make a Spirit check to staunch bleeding or stabilize a dying creature as if you had a Healer's Kit (but did not expend a usage). Apply modifiers you would get to normal healing checks.

Ventriloquism

• (Power 0, 10 minutes, 1 action, 60' range, self, subtle casting)
• Without vocalizing, you can cause your voice to emanate from anywhere within range (it can travel around obstacles and fit through small openings, as long as the total distance is in range). It can appear to come from another person, an object, thin air, etc). You can modulate it with overtones or effects, and amplify it up to three times its normal volume, but unless you have the skill to mimic voices or sounds, it is still your voice.

Power 1

Adhesion

• (Power 0+, 8 hours , 1 action)
  • (Power 0, 10 min, touch) Bond together two pieces of inanimate matter with strength comparable to the weaker of the two substances.
• (Power 1+, 8 hours, 30') choose 1:
  • Two inanimate objects (up to 5' x 5' contact surface area (which can be spread over multiple points of contact) are bonded together as if by a strong adhesive (e.g. a rope to a wall, the pages of a book, a sword in a scabbard, a door and its frame, a chest's lid, etc). The objects are no more durable than normal, but the adhesion requires a feat of strength vs DC (20 + caster level) to break. The duration can be set at time of casting (up to 8 hours), or the spell can be dismissed at will or upon a specified trigger condition.
  • A mundane or magical slipperiness is negated as if affected by Dispel Magic. Slick ground or stairs can be made secure, etc.

Alarm

• (Power 0+, 1 hour (Power 0) or 1 week (Power 1), 1 min, 30' range)
• Ward an aperture (door, window, etc) or 20' radius, choosing a mental or audible alert upon casting. The spell tirelessly watches the area with senses comparable to a normal human (thus excellent stealth, disguises, or a sufficiently subtle cue might be missed or might fool the spell), and triggers upon some specified condition it is watching for.
  • Common conditions include: when a Tiny or larger creature enters, if a specified person leaves, if someone draws a weapon, if someone enters without speaking a password or who was not designated at time of casting, if blood is shed, etc.
  • At casting, specify whether you are to receive a silent, mental ping (capable of waking you) if you are within 10 miles, or a sound as loud as a ringing bell is to be produced at the location.
  • If a location is prepared with sigils and the spell cast at Power 1 in the same place weekly for a month, the effect lasts indefinitely.

Arcane Strike

• (Power 1+, instant, 1 action)
• Each is an independent spell, collected here for convenience.
  • Magic Missile (120' range): fires (Power+1) darts of force, each independently targeted. They unerringly strike any target with less than total cover, dealing 1d6 spirit damage.
  • Chromatic Orb (120' range): hurls an orb at 1 target, who must Dex save or take (Power+1)d8 damage. Choose on casting:
    • Elemental Orb: choose damage type (fire, frost, acid, thunder, or poison).
    • Chaos Orb: randomize damage type, rolling 2d6 and choosing one die (fire, frost, acid, thunder, poison, or lightning). If doubles are rolling, the orb rebounds to a new target within 30' (a random enemy if any are present, or anyone if not), rolling a fresh attack, damage type, etc.
  • Arcane Wave (15' cone or 10' radius): each arcana is a separate spell.
    • Thunder: Vigor save or take (Power+1)d6 crushing damage and a Force attack to push them away. Half damage and +D to Force on save.
    • Fire: Dex save or take (Power+1)d8 fire damage. Half damage on save.
    • Lightning: Dex save or (Power+1)d6 fire damage and unreactive until end of next turn. +D if in metal armor or water. Half damage and no condition on save.
    • Slime: Dex save or (Power+1)d6 acid damage and poisoned until end of next turn. Half damage and no condition on save.
    • Thorn: Dex save or (Power+1)d6 piercing damage and grappled. Half damage and no condition on save. The area is +1x difficult terrain for 10 minutes, after which the thorns wither to dust.
    • Catapult (120' range): hurls an object in range of up to (Power x 5) lbs at a place or target also within range. It either lands harmlessly (to it and whatever it lands on) or impacts dealing (Power+1)d8 damage if its hard / heavy enough to plausibly do harm). A target may Dex save to take no damage.
  • Vitriolic Ray (60' range): Vigor save or (Power+1)d8 acid damage and living creatures are poisoned. Half damage and no condition on save. Inanimate objects take maximum damage.
  • Cloud of Shards (60' range, (Power) contiguous 5' cubes): targets that enter or begin a turn in the cloud take 2d6 slashing damage, Dex save for half. The cloud's space is +2x difficult terrain.

• • Arcing Bolt (60' range): an arc of lightning with (Power+1)d8 energy in it leaps to the target. Choose 1:
    • The target takes the full fire damage (Dex save for half) and remains tethered to the caster by lightning for conc (1 min, action). Each turn tethered, it deals 1d8 fire damage (1d4 if initially saved). The spell ends if you lose sight of the target or it moves out of range.
    • Decide how many d8 the target takes, after which the arc leaps to another target within 30'. Repeat until all d8 are spent (each target can only take equal or fewer dice of damage than the previous target). Each target makes a Dex save for half damage, and on a failed save the target is unreactive until the end of next turn.

• • Wrack (60' range): a living target is agonized, taking (Power+1)d6 health damage and is Blind, Deaf, and Dazed (unreactive, no bonus action, slowed) until end of next turn. Spirit save for half and only unreactive.

Aversion *

• (Power 1+, conc (1 min), 1 action, (Power) living creatures, 60' range)
• Choose 1:
  • Cast immediately on targets of your choosing who must be within 30' of each other. You are the source of the resulting emotion.
  • An object you touch. A faint aura shimmers (+10 DC to be noticed) and triggers when touched or view from within 10' (your choice). It affects targets as above, acting as the source and affecting closer targets first.The spell's duration (and concentration requirement) don't begin until it is triggered.
• Chose whether to induce Fear, Sadness, or Disgust, either mild or intense.
  • Mild: can be cast Subtly. The target(s) feels no compulsion, but acts on the emotion according to their nature. They may self-explain why they feel that way, perhaps inventing a source. If they suspect outside influence, they may Spirit or Wits save to shake it off.
  • Intense: target(s) must Spirit save or become overwhelmed by the presence of the source (Frightened, dropping items, and fleeing by Fear or Disgust, +D to attack, defense, save, and stat checks by Sadness). Targets can repeat the save each turn to shake it off. They are likely to self-justify seeing something that caused their reaction.
• +1 Power: target can't save to shake off the emotion until they no longer have line of sight on the source.
• +1 Power: affect all targets in a 30' cone instead (either from you, or a direction from the object set when you draw it).

Beast Link

• (Power 0+, 1 action)
• Form a spiritual link to one or more beasts (Int 4-). They are Charmed, regarding you as a friend, harmless and non-edible. The spell ends for all targets if you or a companion directly menaces or harms it. Aberrant or magical beasts may Wits save, and truly unnatural ones may no longer count as beasts.
• Choose 1:
  • (conc (1 minute at Power 0, 8 hours at Power 1, 1 week at Power 2), 1 beast, touch) While within 10 miles, you can guide and communicate empathically with the beast, and while you concentrate (total), you can perceive through its senses, oblivious to your own.
  • (1 hour at Power 0 or 1 weeks at Power 1+, (caster level) Small or largers beasts or swarms of smaller beasts) A larger number of beasts are charmed and pacified.

Charm Person

• (Power 0+, 1 action)
• (Power 0, 10 min, self) You have +A to Spirit- and Wits-based social checks toward a single, chosen, non-hostile target. When the spell ends, they immediately realize their mood and perceptions were tampered with, and react as they wish.
• (Power 1+, 8 hours, (Power) humans or moderate abhumans, 30' range) Target(s) must Spirit save (+A if currently in physical or strong social conflict with the caster or their allies) or become charmed.
  • Charmed targets forget you just cast a spell on them, and regard you as a good friend (the sort you're happy to offer hospitality, resources, protection, or information to, not slavishly obey or ruin your life for). Their attitude toward other people, such as their own allies, doesn't change, though you companions are thought of as "being with you". Prior conflict is reframed as some kind of misunderstanding.
  • The charm ends if you directly harm or betray their trust. After the spell ends, if you haven't obviously exploited them and they don't have preexisting negative attitudes, they may not realize they were charmed, just believing they took a liking to a stranger.

Command

• (Power 1+, until save, 1 action, (Power) living creatures within 30' of each other who can hear and understand your speech, 60' range)
• Issue a one-word command (bow, flee, retreat, halt, drop, grovel, approach, give, disarm, shout, etc) and the target(s) must Spirit save or obey, saving at the end of each turn to end it in the case of a protracted action.
  • The target must be able to readily and voluntarily perform the action; they can't sleep, die, fly, etc. The spell can't compel direct self-harm (jumping off a cliff, stabbing oneself, etc), but can put the target in greater peril.
  • There can be an implicit "from / to me" in the command (give to me, flee from me, etc); otherwise the situation context guides their interpretation. If the target wants to exploit ambiguity in the command, they must Wits save to have the presence of mind.

Cryptic Script

• (Power 1, indefinite, 1 minute (for an extended message) or 1 action (for a single symbol), touch; 10 gp of ritual materials)
• You draw a sign or message on a surface (wall, parchment, skin) which is luminously visible only to specific people, types of people, or those who speak a password or fulfill a trigger condition named at casting. You can overlay this on mundane writing (e.g. a letter that reads one way to most people, but shows its true message to a select few), make arcane writing appear with a public message (or untranslatable gibberish), or have no overt writing at all. You may limit the duration to a specified length and emplace a condition that causes it to end immediately. When you cast, specify what happens at the end of the spell: the true message remains and becomes visible to all, the false message remains, or both vanish. Dispelling the enchantment erases both messages.

Cure Malady

• (Power 1+, instant, 1 action, 1 living creature, touch)
• Attempt to treat a disease or poison with Spirit and a +(5 x Power) bonus. If the net bonus is +10 or more, the cure is instant; otherwise it counts as one successful Save against the malady (which may require 1 or more successes over time).

Detect Pathogens

• (Power 1, 10 min, 1 action, self, range 120')
• You perceive pathogens on / in objects and creatures you can see, and tell their severity and contagiousness. If you have alchemical, healing, scholarly, or personal experience with the pathogen, you can identify it.

Detect Mineral

• (Power 1, 10 min, 1 action, self, range 120')
• Upon casting, you name a general or particular type of stone or metal (e.g. stone, gemstones, or rubies; precious metals or silver), including eldritch minerals such as nefrit. You can sense the mineral within range, getting a rough direction and quantity (including a sense of density, such as the difference between an ingot and ore).
  • You cannot sense minerals incorporated into living creatures (calcium in bone, iron in blood), but can sense them in prosthetics, constructs, or elementals.

Disc of Force *

• (Power 1, 1 hour, 1 reaction, 30' range)
• Summons a 5' diameter disc of luminous force (flat or slightly curved, as you choose). It can float unsupported up to 10' above a solid or liquid surface, at any angle, and you can move up to 30' and reorient it as a bonus action. Sufficient energy can pierce it; it counts as +5 armor against attacks and can support up to 500 lbs. Greater force will push through / excess weight will fall through. It obstructs intangible beings and spirit / force damage, though an effect of higher Power than the spell ends it.

Disguise Self

• (Power 1, 8 hours, 1 action, self)
• You wrap yourself in illusion, altering the appearance of your body and clothing. You can assume any roughly humanoid form, up to one size smaller or larger, of any build, sex, etc. Visuals that don't line up with the physical reality fail inspection when touched. The illusion also alters your voice, footfalls, etc to fit the appearance, but not smell. A suspicious observer who scrutinizes your appearance can make a Wits save to perceive through the illusion. If successful, it becomes a faint version of itself, easily seen or heard through.

Enchantment of Striding and Springing

• (Power 1+, 1 hour, 1 bonus, touch)
• The subject can Dash as a bonus action (this doesn't count against their Dash limit before fatigue in a chase), gains 3x jumping distance, and +A on checks to run and jump.

• A slick of inert lubricant covers an inanimate object or surface, up to 100 square feet. A slick object requires a Dex save to hold on to or pick up. People in a slick area must make Dex saves to remain standing each turn or upon entry. It is +1x difficult terrain to those trying to crawl or walk through it. Targets are likely to slide down slick slopes, making movement and verticality even harder. The lubricant sublimates at the end of the duration.

• Power 0, choose 1:
  • Create a sound (up to a scream in volume); either a persistent sound or controlled by you during the duration.

  • Sensory impressions can't be so extreme as to cause harm or true affliction (sound can't deafen, light can't blind).
  • An observer who scrutinizes the illusion for an action can make a Wits save to perceive through the illusion. If successful, it becomes a faint version of itself, easily perceived through. Physical contact also reveals its illusory, intangible nature.

  • The object speaks when triggered by conditions you specify while casting. The total length of all speech (including pauses) can be up to 10 min. Different conditions can trigger different speech, allowing a limited topical or branching conversation.

After delivery, the spell can either end or remain to be triggered repeatedly, as specified in casting.
  • The object observes as if it had ordinary senses (sight, hearing, smell, even taste and touch), beginning and ending when triggered by conditions specified while casting (it will usually stop observing if no words or actions of note are occurring). It can recall up to a total of 10 min of observations. The caster decides when casting whether, once its memory is full, it stops observing or begins forgetting old memories and forming new ones. When touched and invoked by the caster, it narrates what it has observed, describing perceptions and perfectly reciting dialog.
• You can sustain up to (caster level) Magic Mouths at once. You can dismiss one at will, regardless of the distance.
  • +X: increase the amount of memory to record speech or perceptions to 1 hour (Pow 2), 4 hours (Pow 3), 1 day (Pow 4) or unlimited (Pow 5). Lengthy recordings can be hard to search through to find desired details.

Sanctuary *

• (Power 1, 1 minute, 1 bonus, 1 creature, range 30')
• The target is warded in an aura of peace. Each attempt to direct hostile action toward the target requires the attacker to first Spirit save.

Sleep *

Sleepers will waken to loud noises, pain, jostling, etc.

A coil can encompass a 5' circle. When a Small or larger creature steps in/on or brushes against the rope, it is triggered. If it coils around them, they must Dex save or be grappled by it.

• The suggestion is taken according to the target's own nature, personality, beliefs, etc, as if a trusted friend had spoken it (though it seems to arise naturally from their own mind), similar to Charm Person. If you can weave in more facts or suit the suggestion to the person's beliefs, you can make it feel stronger and more justified.
  • E.g. if told that a person is plotting against them, a normal person might begin scrutinizing or avoiding them (while wondering what could have caused such enmity), while an already mistrustful or ruthless person might immediately strike against them. A wealthy person might give away their horse to a passerby, convinced that they're doing a good deed, but a poor person would not harm themself with such extravagance (but might loan it, especially if they "heard somewhere" that the recipient was a good and trustworthy person).
• Actions that would cause serious harm or hardship, especially for no good reason, automatically fail.
• The suggestion may be conditional, taking hold within the duration when some event happens, a person is encountered, words are spoken, etc ("the first person you meet", "when you hear someone discuss the weather", "when you get home").

  • You radiate an aura of concealment. You and allies within range gain Expert Stealth to avoid notice and avoid leaving tracks.
    • +1 Power: if cast as a ritual, you can anchor the aura to a location (campsite, door, cottage, etc) for 24 hours instead.

Web

• (Power 2, 1 action, 120', conc (1 hour))
• Sticky webbing fills a 20' radius region (5' high), or a 20' cube, if anchored to walls or other supports.
• The region is +1x difficult terrain and Lightly Obscured. Starting a turn within the area or moving into it forces a Dex save or else become Restrained. A trapped target can break free as for a Grapple (Vigor only, not Dex).

Power 3

Animate Vessel

• (Power 3+, 1 minute, touch, special)
• You conjure near-mindless urge-spirits to animate up to (1 + (Power-3 x 2)) vessels.
  • Vessels can be corpses or constructs fashioned of inanimate material (rope, vines, wood, metal, etc) with sufficient craftsmanship. Bones of Small and Medium animates made from the bones of creatures or lightweight constructs have 1 HD, while corpses and sturdier constructs have 2 HD. Bigger or more ferocious creatures have HD equal to what they had in life (if bones) or +1 HD (if full corpses), and larger constructs may be made that have increased HD.
• As a bonus action, you issue a command to your animates within 60' (only one command, but to as many as you wish). Animates will continue to obey standing orders. They are not very intelligent, limiting their judgement and the complexity of orders they can comprehend. Spells that extend your speech (Ventriloquism, Sending, etc) increase the range at which you can issue commands. If you possess telepathy, you can issue command via it.
• Your control lapses every 24 hours unless you feed the spirits mana.
  • Treat this as casting a spell, gaining (Power x 2) control points. It does not actually require casting or proximity, and you may instantaneously "cast" as much as you wish to retain control.
  • If you have control equal the total HD of animates you seek to retain control over, you do so (you can intentionally cut loose some animates to reduce your goal). If you have less control, roll Spirit bonus DC (10 + excess HD). If you succeed, you retain control. If you fail, you lose control of 1d4 random animates. On a natural 1, you lose control of all your animates.
• Free animates are hungry for life and mana to sustain themselves in the world, and will hunt for them. Some may possess curiosity, making off with supplies or shiny objects that catch their interest. Once control lapses, it cannot be regained except by restraining the animate long enough to cast the spell as if freshly animating it.

Blast the Eldritch

• (Power 3+, conc (1 min), 1 action, self)
• You blaze with light (30' bright, 30' dim). Eldritch beings in either a 30' cone or 10' radius suffer (Power+2)d6 spirit damage each time they enter or begin a turn within the effect.

Blink

• (Power 3, 1 action, self, 1 minute, dismiss (action))
• At the end of each of your turns, roll d20. On an 11+, you vanish into the astral until the start of your next turn (or the spell ends), at which point you reappear in an unoccupied spot of your choice within 10' of where you vanished from. If there is none, you reappear in the nearest unoccupied spot , chosen randomly if there are multiple such places.
• Through a pinprick in reality, you can perceive the world up to 60' from where you left, but in only shades of grey. You can only interact and be interacted with by other things in the astral, or which span both worlds.

Break Curse

• (Power 3+, instant, 1 minute, 1 creature or object, touch)
• Attempt to break a curse, lift a magical / spiritual affliction such as petrification, transformation, life drain, etc, or disenchant a cursed object. Roll Spirit with a bonus of +(5 x Power) vs DC (often the target spell's caster's stat +(5 x Power). It is much harder to destroy a cursed object than to break the object's link to a person.

Dispel Magic

• (Power 3+, instant, 1 action, range 120')
• Targets one creature, object, or magical effect, removing all transient magical effects of equal or lower Power. Each effect of higher Power requires a (caster level + (2 x dispel's Power)) vs (caster level + (2 x target spell's Power)) check to dispel.

Elemental Barrage

• (Power 3+, 1 action, self, conc (10 min))
• A halo of (Power x 2) elemental orbs circles your head. On casting and as a bonus action while the spell lasts, you can launch 1 or 2 orbs up to 120' at individual targets. They explode, dealing 1d6 damage within 5' radius, save for half.
  • Fire: Dex save. Each orb deals an extra +1 fire damage.
  • Frost: Dex save. Deals frost damage and the radius is choked with snow and ice, making it difficult terrain until it melts.
  • Thunder: Vigor save. Deals crushing damage and creatures that fail their save are deafened (end of next turn) and fall prone.
  • Slime: Dex save. Deals acid damage, leaving a slick within the radius. The slick deals 1d6 damage to those who enter it before end of next turn, after which its acid denatures, but the slick remains for 10 minutes. Those moving more than half speed over it must Dex save or fall.
  • Mana: Spirit save. Deals spirit damage (no effect on inanimate objects).
  • Venom: Vigor save. A contact poison that deals health damage. Creatures that fail their save are Poisoned until end of next turn.

Elemental Blast

• (Power 3+, 1 action, 150' range, 20' radius sphere, instant)
• Launch a bolt of elemental power that explodes, dealing (Power)d6 damage (save for half).
  • Fire: Dex save. Deals (Power)d6+(Power) fire damage.
  • Thunder: Vigor save. Deals thunder damage. Creatures that fail their save are deafened (end of next turn), pushed 10' and must save again or fall prone.
  • Mana: Spirit save. Deals spirit damage (no effect on inanimate objects).
  • Frost: Dex save. Deals frost damage and leaves the radius choked with snow and ice, making it difficult terrain until it melts.
  • Slime: Dex save. Deals acid damage, leaving a slick within the radius. The slick deals damage to those who enter it before end of next turn, after which its acid denatures, but the slick remains for 10 minutes. Those moving more than half speed over it must Dex save or fall.
  • Venom: Vigor save. A contact poison that deals health damage. Creatures that fail their save are Poisoned until end of next turn.
• Delay (+1 Power): the bolt turns into a glowing marble for as long as you concentrate (10 min). When you cease concentrating, or the marble is handled roughly (Dex check if being careful) by someone other than the caster, it explodes as normal. Each turn it remains unexploded, its damage increases by +1d, up to an extra (Power)d.

Elemental Stroke

• (Power 3+, 1 action, 100' line, instant)
• Fires a torrent of elemental power, striking everything along its path, dealing (Power x 2)d6 (save for half).
  • Lightning Bolt: Dex save. Deals fire damage and those who fail their save are Unreactive until end of next turn. Reflects off of solid stone surfaces; disperses into water, dealing damage in a 20' radius to those touching it.
  • Incandescent Beam: Dex save. Deals fire damage and blinds those that fail their save until end of next turn.
  • Arctic Gale: Dex save. Deals frost damage and targets must Vigor save or be pushed 5' and knocked prone.
  • Mana: Spirit save. Deals spirit damage (no effect on inanimate objects).
• Delay (+1 Power): the torrent is contained as a glowing thread that floats in air for as long as you concentrate (10 min). You can draw the thread through the air, up to the spell's normal length. When you cease concentrating, or the thread is handled roughly (Dex check if being careful) by someone other than the caster, power lashes along it as normal. Each turn it remains contained, its damage increases by +1d, up to an extra (Power)d.

Endless Breath

• (Power 3+, 1 action, up to (Power x 3) willing creatures within 30', or Self and affecting all creatures within 10' radius, 24 hours)
• The subjects do not need to breathe. Water, lack of air, etc still hinder speech.

Fly

• (Power 3+, 1 action, touch, conc (10 min), (Power-2) subjects)
• Subjects gain 60' fly speed as long as they are not carrying more than a Medium load. Fall immediately if aloft when the spell ends.

Gaseous Form

• (Power 3, 1 action, touch, conc (1 hour))
• Transform a willing subject and their possessions into misty vapor. They tend to roughly hold their normal form, but are amorphous and able to flow through cracks and openings, while treating liquids as solid. They gain resistance to non-spirit damage and +A on Vigor and Dex saves. They hover, can fly 10', and may be pushed around by strong winds. They cannot manipulate items (including ones carried) or cast spells, and may only speak in a whisper. The spell ends if they die.

Glyph of Warding

• (Power 3+, 10 minute ritual, touch, until triggered, uses 1 supply from a ritual kit)
• Trace a glyph on an object or surface (a region up to 10' in diameter). A warded object must remain in place; if it moves more than 10' from where it was warded, the spell ends. The glyph glitters faintly and will be overlooked without magical senses or careful inspection.
• Decide what triggers the spell, such as touching / walking on / handling the surface or object, approaching within a certain distance, opening a container or door, seeing the glyph, etc. The condition may include obvious traits, such as creature type, etc. You may set keys or passwords that will prevent triggering.
• Choose 1:
  • Blast: explodes in a 20' radius, dealing (Power+1)d6 damage (fire, frost, acid, necrotic, thunder, etc; chosen upon casting), Dex save for half.
  • Spell: binds another spell effect into the glyph (must affect a single target or area, which will be cast from the glyph's position). You must be able to cast the spell, or cast this in tandem with another caster who can. The stored spell will be cast with the glyph's Power, and you must predetermine any choices involved in the spell.

Greater Image

• (Power 0+, 1 action, 60', conc (10 min))
• The Power used determines its possibilities (includes any lower traits you wish):
  • Power 0: 5' cube, choose 1:
    • Create a sound (up to a scream in volume); either a persistent sound or controlled by you during the duration.
    • Create a still, visual-only illusion up to a 5' cube in size. Physical contact reveals it to be false and intangible (making it faint, as below). Visual illusions can't emit light.
  • Power 1: 15' cube
    • Visual illusions can be up to a 15' cube and can emit light. If in range, as an action, you can control and adjust the illusion, even moving the volume affected within range.
  • Power 2: may produce both sights and sounds at the same time.
  • Power 3: 20' cube, 120' range, may produce smell and temperature as well.
  • Power 5: 30' cube, indefinite
    • (25 gp of ritual materials) up to 10 minutes of triggered, programmable behavior; can dispel at the end or reset and be triggered 10 minutes later.
• If in range, as an action you can control and adjust the illusion, even moving the volume affected within range.
• Sensory impressions can't be so extreme as to cause harm or true affliction (stenches can't cause nausea, heat / cold can't harm, sound can't deafen, light can't blind).
• An observer who scrutinizes the illusion for an action can make a Wits save to perceive through the illusion. If successful, it becomes a faint version of itself, easily perceived through. Physical contact also reveals its illusory, intangible nature.

Haste

• (Power 3, 1 action, 120', conc (1 min))
• Choose 1:
  • (30' range) A willing creature gains 2x Speed, +2 defense, +A on Dex saves, and an extra action each turn.
    • This action can't be used to multi-attack and the subject is still prevented from more than 1 spell casting / magic item activation and 1 cantrip casting per turn.
    • When the spell ends, the subject is Stunned until the end of their next turn, overcome by lethargy.
  • Time runs at double speed within a 10' diameter sphere. On casting, the volume can be halved repeatedly, each time doubling the rate of flow. Only inanimate objects and forces are affected, and only if the majority of them is within the sphere. Fast time does not increase the energy of forces, just their rate of progress (a falling stone does not hit harder, a flame consuming fuel twice as fast is no hotter).
  • Dispel (as Dispel Magic) a hindering or slowing effect.

Hibernate

• (Power 3, Power x 30 minutes, 1 action, touch)
• A willing or captive creatures is placed in a death-like torpor. All life functions cease, it does not breath, age, or think. It is resistant to damage, and the progress of poison, disease, decay, bleeding, etc is suspended. The effect can be ended early by the caster's touch. At the end of the effect, the creature returns to consciousness and is Stunned for 1d4 rounds. Power 5 (10 min casting, +500 gp of ritual materials) causes the effect to last until dispelled, woken by the caster, or until a condition named by the caster is met (something a normal observer could recognize as having occurred).

Life Transference

• (Power 3+, 1 action, self, conc (1 min)
• Upon casting, and each turn as an action, you may choose 1:
  • Make an unarmed melee attack to touch a living creature and deal health damage, up to (Power)d6, healing half this amount. If your touch kills the creature, you can heal Life.
    • You can wither mundane plant-life with your touch, but its vitality is not strong enough to heal you.
  • You may choose to transfer a disease, poison, or other non-innate biological malady (but not wounds) from the target to yourself. Carry any save successes or failures in the malady's progression over to yourself.
  • Touch a living creature and choose how many dice of damage to take, up to (Power)d6, and healing them that amount. You may choose to take some of the dice to Life, and heal an equal amount of Life.
    • If you kill yourself this way, you can restore life to a subject who has been dead for up to a day (usual side-effects and Tampering With Mortality apply).

Orb of Shelter

• (Power 3, 1 minute, self, 10' radius, 12 hours)
• Projects a stationary 10' radius sphere of energy around you, half of which is usually projecting beneath the ground or through the floor beneath you.
  • Within, the environment is a pleasant and dry, and the air is clear and fresh. The interior is illuminated or dimmed at your command. Looking out, the sphere is transparent, but is opaque from outside.
  • Anything dealing less than 20 damage is excluded (use your Spirit save against effects if necessary), as well as non-damaging effects. Anything dealing more is absorbed, but the spell ends.
  • You can grant and revoke passage through the sphere. If you leave it, the spell ends.

Phantom Steed

• (Power 3+, 1 minute, 30', 1 hour, dismiss (action))
• Conjure a semi-real steed of obvious otherworldly nature.
• It is equivalent to a riding horse, but has Speed 100 and is tireless, able to cover 16 miles (1 hex) in an hour. It obeys you and anyone you command it to.
  • Power 4: the steed can run over infirm ground (mud, snow) as if it were solid.
  • Power 5: the steed can run over water and other liquids as if they were solid.
• If slain, or at the end of the duration, it evaporates into nothing over the course of 1 minute. It either has ephemeral tack and harness, or else does not require them.

Protection from Elements

• (Power 3, conc (1 hour), 1 action, touch)
• The subject has resistance to a named source of damage (fire, frost, acid).

Revivify

• (Power 3, instant, 1 "living" creature, touch, 300 gp of ritual materials)
• You restore life to a creature that has died within the last minute whose soul is at liberty. They have 0 hp and retain any Wounds and Life damage. It can't restore those dead of old age and does not return missing body parts.
• The subject makes a Spirit save, DC 6. If failed, they must roll for Tampering With Mortality.

Scrying

• (Power 3+, 10 minutes, self, conc (10 min); requires a 100 gp focus such as a mirror, orb, jewel, etc into which the vision is projected)
• Up to 1 mile away, conjure a scrying sensor through which you can see and hear, naming a specific creature or place. A creature may Spirit save to repel the scrying, shielding it for 24 hours. A place can be targeted by sight, dead reckoning, or arcane connection. The spell can be blocked by extremely dense matter or magical wards. The sensor follows a creature if it moves.
  • Familiarity: second-hand (+5 to save; seen distantly, know the name of, described according to a set of criteria such as "the orc leader"), first-hand (+0 to save; have been in the presence of), well-known (-5 to save; quite familiar).
  • Arcane Connection: none (+0 to save), likeness (-2 to save; a good picture or evocative description from one to whom it's well-known), object (-4 to save; a non-transient possession, garment, etc), portion (-10 to save; blood, hair, etc).
  • +1 Power: you can reach up to 10 miles, or up to 100 miles with a 1000 gp focus.
  • +2 Power, 1000 gp focus: you can scry anywhere within the plane.

Sending

• (Power 3+, 1 action, unlimited, 1 round)
• You speak a message up to (Power x 10) words, which are carried to a named creature with whom you are familiar. The creature hears the words in its mind, in your voice, and may respond promptly with a similarly constrained reply. If the creature is on another plane, there is a (6-Power)-in-6 chance the message does not reach them.

Slow

• (Power 3, 1 action, 120', conc (1 min))
• Choose 1:
  • Up to 6 targets within 40' of one another must Spirit save or suffer 1/2x Speed, -2 defense, +D on Dex saves, and be Dazed. A target cannot make more than one attack per turn, even if it normally could with an action. Spells with a casting time of 1 bonus or 1 action have a 50% chance of requiring a matching action on the following turn to complete them. The Spirit save can be repeated at the end of each turn to throw off the effects.
  • Time runs at half speed within a 10' diameter sphere, or the volume can be halved repeatedly, each time halving the rate of flow. Only inanimate objects and forces are affected, and only if the majority of them is within the sphere (e.g. a 10 lb rock falling would be affected, but a person jumping aside would not. A huge boulder larger than the area of effect would not be affected).
  • Dispel (as Dispel Magic) a speeding effect.

Speak with Dead

• (Power 3, 10 min, 1 minute, self)
• You grant speech to a corpse (which must at least include a skull / seat of consciousness) or a spirit present in the area. A corpse knows no more than it did in life, and can't form new memories, speculate on the future, etc. A spirit might. They are not compelled to be truthful, helpful, etc, though most won't be malicious unless inclined to it by personality, dislike of you, etc. You may be able to trick, cajole, or bargain with them, perhaps using burial or addressing unfinished business as leverage.

Speak with Plants

• (Power 3, 10 min, 1 action, self)
• You can communicate with plants within 30' of you. Normal plants have a decent memory of the last day, but only recall major events prior to that, and without much accuracy about the passage of time. You can ask plants to shift--clearing or creating difficult terrain, bending somewhat, directing their growth in certain directions, bending a limb--but their abilities are limited, and they cannot uproot or move quickly. Ordinary plants readily do as you ask; malign or monstrous plants do as they wish.

Stinking Cloud

• (Power 3, 1 action, 90', conc (1 min))
• Conjure a 20' radius cloud of thick, stinking vapors, heavily obscuring the area. Creatures that start their turn in the cloud must Vigor save against poison or be Incapacitated and Poisoned for the turn, reeling and retching. Moderate or stronger wind can cut the duration by half or more.

Warding Circle

• (Power 3, 1 hour (Pow 3) / 8 hours (Pow 4) / 24 hours (Pow 5), 1 minute, range 10')
• Create a glowing ring 10' radius, projecting a 20' high cylindrical effect. Supernatural beings (unless you grant access to individual or a type, during casting) must Spirit save or cannot cross the circle. Magical movement (teleportation, spirit walking, etc) cannot enter the circle. Targets within the circle are protected as by Spirit Ward. When cast, you can invert the circle, so that supernatural beings and magical travel can't leave it (rather than enter it), and those outside are protected from those within.
• If cast on a permanently prepared circle once a week for a month, the spell lasts indefinitely.

acks - prot from evil, sustained - prot from norm missiles - animal growth - striking

5e - bestow curse? - fear - hypnotic pattern - nondetection - plant growth + wall of thorns? - meld into stone - call lightning? - conjure animals - sleet storm - wind wall

xan - enemies abound? - flame arrows - tidal wave - summon lesser demons - tiny servant - wall of sand

Power 4

Arcane Eye

• (Power 4, 1 action, self, conc (1 hour))
• Conjures an invisible eye with normal vision and 30' darkvision. As an action, you can move it up to 30', with no range limit, save that it can't leave the plane you are on. 1" in diameter and able to pass through small openings. When you will, you are blind to your own senses and can see through the eye (also benefiting from any perceptual effect on you, or perception spells you can cast (detect magic, true seeing, etc).

Death Ward

• (Power 4, 1 action, touch, 24 hours)
• While warded, the subject has +A on collapse rolls from Wounds, and immediately stabilizes if subject to a Bleeding Out wound.
• The following events are affected, but end the spell.
  • If dropping to 0 Life, drop to 1 Life instead. If subject to a lethal Wound (death, dead adventurer walking), no Wound is taken. Both of these can be prevented simultaneously before the spell ends.
  • If reaching 60+ Fatigue, Fatigue stops at 59 and any ongoing Fatigue gain from poison, spells, etc is ended.
  • If subjected to an instant death effect, the effect is negated. The subject makes any saves to prevent it normally; the ward only acts if necessary.

Find the Path

• (Power 4, self)
• You specify a person (by name or arcane connection), place (by name, arcane connection, or having seen it in person or through scrying), or type of destination (by an immediately recognizable quality; "a cave", but not "the lair of a troll"; you are led to the closest match).
• You may cast simply or bind the spell to an oracle focus (tarot cards, runestones, etc) worth 100 gp.
  • Simple (1 action, 1 mile, 10 min): if the destination moves, the guidance updates. You are led by subtle pulls and intuition.
  • Oracle (1 minute, within the same plane of existence, 24 hours): the destination is locked in upon casting, so if the subject moves (such as a ship, encampment, or person), you are led to where it was at the time.
    • When you consult the oracle during your travels, it guides you toward the shortest, most direct, and traversable (but not necessarily safe) path to the destination, as well as giving you a rough estimate of how far away it is, and in what direction.
    • The spell will lead through secret doors (though it won't reveal or show how to open them). It will lead through unusual routes (through portals, via water travel, up a sheer cliff) if you give it permission during casting (e.g. if there is a short cut up a cliff, because you are an expert climber).

Geas

• (Power 4+, 1 minute, 30', 1 month or until completed)
• The subject(s) placed under a geas are bound to perform a task or refrain from a taboo behavior, as specified in the casting.
  • The spell may have one subject you designate, or it may bind an agreement between two subjects (one of whom may be the caster), who specify the terms.
    • Complex terms can be spelled out in a written contract, which becomes a focus for the spell. It is either retained by one party, or torn into a few pieces as part of the casting. If destroyed (all parts, if split), the geas lifts.
  • You must be able to clearly communicate with the subjects. Cleverness might be able to subvert the wording of the geas. The terms of the geas cannot force a subject to face certain death (either by the terms or within a given situation, though a situational lapse in compulsion does not end the spell).
  • The subject gains +A on any Spirit save against a compulsion, mundane or magical, that tries to dissuade them from following the geas. If magically compelled, this does not count as a violation of the geas if they return to following it when able.
  • A geas can be removed with Break Enchantment or a counter-use of this spell, but the it is considered to be +2 Power.
  • If the subject violates the geas or ceases expedient pursuit, they take 10 Drain per instance or day from illness and terrible dreams.
    • If they return to pursuing it, the Drain is removed after 1 day. In the case of a violation, they don't recover until they receive absolution, the exact form of which depends on the geas; it might be suitable religious penance, verbal acknowledgement from the caster or other party in a contract (probably after some reparation), or the reversal of the violating act, such as returning a stolen item.
  • The subject(s) must voluntarily accept the geas without any immediate compulsion (mind control / charm, torture or threat of violence), though they might lack full comprehension of what they're agreeing to.
    • +1 Power: the geas can be imposed on an unwilling subject, who may Spirit save to resist.
      • If they succeed, you cannot try again for 1 month. If they roll a natural 20, you can never impose a geas on them, and you must Spirit save or suffer a backlash of Fate, binding you in some fashion (perhaps the geas you tried to impose, an inverse, or something unrelated).
    • +1 Power: an open-ended geas lasts for a year and a day.
    • +2 Power: an open-ended geas lasts forever.

Secret Chest

• (Power 4+, 1 action, 5', instant)
• Construct a chest or casket of rare materials (1000 gp, weights and holds Power x 10 slots) and a matching miniature (50 gp, light). Enchant the pair with this spell.
• While holding the miniature, as a cantrip (1 action), you can touch the chest and send it to the Astral, or recall it to a point in arms reach.
  • If the chest stays in the Astral continuously for more than 2 months, there is a cumulative +5% chance per month (max 25%) that the chest becomes lost there, or that something tampers with it, adding or removing items.

Stoneshape *

• (Power 4+, 1 action, ???, ???)
• TBD
• includes transmute stone-to-mud / mud-to-stone, large scale Move Earth

Teleport

• (Power 4+, 1 action, self and/or one willing / captive / inanimate subject of up to Large size w/in 10', 500', instant)
• Subjects are are teleported to a destination in range, along with anything they are wearing and carrying. You can specify the destination by dead reckoning, direct sight (normal or scrying), or by using an arcane connection (most expire after ~6 months) linked to the place. If the destination is occupied by solid matter, you will shunt up to 10' into a clear space, taking 2d6 damage. If this still isn't enough, the spell fails entirely. Trying to enter regions warded against dimensional travel may also cause the spell to fail, usually without harm.
  • (10 min ritual) You draw and enchant a circle of up to 10' diameter which is linked to a destination waypoint anywhere on the same plane. When completed, it opens a portal to the waypoint for 1d6 rounds.
    • Waypoints are beacons that aid dimensional travel. They can be naturally occurring, but most are created. Each has a unique glyph-key that can be worked into the casting of teleportation. This key can be discerned by studying a waypoint for 10 minutes, or Opening Your Mind with Second Sight. To create a waypoint, cast Teleport as a ritual upon a permanent, prepared location (carved circle, standing stone, etc) each week for a year. The location must be immobile, relative to the world (not on a ship, etc). Natural waypoints might move, activate only at certain times of year, etc.
  • +1 Power (unlimited range w/in the same plane, up to (caster level) subjects) If you don't have a destination waypoint or arcane connection to the location, roll outcome based on your familiarity with the destination.
    • Familiarity (d20)
      • Very Familiar (home, sanctum): 1 (mishap), 2-3 (similar), 4-5 (off target), 6-20 (on target)
      • Familiar (visited repeatedly, recently scryed or currently visible): 1-3 (mishap), 4-5 (similar), 6-9 (off target), 10-20 (on target)
      • Seen Once (visited once, scryed in the past, have a detailed location description / map): 1-5 (mishap), 6-7 (similar), 8-14 (off target), 15-20 (on target)
      • False Destination (place doesn't actually exist, ever or presently): 1-10 (mishap), 11-20 (similar)
    • Outcome
      • On Target: you arrive where you intended.
      • Off Target: you arrive displaced in a random direction from your intended destination by (1d10 x 1d10)% of the distance traveled (e.g. 3 x 5 = 15%, for a 100 mile journey = 15 miles).
      • Similar Area: you arrive in a visually or thematically similar place (e.g. another wizard's lab instead of you own).
      • Mishap: you arrive somewhere strange (another plane, etc), suffer harm or affliction, a planar entity hitchhikes with you, or other strangeness (reroll outcome again until you arrive).
  • +1 Power (may travel to other planes) Requires a planar waypoint as a destination, unless combined with unlimited range. If used in ritual form, it can establish planar waypoints.

Wall of Fire

• (Power 4+, 1 action, 120', 10 min (dismiss))
• Conjure a wall of flame up to (Power-1) x 20' long, leaping up to 20' high, and 1' thick.
  • It must be contiguous, but can have bends or angles (a 60' wall formed into a ring would be ~20' in diameter). It does not need to rest on a solid surface, but hangs in the air where placed.
  • It sheds bright light for 60', with 60' of dim light beyond that. The wall obstructs vision but is intangible (though most objects passing through are likely to be incinerated or buffeted by furnace winds).
  • When summoned, you may decide to have it radiate intense heat for 10' on one side, neither, or both.
• Things passing through the flame take (Power+1)d6 fire damage. Those that end their turn within the zone of intense heat take a similar amount of damage. It is possible to take both of these amounts in one turn.
  • The wall takes a moment to form and those in its direct path can leap to one side or the other before it engulfs them.

Wall of Ice

• (Power 4+, 1 action, 120', 10 min (dismiss))
• Conjure a 1' thick wall of ice composed of up to (Power x 2) 10' x 10' panels.
  • It must be contiguous, but can have bends or angles. Once formed, it is subject to gravity, but could be shaped to form a bridge or slope, cover a hole, etc, as long as it has adequate support.
  • You may choose upon casting whether the ice should be opaque or clear enough to only slightly distort vision.
  • Each panel has (Power x 6) hp. It is resistant to piercing and acid damage, and immune to frost. Smaller holes can be punched with less total but more focused damage.
  • A chill sheet of air fills breaches. Those passing through take 2d6 frost (Vigor save for half).
  • The wall takes a moment to form and those in its direct path can leap to one side or the other (if they stand their ground, it will grow around them, inflicting harms as if in a breach each turn.
  • When dismissed or ended, the wall sublimates over the course of a few of minutes.

Power 5

Restore Life and Limb

• (Power 5, 1 hour ritual, 1000 gp of ritual materials, touch, instant)
• Restores the subject's body to wholeness, regrowing limbs, mending scars, purging poison and disease, etc. It does not affect spiritual, magical, or mental afflictions, except where they stem from organic damage. It can even remove congenital defects, but not restore the effects of natural aging.
• If the subject's soul is free to return, the dead can be revived. This has risks, and requires a roll for Tampering With Mortality.
  • The better the subject's Spirit and the caster's level, the lower the risks. The older and/or less complete the body, the riskier it becomes. Performing the ritual outside of a suitably prepared ritual space (sanctum, temple, etc) also increases the risk. Powerful Sacraments or Fonts of Power, or the aid of additional powerful casters, can aid the roll.
  • The undead, once restrained or "slain", can be restored to life (with a normal Tampering roll) or laid to rest (without a roll).

Wall of Force

• (Power 5+, 1 action, 120', 10 min (dismiss))
• Conjure a faintly translucent 1/4-inch thick wall of force composed of up to (Power x 2) 10' x 10' panels.
• Panels must be contiguous, but can have bends or angles. It does not need to rest on a solid surface, but hangs in the air where placed, in any orientation. It can be formed into cylinders, spheres, or hemispheres.
• The wall is indestructible and blocks incorporeal and extradimensional movement. It resists dispelling as if +2 Power. Disintegrate and Power 5 effects that deal spirit damage have a 50% chance of dispelling it.
• The wall takes a moment to form and those in its direct path can leap to one side or the other.
