Bardic tradition

:Bardic_Tradition

   The Bardic tradition is seemed in the ancient European concepts of

musicians and performing poets who weave magics thru song, music, dance

and couplet. Their magics are often subtle, manipulating emotions and

thoughts more than the physical world.

   Prerequisite Skills:

            At least One Musical Instrument

            Reading/Writing

            Singing

 

   Suggested Optional Skills:

            Dancing

            Juggling

            Streetwise

            Voice Mimicry

            Ventriloquism

            Ancient Language

            Modern Language

   Casting Rules & Restrictions:

            -20% if not able to sing vocally in casting

            -10% if not able to play musical instrument in casting

            -10% if caster cannot hear

            -10% if target is alive and cannot hear song/music

            +10% if other musician playing instrument in accompaniment

                 (this compounds with additional musicians)

            +20% if able to dance while casting (Dance adds 2 rnds 

                 to the casting time on all spells though).

            When performing and NOT casting the bard recovers 

                 energy as if from two hours of sleep per hour of

                 playing their instrument. (Special Recovery).

            CANNOT HANG SPELLS in this tradition

            CANNOT BE A TOKEN MAGE in this tradition

            Cannot Learn Draconian Tradition

:Age_Alcohol

    COST   : 5

    MODS   : R

This spell magically ages Alcohol. The standard durations are not used

for this spell. Each point put into Duration adds 6 months to the age

(and thus fermentation level). Upto 4 gallons +1/Rank can be aged with

this spell.

:Animate_Object

    COST   : 7

    MODS   : D,R,T

By means of this spell an inanimate object becomes animate and under the

command of the caster. The object will move at about 5' per round unless

it is something designed for movement (ex: A wagon, wheelbarrow etc).

Objects animated in this way cannot fight, but may block an attack by

interceding. They are imbued only with enough intelligence to obey the

instruction by the caster (ex: an animated broom can sweep the floor,

but knows nothing about making tea). One of the common ways of using

this is to cast it on a scarecrow or other such humanoid appearing form

so that a wider range of commands are possible. The animated beings

cannot perform a task that the caster has no knowledge of or cannot

perform themselves - ex: an animated mannequin instructed to make dinner

by the caster could cook no better than the person that created it. They

cannot hold or manipulate magical energy in any way.

:Apprentice_Link_Ritual

    COST   : 20

    MODS   : N

This spell is used to link a spellcaster with an apprentice or trusted

companion or follower over a long period of time. It creates a linking

so that they can speak (as under a Mind_Speech* spell), and so they can

transfer energy at will (The CASTER of the Apprenticeship spell controls

the flow and can take energy from the apprentice at will or bestow such

to them at will) over any distance. The spell effects work THRU a

Pentagram unhindered as well, despite its lack of ranks. The caster can

also cast Spells upon the Apprentice at any time despite the distance as

if they were in TOUCH range.

   This spell cannot be cast on an unwilling target.

Unlike a normal Spell, the duration on this one is always exactly one

year and a day.

:Awaken 

 

    COST   : 3

    MODS   : R,T

This spell will wake a character (or characters) to full alertness

instantaneously. Each being that may be awakened must be named in the

spell when cast.

:Banishment

    COST   : 25

    MODS   : R

Cast at a being from another plane, this spell forces them to return

instantly to their plane and the subject cannot return to this one

without being summoned back. The Target DOES get a Magic saving throw.

Fails against creatures native to the plane.

:Beauty

    COST   : 3

    MODS   : D,R

This spell is cast upon a being of sentience only. It enhanced their

Cosmetic Base magically for the duration by 10 points. It is often used

by Female Mages to enhance their natural 'talents'.

Unlike 'Friends' it does NOT directly influence others and thus has no

detrimental effects, or concepts of deception.

     Additional RANKS add 1 to the gained points.

:Breeze_Call

     COST   : 3

     MODS   : D,R

Causes a swirling breeze to arise from around the person of the caster

which will blow in a set direction. It drives away gases and minuses 5%

from chances to hit by missile weapons while active. Range is how far

out from the cast that the breeze's effects will occur.

:Bubbles_Of_Euphoria

    COST   : 15

    MODS   : D,R

This spell summons or generates some giant 'soap bubbles' that will

float around the area where they were ranged to. Those within the area

must save vs Coordination each round of the effect to avoid touching and

bursting one of the bubbles. If they fail and touch one it bursts, and

releases a strange gas effect on them - because of its nature it WILL

bypass a minor globe of invulnerability and it will work on a being with

magic resistance. The gas causes a feeling of Euphoria in the being,

which will make them smile and laugh at foolish things. This will

distract mages who are spellcasting, even those with IRONMIND spells

active, reducing their chance to cast by 25%, and it will reduce any

resistances to sleep, charm or non-damaging spells by this same amount.

The effect of the Euphoria lasts for the duration.

   Area of effect is a 20' radius from the range point, and the caster

CAN be affected by their own spell in this case if they cast it in too

confined an area! Each additional rank adds 10' to the radius.

:Calm_Animals

      COST   : 3

      MODS   : D,R

This causes animals in a radius out to the range of the spell, to be

calmed and placid. This can stop a stampede, prevent an attack or simply

prevent easily startled or 'watch' animals from reacting to the presence

of the caster and/or others in the area for the duration. This area of

calm moves with the caster, and animals outside the area will return to

normal reactions.

   Multiple TARGETS are not used as an option on this spell since it is

an area affect.

:Cause_Fear

      COST   : 10

      MODS   : D,R

This causes all beings (humanoid and animal) in a radius from the caster

at range to have to save vs Magic on a fear effect. If they fail they

will flee (if possible) or cower unoffensively for the duration of the

effect.

:Charm_Animal

    COST   : 5

    MODS   : D,R,T

This spell allows the caster to charm a target animal to become a

faithful and fairly obedient pet. It will follow SIMPLE commands (Sit,

Stay, Attack, Follow, Heel) but does not share a telepathic link or full

understanding of everything the caster may say. Lasts till duration ends

and then will wander away.

:Charm_Person

   COST   : 10

   MODS   : D,R,T

This spell affects any single person it is cast upon. The term person

includes bipedal human, demi human, or humanoid of man-size or smaller,

such as dwarves, elves, humans and others.

   The spell recipient regards the caster as a trusted friend and ally

to be heeded and protected.  The spell does not enable the caster to

control the charmed creature as if it were an automaton, but any word or

action of the caster is viewed in the most favorable way.  Thus,  person

would not obey a suicide command, but he might believe the caster if

assured that the only chance to save the caster is to hold back an

on-rushing dragon "just for a round or two".  Note also that the spell

does not endow the caster with linguistic capabilities beyond those he

normally possesses (i.e., he must speak the victim's language to

communicate ).

   They get a save vs Magic when it is initially cast. Additional Ranks

lower their saving throw by 1 Point.

:Charm_Undead

   COST  :  7

   MODS  :  D,R,T

This spell will automatically CHARM any normal form of Undead (Ghost,

Spectre, Wraith etc) and place it under the casters control for the

duration - It reverts to original controller when spell ends. It can

also work on intelligent undead, like Ghosts and even Vampires, But they

get their Intuition to defend with at casting and will not do anything

FATAL to themselves while under orders knowingly (you can't for instance

order a Vampire to run themselves thru on a stake, but could order them

not to bite you and your companions). Note a Vampire or Ghost who has

been Charmed and is released is likely to look for revenge....

:Cleanliness

   COST   : 3

   MODS   : D,R,T

This spell is cast upon cloth, either uncut or finished clothing. It

enhances the natural properties of the cloth, making it wrinkle-proof,

stain-proof and unable to become dirty or soiled in any way (Such will

roll or fall off). It dries in minutes and is in every way superior.

:Cloudburst

     COST   : 10 

     MODS   : D,R

This causes rain to fall in a radius of the RANGE of the spell at a rate

of 1 inch per minute, soaking everything within the area, extinguishing

fires, preventing most fire spells, etc. It only works outside.

:Cloud_Of_Slumber

   COST   : 10

   MODS   : D,R

This spell creates a cloud of invisible gas in 10 cubic area/rank. Any

Living creatures within the Cloud must save each round while in it or

collapse asleep for an hour. The caster is NOT affected.

:Color_Spray

   COST   : 5

   MODS   : R

Upon casting this spell, the bard causes a vivid, fan-shaped spray of

clashing colors to spring forth from his hand. Creatures within the area

are affected in order of increasing distance from the wizard.  All are

entitled to a saving throw vs. Intuition.  Blind or unseeing creatures

are not affected by this spell.

   Creatures failing saving are struck unconscious for 1d10 rounds.

Range will determine the maximum range from Caster that creatures can be

to be affected.

:Complex_Illusion

     COST   : 15

     MODS   : D,R

This spell is the most advanced of the Phantasmal Force style illusions.

This illusion will affect EVERY sense of those experiencing it and will

appear to even inflict damage if it is a damage causing thing that is

being projected - but a being that things its been killed/destroyed will

merely fall unconscious for 1d10 + Rank rounds and then will revive with

no damage from the illusion. A being who has been so knocked out will

NOT be affected by the illusion a second time.

Complex illusions will move as ordered by the caster within range, and

will otherwise stay put unmoving until dispelled or destroyed. Thus an

illusion of a brick wall will last until the duration is ended...

Casters are NOT affected by their own illusion.

:Control_Elemental

   COST   : 5

   MODS   : D,R

Allows the caster to control an elemental within range for the duration,

forcing it to completely and unquestionably obey any order it is given.

This allows the caster to manipulate the existing winds in the area

(radius effect equal to the purchased range), changing their direction

or lowering or increasing intensity by 10 MPH/Rank. Winds of 50 MPH or

greater require Coordination rolls to remain standing in for others (but

not the caster). Winds of 70 MPH or higher begin to cause structural

damage. Winds of 100 MPH or greater can collapse buildings and other

structures of wood.

:Cure_Disease

   COST   : 15

   MODS   : D,R,T

This will eliminate most normal and magical diseases and infections and

their symptoms from a living body. It does not cure poisons or produce

and produce that amount of light that move as the caster desires. The

spell winks out if they are moved beyond the range. If targeted they can

be made to follow around a target being to provide light, so long as

within range. Additional Ranks add 1 additional light to the rolled

amount.

:Depression

      COST    : 10

      MODS    : D,R

This inflicts a dismal philosophy upon the targets, making them all

realize that death is inevitable no matter how much they struggle and

that everything they do will not really matter in the long term. This

depression will reduce all their skills by 20% to succeed while active.

:Detect_Emotions

      COST   : 1

      MODS   : R

This allows the caster to know the general emotional state of all the

individuals within the radius range area effect.

Similar to Depression, but aimed at the hearts of those within hearing

distance that are not playing with the caster. Dirge lowers the ability

of others to save against spells and all other attacks, reducing

everyone's saving throws by 5% per rank of the caster (Max of 10 ranks).

:Discord

   COST   : 5

   MODS   : R

Cast upon a single target, the discord has no effect upon a mundane.

Upon a Mage who is NOT a bard it does 1d10 of damage (They do get a

chance to save against the effect and if successful receive no damage).

Upon another Bard though this spell has a very different effect : They

take, unless saved against 1d10 + 1/rank damage from the effect (No

armour ABS except magical) and if presently casting or playing they must

make a save again vs Mind alone or the spell will cause their playing to

go astray (in the case of casting this means they were interrupted and

must start again).

   MODS   : R

This will cancel ANY illusionary effect instantly and finally.

:Dispel_Magic

   COST   : 7

   MODS   : D,R

will prevent the items magic from functioning for the duration of the

spell being canceled, but then the item will turn back on until its

duration is up. It will NOT send away a summoned creature, undo a

healing spell or cause harm to a magical creature directly. Unwilling

targets get a Save vs Magic against Dispel

Note that in many cases you need several ranks of dispell to affect

a spell that was itself cast at a higher rank.

:Dispel_Silence

    COST   : 5

    MODS   : D,R

When cast, this spell automatically dispels any magical silence within

its area of effect. Furthermore, no silence spell will have effect

maximum range at a 60 degree angle. Skeletons, Zombies, Ghouls, and

their audience in the radius range area of effect. The audience will

feel emotionally drained after the casting, but the caster will gain a

special factor so that all their spells are +1 rank per 10 persons in

the audience and anyone they cast on who was in the audience is -10/rank

of the caster to all their saves against any spells cast by the Bard

afterwards. These effects last for 1 hour per rank of this spell after

the casting.

In its process it NEGATES all emotion control or manipulating spells

that were active before the casting on members of the audience.

smell, but not substance. The enhanced Phantasmal Force can cover a 10'

x 10' x 10' area at the stated range per RANK and can move anywhere from

that range to the caster as the caster chooses. While working this spell

the caster cannot cast another spell (but may prepare one) or engage in

HTH combat except defensively. If the caster moves the Force will remain

always within range of the caster. Upon casting another spell the Force

      MODS    : R

With this spell the caster can force any shapechanger (even a

changeling) or polymorphed creature to instantly revert to their true

form (or most commonly used form). If the target is a natural

shapechanger then they DO get a save vs Magic to avoid the effect -

there is no Save vs those who are polymorphed. The target cannot change

form again for 1d10 + 1/Rank Rnds even if they saved against the spell.

:Friends

   COST   : 3

   MODS   : D

A friends spell causes the wizard to temporarily gain 2d10 points of

Cosmetics Base.  Intelligent creatures around the caster and meeting

him/her must make immediate reaction checks based on the character's new

Appearance.   Those with favorable reactions tend to be very impressed

with the spellcaster and make an effort to be his friends and help him,

as appropriate to the situation.  Officious bureaucrats might decide to

become helpful; surely gate guards might wax informative; attacking orcs

might spare the caster's life, taking him captive instead.  When the

spell wears off, the creatures realize that they have been influenced,

and their reactions are determined by the GM.

:Gossamer_Axe

   COST   : 7

   MODS   : D

Cast upon a guitar or any other stringed instrument, it enhances the

effectiveness of the instrument for a tool of magic. Any Bard using the

time the recipient's body is working at an accelerated rate to heal

itself and it will heal 3d10 of wounds. There is NO way to bring the

hour each (Max of 5 ranks) and add 1 to the healing total.

:Hold_People

     COST    : 15

     MODS    : D, R

Magic save where they stand. They stay such for the duration and cannot

insects to gather around and swarm upon the target in a thick cloud. The

insects obscure vision limiting it to 10'. Spellcasting inside of the

cloud is at a -50% due to the distractions and complications. Creatures

within the cloud receive 1d10 damage each round inside the cloud due to

numerous bites and stings, with NO armour assistance (normal OR magical)

and the insects count as +1 vs magical creatures that can only be hit by

magic weapons. Invisiblility is nullified by this effect as well.

have wandered out of the Plague of insects.

spells and normal weapons, but can absorb all damage until it hits its

limit, which is 100 points per RANK of the spell.

:Leprechaun's_Luck

    COST   : 5

    MODS   : D,R,T

Cast on the caster or another, this instills magically enforced luck

upon them. Thus the character gets a +5% per RANK added to ALL their

saving throws made vs a stat for the duration.

:Light

    COST   : 5

    MODS   : D,R

This spell creates a luminous glow, equal to torchlight, within a radius

of the spell's center.  Objects in darkness beyond this sphere can be

seen, at best, as vague and shadowy shapes.  The spell is centered on a

point selected by the caster, and he must have a line of sight and

unobstructed path for the spell when it is cast.  Light can spring from

air, rock, metal, wood, or almost any similar substance.

   The effect is immobile unless it is specifically centered on a

movable object or mobile creature.  If this spell is cast upon a

creature, an Magic save roll is made.  Light taken into an area of

magical darkness does not function, but if cast directly against magical

darkness negates it (but only for the duration of the light spell, if

the darkness effect is longer).

   Light centered on the visual organs of a creature blinds it, reducing

its Coordination to 1 Unless it has Blind fighting skills. The caster

can end the spell at any time by uttering a single word.

:Mage_Road

   COST   : 30

   MODS   : N

This spell can ONLY be cast upon an existing road or path and will

affect 1 mile per rank of the caster OR until the end of the path,

whichever comes first.

It magically paves the road and will keep it clear of plant life that

might otherwise grow upon it. It will also set up a field along the

road, extending about 10' to either side of the roads boundary, which

will drive away non-sentient creatures unless they are brought to the

road by a sentient.

The road will not be affected by weather, and any participation upon it

will run off to the sides magically (Snow melts and runs off instantly,

rain just runs off etc).  The road will allow travelers on vehicles to

move three times their normal distance upon its surface.

The road cannot be dispelled and it is immune to most magical attack

forms (Fire, electricity, acid, and Polymorphs like PIT* ).

:Melodramatic_Music 

    COST   : 5

    MODS   : D,R

The spell causes the music to be played whenever the victim performs

certain actions; such as entering a room, charging into battle, or

making an announcement.

:Mind_Fog

   COST   : 20

   MODS   : D,R

This spell fills up a radius around the caster equal to the range, and

will reduce all Magic saves by others within that area by 10%. It

appears to be a light wispy fog. Additional RANKS reduce an additional

duration without conscious thought.

:Nullify_Magic

   COST   : 25

   MODS   ; D,R

This song is played to prevent all other magic spells in a radius out to

the RANGE around the caster for the duration. This way a Bard may

prevent any magic casting, item, device or active spell from

functioning. It works against nearly everything (save for spells being

cast at a GREATER rank then the rank he knows this spell at, and for

Alchemy based effects).

:Phantasmal_Force

    COST   : 3

    MODS   : D,R

This spell creates the illusion of any object, creature, or force, as

long as it is within the boundaries of the spell's area of effect, being

upto a 40 cubic feet in size per RANK of the Spell.

The illusion is visual and affects all believing creatures (undead are

immune) that view it. It does not create sound, smell, or temperature.

Effects that depend of these senses usually fail.  The illusion lasts

until struck by an opponent--unless the spellcaster causes the illusion

to react appropriately--or until the wizard ceases concentration upon

the spell (due to desire, moving, or a successful attack that causes

damage) or due to its duration ending.  Creatures that disbelieve the

illusion see it for what it is.  Creatures believing the illusion are

subject to its effects.

   The illusionary effect can be moved by the caster within the limits

of the area of effect. The GM has to rule on the effectiveness of this

spell.

:Plant_Animation

    COST   : 3

    MODS   : D,R

Allows the animation of any plant (including trees) and command of them

to act as the caster wishes. It does NOT allow plants to uproot their

bodies (except on tumbleweeds) but allows them to be used to grasp,

attack, etc. Lasts for the Duration.

:Protection_From_Spirits

      COST   : 5

      MODS   : D,R,T

This spell will protect the caster or subject target from all damage and

draining effects inflicted by a non-corporeal being, including wraiths,

ghosts, spectres, astrally projecting mages and the like for the

duration. Even spell effects used by any such creatures will fail to

work against the protected.

:Rainbow_Bridge

  

    COST   : 10

    MODS   : D,R

The caster creates with this a very visible rainbow to form a seven-hued

bridge up to 3' wide per RANK and at least 10' long (adding an optional

10' long per RANK the spell is known at) that can hold any weight upto

1000 LBS /RANK upon it to cross it as a normal bridge.

    The bridge fades away when the spell duration ends.

:Remove_Curse

    COST   : 20

    MODS   : D,R

   This removes ANY curse type spell on a being or item permanently.

:Remove_Fear

    COST   : 3

    MODS   : R,T

This removes the effects of ALL Fear spells and powers affecting a

being.

:Resist_Paralysis

    COST   : 3

    MODS   : D,R,T

For the duration of this spell, the recipient is immune to all forms of

paralysis, including gaze attacks, paralytic poison, and Hold spells,

but it does not negate paralysis already in effect.

:Reveal_Fae_Gate

   COST   : 25

   MODS   : D,R

This makes visible to all who look upon it any Fae Gate within Range of

the caster. It also opens such a gate wide for access by those on either

side and allows safe passage for them thru it.

Note that not all Fae gates are stable constructs, some shift about

based on the season or the year while others might exist but for a

single day.

:Safeguard

     COST   : 15

     MODS   : D,R

This spell is cast on a radial area from the caster and will remain in

that area after the caster has left it. All damage inflicting spells

cast or striking in that area will only have minimal effects, that is 1

point of damage per Die rolled.

:Sanctuary

    COST   : 7

    MODS   : D

This spell will allow the caster some level of protection in return for

non-hostile action. The caster cannot in any way, after casting this,

attack, perform hostile act upon or cast harmful magic upon anyone or

they cancel the spell.

While Sanctuary is in effect the caster is protected - anyone wishing to

take a hostile action against the caster must make a saving throw vs

Magic to target on the caster. The effect does NOT apply if the spell

being used is an area effect.

:Slaying_Song

    COST   : 30

    MODS   : R

This affect goes out in a radius of RANGE and affects ALL within that

range who fail to save. It does 2d10 + 1 point per rank damage with NO

armour absorbtion (magical or otherwise). It is a sound based attack

entirely and has NO SAVING THROW. Magic resistance will work though. It

can not reflected, absorbed, shielded or otherwise stopped.

:Sleepy_Song

    COST   : 3

    MODS   : D,R,T

When a wizard casts a sleep spell, he causes a comatose slumber to come

upon one or more creatures (other than undead and certain other

creatures specifically excluded from the spell's effects).  All

creatures to be affected by the sleep spell must be within 30 feet of

each other. The center of the area of effect is determined by the

spellcaster.

   Slapping or wounding awakens affected creatures but normal noise does

not. Awakening requires one entire round.  Magically sleeping opponents

can be attacked with substantial bonuses (Coordination 1)

:Speed

    COST   : 3

    MODS   : D,R,T

Allows the caster or subject beings to move consistently at maximum

speed. This means they will ALWAYS have top initiative in combat and

action.

:Spell_Shield

    COST   : 5

    MODS   : D,R,T

Places an auras around the caster or a target being that protects

against ALL damage causing spells aimed directly at them (Does not block

non-damaging spells or AREA EFFECTS), reducing their damage to MINIMAL -

so if a damage spell does 1d10 normally, it will only do 1 point of

damage on hitting.

:Spell_Singing

   

    COST   : 25

    MODS   : D

This spell takes much creativity and thought to use properly. It allows

the bard to tap their greatest potential. By choosing a normal song the

mage can produce an effect based on the song. PLAYER must state the song

and the GM must either be familiar with it or the player must be able to

recite, play or otherwise present the song to the GM.

Usage Example : Michael Row The Boat Ashore

This will, when used in a rowboat or near one, cause an Unseen servant

to row the boat towards the nearest shore.

Usage Example : The Gambler

This will instill on a chosen target being precognitive ability with

games of chance involving cards so that they will know when to bet, how

well and when to cease playing "Know when to Hold them, Know when to

fold them, know when to walk away, no when to run".

Again, creativity and versitility go together with this spell.

:Spell_Reflection

    COST   : 10

    MODS   : D,T

This places an auras around the caster or a target being that protects

from ALL spells cast directly at them that is single targeted by

reflecting the spell back to its source if an Intuition saving roll is

made successfully. If the source also has a Spell Reflection up it may

also bounce the same spell back again until one of the two fails its

save and is struck.

:Spirit_Ship

    COST   : 10

    MODS   : D,R

This creates a sailboat (capacity 4 persons) at the specified range that

will last for the duration and includes all needed equipment. It

vanishes when the spell expires.

The Spirit Ship cannot be used as a weapon.

:Summon_Aide

    COST   : 25

    MODS   : D

This is the quick summoning of creatures or beings that will serve the

caster in any capacity he/she can think of - the problem is that the

spell is NOT particular about what kind of aide it calls. That is it

will summon the best available aide available to the character for the

expended amount of energy. The resulting aide is RANDOM. This means it

may not be the best for the situation. Summoned creatures obey the

casters basic commands, but cannot carry out complex ideas unless the

caster speaks the same language. Ordering a wolf to attack works,

ordering a wolf to scout ahead and come back and tell what's around the

next bend in the road isn't possible. If sentients are summoned they

will remember the incident and will probably hold a grudge if they

survive (Folks don't like to be puppets), unless they are treated fairly

and reasonably.

Additional RANKS of this spell will improve the quality of the resulting

aide summoned by the spell.

:Summon_Soapbubbles

    COST   : 3

    MODS   : D,R

This spell will summon a large number of soapbubbles at any point within

range.  The soapbubbles may be mildly distracting, but they cause no

actual damage.  Someone who has heard of Bubbles_of_Euphoria*, but not

seen them, may mistake this spell for that one.  Conversely, someone

with experience with this spell may assume Bubbles_of_Euphoria* is a

varient of this one, the first time they see it.

:Taunt

    COST   : 5

    MODS   : D,R

A taunt spell enables the caster to jape and jeer effectively at a

single type of creature with Intelligence. The caster need not speak the

language of the creatures.  His words and sounds have real meaning for

the subject creature or creatures: challenging, insulting, and generally

irritating and angering the listeners.  Those failing to save vs. Magic

rush forth in fury to do battle with the spellcaster.  All affected

creatures attack the spellcaster in melee if physically capable of doing

so, seeking to use body or hand-held weapons rather than missile weapons

or spells. Separation of the caster from the victim by an impenetrable

or uncrossable boundary (a wall of fire, a deep chasm, a formation of

set pikemen) causes the spell to break.  If the caster taunts a mixed

group, he must choose the type of creature to be affected. If used in

conjunction with a ventriloquism spell, the creatures may attack the

apparent source, depending upon their Intelligence, a leader's presence,

and so on.

:Transfer_Energy

      COST   : 1

      MODS   : D,R,T

This allows mages to transfer energy to each other by choice. Those

involved MUST be willing. The being losing the energy decides how much

they transfer and to who. Energy cannot be transferred to a non-mage

being unless they are magical in nature. Only RAW energy *not HUNG

spells* can be transferred this way.

:UnParalyze

    COST   : 3

    MODS   : R,T

Restores movement to a person, no matter the cause of the Paralysis.

:Ventriloquism

    COST   : 1

    MODS   : D,R

This spell enables the wizard to make his voice--or someone else's

voice--or a similar sound seem to issue from someplace else, such as

from another creature, a statue, from behind a door, down a passage,

etc.  The spellcaster can speak in any language that he knows, or make

any sound he can normally make.  With respect to such voices and sounds,

anyone rolling a successful saving throw vs. Magic with a -5 penalty

detects the ruse.

If cast in conjunction with other illusions, the GM may rule greater

penalties or disallow an independent saving throw against this spell in

consideration of its contribution to the total effect of the combined

illusion.

   The Bard does NOT have minuses or pluses for music or dance with this

spell.

:Wall_of_Fog

    COST   : 5

    MODS   : D,R

By casting this spell, the wizard creates a billowing wall of vapors in

any area within the spell range.  The wall of fog obscures all sight,

normal and infravision, beyond two feet.  The caster may create less

vapor if he wishes.  The wall must be a roughly cubic or rectangular

mass, at least ten feet wide in its smallest dimension. Their duration

can be halved by a moderate wind, and they can be blown away by a strong

wind.

:Wall_Of_Sound

    COST   : 25

    MODS   : R

This wall is built of sonic force and will prevent passage thru it by

any physical being or attack. The wall is invisible but very audible and

can be heard easily. It will reduce any spells effect trying to pass

thru it by one rank per rank of the wall spell. It can be upto a 30' x

30' + 10'x10'/rank wall, but the creator cannot move out of range of it

or it will fade away.
