SPELLS

NOTES

LEARNING SPELLS

A character with magic levels may try to learn a spell if it is either taught at him (one week) or he reads it from spellbook (one day). The character cannot learn a spell with higher level than his magic level, divided by 3 (normal rounding). Thus, a first level magician cannot learn any spells (except little catrips, but they are not described here).

To learn a spell, a test must success. Add +1 for each mental attribute and +1 for each level the spell is under his maximum. If the test is unsuccesful, the character cannot try the spell until he has gained a new magic level.

When a new character is created, all spells selected are automatically learned, excpet for the highest level ones. For them, a successful test must be made. Those not learned can be replaced with other spells.

There is no limit to number of spells the character may have in his mind. Note that some creatures may cause loss of memories...

MAGIC RESISTANCE

When a spell is cast it is usually magic until transformed into a pure energy. Thus, a creature or item which is immune to magic is immune to any spell directed at it, unless the spell changes into same element. Likewise, creature resistant to magis dispels spells at least with d6 roll 4+. This applies to all non-element spells, like all enchantments, healing spells, teleportation etc.

Note also that all miracles are magic as are all innate powers, and same rules apply to them. Also mote that creature's magic resistance or immunity does not apply to his items or enchantments on him.

SPELL NOTES

MAGIC POINTS

The needed number of magic points is listed in the spell description. If there is 'X', the caster is free to determine value for that, with higher values producing more powerful effects.

Example: Spell has magic point cost 2X+2. If the caster determines X to be 2, he needs 6 magic points for the spell.

ATTRIBUTES

Ranged: The spell can be cast up to 30 meters away from the caster
Touch: The caster must touch the target. If in melee, normal to-hit is required, and if it misses, spell is wasted. This roll is done after casting is performed. If the target is willing, use held armor, with +2 bonus to-hit.
Bolt: Creates a 15 meter bolt, and all creatures in the path are viable targets. Roll to-hit with +4 against each. The caster can use his own to-hit bonuses against first target if they are better than +4. The bolt can usually bounce from objects to reach its full length. If the lenght is defined, it is that instead of 15 meters.
Single-hit: The bold can be such that it affects only the first creature it hits.
Ignore armor: As detailed in system, it needs only to hit the target or his armor, needing 3 against held and more against moving.
Enchantment: Creates a temporary magical effect, which can be dispelled before the effect wears off. Otherwise, it lasts about as long as described in the spell, but can vary up to 50% as judged by the GM. Same enchanment is never cumulative, if cast again, only the one with longer duration remains.
Ritual: All spells require only one action to be cast, unless the spell is a ritual. These require longer casting time, chants and possible material components. The actual casting time is noted.
Wall: The spell creates a wall. If the wall would be broken by some object or creature while being cast, the spell automatically fails. If the wall is solid and prevents moving through it, is is immune to all attacks except physical, acid and polymorph, unless noted otherwise. In addiiton, piercing attacks cannot harm it.
