Untitled - The Secrets of the Mind & Body Shaping

Animae spells are Creo or Muto. A
Muto spell transforms a mundane thing
into a faerie, usually something appropriate
to its nature, while Creo simply summons
a faerie associated with the Form,
and the maga has very little control over
what. Since all faeries have Might, and
since their Might is added to the level
of the spell, Animae spells must always
be designed at a level greater than that
given in the guidelines. For example,
to summon a faerie insect with a Might
Score of 1 is a base level 11 Creo Animal
effect, and to change a pool of water into
a water faerie with Might 10 requires an
effect of base level 20.
aniMal
Faerie animals are just like mundane
animals, except that they can usually
talk, walk like people, and often have
other human qualities. Animals or animal
products changed into animae usually
retain beastlike properties, though
they are still intelligent. For example,
a goat changed into a faerie would be
hairy, with horns and goat’s feet, and
appropriately goatlike Personality traits;
a fish might become a mermaid or
some other sort of part-human, part–sea
creature.
creo aniMal
Level 10: Create a faerie insect.
Level 15: Create a faerie bird, reptile,
fish, or amphibian.
Level 20: Create a faerie mammal.
Level 25: Create a faerie with animal
parts, like wings or gills. Create a
faerie that is a combination of multiple
animals.

aquaM
Water faeries can be capricious, but

destructive when unleashed.

Muto auraM

corPus
Faeries of the body may appear
human, but are definitely not. They
are usually deformed in some way. It is
94
impossible to change a living person into
a faerie with Animae Magic.
creo corPus
Level 10: Create an obviously nonhuman
faerie (a walking skeleton, a

HerBaM
Faeries of the wood are probably
the most well-known faeries in Mythic
Europe. They generally behave very similarly
to trees whose consciousness has
been awakened.

Level 5: Create a faerie of the wood.
Muto HerBaM
Level 4: Change a plant or item made
from plant products into a faerie.
igneM
Light, flame, and heat are properties
all fire faeries share. While Ignem also
covers darkness and the absence of heat,
faeries of coldness or ice are typically
