Fenorrian Fenorra's Blessing – Tier 1 Type: Personal Duration: Day School: Fenorrian Incant: “I grant myself the power of Fenorra's Blessing” Effect: This arcanum gives the caster 10 extra body points. These points are the first body points lost to damage. As long as these body points last they will protect the caster so spells may be cast while taking damage. If a Bless is also present, it is lost before Fenorra's Blessing. If the caster dies and requires a life spell Fenorra's Blessing is lost Healing Pool/Defiling Pool – Tier 2 Type: Personal Duration: Day School: Fenorrian Incant: “By Fenorra I create a healing pool/ By chaos I create a defiling pool” Effect: Healing pool allows the caster to create, for themselves, a pool of magic healing of 50 points plus 10 points per level per level of Fenorrian formal magic possessed by the caster, to a maximum of twenty five levels (300 points) which may only be touch cast as 10 magic cure wounds. The effect is lost if the caster dies and needs a life spell. Defiling pool is a pool of magic chaos with the same limits as the healing pool. A caster may have both a healing pool and a defiling pool at the same time but not more than one of each. If the caster takes body damage during the call of “10 magic cure wounds” or “10 magic cause wounds”, that 10 point casting fails and is lost to the pool but the rest of the pool remains. Bane of the Dead/Boon of the Dead- Tier 3 Type: Offensive Duration: Concentration School: Fenorrian Incant: “By the Fenorra I bane the dead... Magic Harm Undead... Magic Harm Undead... /By chaos I boon the dead... Magic Help Undead ... Magic Help Undead ...” Effect: At the time of casting, the caster plants both feet. As long as both feet remain planted and the arcanum is not disrupted as per normal spell rules, the caster may throw a packet after completing the incant “Magic Harm Undead” or “Magic Help Undead”. While the arcanum is in effect, the caster can perform no other skill nor cast any other spell or arcanum. Each packet thrown acts as a separate spell equivalent to a Harm Undead or a Help Undead depending on the form of the arcanum cast. Eldrich Eldritch Shield – Tier 1 Type: Personal Duration: Day School: Eldritch Incant: “I grant myself an Eldritch Shield” Effect: This arcanum gives the caster 10 extra armor points. These extra points are the first armor points lost due to damage. As long as these points last they will protect the caster so spells may be cast while taking damage. If a shield is also present it is lost before the eldritch shield. If the caster dies and requires a life spell the eldritch shield is lost. Eldrich Storm - TIER 2 Type: Offensive Duration: Concentration School: Eldritch Incant: “I grant myself an Eldritch Storm to throw... 10 magic ... 10 magic …” Effect: At the time of casting, the caster must choose a single damage type; flame, ice, lightning, or stone; and plant both feet. As long as both feet remain planted and the arcanum is not disrupted as per normal spell rules, the caster may throw a packet after completing the incant “10 magic “. The damage type chosen may not be changed without casting another Eldritch Storm. While the arcanum is in effect, the caster can perform no other skill nor cast any other spell or arcanum. Each packet thrown acts as a separate magical attack doing 10 points of the chosen type in damage to the target. The call “10 magic ” is considered part of the verbal and like any other verbal the arcanum is lost if the caster takes body damage, performs an in game skill, or speaks other words to interrupt the verbal. Eldrich Fury - TIER 3 Type: Offensive Duration: Concentration School: Eldritch Incant: “I grant myself an Eldrtch Fury to throw... 5 magic ... 5 magic …” Effect: At the time of casting, the caster must choose a single element; flame, ice, lightning, or stone. As long as the arcanum is not disrupted by normal spell rules, the caster may throw a packet after completing the incant “5 magic “. The damage type chosen may not be changed without casting another Eldritch Fury. While the arcanum is in effect, the caster can perform no other skill nor cast any other spell or arcanum. Each packet thrown acts as a separate magical attack doing 10 points of the chosen type in damage to the target. The call “10 magic ” is considered part of the verbal and like any other verbal the arcanum is lost if the caster takes body damage, performs an in game skill, or speaks other words to interrupt the verbal. 63
Formal Magic Overview The following pages are a brief introduction to the Nero Formal Magic System. For a full explanation of the rules see the Fables of Fenorra Formal Magic Packet. Scrolls may not contain modifications or flaws of any kind, except to make the scroll unable to be copied. The scrolls listed here may not be changed in any way. If used, they must be used exactly as written. Urgent questions and interpretations of these rules will be left to the local Formal Magic marshal. Characters who have learned a ninth level spell can then start learning Formal Magic skill levels. Once a character has reached this point, they often give themselves the title of “Wizard.” Some Wizards add a personal bit to this title so that the entire title might be “Wizard of Fenorrian Magics” or “Wizard of Might and Power ” or “Wizard of Life Healing.” It is up to your character to decide how pretentious to make his or her title or even whether to use one at all. Some refuse to use the title at all, and others use “Sorcerer,” “Warlock,” or some other title. Most people don’t bother Wizards about their titles; After all, it really isn’t a good idea to have a spell caster who can cast Formal Magic mad at you. Common Rituals Formal Magic Scrolls are magical scrolls of immense power in and of themselves and will always detect as magical. They are indestructible by their very nature, and cannot be Shattered, Destroyed, or affected by traps of any kind. They are treated as Magic Items for purposes of stealing. A Formal Magic scroll can only be read or copied by one who has the skill Formal Magic in the appropriate school. To everyone else, the scroll will be unreadable. Here is a description of some of the most common types of Formal Magic effects on Magic Items. This is not a complete list, but merely the ones which most players will encounter. Please see the Formal Magic Casting Rules and individual Formal Magic Spell descriptions for more details. Bane A magical defense that reflects the attack back upon the attacker. It works at will (even before a spell defense if desired), and protects against only one type of effect. For example, a Bane versus Sleep could be used against a Sleep spell or a Sleep gas poison. Cloak A magical defense that works at will (even before a spell defense if desired) and protects against only one type of effect such as Fire or Binding Magic. For example, a Cloak versus Fire could be used against both a 10 magic flame spell or a fire trap. Obliteration A very powerful Formal Magic that causes the victim to suffer the same effect as dying and resurrecting three times, although only one body resurrection is necessary. However, only one “pick” is made from death’s bag. After the Formal Magic is complete, the victim is still able to receive a Life effect for the next five minutes, and only one such spell is necessary to restore the creature to one body point. If a Life effect is received, the creature is not forced to resurrect at all. Spirit Link Spirit Link magically attaches an item to a spirit, thus making it unstealable. The item must always remain in contact with the creature to which it is linked. (It does not have to touch the body directly; a glove or other piece of clothing can come between the item and the person.) When a creature with a Spirit Linked item dies, the Spirit Linked item becomes insubstantial with the spirit and travels to resurrect, reforming with the spirit. If the item is a container, it does not bring the contents with it. If the creature permanently dies, the body and item return to the point where the body dissipated. The item is then linked to the next creature with a spirit that touches it, even through gloves or other articles of clothing or armor. Spirit Mark Used to mark a particular person’s spirit. The mark is always present on the spirit’s body, in the location and with a design as decided by the original Formal Magic caster. This mark can be covered by normal means. Vengeance Causes a retributive strike of pure magical damage to any being inflicting a killing blow upon the bearer of this formal magic. This damage occurs after the killing blow and is not avoidable in any manner. When a Vengeance is triggered, the call will be “ Arcane Vengeance” Formal Magic Components In order to cast a spell from a Formal Magic scroll, one must also have the Formal Magic Components. These components are represented in-game by a tag with a description of the item and its level and type. Formal Magic Components may be found as treasure in a module, on an NPC, or randomly in the woods. Any character can tell if they are looking at a formal component automatically. To identify the level and type of components (i.e. P4 or C1) you must possess one level of the formal magic skill of either school. Components come in various ‘flavors’: Power (P), Creation (C), Elemental (E), Time (T), Void (V), Destruction (D), Spirit (S). Each component has a value of 1, 2 or 4. Formal Magic costs are listed with the total value of each type of needed component. For example, P5 means 64
