Cults of G.. - Index of - Free

This spell creates an invisible protected covering up
to 100 square metres defined by four warding staves.
Each of these is 1 metre long and carved in the likeness
of Issaries. It is very similar to a Magnitude 1 Warding
enchantment (see RuneQuest Companion, page 41). It
activates when someone enters the area with a hostile
intent. It makes no distinction between ‘friendly’ fighters
and ‘hostile’ fighters; anyone attempting to enter the zone
with intentions of harm alerts it.
The spell remains as long as the staves remain undisturbed.
Anyone other than the caster attempting to move or
destroy the staves activates it.
Create Shadow
Duration 15, Magnitude 1, Progressive, Ranged
Cult: Argan Argar
This spell creates a region of shadow that progressively
blocks out light. Each round, its dimensions shift and
range from 11 to 20 (2D6 + 8) metres in diameter with a
height one quarter that. Once cast, it is immobile.
Additional points of Magnitude do not increase the volume
covered by the shadow but instead intensify the darkness
created. At 1 point of Magnitude, the spell creates a visible
haze and permits the use of the Dark Walk spell within
its confines. 2 points neutralises the effects of sunlight
on light-sensitive beings such as trollkin or vampires.
3 points plunges the area into darkness equivalent to a
moonlit night. 4 points creates a pitch-black area that is
suitable for summoning or embodying shades.
Fire or other illumination within such magic is visible,
but it illuminates nothing.
Create Skeleton
Duration 10, Magnitude 2
Cult: Underworld, Zorak Zoran
This spell creates animated skeletons as described on
page 117 of RuneQuest.
Create Wildfire
Instant, Magnitude 1, Progressive, Ranged
Cult: Lodril
This spell must be cast on a fire. For each point of
Magnitude, the fire’s diameter increases by 1 metre, but
the fire’s intensity does not increase. If no substance is
available for the increased fire to burn, it rapidly dwindles
back to its original size.
This spell has no effect on a Firearrow or similar spells.
It increases a salamander’s size by 1 cubic metre per
point of Magnitude but does not change its hit points or
damage.
Create Zombie
Duration 10, Magnitude 3
Cult: Underworld, Zorak Zoran
This spell creates zombies as described in RuneQuest
page 122. Zombies created by Zorak Zoran rituals do
not have the spirit of the original owner bound into them,
unlike those created by a shamanic ritual (see Cults
of Glorantha: Volume II). Instead, they are mindless
automata, similar to animated skeletons.
Cremate Dead
Duration special, Magnitude 1, Touch
Cult: Lodril, Shargash
This hour long ritual allows an official to fully destroy
the bodily remains of any cultist after death. This spell
guarantees that the ghost will not return to haunt the
community. It also burns all the goods sent along with
the corpse, allowing the deceased to carry some weapons
and supplies in the Land of the Dead. It can be used on
the still-animated skeleton, zombie or even vampire form
of a Lodril cultist.
Crush
Duration 15, Magnitude 1, Progressive, Ranged
Cult: Shargash, Zorak Zoran
This spell can only be cast on a blunt weapon such as
a mace or club. For each point of Magnitude, this spell
adds +5% to the user’s chance to hit and adds 1 to the
damage. Weapons under the effect of this spell take on a
fiery red glow.
Cure (Disease)
Instant, Magnitude 1, Progressive, Touch
Cult: Chalana Arroy, Erissa
This spell combats a specified disease. When cast, the
victim of the disease receives an immediate Resilience
