Chapter 12: Spells
This chapter lists all spells alphabetically.
Alternate methods of indexing spells are available
in Appendix 2. Following is a format for all spell
entries:
Spell Name (italicized if Ceremonial Magic)
Level: Here is the power or complexity level
of the spell, from 1 to 10. Spell level determines
the casting time, which is listed on the ‘Duration of
Action’ table in Chapter 10: Combat. Note that casting
9 th , and especially 10 th , level spells requires sleep
deprivation during the lengthy casting time. Examples
of the 10 spell levels are given in the end of
Chapter 11: Magic.
Magic Points: Here is the number of MP
needed to cast the spell. MP are explained in Chapter
11: Magic.
Discipline: Here is listed the discipline of
magic in which the spell is categorized. The 5 disciplines
include: air, earth, ether, fire, and water.
Range: Here is listed the range where the
spell may take effect. Typically, the range designates
the distance within which the center of an area may
be designated (see area below). Otherwise, spell effects
may not occur outside of the range.
Area: Here is listed the area affected by the
spell. The center of the area must be within the
range of the spell. Area may be listed in many ways.
Examples include either 2 or 3 dimensions (such as
503
length x width x height), radius (a line segment extending
from the center of a circle or sphere to the
curve or surface), diameter (the length of a straight
line through the center of an object), and a cone (a
ray that becomes wider as it extends from its source,
and whose dimensions are defined in the spell description).
Spells that affect an area, do not affect
BPP, but LP.
Duration: Here is listed the duration that
the spell’s effects last.
Reference: Spells listed of ceremonial magic
are not fabricated by the author of this game, but
have been obtained from real-world references, cited
at the end of this book.
Chant: Here is listed the chant that must be
recited, if necessary. Typically, the chant is phrased
repeatedly throughout the casting time of the spell,
except for chants for 1 st level spells, which are only
phrased once. The number of phrasings may vary
due to abnormally long or short chants.
Ingredients: Here is listed any necessary ingredients
for the spell to be cast. The spell may not
be cast until the proper ingredients, if required, are
acquired.
Ritual: Here is detailed what ritual or gesture
must be performed, if any. Assuming a ritual is
required, the spell will not take effect without the
proper performance of the ritual.
Description: Here is listed the description
of the spell with all necessary details.
