Imbue Item
Level: 5
Magic Points: 40
Discipline: Ether
Range: Touch
Area: 1 item
Duration: Special
Chant: See Chapter 11: Magic
Ingredients: See Chapter 11: Magic
Ritual: See Chapter 11: Magic
Description: Casting this spell causes the next spell
cast to be stored or imbued into an item
specified by the caster. Most magical items
are created with this spell. The Aedile determines
the effect. It may be necessary for
conditions to be specified as well.
For example, a caster may imbue a
sword with Minor Harm. However, unless
a condition is specified, the next creature to
touch the sword will receive the effects of
that spell. If an appropriate condition is
made, and it satisfies the Aedile, it may be
possible for the wielder of the sword to remain
unaffected and also able to select the
recipient, such as the next creature struck.
Imbue Item is often used in conjunction
with another spell called Immutability.
Casting Immutability on an imbued item will
make the effects of a spell permanent. For
instance, after casting Immutability on the
sword mentioned above with Minor Harm,
it may harm those upon contact whenever
the wielder wills it.
If the item is metallic, then a chance
of spell failure exists due to defigere (see
Chap. 11: Magic). If spell failure results, then
a Random Magical Effect occurs (see Appendix
3: Random Magical Effects).

Immutability
Level: 6
Magic Points: 48
Discipline: Ether
Range: Touch
Area: Special
Duration: Permanent
Chant: See Chapter 11: Magic
Ingredients: See Chapter 11: Magic
Ritual: See Chapter 11: Magic
Description: Casting this spell causes a spell effect
that is currently in effect to become permanent.
Immutability will not make permanent
effects or states that are not spell effects.
For example, a caster may cast
Tenesmus on a victim, which makes them
constipated for a limited duration. During
the duration of the effects of the Tenesmus
spell, any caster may cast Immutability on
the victim. This would result in making the
effect of the Tenesmus spell permanent. For
the rest of the victim’s life, they will suffer
from severe constipation.
This spell is often used in conjunction
with Imbue Item. If an item is imbued
with a spell, then casting Immutability on
the item will make permanent whatever spell
effects or capabilities it has.
If the item is metallic, then a chance
of spell failure exists due to defigere (see
Chap. 11: Magic). If spell failure occurs, then
a Random Magical Effect occurs (see Appendix
3: Random Magical Effects). Thereafter,
the immutable effect will produce a random
magical effect if spell failure occurred, or it
will work consistently thereafter if spell failure
did not occur.
