Religion Specific Realm Spells



Avani

 
Calmness Sphere: Charm
Regency: 10 Req'd Holding: 4
Gold: 2 Character Level: 7
Duration: 1 Domain Turn  
This spell may only be cast by priests of Avani. The spell affects an entire province and prevents any aggressive actions or thoughts during the duration of the spell. With careful use the spell can be used to prevent battle. Warriors will not fight if they are in a province that is effected by this spell. It can also be used to affect diplomacy actions, as it forces everyone to avoid disputes. This means that a diplomatic action seeking a treaty between two nations will always result in a success.
This spell has been used several times by Gerad ibn Farid el-Arrasi, the prince of Ariya. The realm spell has enabled him to sign treaties with several of his neighbours, without giving away any concessions in the process.

Belinik

 
Bloodlust Sphere: Combat, War
Regency: 10 Req'd Holding: 3
Gold: 2 Character Level: 10
Duration: 1 month  
This spell is restricted to priests of Belinik. The spell can be cast only when a kingdom is engaged in warfare with another land. It is cast onto a symbol that is carried into battle by the kingdoms soldiers. As long as the symbol is held aloft every soldier in the battle gains +1 to attack and can not retreat from battle or surrender. As soon as the symbol makes its appearance the enemy rushes into battle and even the reserves of the armies can not avoid getting engaged in the fighting. No unit can be routed or fall back from battle, instead treat those results as a hit instead. The fighting will continue unabated until the symbol is destroyed or all the soldiers on one side are killed.

Erik

 
Plant Growth Sphere: Plant
Regency: 15 Req'd Holding: 1
Gold: 0 Character Level: 5
Duration: Permanent  
Available only to priests of Erik, this spell enables the priest to accelerate the growth rate of trees and other plants by 100 times. This means that a tree that might normally take 100 years to grow to its full glory, now only takes 1 year. The spell can affect as large an areas as the priest wishes but is limited by the following. First the spell can only be cast on seeds or seedlings that the priest and his followers have personally planted, it has no effect on naturally sprouting plants. Second the spell only effects plants within the same province as the holding.
This spell was first cast by Günther Brandt, of the Oaken Grove of Erik. He was visiting followers in a remote village in the province of Stjolvar when he learned of a group of Bandits that had been threatening the village. Before they were next due to arrive he got his followers to plant seeds from a local fast growing pine in a close circle around the village. He then cast the spell causing all the plants to grow very quickly. As a result when the bandits arrived two weeks later the village was surrounded by a two metre high grove of very thick trees. There was now only one narrow way into the village.

 Haelyn

 
Crusader Sphere: War
Regency: 5 Req'd Holding: 4
Gold: 5 Character Level: 10
Duration: Special  
This spell is restricted to priests of Haelyn and allows the priest to transform a current unit into a special unit known as a Crusader. The transformed unit gains +2 to attack, and never has to check for morale. The priest must travel with the unit at all times for it to maintain these values. If he leaves the unit it loses all bonuses gained, and reverts to its former stats.
This spell was first cast by Lavalan Briesen of the Orthodox Imperial Temple of Haelyn. The spell casting costs 5 GB. This money is spent on the forging of special medallions to be worn by all members of the unit that is the focus of the spell, and the burning of rare incenses during the final stage of the casting, which involves all the soldiers from the army unit listening to the priest give a long and inflammatory speech to inflame their passions and convert them into crusaders.
