Sidhelien Realm Spells
Sidhelien Realm Spells
Awaken Forest
| School: Enchantment/Charm |
Minimum Caster Level: 7 |
| Regency: 5 RP/unit |
Gold: 2 GB/ unit |
| Required Source: 5 |
Duration: 1 week/level |
This powerful realm spell allows a Sidhelien wizard to awaken the flora
and fauna of a particular forest province. Once awakened, the plants,
animals, and faerie creatures of the forest will join with the elves in
defending the province from intruders. Trees will actually uproot
themselves and march into battle alongside creatures as small as insects
or as powerful as unicorns or treants. 1 "unit" of forest defenders
can be awakened for every 3 levels the caster has. Thus, a 9th level
wizard could awaken 3 units in a province, a 12th level wizard could awaken
4 units in a province, etc... Once awakened, the forest defenders
can only act to battle invaders in the province they were awakened in.
An awakened forest unit will not travel into even an adjacent province,
meaning this spell can typically only be used for defensive purposes.
An awakened forest unit has the following war card statistics: Move=1;
Defense=7; Morale = pennant, shield, and sword; Melee=7;
Missile=3 (note: the Missile value of an awakened forest unit represents
birds, swarming insects, and the ever-present plants of an elven province
that attack foes at every turn, not missiles in the traditional sense).
After 1 hit, the Melee value drops to 5. After 2 hits, the Melee
value drops to 3 and the Missile value drops to 2. After 3 hits,
the Melee value drops to 1 and the Missile value drops to 1. Awakened
forest units ignore all Fallback or Rout results unless they are caused
by magic.
Sidhelien wizards will cast awaken forest in only the most dire
circumstances. They are pained by the thought of awakening their
beloved forest and placing it in harms way, and will only do so as a last
resort. To simulate the damage done if an awakened forest unit is
destroyed in combat, the Source potential of the province is reduced by
1. 5 years of regrowth are required before the destruction is healed
and the source potential returns to its previous level. The casting
wizard can prevent this loss of Source level by mentally willing that an
awakened forest unit disband prior to its total destruction. As a
result, a Sidhelien wizard who casts awaken forest will almost always
be physically present at any battle the unit is engaged in to ensure it
is not utterly destroyed.
This spell must be powered by an actual source holding in the province
in which it is cast. Mebhaighl cannot be channeled via a ley line
or boosted through magical means to power this spell.

Eyes of the Forest
| School: Divination |
Minimum Caster Level: 2 |
| Regency: 5 RP |
Gold: 1 GB |
| Required Source: 4 |
Duration: 3 action rounds |
The eyes of the forest realm spell allows a Sidhelien regent
to sense the presence of any non-elf sentient being within his/her domain.
In order to utilize this power, the caster must concentrate for 1 round.
The wizard can then begin to scan any groups of interlopers within the
domain at a rate of 10 seconds per group. This scan starts with creatures
closest to the caster and works its way out to the domain's borders.
The caster gains a mental birds-eye view of the intruders and their surroundings.
He/she can pinpoint their location to within approximately 100 yards.
Spells and magical items that ward against other types of scrying are effective
at shielding beings from this spell.

Revenge of the Sidhelien
| School: Alteration |
Minimum Caster Level: 3 |
| Regency: 10 RP/unit |
Gold: 3 GB |
| Required Source: 5 |
Duration: Instantaneous |
Elven wizards are typically unwilling to cast the powerful realm spell
mass destruction because they fear it will damage their beloved
forests. As an alternative, they have developed this spell.
An enemy unit affected by revenge of the Sidhelien has all members
polymorphed into harmless forest creatures like rabbits, deer, or whatever
is appropriate for the province in which the spell is cast. A wizard
can affect 1 enemy unit plus 1 unit per 3 levels of the caster. Thus,
a 4th level caster could affect 2 units, a 7th level caster could affect
3 units, etc... Each unit targeted by the spell costs the wizard
an additional 10 RP.
Units that are targeted by this spell are allowed a saving throw
vs. spells to reduce the effect of this spell. The average level
or hit dice of the unit should be determined to establish the saving throw
number required. If a unit successfully passes the saving throw,
the spell is successful against a portion of the unit and only 1 hit of
"damage" is sustained. The unit must then successfully make a morale
check or flee the province in which the spell was cast. As with the
mass destruction realm spell, the wizard must be within sight of
the unit(s) to be affected in order to finalize this spell. The wizard
can delay the spell's terrifying effect for up to 1 week as he travels
to the unit's location. This location must, however, be within the
province in which the wizard initiated the casting of the spell.
A dispel magic realm spell cast upon a province in which a unit
was affected by revenge of the Sidhelien will reverse the polymorphing
effect. However, the former attackers will be disoriented, terrified,
and totally unequipped. They will wish only to flee the area.By Craig Greeson

Sidhelien Air Transport
| Sphere: Alteration,
Enchanment/Charm |
| Regency: 5 or special |
Req'd Holding: 5 |
| Gold: 3 GB or 6 GB / vessel |
Character Level: 12 |
| Duration: 1 Turn or special. |
This spell is placed upon one or more ships for the
purposes of enabling those vessels to fly and travel through the air for the duration of
this spell. The cost is 3 GB and 2 RP per ship that is to be affected to a maximum of 1
ship per 3 caster levels. Thus a 15th level caster can enchant 5 vessles with one casting
of this spell. The realm spell lasts for one domain turn unless made permanent. To make
the spell permanent on affected vessels at the time of casting the caster must spend 6 GB
instead of 3 and also must pay in regency the cost of the vessel to be affected.
For example: a galleon would cost the caster 2 RP +3 GB for
a one turn duration. For the permanent effect the caster would spend 15 RP and 6 GB.
The air transport spell causes the effected vessels to
travel at the speed of three provinces a week. At the end of the duration the magic fails
and causes any ship still flying to crash down with possibly horrible results.

Sidhelien Deception
| School: Illusion/Phantasm |
Minimum Caster Level: 5 |
| Regency: 5 RP/province |
Gold: 2 GB/province |
| Required Source: 2 |
Duration: 1 month/caster level |
This spell allows a Sidhelien wizard to mask any elven settlements
in a province with a powerful illusion. Once it is cast, any elven
dwellings or structures in the province appear to simply be a natural part
of the forest to non-elves who were not in the area at the time the spell
was cast. If an outsider observes any Sidhelien going about their
daily routines, it appears to them as if the elves are simply wandering
a stretch of forest in which no settlement exists. The caster can
affect 1 province for every 3 levels he/she has, provided the additional
RP and GB are expended.By Craig Greeson

Sidhelien's Defense
(Domain/Realm)
Sphere: Enchanment/Charm
Regency: 5 RP / Unit
Req'd Holding: 5/2* Special
Gold: 2 GB / Unit
Character Level: 9
Duration: 1 Turn + 1 action round / level.
Sidhelien's Defense allows an elven mage to cause the
natural plant and animal life of one or more provinces to show life and actively move in
defense of an elven nation. forest province. Once cast, the plants, animals, and mythical
creatures of the forest will join together to form units of magical defenders. Treants,
animated trees, animals, birds, grasses, insects, vines, pegasus, and other creatures will
put aside any differences the races may have with one another to obey the wishes of the
caster. A lightly forested province can muster a maximum of 10 units while a heavily
forested porvince can muster a maximum of 20 units.
Once the provinces have been awakened, the Sidhelien's
Defendors can act to battle invaders. Much like levies, if they die in a province that
they were not mustered in the muster province suffers 4 devastation points (Taline,
Player's Secrets of page.24) After a total of twenty devestation points the province
source potential drops by one.
An awakened forest unit has the following war card
statistics:
Full: Move=1; Defense=7; Morale =pennant,
shield, and sword; Melee=7; Missile=3
Awakened forest units ignore all Fallback or Rout results unless they are caused by magic.
One Hit: Melee= 5
Two Hits: Melee= 3; Missile: 2
Three Hits:Melee= 1; Missile: 1.
This spell must be powered by a level five source holding
in the province in which it is cast. The spell energy may then be used in the province of
casting and it can also be channeled to any province that has a connected ley line. The
destination province or provinces of this spell must be of a level 2 source rating or
higher to draw the energy of this spell. If a regent has ley lines connecting from the
casting province and also to the destination province(s) then he need not be present as
his spell energy will travel through the ley line awakening the natural source value for
use of this spell. In this way a sidhelien kingdom may summon it's forest's protector's in
many provinces at once if each individual province meets the required source rating.

Sidhelien Warding
| School: Abjuration |
Minimum Caster Level: 5 |
| Regency: 5 RP/province |
Gold: 2 GB/province |
| Required Source: 5 |
Duration: 3 months + 1 month/caster level |
The Sidhelien have developed this spell to protect the borders of their
forests from hostile neighbors. When this spell is cast in a forest
province the area becomes impassable to outsiders. Trees and vines
seem to block an intruders way at every turn, forest paths seem to turn
back upon themselves, and interlopers find themselves wandering back to
the area where they entered the forest after a few short minutes.
Creatures native to the area, including elves, are immune to the effects
of this spell. As with the standard warding spell, a wizard
or priest with appropriate magical capabilities has a 50% chance of successfully
leading up to 1 person per level through the warded province.
Note: This spell was initially developed by Princess Niobhe of Innishiere,
and is first mentioned in the TSR product Cities of the Sun.
