Chill Ray

(Necromancy)

Spell Level: 6th
Range: 10 yds/level
Components: V,S,M
Casting Time: 6
Duration: Instantaneous
Area of Effect: 1 Creature
Saving Throw: negates

Upon completion of this spell, a thin, iridescent beam of blue light shoots from the caster's hand with an audible hum towards the target creature. If the target makes its saving throw, then the beam is assumed to have missed or been deflected (DM should plot new course of beam and incidental targets, if any). If the save fails, the beam hits the target, draining it of 1 point of strength per level of the caster (A 12th level caster would drain 12 points of Str). Each bracket of exceptional of strength is considered one point for purposes of this spell. If the creature's strength is brought to zero, then the creature dies and becomes a shadow under the control of the caster. However, it should be noted that if the shadow slays other beings, then those newly formed shadows are not under the caster's control. This spell only grants the caster direct control over shadows created by this spell. The material component is a gem or crystal with a continual darkness effect cast upon it.

Conjure Divine Elemental

Level: 9
School: Conjuration/Summoning, other schools determined by elemental type
Components: V, S, M + special
Casting Time: 3 rounds
Range: 10 yds
Area of Effect: 10' cubic area of elemental material
Duration: 1 turn/level
Saving Throw: NA

In order to cast this spell, a wizard must have both the blood power of appropriate derivation or a willing donor of appropriate derivation (example- the blood of Anduiras to summon an Anduireal). The caster must also be in the presence of the proper material from which the elemental is to be conjured (fire for a Basaian or darkness for an Azrael). Upon completion of the spell, the spellcaster determines the strength of the elemental by donating blood points, the elemental has as many points as the donor donates, up to the donor's full amount, with one stipulation. The resultant hit dice of the elemental cannot exceed that of the caster's level. The elemental is completely obedient to the caster and will not turn on him. When the duration expires or the the caster dismisses the elemental (which can be done at will) all donated blood points return to the donor. Note that when a donor drops in blood points he may lose abilities. This spell can be risky because if the elemental is slain, the donor permanently loses half of the blood points donated. Specifics about divine elementals can be found here.

Conjure Mephit

(Conjuration, Necromancy)

Spell Level: 6th
Range: 5 ft
Components: V,S,M
Casting Time: 1 Turn
Duration: Permanent
Area of Effect: One pool of elemental material
Saving Throw: N/A

Through this magical ceremony, a caster can create a mephit of one of the sixteen types. The mephit is absolutely loyal to the caster, however they more than make up for this with their irritating mannerisms. To perform this spell, the wizard must draw the appropriate symbols around a pool of whatever elemental material is specific to the mephit he wants to create. Upon completion of this spell, the pool of the material coagulates and the mephit rises up to do the caster's bidding. Not that "pool" means any significant concentration of the appropriate matter or energy. For example, a steam mephit could be created in an area possessing a great deal of steam or a radiant mephit in a brightly lit area with lots of mirrors reflecting the light. The material components, in addition to the elemental material involved are special chalks required to write the correct spell runes on the ground (approximately 1,000 gp) and two levels of life-force to give the material vitality and intelligence. The life force can be the caster's or belong to another (preferably another's)! Someone else's life force can be used if it is retained by a trap the soul spell, or if the donating creature has its life force drained by the casting of an enervation spell during the mephit creation ceremony (in which case two of the drained levels are lost permanently). Note that mephits can only gate in other mephits already created by the same caster- gates do not conjure new mephits.

Detect Bloodline Powers

(Divination)
Level: 5
Range: 30 yards
Components: V,S,M
Casting: 1 turn
Area of effect: 1 creature
Saving throw: special

This spell detects one unknown bloodability of the target (first Greater powers, then Major, and finally minors powers) The material component of this spell is a 100gp gem of the kind belonging to the derivation of the target. This gem has to be smeared with a drop of blood from the caster.

While casting the caster enumerates the known powers of the target to block the spell from detecting these first. If the saving throw is made the blood doesn't reveal it's power, the spell is negated. If the gem is pressed to a wound on the target character and thus in contact with the entire bloodflow the saving throw suffers a -4 penalty.

At the end of the spell the gem crumbles to dust and the caster becomes aware of one of the bloodpowers of the target (and at what strength). If all powers were already known the jewel explodes doing 2d4 hp damage.

Earth Ship

(Evocation)

Spell Level: 7th
Range: 10 yds
Components: V,S,M
Casting Time: 1 hour
Duration: Permantent
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

This spell creates a ship of wood and vegetation to spring into being. It  must be cast with in 10 yards of a body of water and out doors or the spell will fail. The ship created is vulnerable to the dispel magic spell immediately after being cast and also up to one hour after the casting.
Beyond that time the ship is made whole and is a physical vessel now. All  attempts to detect magic or enchantment will fail upon the ship because after the hour of forming the ship is whole and no longer held together by the magical forces, but due to the created material and the construction process.
The ship once created appears as a normal ship as per it's design, however  it is also covered with a thin layer of earth, moss and plant life. Small plants and trees may be seen to grow from it. These obstructions do not interfere with the normal navigation and movement's of the ships crew.
This covering of vegetation at a distance may make the ship appear to be a small isle at a distance. Upon closer examination the vessel can be seen for what it actually is. This earth covering provides the ship with a bonus of +4 to all fire and lightning attacks against it.
The caster of this spell must be familiar with the mundane art of ship building or designing. This translates to having the appropriate non-weapon proficiencies, such as shipwright. The size of the ship is limited in porportion to the material components used in the casting. The spell requires a piece of drift wood, one pound of moss, and iron shavings. These are then burned and into the mixture is placed an amount of gold equal to the value of the ship desired to be created.
For example a galleon normally costing 30,000 gp's will require the above listed components and also 30,000 gp's. All material componets vanish when the spell is completed.

MacFaileas’ Bloodguard

(Evocation)
Level: 4th
Range: Touch
Duration: Until Discharged
Casting Time: 1 turn
Componants: V, S, M
Area of Effect: 1 Scion
Saving Throw: None

Explanation/Description: Created to hinder the bloodtheft of its recipient, this spell simply causes trouble and irritation for any scion attempting to take a bloodline by force. Bloodguard hampers the bloodtheft by magically locking away half of the recipient’s bloodline strength (so, if Rhuobhe Manslayer were to bloodtheft a scion with a bloodline strength score of 43, the Elf would only gain the benefits of bloodthefting someone with 21 bloodline strength points). As a side effect, if the dead scion is then raised, she will still have half of her original bloodline intact.
In addition to the above benefit, bloodguard also has a few minor magical quirks associated with it. The spell seems to weaken any blade used in the bloodtheft, so that any roll of a 20 to hit with that weapon causes it to save versus crushing blow or shatter. Additionally, this spell preserves the recipient’s body from natural decay for up to 1 day per level of the caster. Note, however, that the use of a tighmaevril weapon in the bloodtheft completely negates the bloodguard.
The material components for this spell are a six inch square of chainmail and an eel’s heart.

MacFaileas’ Bloodtrap

(Evocation, Necromancy)
Level: 3rd
Range: Touch
Duration: Until Discharged
Casting Time: 1 hour
Componants: V, S, M
Area of Effect: 1 Scion
Saving Throw: 1/2

Explanation/Description: The second spell created to hinder bloodtheft, bloodtrap, causes physical damage to any scion taking another’s bloodline by force. Upon completion of this spell, the recipient’s bloodline becomes hazardous to any one who slays the
recipient by piercing his heart; in addition to gaining whatever bloodline power the murderer normally would, this spell causes a point
of damage for every point of bloodline strength of the spell’s recipient. The chill, burning sensation felt throughout the bloodthief’s
body may also cause him to be stunned for 1d4 rounds if a second saving throw versus spells is failed. Other than the listed effects, this spell does not alter the bloodtheft in any way (the recipient still looses his bloodline, his tie to the land is severed if tighmaevril was used, etc.). This spell’s material components are 500 gp worth of powdered onyx, a drop of blood from the caster and recipient, and a silver dagger, all of which are consumed by the spell.
Note: This spell can not be used in conjunction with the spell bloodguard.

Protection from Puds 10' Radius

(Enchantment/Charm)
Level: 2nd
Range: Touch
Duration: 2 rounds/level
Casting Time: 2
Componants: V, S
Area of Effect: 10' radius around 1 creature
Saving Throw: Special

Explanation/Description: This is not really a Protection spell at all, but a weak form of Fear spell. This spell enables the caster to set up an area with a magical field and center it on one touched creature (or himself). Those who enter the warded area have a strong compulsion to turn back and not pass through again (a successful saving throw vs. spell is required to avoid retreat). Creatures of 5 hit dice (or levels) or more are unaffected. Any creature who makes its save will be able to remain within the circle but will make all attacks at -2 and all saves against those attacks are made with a +2 bonus. Once again, creatures of 5 HD or more are immune to this affect. Any creature with magical protection from fear may pass through without having to make a saving throw. Undead of all types are also immune. If a creature affected by this spell is backed into a corner and forced into the circle, or if anyone within the circle makes a successful melee attack (not spell or ranged attack) against an affected creature, the Protection from Puds spell will no longer affect that creature, but may continue to hold others at bay.
This spell was created by the half-elven fighter/mage Quevven Mornoi.

Quewen's Ice Dagger

(Evocation)
Level: 1st
Range: 60 yds. + 10 yds/level
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1
Componants: V, S
Area of Effect: 1-5 opponents
Saving Throw: None

Spell description:

Use of the ice dagger spell creates up to five daggers of material from the Elemental Plane of Water that dart forth from the wizard's fingertip and unerringly strike their target. This includes enemy creatures in a melee. The target creature must be seen or otherwise detected to be hit, however, so near-total concealment, such as that offered by arrow slits, can render the spell ineffective. Likewise, the caster must be able to identify the target. He cannot direct a ice dagger to "Strike the commander of the legion." unless he can single out the commander from the rest of the soldiers. Specific parts of a creature cannot be singled out. Inanimate objects (locks, etc.) cannot be damaged by the spell, and any attempt to do so wastes the daggers to no effect. Against creatures, each dagger inflicts 1d4+1 points of damage. For every two extra levels of experience, the wizard gains an additional dagger - he has two at 3rd level, three at 5th level, four at 7th level, etc., up to a total of five daggers at 9th level. If the wizard has multiple dagger capability, he can have them strike a single target creature or several creatures, as desired.

Upon completion of this spell, the caster’s body, and up to 25 pounds of equipment per two levels, are transformed into a mass of energy which then strikes forward up to the maximum range available. This bolt of energy is always 10 feet wide and 40 feet long, and like a normal lightning bolt, it does 1d6 points of damage per level of the caster (to a maximum of 10d6) to all creatures caught within its area.
This spell’s effect lasts but a split second, so it renders the caster immune to all attacks save for constant spell effects that she
may pass through (antimagic shield, a wild magic zone, etc.). The caster reforms, none the worse for wear wherever the lightning bolt came to a stop, but may take no other action for that round (and receives no AC bonus from her dexterity) due to the slight disorientation caused by this spell.
The material components for ride the lightning are a bit of fur and a miniature battering ram made of amber, crystal, or glass.

Level: 3rd
Range: 20 yds + 5 yds/level
Duration: 2 rounds + 1/level
Casting Time: 5
Componants: V, S
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

Explanation/Description: This spell creates a field of force in the shape of a sap, which the caster may use to attack, appearing anywhere within the spell's range. As long as concentration is maintained, the sap may be made to attack any target within its range. Each round the caster can choose to attack the same target or switch to a new target anywhere within its maximum range. The Secular Sap's chance to hit is the same as that of the caster, without any strength or dexterity bonuses. In addition, it strikes as a magical weapon with a bonus of +1 for every six full experience levels of the caster, up to +3 for an 18th level caster. If the caster is below 6th level, there is no bonus. The damage inflicted is 1d4, plus the caster's bonus. If cast by a mage/thief, the backstab bonus may apply. In addition, there is a percentile chance of knockout equal to ten times the amount of damage inflicted. For example, a spellcaster who causes 3 pts of damage would have a 30% chance of knocking the target unconscious. As soon as concentration ends, so does the sap. A Dispel Magic cast successfully against either the sap or the caster will also dispel the sap. If an attacked creature has magic resistance, it is checked only the first time that creature is struck, and if it is resisted, the sap is dispelled without any chance for damage or knockout. The material component is a sap, which must be hurled through the air and is consumed.
This spell was created by Thor Tjarlhan, a Rjurik wizard who currently is travelling through Cerilia.

Level: 3rd
Range: 3 squares
Duration: Until sunrise
Casting Time: 1 attack phases
Componants: V, S, M
Area of Effect: 1 square.

Only one unit at a time can be effected this way and it is never an exact copy, with the icy soldiers only having very rough forms. The snowmen's weapons are weaker than the normal unit so their attack is alway reduced to half that of the original unit while their defence remains the same. If the original unit had a missile rating then the copy will lose that value and only have the melee and charge values. Fire or heat based spells and even the sun itself are the enemy of these snowy unit so if they are exposed to direct sunlight, or fire based spell, they will be destroyed. Also while the unit is fighting the caster would need to maitain concentration to keep the snowmen active, or they will just stand there and now move.
The material component is large quantities of snow, water will not do in this case, and a wooden pipe.

Snowball

(Evocation)
Level: 3rd
Range: 10 yds + 10 yds/level
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 3
Componants: V, S, M
Area of Effect: 10-ft radius
Saving Throw: 1/2

Explanation/Description: A snowball is an explosive burst of snow and ice, which detonates with a low roar and delivers damage proportional to the level of the wizard who cast it - 1d6 points of damage for each level of experience of the spellcaster (up to a maximum of 10d6). The burst of a snowball creates little pressure and generally conforms to the shape of the area in which it occurs. The snowball fills an area equal to its cubic volume (roughly 33000 cubic feet - thirty- three 10-foot 10-foot 10-foot cubes). Besides causing damage to creatures, the snowball freezes all exposed materials within its burst radius, and the chill of a snowball causes soft metals to harden maybe even crack. Exposed items require saving throws vs. magical cold to determine if they are affected, but items in the possession of a creature that rolls a successful saving throw are unaffected by the snowball.
The wizard points his finger and speaks the range (distance and height) at which the snowball is to burst. A streak flashes from the pointing digit and unless it impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed range, blossoms into the snowball (an early impact results in an early detonation). Creatures failing their saving throws each suffer full damage from the blast. Those who roll successful saving throws manage to dodge, fall flat, or roll aside, each receiving half damage (the DM rolls the damage and each affected creature suffers either full damage or half damage [round fractions down], depending on whether the creature saved or not). The material components of this spell are a tiny ball of dust and a thimble of water.
This spell was created by Quevven Tuarlachiem, Khinasi half-elf fighter/mage.
