Description

Apparition

Std

90ft

10 rounds per level

This spell is a very much improved version of Horrific Illusion, and allows the Arcanist to create an Illusion that reacts as if real. The Illusion can either be some hideous demonic or supernatural creature or something absurd like a man eating fridge. The magic is such that anyone comming within 50ft of the Apparition will be attacked. The Apparition will appear to take damage, sweat, bleed etc but cannot be stopped or killed. Anyone viewing the Apparition must save vs HF 10 or be affected as per Horrific Illusion. When the Apparition attcks each target must make a saving throw vs Magic ( " -4 if the HF save is failed). If the save is made the Apparition vanishes but if the save is failed then the target will believe that the damage inflicted is REAL. At the point of death the target collapses into a coma for 60-2D4-ME minutes, after which they make make a save vs coma roll with a base of 30+ME (PE bonus applies). If the save is failed they may try again after the same time period, and may continue the attempt for PE hours. Once the save is made the target must save vs insanity ( base 12 +1 per failed recovery attempt) or gain a random insanity because of the trauma. When the target recovers all damage will be revealed to be fake.

The only ways to stop an Apparition are

1) Disbelieve It

2) Plunge Something made from Cold Iron Into It

3) Wait for the Magic to Expire

Apparitions have 3 to 6 attacks per melee, +2 to Strike, +3 to Parry, +6 to Dodge, +11 Initiative.

Call Lightening

Spec

5 miles

Instant

This spell, which is only usable above ground, causes the target object to be struck by lightening ( no matter what the weather conditions). The target must be visible to the Arcanist , and may be inside a building (in which case the building absorbs some or all of the lightening strike).

Each strike does damage equal ( 1D6 + (casters level / 2 (round down))) MDC per level of the caster.

The target may dodge the bolt but must roll an unmodified 19 or 20 to do so. If the unmodified dodge roll is a 1 then they take double damage.

Compulsion

Std

LOS upto 500ft

24 hours

This spell allows the Arcanist to implant an irresistable impulse into the mind of the target. The impulse should be reasonable and obtainable , but can be illogical. Typical impulses can be craving for certain types of candy, the need to visit a place or person, or an affliction to the environment ( the targets always too hot, too cold etc). Once the duration expires or a remove curse is cast upon the target the compulsion passes.

FireBall

Dge

900ft

Instant

The fireball inflicts ( 1D6 + (casters level / 2 (round down))) MDC per level of the caster and will ignite flammables along a conic path 1ft in diameter at the Caster and 10ft in diameter at the target.

If the reciepient cannot be found in the locale then the bird will wait until the recieient arrives or the duration elapses.

The pigeon can pass the message to a number of recipients equal to 1+1 per four levels of the caster. The bird has a chameleon ability such that it blends into the shape of the most numerous local bird species. It needs no food or rest and can fly 720 miles every 24hours at a speed of 30 mph.

Reduce Self

None

Self

10 rounds per level

This spell enables the Arcanist to shrink in size to between 50% and 95% his normal size. Anything carried by the Arcanist is shrunk accordingly. Normal weapons shrunk in this manner do 1 SDC for each 10 SDC they would normally inflict and MDC weapons damage in a similar ratio. Protective items retain their full protective value, and the Arcanist is -1 per 10% above 40% shrinkage to be hit( -1 at 50%, -2 at 60%, etc). The shrinkage reduces the Arcanists mass by 8% per 5% above 45% and physical attributes by 5% per 5% above 45% shrinkage.
