Contact with anyone is potentially lethal. The flesh itself isn't venomous, but sweat, blood, and spit is. A kiss is very lethal, and of course, no prostitute for you unless you want a dead hooker in your bed. On the plus side, the user is also immune to poison. This means that any contact with the artist's bodily fluid, especially sweat, requires a save vs. lethal poison. A failed save means a victim suffers 1D6 HIT POINT damage, and continues to suffer 1D6 HP damage for 1D4 melees.
Special O.C.C. Abilities:
Sense dimensional anomalies, rifts etc
Sense PPE, tap into ley lines, nexus, and creatures, as a magic user for Chi, PPE and ISP purposes (keep in mind that Chi users are masters of their PPE and that like mages they cannot have their Chi/PPE taken without their consent), and increases Chi/PPE/ISP regeneration with meditation (double the normal amount of PPE/ISP normally regained). Extra 2d6 PPE per level experience
Fatigue at only 1/10 the usual,
1. See and Use Ley lines: The wizard can see powerful magic energy emanating from the earth in a straight line. These lines of energy are known as ley lines. Where two or more ley lines intersect is a more powerful ley line nexus. The wizard recognizes these lines and junctions as places of power where he or she can draw on additional magical energy and where spells and powers are increased. A Wizard standing on a Ley Line will have twice the amount of mystical energy to use for his spells. Ley lines are natural lines of mystic energy that crisscross parts of the planet and bind together all things in the Megaverse. The ley lines are not visible to the average person. Only practitioners of magic and most creatures of magic can see the gentle flow of magic energy.
The wizard can also see mystic energy radiating from incredibly powerful creatures, such as ancient dragons, demon and devil lords, and godlings and gods, as well as the most powerful magic items, like the weapons of the gods and greater rune weapons.
2. Ley line Drifting: The wizard can open himself to the ley line energies and walk or float through the air along the length of a ley line. The maximum speed is a mere Spd 10, but it is relaxing and does not cause exertion or fatigue. Applicable only to the wizard; he cannot magically enable others to float along with him.
3. Ley Line Rejuvenation: When standing on a ley line or nexus, the wizard can absorb ley line energy to double the rate of natural healing. To do this, the character must concentrate on healing while relaxing on a ley line. The wizard can also use a ley line or nexus to perform an instant rejuvenation as often as once every 24 hours. After about 10 minutes of concentration, 2D6 hit points and 2D6 S.D.C. are magically restored.
Magical Enhancement Skills: As a wizards knowledge of magic grows, he can learn to cast spells in ways slightly different from how the spells were originally designed or learned. A wizard can learn to cast without having to say it's magical words, to cast a spell for greater effect, or to cast without anything but a moment's thought. Preparing and casting a spell in such a way is harder than normal, but thanks to the Magical Enhancement skills, at least it is possible. Any spell so adjusted through a Magical Enhancement skill is considered to be a spell of the next higher level in difficulty to learn or teach (ie: A third level spell would be considered a 4th level spell etc...). There are several Magical Enhancement skills that can be applied to a spell. Each skill that is used changes the spell complexity as stated above cumulatively. (ie the 3rd level spell is modified with 3 Magical Enhancement skills and so becomes a 6 level spell in terms of complexity). The Magical Enhancement Skills are as follows:
4. Empower Spell: With this skill, spells can be made to cast to greater effect. damage, beings affected and variable numerical values of like effect of the empowered spell are doubled. 5% per level chance of success.
5. Enlarge Spell: With this skill, spells can be made to cast farther. Range and area affect are doubled. 5% per level chance of success.
6. Extend Spell: With this skill, spell effects can be made to last longer. Spell duration is doubled. 5% per level chance of success.
7. Heighten Spell: With this skill, spells can be made to be cast as if they were of higher level. Spell effects dependent of spell level are calculated to the heightened level. Level of the spell is effectively doubled. 5% per level chance of success.
8. Maximize Spell: With this skill, spells can be cast to maximum effect. Damage, beings affected and variable numerical values of like effect of the maximized spell do maximum effect. 5% per level chance of success.
9. Quicken Spell: With this skill, spells can be cast at a moments thought. Casting time for a quickened spell is so fast the spell casting is considered a free action and not subject to initiative. 5% per level chance of success.
10. Silent Spell: With this skill, spells can be cast Silently. Incantations necessary to cast spells become mental, no vocalization is necessary. 5% per level chance of success.
11. Still Spell: With this skill, spells can be cast without gestures. Incantations necessary to cast spells become totally mental or vocal. 5% per level chance of success.

Range: 40m (132m)
Duration: 2 minutes per level of experience
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: 4
This spell enables teh character to sense or feel the presence of magic. Like a geiger counter, the individual can tell if it is near, or far. The ability can also indicate whether a person or object is enchanted/under a magic spell, is in the process of channeling magic energy, or if magic is being used in the range area. Note: To praciticioners of magic, most supernatural beings do not register as magic except when actually casting a spell/using magic. Psychic powers and manipulation cannot be detected with this.
Know Alignment
Levitation
Range: Up to 60ft (18.3m) away.
Duration: 3 minutes (12 melees) per level of experience.
Saving Throw: Standard
P.P.E.: 5
Magic levitation enables the invoker of the magic to raise himself, or other people, or an object, straight up into the air and suspend it there (hover). Movement is limited to straight up and down; no horizontal motion is possible. Weight is restricted to 2001bs (90kg) plus 201bs (9.1kg) per level of experience. Unwilling victims of the magic get a saving throw; a successful roll means the person is not affected by the levitation and remains planted firmly on the ground. Maximum height possible is 60ft (18.3m) plus 10ft (3m) per each level of experience. Targets can be affected up to 60ft (18.3m) away.,
All Dark Elves innately know the following spells, but it's possible for other wizards to learn these as well. MDC worlds these spells do MDC instead of S.D.C.:
Blinding Flash:
Range: 3m radius (10ft), up to 20m (66ft) away.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Standard
P.P.E. Cost: 1
This is the most basic of spells, which creates a sudden burst of intense, white light, temporarily blinding everyone in the radius. Victims are blinded for 1d4 melees, with a penalty for -5 to strike, and -10 to parry and dodge. The chance of falling is 1-50% for every 3m traveled. The saving throw is standard, so those who successfully save vs. magic are not blinded. Note: Does not affect bionic or cybernetic eyes.
Light Target:
Range: One target up to 3m (10ft) away or two by touch
Duration: Two minutes per level of experience
Saving Throw: Standard
P.P.E. Cost: 6
This spell may seem quite harmless but is designed for ill intent. The sorcerer can create a rather bright glow of light around any one victim (two by touch). The glow is intended to mark the character and make him stand out in a crowd - it is especially effective at night. Covering oneself with clothes or armor to attempt to obscure the light is impossible, for it is the person, not his possessions that are affected and the aura will appear around him no matter what he wears (this magic does not affect inanimate objects). Hiding behind closed doors, in a closet or trunk, or inside a vehicle may conceal the character, providing the radiating light can't be seen through crack, keyholes, windows, or other opening through which light can be seen. A simple yet potentially nasty spell.
DARK BOLT:
Range: 200ft.
PPE: 30
Duration: Instant.

DARK HAND OF DESTRUCTION:
Range: Touch. Requires a strike roll.
PPE: 50
Damage: 4D6 SDC and 3D6 HIT POINT damage.
Duration: Instant, any lasting effects last 3D4 melees.
Saving Throw: Dodge (Parry will only hurt, if not maim, your arm.), and if failed, Standard save. If saved, then only normal punch damage is inflicted. Parrying this has a 35% chance of totally BREAKING a weapon, and SHATTERING a blade like glass! If you parry with your arm, depending on damage, either your arm's have got some severely shattered bones, or there’s going to be one messy explosion as bits of your arm go everywhere. Dwarven and Kobold manufactured items only run a 15% risk, and Rune Blades and Indestructible weapons are unaffected. Critical strikes double the %.
The Casters hand is filled with Dark Energy as he strikes his opponent with his bare fist, doing heavy damage from just a mere punch. In addition, there’s a 50% chance the victim will be dazed, with -3 Init, -2 to Parry and Dodge, -1 to Strike. There’s also a 25% chance of being knocked unconscious for 1D4 minutes.

PPE: 40
Damage: Each target is struck 1D6 times, for 1D8 damage each time.
Duration: Lasts 2 melees.
Save: None, other than escaping the radius of effect.
The Spell caster calls up a strong wind, but just any wind. The air is sharp (literally) and the breeze is a burst of razor sharp blades. The Spell caster is unaffected, but everyone else will take unsalable damage unless they escape the radius of effect.
Globe of Darkness:
By using this spell, the Dark Elf/Drow can summon a ten-foot diameter sphere of absolute darkness that nothing can penetrate. No light of any kind (natural, artificial, or magical), no vision (normal, night vision, or infrared vision), no surveillance equipment, nothing can see through it.

Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: 4
This spell enables teh character to sense or feel the presence of magic. Like a geiger counter, the individual can tell if it is near, or far. The ability can also indicate whether a person or object is enchanted/under a magic spell, is in the process of channeling magic energy, or if magic is being used in the range area. Note: To praciticioners of magic, most supernatural beings do not register as magic except when actually casting a spell/using magic. Psychic powers and manipulation cannot be detected with this.
,
Sense Evil
Range: 25m (82.5ft) radius
Duration: Two minutes per level of experience
Saving Throw: None, however, a psychic mind block anything designed to protect from magic (like a circle of protection) will prevent this spell from working on those under the protect.
P.P.E. Cost: 2
This spell will enable the caster to feel or sense the presence of supernatural evil. It will indicate approximately how many supernatural evil presences are within the radius, one, a few, several, or many. It can also register the intensity of the evil and pinpoint the general location of the source to a particular room, object, or person, or an approximate distance (close, near, far etc.)
Evil emanations from human and most mortal beigns are much less distinct and cannot be sensed unless the source/person has an immediate and intense evil intention.
.
Females of fourth level or higher also gain (in addition to the previously mentioned spells) plus:
Oracle
Range: Self
Duration: One minute
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: 30
This Spell is the equivalent of clairvoyance. The spell caster receives one dream-like vision of a possible future. The focus of the vision will depend on what, when, or whom the mage is thinking about. The same basic rules apply to clairvoyance apply to the "oracle" invocation.
Words of Truth
Range: 1.5m (5ft)
Duration: One minute per level of experience
Saving Throw: Standard, but the enchanted person makes a saving throw for each question asked. A successful saving throw means he doesn't have to answer. Questions can be repeated.
P.P.E. Cost: 15
A person affected by this enchantment is compelled to answer any and all questions truthfully. The spell caster must be within range and he can ask two brief questions per melee. It is wise to keep questions simple and to avoid confusion. The victim is compelled to answer only the spell caster.
Compulsion
Range: 60ft (18.3m) and within line of vision.
Duration: 24 hours
Saving Throw: Standard
P.P.E. Cost: 20
The spell caster can implant a sudden desire or need in another person's mind. The focus of the irresistible impulse should be something reasonable and attainable, although the motive may seem quite irrational.
The enchanted person will be consumed with the object or action of the implanted compulsion, whether it be something very simple, like a craving for a candy bar, or the need to visit somebody or something more extravagant. The victim of this enchantment will be obsessed with attaining whatever it is for the full duration time of the incantation or until it is attained. A "remove curse" will also negate the compulsion.
Negate Magic
Range: Touch or 60ft (18.3m).
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Special (Ritual magic has a greater chance of success).
P.P.E. Cost: 30
This incantation will instantly cancel the effects or influence of most magic. To determine whether the negation is successful or not roll a saving throw. If the roll is a successful save against the magic used, its influence is immediately destroyed/negated/canceled. 12, 13, 14, or 15 is needed for spell magic depending on the experience level of the mage (usually 12 or 13 is needed, or 16 and higher to save vs. ritual magic). A failed saves means the negation attempt did not work. Try again if sufficient P.P.E. is available.
Negation will not work against possession, exorcism, constrain being, banishment, talisman, amulet, enchanted objects, symbols/circles of protection, wards, summoning magic, zombies, golems, restoration or healings/cures. Negation can be attempted to cancel a curse, but only has a 25% possibility of succeeding, and that's only if the saving throw was successful. Of course, it has no affect against psychic abilities or the machines of a psi-mechanic.
.

Garments of the Traveler:
These enchanted garments are popular with Adventures of all type. There are few things worse than being cold and wet while traveling through the wilderness. These specially enchanted clothing are very similar in nature to the "Environmental Tent." The magical clothing will protect the wearer from most weather and keep a comfortable temperature of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius). The garments protect from both heat and cold, making them popular in northern areas, jungles, and deserts. While the garment will protect the wearer from rain, it will not protect the person from getting wet if they are immersed in water such as from crossing a river or from getting caught in flooding water. It will still keep the wearer at a comfortable temperature and when the person is no longer immersed, all water soaked into the magic garment (but not other garments) will be repelled to the outside of the clothing and drip off. The garment will not provide protection from drowning or from gas attacks. The garment is usually not fancy but normally good quality and sturdy travel cloths. The most common style of the garments are those of a tunic and leggings. The tunic will have a hood to protect the wearer's head. Some Wizards have hooded robes and some female travels will have a long skirt instead of leggings. Whatever the style of the clothing, it must cover the body to provide full protection. A simple jacket would not protect the entire wearer and the less said about the idea of "Bikini of the Traveler" the better. The Garments usually do not clean themselves but can be designed to repel dirt and to magically stay clean.
Ring of Cleaning:
A simple magic ring that is very popular with adventures and a whole host of other people. In many cases, an adventure just simply cannot take the time to fully clean up. The ability can be activated three times per day. When the power is activated, any dirt, oil, or other foreign materials is immediately removed from the wear, the wearers cloths, and the wearers gear. This has a secondary effect of greatly reducing odor.

Book-Wyrm Familiar: Ant’aun Zau-ath (Deadly Dancer Child of The Dragon)
These small, dragon-like creatures are common magical familiars throughout North America. Small, yet intelligent, these creatures are a fine asset to any wizard yearning for a good familiar. They are very catlike in personality; honest yet with an attitude. They come in a multitude of colors and are almost as varied as their larger "cousins."
They got the name "Book-Wyrm" from being commonly found in the presence of wizards. They are also notorious for sprawling on bookshelves when resting.

SAVE: Not Applicable

Cost: 2 P.P.E. (FREE on RIFTS Earth)
Comp: Verbal (name of some body pest), Gesture (point to the area of the itch)

Comp: Verbal (clacking sound made with tongue on palate), Gesture (tapping motion made with 1 to 3 fingers)
Effect: Creates an invisible force that will tap or rap against some solid object. The sound will occur 1-3 times, depending on how many fingers the caster makes the gesture component with.

Comp: Verbal (name of knot), Gesture (hold up 3 fingers)

Effect: This spell creates a strong and sturdy wrapping around the desired target i.e. a bit of herbs, a heap of flour, a bundle of cloth, etc. The material created is of a suitable type and thickness for the item(s) to be wrapped.

SAVE: Not Applicable, cannot be used on living targets
YAWN

Cost: 2 P.P.E. (FREE on RIFTS Earth)
Comp: Verbal (hum a lullabye), Gesture (rocking motion with cupped hands)

Spells known:
Blossom Fury (Level 2 Spell)
Range: 90 feet (27.4 m).
Duration: 4 melees per level of experience.
Saving throw: None for visual impairments; Save versus Poison for pollen
P.P.E. ™: 4
Effect: This spell is very popular among the Ninja and faerie folk of the Pacific Rim. A flurry of fragrant flower petals will start to fall and dance upon wind currents creating a beautiful wonder to behold. Within seconds, this turns to a downpour, obscuring sight and smell as if caught is a blizzard. What's worse, all caught within the area of affect without facial protection must save versus poison or suffer horrific allergies. These may include burning, watery eyes, sneezing, extreme congestion leading to the possibility of inhalation of the blossoms gasping for air.
All within the area of affect are nearly blinded by the array of bombarding blossoms, limiting visibility (by any means) to 5 feet (1.5 m) and all tracking abilities by scent become useless due to the overwhelming masking scent of the flower petals. While within the blossom fury, victims will be -4 to strike, parry and dodge. If they do not have proper protection (goggles, air filtration, mask, etc.) they will also suffer an additional penalty of -1 to strike, parry and dodge. These added penalties will last up to 2D4 melees after the spell's duration has elapsed.
Mask Scent (Level 2 Spell)
Range: 10 foot radius (3 m) plus 3 feet (1 m) per each additional level of experience.
Duration: 48 melees (12 minutes) plus 24 melees (6 minutes) per each additional level of experience.
Saving throw: None
P.P.E.: Three
Effect: The casting of this spell will completely mask the scent of the caster (or object cast upon), including equipment, within the radius of effect. Everything will become odorless, forcing creatures that track by smell, to rely on visual and audio clues. This is also handy for such uses as masking the scent of a cooked meal, negating the nauseous stench of the undead, and fumigating an outhouse, among others.
Tread less Path (Level 2 Spell)
Range: 10 foot radius (3 m) plus 3 feet (1 m) per each additional level of experience.
Duration: 36 melees (9 minutes) plus 24 melees (6 minutes) per each additional level of experience.
Saving throw: None
P.P.E.: Three
Effect: Upon casting this spell, the enchanted person and/object(s) will leave no visible tracks. Walking in malleable surfaces such as mud will immediately fill in the indentions made, restoring the ground to its prior untouched state. This spell is ideal for throwing off trackers. This spell, however, does not mask the scent of the person or item(s) that this spell is cast upon.
HOLY SYMBOL: Lesser
Level: 2
Range: Touch or 1 ft per level of experience.
Duration: 5 minutes per level of experience.
Damage: Special; see effect.
Saving Throw: Standard (even ordinary objects get a chance to save).
P.P.E. Cost: 5
Effect: This spell will enchant any ordinary object to become a temporary holy symbol that will keep evil creatures at bay such as vampires who naturally fear and/or are damaged by holy symbols. To such creatures the holy symbol will have a horror factor of 10 +1 every other level of experience (3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15). Evil people or those not ordinarily affected by holy symbols are unaffected
Glow
Level: 1
Range: Self or 30ft radius around caster.
Duration: Five minutes per level.
Casting Time: One melee action
Damage: None
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: 2
This spell is similar to the other first level spells of Blinding Flash and Globe of Daylight. In this case, the photo kinetic energy is spread out over a longer duration. The mage can vary the color, size, and shape of the glow to create a display of pretty lights. The glow isn't really enough to see by (less than the light produced by a few candles). It's great for distractions, impressing children, training young illusionists, and making a mage seem more intimidating (+1 to horror factor when the glow is radiated from one's self, eyes, clothes, staff, etc.)
Sterilize
Level: 1
Range: 12ft
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: One melee action
Damage: None
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: 2
This spell is useful in medical situations and in removing dust and other particles from surfaces. Each invocation affects one cubic foot or a four square foot surface area (depending on the task at hand) per level. All dust, harmful bacteria, powder, small loose particles, and external viruses are destroyed. Casting this spell is a good idea when there is a chance of infection from wounds. Multiple castings can also help to prevent the spreading of gangrene and other similar diseases.
Flare
Level: 1
Range: 500 feet maximum (can be seen for several miles)
Duration: Two melees (approximately 30 seconds)
Damage: None
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: 2
This spell creates a tiny but brilliant spark of light that is used as a beacon. The mystical flare is created at an altitude of 500 feet in the air, where it will slowly drift downwards for two melees before ending (reaching a final height of approximately 400 feet). While the maximum height of the flare is 500 feet, the flare itself can be seen as far as five miles away. The flare invocation cannot be used to blind opponents (see Blinding Flash).
Clothe
Level: 7
Range: Self or others by touch
Duration: Permanent
Damage: None
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: 20
A rather minor spell, Clothe does exactly what it sounds like it does. It creates clothing. The wearable goods are of decent quality, but do not possess any special properties (no MDC armor, etc.). The goods do not radiate magic, are permanent once created, and are susceptible to the same types of hazards normal clothes are susceptible to. This spell is often used by mages and creatures who have the spell or ability of metamorphosis, to avoid appearing naked in public areas.
Singing Insect
Level: Level 1
Range: 90 foot (27.4 m) radius.
Duration: 4 melees per level of experience.
Saving throw: None
P.P.E.: 2
Extremely useful to rogues, this spell will conjure up the background sounds of insect life common to the area. They will start softly and unnoticeably rise in volume, masking the sounds of the character and all within the spell's range, giving them a 95% effective Prowl skill as far as not being detected by sound. They will still need to stay out of sight, however. These sounds are also magical in nature and cause a calming affect, giving the caster a bonus of +2 to initiative.
The volume can also be increased causing an almost deafening chorus. Everyone within the spell's range will suffer -1 to strike, parry and dodge due to the distracting numbing noise. These chirps travel so well that all those within 300 feet (91.5 m) will still hear faint calls, giving the caster an effective Prowl skill of 62% (or +15% if the skill is known) as far as not being detected by sound.
Aura

Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: Two
This incantation can be cast on a object or a person. Once cast it causes the target to appear as if glowing a
bluish light. The light will illuminate an area of up to 3ft from the target. Practioners above first level can
control the color for one extra PPE at the time of casting. If cast on a person it does not interfere with vision.
The glow is barely visible in full daylight. It can not be cast on a specific body part (like the eyes), but can
target a individuals items (like a weapon). The spell will not illuminate an area larger then man size (such as a
horse).
Player: I cast glow on the sword and the go to the local armorer's shop. I explain to the armorer that it is a magic
sword.
GM: Ok the armorer calls in the local mage to cast sense magic on the weapon. The mage confirms that the
sword appears magical. The armorer pays you a handsome price for such a rare weapon.
Player: I collect the money and smile. Then I beat feet out of town before the spell wears of.
Law of Identification
Range: 60 feet
Duration: One use per casting
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: 2

or blood as coming from a specific person if they are within the Range of the spell. This can be very useful in
prosecuting crimes.

Range: 40 feet
Duration: One use per casting
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: 4

Marking
Range: Touch
Duration: Infinite
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: 5
Frankly, a rather useless spell allowing the wizard to "Decorate" One of his familiars with markings or colors.

Mystic Symbol
Range: Touch

P.P.E.: 2

20 P.P.E. to cast will also be noticeable to the recipient of this spell.
Mage Clean
Range: 10 square feet per level of experience
Duration: Instant
Saving throw: not applicable
P.P.E.: 4/8
This is an often overlooked but important spell used for domestic purposes. This spell is similar in many ways to the spell ‘Cleanse' but is specialized for use on inanimate objects. The magical energy of the spell magical removes dirt, grime, stains, and whatever else the mage considers unclean. This spell is often taught to mages just learning magic and is know by most mages. With game masters permission, a mage may know this spell to start without taking another spell's slot. The spell normally does not get rid of diseases and bacteria although it will get rid of fleas, ticks, and other similar vermin. If the spell caster spends four extra P.P.E., the spell with also disinfect and get rid of diseases and bacteria as well.
Magic Pick
Range: 5 ft
Duration: 15 seconds (1 melee)
Saving Throw: None
PPE: 5
This spell enables the caster to pick any simple key locks through the use of magic. Complex locks (IE:
safe/vault/digital/combination/etc) can not be opened with this spell.
Crystal Battery
PPE: (20)
This is, in effect, one of the only incantation spells that really requires physical components, crystals. This spell requires quality crystal to store magic energy, but only magic energy... not spells.
Effect: Stores magic energy (PPE) in a crystal
PPE Stored: a crystal can hold 1 PPE per 50 credits of value
When PPE is stored in a crystal, it does glow (whatever color the crystal is) and radiates magic quite clearly (cannot be hidden). The mage casting the spell can put as much energy in the crystal as s/he desires, as long as the crystal can handle the energy and the energy is available (from self, ley lines, etc.).
Magic Bolt
Range: 90ft +10ft per level.
Duration: Instant
Damage: See description
Saving Throw: Dodge an 18 or better.
Destabilization: None
P.P.E.: 12
This is a purely magical equivalent of the FireBall spell. The caster generates a magical disturbance, which he
can then throw at a target. Physical targets suffer a mere 1D4 SDC per level of experience, while living targets
suffer the same damage (never does hit point damage) plus are disoriented and confused for the rest of the
melee (-2 on all combat rolls and lose the next attack).
The greatest value of this spell is against those creatures vulnerable to magic. Against them this spell does 1D4
MDC per level of the caster and causes the victim to be -1 to save vs. magic per hit for 1D4 melees. Multiple
magic bolts do add up, but the maximum penalty is -4. This will definitely split Zavor in two.
Blinding Flash
Range: 3m radius (10ft), up to 20m (66ft) away.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Standard
P.P.E. Cost: (1)
This is the most basic of spells, which creates a sudden burst of intense, white light, temporarily blinding everyone in the radius. Victims are blinded for 1d4 melees, with a penalty for -5 to strike, and -10 to parry and dodge. The chance of falling is 1-50% for every 3m traveled. The saving throw is standard, so those who successfully save vs. magic are not blinded. Note: Does not affect bionic or cybernetic eyes.

Duration: 1 minute per level
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: (2)

While in the cloud, victims will be -5 to strike, and -9 to parry and dodge.
Death Trance
Range: Self
Duration: 3 minutes per level of experience
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. Cost: (1)
A magically induced trance with makes the sorcerer appear to be dead. There is no breathing, pulse, heartbeat, or any other signs of life. While in the trance, the character is quite helpless (for obvious reasons). Only minor physical sensations can be felt, such as being jostled, carried or hearing voices, but no specific identification or memories can be recalled.

It can also register the intensity of the evil and pinpoint the general location of the source to a particular room, object, or person, or an approximate distance (close, near, far etc.)
Evil emanations from human and most mortal beigns are much less distinct and cannot be sensed unless the source/person has an immediate and intense evil intention.
Sense Magic
Range: 40m (132m)
Duratin: 2 minutes per level of experience
Saving Throw: None
M.P.: 4
This spell enables teh character to sense or feel the presence of magic. Like a geiger counter, the individual can tell if it is near, or far.

Range: Self or others by touch
Duration: One minute per level of experience
Saving Throw: None
M.P.: (10)
This spell instantly creates an invisible suit of mystic armor on the spell caster. This armor has an A.R. of 18 and 25 S.D.C. /M.D.C. per level of experience. Furthermore, magic fire, lightning, and cold do half damage.
Light Target
Range: One target up to 3m (10ft) away or two by touch
Duration: Two minutes per level of experience
Saving Throw: Standard
M.P.: 6
This spell may seem quite harmless but is designed for ill intent. The sorcerer can create a rather bright glow of light around any one victim (two by touch). The glow is intended to mark the character and make him stand out in a crowd - it is especially effective at night. Covering oneself with clothes or armor to attempt to obscure the light is impossible, for it is the person, not his possessions that are affected and the aura will appear around him no matter what he wears (this magic does not affect inanimate objects). Hiding behind closed doors, in a closet or trunk, or inside a vehicle may conceal the character, providing the radiating light can't be seen through crack, keyholes, windows, or other opening through which light can be seen. A simple yet potentially nasty spell.
Escape
Range: Self, touch, or 1.5m (5ft)
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None
M.P.: (8)
The escape spell enables the mage to magically escape any normal bonds or open any locking mechanism that bars his way. This includes being tied with rope, handcuffs, prison cells, doors, trunks, locks, straightjackets, etc. One restraint or lock can be undone per each invocation. Only gagging the mage will prevent the use of this magic, and only magic restraints and locks are unaffected by this spell.
Eyes of Thoth

Duration: 10 minutes per level of experience
Saving Throw: None
M.P.: (8)

Carpet of Slickness
Range: 30ft per level of experience of the caster
Duration: 10 melees per level experience
Saving Throw: Special
PPE: Fifteen
This is a reversed spell of Carpet of Adhesion and one cast in the area of another will cancel each other out. The spell creates an extremely slippery carpet. The victims will find their footing/grasp challenged. The spell may be cast on walls, floors, tables, doors, etc. or a person. As the adhesion spell the caster can alter the size and shape within the limit of 200 sq. ft.
Saving Throw: If cast on a floor and if a successful save versus magic is made the targets loses one melee attack per round a new save must be made at the beginning of each melee phase for the duration of the spell. If the save is failed the target loses their footing and falls down and loses all melee attacks that round a successful save and the target regains footing.
If cast on a person they have +2 to parry, dodge and -2 to be struck (attacker -2 to strike person with Carpet of Slickness cast on them) in hand to hand combat (not ranged). Also pins and grappling automatically fail. A target will find it hard to pick up and hold on to objects unless already holding the items before the spell was cast.
If cast on a wall that a character is trying to climb a save vs. magic must be made if failed they will fall or lose their grip. If the save is made a -25% to climb the wall (this also applies to ropes and ladders).
GM: The thief is getting away by scaling the wall.
Player 1: I think I can shoot him down. But it might kill him and then we'll never find out who sent him.
Player 2: Wait I'll cast Carpet Of Slickness on the wall!
GM: He failed his save "Ahhhhhhh <THUD>"
Does no actual damage but does give a -2 to strike, parry, and dodge. NOTE: If the mage is not in combat the extra shadows all mimic the original.
Carpet of Adhesion

Area of Affect: 18 square meters.Duration: 2.5 minutes per level of experience

M.P.: (10)
The spell caster creates a sticky carpet, up to 3m wide by 6m long, that will adhere firmly to anyone who touches it. The victim will stay stuck to the carpet until the duration elapses or the spell is canceled. Can be cast upon any flat surface, the size
Familiar Link
Range: Self and animal; 200m (660ft)
Duration: Indefinite
Saving Throw: None
M.P.: 55
At third level, a practitioner of magic is experienced enough to mentally link with a small animal. This link is permanent, producing a rather impressive symbiotic relationship. No matter how wild or mean the animal may have been, it will instantly consider the mage to be its friend, companion, and master. To him, the animal is always docile and submissive, because the two are now one; an extension of each other. As such, both man and animal will understand each other completely. For the mage, the familiar is now a sensory extension enabling him to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel everything the animal experiences. Thus, familiars make great spies, listening to conversations and prowling into areas not easily accessible to their masters. Although the familiar understands and obeys the mage, it cannot actually speak to him.
Just as the mage knows what the familiar is feeling, so the familiar knows what its master is experiencing on an empathic and telepathic level. If one is in danger the other will know it. The magical nature of the union also provides the mage and the familiar both with an additional six hit points. However, if the familiar is hurt or attacked, its master also feels the damage as if it were happening to him, even if miles apart. If the familiar is killed, the arcanist permanently loses 10 hit points! There is also a 50% chance he will suffer shock from the ordeal. If he does, he will lapse into a coma for 1d6 hours, another familiar link cannot be tried again for atleast 1d4 years.
Other Limitations & Notes About the Familiar Link:
1. Two-way telepathic and empathic communication, maximum 200m (660ft). Beyond this range the two cannot communicate but each will know if the other is in dnager or hurt regardless of the distance between them. The animal will also understand spoken commands by its master on an almost human level. The mage will have a keen understand and perception of his animal companion's reactions, growls, noises, and body language.
2. The familiar possess all the abilities common for that type of animal.
3. Familiar size, 11kg (25lbs) maximum.
