Creating and Casting Spells:Spells are constructed from the Words of Power the caster has learned and memorized. There are 3 types of words of power: Target Words, which define who the spell targets and what form it takes; Effect Words, which define what the spell does to its targets; and Metawords, which modify the spell or spellcasting process in different ways. Spells normally contain 1 Target Word, and can contain any number of Metawords, but the number of Effect Words depends on what Circle the spell belongs to: 1st Circle Spells consist of 1 Effect Word, 2nd Circle Spells consist of up to 2 Effect Words, and 3rd Circle Spells consist of up to 3 Effect Words. Many Effect and Target words can change or amplify their effects by adding additional syllables, listed under each Word of Power. These increase the Spellpower of the spell, but don't require an additional Effect Word.
When attempting to cast a spell, you must succeed at an Arcana skill check (DC = 10 + Spellpower of the Spell), and your Armor Check penalty applies. Failure means the spell fizzles and is lost, and may cause other effects depending on what kind of Spellcaster you are. You must also maintain concentration during the Spellcasting process, and if you are injured you must succeed at a Fortitude Save (DC = Damage Taken + Spellpower of the Spell), or the spell will be lost as though you failed your Spellcasting check. You can also attempt to identify the Words of Power and the effects of a spell as it's being cast, with a successful Knowledge (Spellcraft) skill check (DC = 10 + Spellpower of the Spell).
If a given spell has multiple instantaneous effects, which have no duration, they each resolve separately. However, any spell effects with a duration are linked, and only last as long as the shortest effect in the spell. For example, if you combined an Invisibility effect with a Haste effect in a single spell, they would share the shorter duration of the two, and if the invisibility effect wore off early (say, if the target attacked and broke the effect) the Haste effect would wear off as well.
Touch (Spellpower 0): Spell is imbued in the caster’s body, and does not take effect until discharged by a melee touch attack, or by striking and damaging a Target with a melee weapon. Creates a 5’ area of effect centered on Target if appropriate. Spell dissipates if not discharged in 1d4 + Caster Level rounds, or if another spell replaces it.
+ Aura: The effect creates an aura around the touched target, discharging when the target is touched or damaged in a melee attack by another creature. +1 Spellpower.
+ Mass: Spell can be discharged up to Caster Level times before dissipating. +2 Spellpower.
Selection (Spellpower 0): Spell affects one target within Close Range. Creates a 5’ area of effect centered on target if appropriate.
+ Far: Range increases to Medium. +1 Spellpower.
+ Mass: Spell affects one target per Caster Level, no two of which can be more than 30 feet apart. +2 Spellpower.
Bolt (Spellpower 0): Make a Ranged Attack against one target within Medium Range. If you succeed, the spell affects the target, and creates a 5’ area of effect centered on target if appropriate.
+ Far: Range increases to Long. +1 Spellpower
+ Mass: You may make an additional Ranged Attack for every 2 Caster Levels. You may aim multiple attacks against any target in range. Their spell effects are cumulative. +2 Spellpower.
Burst (Spellpower 1): Spell affects every target within a 10’ radius burst centered on the caster. The caster may exclude themselves from the effect.
+ Cone: The burst becomes cone-shaped, and the total radius is doubled. +1 Spellpower
+ Large: The area of effect increases to a 20’ radius burst centered on the caster. +2 Spellpower
Line (Spellpower 1): Spell affects every target within a 20’ line.
+ Shaped: You may change the direction of the line at any point. +1 Spellpower
+ Long: Spell affects every target within a 60’ line. +2 Spellpower
Emanation (Spellpower 1): Spell affects every target within a 10’ radius burst from a designated source within Close Range. The source may be a creature, an object, or a location, and may be excluded from the effect. The source can move out of range from you and remain in effect. If a source is a location, you can shift the location of a source up to 20’ per round as a Move Action.
+ Large: The range increases to 20’ radius, and Medium Range. +1 Spellpower
+ Mass: You may designate an additional source within range, for every 2 Caster Levels. Multiple bursts will not affect the same target. +2 Spellpower
Glyph (Spellpower 1): A magical glyph from the language of magick manifests on a surface, creature, or object. The glyph can be any size, with a maximum area less than Close Range. When first cast, the spell’s effects are suspended until triggered by the target. The caster sets the trigger that will discharge the spell when it’s first cast. Triggers can include reading the glyph, touching the glyph, opening a door bearing the glyph, speaking a word in the presence of the glyph, etc., but the target must be within Close Range to trigger it. You may set other triggers based on observable qualities or actions involving the target and the glyph, and they may be as simple or elaborate as you wish, even so far as being triggered by the first male humanoid over 4’ tall to trace the shape of the glyph with an index finger. Glyphs remain in effect until discharged or dispelled, but you may only have one glyph active at any time. The glyph can be any size, so long as it fits entirely within Close Range. Glyphs are written in the language of Magick, and a successful Arcana check can decipher the glyph’s effect and trigger without discharging the spell, the same way it’s used to identify spells being cast. A failed Arcana check does not protect you from triggering the glyph as normal.
+ Invisible: The glyph is hidden from normal vision, but can be seen with Astral Sight. +1 Spellpower
+ Mass: You may create additional glyphs up to your Caster Level. +2 Spellpower
Truesight (Divination, Spellpower 1): Allows targets to see more than their eyes normally can, for 1d4 rounds. Grants one of the following enhancements to natural sight, out to a range of 30 feet:
= Astral Sight: Grants the ability to see the creatures and energies of the Astral Plane, and detect Magickal auras and the schools of any ongoing enchantments or effects. Does not pierce Invisibility effects, but other illusions generate an aura of illusion.
Will Negates - Harmless.
= Lifesense: Grants the ability to see the Positive Energy of animate beings. Pierces invisibility effects, so long as the target is living.
= Dowsing: Grants the ability to sense the presence, nature, and purity or concentration of a certain material, chosen when the spell is cast. Dowsing for Water can be used to search for sources of fresh water in the desert, while Dowsing for Metal reveals the presence of metallic objects. This pierces invisibility effects, so long as the object or creature is composed primarily of the chosen material.
+ Extended: This effect lasts for 1 minute per Caster Level. +1 Spellpower
Telepathy (Divination, Spellpower 1): Allows Caster to sense Target’s surface thoughts and emotions, observe the Target's surroundings using their senses, or share their own thoughts, emotions, and senses with the Target, as a Free Action at any point during the duration of the spell. Sensing the thoughts and emotions of others can influence your own thoughts and emotions, and using another’s physical senses overrides your own, making you unable to see, hear, smell, or feel with your own body while so doing. Lasts 1d4 rounds. Will Negates.
+ Extended: This effect lasts for 1 minute per Caster Level. +1 Spellpower
+ Linked: The caster and targets may freely share thoughts, surface emotions, and physical senses with each other, and with all other Targets included in this spell. Targets can send mental messages to one another in this way, allow others to see through their senses, etc. +2 Spellpower.
Omen (Divination, Spellpower 1): You grant the Target a glimpse of a possible future, granting them a +1 Luck bonus (or a -1 Luck penalty) to either Attack and Defense Rolls, Saving Throws, or Skill Tests, for 1 Round per Caster Level. Will Negates.
+ Extended: This effect lasts for 1 minute per Caster Level. +1 Spellpower.
+ Greater: Once during the duration, when the Target would roll a d20, you may have them roll twice and accept either the higher or lower result. +2 Spellpower.
Augury (Divination, Spellpower 4): The Caster enters a prophetic trance, during which the Target can ask and have questions answered. Targets may ask questions about present and past events, which are answered as True, False, True and False, or Uncertain. They can also ask whether good or bad results will come from taking a certain action, which is answered as Weal, Woe, Weal and Woe, or Uncertain. Prophetic visions only see the most possible futures, and are not always accurate. The trance lasts for 1 minute, or until they have answered one question per Caster Level. The Caster may not Target and ask questions of themselves, and remember only the questions and the answers they gave once their trance ends.
Astral Projection (Divination, Spellpower 4): Allows the Target to separate their Astral body from their physical one, allowing them to interact directly with the Astral plane, or remotely observe events in the physical world, for 10 minutes per Caster Level. Astral forms are Ethereal, and can fly 80 ft. per round (roughly one mile in 5 minutes). They can safely move up to 1 mile from their body, but traveling farther exposes their body to possession by an Astral spirit. Astral forms can’t interact with or be affected by physical creatures or objects, but may be affected by spells or magickal weapons, and can cast spells against physical creatures by increasing the Spellcasting check DC by 10. They may see and interact with other Astral creatures as though they were physical, using their Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma attributes in place of their Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution attributes for skill tests and other normally physical actions. Astral Forms don’t have the benefit of any of their equipment, and any damage dealt to an Astral Form is treated as Nonlethal damage. Losing consciousness while in Astral Form, or the spell ending while the target is still separated from their physical body, exposes the target’s body to possession by an Astral Spirit. Will Negates.

Echo (Illusion, Spellpower 1): Creates illusionary sounds, ranging from the faint sound of footsteps to a mob of shouting voices. The caster determines the nature of the sounds when the spell first takes effect, and they will repeat for the duration of the spell. Lasts for 1 minute per Caster Level. Will Disbelieves. If an illusion behaves in a way that isn't consistent with reality, it allows targets to make a new Will save to disbelieve them... for instance, seeing that the angry mob they hear shouting in the next room isn't there.
+ Extended: Effect lasts for 1 hour per Caster Level. +2 Spellpower
+ Programmed: The illusions are capable of reacting to their environment. The caster may give simple commands for the illusions to move, shift in volume, or change in other ways depending on their surroundings, and may change these commands at any time. +2 Spellpower.
Figment (Illusion, Spellpower 1): Creates soundless, insubstantial illusions. The caster determines the nature of the illusions when the spell first takes effect. These illusions are static, and unable to move or react to their environment. Lasts 1 minute per Caster Level. Will Disbelieves. If an illusion behaves in a way that isn't consistant with reality, it allows targets to make a new Will save to disbelieve them... for instance, noticing that a strong breeze is blowing through what appears to be a solid wall.
+ Extended: Effect lasts for 1 hour per Caster Level. +2 Spellpower
+ Programmed: The illusions are capable of reacting to their environment. The caster may give simple commands for the illusions to move or act in a certain way, and react to their surroundings, and may change these commands at any time. +2 Spellpower.
+ Phantasmal: The illusions become quasi-real. Illusions don’t have true substance, or exert physical force, but intelligent beings interact with them as though they were – they are convinced that an illusionary wall is holding them back and will be unable to pass through it, or that an illusionary fire is burning them. These illusions can cause those that believe them to be real to will Nonlethal damage to themselves. These illusions only deal 20% normal damage, and can only affect conscious, intelligent creatures capable of sensing them. Physically interacting with the illusion immediately provokes a new Will Save to disbelieve the illusion. +2 Spellpower
Glamour (Illusion, Spellpower 1): Alters the sensory qualities of the target, making it look, sound, feel, smell, or taste like something else. You can’t add or remove a sensory quality from the target using this effect, but can mask them as something of the same magnitude. For example, though you can’t make footsteps on stone silent, you could make them sound like a flow of water or scurrying rats. Similarly, you couldn’t make a Dwarf look and sound as big as a Giant, but you could make them look, sound, and smell like a pile of hay, or a Goblin of roughly the same size. The caster determines the nature of the changes when the spell first takes effect. Lasts 1 minute per Caster Level. Will Disbelieves.
+ Extended: Effect lasts for 1 hour per Caster Level. +2 Spellpower
+ Greater: You can strengthen or diminish the sensory qualities of the target, for instance making a creature appear one size category smaller or larger, make a galloping horse sound like a small stampede, or making a strong stench smell like mild wildflowers. +2 Spellpower.

+ Greater: You may order the target to take any action it is currently capable of, and may change these orders at any time during the duration. +2 Spellpower

This effect lasts for 1 minute. Fortitude Negates.
+ Extended: This effect lasts for 10 minutes per caster level. +2 Spellpower.
+ Greater: Target creature may be changed into an Animal or Humanoid of Tiny, Small, Medium, or Large size, granting appropriate bonuses and penalties for their new size.

Earth may be formed as follows:

Wind may be created as follows:
= Gust: Wind blows in toward the origin, out from the origin, or in one direction across the area of effect, including up or down.

This resets the durations of non-instantaneous effects, and recreates instantaneous effects once more. If you are damaged while sustaining this spell, it provokes a Spellcasting check as through damaged while casting, with normal effects on a failed check. You may Concentrate and sustain a spell for up to Caster Level rounds. +3 Spellpower.
