Now, a brief word of explanation for some of these spells. Several of them are direct damage, single target spells, and they seem to be pretty damned devasating. Well, essentially, yes, they can be, but I stand by the years of playtesting they've had. I can safely say that what they gain in specificity they more than lose in being ineffective against multiple foes. There are so many diifferent forms of this type of spell in my campaign because that's how it goes with mages; they all want to do things their own way when developing spells! So the frst four spells presented here are all basically the same, they just do different sorts of damage. There's another four or five variants in my spell notepad, though! This is the first part of the list of third level spells. More another time! Firebolt Range: 240' Duration: Instant Effect: 1" bolt of fire This spell creates a 1" bolt of hot, burning gas that instantly flies from the casters hand to a chosen target. Only one individual target or creature can be struck, and the caster mst have a clear line of site to any foe. Damage inflicted is 1d6 per level of experience of the caster (fire damage), to a maximum of 20d6, but the victim may save versus spells for half damage. Frostbite Range: 240' Duration: Instant Effect: 1" bolt freezing ice This spell creates a 1" intense cold blast that instantly flies from the casters hand to a chosen target. Only one individual target or creature can be struck, and the caster mst have a clear line of site to any foe. Damage inflicted is 1d6 per level of experience of the caster (cold damage), to a maximum of 20d6, but the victim may save versus spells for half damage. Obsidians Shard Range: 240' Duration: Instant Effect: 1 Shard of crystal This spell creates a small shard of sharp, black crystal that flies from the casters hand to a chosen target. Only one individual target or creature can be struck, and the caster mst have a clear line of site to any foe. Damage inflicted is 1d6 per level of experience of the caster (puncturing damage), to a maximum of 20d6, but the victim may save versus spells for half damage. Spark Range: 240' Duration: Instant Effect: 1 Electric Spark This spell creates a spark that flies from the casters hand to a chosen target. Only one individual target or creature can be struck, and the caster mst have a clear line of site to any foe. Damage inflicted is 1d6 per level of experience of the caster (electrical damage), to a maximum of 20d6, but the victim may save versus spells for half damage. Quench Range: 120' Duration: 4 rounds Effect: 40 radius This handy utility spell will instantly douse all non-magical fires in its area of effect (anything less than a bonfire), and for the duration of the spell will prevent such fires from re-starting. Cardiac Arrest Range: 120' Duration: Instant Effect: 1 Creature The unfortunate recipient of this spell must make a saving throw versus spells or immediately have their heart stop. Death wil occur in 2d4 rounds, unless healing is applied (dispel magic, cure serious wounds or more potent healing magic will save the victim; cure light wounds wil not be effective). A successful saving throw versus spells will allow the victim to escape with a little light heartburn; for each HD or level of the victim above 1 a +1 bonus to the saving throw applies. No victim of above 6HD can be affected. Batsight Range: Touch Duration: 1 Day Effect: One recipient Upon casting, a willing recipient will become able to emit and perceive ultrasound for one day. Effectively this gives the recipient the same capacity to use ultrasound as a bat, with a range of 120'. Areas of magical silence are impenetrable to this spell. Summon Gremlin 2 (Giggling Menace) Range: 60' Duration: 1 tun per level of the caster Effect: Summons one determined gremlin This annoying spell calls into existence a gremlin (see RCor Companion Rules). Said gremlin will then amuse itself at the expense of the casters stated target (who may save versus spells to avoid the effect) until the duration ends or (more likely) the gremlin is killed. Acid Gob Range: 180' Duration: Instant (1 round per 3 caster levels) Effect: 1 acid gob Upon cqasting this spell, a bolt of acid is fired at a stated foe. The bolt will do 2d4 damage to the foe in the first round, and each round thereafter will continue to do 2d4 damage. Each round after the first, the foe may make a save versus spells, the first effective save neutralising the acid. Wind Blast Range: 180' + 20' throw Duration: Instant Effect: 1 blast of air Che caster of this spell creates a ball of hard, compressed air which travels at speed to one target. If said target is ogre sized or smaller, it must make a save versus spells or be flung backeards 20'. If said victim hits a hard, vertical surface then it will take 1d6 damage per caster level (up to 20d6) saving versus spells for half. If not, half of this damage is taken (save for 1/4). This handy combat spell is also invaluable for opening doors, knocking over bookshelves, etc. ------------------------------ End of MYSTARA-L Digest - 3 Feb 2004 to 4 Feb 2004 (#2004-31) *************************************************************
