Clerical spells
by Geoff GanderDetermine Ailment
Level 2
Range: Touch
Duration: Instantaneous
Effect: Allows caster to determine subject's ailment.
This spell allows the caster to determine what sort of illness -
mental or physical - is afflicting any one person or creature. The
cleric need only touch the subject to be examined, and he or she
will intuitively know what is wrong with them. It should be noted
that this spell does not cure the subject, nor does it provide the
cleric with the knowledge required to do so; it only tells him or
her what is wrong. This spell is still especially useful for those
people rendered comatose or otherwise unable to communicate due to
illness.
Sanctuary
Level 4
Range: 0' (caster only)
Duration: 2 turns/level of caster
Effect: Turns any room or zone up to 20'x20'x20' into a protected
area.
When cast, the sanctuary spell allows the cleric to turn any room
or area up to 20' cubed into a safe zone, into which no hostile or
aggressive creatures, or any offensive spells, may enter. If cast
in a room, all windows and doors become impassable to those of
violent or hostile intent. Those within the protected area may
freely enter or leave it, though upon returning they may not have
any violent thoughts or intentions. This spell, when cast, lasts
throughout the duration, unless those within the protected zone
commit violent acts, or unless a violent creature was within the
area of effect when the spell was cast. In either case, the spell
will fail. Note that sanctuary does not shield those under its
protection from wizard eye, ESP, clairaudience, or similar scrying
spells.
Cure Insanity
Level 5
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
Effect: Permanently cures a person of one insanity.
This spell slows the caster to cure one mental ailment afflicting a
person by touching them. If the target has more than one insanity,
the DM should determine which insanity is cured. The reverse of
this spell, cause insanity, gives the target one mental illness,
either determined by the DM, or using the guidelines provided by
The Complete Guide to Sanity for Fantasy Role-Playing Games, or
Insanity, Horror, and the Outer Beings in Mystara. It should be
noted that casting cause insanity is a chaotic act.
