You summon up a whipping wind that circles about you and

protects you from harm. You gain a +2 to your Defense vs. ranged
attacks. Anyone adjacent to you (friend or foe) suers a 1 penalty
when making melee attacks. Protective Winds last until the end of
the encounter.

You can focus in on any conversation happening within 100 yards

of you that you can see. The wind carries the conversation to your
ears and you can hear it as clearly as if you were sitting next to the
participants. You can switch to a dierent conversation as a major
action. Voices on the Wind lasts for 10 minutes, and you can extend
it for 10 minutes for each 2 MP you spend.

You send a powerful gust of wind from your outstretched hands or

arcane device. The Wind Blast is 6 yards long and 4 yards wide.
Anyone caught inside it must make a Strength (Might) test vs. your
Spellpower or be knocked prone. The wind will also send light
objects ying, blow out candles, etc.

You summon winds that bear you aloft. You gain a ying Speed of 8
+ Willpower. You must use the rules for ying found in Chapter 2:
Basic Rules of the Core Rulebook, though you retain your land
speed while on the ground. Winds of Flight lasts for 1 hour and you
can extend it for up to 5 hours for a cost of 2 MP per hour.

You can divine the presence of an object you have put a Blood Mark
on or a living creature whose blood you have a sample of. You can
get a sample of blood from any weapon that has damaged the
target in combat. When you rst cast the spell, you will know if the
target is within a mile of you and if so, what direction. This lasts for
10 minutes and you can keep it active for 2 MP per further 10
minutes. While the spell is active, you will know what direction the
target is from you. This acts like a beacon but the spell has no
intelligence behind it. It cant tell you how to navigate a maze to
nd the target, for exampleonly that the target is "that way."

You inscribe an object with an arcane mark unique to you that

remains until you dismiss it (a free action). It requires a drop of
your blood, although the mark itself is invisible to the naked eye.
Once an object has a Blood Mark on it, you can track it with the
Bloodhound spell. You can maintain a number of blood marks equal
to your Willpower at any one time.

Your knowledge of the future makes one target vulnerable. When

you meet the target in any type of encounter during the following
24 hours, you can choose to use Ill Omens as a free action. For the
remainder of the encounter, the target suers a 2 penalty on
ability tests based on one ability of your choice (Communication,
Dexterity, etc.). Stunts based on that ability also generate 2 stunt
points. If the target makes a successful Willpower (Faith) test vs.
your Spellpower, the ability test and stunt point penalties are only
1. Ill omens is only eective for a single encounter and it cannot
be cast again on the same target until the full 24 hours have passed.

Your knowledge of the future provides good fortune to your party.

In the next combat encounter, you and your allies gain two
benets. First, each of you can re-roll your Initiative tests and take
the better result. Second, you and your allies gain a +1 to your
Defense for the whole encounter.

A blast of small rocks burst from your hand or arcane device at a

visible enemy within 20 yards. They inict 1d6 + Willpower
penetrating damage and the target is knocked prone. If the target
makes a successful Constitution (Stamina) test vs. your Spellpower,
Rock Blast only inicts 1d6 penetrating damage and the target
remains standing.

Your clothing takes on the toughness of stone while remaining

pliable. Stone cloak gives you an Armor Rating equal to your
Willpower ability for 1 hour. If you are wearing regular armor, Stone
Cloak has no eect. You can only cast this on yourself.

You let the earth swallow and transport you, re-emerging anywhere
within 30 yards that you can see. You must be standing on dirt
when you cast the spell and you must emerge from the dirt as well.

The ground bucks and rolls in an area with a 6-yard radius anywhere you choose within 30 yards. Anyone caught in the area
suers a 2 penalty to Defense and a 5 penalty to Speed for one
round. They must also succeed on a Dexterity (Acrobatics) test vs.
your Spellpower or fall prone. This spell normally lasts for one
round but for 5 MP, paid at the start of your subsequent turns as a
free action, you may extend the duration by an additional round.

You can manipulate fate to help your allies. When you cast this
spell, you get a total bonus equal to your Stunt Die +1. For the
remainder of the encounter, you can give part or all of this bonus to
an ally within 20 yards of you if it would make one of their failed
ability tests into a success. If an ally failed a test by 2, for example,
you could give them 2 of your total bonus to make that into a
success. The GM must tell you the cost and you can then decide if
you want to apply any of your bonus to the test. Hands of Fate lasts
until youve spent your total bonus, or the encounter ends. If your
total bonus from casting the spell was 5, for example, you might
give 3 of it to one ally and later give 2 to another. You can only have
one Hands of Fate spell active at one time.

You manipulate fate to discomfort your enemies. For the

remainder of the encounter, you may force enemies within 12
yards of you to re-roll successful ability tests and take the worse
result. You can attempt this a total number of times equal to the
Stunt Die result of your casting roll. Enemies can resist Puppets of
Fate with successful Willpower (Self-Discipline) vs. Spellpower tests
(test for each attempt). You can only have one Puppets of Fate spell
active at one time.

You pull the web of fate to favor your party. For the remainder of
the encounter, you and your allies within 10 yards of you benet as
follows. Whenever one of the aected characters generates stunt
points, that character gains +1 SP. If you rolled a 3 on the Stunt
Die, for example, you would get 4 points instead of the usual 3.

You weave the web of fate to favor you at a critical time. For the
remainder of the encounter, you and your allies within 10 yards of
you may re-roll your Stunt Die when generating stunt points and
take the better result. Chosen of Fate only takes eect if the original
die roll qualied for stunt points (the test was successful and
doubles were rolled).

You illuminate the area around you with a steady light similar to
that of a lantern. The spell illuminates a 10 yard radius centered on
you. Arcane Lantern lasts for one hour, but can be extended for 2
MP per additional hour.

Gouts of blazing re erupt from your outstretched hands or arcane

device, burning nearby targets. The Flame Blast is 8 yards long and
2 yards wide. Anyone hit by the blast takes 2d6+1 damage. Targets
that make a successful Dexterity (Acrobatics) test vs. your Spellpower only take 1d6+1 damage.

You surround yourself with an aura of re. Any adjacent enemy

that makes a melee attack against you takes 2 penetrating damage.
Burning Shield lasts for a number of minutes equal to your
Willpower.

You create an explosive restorm with a 4-yard radius anywhere

within 50 yards of you. Anyone caught in the area takes
3d6+Willpower damage and may be knocked prone. Those who
make a successful Dexterity (Acrobatics) test vs. your Spellpower

Your touch seals wounds and restores vigor to one wounded target.
You can choose to spend up to 3 MPs when you cast the spell. For
each MP spent, the target gets back 1d6 Health. You can cast this
on yourself.

Your touch helps restore the grievously wounded or fallen. A dying

character adjacent to you immediately regains 10 + their
Constitution + your Willpower in Health. Since dying characters
cannot take actions, you cannot cast this spell on yourself.

Waves of healing energy radiate from you and aid your nearby
allies. You can pick a number of targets up to twice your Willpower,
all of whom must be within 10 yards of you. All targets regain 1d6
Health per 3 MP you spend (to a maximum of 3d6 Health for 9
MP). You can designate yourself as one of the targets.

You can restore a gravely injured character to health, though this

spell takes 1 minute to cast and is thus most useful outside of
combat encounters. You must remain adjacent to the target
throughout the casting. If successful, the target regains Health
equal to your Willpower 10.

Action; only a single Minor Action is allowed.

Electricity arcs from your hands or your arcane device, shocking

enemies in a 6-yard by 6-yard area. Anyone in this area takes 1d6 +
Willpower penetrating damage. Targets that make a successful

rolls Stunt Die. They must all be within 10 yards of the original
target. Chain Lightning inicts 2d6 + Willpower penetrating

You attune your senses to the ow of arcane power. For one

minute, you can sense active magic within 10 yards of you and
make Perception tests to detect details about it (usually with a TN
equal to the eects Spellpower or equivalent) including arcana,
spell type, and aected area or point of origin. If you have the
Power Arcana focus, you may add it to the Perception test.

You can weave arcane energies for magical protection. You give
yourself or one target within 4 yards of you a +2 bonus on all tests
to resist spells until the end of the encounter. By expending
additional MP, you can extend this benet to more targets: 2 MP
per additional target, up to a number of targets equal to your
Willpower. If you have the Power Arcana focus, you can extend this
benet to two more creatures, or alternately increase the spells
bonus to +3.

You attempt to end an ongoing spell or magical eect within 20

yards of you. Make a casting test against the Spellpower of the
target spell. If it is successful, you can spend MP equal to the
original cost of the spell or eect to negate it. If either the casting
test fails or you do not have sucient MP to cover the cost, then
you cannot cancel the target eect.

You create a glowing arcane circle, up to 4 yards in diameter, on the

ground where you cast the spell. It is etched with symbols of power,
and lasts for 1 hour. During that time, you and any allies inside the
Arcane Circle have protection against spells cast from outside its
connes. The casting roll of any such spells trying to aect the
occupants must exceed the Arcane Circles Spellpower to take eect.
This does not cancel the spell entirely, just prevents it from
aecting those inside the circle. Those outside the circle would be
aected normally if in the spells area of eect. You can be inside or
outside of the circle when it is created and can cross it at will. An
Arcane Circle is no barrier to your own spells.

A shard of darkness bursts from your hand or arcane device and

speeds toward the target of your choice within 20 yards. It inicts
1d6+1 penetrating damage.

You deepen the shadows in a 6 yard by 6 yard area within 30 yards

of you for 5 minutes. Anyone in the area receives a +2 bonus on
Dexterity (Stealth) tests. There must already be some natural
shadows present or the spell does not work.

You create a wall of impenetrable darkness within 30 yards of you

that is 10 yards long, 2 yards wide, and 4 yards tall. The wall does
not impede movement in any way, but it does block all sight (even
Dark Sight). Entering such total darkness is disconcerting, so those
moving through it halve their Speed (rounded down) for the round.

Using this spell you can transport instantly from one area of
shadow to another within 50 yards of you that you can see. To
others it looks like you disappear into the shadows and re-emerge
elsewhere.

You cause a number of gallons of water equal to your Willpower

(minimum of 1; +2 gallons if you have the Water Arcana focus) to
pour out of nowhere. This water can pour into a container (and is
clean and safe to drink), onto a small re to quench it, or even onto
a target. Such a target must make a Strength (Might) test vs. your
Spellpower to avoid being knocked prone, in addition to being wet
for some time thereafter.

You create a long whip of water that appears in your empty hand.
You can wield the water whip as a weapon, using your Intelligence
(Water Arcana) to make attack rolls. You can attack targets up to 3
yards away and the Water Whip inicts 1d6 + Willpower damage.
You can also perform the Disarm stunt for 1 SP instead of 2 when
wielding it, and you use Willpower instead of Strength to
determine how far away the weapon lands. The Water Whip lasts
until the end of the encounter, although you can end it earlier as a
free action if you so choose.

You conjure a cascade of water, up to 3 yards long and 1 yard wide.

It blocks all re attacks from passing through it, and anyone trying
to attack through it takes a 2 penalty on their attack rolls. Anyone
attempting to cross through the Water Wall must make a Strength
(Might) test vs. your Spellpower or be knocked prone. If you cast
this spell more than once in an encounter, you can link together
the sections into one continuous wall. The Water Wall lasts until the
end of the encounter, although you can end it earlier as a free
action if you so choose.

You cause a targets lungs to ll with water, drowning them even in

the open air. The target must make a Constitution (Stamina) test
vs. your Spellpower. On a success, the spell has no eect. On a
failure, the target takes 2d6 + your Willpower penetrating damage
and cannot speak. At the start of each their turns, the target must
make another Constitution (Stamina) test vs. your Spellpower,
taking 2d6 + Willpower penetrating damage on a failure. The spell
continues until a successful test is made or 5 rounds pass. Watery
Doom has no eect on targets that do not breathe air (or do not
breathe at all).

You and a number of creatures up to your Willpower within 6 yards

of you blend into natural or wooded surroundings. For the duration
of the encounter, a successful Perception (Seeing) test vs. your
Spellpower is required to spot anyone concealed by this spell.
Making an attack gives away your position, negating the spells
benets until the beginning of your next turn.

You infuse wood with a burst of life-force. This causes a piece of

dead wood to return to life, sprouting branches, roots, and even
leaves. It twists and warps wooden objects like furniture, doors,
chests, or even weapons or shields, making them unusable. Used on
a seed, it matures into a hearty sapling in an instant, while a
mature tree enjoys a years growth, immediately giving forth fruit
or seeds as appropriate.

Tough, gnarled roots spring up from the ground to grab and

entangle targets in a 4 yard by 4 yard area within 20 yards of you
that you designate. Those aected must make a Dexterity
(Acrobatics) test against your Spellpower. Failure means the target
is trapped and rooted to that spot for the duration of the encounter
(though they can re ranged weapons, cast spells, and take other
actions that do not involve moving). Trapped targets can make a
Strength (Might) check against your Spellpower as a major action
to tear free of the ensnaring roots. Anyone moving through the
area aected by the spell has a 5 penalty to speed.

You awaken a mature tree within 10 yards of you, giving it senses,

awareness, and movement. It becomes the equivalent of an ogre
(see Chapter 9: Adversaries; use the maul attack to represent
attacks from the trees branches). It is friendly to you and obedient
to your commands for the duration of the encounter. At the end of
the spell, the tree reverts to its normal form, putting down roots
wherever it is standing.
