| − | == The Spell System ==
| |
| | | | |
| − | Each spell is described with specific properties that define how it works:
| |
| | | | |
| − | ;Name
| + | == Casting == |
| − | : The spell's name
| |
| | | | |
| − | ;Encumbrance
| + | To cast Magick: |
| − | : The magical "weight" of the spell - how much it burdens the caster's mind | + | * '''Roll''': O6 + SPIRIT + Attunement + Unknown vs DR 10 |
| | + | * '''Cost''': 2 Mental Fortitude |
| | + | * '''Time''': 1 round |
| | + | * '''Cooldown''': 4 hours |
| | | | |
| − | ;Cooldown
| + | == Transfer Requirements == |
| − | : How long before the spell can be cast again after use
| |
| | | | |
| − | ;Casting Requirements
| + | * '''Receiving''': Requires Unknown Attunement 2 or higher |
| − | : '''Casting Time (CT)''': How long it takes to cast
| + | * '''Giving''': 1 week ritual to transfer spell ownership |
| − | : '''Active/Passive (A/P)''': Whether the caster must actively focus on the spell while it lasts
| |
| − | : '''Restrictions''': Special conditions (e.g., "Can only be cast at midnight")
| |
| − | : '''DR(s)''': Difficulty Rating(s) - can require multiple skill rolls
| |
| | | | |
| − | ;Cost
| + | Back: [[Magick]] |
| − | : What casting consumes - typically Mental Fortitude, but can include Fortitude, special plants, gems, corpses, etc. | |
| − | | |
| − | ;Attributes
| |
| − | : '''Distance''': Range (fixed or flexible - modified by Range skill under SPIRIT → Casting)
| |
| − | : '''Duration''': How long effects last (fixed or flexible - modified by Duration skill)
| |
| − | : '''Weight/Targets/AoE''': Number of targets or area affected (fixed or flexible - modified by Weight, Number of Targets, or Area of Effect skills)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ;Effects
| |
| − | : The actual effects of the spell
| |
| − | | |
| − | ;Transfer Requirements
| |
| − | : '''Receiving''': What the recipient needs in order to receive this spell
| |
| − | : '''Giving''': What the giver must do to transfer the spell (ritual duration, etc.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Spell Ownership and Transfer ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Spells are owned by individual magicians. Key principles:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Each spell is '''given to a magician''' who then owns it
| |
| − | * A spell owned can be '''given to another''' through a ritual (usually taking two weeks)
| |
| − | * A spell can be '''put into a book''' - the first person who reads it gets that spell
| |
| − | ** The spell is then '''lost by the person when writing the book''' (usually takes a month to write)
| |
| − | * '''Spells are the base currency of Fenimaal''' - highly valuable
| |
| − | * Upon death, '''Kraagh collects the spells''' and returns them to the God of the spell's domain (default to Fenimaal)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Active Spell Capacity ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | A character can only have a certain number of spells '''active''' at any given moment. The number of active spells is limited by:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Total Encumbrance Capacity''': Determined by Mental Fortitude (MIND → Willpower → Mental Fortitude)
| |
| − | * Each spell has an '''Encumbrance value''' - the total of all active spells cannot exceed the character's capacity
| |
| − | * Inactive spells are "memorized" but not ready for immediate casting
| |
| − | * Activating/deactivating spells requires concentration and time (typically 10 minutes per spell)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Casting Spells ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | To cast a spell, the character must:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # '''Meet Requirements''': SPIRIT characteristic ≥ 2 AND total Casting (SPIRIT + Casting attribute) ≥ 5
| |
| − | # '''Have Spell Active''': The spell must be in the character's active spell pool
| |
| − | # '''Meet Casting Requirements''': Fulfill any restrictions, have casting time available
| |
| − | # '''Make Skill Roll(s)''': Roll O6 + total skill vs DR
| |
| − | ** Typically uses '''Attunement skills''' (SPIRIT → Attunement → specific element/domain)
| |
| − | ** Some spells require multiple rolls
| |
| − | # '''Pay Cost''': Expend Mental Fortitude or other resources
| |
| − | # '''Apply Cooldown''': Spell cannot be cast again until cooldown expires
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Casting Roll Formula ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''O6 + (SPIRIT + Attunement + Domain Skill) vs DR'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example: Casting a Fire spell with SPIRIT 2, Attunement 3, Fire 4:
| |
| − | * Roll O6: 6, 5, 2 = 7
| |
| − | * Total: 7 + 2 (SPIRIT) + 3 (Attunement) + 4 (Fire) = 16
| |
| − | * If DR is 10, spell succeeds with margin of 6
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Flexible Spell Attributes ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some spell attributes are '''flexible''' and can be modified by Casting skills:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Range skill''' (SPIRIT → Casting → Range): Increases or decreases spell distance
| |
| − | * '''Duration skill''' (SPIRIT → Casting → Duration): Extends or shortens spell duration
| |
| − | * '''Area of Effect skill''': Expands spell area
| |
| − | * '''Weight skill''': Allows spell to affect heavier objects
| |
| − | * '''Number of Targets skill''': Allows spell to affect more targets
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Spell Domains ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Spells are organized by domain, corresponding to Attunement skills:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Fire''' - Flame, heat, destruction
| |
| − | * '''Water''' - Ice, liquid, purification
| |
| − | * '''Air''' - Wind, lightning, flight
| |
| − | * '''Earth''' - Stone, metal, growth
| |
| − | * '''Life''' - Healing, enhancement, protection
| |
| − | * '''Death''' - Necromancy, decay, shadow
| |
| − | * '''Self''' - Personal enhancement, meditation
| |
| − | * '''Others''' - God-specific domains, unique magicks
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each domain has associated spells that require the corresponding Attunement skill.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Learning New Spells ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Characters acquire spells through:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # '''Direct Gift''': Another magician performs a ritual (usually 2 weeks) to transfer ownership
| |
| − | # '''Reading Spell Books''': First reader gains the spell, book becomes blank
| |
| − | # '''Divine Grant''': Gods may grant spells to worshippers (see Worship under SPIRIT)
| |
| − | # '''Discovery''': Rare - finding ancient spell scrolls or artifacts
| |
| − | | |
| − | The recipient must meet the spell's '''Receiving Requirements''' (typically minimum Attunement in the spell's domain).
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Mental Fortitude and Spell Cost ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Mental Fortitude''' (MIND → Willpower → Mental Fortitude) serves as the primary resource for spellcasting:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Each spell cast consumes Mental Fortitude points (specified in spell cost)
| |
| − | * When Mental Fortitude reaches 0, the character '''cannot cast spells''' until recovery
| |
| − | * Mental Fortitude recovers with rest (typically 1 point per hour of rest, full recovery after 8 hours sleep)
| |
| − | * Some powerful spells may also cost physical Fortitude, special components, or other sacrifices
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Spell Examples ==
