Abjuration Spells (OGL) in d100 format

 

Alarm

Area (Cylinder, radius & height of 1m per Intensity),

Autonomous

Alarm sounds a mental or audible alarm each time a creature of SIZ 1 or more enters the warded area or touches it. A creature that speaks the password (determined by you at the time of casting) does not set off the alarm. You decide at the time of casting whether the alarm will be mental or audible.

Mental Alarm

A mental alarm alerts you (and only you) so long as you remain within 1km of the warded area. You note a single mental “ping” that awakens you from normal sleep but does not otherwise disturb concentration. 

Audible Alarm

An audible alarm produces the sound of a hand bell, and anyone within 20m of the warded area can hear it clearly. Reduce the distance by 2m for each interposing closed door and by 5m for each substantial interposing wall.

In quiet conditions, the ringing can be heard faintly as far as 60m away. The sound lasts for 1 round.

 

 

Endure Elements

Autonomous

The recipient of endure elements suffers no harm from being in a hot or cold environment. It can exist comfortably in conditions between -50 and +50 degrees centigrade without having to make Resilience rolls. The creature’s equipment is likewise protected.

 

Endure elements doesn’t provide any protection from fire or cold damage, nor does it protect against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth.

 

Hold Portal

Formula (Holdfast 40%, Intensity 4, Magic Points 1, Magnitude 1, Duration POW, Range POW*5m)

Target: A portal of up to 4 square metres.

This spell magically holds shut a door, gate, window, or shutter of wood, metal, or stone; it cannot be opened by any mundane means. Appropriate magic of higher Magnitude can open the portal or dispel the spell.

 

Protection from (Enemy)

Autonomous

This spell is a combination of Damage, Spell and Spirit Resistance that only works against a specified enemy. The enemy may consist of members of a specified species, members of an enemy organisation, country or deity. In worlds where Law & Chaos hold sway it may be as broad as members allied to the other side.  

 

Shield

Arcane Force

Autonomous

Creates an invisible, weightless shield with the same characteristics as a Kite Shield except that it cannot be damaged by mundane weapons. The caster can parry melee and missile attacks using their Grimoire skill but cannot attack with the shield. The shield can also parry Arcane Force attacks (such as Magic Missile) if the Intensity of the Shield spell is greater than or equal to the Magnitude of the incoming spell. 

 

Arcane Lock

Permanent (Magic Points used to cast this spell don't regenerate until the spell ends)

Target: The door, chest, or portal touched, up to 2 square metres per Intensity.

An arcane lock spell cast upon a door, chest, or portal magically locks it; it cannot be opened by any mundane means. You can freely pass your own arcane lock without affecting it; otherwise, a door or object secured with this spell can be opened only by destroying the portal or with an appropriate spell of higher Magnitude. When cast, each point of Targets manipulation allows you to specify one other person who can pass freely through the Arcane Lock.

 

Obscure Object

Autonomous or Permanent

Target: 1 object of up to 50kg per Intensity

This spell hides an object from location by divination (scrying) effects of the same or lower Magnitude than this spell's Intensity. The scryer will not realise that the spell has been countered. 

 

Protection from Arrows

Autonomous

The target gains 5 temporary Hit Points per Intensity that can be used only to absorb damage caused by missiles. The spell absorbs damage done before any deduction for armour or before any version of Damage Resistance is activated. Once the spell's Hit Points have been exhausted the spell expires.

 

Resist (Energy)

 

Autonomous

The recipient gains 1 point of Damage Resistance per Intensity of the spell but only against the specified Energy types: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. The spell protects the recipient’s equipment as well.

Resist energy absorbs only damage. The subject could still suffer unfortunate side effects.

 

Dispel Magic - Neutralise Magic

 

Explosive Runes

Permanent (Triggered)

You trace these mystic runes upon a book, map, scroll, or similar object bearing written information. The runes detonate when read, 1D6 points of force damage per 3 Intensity. Anyone next to the runes (close enough to read them) takes the full damage to 1D3 different random hit locations with no chance to resist. Natural and worn armour has no effect against this damage. Any other character within 3m of the runes can attempt an Evade skill to take half damage. The object on which the runes were written also takes full damage.

 

You and any characters you specifically instruct can read the protected writing without triggering the runes. Likewise, you can remove the runes whenever desired. Another character can attempt to remove them with an appropriate spell of higher Magnitude but attempting to dispel or erase the runes and failing to do so triggers the explosion.

 

Magic Circle Against (Enemy)

This is the name given when Protective Ward is Combined with Protection Against (Enemy). As well as the usual effects Protective Ward, this ward may also prevent the Enemy from crossing into or out of the ward. It can block an enemy of 3 POW per point of Intensity this way. For example a Magic circle with an Intensity of 7 could block enemies of up to 21 POW.

 

Nondetection

This is a variant name for Obscure Object.

 

Protection from (Energy)

Autonomous

The target gains 5 temporary Hit Points per Intensity that can be used only to absorb damage caused by the specified energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic). The spell absorbs damage done before any deduction for armour or before any version of Damage Resistance is activated. Once the spell's Hit Points have been exhausted the spell expires.
