Introduction

Welcome again to the exiting world of Knight Blades! This Spell Compendium has been compiled at the suggestion of our players. It is intended to encompass the complete versions of all the known spells in the Knight Blades universe.

This book covers the basics of how to wield the forces of magic and divine spells. More importantly, you will find all of our spells in their most complete form in this book. We have also included a couple of handy listings to help you find your spells more quickly.

The Knight Blades Staff urges you all to read through this document, whether or not you are a caster. Familiarizing yourself to the spells within can only enhance your game play.

The Knight Blades Players Handbook contains the complete rules for spellcasting. The book called A Tour of The World contains In-Game information useful for role-playing spellcasters.

We hope you enjoy the Knight Blades Spell Compendium and its usefulness in our Core Rule Books!

Spell CastingPlease note: This section is an abbreviated form of the Rules for spell casting. It is intended for reference only, and the complete information can only be found in the Knight Blades Players Handbook 2nd Edition.

In Knight Blades, the casting of spells is simulated by reciting a verbal incantation, or “incant”, and then either touching the recipient of the spell or hitting the target creature with a spell packet. Armor and shields cannot be employed while casting Mage spells (unless the spells are cast from a scroll).

Certain spells are restricted to specific races and/or specialties. The requirements for casting these spells are found in the individual spell descriptions.

Spell PacketsTo represent spell energy, we use the ever popular “spell packet”. Gas globes and Holy Water splashes are also represented by spell packets. These, however, are differentiated by color. Poisons and acids are always solid black, while Holy Water is always solid white.

General Rules for SpellcastingTo cast a spell, the caster must have at least one arm completely free. Nothing except one spell packet may be held in the casting hand, nor tucked under the casting arm.

The caster must speak the spell incant clearly and correctly, and then either throw a spell packet or touch the spell recipient.

The caster’s feet must not move from their position while the incant is recited. When the

3

incant is finished, the caster may make one pitching step and throw the spell packet.

Disrupted & Miscast SpellsA spell is considered miscast if any of the above spell casting requirements is not met.

The caster’s spell is considered disrupted if the caster or his carried items are struck by a weapon, spell packet, or other game attack.

Expending Mana/Divine Favor

Points of Mana or Divine Favor are considered expended in the following situations:

-If the spell is cast, but then misses the target.

-If the spell is cast, and then resisted by the target.

-If the spell is miscast, (incorrectly stating the incant, walking while casting, etc.).

-If a spell is cast by touch, and then “Refused” by the spell recipient.

Points of Mana or Divine Favor are NOT considered expended in the following situations:

-If a caster begins a spell incant but does not complete the spell.

-If a spell is disrupted.

-If the spell is cast and hits the target, but is not negated and not reacted to appropriately by the target.

Touch CastingThere is no touching allowed in Knight Blades without consent. Unless you have consent, you must touch a spell packet held in your hand to another person in order to cast a touch-

delivered spell. A Player can always “Refuse” any spell cast by touch. The Player can make this call at any time, even if the Player Character is immobilized or unconscious.

Spell TargetingMany spells affect a creature targeted. The target is determined by where the spell packet hits – it does not matter whether it's the person aimed at or not.

Damage from Spell PacketsPoints of damage received from spells, gas globes, and all other packet-delivered attacks are always applied to the torso.

Spell LevelsThe number of Mana or Divine Favor points required to cast a spell is the same as the “level” of the spell. Once a spell is cast, the Mana or Divine Favor points are used.

Stacking SpellsA spell recipient cannot benefit from two or more of the exact same spell. Spells that are similar but not identical can be stacked.

Spell Books & Prayer BooksIt is the spell caster’s responsibility to clarify all questions involving any spell they cast. For this reason, it is recommended that such Players carry a spell book and/or prayer book containing the full spell descriptions and rules. The book will be considered a “prop” and therefore not subject to In Game theft.

Access to SpellsSpells from The School of Universal Magic are open to all Player Characters possessing points in Mana. School of Magic Specialists may cast spells from their school as well as spells from The School of Universal Magic.

Spells from the General List of Divine Spells are open to all Player Characters possessing

4

points of Divine Favor. Only Specialty Priests may cast the spells granted by their particular undergod.

Learning SpellsA spell must be learned before the Player Character is able to cast it. Learning spells usually must be done between events by carefully studying an “Insight Scroll”. These items should not be confused with “casting scrolls” that simply allow the one-time casting of a spell directly from the scroll. A Player Character cannot learn a spell if unable to meet the spell’s restriction.

A Player Character may learn up to five new spells per event. A Player Character cannot learn a spell that requires more Mana than the Player Character has purchased.

Starting SpellsA Player Character with at least one point of Mana is assumed to have learned a few spells prior to his first game appearance.

A Player Character of the “Mage” class starts the game with up to five spells already learned. Player Characters with Mana who are not of the “Mage” class start with a maximum of two learned spells.

Player Characters with at least one point of Divine Favor are also assumed to have learned a few spells prior to the game.

A Player Character of the “Cleric” class starts the game with up to five spells already learned. Player Characters with Divine Favor who are not of the “Cleric” class start with a maximum of two learned spells.

For Mages ... There are eight Schools of Magic in the Knight Blades world. All Mana-based spells fall into one or more of the Schools.

The School Of Universal Magic This school is generally open to all users of Mana. It is a grouping of all-purpose conventional spells. Those who do not specialize in a school only make use of The School Of Universal Magic.

The Elemental Schools of Magic The most widely-known and accepted Schools of Magic are the Schools of Elemental Magic. The four Elemental Schools are the Schools of Air, Earth, Fire, and Water.

The Tangent Schools of Magic The unconventional Schools of Blood, Chaos, and Necromancy are often frowned-upon publicly. Most honest folk avoid these dubious Schools of Magic.

Racial Spells There are several Mana-based spells that were developed by certain Player Character Races. The spells are considered part of The School Of Universal Magic, but have an added racial restriction.

The Adept When a caster has learned every spell of a particular School of Magic, the caster is traditionally given the title of “Adept” of that School. Sometimes the title is combined with another title, such as “Adept Wizard” or “Adept Pyromancer”.

For Clerics...

There are twenty fantasy gods in the Knight Blades world. Most intelligent creatures worship (or pay tribute to) one, some, or all of these deities. The gods are of differing ethics: some are good, some are evil, and some are of a neutral viewpoint.

Main God: LightUndergods: Halcyon, Nemesus, Nexus,

5

Phoenix

Main God: DarkUndergods: Kull, Nekros, Sepsis, Tempesta

Main God: GreyUndergods: Arcana, Aureus, Bellicose, Clandesta, Karma, Lucenta, Nocturna, Sylvik, and Urgo

Dedicating Divine FavorAll of a Player Character’s Divine Favor points must be dedicated to one god. A Player Character may dedicate to one of the three main gods, and later choose to dedicate the Divine Favor to a specific undergod. Obviously, the undergod must be a subordinate of the associated main god.

A Player Character may switch allegiance and dedicate to a totally different god. In this case, all previous points of Divine Favor become inaccessible. The Player Character can only dedicate newly gained points of Divine Favor.

Holy SymbolsA holy symbol is a special device honoring a deity. Most worshipers wear a holy symbol to their god. Any Player Character with Divine Favor must wear or hold their holy symbol in order to cast Divine spells or to use the skill Turn Undead. The holy symbol is a conduit to the deity; the deity’s power flows through it and then through the caster.

A holy symbol must be a solid white, gray, or black disc with a minimum diameter of two inches. If the Player Character is a Specialty Priest of an undergod, then the holy symbol must have the particular image on the disc as well. A holy symbol must be its own distinct item - it may not be permanently affixed to a shield, weapon, garment, or other item. Players are responsible for providing their own holy symbol if needed. Holy symbols are therefore usually personal “props” and cannot be stolen. Certain magic items in the form of holy symbols may be stolen. It is best to clarify with the owner first if there is no item number on the symbol itself.

Schools of Magic

The School of Universal Magic

Acid Storm

School: UniversalLevel: 18Restriction: NoneDuration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “Acid Storm - damage 30.” When this spell is cast, the caster causes magical corrosive acid to rain down on the victim. A creature struck by the storm is inflicted with 30 points of damage to the torso.

Anti-Magic Shell

School: Universal Level: 8 Restriction: none Duration: five minutes Area of Effect: The Caster

Incantation: “I grant myself an anti-magic shell - five minutes.” This spell creates an invisible immobile zone around the caster that prevents all spells from operating. The caster will be immune to all spells for five minutes. The only exception is a spell cast with the skill “Arcane”. The caster may not cast spells at all (unless using the skill “Arcane”), even if the spells are innate or are cast from magic items.

Only actual spells, including “Innate” spells, are negated. Other magical effects, however, will work in the zone. This includes “Fear - five seconds” and other Out Of Game Combat Calls. Magic items will still operate, but any spell cast from a magic item is negated (unless the item grants the “Arcane” benefit to the spell).

The caster is free to move in any fashion, but the anti-magic protection instantly drops if the caster moves either foot from its spot.

7

Boulder

School: Earth/Universal Level: 5 Restriction: None Duration: instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “Boulder - Damage Ten!”

When this spell is cast, the caster launches a large magical boulder toward a victim. A creature struck by the boulder suffers ten points of damage to the torso area.

Dispel

School: Universal Level: 15 Restriction: NoneDuration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “I dispel all magical effects.” When this spell is cast, the caster brings forth a ray of negative magic. All spells and magical effects currently active on a creature struck by the ray will be instantly negated. A Spell Guard will block this spell. A Spell Resistance may also be used to negate this spell. Other methods may exist to protect against this spell.

Enchanted Weapon

School: Universal Level: 3 Restriction: none Duration: five minutes Area of Effect: Weapon Touched

Incantation: “I grant this weapon an enchantment of Magic - five minutes.” This spell causes a single weapon of any type touched by the caster to carry the descriptor of “Magic” for five minutes. The caster need not be the person to wield the weapon.

Fireball

School: Fire/Universal Level: 5 Restriction: None Duration: instant

8

Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “Fireball - Damage Ten!”

When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a fiery sphere of magical energy. A creature struck by the sphere suffers 10 points of damage to the torso area.

Force Missile

School: Universal Level: 4 Restriction: None Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “Force Missile - Damage Five.”

When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a burst of magical force. A creature struck by the burst is inflicted with five points of damage to the torso.

Frostbite

School: Water/Universal Level: 5 Restriction: None Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “Frostbite - Damage ten.”

When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a small burst of cold magical energy. A creature struck by the burst suffers 10 points of damage to the torso area.

Identify Item

School: Universal Level: 1 Restriction: none Duration: instant (at Logistics) Area of Effect: Magic Item Touched

Incantation: “I identify this magic item.”

This spell grants the caster insight into the magical properties of a single magic item. No information at all will be gleaned from a non-magical item. Should this spell be cast on a non-magical item, no information will be gained and the Mana for the spell is wasted. This spell does not grant the ability to

9

ascertain the monetary value of either a magical or non-magical item.

To cast the spell, the Player must bring a magic item (or its Number Tag) to Logistics in order to receive some of the information from the Secret Tag for the item. The item must have a number or a Number Tag in order to be identified. Hence, items such as poisons, gems, herbal components, and the like cannot be identified. Cursed items will not be apparent to the caster of this spell. Other methods are required to detect cursed items. For this reason, the item’s Secret Tag will not be given to the caster. The main qualities of the item will be explained to the caster by a Staff Member at Logistics. It would be wise for the Player to make notes of the information. Magical Potions and Oils to be identified must be brought to Logistics for identification, since this spell will not detect potions considered to be “cursed”.

A separate casting is needed for each item to be identified. Note that certain unique or special items cannot be readily identified by this spell. In this case, no information will be gained (just as if the item was non-magical).

Lightning Bolt

School: Air/Universal Level: 5 Restriction: None Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “Lightning Bolt - Damage Ten.”

When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being an electrical bolt of magical energy. A creature struck by the bolt suffers ten points of damage to the torso area.

Mage Key

School: Universal Level: 20 Restriction: none Duration: instant Area of Effect: Lock Touched

Incantation: “I call forth a magical key to open this lock.”

This spell brings into being a key of magical force that causes a single lock (of any quality) touched by the caster to unlock.

To utilize this spell, the Player must clearly and correctly state the incant and then immediately unlock

10

the lock with a special Out Of Game key. It may be necessary under extreme circumstances to use the “clarify” call in order to make it clear that an actual In Game key was not used. When a Player first learns this spell, Logistics will provide a key (with a distinctive appearance) that opens most In Game locks. If the key does not fit the lock, then it can be assumed that it is some sort of strange magical lock that can resist this spell. Logistics will only provide one key, so the Player must be responsible for not losing or damaging the key.

Magic Armor

School: Universal Level: 6 Restriction: none Duration: until used Area of Effect: Creature Touched

Incantation: “I grant you two points of magic armor.”

The casting of this spell causes magical energy to envelope the caster’s hand. A creature touched by the energy instantly gains two magical armor points. The points remain until removed by damage or until dispelled.

Magic Missile

School: Universal Level: 1 Restriction: None Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “Magic Missile - Damage One.”

When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a small burst of magical energy. A creature struck by the burst is inflicted with one point of damage to the torso.

Mind Blast

School: Universal Level: 8 Restriction: None Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “Mind Blast - Damage Ten.”

When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a magical blast of raw mental energy. A creature struck by the blast is inflicted with ten points of damage to the torso. Note that immunities and

11

protections from mental spells will be effective against this spell.

Sleep

School: Universal Level: 12 Restriction: None Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “I cause you to sleep for five minutes.”

When this spell is cast, the caster forces the victim into an unshakable state of unconsciousness for five minutes. The victim cannot be awakened by any normal means. Not even physical damage will stir the sleeping victim. Note that immunities and protections from mental spells will be effective against this spell, as will the sleep resistance of Elves and other creatures.

Spell Guard

School: Universal Level: 4 Restriction: None Duration: Until used Area of Effect: Creature Touched

Incantation: “I grant you a guard from the next spell.”

When this spell is cast, the caster forms a magical barrier of protection around the touched being. The next spell to affect the protected creature will be negated - the Player should call out “Resist!” when subjected to a spell or magical effect. This spell does not negate magical attacks delivered by a claw or weapon strike. This spell will not protect against potions the Player Character drinks or touch-delivered spells that the Player Character does not refuse.

Spell Resistance

School: Universal Level: 7 Restriction: None Duration: Until used Area of Effect: Creature Touched

Incantation: “I grant you a spell resistance.”

When this spell is cast, the caster forms a magical barrier of protection around the touched being. The protected creature may then negate one spell or magical effect of his choice that he is later subjected to.

12

The Player should call out “Resist!” when using this protection. This spell does not negate magical attacks delivered by a claw or weapon strike. This spell will not protect against potions the Player Character drinks or touch-delivered spells that the Player Character does not refuse.

Zone of Communication

School: UniversalLevel: 3 Restriction: None Duration: Five Minutes Area of Effect: No more than 10 steps from caster

Incantation: “Zone of communication. Five minutes.”

When this spell is cast, the caster creates an immobile area in which all creatures have the ability to speak the common tongue. The area is centered on the caster at the moment of casting. The area extends no farther than 10 steps in any direction from the caster’s location at the time of casting. To cast the spell, the caster need only recite the incant. The caster should speak loud enough so that everyone in the area of effect can hear the incant. If the caster intends to walk after casting, it would be wise to place a clear marker (referred to as a “Focal Point” In Game) in the spot he was standing at the moment of casting. In this way, everyone involved will know how far they can move before they exit the area. It is the caster’s responsibility to make the marker obvious to everyone in the area. Any creature exiting the area’s boundary instantly loses the ability to communicate, but will regain it if they re-enter the area (as long as the area’s five minutes have not elapsed). The spell only grants communicative abilities to creatures present in the area of effect at the time of casting. Creatures entering the area later do not gain the ability unless they were there at the time of casting. Note that no creature is ever compelled to speak – the spell simply grants them the ability to do so. Extremely dim-witted monsters may speak very poorly. Creatures of animal intelligence will only be able to convey general concepts. Mindless monsters cannot speak at all.

13

The School of Air

Air of Silence

School: Air Level: 12 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: five minutes Area of Effect: Creature Targeted Incantation: “I cause silence in the air around you - five minutes.” This spell creates a zone of silent air around a victim that thwarts all verbal sound produced by the victim for five minutes.

The silence prevents all verbal communication as well as the casting of spells (even with the skill “Arcane”). The Player is free to pantomime speaking or shouting without making any sound.

Innate spells, spells cast from magic items, and magical effects are unaffected. Obviously, Skill calls and other Out Of Game calls are unaffected.

Air of Stability

School: Air Level: 2 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: until used Area of Effect: Creature Touched

Incantation: “I grant you a resistance to trip.”

When this spell is cast, the caster forms a magical airy buffer of protection around the touched being.

The air helps to stabilize the upright position of the protected creature. Should the creature start to fall, a magical wind forces him back to the previous stable position. The spell recipient may then negate one “trip” effect of his choice that he is later subjected to. The Player should call out “Resist!” when using this protection. This spell will not assist a dead or unconscious Player Character. This spell will not protect against potions the Player Character drinks or touch-delivered spells that the Player Character does not refuse.

Air Resistance

School: Air Level: 6 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: Until used Area of Effect: Creature Touched

14

Incantation: “I grant you an air spell resistance.”

When this spell is cast, the caster forms a magical barrier of protection around the touched being. The protected creature may then negate one spell of his choice from the School of Air that he is later subjected to. The Player should call out “Resist!” when using this protection. Air spells can easily be recognized by their incants. The wording will include references to lightning, electricity, air, wind, etc. This spell will not protect against potions the Player Character drinks or touch-delivered spells that the Player Character does not refuse.

Chain Lightning

School: Air Level: 10 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “Chain Lightning – Damage 20.”

When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being arcing electrical bolts of magical energy. A creature struck by the bolts suffers 20 points of damage to the torso area.

Disarming Wind

School: Air Level: 2 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “I call forth a gust of wind to disarm your weapon.”

When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a focused gust of magical wind. The powerful wind causes a victim to drop his weapon as if affected by the “Disarm” skill- the victim must attempt to toss the weapon to the ground at least five feet away. If the victim of this spell is holding more than one weapon, then he may choose which weapon to drop. All types of weapons are subject to this spell, excluding Two-Handed Weapons (as like the skill “Disarm”). Note that the spell packet need not strike the weapon or a certain part of the body. This spell, as with all spells, may hit anywhere on the body or personal gear.

15

In darkness or other uncertain conditions, the Player of a monster fighting with claws must make a call of “Claw” to inform the caster that there is not an actual weapon present. In this case, the spell’s Mana is not expended.

Dismiss Earth Elemental

School: Air Level: 15 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “I dismiss this earth elemental to its home plane.” When this spell is cast, the caster causes a targeted earth elemental to instantly vanish, returning to its home plane. Note that certain tremendously powerful elementals may be immune to this spell.

Electrocution

School: Air Level: 7 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: five seconds Area of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “I cause you agony by electrocution - five seconds.”

When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a burst of magical electrical energy. A creature struck by the burst is assailed with extremely painful internal and external surges of electricity. The electrical surges cause a victim to experience an effect identical to the “Agony” skill - the victim must role-play experiencing severe pain, and fall to the ground (optionally, the victim may fall to his knees or one knee). He must remain in this position for at least five seconds. The victim is not required to scream in pain, but may chose to do so. He should at least groan or make some sort of painful sound to acknowledge receiving the attack. The victim may not cast spells during the time of agony, nor may he activate magic items. He may attempt to block attacks with his shield or weapons (and the Parry and Dodge skills may be used). He may not make any type of attack whatsoever during the five seconds.

Gas Immunity

School: Air Level: 8 Restriction: Air School Specialists only Duration: five minutes Area of Effect: Creature Touched

16

Incantation: “I grant you immunity to all gases - five minutes.”

When this spell is cast, the caster forms an area of clean pure air around the touched being. The spell recipient may then negate all gas attacks that he is subjected to in the next five minutes. The Player should call out “Resist!” when using this protection.

Lightning Storm

School: Air Level: 14 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted Incantation: “Lightning Storm – Damage 30.” When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a flurry of arcing electrical bolts of magical energy. A creature struck by the bolts suffers 30 points of damage to the torso area.

Missile Immunity

School: Air Level: 6 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: five minutes Area of Effect: The Caster Incantation: “I grant myself immunity to missile weapons – five minutes.” When this spell is cast, the caster gains a protective barrier of magical wind around him. The caster may then totally negate any missile weapon attacks that he is subjected to in the next five minutes. The weapons do not touch the caster’s body at all – they are completely deflected by the wind. The Player should call out “No Effect” (not “Resist”) when subjected to such attacks since the weapon

17

never actually penetrates the barrier.

Shock

School: Air Level: 3 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted Incantation: “Shock - Damage five.” When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a small electrical burst of magical energy. A creature struck by the burst suffers 5 points of damage to the torso area.

Static Discharge

School: Air Level: 8 Restriction: Air School Specialists only Duration: instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted Incantation: “Static discharge - Shock Damage five! Shock Damage five! Shock Damage five! Shock Damage five! Shock Damage five!” When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being five small electrical bursts of magical energy. A creature struck by a burst suffers 5 points of damage to the torso area. Each burst requires a separate spell packet. The packets must be thrown one at a time in immediate succession.

Toppling Wind

School: Air Level: 3 Restriction: Air School Specialist only Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted Incantation: “I cause you to trip from a gale-force wind.” When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a blast of magical wind. A creature struck by the wind is toppled over by the force. This has the same effect as a successful hit by the “Trip” skill - the victim must fall to the ground but may then get back up as quickly as he is able to. Note that the spell packet need not strike the legs of the target. This spell, as with all spells, may hit anywhere on the body or personal gear.

The sudden hole has the same effect as a successful hit by the “Trip” skill - the victim must fall to the ground but may then get back up as quickly as he is able to.

Note that the spell packet need not strike the legs of the target. This spell, as with all spells, may hit anywhere on the body or personal gear.

Earth Resistance

School: EarthLevel: 6Restriction: Earth School Specialist onlyDuration: Until usedArea of Effect: Creature Touched

20

Incantation: “I grant you an earth spell resistance.”

When this spell is cast, the caster forms a magical barrier of protection around the touched being. The protected creature may then negate one spell of his choice from the School of Earth that he is later subjected to. The Player should call out “Resist!” when using this protection.

Earth spells can easily be recognized by their incants. The wording will include references to sand, rocks, earth, etc.This spell will not protect against potions the Player Character drinks or touch-delivered spells that the Player Character does not refuse.

Earthen Grasp

School: EarthLevel: 4Restriction: Earth School Specialist onlyDuration: InstantArea of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “I cause the earth to pin your left foot in place - five minutes.”

When this spell is cast, the caster causes the earth to form a magical grasping hand that rises up to hold fast the left foot of the targeted creature. The foot cannot be moved from its spot for five minutes.

Fist of Rock

School: EarthLevel: 8Restriction: Earth School Specialists onlyDuration: instantArea of Effect: Creature Targeted

Incantation: “I call forth a fist of rock to shatter your shield.”

When this spell is cast, the caster brings into being a disembodied fist made of magical stone. The fist instantly shatters any shield held or carried by the victim.

The owner of the shield can no longer use it in combat. The shield is considered permanently destroyed until it is repaired by a weapon smith.

This spell has no effect on items other than shields. Shattered shields are automatically repaired fully at no cost between events.

Granite Form

School: EarthLevel: 10

21

Restriction: Earth School Specialist onlyDuration: indefiniteArea of Effect: The Caster

Incantation: “I grant myself a granite form.”

This spell will instantly transform the caster into a stone statue. The caster must assume a rigid stance and cross his arms over his chest. Optionally, he may kneel, sit, or lay down, but must still maintain the rigidity and crossed arms.

While in statue form, the caster is immune to all weapon and claw attacks – this includes magical weapons. The Player should call out “No Effect” (not “Resist”) when subjected to such attacks since the weapon/claw never actually penetrates the body’s surface.

Note that some types of attacks (skills such as “Assassinate” and certain spells) can kill by means other than vitality damage. Tree of Life will not protect against these things. The caster may not switch hands during the spell. The spell ends if the hand is removed from the tree for any reason.

An “attack spell” is considered any baneful spell that is cast on another creature.

Urgo Spells

Dispel Silence Level: 1 Restriction: Specialty Priests of Urgo Duration: Instant Area of Effect: Creature Targeted Incantation: “Dispel Silence.” When this spell is cast, the caster instantly negates all spells and magical effects that are imposing a state of silence on the targeted creature.

Free Speech

Level: 1 Restriction: Specialty Priests of Urgo Duration: five minutes Area of Effect: no more than 10 steps from caster Incantation: “Free Speech. Communication - five minutes.” When this spell is cast, the caster creates an immobile area in which all creatures have the ability to speak the common tongue. The area is centered on the caster at the moment of casting. The area extends no farther than 10 steps in any direction from the caster’s location at the time of casting.

To cast the spell, the caster need only recite the incant. The caster should speak loud enough so that everyone in the area of effect can hear the incant. If the caster intends to walk after casting, it would be wise to place a clear marker (referred to as a “Focal Point” In Game) in the spot he was standing at the moment of casting. In this way, everyone involved will know how far they can move before they exit the area. It is the caster’s responsibility to make the marker obvious to everyone in the area.

Any creature exiting the area’s boundary instantly loses the ability to communicate, but will regain it if they re-enter the area (as long as the area’s five minutes have not elapsed). The spell only grants communicative abilities to creatures present in the area of effect at the time of casting. Creatures entering the area later do not gain the ability unless they were there at the time of casting. Note that no creature is ever compelled to speak – the spell simply grants them the ability to do so. Extremely dim-witted monsters may speak very poorly. Creatures of animal intelligence will only be able to convey general concepts. Mindless monsters cannot speak at all.

91

Reveal Magical Attributes Level: 1 Restriction: Specialty Priests of Urgo Duration: instant (at Logistics) Area of Effect: Magic Item Touched Incantation: “By the power of Urgo, I identify this magic item.” This spell grants the caster insight into the magical properties of a single magic item. No information at all will be gleaned from a non-magical item. Should this spell be cast on a non-magical item, no information will be gained and the points of Divine Favor for the spell are wasted. This spell does not grant the ability to ascertain the monetary value of either a magical or non-magical item. To cast the spell, the Player must bring a magic item (or its Number Tag) to Logistics in order to receive some of the information from the Secret Tag for the item. The item must have a number or Number Tag in order to be identified. Hence, items such as poisons, gems, herbal components, and the like cannot be identified. Cursed items will not be apparent to the caster of this spell. Other methods are required to detect cursed items. For this reason, the item’s Secret Tag will not be given to the caster. The main qualities of the item will be explained to the caster by a Staff Member at Logistics. It would be wise for the Player to make notes of the information.

Magical Potions and Oils to be identified must be brought to Logistics for identification, since this spell will not detect potions considered to be “cursed”. A separate casting is needed for each item to be identified. Note that certain unique or special items cannot be readily identified by this spell. In this case, no information will be gained (just as if the item was non-magical).

Sixth Sense Level: 14 Restriction: Specialty Priests of Urgo Duration: Until Used Area of Effect: The Caster Incantation: “I grant myself a Sixth Sense.” The casting of this spell causes the caster to gain one usage of the skill Waylay Resistance.

Rituals & Rites

The most powerful of all magic is the special class of wizard spells known as Rituals. Wielders of divine spells have a similar class of spells called Rites. These potent spells can accomplish all sorts of strange and wondrous things. It is thought that they are only limited by the imagination and resources of the spell caster. Rituals and Rites are usually 20th level or higher, but there are also lower level so-called “Minor” Rituals and Rites.

Learning Rituals and Rites Rituals and Rites may be learned from Insight Scrolls just as other spells. Insight Scrolls of Rituals and Rites will be extremely rare and appallingly expensive. The main aspect of Rituals and Rites is their complexity. The instructions for particular Rituals and Rites can be discovered In Game. Once known, the Ritual/Rite can be immediately attempted. This circumvents the method of learning the spell Out Of Game between events. Instructions for casting Rituals and Rites may be found In Game in ancient tomes, long lost libraries, and other repositories of knowledge. The information may be stolen or purchased from other Player Characters or NPCs. Specific Rituals and Rites have been developed for the sole purpose of ascertaining the legitimacy of such information. If a Ritual or Rite is learned by way of an Insight Scroll, then a copy of the instructions for its casting will be given to the Player at check-in of the next event.

Rituals and Rites on Casting Scrolls

So-called “Casting Scrolls” for Rituals and Rites do not exist in the usual sense. Since the spell’s information is all that is needed, any scroll/book/parchment that explains the spell could be used for casting. In fact, the caster can use a collection of writings or even personal notes. If the caster actually memorizes the information Out Of Game, then no written documents are needed at all.

Requirements for Casting Rituals and Rites Only Player Characters of the Mage class may cast Rituals. Only Player Characters of the Cleric class may cast Rites. Each Ritual and Rite has its own set of additional requirements. Caster requirements can vary considerably. A very powerful Ritual or Rite may require the caster be an Adept in a School of Magic or have a minimum of 100 Mana or Divine Favor.

Casting Rituals and Rites In order to cast a Ritual or Rite, the caster must go to NPC Camp to notify a staff member Out Of Game which Ritual/Rite is being attempted. A staff member must be present to witness and adjudicate the casting (except during the Rite of Holy Ward). Most likely, the staff member will stand nearby with a white Out Of Game headband and will watch the proceedings very closely. If any requirement is not met, or any violation is made (no matter how small), the staff member will declare a “miscast”.

93

The ruling will not be disclosed until the casting is complete. The staff member will discreetly indicate to the caster (and the subject, if applicable) whether or not the casting has succeeded. Any further details should be discussed Out Of Game and away from the area.

The Particulars of Rituals and Rites

The area of effect for a Ritual/Rite could be one person, five persons, or possibly an entire town! The duration for a Ritual/Rite is usually five minutes, five hours, or five days (the whole event). Longer durations are also thought to exist. Generally, if anyone casting or assisting the caster is disturbed in any way, the Ritual or Rite fails.

Create Your Own Rituals and Rites If a Player writes his own Ritual/Rite and we

approve it (warning: we are real sticklers and will undoubtedly modify it considerably), then he will be given one free Insight Scroll of the Ritual/Rite at the next event in which it is ready.

Rite of Holy Ward

The Rite of Holy Ward is included with the common Rituals and Rites. It is unique, however, in the way it has been presented to the players in-game. The Rite was a reward, or blessing, from the gods, after an event that took place in the year 1009. The knowledge of the Rite was imparted to all players, and in-depth information can be found on the Knight Blades forums. What you find here is only the means in which to cast the Rite. After getting what you need from NPC camp, the adjudication of the casting falls to any and all players witnessing it.

Common Rituals and Rites

What follows are some of the simplest and most frequently seen Rituals and Rites:

94

Rite of Divine Understanding

Level: 20

Level: 20Target: Self Components: none requiredCasting Area: any suitable area (see below)Caster Requirements: Cleric Who Has Purchased At Least One Point of Divine Favor

Duration: PermanentDetails:This Rite allows the caster to petition his patron deity for knowledge of a special “Taught” skill. The Taught skills are: Agony, Cleave, Lockpicking Advanced, Shatter, Waylay Resistance, and the Restricted Skill Holystrike.

The understanding of the skill does not allow instant usage of the skill. It only provides the necessary In Game instruction that a tutor normally provides. The skills must still be purchased with Character Points for use at a later event.

The Casting Area is any area fitting to the deity. For example, Bellicose may approve of the site of a great battle. Clandesta may approve of a well-hidden spot. Urgo may approve of a library. And so on.

The casting is a general roleplaying effort. The caster is free to develop a set of actions that would be appropriate. The casting of the Rite must take at least five minutes.

The caster should report to Logistics to notify the Knight Blades Staff that the Rite is to be performed and which Taught skill is desired. The Rite is disrupted instantly if any of the following occurs during the casting:

• the caster casts another spell or activates a magic item • the caster is struck by any weapon, claw, or packet attack

95

Rite of Holy Ward

Level: 10

Target: A Building With One or Two Exterior Doors.Components: Ten Points of Divine Favor, Five Components of Any Type, A Door as a Focal PointCasting Area: The Targeted BuildingCaster Requirements: Cleric who has Purchased At Least Ten Points of Divine Favor

Duration: Until Permanently Broken or The End of The Event it was CastDetails:This Rite prevents the living and the undead from touching the doors and/or entry into the target building. It does not prevent inanimate objects or spells from crossing the threshold of an open door in either direction. Only the caster, and any others attuned to the ward, can enter the protected building at will. Those not attuned can only enter the building with the assistance of someone who is attuned. Anyone can exit a warded building at will.

The casting of the Rite can be disrupted. When disrupted, divine favor and the components are not expended, and a new attempt can begin whenever the caster wishes. If the caster does not make any further attempts to recast, and the event ends, then the divine favor and components are used up. A completed Rite of Holy Ward cannot be dispelled by any known magical means.

The casting begins once the Cleric speaks his first incant of the Rite. The Cleric is responsible to make sure he has everything he needs in place prior to the speaking of the incants. Should the Caster stop facing the door or displaying their holy symbol during the casting, for any reason or amount of time, the attempt is disrupted. If the players being attuned remove their hand, for any reason or amount of time, and the caster continues the Rite, they will not be attuned to the ward, but the casting is not disrupted.

After a successful casting, the Holy Ward can only be broken by in-game means. It requires strength of arms by a group of five people, or a single person with superhuman strength. It begins when the player(s) are in position and state the first incant of their five minute casting time. The breaking of the Ward is a form of the Rite. It can only be disrupted by using an in game means to stop the players from completing it. If any one weapon or claw placed against the door is removed for any reason or amount of time, the breaking is disrupted and must be started again, from the beginning, if you choose to attempt it.

After a ward has been broken, it can be restored by the Original Caster of the Rite. It begins when the Cleric is in position and states the first incant and spends 55 seconds of casting time. The Restoration of the Ward is a form of the Rite, and cannot be disrupted unless the caster is killed or a skill prevents him/her from completing the restoration. In other words, a caster can take damage and still continue the restoration due to the magic of the Rite. Should the Caster stop facing the door or displaying their holy symbol during the casting, for any reason or amount of time, the Restoration is disrupted and must be started again, from the beginning, if you choose to attempt it.

96

Rite of Verification

Level: 20

Target: Self Components: One Point of Divine Favor (this point is permanently sacrificed) Casting Area: The Pocket Dimension of Divination Caster Requirements: Cleric Who Has Purchased At Least One Point of Divine Favor

Duration: Special Details: This Rite allows the caster to contact an Aspect of his deity. The Aspect may be asked questions in order to verify the accuracy of information regarding a Rite. Only Rite-related information may be obtained through this spell. The Casting Area is The Pocket Dimension of Divination. The location will be made known to the caster Out Of Game when the casting attempt is announced at NPC Camp. The casting begins when the portal (string of lights) opens to The Pocket Dimension of Divination. If the caster does not enter the portal within five minutes, then the spell ends. The caster is the only creature permitted within The Pocket Dimension of Divination. Upon entering The Pocket Dimension of Divination, the caster must stand within a circle that will be on the floor or ground.

The questioning may begin as soon as the Aspect arrives. Its arrival will be indicated by the phrase “I am here.” Its departure will be indicated by the phrase “I am leaving.”

The caster may ask the Aspect a maximum of five questions regarding one specific Rite. The answer will always be “Yes” or “No”. If the Aspect wants the question repeated, then the response will be “Ask Again” or “Repeat”. Repeated questions do not count toward the total number allowed. If the question is not phrased in the form of a yes/no question, then the Aspect will state “Unacceptable Question” (this WILL count toward the total number allowed). Questions that do not pertain to the particular Rite announced at NPC Camp will be deemed unacceptable. The spell ends instantly if any of the following occurs: the caster steps out of the circle the caster casts a spell or activates a magic item more than five minutes passes after an answer has been given a question is not asked within five minutes of the Aspect’s arrival

When the spell is finished, the Divine Favor used in the casting of the spell is instantly replaced. However, one point of Divine Favor is permanently deducted from the Player Character’s total.

97

Rite of Weapon Consecration Result: Grants one weapon the descriptor of “Blessed” for the remainder of the event.

Level: 10

Target: One Weapon of Any Type Components: Five Silver Pieces (gold pieces will not work) Casting Area: 50-Foot Diameter Circle Caster Requirements: Cleric Who Has Purchased At Least 10 Points of Divine Favor

Duration: Five Days Details: The Casting Area must be measured and clearly marked off with a delicate unbroken item such as a ribbon. Five worshipers must openly wear holy symbols and must remain in the circle to assist the caster. All holy symbols openly worn or displayed within the circle must be of the same god or undergod and of the “blessed” variety. The casting begins when the caster states the title of the rite. He then places the components on the ground in front of him. At this point, he is no longer permitted to move from the spot he is standing in. The caster must hold his holy symbol above his head while reciting fifty reasons to worship his god. The same reason cannot be used more than once. The reasons must be stated one at a time, with a pause between each one. The five assistants must remain still and silent during the recitation. The caster then must touch his holy symbol to the weapon. All participants must then touch their holy symbols to the weapon. Each of the five assistants must state one reason to bless the weapon. The same reason cannot be used more than once. The reasons must be stated one at a time. The caster concludes the rite by stating the name of the god, followed by “I implore you to consecrate this weapon.” Sources of Failure: An object or creature enters the area once the casting has commenced. The boundary line is broken or moved by a creature. Anyone speaks words other than those required.

98

Ritual of Mana Replacement

Level: 20

Target: One Spellcaster (The Subject may not be a School of Magic Specialist) Components: One Hundred Silver Pieces (gold pieces will not work) Casting Area: 100-Foot Diameter Circle Caster Requirements: Mage Who Has Purchased At Least 21 Points of Mana

Duration: Until Expended Details: This Ritual restores all purchased Mana points expended by the subject due to spell casting. Mana lost in other ways (from Rituals, Curses, Potions, etc.) cannot be restored.

The Casting Area must be measured and clearly marked off with a delicate unbroken item such as a ribbon. The caster and the subject are the only creatures permitted within the circle. There may not be any upright trees within the circle. The only man made objects permitted in the circle must be carried by the caster and/or subject. The casting begins when the caster states the title of the ritual. He then places the components on the ground in front of him. At this point, he is no longer permitted to move from the spot he is standing in. The caster must hold a single spell packet in each hand while reciting the following incantation: “By deftly channeling and adroitly manipulating the all-encompassing energies of the universe, I cause the totality of your expended Mana to coalesce and return to your command, control, and mastery for future convention and handling.” The subject must remain still and silent during the incantation. The caster then must touch the spell packet in his left hand to the right shoulder of the subject. Then the caster must touch the spell packet in his right hand to the left shoulder of the subject and ask “Do you accept?” The subject must reply “yes” or the ritual fails. The caster concludes the rite by stating “I hereby replace all of your Mana.” Sources of Failure: An object or creature enters the area once the casting has commenced. The boundary line is broken or moved by a creature. Anyone speaks words other than those required.
