Each melee that the caster holds the victim, he is immobilized in agony and loses 1 P.E. (roll to save each melee, with a cumulative -1 to the saving throw each melee, remembering any loss of bonus vs. magic due to lowered P.E.). If maintained for over 6 melees, the victim must also make one save vs. insanity or get a random insanity (or GM chooses an appropriate insanity). If the victim is taken to 0 P.E., they must save vs Coma or go comatose until their P.E. is back to normal (recover 1 per day). If they save vs. coma, victim passes out for 1D4 hours (at which point they awake with 1/2 P.E., the rest recovers 1 per day).

When the spell ends, there is a 49% chance that the sacrificial victim is resurrected to full health. If he is, he gains 1D4+1 random insanities (no save).

| SAVE: Standard | |
| Dur: Instantaneous | Range: 20 feet |
| Cost: 100/600 P.P.E. | Comp: Verbal |
| EFFECT: Banishes all water from the target. In the cast of the spell being used on a living target, the instant, total dehydration is instantly lethal. Using ROZETH on a living target costs 6x as much P.P.E. (600 instead of 100). 8 + 1 ft�/ level can be effected | |
| SAVE: Standard | |
| Dur: 2 melees / level | Range: Self |
| Cost: 800 P.P.E. | Comp: Verbal |
| EFFECT: Diamond-sharp claws of Eldrich energy form around caster's hands. A successful hit with the claw does 5D6x100 HP damage. If taken below 0 HP, the victim does not die, but remains alive and awake in extreme pain until a Negate Magic or lethal spell is cast on him (both will kill him). While in this cursed pain state, the victim will not heal naturally; nor will psionic/magical healing help him. | |
| SAVE: None, Dodge | |
| Dur: 1 year, or until Remove Curse is cast | Range: Touch |
| Cost: 900 P.P.E. | Comp: Verbal, Material (wolfbane for werewolves, catnip for weretigers, rowanleaf for werepanther, blackthorn for werejaguar) |
| EFFECT: Victim must be held for at least 5 minutes, while the ritual is cast (physically restraining the victim prevents the same person from casting the spell). Whenever the victim is under stress, or can see the full moon (from a planet's surface), he must roll under � his ME (rounded up) on a D20, or else he metamorphoses into a werebeast. Only Werepathers & Werejaguars have any hope of controlling their homicidal urges. The victim returns to normal when they have calmed down for at least 2 minutes, but they must have tasted blood before they can be calmed. Treat the character as a normal werebeast of the appropriate type (roll a new set of attributes, but only while in were form), except the change is involuntary (cannot voluntarily change), and the victim only assumes the man-beast form. The character's alignment also changes while transformed to the worst possible for the specific werebeast type. Type of werebeast is determined at time of casting by using a specific herb as the material component. | |
| SAVE: Standard vs. Ritual | |
| Dur: Permanent until dispelled | Range: 100 ft / level |
| Cost: 1000 P.P.E. | Comp: Verbal |
| EFFECT: The victim's extremities separate from their torso and live independently of each other. Appendages without any mode of movement will grow tiny cilia to walk on (i.e. the head). Each limb retains its own S.D.C., HP and powers associated with it. The limbs can be reassembled in the same form, or a completely different form. When the spell is revoked, the affected limbs become permanently bonded together in whatever form they are currently in. If reassembled in an bizarre or unusual form, they still become one independent creature, with internal anatomy automatically adjusting to the new form. Multiple creatures can be combined in this manner to make truly nauseating monsters. Note that intelligence and personality remain with the head. | |
| SAVE: Standard | |
| Dur: Special | Range: Self, or others by ritual |
| Cost: 2000 P.P.E. | Comp: Material (sentient victim for sacrifice, bone knife), Incantation (1 min, for self) or Ritual (3 hours, for others) |
| EFFECT: This spell causes the caster to stop aging naturally for the duration of the spell. When the spell expires, the caster begins aging normally again. The duration is equal to how many years the sacrificial victim was from physical maturity � the caster's level. Ley line energy has the normal effect on the duration of this spell. (i.e. a Nexus Point triples the duration) | |
| SAVE: Not applicable, but spell is +4 vs being dispelled | |
