Spells for War of Shadows




This is a small part of the quite extensive list of original spells created for War of Shadows. I'm slowly writing out the ones I have and someday the ones the players invented will turn up too. Until then, I've still got my work cut out for me. The spells are sorted by level. Certain types of spells are listed at the beginning.

3-4 Quasit
5-9 Sludgy Daemon (like manes)
10-14 Grotesque Daemon (like nupperibo)

Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1-3 targets (see below)

Undo Transformation (3rd)
School: Alteration
Range: 50 feet + 5/level
Components: V, S
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1d4 target creations
Saving Throw: Special

This spell reverses all biomancy transformations preformed on this creature or passed to it from its ancestors.š This includes combinations and granted abilities.š For every level the original modifier is above the caster, there is a 5% chance of failure (undoing transformations by deities or members of the First Race always fails).š Combined creatures, like the Owlbear, split into their component parts.

Vorith's Shroud (3rd)
School: Necromancy
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 turn + 2 rounds/level
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: Caster
Saving Throw: None

The caster is surrounded by swirling scraps of negative energy. Any unintelligent undead will believe the caster a fellow undead and not attack unless specifically ordered to (“Attack that undead” not even “Attack that Group” or “Attack Everyone that Passes through”, “Everyone who passes, including undead” would also work).

Augment Attribute (4th)
School: Alteration
Range: Touch

Aura Surge 4th
School: Evocation
Range: 30’ + 5’/level
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: One Creature
Saving Throw: Special

A pulse of disruptive mystical energy courses around the target. If the target is non-magical, they feel an uncomfortable sensation crawl over their body. If the target is an inherently magical creature, they take 4d4 damage. If they have wizard spells memorized, they must make a save vs. spells -4 (not mind-affecting) or loose one spell from each level memorized. Priest spells, the save doesn’t have a penalty.
If they have spells cast on their person, make dispelling rolls against them (level -11 +1d20 vs. caster level). Each spell dispelled backlashes against the bearer. Unless it is an exceptionally energetic spell, it deals 1d4+2/level of the spell. When all is said and done, the target can make a save vs. spells for half damage, although no resistances or shieldings apply.
Magic resistance or spell-turning affects this spell before it has a chance to negate them.
The component for this spell is an entire crushed moonstone, which is thrown at the target.

Binding [Daemon, to Self] (4th)
School: Conjuration, Necromancy
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 3 hours

Bolt Form (4th)
School: Alteration
Range: Special
Components: V, S
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: Caster
Saving Throw: Special

The caster of this spell reduces themself to a mindless construct of pure energy, a lightning bolt.š The caster can travel up to 30 feet per level in a straight line.š Like a lightning bolt spell, the caster will reflect off of any solid surface.š All between the caster and her eventual destination suffer 1d6+1 damage per level (up to 12d6).š Every individual struck in transit does 1d6+1 damage to the caster and every solid surface does 3d6+3.š The caster rematerializes at the end of the range, still crackling with electrical energies.š Casters other than Blue Dragons and Storm Magi are disoriented for one round after the casting of this spell.

Combine [Animals] (4th)
School: Alteration
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1d6 hours
Area of Effect:Two animals touched
Saving Throw: None

This spell combines to animals touched in a basically random way.š For every 5 levels of the caster, she can choose which animal is represented in one part of the body.š So, if a 10th level mage was combining a tiger and a hawk, she could decide that the front legs would be a tiger's and the wings would be a hawk's.š Even with the best of intentions, both animals must make a System Shock roll (usually 35% for small, 60% for medium, 90% for large).š If either fails, the whole is destroyed.
No magical creatures can be combined.š However, giant versions can enter the meld just as easily.š Giant Rats and the rest are fine.

Daemonic Summoning (4th)
School: Conjuration
Range: 10'
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: summons one daemon
Saving Throw: None

Like Lesser Daemonic summoning, this spell plucks a random daemon out of the daemon planes.š This one is able to pluck slightly more powerful daemons.š The caster must still make a Wisdom/Willpower check every round or loose control of the daemon.š These daemons are more intellegent and more vicious, but still aren't powerful enough to make deals.
The caster must offer the daemon a gift (the material component) that costs at least 250 gp, otherwise the daemon is automatically uncontrolled.

Sample Table (1d20):
1-3šššššš Gargoyle daemon (abashai or gargoyles are two examples)
4-8šššššš Daemonic animal (Hellcats are one example of many)
9-12šššš Hordling (anything goes)
12-14šš Hunter Daemon (Barbazu are a more powerful example of this type)
15-16šš Amorphous Blob (just what it sounds like, have fun)
17-18šš More powerful daemon (uncontrolled)
19ššššššš 3d4+4 lesser daemons (uncontrolled)
20ššššššš 1d4+1 of these daemons (uncontrolled)

Dauthier's Combat Mind (4th)
School: Divination
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Level rounds
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: Caster
Saving Throw: none

With this spell cast, the mage has a deep understanding of battle, what moves are being made and how that will effect the future. The caster is much better able to anticipate opponents moves.
Their understanding allows them to outthink and anticipate their opponents actions, ready for the first opening, roll 1d6 for initiative while physically fighting. Against any enemy they can see they are +2 to hit and +2 to AC. They are also +4 on dodging saves (breath weapon) if they see it coming. They are also considered proficient in any weapon that could normally be used by their species.
If they have expertise, specialty, or mastery in their weapon, they can successfully critical hit on one number less (usually 17,18,19, & 20).
However, during this time they can think of little other than combat. When attempting a proficiency check not directly related to combat, it is at -2.

Gerald's Minimalism (4th)
School: Alteration
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 5 rounds + 1 round/level
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Caster
Saving Throw: None

This spell reduces the caster to around 1/10 of an inch.š This is accompanied by an immense loss of weight (although not entirely concurrent with the loss of height).š The caster may cancel this spell at any time.

Imbue (4th)
School: Alteration
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 3 hours + special

Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 3

Component: V, S, M
Duration: 5 rounds

Saving Throw: 1/2

Name Summon (5th)
School: Conjuration
Range: Transplanar
Component: V
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: one unlucky target
Saving Throw: none

This is a spell rarely used but greatly feared.š It only functions if the caster knows the targets full and true name (this is not their given name, its the name of their eternal soul).š The target immediately appears within ten feet of the caster.š Unfortunately the spell makes no provisions for controlling the creature when summoned.
Any being on any plane can be summoned with this spell.š Most often, this spell is used to summon daemons for parlay.š It is also used to conjure opponents.

School: Alteration
Range: 10 feet

Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1 round

Saving Throw: Neg.

The target is infected with a mystical plague if they fail a save vs. death magic at -6.š They are totally denied access to a single school of magic.š Any mage that comes within 10 feet of any one infected with the plague must make a save (vs. death magic -2) every three rounds or catch it.š TTThey do not realize that they are resisting this plague or even if they've caught it.š Every week, they may make another save (original chances) to shake it off.š If they make one of these saves they can not be reinfected by the same plague.š The only other way to cure victims is a bath of holy/unholy water and a heal spell.š However, victims cured that way can be reinfected.
When someone with the plague attempts to cast a spell of the newly barred school, it simply fails.š Fizzles entirely.
The material component for this spell is the ground bones of five specialists in the chosen school (of 6th level or higher).
