Alteration

Alteration is a school of magic. Its spells alter the real world directly.

This is a huge spell school, even slightly bigger than Enchantment. Aside from mere toughening spells (also known as "buffs"), there are ways to alter people for the worse, ways to alter appearances, and even ways to alter fate itself. One can even move the Moon with these spells. Whatever it is, though, Alterations are typically just as temporary as equivalent Enchantments.

Most Alterations can be cast Underwater, and the stat column will specifically note those that aren't.

Twist Fate	1	A self-buff. Is Dominions deterministic? Only in small bursts, such as after casting this.	10 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Twisted Fate (negates the next wound)
Hand of Dust	1	Dusts a tiny area. Technically, it's just a 1-range single-target projectile spell, so you're liable to miss with this in duels.	10 Fatigue 50% Casting Time Range: 1 Square AOE: One Target 6 AN Magic DMG (+1 per )
Poison Touch	1	One minute you're fine; and the next, someone's transmuted the inside of your shirt into contact Poison. Life isn't fair.	5 Fatigue 50% Casting Time Range: 1 Square AOE: One Target 10 AN Poison DMG (+5 per )

Resist Cold	1	A self-buff. Opposes your body to being cold. Water Enchantments would do it better, sure, but that's another path!	10 Fatigue 100% Casting Time +5 Cold Resistance
Personal Mistform	2	A self-buff. Make yourself misty! This isn't Etherealness; anything that goes through your form will still hurt a little. Colossal hits and magical damage will end the spell, to prevent you from coming apart. There's also a 1% failure rate against other stuff.	10 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Mistform (DR 25/) *When HP Damage is Taken:* Reduce it by 25, or to 1 point; whichever lowers it by less. Ended by the Following Hits, after reducing their Damage: - Hits that would otherwise do 25+ DMG - Hits that would otherwise do 2+ DMG (1% chance) - Magic Hits (even 0-to-1-DMG Hits)

Armor of Achilles	1	Did Achilles ever go naked due to his armor falling off? Perhaps he did, in this universe. What "Armor DMG" actually does is not well understood.	40 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Range: 15 Squares +3 Precision AOE: 1 Square 10 Armor/Shield DMG
Personal Stoneskin	1	A self-buff. Gives yourself rough, stone-like skin. This Barkskin "alternative" has its own strengths and shortcomings.	10 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Spiritform negates Overrides Barkskin Stoneskin (+10 NAT PROT, up to 15, or +3 if already 13 or higher) (-5 Cold Resistance)

Enlarge	2	Embiggens a square. It comes with two upsides, one downside, and one stat-change whose badness depends on the targets' original Size.	20 Fatigue Range: 10 Squares AOE: 1 Square Spiritform negates *Enlarged* (for the battle) +1 Size +30% HP (Current and Max) +3 STR -1 DEF
Mirror Image	1	A self-buff. Gives you Shadow Clones. They do what you do; uselessly, of course, but they'll probably catch a sword on your behalf! (This was changed from previous games, but without full documentation on its effect.)	10 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Mirror Images (2 per ) (1 if you don't have levels) *When Hit in Melee:* Spirit Sight negates Blindness negates n = # of Mirror Images N = n / (n + 1) N chance the DMG is negated; if 1+ DMG is negated, one Mirror Image disappears
Blur	1	Blurs a whole square. It should be noted that the effects are visual, thus not working on the Blind.	20 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Range: 20 Squares AOE: 1 Square Blur (Distracts Attackers) *On a Melee Hit Attempt:* True Sight negates Blindness negates -2 ATT (this attempt)

Inner Sun	11 1	A self-buffing ritual. If a fella kills you, you'll flash-bang them with Pantokrator-tier sunlight!

Ritual Local (Self-Application) The Undead cannot cast Inner Fire Light Explosion On Death AOE: 35 Squares Base Penetration: 11 () Demons only Undead only (Either one works) 15 AN Magic DMG
Cold Resistance	2	Inner toastiness. This is enough to cover Frost Clouds, in most cases.	20 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Range: 15 Squares AOE: 1 Square +5 Cold Resistance
Immolation	2	Become a giant sparkler! According to the Mod Inspector, mages won't use this off-script unless they're in an Assassination battle.	Impossible Underwater 20 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Range: 0 Squares (Centered on Caster) AOE: 7 Squares 12 AP Fire DMG (+1 per )

Fire Resistance	2	Inner coolness. This is enough to cover Heat Clouds, in most cases.	20 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Range: 15 Squares AOE: 1 Square +5 Fire Resistance

Personal Ironskin	1	A self-buff. Gives yourself perfect, metallic skin. This Stoneskin "alternative" is powerful, but it makes you more vulnerable to common Armor-Negating DMG.	20 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Spiritform negates Overrides Barkskin Overrides Stoneskin Ironskin (+13 NAT PROT, up to 20, or +5 if already 16 or higher) (-5 Shock Resistance)

Lightning Resistance	2	Inner grounding. This'll help against the zaps of Air Elementals.	20 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Range: 15 Squares AOE: 1 Square +5 Shock Resistance
Body Ethereal	1	Makes fellas incorporeal. This is like Blink (from Dungeons & Dragons), but without the 75% reduction to the damage the fellas deal.	30 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Range: 10 Squares AOE: 1 Square Ethereal (75% Mundanity Resistance)
Animate Tree	1	Makes plants "properly" alive for a bit! They'll be grateful enough to mess with your foes actively, instead of just being neutral roadblocks.

Replaces Bushes with Animated Bushes (Same Size) Replaces Trees with Animated Trees (Same Size)

Mossbody	11	Covers some fellas in magical moss. The moss is damp, soft, and highly reactive. The moss will eventually tire of helping, dispersing in a cloud of spores. Why isn't this an Evocation or a Conjuration? Because the caster has to prep the target's skin!	20 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Range: 10 Squares AOE: 1 Square Spiritform negates *Mossbody* (DR 15/) *Reduces DMG taken* (75% chance) - Doesn't affect Internal Damage. - First, adds 5 Fire Resistance, just against this Damage. - Then, reduces DMG by 15 or to zero; whichever lowers it by less. D = (DMG taken / 15) (calculated after Fire Resistance, but before Damage Reduction) D chance to "Pop" after reducing the DMG taken: Removes the trait AOE: 4 Squares 1 AN Poison DMG

Quickness	2	Speeds a square. The quick get twice as many rounds as others! This doesn't speed up spellcasting, however.	20 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Range: 15 Squares +1 Precision AOE: 1 Square Quickness (+2 ATT, +2 DEF, doubled rounds)
Slow	2	Slows a square. The slow don't just move slower; they also cast spells slower!	20 Fatigue 100% Casting Time Range: 30 Squares Sure Hit AOE: 1 Square Base Penetration: 11 () Slowed (-2 ATT, -2 DEF, halved rounds)

Iron Pigs	31 9	Permanent Ironskin! No one will volunteer for this; thus, this spell applies it to swine.	Ritual Impossible Underwater Local Iron Pig x10 (+½ per )

Enchanted Walls	5 10	A fort-enhancing Ritual. Assigns the "magic" tag to a fort's walls. Some low-level magic items are made in this manner, by the way; maybe that explains this spell's weakness and long duration.
