fenrir couple of level 6 spells (others have to be tested) |
| * {{:misc:magic:water.png?15&nolink}}**Water** primarily gives you Ice spells, both on-land and underwater, which do Cold Damage. These spells generally aren't as powerful as the Fire or Lightning spells, especially since most of them can't get through armor, but they scale similarly to the Fire spells in the school. The path is a lot stronger underwater, where Water Mages will have a lot more to work with. | * {{:misc:magic:water.png?15&nolink}}**Water** primarily gives you Ice spells, both on-land and underwater, which do Cold Damage.

| * {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}**Earth** doesn't give you much in the Evocation school, though it allows you to spontaneously Create & fire solid projectiles at foes, dealing non-magical damage. Later on, you can project energy into the Earth to get a response, a bit like what low-level Water Mages can do in the water (but a lot less focused). It's a lot more effective when given more power from another path. | * {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}**Earth** doesn't give you much in the Evocation school, though it allows you to spontaneously Create & fire solid projectiles at foes, dealing non-magical damage.

| * {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}**Astral** gives you Light/Positive Energy spells, but they're not straightforward damage-dealers; while Armor-Negating, this energy is generally rather bad at dealing damage to mundane beings, and is better used for giving them Fatigue or attracting [[horror|Horrors]] to them -- unless they're [[Undead]], of course! It also has some Ritual-spell functions that aren't useful in battle, such as projecting your senses. | * {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}**Astral** gives you Light/Positive Energy spells, but they're not straightforward damage-dealers; while Armor-Negating, this energy is generally rather bad at dealing damage to mundane beings, and is better used for giving them Fatigue or attracting [[horror|Horrors]] to them -- unless they're [[Undead]], of course! It also lets you project your mind and senses. |
| * {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}**Death** gives you Dark/Negative Energy spells, but not a ton of them. It's not particularly easy to get something from nothing with this path, and these spells generally require a bit more knowledge/power than their counterparts. They don't harm Undead foes, but they certainly do a lot to living targets, and they're also Armor-Negating. | * {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}**Death** gives you Dark/Negative Energy spells, but not a ton of them.

| * {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}**Nature** doesn't give you much in this school, and is limited a bit like Earth & Death. You get a Life Energy spell or two, a Poison spell or two, and a very-limited Creation spell or two. | * {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}**Nature** doesn't give you much in this school, and is limited a bit like Earth & Death.

This makes it harder to fly and the heat effects of Abysians and other hot creatures are severely reduced.

The winner lives and the loser dies, a tie results in both mages dying.** | Instantly kills either the caster, a random unit with at least {{path>S1}} on the opposing side, or both, depending on the dice roll & their levels.\\ Level-changes through [[Items]], Spells, and split [[Pretenders|Trinities]] are not counted, but Level-changes through [[Empowerment]], [[Afflictions]], and [[Shapechanger|shape]] **are** counted.

Where the orb lands a lightning will strike a nearby unit and continue to travel to other nearby units until it eventually dissipates.// | A somewhat-close-range, not-quite-accurate single-target shot that does 5 AN Shock DMG. It "bounces" 5 times, hitting another unit up to one square away or simply traveling to another square if none are available, and bounces even if the caster misses.

| | ??Gifts from Heaven?? | {{path>E3S1}} | | | | | ??Gifts from Heaven?? | {{path>E3S1}} | //A strange whizzing sound emanates from the heavens. Soon, three meteors, glowing with astral fire, plummet from the Stellar Sphere onto the battlefield.// | Three shots from the sky, each dealing 150 Blunt DMG with an AOE of 1.\\ This spell is **quite** inaccurate; after "[[Precision]]" determines where the shots will land, they deviate from that by a square or two. | |
| | ??Earthquake?? | {{path>E4}}\\ {{gems>3E}} | | | | | ??Earthquake?? | {{path>E4}}\\ {{gems>3E}} | //With a thundering boom, the ground heaves and erupts, throwing soldiers into crevices that close after a few seconds. If cast in a cave province the effects are devastating.// | Every unit that has neither the [[Floating]] trait nor the [[Flying]] trait rolls an [[DRN|open-ended]] 3d6, and compares it to their Defense skill (not //quite// a DRN). Defense modifiers from weapons, shields, and [[Fatigue]] aren't counted, but modifiers from Armor are, and the Encumbrance caused by Shields is used as a **negative** Defense modifier. Units with Defense lower than their rolls take 8 AP **non-magical** DMG. This cannot be cast underwater.\\ In Caves, Earthquake also drops stalactites on roughly 10% of the battlefield; this ignores traits and does 20 AP **non-magical** DMG, but the rolls for units in those squares are the same. | |
| | ??Stellar Cascades?? | {{path>S2}} | | | | | ??Stellar Cascades?? | {{path>S2}} | //Light from a stellar body will shower down upon a group of enemies. Everyone caught in the shower of light will become exhausted as the light sucks energy through their skin.// | Instantly does 25 **AP** Fatigue DMG with an AOE of 5. MR **only partially** negates; those who pass their roll will get half as much Fatigue. This doesn't work underwater. | |
| | ??Astral Geyser?? | {{path>S3}} | | | | | ??Astral Geyser?? | {{path>S3}} | //Tiny holes are blasted into the astral space. For a short time rays of astral energy will blast out of the holes and anyone hit will be severely horror marked. Anyone in the vicinity of the astral energy rays will get hit by deadly residual magic.// | A long-range (but not-very-accurate) AOE 1 spell that instantly gives 2 [[Horror Mark|Horror Marks]] to the targets, unless they're [[Mindless]].\\ It also does 2 AN DMG with an AOE of 10, centered where the first part landed, though MR negates the Damage. | |
| | ??Shadow Blast?? | {{path>D2}}\\ {{gems>1D}} | | | | | ??Shadow Blast?? | {{path>D2}}\\ {{gems>1D}} | //The necromancer hurls a blast of dark energies against his enemies. The blast ignores all armor and can paralyze those wounded by the spell. The [[undead]] are immune to this spell.// | An AOE 6 shot that deals 20 AN DMG, scaling with {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}} (+1 Dmg). MR negates. +1 AOE per extra {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}.\\ It also deals 5 AN [[Paralysis]] DMG with the exact same AOE, even to those who negated the real damage, though MR negates this too.\\ It works underwater! | |
| | ??Poison Cloud?? | {{path>N3}} | | | | | ??Poison Cloud?? | {{path>N3}} | //The caster creates a cloud of noxious spores dangerous to men. The cloud remains on the battlefield for some time and everyone entering the cloud will be affected by its poison.// | An AOE 4 cloud that lasts 4 turns, dealing roughly 1 AN Poison DMG per sixth-of-a-round to those passing through. +1 AOE per extra {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}.\\ Unlike other Clouds, it works underwater! | |
| | ??Healing Mists?? | {{path>N3A1}} | | | | | ??Healing Mists?? | {{path>N3A1}} | //A cloud of fine mists appears on the battlefield. Anyone inside the mists will have their wounds magically healed. The spell doesn't affect [[inanimate]] beings.// | An AOE 9 cloud that lasts 4 turns, healing roughly 2 lost HP (+/- [[DRN]]) per half-round for those passing through.\\ +1 AOE per extra {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}. | |

The more units present in the camp, the greater the chance of hitting a target. The spell can also be used to harass a besieging force or the defenders of a castle.

The mage can target any province of his choice and those affected will not know who has cast this spell upon them.// | An attack Ritual with a 5-province range, adding {{scales>H3}} to its [[Scales]]. This is reported as a random event, and thus can only happen once per turn in the same province. Being a "Desert" spell, it neither works in nor affects underwater provinces. | |

This is technically a "random" event, and thus it can't happen more than once per turn in the same province. It neither works in nor affects underwater provinces. | |
