Spells
As an action, you speak a one-word command to a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters. The target must succeed on a Will saving throw or follow the command. The spell has no effect if the target is undead, if it doesn’t understand your language, or if your command is directly harmful to it.
Some typical commands and their effects follow. You might issue a command other than one described here. If you do so, the GM determines how the target behaves. If the target can’t follow your command, the spell ends.
Approach. On its turn, the creature must use its speed to move toward you by the shortest and most direct route, and can’t willingly move away from you on during its turn.
Drop. The creature immediately drops whatever it is holding at its feet.
When a creature tries to interact with an object in a space occupied by a hostile creature it must use an action to make a Brawn or Nimbleness (its choice) check contested by the hostile creature’s Brawn or Nimbleness check (its choice). If the creature attempting to interact with the object wins the contest, it can interact with the object.
Flee. On its turn, the creature must use its speed to move away from you by the shortest and most direct route, and can’t willingly move toward you on during its turn.
Grovel. The creature immediately falls prone.
Halt. On its turn, the creature can’t willingly move. A flying creature stays aloft, provided that it is able to do so. If it must move to stay aloft, it flies the minimum distance needed to remain in the air.
Augment
You can target one additional creatures for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
You can expend 2 additional mana to change the duration to 1 minute/mana, concentration. For the duration, you can make an additional command on each of your turns.
Harm
As two actions, you unleash a virulent disease on a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters. The creature must make a Fortitude saving throw.
On a failure, it takes 3d10 necrotic damage.
On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.
On a success, it takes half as much damage.
On a critical success, it takes no damage.
The damage can’t reduce the target’s health below 1. If the target fails the saving throw, its maximum health is reduced for 1 hour by an amount equal to the necrotic damage it took. Any effect that removes a disease allows a creature’s maximum health to return to normal before that time passes.
Augment
You can increase the damage by 3d10 for each additional mana expended.
As an action, you lacerate a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters. The creature must make a Fortitude saving throw.
On a failure, it loses 4d6 health and is bleeding 3.
On a critical failure, it loses twice as much health and is bleeding 6.
On a success, it loses half as much health and is bleeding 1.
On a critical success, it loses no health.
Augment
You can increase the health lost by 4d6 and the bleeding level by 3 for each additional mana expended.
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As an action, a shimmering field appears and surrounds a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters, granting it a +2 bonus to Defense for the duration.
Augment
You can target one additional creature for each additional mana expended, though the spell then must be cast as two actions. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
