Rank Ten
Shadow Walking (credit: Scott, Pete)
Casting time: 5 rounds
Range: Self
Duration: varies with distance
MP cost: 6MP
Description:
This spell allows the caster to open a personal wormhole between where they are at and where they wish to go up to 100m away. The amount of time to traverse from the starting to the ending spot is one round per meter traveled, should the GM judge the travel time important.
The caster must make a Strength roll to carry someone else. Unwilling companions may stay in their original location with a successful resist roll (ESS x3).
Upon arrival at the destination, any traps in the area will be set off, injuring or killing the caster. Also, any physical objects in the destination space of the caster causes up to 2d8 damage (GM call) and forces the caster to instantly return to their starting point.
Should the shadows in the destination area be not deep enough, the spell fails and costs half the magic points.
Close by inhabitants may make a spot hidden at -60% to note caster presence if they hold still. Upon moving, usual stealth rolls apply.
Casting this spell requires silent concentration (no verbal components or gestures); it is possible enter, observe and leave completely in stealth.
Note: as a well-known spell, beings often place random objects about a room (aka “room decor”) to inconvenience unwelcome visitors. If someone knows what they’re doing, they can easily get the maximum of 2d8 damage. Even well placed cloth streamers can be lethal to someone materializing within them. (”So now you have cloth in your brain.”)
Note2: the spells “phase” and “ghost form” work well to avoid some of the pitfalls with this spell (if the caster has the MP to cast those spells then keep them going long enough to arrive at their destination).
Awaken Water Elemental (spell template) [Credit: Freddy, Scott]
Casting time: 1 hour
Range: Appears adjacent to you, then may move up to 100m away
Duration: Until it dies or you dismiss it
MP cost: 12mp
To cast this spell, you must have some of the element available to serve as a material component. As long as the spell is active, you cannot regain the MP you spent to cast it. If you and the elemental are more than 100m apart, the spell ends as if you had dismissed it. The caster always has a rough idea ("over that way") where the elemental is.

Maneuver%; Combat move: 30%; 3/10m Through its native element, 60%; 6/20m

Rank Ten
Shadow Walking (credit: Scott, Pete)
Casting time: 5 rounds
Range: Self
Duration: varies with distance
MP cost: 6MP
Description:
This spell allows the caster to open a personal wormhole between where they are at and where they wish to go up to 100m away. The amount of time to traverse from the starting to the ending spot is one round per meter traveled, should the GM judge the travel time important.
The caster must make a Strength roll to carry someone else. Unwilling companions may stay in their original location with a successful resist roll (ESS x3).
Upon arrival at the destination, any traps in the area will be set off, injuring or killing the caster. Also, any physical objects in the destination space of the caster causes up to 2d8 damage (GM call) and forces the caster to instantly return to their starting point.
Should the shadows in the destination area be not deep enough, the spell fails and costs half the magic points.
Close by inhabitants may make a spot hidden at -60% to note caster presence if they hold still. Upon moving, usual stealth rolls apply.
Casting this spell requires silent concentration (no verbal components or gestures); it is possible enter, observe and leave completely in stealth.
Note: as a well-known spell, beings often place random objects about a room (aka “room decor”) to inconvenience unwelcome visitors. If someone knows what they’re doing, they can easily get the maximum of 2d8 damage. Even well placed cloth streamers can be lethal to someone materializing within them. (”So now you have cloth in your brain.”)
Note2: the spells “phase” and “ghost form” work well to avoid some of the pitfalls with this spell (if the caster has the MP to cast those spells then keep them going long enough to arrive at their destination).

If you and the elemental are more than 100m apart, the spell ends as if you had dismissed it. The caster always has a rough idea ("over that way") where the elemental is.
