I cannot know what to think of it without details like range, duration, and PPE cost. write it out as a proper spell before asking opinions.

Darkons Parental Response Magic

you said a bad word!
level, Duration, and ppe as per the mute spell

PPE cost is way too low for effect, level, and duration; you'd be looking at closer to 250 for a reduction of IQ by half for 30 minutes/level. Personally, I prefer to give flat penalties to ratio-based reductions (say, a -10, with a minimum of 1, rather than a -50%), but that's a design preference.

Agreed. I like the penalties to reduction method. I may have to jot that down.

ok 250 it is!

Is there a Mary Poppins-style Juviemancer Faerie-Nanny in the offing? This is a good start.

Artificial Intelligence
Level 4

....snip

Shouldn't this be closer to Level Nine then four? Sence using the orgianl L9 "frined in the head" spell as the basis, the Base level for the new spell should be 10, using the megaversal rules for spell creation in Through the Glass Darkly.
*increaced the base duration
*decreasced the range
*limited the possible duration
* the IQ limits have only a lower limit defined
*gave it skills

3 enhancments of the power and 2 reduction of the power.

So the genral base level should still be 11 with a PPE cost of 108

But one of the reductions in power was a range redeuction which gets a recudce PPE by half modifiyer also.
So Level 10, costing 54 PPE would be the two things that changed if you had followed the spell creation rules.

question: Why the change from the ME to the PE? Why not just go with months per level?

Here are a couple of spell variations created using the rules in Through the Glass Darkly.

Defensive Shield: 8th level
Range: Self or one other by touch
Duration: 3 minutes/level
Saving Throw: None
PPE: 40

Encases the target in a form-fitting invisible magic field. It has 30 MDC per level of the caster, takes 1/2 damage from all forms of energy attack, and if destroyed will disappear in a flash of light, absorbing any extra damage.


Lightning Blast: 7th level
Range: 300ft, line of sight
Duration: Instant
Damage: 1d6 MD/level
Saving Throw: None
PPE: 20

This spell creates a blast of lightning which can be directed at any target up to 300 feet away. The lightning blast shoots from the casters hands on completion of the spell, hitting the desired target, which must be within the casters line of sight.

It would help if I haad more knowledge of all the types of magic...
Working from the Rifts bok of magic, the PF2 main book and HU2 and Nightbane stuff to model spells after is helpful, but I am not sure of all the types of magic and what spells have already been done.
I have been compiling powers for the new Heroes Unlimited powers wiki Nimmy set up and bveen unable to get back to working on the Money Mage spells.

Here are some combat magic (Rifts Mercinary Adventures) that I've been working on for my games. Forgive the names, as they are just first drafts.

Showering Strike
Spell Level: 4th Level
Range: Varies, range is standard for weapon being thrown.
Duration: Instant
Damage: Normal for weapon used; an S.D.C. weapon will have duplicates that are S.D.C., a M.D. weapon will have duplicates that inflict M.D., silver weapons will have duplicates that are silver, etc.
Saving Throw: None, attack must be dodged (parrying is not possible due to the large amount of projectiles).
Cost: 8 P.P.E.
Using this spell the caster is able to charge a thrown weapon with mystic energy, causing several duplicates (amount depends on the spell caster’s level of experience) to appear in mid-flight. The spell creates one duplicate, plus one for every other level of experience beyond first level. The act of casting the spell and throwing the object counts as one action, and the spell caster must roll to strike as normal; the original and its duplicates count as a volley, thus only one roll to strike is required. This spell can only be used in conjunction with smaller thrown weapons such as knives, shurikens, throwing irons, etc., and not with larger thrown objects such as spears and javelins, nor with explosives such as grenades or fusion blocks. Note: The duplicates created by this spell fade from existence shortly after hitting a target and are not permanent (though the damage they cause will remain). Also note that the Conjurer can cast this spell at ½ the listed P.P.E. cost.


Thrown Detonation
Spell Level: 3rd Level
Range: Varies, range is standard for weapon being thrown.
Duration: One melee per level of experience, or until weapon is thrown; which ever comes first.
Damage: 3d6 M.D., note that the weapon being thrown is completely consumed in the explosion (whether it is made of S.D.C. or M.D.C. material), unless indestructible such as a Rune Weapon or other magical construct.
Saving Thrown: None, but may be dodged or parried (though due to the explosion parrying weapons take ½ damage).
Cost: 8 P.P.E.
Using this spell the caster is able to charge a thrown object, plus one additional thrown weapon per level of experience, to explode on impact. The explosion is very limited, less than one foot, but very destructive. This spell can only be used in conjunction with actual thrown weapons, it can not be used with objects just picked up from the ground, such a sticks or rocks (though sling bullets, which are polished and shaped stones or metal are acceptable). Like the Showering Strike spell (see above), this spell may only be used with smaller thrown weapons such as knives and shurikens, etc., and is not compatible with larger throwing weapons such as spears and javelins. It can not be used with explosives such as grenades or fusion blocks.

Spider Climb
Spell Level: 6th Level
Range: Self
Duration: One melee per level of experience.
Saving Throw: None.
Cost: 10 P.P.E.
While the spell is named Spider Climb the caster does not actually have to climb like a spider, instead the spell allows the caster to walk and run up vertical and inverted surfaces at half their normal SPD attribute. Weight limit is the caster’s weight, plus 10 lbs per level of experience. Fighting can be preformed as normal, though any attacks that cause both of the caster’s feet to leave the surface being fought on, such as leap attacks, caused the caster to immediately be under the affects of normal gravity with potentially deadly results depending on his/her distance from the ground at the time.

Dragon Leap
Spell Level: 2nd Level
Range: Self, or others by touch.
Duration: One minute per level of experience.
Saving Throw: None
Cost: 6 P.P.E., or 15 when cast on another.
This spell allows the caster to leap 12 feet across, plus two feet per level of experience, and eight feet high, plus two feet per level of experience, from a standing still position. Distances are doubled with only a slight running start. There is no chance of injury to the caster due to muscle and joint strain as the magic provides the power necessary for the leaping distances and absorbs some of the impact of landing. The spell derives its name from the fact that those under the affects of this spell appear to almost glide in mid-leap, similar to the leap of many winged dragons. Note: While there is no danger of injury from the actual act of leaping and landing on normal surfaces, this may not always be the case. Depending on the surface being landed on the GM may require an Acrobatics or Gymnastics roll for a safe landing, this should only applies when landing on slippery surfaces (such as ice or slime), or particularly small and narrow areas with a risk of falling if footing is loss. GM’s use your discretion; remember that in most cases the use of this spell is perfectly safe, but we all know that some PCs can be exceptionally reckless, wild, and love to push the boundaries.

I should be posting more within the next couple days now I am on a break from posting to the powers wiki, at least for a while.

Nimmy has added an area to the wiki for spells as well. Anyone wishing to may post spells from here to the wiki.

Wow...the archives expand!

Money Magic
Level Eight

Commune With Bankers
Range: Self; location "sent" to must be within 200 feet
Duration: 5 minutes per level
Saving Throw: None
PPE cost: 25
This spell allows the mage's presence to be felt and noticed as if he were present on big money deals and rich parties as if here were there. This allows him to bypass security to enter rooms he would not otherwise be able to gain access to, or attend meetings while in bed. It enables him to interact as if he was there but not otherwise influence them in any way.

Capitalism
Range: 300 feet
Duration: The spell lasts 3 minutes, but the results last 6 months or longer.
Saving Throw: 12 or better vs. Mind Control
PPE cost: 30
This powerful magic influences those of a different economic system to buy into capitalism and begin trade so as to begin monetary exchange.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Money Magic
Level Nine

Greed Curse
Range: Touch
Duration: 24 hours per level
Saving Throw: Standard
PPE cost: 50
This magic instills an unreasoning desire for money. The greed is so intense that the victim of the spell will be moved to steal money he sees or gamble uncontrollably. The need for money will be so distracting that they will suffer -2 to all combat moves (unless the fight is over money, in which case they will gain +2 to initiative and all combat moves).

Summon Nightmare Steed (13th Level)
...snip

This reminded me of one of the spells I haven't posted, I got the idea while playing in one of Lady_CS's games...that had a nightmare in it.

I was going to make a superior vertion but never got around to it


5) Eyes of the NightMare (minor)--
Range: self/touch
PPE: 30
Duration: 1 min./L,
Saving Throw: HF 18 when looked at eye to eye.
This spell was developed bye a mage of unknown origin, some say from another world entirely. She did make this spell to ward off attackers. This spell makes the eyes of the mage to take on aspects of a true nightmare's bringing the fears of the seer to their minds. The seer must be able to see the mages eyes directly and be with in 30' of the mage to be affected. Those who fail the save will suffer the normal effects of failing an HF . Those who make the save will only suffer -2 all combat rolls and -5% skills for 1d4 melees, even then they will not want to fight the mage.
For this spell to take its full effect the mage must have seen a true nightmare or has been taught by a mage who has the spell in its full effectiveness, or the spell only works as a fear spell HF:16 centered on the mage, line of sight of his eyes.
Note: those viewing the mage through a video monitor, like from inside an enclosed vehicle or bionic eyes, are not affected by this spell.



Gadrin, I got a varient of a mirror magic spell for you....



10) HIdden Reflection: Greater (invocation)-- Self and other by touch (30 self only/100) 1 hr./L, none
Much like the Hidden Reflection (lesser) spell this lets the mage step into a mirror to hide in the reflection's background, being able to see and hear everything that happens in front of it as if hearing/seeing it from an open window. The major difference, is that the mage can take someone along with him into the mirror, he can even reach out of a mirror to take a person into the mirror he was already in. While in the mirror each person can exit the mirror at any time they wish to if they are not connected in any why. But, if one person is holding onto the other then both have to want to exit the mirror for them to exit, once all people are out of the mirror the spell ends, leaving no trace of anyone having used the mirror as a hiding place, even to a person who is able to object read.
If the mage goes in alone, then any reflective surface can be used as a mirror, but can only see out the side of the surface he came in on. (i.e.: if using a plane of glass of a window as the mirror and standing on the outside of the window, he would only be able to the outside side of the window.
Having the mirror shattered, then those with in the mirror sense of reality is shattered. Roll on the following table if the mirror is shattered.
Effects Table

Return to the physical world is unlikely (20%) with out a Guide. They will parish of hunger and thirst in 4d4 days unless they can convince a denizen of the astral plane to take them in (at what price?). If their bodies die in the astral plane the there is a 40% chance of becoming an astral being. (With no physical body they will have to spend the rest of their days in the astral plane.)
16-37 Trapped in a shard of the mirror for what seams like days, but is only 3d4 hours. Finally reappearing whole and unscathed. Roll on the after affects table.
38-44 Trapped in the Mirror Wall for an hour and falls through the mirror they are standing on, ending up somewhere on the same world unless they have moved to a mirror nearby to somewhere they know.
45-60 White noise and swirling images that seam to last forever, feeling as if being ripped apart. Then suddenly standing themselves in front of the shattered mirror 4d4 min. later. roll on the after effects table
61-80 After an undefinable time of having their mind torn apart. The person will appear shaken and with suffer from Vertigo for 1d4 days, and unable to cast any magic spells for 2d4 days.
81-00 Spat out of the mirror with a thud the instant the mirror is shattered! Suffers 2d6 damage and looses initiative for the first melee round, but is otherwise okay.
After Effects Table
01-15 Shaken but okay. Appears standing in front of the shattered mirror.
16-35 Afraid of mirrors for 2d4+4 days.
36-50 Is afflicted with sever nausea for 1d20 hours.

Note: that when the time elapses the mage, and companion if any, are forced out of the mirror with out an ill affects. When two people are in the same mirror using the same spell, if the mirror is shattered, roll only once on the Effects table, but separately on the Side Effects Table.

Splatter of Fury

“Xiticix in the room? No problem...lemme just get today’s copy of the Lazlo Inquirer.”

This is an empowerment spell that turns a rolled-up piece of newpaper/newsprint into a dangerous, indeed lethal to some, melee weapon. Requires a rolled up newspaper or newsletter(or a roll of paper towel will do in a pinch)...nothing else will work. In combat, the rolled up paper takes on a glowing appearance that some insectoid entities find oddly alluring.
Spell Level: 9
Range: One rolled-up newspaper by touch
Duration: 2 melee rounds(30 seconds) per level of spell caster
Effect: Makes a rolled-up piece of newspaper/newprint into a megadamage melee weapon that does 1d6 MD +any P.S. damage from the wielder(if not supernaturally strong, apply SDCbonus as MD, but at HALF)
Does STUN damage to canines and vulpine lifeforms; 30% chance of rocking canine beings(including werewolves) back on their heels/haunches and stunning them(lose initiative and HALF bonuses to strike, parry, and dodge for 1d4 melees)
Does DOUBLE damage to insectoid lifeforms, and on a Natural 18 -20, CRITICAL damage. There;s also a chance(roll versus magic) that insects will be drawn or paralyzed by the sight of the glowing swatter, and are -2 to dodge for each melee they fail their save.
Saving Throw: None
PPE Cost: 45

70% on a hit...thats what I'd say.

Yeah, 5th or 6th.

So, change the Anvil spell to 5th level. Should I keep the 8 PPE cost same?

I would use save vs coma/death just for knock out purpose or roll a 1d20 and if roll natural 19 or 20, creature is knockout like knockout punch.

So these changes good?

I'm going to alter these so they fit better.

Enthralled (3rd Level Invocation)

To low in level and PPE. look @ the bench-mark spells of Fireball for fire orb and that of fear, trance, and dominate for Enthralled.

Enthralled seams to me to be an Awe Factor spell which means the observers need to roll vs AF not magic. Another two items I would like you to look at are the hero powers horror factor(minor) and Devine Aura (major). Both are in the HU2 Main book.

drewkitty ~..~ wrote:To low in level and PPE. look @ the bench-mark spells of Fireball for fire orb and that of fear, trance, and dominate for Enthralled.

Fire ball isn't really a benchmark spell; it's very underpowered for its level and cost. Fire Bolt, on the other hand, works as a benchmark.

Evil Psychologist wrote:What do you guys think about my Rotweave spell (see previous page)? I was thinking of raising the P.P.E. cost, but the material components seem to offset that quite a bit.. the spell takes some planning because most people won't have a pile of corpses handy at all times.

Other then it being a gross nero spell, I haden't really looked at it. Evil is not cool so I don't use nerco magic.

I would raise the PPE to 25 and leave the rest as is.

Evil Psychologist wrote:Thanks for the advice, you wussies. 25 P.P.E. it is. Evil is very cool. Without evil we'd be playing a game about who earns the most sunshine in the bunny rabbit race to Chuckleberry Glen, so don't forget that.

I did say that there was not evil NPCs in my games. But Evil is relegated to NPC positions because they are so uncool.
EVIL is a perversion, and is no cool about it, it is evil. If you think evil is cool then you're believing in an oxymoron.

Good is cool. and there is no oxymoronity about it.

Evil Psychologist wrote:Sunshine Bunny Race
11th level Invocation

Range: 100 foot radius per level of the spell caster.
Duration: 1 minute per level of the spell caster.
Saving Throw: Special/Cute. Any Horror Factors convert into Cute Factor. Save vs. your own Cute Factor or become totally adorable for duration of spell.
P.P.E. One-Hundred Fifty.

The Sunshine Bunny Race invocation summons the ambient goodwill and better angels of each nature to envelop a circular radius around the spell caster. Within this radius, all alignments become principled and completely pacifist without a save. No hostile action may be taken by any party, including the spell caster (no save). All targets must save vs. magic or polymorph into 3 foot tall anime rabbits of many colors. These rabbits will be compelled to race around the perimeter of the circle centered upon the caster.

The radius of the spell will be further enveloped in daylight similar to a Globe of Daylight spell. This daylight will harm vampires or other creatures vulnerable to it unless they turn into cute anime rabbits. For each lap an anime rabbit runs around the caster, he earns one sunshine point. The winning rabbit receives 1 slice of Grandma's homemade peach cobbler pie for each sunshine point he has accumulated at the end of the race.

Sounds like a good spell to have in a mexico campaign. Even if the vamp doesn't make his save, he will end up having a obsession to see as much sunlight as he can.

"Cute" spell. . Bunnies, who doesn't like bunnies. Although I would have picked "Bugs Bunny" like. Old school, die-hard Looney Tunes fan.

I think there can never be enough silly and cute spells. Hopefully I can get back to posting spells in this thread soon.

Stone Gargoyle wrote:I think there can never be enough silly and cute spells. Hopefully I can get back to posting spells in this thread soon.

It's the cute and silly spells that do things like provide you with snacks when you need them, bolster your morale when you need it, and distract the bad guys when the chips are down...Fear and respect cute and silly spells, because they're unpredictable..

$h!t Magnent
Range: 10'/L
duration: 15 sec per level
Saving Throw: standard for others
PPE: 50
This spell makes those about the target of the spell, the target of their agression, even if there was someone else causes that agression. Area of affect for others focusing on the target is 60'.

If there is something already bad going to happen it's going to happen to the target of the spell.

Nice

Used quite often by mages at bars and truck stops, and in urban room to room fighting...

Some Chi magic

Body Boost or Kokyu-han
Level: 7
Range: Self Only
Duration: one melee round per level
Saving Throw: N/A
PPE:15
Positive Chi: 1+
This Chi magic spell was developed by a chi mage that wanted a longer lasting boost then what body chi provided. Like the chi power, this spell can only raise the ME, MA, PS, PP, and speed of the mage. With each point of Positive Chi the mage can raise one attribute by three points for the duration of the spell. Multiple Chi+ points can be used to raise more then one stat or to raise the one stat more then just three points. All new attribute rolls are based off the new-temp-attribute scores.
Spell Note: this spell can not be a starting spell and must be gained through game play.


Godly Body Boost or Kokyu-sama
Level: 10
Range: Self Only
Duration: one melee round per level
Saving Throw: N/A
PPE: 30
Positive Chi: 5 and that used to raise the attribute scores.
This Chi magic spell was developed by a chi mage that wanted a more powerful and longer lasting boost then what body chi provided. Like the chi power, this spell can only raise the ME, MA, PS, PP, and speed of the mage. the base PPE and Chi requirements just raise the char's physical attributes scores to be super natural. With each point of Positive Chi the mage can raise one attribute by one point for the duration of the spell. Multiple Chi+ points can be used to raise more then one stat or to raise the one stat more then just the one point. All new attribute rolls are based off the new-temp-attribute scores.
Spell Note: this spell can not be a starting spell and must be gained through game play.

Been a while since Doom's Temporal Spells have seen the light of day so here they are again.

Null Time Barrier

Range: 10’ per level of experience
Duration: 10 minutes per level of experience
Saving Throw: Not Applicable
P.P.E.: 100
Level: Considered a Level 11 spell

The Null Time Barrier creates an area of frozen time for the duration of the spell. The area covers a maximum size of a 10-foot cube per level to as little as a 1-foot cube. The size is determined by the caster upon completion of the spell and once set cannot be altered.
The barrier will freeze anything that fully enters the area of effect stopping it dead in space/time. The magic is such that any energy weapons fired into the area are instantly negated and when the spell wares off the momentum of any objects in the area (including projectiles) will be lost and fall harmlessly to the ground. Of course any explosive devices will then detonate as normal (on impact with the ground or when the timer runs out).
Any individuals caught in the barrier will feel disoriented when the effect wares of and if walking or running when entering will drop to their knees and be at half bonuses and attacks for one melee round.
This spell is often used to thwart pursuers and sometimes if the caster is feeling malicious he may toss grenades into the area for a nasty surprise when the duration elapses.
A mage using Time Slip can pass through this barrier like it was not even there.



Time Bomb

Range: Touch/Thrown
Damage: 1D4X10 plus 5 per level
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Not Applicable
P.P.E.: 40
Level: Considered a Level 9 spell

This spell is somewhat similar to the Annihilate spell. Only it is nowhere near as powerful and the orb is larger (the size of a bowling ball) and has a few different abilities.
The spell brings a tiny amount of anti-matter from another dimension and encases it in a magical orb. This orb can then be (by touch) set by the mage who created it to explode after a given time has elapsed. This time can be a maximum of one hour per level of experience to as little as a few seconds so the bomb can be used as a grenade. The time can be set or reset at any time by touch but only the caster can reset it. The bomb its self weighs about 5 pounds and the P.S. of the caster determines range.
The orb is sticky and will hold fast to any object it touches so the orb cannot be rolled into a room since it will stick to the floor on first contact. The only way to remove a stuck orb is to cut whatever it is stuck to off or a mage in Time Slip can move it. Only another Temporal Raider, Wizard or Warrior can touch a bomb normally and not stick. Therefore they can move a bomb cast by someone else but not change its time of detonation.



Youth Golem

Range: Unlimited
Duration: Permanent until destroyed
Saving Throw: Standard
P.P.E.: 8000 Plus 1000 if the mage does not himself make the statue. (Half for Temporal Wizards and Warriors)
Level: Spell of Legend

When asked about the existence of this spell Temporal Raiders will scoff and insist that this spell does not exist. After all they will say if there were such a Temporal Spell we would know it. But his spell does exist. It is the product of a Human Temporal Wizard whose name has been lost in the sands of time.
The legends speak of a spell in which the caster creates a great work of art, a painting or a sculpture, and infuses it with the ability to age for him so that the wizard will remain, as long as the artwork remains intact, forever youthful.
The reality of this spell is that it must be cast into a life size perfect statue of the caster. The statue is powered by the life force of a powerful supernatural creature that is bound to the statue and ages for him. The perfect creatures are elementals and of them the earth elemental is preferred.
The statue its self will have 1000 MDC and if powered by an earth elemental will be able to defend its self if attacked. Other then this act of self preservation the statue is for all intents and purposes just a statue and cannot act in any way and if not powered by an earth elemental cannot even do that.
If the statue is destroyed the years are instantly added to the caster and if they are more then the natural life span of his species will kill him instantly. As such these statues are usually well hidden and well guarded.
The magic of the statue will continue even if dimensional distances separate the mage and it.
A side effect of this magic is that the caster will always take on a personality trait of the being trapped in the statue. A fire elemental will give the mage a fiery temper for example.



Temporal Invulnerability

Range: Touch or 10’ per level (line of sight)
Duration: Five minutes plus one pre level of the caster
Saving Throw: Not Applicable
Limitations: One pound (.5 kg) per level of experience
P.P.E.: 25
Level: Considered a level seven spell

Temporal Invulnerability can make one small object for the duration of the spell impervious to all forms of damage. Objects under the influence of this spell cannot be bent, broken, burnt or harmed in any way but can be moved. A piece of paper cannot be crumpled. A glass cannot be shattered.
Temporal Invulnerability works by taking the object and effectively freezing it in time. The object will feel cold to the touch and the only way for anyone to interact fully with the object while the spell is in effect is through the use of the spell Time Slip.
The spell can be canceled at any time by the caster.



Temporal Reversal

Range: Others by touch only
Duration: Permanent (Reversal five minutes per level)
Saving Throw: Not Applicable
P.P.E.: 750 (Double for non-temporal O.C.C.s)
Level: Considered a fifteenth level spell

Temporal Reversal or Temporal Regeneration is the only know temporal healing magic in existence. This spell is both rare and powerful. It can even restore life to the recently deceased. It is one of the only known spells in the Megaverse that can revive and fully restore a recently slain individual who has lost major and vital portions of their body such as having the torso or head vaporized.
The spell works by reversing the flow of time on the body causing what looks like instant regeneration of even the most catastrophic wounds. The mage who is casting the spell must concentrate during the entire process of the reversal. If the person’s wounds to be healed were inflicted 15 minutes ago the mage must concentrate 15 minutes for the restoration to progress back that far. If the concentration is interrupted the reversal is stopped at that point with the P.P.E. spent and lost.



Chronometric Bolts

Range: 250 feet per level of experience
Duration: One melee per level of experience
Damage: 2D6 +1 M.D. per level of experience
Saving Throw: Dodge
P.P.E.: 35
Level: Considered a level eight spell

The spell allows the caster to summon forth bolts of pure temporal energy for the duration of the spell. The bolts are purple and have the same consistency as plasma and they are fired from the palms of the hand. Each blast counts as one melee attack/action and is limited by the character’s total number of attacks.
As a side effect of this spell any character struck and survives, even if in body or power armor will need to save versus magic or have their hair (if their species has hair) turned white. This white hair is permanent but will fall out normally and is replaced by hair of the characters normal color gradually over a few months.



Time warp: Rewind

Range: Self only
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Not applicable
P.P.E.: Special entire P.P.E. base. 150 minimum to avoid permanent losses or 50 P.P.E. minimum and a loss of 1 P.E. and 10 P.P.E points permanently
Level: Considered a 12th level spell

Time warp: rewind is a spell of last resort that allows a second chance to perform an action that the caster deems critical. Since it burns all the remaining P.P.E. of the caster only one attempt can be made and can leave the caster nearly defenseless.
The effect of this spell is to place the caster one melee round in to the past (to the beginning of the last round). The caster will have full knowledge of the intended actions of all involved and will have the initiative. Once the caster does something that he did not do the original time, time becomes fluid again and the caster knows nothing of the actions of others.



Temporal Displacement

Range: Self only
Duration: One melee plus one per every 3 levels of the caster
Saving Throw: Not applicable
P.P.E.: 60
Level: Considered a 10th level spell

Temporal displacement puts the image seen of the caster one second into the past. Out of combat this spell does little more than make the caster look like he is in a poorly dubbed movie. In combat this spell is devastating. Granting the caster a +8 bonus to strike, parry, dodge and initiative. The spell is equally effective against electronic means of detection as normal sight. Only the psi power of Presence Sense will have any hope of detecting the casters true position and even then it only cuts the bonuses to S/P/D but not initiative by half.



Stipulation

Range: Self
Duration: 1 Year per level of experience or until activated and cannot be canceled
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E.: 50 plus linked spells and 5 P.P.E. per linked spell upon activation
Level: 8

This ritual spell is an add on spell that when cast can be linked to any spell that affects the caster and can be activated when the trigger that was decided upon when the spell is first cast happens. The trigger for the spell is only limited by the imagination of the caster. It can be set for when the mage is attacked, when the mage snaps his fingers, or when some one targets him/her with a gun. Virtually anything. A mage with the psi power sixth sense can set the trigger to go off when he/she senses danger if they want. The mage my cast one Stipulation at level one and gains a additional casting at levels 5,10 and 15. The amounts of linked spells are one at first level and one more at levels 4,8,12 and 15.
For example a 1st level mage can have on active Stipulation with one spell set to activate. A 5th level mage can have two active Stipulations which each can activate two spells.

That light green text is very difficult to read.

This spell makes those about the target of the spell, the target of their agression, even if there was someone else causes that agression. Area of affect for others focusing on the target is 60'.

What level spell was this?

Not when you have a black background like all the cool kids.

The first two guesses would be,
Level Have to Fast Talk your GM.
or
Level Unatainium

Other wise it would be about level 7 or 9.
Side note: the target does make the save, its the one how want the fight who make the save.

]Null Time Barrier

Range: 10’ per level of experience
Duration: 10 minutes per level of experience
Saving Throw: Not Applicable
P.P.E.: 100
Level: Considered a Level 11 spell

The Null Time Barrier creates an area of frozen time for the duration of the spell. The area covers a maximum size of a 10-foot cube per level to as little as a 1-foot cube. The size is determined by the caster upon completion of the spell and once set cannot be altered.
The barrier will freeze anything that fully enters the area of effect stopping it dead in space/time. The magic is such that any energy weapons fired into the area are instantly negated and when the spell wares off the momentum of any objects in the area (including projectiles) will be lost and fall harmlessly to the ground. Of course any explosive devices will then detonate as normal (on impact with the ground or when the timer runs out).
Any individuals caught in the barrier will feel disoriented when the effect wares of and if walking or running when entering will drop to their knees and be at half bonuses and attacks for one melee round.
This spell is often used to thwart pursuers and sometimes if the caster is feeling malicious he may toss grenades into the area for a nasty surprise when the duration elapses.
A mage using Time Slip can pass through this barrier like it was not even there.

...snip

What a time stopped area would look and act like. It would look like an area of absolute darkness. It would be absolutely hard and nothing could enter it, being stopped by the non-time flow. however, all the radiant energy shot at it stops at the surface of the time-stop area. The bad part of a time stop is that at the end of the time stop, all the radiant energy that was fired at it is, in an instant, set back into a time flow going the direction it was going. Radiant energy would include all lasers, microwaves and the heat flares, from Plasma weapons, explosions, normal fires... and even magic like a fireball or lightning blast (not call lighting) or any sort of blast of magical energy that has to travel through the time-stop area.
Any and all Kinetic attacks against the time stop area will bounce off in some form. this includes all ancient weapons, firearms, rail-guns, Ion weapons, the plasma from plasma weapons, and any radiation form that is really a high V mass.

Yeah but this is *MAGIC*

Carpet of Pwnage.
Level 13
Range: 20'
Duration: 5 min.per level
Saving Throw: Standard
PPE: 70
This spell causes all the stuff with-in range of the caster to appear desierable and owned by the mage. If a passerbyer fails his/her saving throw is drawn to something near the mage and makes the mage an off on the item. If the deals go down quikly an unscupulus mage could sell out a vender's stall while the vendor makes a restroom break.

Thanks to Evil Psychologist for sparking the idea.
