Sorcery: Banestorm Spells

Sorcery: Banestorm Spells

I've never played Banestorm, but the supplement has three new setting-specific Gate spells. Let's convert them for the completeness' sake. Detect Banestorm confirms or denies banestorm activity. Identify Newcomer tells whether the subject was carried over to this world by a banestorm recently or not. Seek Banestorm tells the caster direction and distance to the nearest banestorm.
