Sorcery: Force Spells V

Sorcery: Force Spells V

Here's three protective force spells.

Assassin’s Bane

Keywords: Buff.

Full Cost: 29 points for level 1 + 17 points/additional level.

Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim.

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: Three minutes.

The subject, and all of his carried gear, is protected by an invisible field of pure force, but only from the back. This increases his DR by twice the level of this spell (e.g., Assassin’s Bane 3 adds DR 6), cumulative with that from actual armor against attacks made from the back.

In addition, this spell reflects any damage it stops at the subject’s attacker. The remaining damage affects the subject normally. The attacker doesn’t get an active defense against the first attack the spell reflects back at him, but gets his usual defenses against subsequent reflected attacks. Reflection only works vs. direct hits!

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Assassin’s Bane 1, +170%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [23]. Additional levels add further Assassin’s Bane to the Advantage enhancement [+17]. Notes: Each level of “Assassin’s Bane” is Damage Resistance 2 (Directional, Back, -40%; Force Field, +20%; Magical, -10%; Reflection, +100%) [17].

  

Juggernaut Armor

Keywords: Buff.

Full Cost: 21 points for level 1 + 9 points/additional level.

Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim.

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: Three minutes.

The subject, and all of his carried gear, is protected by an invisible field of pure force, but only from the front. This increases his DR by twice the level of this spell (e.g., Juggernaut Armor 3 adds DR 6), cumulative with that from actual armor against attacks made from the front.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Juggernaut Armor 1, +90%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [21]. Additional levels add further Juggernaut Armor to the Advantage enhancement [+9]. Notes: Each level of “Juggernaut Armor” is Damage Resistance 2 (Directional, Front, -20%; Force Field, +20%; Magical, -10%) [9].

  

Space Adaptation

Keywords: Buff.

Full Cost: 49 points.

Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim.

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: Three minutes.

The subject becomes shielded by an invisible force screen that protects him from the hazards of space. He gains PF 5, Sealed (p. B82), Temperature Tolerance 10 (p. B93), and Vacuum Support (p. B96). Note that this spell does not eliminate the need for air.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Space Adaptation, +370%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [49]. Notes: “Space Adaptation” is Radiation Tolerance 5 (Magical, -10%) [9] + Sealed (Magical, -10%) [14] + Temperature Tolerance 10 (Magical, -10%) [9] + Vacuum Support (Magical, -10%) [5].
