Sorcery: More Body of (Element) Spells

Sorcery: More Body of (Element) Spells

In the last post I have converted the primary four elemental Body of (Element) spells. But there are some more. Body of Leaves and Body of Slime I already have converted in this post. Body of Wind ended up being ridiculously expensive.

Body of Ice

Keywords: Buff.

Full Cost: 121 points.

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

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 30 minutes.

The subject gains the Body of Ice meta-trait; see the footnote below for details. Clothing and gear weighing no more than his BL change with him. He cannot shift back on his own; he must wait for the spell to expire or be dispelled. (This does not change if the sorcerer is the subject.)

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Body of Ice, +1,050%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [121]. Notes: “Body of Ice” is Alternate Form (Body of Ice*; Can Carry Objects, No Encumbrance, +10%; Magical, -10%) [105]. If turned into a “usually on” magical item (GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery, pp. 27-28), the wearer can shift at will but it takes 10 seconds to do so.

* A meta-trait from p. 262 of GURPS Basic Set: Doesn’t Breathe [20]; DR 3 [15]; Immunity to Metabolic Hazards [30]; Injury Tolerance (Homogenous, No Blood) [45]; Pressure Support 3 [15]; Sealed [15]; Slippery 3 [6]; Terrain Adaptation (Ice) [5]; Vacuum Support [5]; Fragile (Brittle) [-15]; Vulnerability (Heat/fire attacks, x2) [-30]; and Weakness (Intense normal heat; 1d/minute; Variable, -40%) [-12]. 99 points.

Body of Shadow

Keywords: Resisted (HT).

Full Cost: 28 points.

Casting Roll: Will.

Range: Unlimited.

Duration: 3 minutes.

The subject becomes a two-dimensional shadow. This lets him slip along walls and floors – and through the thinnest cracks (anything wide enough to fit his shoulders through) – at his usual ground Move. He can also defy gravity, creeping up walls and across ceilings at half Move.

Physical attacks do half damage to the subject in this form. Energy attacks do normal damage, except for light-based attacks, which do 50% extra damage. Magic, psi, and other purely mental abilities affect the subject normally.

The subject is subject to a few major restrictions while in this form. He cannot walk through three-dimensional space; he must slide along an object. Furthermore, he cannot perform any purely physical attacks or actions, and he cannot carry ordinary items or affect them in any way. He can use magic, psi, and similar abilities, however.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Disadvantage, Shadow Form, +20%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Malediction 2, +150%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, ‑15%) [28].

Body of Wind

The subject gains the Body of Wind meta-trait; see the footnote below for details. Clothing and gear weighing no more than his BL change with him. He cannot shift back on his own; he must wait for the spell to expire or be dispelled. (This does not change if the sorcerer is the subject.)

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Body of Wind, +2,920%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [308].

* A new meta-trait: ST+6 [60]; +10 HP [20]; Doesn’t Breathe [20]; Flight (Lighter Than Air, -10%) [36]; Immunity to Metabolic Hazards [30]; Injury Tolerance (Diffuse) [100]; No Legs (Aerial) [0]; No Fine Manipulators [-30]; Storm** [71]; and Taboo Trait (Fixed ST) [0]. 307 points.

** “Storm” is Crushing Attack 4d (Always On, -20%; Aura, +80%; Area Effect, 2 yards, +50%; Double Knockback, +20%; Emanation, -20%; Environmental, Air, -5%; Link, +10%; Magical, -10%; Melee Attack, Reach C, -30%; No Blunt Trauma, -20%; No Wounding, -50%) [21] + Enhanced Dodge 2 (Affects Others 1, +50%; Area Effect, 2 yards, +50%; Environmental, Air, -5%; Force Field, +20%; Limited, Projectiles, -40%; Magical, -10%) [50]. First, for every creature or unattended object within 2 yards of you, roll 4d as for crushing damage, determine knockback, and then double the distance; however, the victim suffers no actual damage or blunt trauma from the effect – just the consequences of being hurled around. As a special effect, knockback from this moves victims sideways (all clockwise or all anticlockwise; decide when triggering the attack) rather than away from you. Second, Dodge of you and all creatures within 2 yards of you is increased by 2 against projectile attacks.
