Sorcery: Light & Darkness Spells IV

Sorcery: Light & Darkness Spells IV

The College of Light & Darkness has only a few spells left unconverted. Let's fix that. Flash is an area blinding attack. Blur makes the subject harder to see and target. Wall of Light blocks vision and does nothing else. Hide makes the subject harder to find, if he stands still. Sunlight and Continual Sunlight create pillars of sunlight that extend skyward. Mage Light and Continual Mage Light create light sources that can only be detected by people with Magery or Sorcerous Empowerment.

Blur

Keywords: Buff.

Full Cost: 24 points.

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

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 3 minutes.

The subject and all of his carried equipment become blurred for the duration of the spell. This gives a -3 penalty to Vision rolls to see the subject with normal vision and -3 penalty to attacks against the subject that rely on normal vision. Infravision is not fooled by this spell.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Blur, +120%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [24]. Note: “Blur” is Obscure 3 (Vision; Defensive, +50%; Magical, -10%; No Area of Effect, -50%; Stealthy, +100%) [12].

   

Continual Mage Light

Keywords: Buff.

Full Cost: 31 points.

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

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 2d days.

When cast on a small object (up to fist-sized or 1 pound) or a small part of a larger object, makes that object glow with white light equivalent to a torch. However, the illumination that it provides is only perceptible to mages, magical creatures, and those under the influence of Mage Sight. The light lasts for 2d days (the GM rolls in secret).

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Continual Mage Light, +10%; Extended Duration, 30,000x, +180%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [31].

Continual Sunlight

Keywords: None.

Full Cost: 38 points.

Casting Roll: IQ.

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 2d days.

You can summon a pillar of light equivalent to full daylight; you may make this light manifest anywhere within 100 yards. The area extends skyward, stopping only when it hits some sort of ceiling. The light is bright enough to eliminate all darkness penalties in a 10-yard radius.

Statistics: Create Visible Light 1 (Accessibility, Limited to lighting a 10-yard, -40%; Cosmic, Extends skyward, +50%; Extended Duration on Persistent, 30,000x, +180%; Magical, -10%; Persistent, +40%; Ranged, +40%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 1, +20%) [38].

  

Flash

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

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 5 seconds.

You cause a blinding flash to appear in the area. Each creature in the area resists with its HT, and is blinded for 5 seconds on a failed resistance roll. Creatures with Protected Vision resist at +5.

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

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 30 minutes.

This spell makes the subject harder to find. A Vision roll is necessary to see a subject in plain sight; Vision rolls to detect a subject already hidden are at -1 per level of this spell. These effects only apply while the subject remains still, but if he moves and then stops moving before the spell expires, the effects resume.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Hide, +30%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [19].
