Sorcery: Eternal Undeath

Sorcery: Eternal Undeath

Whew, I was dreading this moment, but the spells ended up being not as hard to convert as I thought. Lich transforms the caster into a lich, and Wraith transforms him into a wraith.

Sorcery: Necromantic Spells VI

Sorcery: Necromantic Spells VI

Even more necromantic spells! Astral Block repels insubstantial beings and prevents ghosts from materializing. Rotting Death is a curse that makes the subject rot from within. Soul Jar transfers the soul into an inanimate object.

Sorcery: Necromantic Spells V

Sorcery: Necromantic Spells V

I'm far from being done with necromancy! Animate Shadow animates the subject's shadow and forces it to attack the subject. Evisceration extracts an organ. Pestilence infects the subject with a disease. Weaken Blood makes bleeding out easier.

Sorcery: Body Control Spells

Sorcery: Body Control Spells

The college of Body Control sure is huge. Hinder lowers the subject's Basic Speed. Rooted Feet reduces the subject's Move to 0. Perfume can be used to alter the subject's smell. Roundabout changes the subject's facing. Stop Spasm stops seizures.

Sorcery: Body Size Changes

Sorcery: Body Size Changes

The following 4 spells are part of the Body Control college. Enlarge and Enlarge Other make the caster or the subject larger, while Shrink and Shrink Other do the opposite.

Monsters/NPCs: Ogres

Monsters/NPCs: Ogres

Two sample monsters using the ogre racial template posted previously. It looks like they deal huge amounts of damage in melee, and when using KYOS their javelins can be very deadly too.

Racial Templates: Ogres

Racial Templates: Ogres

It's been a while since I did a racial template post. Ogres traditionally serve as the brute monsters with barely no tactics other than smashing puny humans with huge clubs. I think the average of IQ 9 can justify a wider range of tactics and cunning, and that ogres should be more dangerous because of that. Most of the following templates are too expensive for traditional PCs to use, that is why I probably will make sample monsters using those templates later.

Sorcery: Dream Spells

Sorcery: Dream Spells

The last three spells of the college of Communication and Empathy, and two of them also are Mind Control spells. Dream Viewing allows the caster to view his subject's dreams. Dream Sending lets the caster send a message to a sleeping subject. Dream Projection lets him project his presence into a subject's dream.

Sorcery: Communication and Empathy Spells V

Sorcery: Communication and Empathy Spells V

Even more Communication and Empathy spells! Borrow Skill lets the caster temporarily learn a skill from another mind. Communication lets the caster establish a two-way conversation. Lend Skill lends a skill the caster knows to the subject. Retrogression lets the subject to reexperience a memory for good or for worse.

Sorcery: Communication and Empathy Spells IV

Sorcery: Communication and Empathy Spells IV

Some more Communication and Empathy spells. Compel Lie forces the subject to lie. Compel Truth makes the subject unable to lie. Compel Written Truth makes the subject unable to write lies. Insignificance and Presence make the subject more or less forgettable, respectively.

Sorcery: Communication and Empathy Spells III

Sorcery: Communication and Empathy Spells III

More Communication and Empathy spells! Borrow Language lets the caster borrow a language from a subject's mind. Gift of Letters lets the caster temporarily solve literacy problems. Hide Thoughts makes the subject immune to mind reading and mind control. Lend Language makes the subject able to speak a language the caster knows. Truthsayer detects lies.

Sorcery: Communication and Empathy Spells II

Sorcery: Communication and Empathy Spells II

One of the players in my ongoing game soon is going to "unlock" his magical abilities. He's planning to focus on the college of Communication and Empathy, and I have barely touched this college. The player went along and did a write-up of some spells. After looking them over and making some changes, I decided to post them here. Hide Emotion hides the subject's emotional state. Persuasion and Vexation give a bonus or a penalty to a reaction roll. Sense Emotion allows the caster to read the emotional state of a subject. Sense Foes detect enemies.

Sorcery: Partial Shapeshifting IV

Sorcery: Partial Shapeshifting IV

Last Partial Shapeshifting spells. This time we have Tiger Paws, Toad Tongue, and Turtle Shell. We're done with the Animal college!

Sorcery: Partial Shapeshifting III

Sorcery: Partial Shapeshifting III

More Partial Shapeshifting spells! This time we have Serpent's Fangs, Skunk Tail, and Spider Arms.

Sorcery: Partial Shapeshifting II

Sorcery: Partial Shapeshifting II

More Partial Shapeshifting spells! In this post we have Fish Tail, Mountain Goat Hooves, Saber Teeth, and Scorpion Tail.

Sorcery: Partial Shapeshifting I

Sorcery: Partial Shapeshifting I

And the last Animal spell - Partial Shapeshifting. This is actually not a spell, but a big bunch of similar spells that partially transform the subject into an animal. In this post we have Chameleon Eyes, Crocodile Jaws, Elephant Trunk, and Feathered Arms.

Sorcery: Limiting Enchantments

Sorcery: Limiting Enchantments

Looking at the Enchantment College I see that some of the spells seem to be unconvertable. For example, limiting enchantments apply some limitations to make enchanting cheaper, or make the use of the enchanted item limited. I cannot think of a way to represent these spells as Sorcery spells, but they sound exactly like something the Extra Option perk could be used for! Each of the following perks adds a new modifier for the form multiplier (GURPS Thaumatology - Sorcery, pg. 29).

Sorcery: Shapeshifting Spells

Sorcery: Shapeshifting Spells

Shapeshifting wizards have always existed in folklore. Turning people into frogs, taking on a shape of a wolf, etc. Shapeshifting allows the caster to assume a form of a single animal. Permanent Shapeshifting does not require maintenance. Shapeshift Others lets the caster turn the subject into an animal. Great Shapeshift lets the caster assume any form within his power limits.

Vehicle: Toyota Corolla 1.33 (E17)

Vehicle: Toyota Corolla 1.33 (E17)

And another common car that I decided to convert.

Vehicle: Dacia/Renault Logan I

Vehicle: Dacia/Renault Logan I

Some time ago one great person on 4chan's /tg/ began to compile a fan collection of GURPS vehicles, while also providing the contributors with a conversion guide. I know nothing about cars and most other vehicles, but I still decided to try my hand at converting a vehicle from a real world into GURPS. I chose the first model that came to my mind - Renault Logan I.

Sorcery: Boost Attribute Spells

Sorcery: Boost Attribute Spells

These four spells can be cast instantaneously to increase the subject's attributes for a single roll.

Sorcery: Animal Spells III

Sorcery: Animal Spells III

And here's some more animal spells. Beast Possession and Permanent Beast Possession allows the caster to take over an animal's body completely. Rider Within lets the caster tap into an animal's senses. Beast Seeker lets the caster find an animal, if he has something related to the animal.

Sorcery: Animal Spells II

Sorcery: Animal Spells II

Some more animal spells, some of which I had to build from scratch, without basing on the existing spells. Will come in handy later! Beast Link establishes a mental link with a beast and forces the animal to follow you around. Beast Speech allows the caster to communicate with animals. Master is a spell that holds an aggressive animal still. Rider is useful when a mount is needed in the wilderness. Spider Silk is a simple binding attack.

Sorcery: Animal Spells

Sorcery: Animal Spells

I've neglected the college of Animal spells for a while, so it's time to get my hands on it. Beast Summoning is an expensive spell that calls the nearest animal to the caster. Beast-Rouser excites an animal, while Beast-Soother calms it down. Hybrid Control takes over a hybrid (a griffin, a manticore, etc.), and Repel Hybrids creates an area avoided by the hybrids.

Sorcery: Sound Spells III

Sorcery: Sound Spells III

There's only three sound spells left. Sound Jet is a stunning jet attack. Scribe animates a pen to write words. Musical Scribe transcribes music in musical notation. This post is now obsolete due to the release of GURPS Sorcery: Sound Spells.

Sorcery: Voice Spells

Sorcery: Voice Spells

The college of Sound is full of voice-altering spells. Converse allows the caster to talk to his subject directly even in very noisy conditions. Great Voice enhances the volume of the subject's voice. Imitate Voice lets the subject imitate a single voice familiar to the caster. Silver Tongue makes the subject more persuasive. Alter Voice works as Imitate Voice, but changes the voice, instead of letting the subject imitate one. This post is now obsolete due to the release of GURPS Sorcery: Sound Spells.

Sorcery: Sound Spells II

Sorcery: Sound Spells II

Sound spells are very useful for stealthy spellcasters and for countering the enemy spellcasters. Garble makes the subject unable to speak coherently. Hush makes the subject unable to produce any sounds. Mage-Stealth works as Hush, but allows the subject to speak. Noise fills an area with a loud distracting noise. Sound Vision allows the subject to navigate as if using sonar. This post is now obsolete due to the release of GURPS Sorcery: Sound Spells.

Sorcery: Sound Spells

Sorcery: Sound Spells

The college of Sound is not very big, but has many useful spells for combat, defense, mundane tasks, entertainment, and other purposes. Sound and Voices produce auditory illusions of meaningless or meaningful sounds, respectively. Silence blocks sounds in an area, and Wall of Silence creates a soundproof wall. This post is now obsolete due to the release of GURPS Sorcery: Sound Spells.

Sorcery: Necromantic Spells IV

Sorcery: Necromantic Spells IV

Another batch of necromantic spells. Age is a very expensive spell that ages the subject 1 year instantly. Slow Healing and Stop Healing hinder or stop healing, respectively. Summon Demon calls a vile extraplanar being to the caster.

Monster: Flesh Golem

Monster: Flesh Golem

Flesh golem is a classic D&D monster, being inspired by the Frankenstein's Monster. It's slow, strong, and has no free will. Even when obeying its master, a flesh golem has a small chance of going berserk in combat. Its macabre appearance can cause the golem to be mistaken for an undead creature.
