Sorcery: Enchantment Spells IV

Sorcery: Enchantment Spells IV

Last Enchantment spells that seem to be convertable to me. Hideaway makes a container a bag of holding. Leak makes a container lose its contents occasionally. Soul Stone makes the subject unkillable, trapping his soul in an inanimate object. Impression Blocker makes a container that protects items within from acquiring impressions of their owners.

   

Impression Blocker

Keywords: Buff.

Full Cost: 60 points.

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

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 1 day.

Seeker (GURPS Magic, p. 105) and related spells require an object associated with the item or person sought in order to work. This spell enchants a container so that it allows people to carry items without them becoming “associated” with the carrier.

An object in a closed blocker container retains the impressions it had when the container was shut. If removed, handled briefly, and replaced, the object will acquire a very faint impression of the handler, but it won’t be enough for a Seeker spell unless the handler does so once a day for decades.

Note: “Impression Blocker” is Obscure 10 (Impressions; Defensive, +50%; Magical, -10%; No Area of Effect, -50%; Stealthy, +100%) [38].

Hideaway

Keywords: Buff.

Full Cost: 29 points for level 1 + 7 points/additional level.

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

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 1 day.

You make a container bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Each level provides extra space for (caster’s HP x caster’s HP)/200 cubic feet of possessions. While you can multiply by 20 lbs./cubic foot to estimate weight, the contents aren’t affected by gravity and capacity doesn’t depend on the caster’s ST. Rather than being protected by the container’s defensive advantages, extra possessions are in another dimension entirely and can’t be affected by any normal attack.

When the spell ends, all contents that cannot fit are expelled.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Only on containers, -20%; Advantage, Hideaway 1, +70%; Extended Duration, 1,000x, +120%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [29]. Note: Each level of “Hideaway” is Payload 5 (Cosmic, Extraplanar, +50%; Magical, -10%) [7].

   

Leak

Keywords: Resisted (HT).

Full Cost: 38 points.

Casting Roll: Will.

Range: Unlimited.

Duration: 1 day.

The container enchanted will have an uncanny tendency to “lose” whatever is put in it (coins, arrows, clothes, etc.). Whenever an item is put into the container, make a 3d roll. If the result is higher than 9, then the item will disappear into thin air 2d minutes later. It is not destroyed, but is deposited somewhere outside the container, as if it was dropped or lost. Living beings are unaffected.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Only on containers, -20%; Disadvantage, Kleptomania (9), Variant, +22%; Extended Duration, 1,000x, +120%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Malediction 2, +150%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, ‑15%) [38].

Soul Stone

Keywords: Resisted (Will).

Full Cost: 166 points.

Casting Roll: Will. Special casting time.

Range: Unlimited.

Duration: Truly Permanent.

Traps the subject’s soul in some inanimate object (which the subject must be touching). If the subject is not the caster, then he must be present, and either willing or unconscious. The ritual requires 8 hours of uninterrupted concentration.

When your soul is in a Soul Stone, the subject cannot be killed. He becomes immune to disease, poison, and aging. Injury affects him normally, but he needs never make a HT roll to stay alive. Once he reaches -10xHP, he is reduced to an indestructible skeleton and automatically falls unconscious. He sustains no further damage from any attack. Once the damage stops, he heals normally – even if he has been hacked to pieces – and any severed body parts will grow back. He regain consciousness once he has positive HP.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (Will; Advantage, Soul Stone, +1,200%; Based on Will, +20%; Extended Duration, Truly Permanent, +300%; Immediate Preparation Required, 8 hours, -90%; Malediction 2, +150%; No Signature, +20%; Nuisance Effect, Subject must be willing or unconscious, -30%; Sorcery, -15%) [166]. Note: “Soul Stone” is Immunity to Disease (Magical, -10%; Requires a Soul Stone, -5%) [9] + Immunity to Poison (Magical, -10%; Requires a Soul Stone, -5%) [13] + Unaging (Magical, -10%; Requires a Soul Stone, -5%) [13] + Unkillable 2 (Magical, -10%; Requires a Soul Stone, -5%) [85].
