Sorcery: Body Control Spells IV

Sorcery: Body Control Spells IV

I found 3 more Body Control spells outside of GURPS Magic. Breath Adaptation is useful for speleologists. Death causes a heart attack. Doomtouch can kill a living creature instantly.

  

Breath Adaptation

The subject’s lungs can adapt to great pressure, permitting him to breathe unhindered (and avoid the bends) at up to 10 atmospheres. This allows him to travel as deep as 12.5 miles underground. This effect does not work underwater.
