Sorcery: Light Spells

Sorcery: Light Spells

Here we have three light spells converted from D&D/PF. Color Spray is a cone-shaped effect that stuns or blinds the victims. Faerie Fire makes the subject more visible. Glitterdust blinds creatures in the area and outlines invisible beings.

Color Spray

Keywords: Obvious.

Full Cost: 31 point.

Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Beam) to hit.

Range: 10 yards.

Duration: Instantaneous or 5 seconds.

You create a spray of flashing colors. The spell spreads to affect everyone in a cone-shaped area. Cones use special rules; see Area and Spreading Attacks (p. B413). The cone has a maximum width of 6 yards at the spell’s maximum range. This spell has no 1/2D range. Each sighted creature in the area resists with its HT, and is stunned on a failed resistance roll. Should a creature fail by 5 or more or roll a critical failure, it is additionally blinded for 5 seconds. Creatures with Protected Vision resist at +5.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Cone 6, +110%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, x10, +15%; Reduced Duration on Blindness, 1/30, -30%; Reduced Range, 1/10, -30%; Secondary Blindness, +10%; Sorcery, -15%; Vision-Based, +150%) [31].

  

Faerie Fire

Keywords: Resisted (Will).

Full Cost: 30 points.

Casting Roll: Will.

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 3 minutes.

This spell causes the subject to emit blue, green, or purple (chosen by the caster) light equivalent to a torch. This light makes the subject very obvious – the spell gives +10 to Vision rolls to see him or -10 to your Stealth rolls, as the situation warrants.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (Will; Advantage, Faerie Fire, +10%; Based on Will, +20%; Disadvantage, Noisy 5, Visual, +10%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Malediction 2, +150%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [30]. Note: “Faerie Fire” is Illumination (Magical, -10%) [1].

Full Cost: 37 points for level 1 + 5 points/additional level.

Casting Roll: Will.

Range: Unlimited.

Duration: 5 seconds or 3 minutes.

A cloud of golden particles covers everyone and everything in the area, causing creatures to become blinded for 5 seconds on a failed HT roll to resist and visibly outlining invisible things for 3 minutes on a failed DX roll to resist. All within the area are covered by the dust, which cannot be removed and continues to sparkle until it fades. Creatures with Protected Vision resist blindness at +5.
