Wizardry: Adventurer Spells I

I didn't forget about wizardry. Let's convert some spells from Complete Adventurer. Absorb Weapon lets you absorb a weapon into your body. Balancing Lorecall is a dual spell that enhances your sense of balance. Bladeweave is a peculiar illusion spell that lets you entrance an enemy with the movement of your weapon. Branch to Branch is a brachiator self-buff. Exacting Shot makes a ranged weapon more accurate.

    Absorb Weapon
    Keywords: None.
    Full Cost: 1 point/level.
    Casting Roll: Skill.
    Components: V, S.
    Cost: 1 FP to cast, 1 FP per 10 minutes to maintain.
    Casting Time: 2 seconds.
    Range: Touch.
    Duration: Indefinite.
 
    You can harmlessly absorb a weapon you are touching (even a poisoned one) into your arm, so long as it is not in another creature’s possession. The weapon must weigh no more than spell level * Basic Lift/10 lbs. The absorbed weapon cannot be felt under the skin and doesn’t restrict your range of motion in any way. An absorbed weapon cannot be detected with even a careful search, although a Detect Magic spell reveals the presence of a magical aura. The only evidence of its presence is a faint blotch on your skin shaped vaguely like the weapon. Rather than being protected by your defensive advantages, your weapon actually is in another dimension entirely and can’t be affected by any normal attack.
    Getting it out takes one second or a Fast-Draw roll (aided by Talent). When the spell ends, the weapon is expelled.
