Wizardry: Dragons of Faerun Spells

Wizardry: Dragons of Faerun Spells

Dragons of Faerun is a setting-specific book that has some nice stuff despite that. The section with new spells isn't long, but it's full of spells that are either highly setting-specific (such as all the Dracorage stuff) or plain weird. Let's see if I can borrow something for my games.

Blunt Natural Weapons either removes or downgrades all piercing/cutting/impaling natural weapons.

Compel Breath is the reverse of Suppress Breath Weapon.

Dragonblood Spell-Pact is more of a unique new mechanic than a spell. At first, I wanted to simply assign an arbitrary point cost to it, but then decided to make at least a vague approximation. Still, this is a complete asspull.

Dragoncall is a cool spell that only dragons can cast. It compels the nearest sapient creature to come to the dragon.

Gaze Screen is a spell that protects against gaze attacks.

Revelation creates an area where magically hidden objects and creatures are revealed for a short time.

This spell blunts the natural weapons of the target creature. The subject loses Sharp Teeth, Fangs, Sharp Claws, Talons, and Long Talons advantages, which means that bites and punches deal crushing damage without the associated bonuses for these advantages. Strikers and Natural Weapons that were dealing piercing, large piercing, huge piercing, impaling, or cutting damage deal crushing damage for the duration of this spell, and Natural Weapons that were dealing small piercing damage stop functioning at all.

The target of this spell is mentally compelled to use its breath weapon on its next turn. The target must be sapient, and if it possesses multiple breath weapons, it uses one of its choosing. If the target is under effect of Suppress Breath Weapon, you must roll a Quick Contest of skill versus the caster of Suppress Breath Weapon; if you win, the target is compelled to use its breath weapon.
If the subject successfully resists, further castings on the same subject take a cumulative -2 penalty. This penalty resets after one day.

Magic swirls around you and your ally, sparkling with the intensity of secret knowledge. This spell allows two willing dragonblood creatures to trade known spells. The two creatures agree upon a spell to swap. These spells must be either wizard spells or sorcerer spells, but the spellcasting scope limitations of both participants do not matter. Wizard spells are only traded for wizard spells, and sorcerer spells are only traded for sorcerer spells. Both participants must expend a number of character points when trading spells. If a spell becomes part of an alternative abilities array and doesn’t become the most expensive spell of the array, the recipient must expend a number of character points equal to 1/5 of the spell’s full cost, rounded up. If a spell doesn’t become part of an alternative abilities array or becomes the most expensive spell of the array, the recipient must expend a number of character points equal to the spell’s full cost. In other words, the participants purchase the spells from one another paying as many character points as they would’ve paid to purchase the spells normally.
When a spell is traded, it is no longer in the repertoire of known spells of the trader. Each participant must pay 1 HP when they cut themselves in a blood ceremony to seal their trade.
For instance, Talarix is a silver dragon who knows Air Walk (Self) [20] and Eagle’s Splendor (Touch) [23] as part of an alternative abilities array, and Ux’alan is a dragonborn wizard who only knows Calm Emotions (Ranged) [28] and Detect Thoughts (Ranged) [12] as part of an alternative abilities array. They decide to trade Air Walk (Self) [20] and Detect Thoughts (Ranged) [12]. None of them become the most expensive spells of the recipient’s alternative abilities arrays, so Talarix expends 3 character points to “purchase” Detect Thoughts (Ranged) [12], and Ux’alan expends 4 character points to “purchase” Air Walk (Self) [20].
Special: Only dragons and dragonblood creatures can cast this spell.

Dragoncall
Keywords: Resisted (Will).
Full Cost: 64 points.
Casting Roll: Skill.
Components: V, Special.
Cost: 3 FP.
Casting Time: 10 minutes.
Range: Unlimited (long-distance).
Duration: 6 days.
 
This spell allows you to send out a call to the nearest sapient creature. The GM makes the casting roll in secret, because the range penalty is unknown to you. If the creature fails to resist, it must make a roll against 12 each day. If it fails, it must come to your location using the most expedient means available. The creature will not brave unnecessary harm, but it will disregard minor hazards (a snowstorm or traveling through bandit territory) to reach its destination. If the creature makes a successful roll against 12, it is free to act normally that day, but it must continue to make a new roll each day for the duration of the spell. Once the creature arrives in your location, it is in no other way bound to you, but it reacts to you at +2, has -2 to resist all Influence rolls attempted by you and on self-control rolls for disadvantages where you are concerned (for example, Impulsiveness may force it to agree to your decision hastily).
Special: Only dragons can cast this spell.

This spell creates a mirrorlike area around the recipient’s eyes. This effect moves with the recipient and does not affect his vision. When this effect is active, the subject is immune to gaze attacks, i.e. supernatural abilities and spells that explicitly require eye contact, such as the petrifying gaze of a basilisk or medusa.

Revelation creates a 4-yard-radius spherical area in which all things appear as they actually are. Revelation only works against magical deceptions, such as invisibility, illusions, and shapechanging, but doesn’t dispel the effects. Should a creature pass through the are during its duration, any hidden elements on it are revealed, though they are again hidden as soon as the creature steps out of the area.
