Wizardry: Magic of Incarnum Spells
The almighty random number generator told me to take a look at the spells from Magic of Incarnum. Not that long ago (not even two years), I reworked the way incarnum works in my games, because my first attempt was... the first attempt indeed. The Incarnum power modifier includes the existence of anti-powers, and magic spells are one of them. Thus, we will have spells that can counteract soulmelds. However, the book also has a bunch of spells that are incarnum-themed. Some of them allow the caster to spend essentia or HP for additional effects, some do some other soul-related stuff. For the most part, these spells will go into the Spirit college - a variant Necromantic college that is less about death and undeath, but more about spirits. Their presence on the list will make these two colleges feel more different from each other. I introduced a new keyword - Incarnum - that indicates that the spell can be enhanced by spending essentia/HP. This is also reflected in the Components line with a (E).
Adept Spirit is a delayed buff that temporarily improves some of your magical skills.
Animal Spirit is another delayed buff that temporarily increases Per and grants Night Vision. While normally I'd assign it to the Animal college that is inaccessible to arcane spellcasters, I decided to make an exception here due to thematic reasons.
Channel the Mishtai is a flavorful buff spell with semi-random effects.
Conjure Midnight Construct is a very cheap summoning spell that nonetheless can create a very useful ally. The duration is short, and it always costs HP or essentia.
Detect Incarnum is just a detection spell.
Essentia Lock is a spell that prevents the victim from using incarnum abilities.
Guardian Spirit is another delayed buff that temporarily boosts defenses.
Incarnum Arc is an interesting spell that deals toxic damage in a line between you and a mobile "lightning rod."
Incarnum Bladestorm creates soul-infused ephemeral blades that cut through material and immaterial victims.
Open Chakra has nothing to do with the original series of Open [x] Chakra. Now, this is a spell that grants chi talents, which seems appropriate to me because chakras are mostly a chi concept now, and incarnum's theme is that it can be used to boost abilities of other power sources.
Protection from Incarnum creates an ablative barrier that stops incarnum-based attacks, but prevents the subject from gaining essentia.
Rend Essentia is an attack that targets ER (Incarnum).
Soul Blight is the same as Rend Essentia, but in addition deals toxic damage equal to ER burned.
Soul Boon makes it difficult to harm your soul and dispel your soulmelds.
Soulbanned Zone is a very situational spell that probably is never worth learning (unless you're in an area where enemies often use incarnum). However, it could be a nice situationally useful scroll, couldn't it?
Soulbleed makes a weapon deal follow-up essentia and toxic damage.
Soulmeld Disjunction dispels all active soulmelds on the target creature and prevents their reactivation for a short time.
Steal Incarnum is an ER (Incarnum) variant of Energy Drain.
Suppress Magic lost its ability to affect soulmelds and now is a spell that temporarily suppresses magic items.
Valiant Spirit is the final delayed buff spell that increases DX and resistance to fear temporarily.

By casting this spell, you conjure a
midnight
construct worth up to 25% of your point value into existence using a piece
of your own soul and ambient incarnum. The construct obeys your orders
regardless of how you treat it. The construct does not possess any knowledge,
so this spell cannot be used to gain information.
A conjured construct is vulnerable to being dispelled, banished, or warded off with occult techniques. If it is destroyed, you must wait 24 hours before using this spell again; if dismissed, you must wait five minutes.

When you cast this spell, you can
immediately sense all nearby sources of incarnum (soulmelds, effects of
soulmelds, incarnum-infused creatures, meldshapers, etc.), sorted by the
direction to each one, provided you can see their source with your own eyes.
The GM will roll against your skill (plus Talent), minus the range penalty to
the nearest incarnum source, and inform you if you succeed. You can make a
follow-up Expert Skill (Incarnum) roll (plus Talent) to analyze the aura. An
ordinary success tells you to which alignment and tradition (meldshaping or
totemism) the effect belongs and the general description of the effect, and a
critical success reveals the exact soulmeld or effect, if you are familiar with
it.
The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.

You bestow a prescient unborn soul
on the subject. The soul energy lies dormant within the subject’s body, until
the subject decides to awaken it with a Concentrate maneuver and a successful
Will roll or until the duration expires, whichever comes first. While awoken,
the soul energy grants the subject a +1 bonus to all active defenses. The
caster may pay an additional point of ER (Incarnum) or HP during the casting to
have the soul additionally grant the subject the Danger Sense (p. B47)
advantage.

You create a drifting “lightning rod” of incarnum that appears at the point you designate (you target the hex at +4). Instantly, an arc of soul energy forms between you and the incarnum rod, creating a line. At the end of your turn, any living creature, including insubstantial ones, in that line is attacked by the arc with effective skill level 14, modified only for the target’s Size Modifier, and takes 1d-1 toxic damage on hit, ignoring DR or any obstacles between you and the “rod.” This discharge can only be dodged, not blocked or parried. This spell has no 1/2D range and works identically in air and underwater.
In subsequent turns, incarnum arcs again between you and the rod at the end of your turn. You can move the rod up at Move 3 by taking a Concentrate maneuver, or you can leave it in place and move yourself if you wish to change the path of the arc. If the distance between you and the rod at the end of your turn is further than 20 yards, no arc occurs but the spell remains active.
Statistics: Toxic Attack 1d-1 (Affects Insubstantial, +20%; Bombardment, Skill 14, -5%; Cone 1, +60%; Cosmic, Irresistible Attack, +300%; Costs Hit Points, 1 HP, -10%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Increased Range, 10x (Accessibility, Underwater only, ‑50%), +15%; Magical, -10%; Mobile 3, +120%; Nuisance Effect, Range limit, -5%; Persistent, +40%; Reduced Range, 1/5, -20%; Requires Gestures, -10%; Requires IQ Roll, -10%; Requires Magic Words, -10%; Underwater, +20%) [19].

You create a whirling storm of
jagged incarnum blades in a 4-yard-radius 4-yard-high cylindrical area. Use
Innate Attack (Gaze), at +4, to center the area; see Scatter (p. B414) if you miss. This spell works identically in air and underwater. Every second, everyone in the area,
including incorporeal creatures, is attacked with an effective skill of 12,
modified only for their SM. Blade deals 1d-1 cutting damage. The blades can be
dodged, blocked, or parried.
Statistics: Cutting Attack 1d-1 (Affects Insubstantial, +20%; Area Effect, 4 yards, +100%; Blockable, -5%; Bombardment, Skill-12, -10%; Can be parried, -5%; Costs Hit Points, 1 HP, -10%; Increased Range, 10x (Accessibility, Underwater only, 50%), +15%; Magical, -10%; Persistent, +40%; Reduced Range, 1/5, -20%; Requires Gestures, -10%; Requires IQ Roll, -10%; Requires Magic Words, -10%; Underwater, +20%) [11].

Duration: 30 minutes.
You use magical energies to pry open one of the subject’s chakras. You give the subject either one level of Forceful Chi (p. MA47) or one level of Inner Balance (p. MA47). You may pay an additional point of ER (Incarnum) or 1 HP during the casting to increase the level of the granted talent to 2. You can cast this spell twice on the same subject to give him both talents.
Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Self Only, -50%; Alternative Enhancements, Open Chakra, +170%; Alternative Enhancements, Open Charka (Costs Hit Points, 1 HP, -10%), +155%; Costs Fatigue, 1 FP, -5%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Magical, -10%; Requires Gestures, -10%; Requires IQ Roll, -10%; Requires Magic Words, -10%; Takes Extra Time 2, -20%) [35]. Note: “Alternative Enhancements, Open Chakra” is Forceful Chi 1 (Magical, -10%) [14] and Inner Balance 1 (Magical, -10%) [14] taken as alternative enhancements for the net cost of +170%.

Protection from Incarnum
Keywords: Buff.
Full Cost (Self): 10 points for level 1 + 5 points/additional level.
Full Cost (Touch): 25 points for level 1 + 5 points/additional level.
Casting Roll: Skill.
Components: V, S.
Cost: 1 FP.
Casting Time: 1 second.
Range: Self – Touch.
Duration: 30 minutes.
The subject and all his gear become
magically warded against incarnum attacks, including internal attacks. This
includes such damage-dealing incarnum abilities and such spells as Incarnum Arc
and Incarnum Bladestorm. He and all his carried gear have DR against incarnum
attacks equal to 5 * spell level. This DR is ablative - it stops damage once.
Each point of DR stops one point of basic damage but is destroyed in the
process. The barrier is normally invisible, but it flashes electric blue when
struck by an incarnum attack.
A side effect of this spell is that it prevents the subject from gaining ER (Incarnum), even if such an effect would be considered beneficial. Such effects automatically fail if targeted on the protected subject.
Lost DR “heals” at the same rate as lost HP (including the effects of Regeneration). Even when this spell has worn off, the subject still recovers “virtual” DR at the same rate. Thus, if this spell granted DR 10, and the subject took 4 point of damage, reducing it to 6, then recasting this spell immediately on the same subject would only provide DR 6, because he hasn’t “recovered” yet.
Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Self Only, -50%; Advantage, Protection from Incarnum 1, +50%; Costs Fatigue, 1 FP, -5%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Magical, -10%; Requires Gestures, -10%; Requires IQ Roll, -10%; Requires Magic Words, -10%) [10].

The Touch version removes Accessibility, Self Only, -50% and Requires IQ Roll, -10% and adds Accessibility, Only nonvolitional or non-resisting subjects, -20%, Based on IQ, Own Roll, +20%; Malediction 1, +100%, Melee Attack, Reach C, -30%, and No Signature, +20% [+15].

Incarnum Arc
Keywords: Incarnum, Missile, Obvious.
Full Cost: 19 points.
Casting Roll: Skill. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to place the effect.
Components: V, S, (E).
Cost: 1 HP or ER (Incarnum).
Casting Time: 1 second.
Range: 20 yards.
Duration: 10 seconds.
You create a drifting “lightning rod” of incarnum that appears at the point you designate (you target the hex at +4). Instantly, an arc of soul energy forms between you and the incarnum rod, creating a line. At the end of your turn, any living creature, including insubstantial ones, in that line is attacked by the arc with effective skill level 14, modified only for the target’s Size Modifier, and takes 1d-1 toxic damage on hit, ignoring DR or any obstacles between you and the “rod.” This discharge can only be dodged, not blocked or parried. This spell has no 1/2D range and works identically in air and underwater.
In subsequent turns, incarnum arcs again between you and the rod at the end of your turn. You can move the rod up at Move 3 by taking a Concentrate maneuver, or you can leave it in place and move yourself if you wish to change the path of the arc. If the distance between you and the rod at the end of your turn is further than 20 yards, no arc occurs but the spell remains active.

A side effect of this spell is that it prevents the subject from gaining ER (Incarnum), even if such an effect would be considered beneficial. Such effects automatically fail if targeted on the protected subject.
Lost DR “heals” at the same rate as lost HP (including the effects of Regeneration). Even when this spell has worn off, the subject still recovers “virtual” DR at the same rate. Thus, if this spell granted DR 10, and the subject took 4 point of damage, reducing it to 6, then recasting this spell immediately on the same subject would only provide DR 6, because he hasn’t “recovered” yet.

You can steal ER (Incarnum) from a living victim to replenish your own. This requires ongoing physical contact with the target. In combat, this means having the victim grappled. Out of combat, you can cast this spell on a helpless or restrained victim. On every successful casting (an Attack maneuver), he loses 2 ER (Incarnum) and you recover 2 ER (Incarnum). You can’t raise your ER above normal, but you can continue the drain without reinvigorating yourself.
