Sorcery: Assorted Spells

Sorcery: Assorted Spells

Four random spells that I could not group up with any other spells. Fount of Wine (Pyramid #3-43) is a useful spell at parties. Grasping Doom (GURPS Magical Styles - Dungeon Magic) is a highly situational necromantic binding spell. Mind over Matter (GURPS Magical Styles - Dungeon Magic) replaces the subject's DX with Per. Summon Divine Ghost (Pyramid #3-105) interrogates a spirit of a dead deity.

Monster: Devourer

Monster: Devourer

The devourer is a powerful undead monster spawned by the extraplanar githyanki (see Dragon Magazine #355). Placed in the middle of the CR spectrum, it should prove to be a challenge for a middle-level party. While converting it to GURPS I merged energy drain and essence steal into a single draining ability that powers the spellcasting, evading including an instant death attack. Giving the monster some Wrestling with high ST should make it easier for the devourer to grapple the victim and drain his life.
