Sorcery: Mana Spells

Sorcery: Mana Spells

GURPS Thaumatology has two new advantages - Wild Mana Generator and Twisted Mana Generator. Let's build some sorcery spells based on these.

Sorcery: Perk-Based Spells

Sorcery: Perk-Based Spells

Pyramid #3-82 lists perks on page 11 that can be taken as spells. Let's actually makes spells based on these perks, but use the "basic = personal, improved = buff" approach I've used for similar spells before.

Monster: Wall-Walker

Monster: Wall-Walker

Wall-walkers are strange spider-reptile hybrids with innate psionics. Apparently, they are from the Dark Sun setting, but I found this template in my old notes.

Monster: Effigy

Monster: Effigy

The effigy is a powerful ghost that burns possessed victims from within.

Sorcery: Air Spells VII

Sorcery: Air Spells VII

Let's make some air spells. Static Charge is actually a conversion of a spell from GURPS Technomancer. Antistatic is a variant of Deflect Energy. Reflect Lightning is a variant of Return Missiles. And Ride the Lightning is a spell that I wanted to create for a long time, but never got around to actually writing it up.

Sorcery: Divination Variants

Sorcery: Divination Variants

The Divination spell from GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery is a single spell that simply gives you a vision pertaining to the question asked. GURPS Magic has Divination not as a single spell, but as a group of various divination techniques that differ from each other. So, let's split Divination into many much more flavorful options. And Rhabdomancy from GURPS Underground Adventures probably should be a separate spell. This post has all Divination variants from the 4th edition books, Pyramid #3, GURPS Magic 3e, GURPS Grimoire, and GURPS Technomancer. It seems that Haruspication from 3e was renamed to Extrispicy in 4e, Molybdomancy was merged into Lecanomancy, Arm Measuring and Chiromancy were merged into Physiognomy, Belomancy, I Ching, and Maize Kernel Reading were merged into Sortilege, Ornithomancy was merged with Augury, and Rune-Casting was renamed to Symbol-Casting.

Sorcery: Curse-Missiles II

Sorcery: Curse-Missiles II

And these are the last spells from GURPS Grimoire that did not make it to the 4th edition - even more curse-missiles!
