Speleo Spells

Cryobrite Bridge
Magic-User Level 1
Duration: Permanent
Range: 0
The caster can summon up a bridge of yellow cakey, brittle untrustworthy stone. The
bridge is 10 feet long for every level of the caster. Its width is equal in feet
to 1/3 of the casters intelligence score. The rock is solid and will support
weight, but is about as hard to chip away as polystyrene. Use of this spell in a
volume under the control of a particular race will be taken as an affront and
possible prelude to attack. If they wanted a bridge there they would have built
one. Also your bridge is thin as fuck, no-ones impressed.

Calcite Gap
Magic-User Level2
Duration: 1 turn
Range: touch
The subject can move through calcite formations as if they were thick foliage. The
stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone and helictites will simply shift smoothly out
of the way without breaking. If the subject is still amidst the flowing stone when
the spell give out, they will be trapped.

Heat Ghost
Magic-User Level 1
Duration: 1 turn/level
Range: 5ft/level
Creates a human-shaped and sized figure, under the control of the caster, visible
only in the infrared spectrum. To a watcher using only infravision this will appear
to be a real person. The figure cannot speak or affect the physical world but any
tracks they leave will persist in exactly the same way as those of a warm blooded
person. If this spell is memorised it may be cast alongside any illusion spell to
extend the illusory effect into the infrared spectrum.

Stone Steps
Magic-User Level 1
Duration: 1 round/level
Range: 10ft/level
Turns any stone slope, from 10 to 70 degrees incline, into a set of 6ft wide, neat,
even stone steps. The length of the stairway increases with the level of the mage.
When the spell ends, the stairs disappear back into the rock. Often used as a trap
spell.

Speak With Air

Magic-User Level 4
Duration: 1 round/level
Range: 0
As already stated

Worthless Corpse
Magic-User Level 1
Duration: 1 turn/level
Range: touch

spell makes the body of the target appear, not simply dead, but utterly worthless,
not worth investigating, without even marrow to crack open and eat.

Blood Into Rope

Magic-User Level 1
Duration: 1 turn/level
Range: 0
The caster can drain their own blood and weave it into a red rope. Arterial blood
is dynamic, veinous blood is static. The rope is non-animate but will un-knot on
command. It counts as magical, which means it could be used to, for instance,
strangle a Ghost. Rope is 30ft long per hp sacrificed.

Hollow Head
Magic-User Level 3
Duration: 1 turn/level
Range: touch
This spell moves the targets brain into a side dimension, and leaves a handy crack
all the way around their skull. They head can be opened and the brain-shaped space
inside can be used to store handy things. The crack is undetectable and cannot be
opened by anyone other than the caster. The subject is immune to mind-affecting
magic as their brain is no longer there. Loos objects may rattle around. The brain
returns to its position at the end of the period, if anything is occupying the same
space the subject will die instantly. Unwilling subjects get a save.

Servant Skull
Magic-User Level 1
Duration: permanent
Range: Touch
This spell can only be learnt directly from the Olm, they never write it down. The
caster can enchant the skull of a dead college. (Only PCs can be affected and only
if the player of that character is willing.) The skull, once flensed, can float
around freely. It has the memory and intelligence of the fallen friend, 1HD and no
powers of any kind.

Skellygrab
Magic-User Level 4
Duration: Permanent
Range: Touch
The caster can turn the bone skeleton hand (one hand per casting) of an
intelligent, named, humanoid, into a grapple. The hand can grab, climb and run
around on the end of its rope with the same skill as its original owner. (The hand
of a high levele thief, for instance, will be significantly better than that of a
common mook.) It has standard human strength. It counts as a retainer and has a
morale.

Terror Tubes
Magic-User Level 5
Duration: Instant
Range: 0
If this spell is memorised it can be cast instantly as a free action, even in the
enemies turn. The casters mouth opens to enormous size and all the fear in the
immediate location is swallowed and moved safely to their appendix. The fear-
creating properties of any being can be consumed this way. However, this fear
remains in existence, simply inside the casters swollen appendix. If the appendix
bursts at any time the fear will be released. So if the caster steals the fear of a
Death Knight and then takes a blow to the stomach, they will be poisoned by
appendicitis while emanating terror.

Spelogrowth
Magic-User Level 5
Duration: Permanent
Range: 120
Area: one cave.
Causes the creation of speleothems to go into overdrive. Stalactites and
stalagmites close in like teeth in a closing jaw. This still takes a few seconds so
is not that useful as a weapon, but can trap those inside, or make an area
impassible.

Piercer Cloak
Magic-User Level 3
Duration: Permanent
Range: touch
Over the course of an hour the caster can enchant a cloak. The wearer of this cloak
can wear it as long as they wish. If they wrap it over their head like a cone, they

to ceilings, shuffle slowly around, observe secretly and drop on people. This will
continue until the unfurl the cloak, at which point the enchantment is lost.

Cone of Mould
Magic-User Level 7
Duration: Immediate
Range: 0

a cone 6 feet long per level of the caster. This area is full of spores. These

to animate.

Waterfall Caul
Magic-User Level 5
Duration: 1 day/level
Range: 0
If in the presence of a waterfall, the magic user may steal a fragment of its
power. A cloak-shaped gap appears in the waterfall. This part of the waterfall now
falls around the casters shoulders like a cloak. The water appears from nowhere,
flows the length of the casters body and disappears. It looks cool as fuck.
Anything thrown, or pushed, into the water will appear in the waterfall. To the
caster, the falling water may be manipulated as a cloak and does not chill their
body. To anyone else it is surging white water with the same temperature and force
at the original falls. Provides equivalent to plate protection anywhere it covers
the body. Protects against backstab. Quite loud. Tends to mist up the place. The
cloak may only be taken from an actual waterfall, it cannot be created whole.

Dream Venom
Magic-User Level 3
Duration: Permanent
Range: 0
An invention of the Drow. The caster may distil a poison that infects the dream
state of the victim. This can be applied to any blade or placed in food or drink.

the caster dreams their body in the dream will be horribly diseased. The disease
begins as a mild flu-like virus and progresses slowly to the level of horrific
leprosy. The caster can release the victim at any time. It is rumoured that certain
rare materials can also cure the poison.

Vampire Counsel
Magic-User Level 5
Duration: see below
Range: 0

vampire summoned will be human 70% of the time and 30% will be another humanoid but
highly intelligent race. The Vampire is a fully trained and highly expert lawyer in
every known legal system. The vampire will serve in a legal capacity only and will
do nothing illegal. Though there are, of course, grey areas. They will never
engage in combat of any kind, except verbal combat. They will serve as long as they
are fed one pint of blood a day and there is legal work to do. Other creatures will
react exactly as if a Vampire had suddenly appeared in their midst. However, if
they examine their records, they will find the Vampire is a registered member of
the bar in that polity and is qualified to represent the caster and associates in
court. People have been arrested for casting Vampire Counsel, but never convicted.

Ghoul Pipes
Magic-User Level 4
Duration: depends
Range: 30ft
By taking the thigh bones of a humanoid that starved to death and hollowing them
out, the caster can create a pair of pipes. Use of this spell transforms them into
Ghoul Pipes. The pipes will only work for that caster. Anyone listening to music
from those pipes will not be disgusted or surprised by any meal they are invited to
eat. Even the rotting flesh of their own family will pass without remark. They are
no more or less likely to eat than they would a normal meal, but the nature of the
food will have no effect on their decision.

be prevented by anti magic or dispelled. If the caster blinks, looks away, drops

themselves.
