Ye Auld Skool Spell Creator
Introduction
This project was originally part of an attempt to see
how far the 1974 rules of the world’s most famous
FRPG could be pushed. My intent was to use the rules
as written in order to make a means for creating various
kinds of powers and spells for different kinds of settings
and genres. Specifically, I was trying to see how possible
it would be to duplicate the weird science and mental
abilities found in the sci-fi serials of the 1920s and 30s.
Therefore, I broke down all of the spells as written in
the 1974 rules to simple mechanics and then looked for
patterns. In this way I was able to boil them all down to
sixteen basic spells upon which extra mechanics could be
added in order to create higher level spells.
My goal was to be able to exactly duplicate any
spell in the 1974 rules using this system. Unfortunatley,
this proved to be a quixotic quest, particularly with
enchantment-type spells. On the whole, however, I was
able to come awfully close. In addition, where I missed
the mark tended to involve those spells which have been
problematic over time and changed in future editions of
the game. This system (in part) duplicates that natural
process.
My hope is that this book becomes a resource and
tool for those who wish to use the 1974 rules to play
a variety of genres or to customize their own fantasy
campaign worlds.

How to Use This Supplement
What follows are sixteen base spells. Next to them may
appear one of two symbols: ~ which corresponds to
one level of arcane magic and 9 which corresponds to
one level of divine magic. If neither appears, it indicates
that the base spell requires an additional mechanical
improvement in order to become a 1st level spell.
After the base spell description are a number of
mechanical improvements that can be added to the base
spell. Next to each will be one or more of the ~ and/
or 9 symbols. Each symbol indicates an additional level
of either arcane or divine magic. Once all of the various
mechanical improvements are chosen, total the number
of symbols to arrive at the level of the spell.
The primary goal of this project is to have a solid
mechanical base onto which players can attach any kind
of special effect. One player may want a one-shot alien
device, another a magic arrow that they fire and yet
another a psionic attack; however, the mechanics behind
these three different special effects can be identicle.
Each of the following spells is really just a list of
mechanics and a means of deciding what spell level those
mechanics fall under. What those mechanics actually
look like inside the campaign world is entirely up to you.
Please note, there is only a small attempt on my part
to “balance” these spells. They are primarily the mechanics
as found in the 1974 rules “smoothed out.” It is largely
up to the Referee to determine if any implementation of
those mechanics is abusive.

Appendix
For those who are interested, here are all the spells from
the 1974 rules listed with the mechanical improvements
layered on top of the base spell as they would be
implemented using this system. Note that some spells do
differ from their original both mechanically and in spell
level. The differences are either minor (to standardize
Duration or Range, for example) or because the mechanics
in the original simply demand it (especially with Enchant
where the machanics of higher level spells like Geas and
Quest are actually weaker than lower level spells like Sleep
and Charm Person).
