NECROMANCY

Necromancers are the servants of Lithos, and are skilled at manipulating the residual energy left behind when life departs form its physical shell. This energy is emitted as etheric waves. In preparation for controlling this magic, the necromancer keeps reagents near to his hand. These are simply natural materials that are consumed entirely by the magic process. Each spell is only good for one casting per preparation.

To create a Necromantic spell

* Put the appropriate reagents in a pouch.
* Close the pouch.
* Use the Key of the Caretaker on the pouch.

The spell is then "readied," and may be used at any time.
Note. Casting, not creating, the spell is when mana is consumed.

REAGENTS

[Version 2.10] Each individual reagent weighs 1 apiece. When they are stacked, some weigh 1/10th apiece, rounding up to the nearest whole number (e.g. 1-10 weighs 1, 11-20 weighs 2.).

[Version 2.11] Each individual reagent weighs 1/10th apiece.

Blood

Main Location Cemetery, Ancient Necromancers, Stone Cove
Intrinsic Forces Movement/Animation -- the essence of life, reft from the body, serves as a reminder of mortality.

Bone

Main Location Cemetary, Ancient Necromancers, Stone Cove
Intrinsic Forces Summoning/Communication -- the source of blood is also, strangely enough, the source of the will, and remembers the life it once embraced.

Wood

Main Location Fisherman's Reef, Ancient Necromancers, Stone Cove
Intrinsic Forces Preservation/Binding -- almost ageless, a time-aided tree can be stronger than the hardest rock.

Dirt

Main Location Cemetery, Ancient Necromancers, Stone Cove
Intrinsic Forces Protection -- the plant grows from the womb of the land, in roots deeply embedded in the safety of the soil.

Executioner's Hood

Main Location East Road, Stone Cove
Intrinsic Forces Death -- this fungus is black in hue, dark in purpose and shaped like the head-covering of its namesake.

Blackmoor

Main Location Cemetery, Ancient Necromancers, Stone Cove
Intrinsic Forces Power -- this is an odd mixture of the element of Earth and the mysterious Blackrock.

THEURGY

Purity is the goal for Theurgists. Although they begin their studies using small tokens to serve as foci for their thoughts, as these monks gain skill they no longer need the artificial help of any physical items. This level of enlightenment, however, takes years to attain -- during which their silver foci are invaluable. Once the token is charged, the spell can be cast innumerable times, limited only by the amount of the caster's mana.

To create a Theurgistic spell

* Get the silver ore from the caves beneath Argentrock Isle.
* Take the ore to Korick the Smith and have him forge the tokens.
* Place the tokens, one at a time, on the Altar of Focus on Argentrock Isle.

The tokens are now charged foci and may be used at any time, as often as desired.
Note. Mana is used when you cast the spell.

SPELLS

Each focus weighs 1.

Divination (In Wis)
Effect This invocation reveals the Theurgist's location, time of day, day of the week, and current month.

Focus Arm Band

Reveal (Ort Lor)
Effect This spell releases a wave of energy that dispels invisibility from objects within the Theurgist's vicinity.

SORCERY

Sorcery is the study of otherworldly powers and beings that may be called upon for destructive purposes. Sorcerers function in Cabals -- one Master with four Acolytes. They walk a razor's edge: the Acolytes' power adds to that of the Master, but when an Acolyte becomes powerful enough, the master faces challenge or assassination. Most Masters take care of those who become a threat before true danger actually manifests. Many is the Acolyte who has become an offering to the powers involved in Sorcery ..

Touch the token to determine the number of charges it holds. Although the number of charges it take is largely chance, the caster's intelligence also affects spellcasting.

To create a Sorcerous spell

* Place spell's focus at the center of the pentagram. The foci (wand, rod, etc.) have to be as near the center of the pentagram as possible.
* Place candles (black or red, as indicated) at each point around the circle. Candles must be placed on the holders (centered) and be lit. Each spell has different places for black and red candles.
* Place the indicated reagents inside the point of the star, near the candles. The reagents must be as close to their respective candles as possible; in some cases you can place them on top of the candles.
* Stand outside the pentagram and double-click on it. The reagents disappear after the focus is enchanted, but the candles remain and can be reused.

Note. If any of the above criteria are not met then you will not be able to create the spell.
If there is something wrong, there will be a brief message. If you kneel down but the spell doesn't work, then the candles are correct -- the problem is either in the reagent' placement or you are not using the appropriate focus.

The focus is now charged and can be used to cast the spell at any time.

REAGENTS

[Version 2.10] Each individual reagent weighs 1 apiece.

[Version 2.11] Each individual reagent weighs 1/10th apiece.

Volcanic Ash

Intrinsic Forces Flame -- the refuse of the volcano has the property of creating the initial spark of fire.

Pumice

Intrinsic Forces Distance -- this rock, cast highest and farthest from the volcano, retains the etheric impetus built up in the flight.

Obsidian

Intrinsic Forces Duration -- while seeming to be a fragile, easily broken substance, it endures the heat of the volcano.

Pig Iron

Intrinsic Forces Protection -- iron's hard yet versatile nature works in protective Sorcery as no other reagent can.

Brimstone

Intrinsic Forces Power -- this is the rock that burns or, more to the point in Sorcery, explodes. A virtually limitless source of power dwells within its etheric composition.

Daemon Bone

Intrinsic Forces Summoning/Binding -- having taken a hint from the Necromancers, the Cabal found that Bone does, indeed, retain its tie to life. It is even useful in the ritual of binding when enough power is at hand. Daemonic forces are summoned and controlled by use of this reagent.

FOCI

Each focus weighs 1, regardless of quantity.

Symbol

Wand

Rod

Staff (only one)
Location: Malchir

Daemon Talisman

SPELLS

Mana is used only to charge the foci, not to cast the spell.

A focus can only hold one kind of spell at a time, although it can hold multiple charges of that spell.

Unfortunately, I must now make a slight modification to the text in the book with regard to relaying the placement of candles and reagents with respect to the Sorcerer's Pentagram. Please refer to the numbered points of the pentacle on the diagram below.

Summon Daemon (Kal Flam Corp Xen)
Effect This ritual of binding summons a "common" daemon to attack one creature of the Sorcerer's choice. The dangerous nature of this spell lies in the fact that if no victim is specified as soon as the creature appears, the daemon will attack the Sorcerer. After accomplishing its task, the daemon will be "loose" unless banished.
Mana 18-23
Reagents Ash, Daemon Bone, Obsidian, Pumice
Foci Daemon Talisman or Symbol*

Banish Daemon (An Flam Corp Xen)
Effect As the name so plainly states, this spell will usually return a daemon to its home in the fire of the volcano. Unfortunately, even the most skilled Sorcerers have been known to attempt an unsuccessful banishment, which only draws the daemon's attention to the Sorcerer.
Mana 18-23
Reagents Ash, Daemon Bone, Iron
Foci Daemon Talisman or Symbol*

1	2	3	4	5
Red	Black	Red	Red	Red
Daemon Bone	Ash	Iron	Iron	Pumice

* As it is not the most stable focus, the Sorcerer's symbol of the pentagram can only retain one charge for [this spell].

Conflagration (Kal Vas Flam Corp Xen)
Effect This is the most powerful ritual that the Sorcerer's Cabal has revealed. If any greater exists, only they know about it. By use of this spell, a malicious force of fire manifests near the caster, where it then commences to wreak savage destruction on all things nearby.
Mana 22-27
Duration Approximately 20 seconds
Reagents Ash, Brimstone, Daemon Bone, Iron, Pumice, Obsidian
Foci Daemon Talisman or Symbol*

1	2	3	4	5

* As it is not the most stable focus, the Sorcerer's symbol of the pentagram can only retain one charge for [this spell].

THAUMATURGY

Thaumaturgy is a relatively rare form of magic on Pagan. It results form the study of all magic and therefore touches on all of the powers the others possess, to greater or lesser degrees. Due to the extremely rare and costly nature of certain of the reagents, some of which to not seem to exist any longer on Pagan, if they ever did, it is a discipline that creates more curiosity than it provided answers. Only Mythran sells either the spellbooks or the reagents, and there is no other source for the books.

To create a Thaumaturgic spell

* Put the spellbook in a pouch.
* Put the reagents in the pouch.
* Use the book.

The spell is then ready and can be cast by using the book.

TEMPESTRY

Tempestry is an inherited covenant with Hydros, Titan of Water. It is impossible to "acquire" these powers; one is born with them. It gives the Tempest the power to control the water and storms, clouds and lightning. Only true Tempests can wield this magic, and they need no material components.
