When cast, a silver bolt flies from the caster's hand. However, it does no damage to inanimate objects, but bounces off them until it finds a living target or until the bolt reaches its maximum range. If the caster fails to hit his target the spell bounces straight back at him.]

When cast, the mage must specify what circumstance will trigger the power.]

40 Remove Energy: Drain END 4d6 [Notes: Sorcerers using this spell have the ability to drain an enemy's power. The caster usually prefers to steal this energy, but this spell removes more power from its target than the sorcerer's ability to absorb magic. This spell is, therefore used when the mage wishes to remove large amounts of energy from an enemy.]

18 Repel Unclean: FW (10 PD), Transparent to ED Attacks (+1/2) (37 Active Points); Custom Modifier (Only versus the Unclean; -1) [Notes: The caster creates a glimmering golden wall that prevents the passage of the unclean.

60 Resist Magic: Energy Damage Reduction, Resistant, 50%, Custom Modifier (All Magic; +2) (90 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2) [Notes: Spellcasters, possessing the abilities they do, are capable of preparing themselves to resist attacks of a magical nature.

The mage is protected by repeated bands of glowing gold light which move down from his head to the ground, increasing speed as the environment grows harsher.]

8 Resistance Spell: Resistance (10 points) (10 Active Points); Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4) [Notes: This spell allows the caster to resist interrogation and questioning, by distancing his mind from the discomforts of his body]

This spell allows the wizard to magically knit the shattered limb back together, holding it in place until the body can repair itself. The limb can be used while healing, but it will not be fully functional for several months]

25 Restore Mind: Healing BODY 3d6, any [special effect] power one at a time (any one mental characteristic; +1/4) (37 Active Points); Extra Time (Full Phase, -1/2) [Notes: This spell enables the caster to restore a person's mental condition back to normal.]

22 Revivify Wood: Minor Transform 6d6 (Dead wood to living plant) (60 Active Points); Gradual Effect (1 Hour; -1 1/4), OIF (Wood of the Desired Type; -1/2) [Notes: Upon casting this spell, the Wizard curls up in a ball and begins rolling down a slope, picking up speed as he goes. The spell ends when the caster reaches level ground, or gradually comes out of the curled position and tumbles to a stop. The Wizard has some control over his descent, but must drop at least 1" for each 2" of lateral movement.]

32 Rolling Rock: Telekinesis (30 STR), Custom Modifier (+1d6N Damage per 2" Move, -1 OCV per 1" Move, 0), (-1" area across soft surface, +1 area across hard surface, 0; +0), Area Of Effect Nonselective (5" Any Area; +3/4) (79 Active Points); Custom Modifier (Only to move rock along ground; -1/2), Custom Modifier (Area must follow line of movement; -1/2), Custom Modifier (Must continue from last hex ; -1/2) [Notes: The Wizard can use this spell to move a massive boulder of stone weighing up to 1.6 tons (1" diameter boulder) about, crushing everything in its path.

Whenever the boulder enters a hex containing a target, make a 6d6 Punch Attack using the 30 STR TK. For each 2" of movement rate, the boulder causes an additional 1d6N damage. However, the rock is also -1 OCV per 1" of movement.]

19 Rope Trick: (Total: 80 Active Cost, 19 Real Cost) Extra-Dimensional Movement (Single Dimension), 1 Continuing Charge lasting 6 Hours (+0), Continuous (+1), Usable Simultaneously (up to 16 people at once; +1 1/4) (65 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), -1 1/4), OAF (OAF - length of rope; -1), Custom Modifier (Can only access pocket through single portal; -1/2), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4) (Real Cost: 16) plus Telekinesis (10 STR), 1 Continuing Charge lasting 6 Hours (+0) (15 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), -1 1/4), OAF (length of rope; -1), Linked (Extra-Dimensional Movement; -1/2), Custom Modifier (Only to lift rope to portal; -1/2), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4) (Real Cost: 3) [Notes: This useful spell creates a temporary pocket of extradimensional space where the Wizard and his friends can rest for a few hours. The portal to the pocket appears at a selected height above the ground, and the end of the rope will rise up to meet it. The rope can be drawn through the portal to hide it from view, but one end will always remain attached to the opening. The pocket is extremely utilitarian, being some 3" square with smooth grey sides. The portal will admit up to 16 human-sized beings into the pocket, including the Wizard. It can then be closed from the inside to hide any trace of the spell. When the spell expires, the contents of the pocket are rudely ejected through the portal. The interior begins to shimmer slightly a turn before it expires.]

11 Rot Wood: RKA 2d6, Area Of Effect (One Hex; +1/2) (45 Active Points); Gradual Effect (1 Hour; -1 1/4), Custom Modifier (Only versus non-living wood; -1), Custom Modifier (Does no stun damage; -1/2), No Knockback (-1/4) [Notes: Any non-living wood in the target hex will becomes infested with termites, ants, mold, and other sources of rot. The wood quickly becomes weak and brittle as a result, losing the ability to support large loads or effectively block an opening. Note that this spell can reduce a large number of paper scrolls to dust, but it has no effect on vellum parchment or stone tablets.]

18 Rubbbery Transformation: Physical Damage Reduction, Resistant, 75% (60 Active Points); Custom Modifier (protection reduced by 25% versus pointed/sharp objects; -1), Custom Modifier (Caster takes double knockback from physical attacks ; -1/2), Costs Endurance (-1/2), Limited Power Power loses about a fourth of its effectiveness (50% resistant, 75% to normal; -1/4) [Notes: This spell transforms the caster temporarily so that he is extremely flexible, bouncy, and rubbery. Blunt weapons, impact, and falling damage have little effect in this state, but do double knockback on the wizard. Falling damage causes the caster to bounce in a random direction as though the falling damage did knockback.

The caster can attempt to control the direction of his bounces (off walls, floors, ceilings, people) by making a DEX roll at -5 (or acrobatics at -2) upon impact (but only if he sees it coming). Bladed or piercing weapons do more damage to the caster, but damage inflicted is still reduced. Magical attacks may or may not injure the caster; heat, cold, and most energy will damage him normally, but force attacks are resisted as blunt weapons.

The mage's equipment is transformed in the same fashion, and remains rubbery as long as he does. If the mage bounces into a person, he may do damage or knock them over, at the GM's discretion.]

70 Rubbery Aura: (Total: 105 Active Cost, 70 Real Cost) Physical Damage Reduction, Resistant, 75% (60 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2) (Real Cost: 40) plus Leaping +5" (7"/13" forward, 3 1/2"/6 1/2" upward) (5 Active Points); Linked (Damage Reduction; -1/2) (Real Cost: 3) plus Minor Transform 4d6 (Objects become rubbery) (40 Active Points); Linked (Damage Reduction; -1/2) (Real Cost: 27) [Notes: This spell causes the mage to be surrounded by a field of magic, which causes anything he touches to become unnaturally resilient and rubbery. In effect, anything which comes in contact with the mage will become bouncy, stretchable, and rubbery as detailed in the lesser spell Rubbery Transformation. However, these things return to normal when they are outside of the mage's contact. Large objects are only rubbery in a local area around the mage's touch, perhaps in a radius of 1 metre from the mage's touch.

This allows the mage to bend bars open, bounce on the ground like it was a trampoline, and ignore most purely physical damage. A sword blow will flex into uselessness when it hits the mage, and is sproinged right off his body. See the Rubbery Transformation spell for details. ]

15 Rust Iron: RKA 1d6, Area Of Effect (One Hex; +1/2), Penetrating (+1/2) (30 Active Points); Custom Modifier (Only vs Iron; -1) [Notes: This spell will cause any iron within the hex target to rust, becoming weak and brittle. Multiple applications of this spell will be required to weaken larger iron structures. This spell has no effect on other metals or rust-proof ferrous alloys.]

33 Rust Metal: Drain BODY 3d6, Delayed Return Rate (points return at the rate of 5 per Week; +1 3/4) (82 Active Points); Custom Modifier (only against metal objects; -1), Extra Time (Full Phase, -1/2) [Notes: A mage can cause any metal to corrode rapidly, thereby weakening it and making it more brittle.]

Powers Cost: 844
