Kewl! It is a valuable resource and should be shared. I'll start putting it in the "resources for fantasy hero" section.

Re: The Grimoire Project

 

Cosian's Hunting Hound

 

This spell conjures a hunting dog to be a helper and boon companion to the casting wizard. The conjured dog is very loyal to the wizard, and will fight for him if the need arises. The creature is intelligent, as dogs go, and can understand simple verbal commands so long as they are nothing more than a couple of words and relatively simple. Hounds summoned by this spell are capable of hunting and tracking, and are skilled enough at it that they can usually hunt sufficiently well to feed the wizard (and itself), provided there is game in the surrounding area.

 

When the spell ends (that is, when the dog has served the caster for a number of days equal to the caster's EGO score), the dog fades back into the nothingness from which it came.

Spell #150

 

 

Cosian's Sparkle Beam

 

This spell calls forth a sparkling golden ray. Any living creature struck by the beam is temporarily blinded. The true function of this spell, however, is its use against undead, demons, and other such foul creatures of darkness.

Re: The Grimoire Project

 

Cosian's Starlight

 

This spell, a variation of the Create Light spell, illuminates an area as brightly as a cloudless outdoor night sky filled with stars. The light thus created is pale and wan, and dilutes vision mostly to black and white. Full visual acuity is possible only out to a range of 10 yards, but general identification can be made out to 20 yards. Stationary figures can be made out at 40 yards, and movement detected out to 80 yards. Intervening cover will, of course, reduce sighting distances accordingly and there are ample shadows within the area of effect to hide in.

Cosian's Wall of Darkness

 

This spell brings into being a wall of blackness which cannot be seen or heard through. It has no physical existence, and does not hinder nor harm those passing through it. It does, however, block the passage of sight and sound from one side to the other, assuming that the spell is not cast in such a way (such as in a field of grass) which would otherwise allow sound to move around the edges of the wall.

Re: The Grimoire Project

 

Dark Puppet

 

Upon casting this spell, the actions of the Wizard's shadow are reproduced in the physical world. Thus, if the Wizard's shadow throttles a target's shadow, the victim will begin to gag and choke for air. Likewise, if the shadow of a weapon is grasped, the actual weapon will move according the commands of the Wizard. Due to the difficulty of maintaining the actions of his shadow, however, the Wizard must maintain a sharp focus throughout the duration of the spell. This spell will not function if there are no shadows.

The spell cannot be cast so as to use a living creature as the "bomb".
