Jer'Khar

You breathe your maleficence into the area of effect. Everyone within the area of effect is subject to its peril (except you), but your maleficence deals zero damage.

You summon to your command a hivemind of your choosing. The volume of hiveminded creatures is equal to the spell's area of effect and the type of hivemind depends on where the spell is cast (an urban setting might summon rats, whereas a woodland setting might summon birds or insects). If the hivemind is used to cause harm, choose a maleficence of equivalent peril to deal damage to all those in the area of effect, once upon its summoning. The hivemind cannot be dispersed by mundane means and has no HP.

You summon to your command a group of animals of your choosing. The number of animals is equal to 1 per MP spent. The type of animals that can be called upon depends on where the spell is cast (an urban setting might summon stray dogs, whereas a woodland setting might summon wild boars). Unless the GM deems otherwise, the animals have 1 HP, 3 in all attributes, and are fearless for the duration of the spell.

You create a minor earthquake in the area of effect that shakes the ground and opens fissures in the earth. All within the area of effect (except you) must make a Deft check vs. your spell check on the first round of the spell's casting, or fall into a fissure. Those who succeed remain standing, but risk having to check again if they move within the area of effect, or take action that compromises their standing; those who fail suffer 1d6 falling damage and must spend a round climbing out. You must concentrate on working the spell for its duration, otherwise the earth seals back up.

You shape your maleficence into a cloak that surrounds you or your target in magical energy. Choose a type: cold, fire, sound, lightning, force, or light/shadow. For the duration of the spell, magical sources of harm from the chosen element are reduced by 50%, rounded down in your favor. You may cast this spell multiple times to improve the protection (down to 1 point of damage) and choose different elements each time. If you are attacked (whether successfully or not), your maleficence inflicts a peril matching the element chosen and deals zero damage.

For 1 MP, you or the target you touch grows twice as large or twice as small in physical size; for 2 MP, the growth/shrinking is tripled; for 3 MP, quadrupled. Victims shrunk or enlarged in this way retain their abilities and attributes but may be more difficult to grapple than they were in their original forms.

You generate a source of light per inanimate object touched. The illumination fills a single encounter space. The light cannot be extinguished unless the object is destroyed. This effect lasts 1 hour per MP spent.

You manifest poltergeists to haunt the area of effect. This haunting lasts for 1 hour per MP spent. While the spellcaster does not have control over what the poltergeists might do in the area of effect, they will seek to cause chaos and unrest at every opportunity, frustrating the aims of anyone living who attempts to inhabit the space. The poltergeists may cause harm inadvertently, but they are not murderous and would rather their victims suffer mental anguish than perish.

You conjure into existence a rainbow of color that serves as a physical bridge between two locations within the area of effect. All those standing within a personal space of the bridge's starting point are carried to the bridge's endpoint, and the bridge may be crossed side-by-side by as many people as can fit in a personal space.

You conjure into existence a physical sanctuary of your imagining which occupies the area of effect. This sanctuary functions as a safe space for you and as many companions as can fit inside to seek shelter and recover for 1 hour per MP spent. When you cast this spell, you may choose to increase the spell's duration by 1 hour for each space you decrease its area of effect, down to a personal space. The sanctuary is magically protected from mundane elements (rain, snow, heat, etc) and contains an environment pleasing to the spellcaster. It can have many physically locked portals (such as windows or doors) as MP spent—make a spell check to set a TN for intrusion—but is otherwise as vulnerable to attack as any mundane structure would be.

You manifest ectoplasmic material into the mundane world in the shape of objects you imagine. You can create a volume of this shadowstuff equal to the area of effect, in a variety of forms or number you determine. Shadowstuff is highly fragile and cannot be used in the making of objects with intricate components. More than a cursory examination of a shadowstuff object reveals its false nature.

You physically shapeshift a single target other than yourself into a form of your choosing, and they adopt the physical capabilities of that form. For 1 MP, the form may be humanoid and of the same approximate mass and size as their natural form. For every additional 2 MP spent, the form may be other than humanoid (including inanimate objects), and twice as large or as small. You must have prior, firsthand knowledge of the form you attempt to shapeshift your target into, and you may not replicate any specific person. While shapeshifted, your target adopts the physical qualities of the form they've been shapeshifted into. The GM has discretion to alter their freedom of movement or attributes and abilities to suit the fiction.
