Necromancy (NeXT)

Necromancy

One of the darkest forms of magic, Necromancy is the manipulation of dark energies that result from the great Darkness in the universe. These powers, while not inherantly evil, are present to twist, bend, and destroy things, to remove them from the natural order of the universe. The dead walk, the seeing are blind, and poisons and toxins can ravage a countryside all in the interest of the will of the user.

Necromancy can only be cast by the Necromancy school of magic, which in turn requires Elemental Affinity: Darkness to possess.
__________________________________________________________________________

0 Level Necromancy 5 MP to cast, 5 Spell Points

Acid Splash - Deals +500 unsoakable damage to a single target.
Arcane Mark - Inscribes a personal rune on an object or creature (visible or invisible). Detectable by Detect Magic whether visible or not.
Bleed - Allows the caster to de-stabilize a creature that is "Bleeding Out." This forces the target creature to resume taking normal "bleed" damage and advance towards the death threshold. The target can be restabilized after this spell is cast. This spell has no effect on creatures that are above 0 HP or are already "Bleeding Out."
Detect Charm - Use extrasensory perception to recognize unnatural mental/emotional influences (magic, psionic, drug-induced, etc.) active within two Areas.
Detect Magic - Detects magical auras within one Area for (Mage Level) actions; this spell allows closer inspection the more time is dedicated to it. First, the presence of an aura; then how many and how strong each is; then, further inspection can allow checks to further determine the specifics of the aura. Overly powerful auras may mask weaker ones, and magic-rich areas may distort the effect.
Detect Poison - Allows the caster to determine whether an object, creature, or item is poisoned. Poisons can come in different varieties, potencies, and types, and this spell allows the caster to generally detect toxins, venoms, chemicals, food, water, or inanimate objects that could harm that caster. This spell will also detect airborne poisons, ranging from carbon monoxide to Sarin gas, and will determine whether a particular poison is natural or supernatural in effect.
Dancing Lights - Create up to (Mage Level/2) floating lights that offer the same amount of light as a lantern or torch. If this spell is cast more than once, the previous instances of light wink out. These lights can move up to (Mage Level) Areas away from the caster; beyond that, the light will dissipate. These offer visibility in low-light or dark areas, can be different colors, and these lights can function in lieu of flashlights or torches.
Flare - Creates a blinding flash of light directly in front of one target, inflicting the "Blind" status effect beginning at Mild, adding +1 Severity level per 2 Mage Levels. This effect lasts for 1d5 rounds. This does not affect sightless targets or targets that are already suffering that status effect. [Magic Defense Only]
Ghost Sound - Create phantom sounds at a particular location; once the type and placement of a sound is specified, it cannot be changed until it is either dispelled or fades naturally. You can produce as much noise as four normal humans per Mage Level (maximum 40 humans). Thus, talking, singing, shouting, walking, marching, or running sounds can be created. The noise a ghost sound spell produces can be virtually any type of sound within the volume limit. A horde of rats running and squeaking is about the same volume as eight humans running and shouting. A roaring lion is equal to the noise from 16 humans, while a roaring dragon is equal to the noise from 32 humans. [Magic Defense Only]
Light - Give an object a torch-like glow for (Mage Level) rounds that will illuminate up to (Mage Level/2) Areas around the lit item. Only one Light spell can be active at a time; if it is cast again on another object, the previous Light will fade.
Mending - Allows the caster to gradually repair inanimate objects. All of the object's pieces, or replacements for it, must be present in order to proceed. This cannot create new objects, does not conjure tools or parts, nor is it an instant effect. A caster's Mage Level improves the caster's ability to Mend more complicated objects (GM discretion).
Message - Allows a caster to whisper cross a distance; up to (Mage Level) specific targets can both hear and reply to (Mage Level) messages transmitted this way. This is not inaudible, but non-targeted creatures must pass a Perception check against a casting roll to discern the sound. This is not line-of-sight, and can travel up to (Mage Level) Areas away from the target, including through thin barriers (glass, a simple door, a thin wall, etc.) or through gaps in larger barriers (through an open doorway in a wall, an open window, etc.)
Open/Close - Allows the caster to open or close objects at a distance, including doors, windows, chests, barrels, boxes, etc. If something is preventing that object from simply opening (a lock, a bar, a latch, etc.) that object does not open. Large or heavy objects (a reinforced door, a bulkhead, etc.) may not work with this spell, depending on the caster's Mage Level (GM discretion).
Spark - Allows the caster to ignite flammable objects. This function grows more powerful as a character's mage level increases; the Level 0 version is equivalent to using flint and steel, so as the character progresses, its Mage Level determines how potent its Spark is. A master mage may be able to ignite rocket fuel inside an engine.

1st Level Necromancy 10 MP to cast, 10 Spell Points

Alarm - Allows a caster to create a subtle ward on a selected Area. Once the spell effect is in place, it thereafter sounds a mental or audible alarm each time a creature enters the warded area or touches it. A creature that speaks the password (determined at the time of casting) does not set off the alarm. The caster decides at the time of casting whether the alarm will be mental or audible in nature. Mental Alarm: A mental alarm alerts you (and only you) so long as you remain within a reasonable distance of the warded area. The caster notes a single mental "ping" that can awaken the caster from normal sleep but does not otherwise disturb concentration. Audible Alarm: An audible alarm produces the sound of a hand bell. The sound lasts for 1 round.
Animate Rope - You can animate a nonliving rope-like object. The possible commands are "coil" (form a neat, coiled stack), "coil and knot," "loop," "loop and knot," "tie and knot," and the opposites of all of the above ("uncoil," and so forth). Commands can be given once per round as a support action; this includes directly interacting with an enemy. The rope does not deal damage, but it can be used as a trip line or to cause a single opponent that fails a Reaction check against the caster's magic roll to become entangled. Targets can use a standard action to fight off the coil, dealing its physical or magical damage against the caster's Spell Level damage as if it were the rope's hit points. The rope itself and any knots tied in it are not magical. The spell cannot affect objects carried or worn by a creature.
Ant Haul - Allows a caster to add (Mage Level * 3) Item Slots to a target's carrying capacity. These slots are temporary, and will wear off within (Mage Level) hours or when the party reaches a "rest point" (GM determination). Any items slotted in these temporary Item Slots when the spell ends are dropped immediately.
Break - This spell allows a caster to damage an inanimate object; this can break doors, shatter boxes, or damage components on vehicles. If used against a vehicle, this spell deals one "hit" of damage to a targeted hardpoint. Otherwise, GM-determined damage can be done to other inanimate objects.
Bungle - This spell inflicts a roll penalty on a single target's next action (including dodges and non-combat actions) equal to the caster's (Mage Level * 2) (-20 at Level 10).
Cause Fear - This spell grants a bonus of +2 per mage level(+20 at L10) to a Speechcraft check for the purposes of intimidation. Requisite MP is spent for this spell each time it is used.
Charm Person - This charm makes a humanoid creature regard the caster as its trusted friend and ally (treat the target's attitude as friendly). If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by the caster or its allies, however, it receives a rolls astep higher against this spell. The spell does not enable the caster to control the charmed person as if it were an automaton, but it perceives the caster's words and actions in the most favorable way. The target will not do something it would ordinarily not do, but Speechcraft checks can be made with more favorable conditions to persuade it. (Retries are not allowed.) An affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing. Any act by the caster or its apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell. This effect otherwise lasts for 1d5 actions, or will fade when the caster leaves the target's immediate area.
Compel Hostility - The character is able to direct the attention of (Mage Level) monsters and other nonsentient or semi-sentient creatures to a specific target instead of others. This effect lasts for 5 rounds. This spell is considered a "self buff" rather than a targetted spell, and creatures who may attack others around the targetted object/character must roll Magic Defense vs. DC50 + 10/Mage Level (150 at Level 10).
Corrosive Touch - This spell allows a caster to reduce the effectiveness of armor until it's repaired. Inflicts magic damage to Physical Soak (not magic!) on armor pieces until the armor is repaired.
Crafter's Curse - This spell inflicts a mild curse on a target's creative faculties. The next Craft check by the target suffers a (caster's Mage Level * 2) (-20 at Level 10) roll penalty. Each time this bonus is used, costs level-requisite MP.
Damp Powder - This spell causes ammunition already loaded into the target firearm to be ruined with moisture. Any attempt to fire the weapon fails, with no chance for misfire, and the user must then take a full-round action to clear the weapon before reloading and firing it.
Dancing Lantern - Allows a target light source to follow the caster; this can be a listed item or otherwise, but must be on-hand. The light does not require power, batteries, fuel, or other similar prerequisites. It hovers about shoulder-height and will follow the caster at its speed. The spell ends after 1d5 move actions.
Deathwatch - When this spell is cast, the character detects characters between 0 HP and their Death Threshold (or similar effect on NPCs) within (Mage Level) Areas for 5 rounds.
Delusional Pride - This spell inflicts a severe sense of hubris on a single target, bolstering his/her self-confidence to annoying levels... however, that sense of self also protects them from exterior influences. The subject of this spell receives a roll penalty of (Mage Level * 2) (-20 at Level 10) to skill checks and physical combat rolls for (Mage Level) rounds, but receives a roll bonus of (Mage Level * 2) (+20 at Level 10) magic and magic defense rolls, as well as defensive checks vs. Intimidation, Diplomacy, and "Charm"-like effects.
Detect Secret Doors - Allows the caster to detect secret doors, compartments, caches, and so forth. Only passages, doors, or openings that have been specifically constructed to escape detection are detected by this spell. This can be used to allow Search checks to roll one step higher. This spell can penetrate small barriers, and the effect lasts for 5 checks.
Detect Undead - Allows the caster to detect the aura that surrounds undead creatures. This effect lasts for 5 rounds, and can be used to enhance Perception checks by one step particularly regarding looking for undead creatures.
Disguise Self - Allows the caster to change the appearance of itself, its clothing, equipment, and whatever it's carrying. The character cannot change its size rating, its race, but can change its hair or skin color, sex, or other external appearances. The character still feels and sounds the same. This can be used to allow a character to roll a step higher on Disguise checks. Anything that interacts with the character gets a Magic Defense check against the original casting check to see through the illusion. This effect lasts for an hour.
Doom - The character is able to strike a target with a -2 bonus/Mage Level to one specific skill for 5 rounds (-20 at Level 10).
Ear-Piercing Scream - This spell allows the caster to create a banshee's scream, emanating powerful sonic waves to damage and disorient targets. Inflicts Force-based damage (+500) and Mild "Pain" status for (Mage Level) rounds.
Endure Elements - Allows the caster to target (Mage Level) creatures, permitting them to endure reasonable environmental discomforts. These can include hot or cold temperatures, increasing in severity as the caster's Mage Level goes up. A target's equipment is likewise protected. Endure elements doesn't provide any protection from elemental damage, nor does it protect against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth.
Entropic Shield - The character is able to place a buffering shield of spiritual energy around themselves or another target. When a ranged or magical attack is used against the shielded subject, caster adds +5/Mage Level to their Dodge check for 5 rounds.
Erase - Allows a caster to remove writings of either magical or mundane nature. Nonmagical writing is automatically erased if no one else is holding it. To erase magical writing, the caster must defeat an opposing roll; failure on this spell will trigger magical writing.
Forbid Action - The character is able to spiritually bar a target from performing one simple action, such as movement or speaking. Breathing or similar functions are not affected.
Hold Portal - This spell magically holds shut a door, gate, window, shutter, or similar object. The magic affects the portal just as if it were securely closed and normally locked with a latch. Any attempts to open this portal must be made against the caster's roll, whether physical or magical. This effect lasts for 1d5 rounds.
Hypnotism - Allows a character to use gestures and droning incantation to fascinate nearby targets, causing them to stop and stare blankly. While under this effect, the character's suggestions and requests seem more plausible. Only creatures that can see or hear the caster are affected, but they do not need to understand it to be fascinated. If in combat, targets roll a step higher on their Magic Defense against this effect. Any requests must be brief and reasonable. Even after the spell ends, the creature retains its new attitude toward you, but only with respect to that particular request. A creature that fails its saving throw does not remember that you enspelled it. A character gets an additional request per Mage Level.
Interrogation - This spell creates a magical curse on a single target that forces them to either tell the truth under questioning or suffer pain. Lasts for (Mage Level) rounds/actions per cast, and deals the caster's base magic damage for every conscious lie told while under the curse's effect (ignores lies of ignorance and omission).
Liberating Command - If the target is bound, grappled, or otherwise restrained, he may make an applicable check to escape as an immediate action, with a bonus of +5 per Mage Level.
Lock Gaze - Allows a caster to force a target to look at it and only it for the duration of the spell or until it is discharged. While staring at the caster, the target is considered to be distinctly averting its gaze from every other creature but the caster, granting other creatures Moderate "Concealment" status against that target's attacks. If the target leaves the caster's line of sight, it immediately suffers Mild "Blind" status for one round and the spell ends. If the caster willingly leaves the creatures's line of sight or are reduced to 0 HP, the target suffers no penalties.
Magic Missile - This spell creates a cluster of magical projectiles that barrage a single target. Creates 2 (+1 every 2 Mage Levels) (7 at Level 10) missiles that deal +200 spell damage apiece; however, when damage is entered, it counts as 1 hit for soak purposes).
Magic Stone - For 5 rounds, the character is able to imbue the Throwing Weapons, Bows, Crossbows, and other non-firearm ranged weapons of one target with their spiritual energy, adding 100 damage to the character's normal damage.
Magic Weapon - For 5 rounds, the character is able to imbue the weapons of one target with their spiritual energy, adding magic damage + 100 to the character's normal damage.
Memory Lapse - This spell addles a single target's memories, making it difficult for them to perform common tasks. Inflicts Mild "Lapse" status for (Mage Level) rounds.
Negative Reaction - Allows the caster to force a target to simply fail to impress, whether it's actions or words. This target suffers a (-2 per Mage Level) penalty to any Speechcraft checks for the next 1d5 rounds.
Obscuring Mist - The user is able to conjure a thick mist in the Area they occupy. Anyone inside of it suffers from Mild "Blind" status. The mist lasts for 5 rounds.
Peacebond - This spell prevents a target from drawing or summoning a weapon. Magic defense only; if the target fails the roll, it must spend a round drawing the weapon, or beat a Strength check, DC 25 (+15 * Mage Level) (DC 175 at Level 10), to draw as normal. This effect lasts for (Mage Level) rounds.
Ray of Enfeeblement - Allows the caster to create a coruscating ray from its hand at a single target. This subject suffers Mild "Feeble" status when first struck, and will last for 1d5 rounds. If struck by more Rays of Enfeeblement, that severity increases by one level for each successive attack, but once the original duration ends, the entire effect dissipates.
Restore Corpse - Allows the caster to grow flesh on a decomposed or skeletonized corpse of a Giant 1 or smaller creature, providing it with sufficient flesh that it can be animated, buried, or otherwise laid to rest. The corpse looks as it did when the creature died. The new flesh is somewhat rotted and not fit for eating.
Summon Monster I - The caster is able to summon a Level 1 creature for 5 rounds.
Sun Metal - The character is able to imbue a flaming quality to a melee weapon. Inflicts Mild "Enfire" status on a single target for 5 rounds.
Unprepared Combatant - This spell reduces a target's readiness before combat. If the spell succeeds against an enemy before combat begins or before its first turn, the target rolls its initiative with a (Mage Level * 10) penalty (no lower than half its normal value) and the first direct attack against the target forces it to roll flat-footed.
Weaken Powder - Allows a caster to weaken the charge or lessen a weapon's discharge velocity when fired, specifically regarding firearm-like weapons. For 1d5 rounds, the target's firearm damage is reduced by (-5% per Mage Level). If a target spends a standard action to reload the weapon, the effect is nullified.

Arcane Lock - This spell creates an illusory lock on a single object (a chest, a doorway, etc.) that cannot be picked. This spell, however, can be dispelled by magic instead, with a DC equal to that of the caster's lock-creating cast. This lock lasts until it is dispelled.
Arrow Eruption - This spell, when cast on a single target, creates an explosion of projectiles outwards if that target is killed by a firearm or a bow/crossbow. This effect lasts for (Mage Level) rounds, and acts as a grenade-like effect if the target is killed by a projectile attack within the effect's duration: all targets in the Area must roll Flat-Foot dodge, DC 50 (+10 * Mage Level) (DC150 at Level 10) to avoid damage equal to that of the projectile that killed the target.

Death Knell - Deals +1000 magic damage to a target; if that target is killed (reduced below Death Threshold, not just KO) by this spell, the caster's HP is restored by his/her magic damage and his/her Max HP is raised above normal limit by +500/Mage Level (+5000 at Level 10) for (Mage Level * 2) rounds.
Desecrate - The character is able to curse and defile (Mage Level) Areas with spiritual energy. When Undead-, Dark-, or Devil/Demon-type enemies enter these Areas, they are given Moderate "Regenerate" and Mild "Haste" statuses. These areas remain cursed for (Mage Level * 2) rounds.
Disfiguring Touch - With a touch, the caster causes the victim of this spell to suffer a painful curse that causes it to grow hideously disfigured.

False Life - This spell twists life energy into granting the caster only additional vitae. This spell grants the caster an additional (+500 * Mage Level) (+5000 at Level 10) to its Maximum HP, but does not restore it to that amount. This effect lasts for (Mage Level) rounds, and when that time is expired, HP is ripped from the caster by the aether, (-250 * Mage Level) (-2500 at Level 10), which cannot be restored except by 8 hours (or equivalent) of rest.
Feast of Ashes - The character is able to imbue a single target with famishment, making him/her ravenously hungry and weakened until sustenance is acquired. Until food or nutrients are absorbed in some way, target suffers from Moderate "Feeble" status.
Gentle Repose - This spell uses spiritual energy to preserve a deceased body and prevent it from decaying, either naturally or otherwise. Once cast, the spell will linger unless dispelled.

Ghostly Disguise - This novelty spell makes a target appear as a ghastly outline of itself, though it does not benefit from the incorporeal disguise beyond appearances. It is mostly transparent, a lightish tinge, and even walks with a floating appearance. This effect lasts for (Mage Level) rounds, and may be seen through with a Sensory Perception check, DC 25 (+15 * Mage Level) (DC 175 at Level 10).
Ghoul Touch - This spell infects a single target with a paralyzing curse, while also making its body appear to be a ghoulish apparition, with rotting flesh and a skeletal visage. Roll against 1 target; if target fails, inflicted with Acute "Pain" status for (Mage Level) rounds. Each additional round afterwards, each target in the same Area as the "infected" must roll Health vs. DC 10 (+10 * Mage Level) (DC 110 at Level 10) to avoid Moderate "Weak" status effect. This can be avoided by moving 1 Area away from the "infected," and if a target fails its Health roll, effects can be negated by moving away or by simply succeeding on the next round's Health roll.
Haunting Mists - A stationary illusion of misty vapor inhabited by shadowy shapes arises around the caster. This cloud covers (Mage Level / 2) (round up) (5 Areas at Level 10) areas for (Mage Level) rounds and inflicts Moderate "Blind" status effect on all characters inside of it, including negating Darkvision and Night Vision technology (thermal and other heat- or spirit-related vision is unaffected). This effect is considered automatic. While inside of the mist, any and all characters must roll magic defense vs. DC 50 (+10 * Mage Level) (DC150 at Level 10) each round; if the target fails, it suffers caster's base magic damage and Mild "Stop" effect for the next round due to fright.
Hideous Laughter - This spell enchants a target and curses it to bouts of manic, unstoppable laughter, causing it to double over with maniacal cackles. Magic defense only; if the target fails, suffers Moderate "Stop" effect for (Mage Level) rounds.
Instrument of Agony - A weapon is imbued with divine power for a short time. For five rounds, a targetted weapon grants a (Item Slots * 2) bonus to Intimidation checks.
Knock - This spell allows a user to open locked or sealed doors, both physically and magically. For physically locked doors, this spell allows a user to add +3 per mage level to a Lockpicking roll(+30 at L10), spending requisite MP each time the bonus is used. For magically locked doors, this spell is cast against that of the door's seal to break the magical lock, spending requisite MP with each attempt.
Levitate - Allows a target to levitate for (Mage Level) rounds, preventing tripping traps and nullifying Earth-based damage.
Mad Hallucination - This spell induces a hallucinogenic reality in the mind of a single target. Surfaces seem to swim, and movement constantly distracts the eye. Magic defense only; inflicts Mild "Slow" for (Mage Level) rounds.
Obscure Object - This spell is able to imbue a single inanimate object with spiritual energy to cloak it from scrying attempts. This effect is permanent unless dispelled, but can only be placed on a single object at a time by any one mage.
Oppressive Boredom - This spell makes a single target undeniably bored by his/her current task. Magic defense only; if the target fails against this spell once, he/she becomes frustratingly bored with his/her work/task -- excluding combat -- and has the urge to find something else to do. However, the next round/after a short time, the target is given another Magic Defense check, DC 25 (+10 * Mage Level) (DC125 at Level 10) to regain interest in his/her original task. This boredom feels natural to the subject.
Pernicious Poison - This spell increases the potency of any poison drawn into the body by 1 Severity level. This effect lasts until a poison is introduced into the body, or until it is dispelled.
Protection from Arrows - This spell grants a single target an enhanced defense against projectiles, such as guns, bows, or thrown weapons. This adds (+5 * Mage Level) (+50 at Level 10) to a target's dodge checks vs. projectiles for (Mage Level) rounds.

Shatter - The caster is able to project concentrated sound in a cone-like shape ahead of him/herself. This is considered "Force" elemental damage (+500), and is highly effective against glass- or crystal-like objects.
Silence - The character is able to mute all sound within (Mage Level) Areas. This does not inflict Silence status. The silence lasts for (Mage Level) rounds.
Sound Burst - The character is able to project a concentrated blast of sound waves at a single target. Deals +1000 magic damage to a single target and inflicts Mild Off-Guard status.

Web - This spell creates thick, sticky webbing in a wide area that impairs movement and sticks to any who cross. Creates webs in up to (Mage Level / 2) (round up) (5 at Level 10) Areas; any who cross into these Areas are subject to Acute "Slow" effect. Paths through the webbing can be cut with bladed weapons, DC 50 (+10 * Mage Level) (DC150 at Level 10), including the penalty, but any who follow the path do not suffer the penalty. The webbing is permanent until removed and will not regrow to cover paths unless recast.
Zone of Truth - The character is able to use spiritual energy to compel characters within 1 Area to tell the truth to the best of their knowledge. When a character attempts to tell a lie (even a lie by omission) inside of this Area, they must roll their magic defense vs. the original roll made by the caster. This effect lasts for (Mage Level) rounds.
