Ye Olde Spellbook Creation Thread

[Rovikstead]

I want you all to know how thankful I am of all of your contributions to the spellbook and how great and creative they are! I'm adding the rest of the suggestions right now. I'll post a thread on my species index afterwards.

[Shwe Tu Colony]

Name: Mac's Minor Restoration
Category: Restoration
Effects: Restores 5% of health to all allies & self, further heals 1% of health to all allies & self for ten more actions (OOC: Could either be posts or actions in posts; either works), & greatly reduces chance of being affected by mind-related debuffs
Magika Cost: MM

Extra Comments or Variables: One of Mac's abilities, although he rarely uses it.

Name: 11 O'Clock Number

Extra Comments or Variables: One of Mac's abilities.

Name: Patter Song

Name: Pièce de Résistance

Name: Ross
Category: Illusion, Creation, Destruction

Magika Cost: Varies based on what you're converting

Extra Comments or Variables: For example, you can convert white-painted walls into melting silver. The spell is based on surrealist paintings where one object slowly becomes another, such as a bunch of clouds becoming a ship. Ross's main ability, it's also one of his only abilities.

As can clearly be seen, most of Mac's abilities are based on music.

Who's Mac?

[Shwe Tu Colony]

Who's Mac?

One of my characters who I decided to mention the name of for some reason; I'm not quite thinking straight, I'm feeling a bit too happy & bubbly right now. Mac is supposed to be the avatar of my world's creator & the god of the mind. He definitely has better spells, but since this spellbook is not supposed to include his best stuff, I didn't add them.

Well, I appreciate your participation. These spells look interesting. I'll be sure to add them into the spellbook soon and be sure to credit you.

[Segral]

Name: Shakers' Curse
Category: Necromancy

Effects: This is a very deadly curse. Once inflicted by this curse, nothing happens at first. But, as time goes on, the body begins to shake strangely. It first starts with minor tremors in the fingers and toes, difficulty gripping onto things. Then it becomes severe, and begins to spread to the hands and feet. By this point, it is difficult to walk in a straight line without losing balance, or to have any hand-eye coordination. Soon, the tremors spread to the arms and legs, particularly inflicting the elbows, knees, and shoulders. Eventually, your whole body begins to be inflicted with horrible tremors, making it impossible to walk without support, to grasp anything without dropping it, to speak clearly. Even the eyes are afflicted, darting around in their sockets. Eventually, these tremors become uncontrollable spasms, which become fits. You now are unable to walk and can barely sit, speak only gibberish for your tongue won't stop moving, can only see blurred images for your eyes won't stop moving, can barely guide your hands to touch something. You're doomed.

Magika Cost: HH

Extra Comments or Variables:

One day after curse: Minor tremors in fingers/toes
One week: Hands and feet become afflicted
Two to three weeks: Limbs are afflicted
One month: Rest of the body, especially neck and spine, are afflicted
Six weeks: Sensory organs begin to rattle, affecting senses, particularly sight
Two months: Spasms begin to occur
Three months: Fits begin to occur
Six months: Very limited movement and sensory input, final stage

Apologies for double posting, but here's a few more.

Name: Auditorox
Category: Divination
Effects: Allows user to hear what is going on in other locations. To use this ability, the user must know where they want to hear, and must have at least a faint picture of it in their heads. Once used, they may hear, with full clarity what is occurring what is happening in that area. The user can hold this power for up to a minute, but it can be recast.
Magika Cost: HS

Extra Comments or Variables: After thirty seconds, quality starts to degrade slightly, becoming slightly quieter and a little fuzzier. By 45 seconds, there is a noticeable quality decrease, as certain words/syllables begin to disappear and volume begins to fluctuate slightly. By 55 seconds, five seconds before all hearing is lost, it's extremely quiet and very hard to pick out words between each other. However, the spell can be recast with the same variables as demonstrated.


Name: Vortex
Category: Destruction
Effects: The user can create a powerful, destructive vortex able to be held in the hands of the user. The vortex with medium to high amounts of force and velocity, can suck in objects and immediately destroy them. This is useful for destroying small objects/pieces of information/wands. But, it cannot suck in a person, only remove appendages from them or leave them with large wounds.

Magika Cost: H

Extra Comments or Variables: The vortex is very unstable and can injure the user as well. Good magical proficiency is recommended to safely use this spell.
