* AZALTA * ----------------------------------- - BOOK OF SPELLS - ----------------------------------- Abbreviations Used: INT = Intelligence required to cast spell POW = Power in MagicPoints required to cast spell -- a '+' after this number means that a variable amount of additional MP may be spent, depending on the strength required. A spell's 'Target' may be one of: Any = The mouse is used to select any target on the screen. Missile = The target must be reachable by an unobstructed and straight line-of-fire. Touch = The target must be touched directly by the spell- caster. **************************************************************** 1 Awaken This most basic of spells is used simply to wake up a sleeping person or creature. An "antidote" for the Sleep spell. The power required depends on how deep the sleep is. INT: 4 POW: 1+ Target: Any 2 Magic Missile A handy attack spell for low-level magic-users, while still deadly when cast by more powerful ones. This spell creates an "arrow" of pure energy and lets the caster fire it at whom he/she pleases. INT: 8 POW: 3+ Target: Missile 3 Thaw This spell is used to free a person or creature who has been frozen, usually from a Freeze or Blizzard spell cast by another. The power required depends on the extent of the freezing. INT: 10 POW: 6+ Target: Any 4 Magic Footprints When this spell is cast, the caster's feet will leave a trail of glowing footprints behind wherever he/she walks. Can be useful when lost in a dungeon. The lasting power of this effect is determined by the level of the magic-user. INT: 12 POW: 8 5 Sleep This spell is useful in many a battle situation. It may be used to help the caster escape by putting an attacker to sleep and then running away, or the caster may be a bit more vicious and decide to attack his defenseless sleeping enemy. The amount of power put into the spell determines how long the victim will sleep. INT: 15 POW: 10+ Target: Any 6 Unlock With this spell the magic-user can magically unlock a locked door without the use of a key. INT: 20 POW: 12 Target: Touch 7 Remove Poison This useful spell has saved many an adventurer's life. It negates any poisons that may be in a person's or creature's bloodstream. The power required for success depends on the strength of the poison involved -- a bee sting is much easier to cure than a deadly snake bite. INT: 22 POW: 16+ Target: Touch 8 Confuse With this spell the caster can scramble the thoughts of an enemy. The victim will hardly be able to walk in a straight line, let alone attack with any accuracy -- he may even begin attacking his own side. It can be very advantageous to disorientate one's attackers. INT: 25 POW: 20 Target: Missile 9 Illusion This spell lets the caster create a realistic magical image of anything he/she wishes; a snake, a wall, or even a dragon. The image created is almost 100% imperceptible by those who do not know it is only an illusion (although an extremely intelligent individual can figure it out). This can be a useful spell for warding off more gullible creatures. It is also a fun spell for magic shows. The image is selected by the amount of power spent on the spell. INT: 26 POW: 26+ Target: Any 10 Poison With a Poison spell a spell-caster can magically "inject" a venom into an enemy which will slowly cause its death, or at least do some continued harm over a period of time. The victim will lose a certain amount of LifePoints every turn that the poison remains in his body. The poison's lasting power is determined by power spent; the strength of the poison depends on the level of the caster. INT: 28 POW: 23+ Target: Missile 11 Fear This spell is used to terrify an attacker so that it will be too scared to attack, if it doesn't just retreat completely. Some creatures are more easily frightened than others, but this can be an effective way to chase enemies off without hurting them. INT: 32 POW: 30 Target: Any 12 Heal Every adventuring party should have at least one character in the group who knows this spell. When a character is wounded, a Heal spell will restore some, or even all, of his lost life. The amount of LifePoints healed is dependant on power spent. INT: 34 POW: 5+ Target: Touch 13 Poison Cloud This spell creates a cloud of poisonous gas which will choke anyone who breathes it, doing damage to their lungs. Prolonged exposure is fatal. The amount of power spent on this spell will determine the size of the gas cloud; you may only want a small cloud, or you may want to fill an entire room -- but be careful not to smother your own companions or yourself in the process. INT: 36 POW: 36+ Target: Any 14 Freeze With this spell the caster can select any individual and freeze him in place, rendering him harmless and immovable (for the time being). Longer lasting than a Sleep spell. The amount of time the victim will remain frozen depends on the amount of power spent on the spell. INT: 37 POW: 32+ Target: Any 15 Bird's Eye When outdoors, this spell allows the magic-user to transfer his mind temporarily to a passing bird, which allows him/her to see a "bird's eye view" of the surrounding land for miles around. Very helpful when travelling long distances. Can save your life if you are lost. The more power spent on the spell, the larger the area you will be able to see. INT: 40 POW: 40 16 Protection This spell effectively helps the caster avoid harm in battle by surrounding him/her with a magical "shield" which absorbs part of the damage done by attacker's blows. The time this spell lasts for depends on the experience level of the caster, and the actual effectiveness of the shield depends on the caster's intelligence. INT: 43 POW: 10 17 Stupidity With this spell a magic-user can turn an intelligent being into the intellectual equivalent of a carrot. The victim will act as if almost completely mindless, and will not notice he is walking through flames, or into a deep hole, etc, and will also lose the ability to cast spells properly. INT: 45 POW: 42 Target: Any 18 Repel Undead This spell/ritual is meant to drive off the evil denizens of the undead world: skeletons, zombies, vampires, etc. When successful, some or all of the undead creatures will be horrified by your presence and flee the area. The number of undead actually repelled depends on the caster's intelligence and experience level -- the type of creature also makes a big difference in difficulty; skeletons are far easier to repel than mummies or vampires. INT: 35 POW: 46 19 Slow This spell is very valuable when battling fast-moving creatures; when it is cast upon them, they will slow down to half of their normal speed. INT: 45 POW: 48 Target: Any 20 Corrode Armor This spell will rapidly corrode a character's armor, making it less effective for their protection. Multiple castings of this spell (or a single powerful one) can render a piece of armor completely useless. The amount of damage done is dependant upon the amount of power spent on the spell. INT: 47 POW: 30+ Target: Any 21 Web This spell lets the caster fire a stream of sticky, spiderweb-like netting from his hands to form a "web-wall" in which enemies can become entrapped. Can be fired directly at a creature, or be used to create a web-wall in preparation for its advance. The length of the web depends on the power spent. INT: 50 POW: 52+ Target: Missile 22 Fireball This powerful attack spell creates a ball of fire and lets the caster launch it at any target he/she chooses. Can do much more damage to an enemy than a Magic Missile. The size and power of the fireball depends on power spent. INT: 54 POW: 20+ Target: Missile 23 Dispel Force Field If a force field blocks your way, this spell will let you dissipate its energy and cause it to disappear. INT: 55 POW: 60 Target: Touch 24 X-Ray Vision When inside a building or dungeon, using this spell will allow the caster to peer through a solid wall and see a vision of the room on the other side (if one exists). Can also be used to see a room above or below. This spell will not, however, show the presence of most types of creatures that may be lurking in the room. INT: 58 POW: 68 25 Create Force Field Lets the magic-user form a permanent impassable wall of pure energy in front of him/her. Useful for protection. INT: 60 POW: 75 26 Drain Magic With this spell the caster can directly rob another magic- user of his/her MagicPoints. The amount of power drained is equal to the amount of power spent on this spell. INT: 30 POW: 30+ Target: Any 27 Speed With this spell the caster doubles his/her speed of movement, effectively giving him/her two turns for every one that other characters get. Extremely useful in combat. INT: 68 POW: 100 28 Create Gold This spell lets the magic-user create pure gold coins from nothing but raw magical power. The amount of gold depends on the power spent. INT: 70 POW: 110+ 29 Curse Armor With this spell the caster places a magical curse upon the victim's armor. INT: 71 POW: 114 Target: Any 30 Curse Weapon With this spell the caster places a magic curse upon the victim's weapon in use. INT: 71 POW: 115 Target: Any 31 Create Food This spell can save starving characters' lives. It lets the caster create an edible, calorie-rich substance from nothing but magical energy. Some say it tastes like chicken. The amount of food created depends on power spent. INT: 73 POW: 112+ 32 Harm A deadly spell. It lets the caster do bodily harm to anyone he/she chooses by simply willing it. The amount of damage done depends on the amount of power spent; it is not nearly as power- efficient as such spells as Fireball though -- more power must be spent with Harm to do any equal amount of damage. INT: 75 POW: 50+ Target: Any 33 Cure Disease With this powerful healing spell the magic-user can rid an individual of a debilitating disease. The amount of magic power needed is dependant on the type of disease to be cured. INT: 80 POW: 120+ Target: Touch 34 Teleport Object This spell allows the caster to change the location of a chosen object (under a certain size) by using his/her mental powers. Useful for bringing a treasure chest nearer when traps are suspected, etc. INT: 78 POW: 130 Target: Any 35 Control With this spell, the magic-user can take control of the mind of any individual. The victim will then begin to fight for the controlling spell-caster, rather than against. In a battle situation where you are outnumbered, it can be very advantageous to take control of one or more of the opposition and increase your chances. INT: 82 POW: 150 Target: Any 36 Detect Invisible This spell will find any invisible individuals in the immediate area and make them clearly visible to everyone. Effects everyone but the caster -- even any of his/her companions who may be invisible. INT: 88 POW: 160 37 Touch of Agony This is one of the most harmful assault spells in existence. The caster's bare hand, upon touching the victim, does severe damage to the individual's body. The damage done is equal to double the MagicPoints spent on the touch. INT: 90 POW: 80+ Target: Touch 38 Teleport Self This spell lets the spell-caster move freely and instantly through space, even through walls. You may not teleport to any space already occupied. INT: 95 POW: 140 Target: Any 39 Remove Curse If a character or creature has been cursed, this spell will lift it from them. This spell works on curses placed on individuals, not those placed on items (for curses such as those, professional help must be sought). INT: 100 POW: 145 Target: Touch 40 Blaze This destructive spell creates a blazing cone of fire emanating from the caster's hands which will damage and ignite anyone or anything in its range. Useful because it can be used on several enemies at once, if they are positioned right. The length of the fire cone depends on the amount of power spent. INT: 104 POW: 90+ 41 Teleport Others Just like Teleport Self, but can be used on other characters or creatures. Can be used to send someone further away from you if they are causing you trouble. INT: 115 POW: 160 Target: Any 42 Create Weapon With this spell it is possible for an unarmed magic-user to arm him/herself in an emergency. A magical energy sword (usable by anyone) will be created, which will slowly deteriorate with each swing. The sword's initial strength depends on the amount of power spent. The caster's hands must be empty to cast this spell. INT: 119 POW: 180+ 43 Create Armor Just like Create Weapon above, but creates a magical suit of energy armor instead, which deteriorates every time it is struck. INT: 120 POW: 180+ 44 Burn Spirit This spell lets the magic-user fight those pesky ghosts, banshees, phantoms, and other inhabitants of the spirit world which are normally unharmed by other spells and weapons. Will also do damage to physical beings (which are also part spirit), but is less effective than when used on spirits. Damage done depends on power spent. INT: 134 POW: 100+ Target: Missile 45 Curse This spell will place a foul curse on anyone the caster chooses. If successful, the victim will from then on always be hit by any attacks made on him. Very helpful for the magic-user's fighting companions when battling a tough monster. INT: 146 POW: 185 Target: Any 46 Teleport to Crystal No matter where your party is, when this spell is cast, the magic-user and all of his/her companions will be transported instantly outdoors to the earth directly above the Great Underground Crystal. Handy when lost at the bottom of a deep dungeon. INT: 150 POW: 200 47 Explosion This dangerous attack spell lets the spell-caster cause a large explosion wherever he/she would like one. It can be directly on an enemy, or simply near him; the most damage will be done in the center of the blast, but a considerable amount will still be done to anyone else in its reach. This makes it useful when cast into the center of a group of monsters, but care must be used if you are not to blow up your own companions. Power spent on the spell determines the overall damage done. INT: 160 POW: 110+ Target: Any 48 Blizzard This spell works somewhat the same way that Blaze does, but instead of a cone of flames, a conical snowstorm blasts from the caster's hands, freezing anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in its path. Convenient for refrigerating large groups. The length of the storm-cone depends on power spent. INT: 170 POW: 120+ 49 Create Door With this spell the magic-user can create a door in just about any impassable section of wall, or even in thin air if desired. INT: 180 POW: 210 Target: Touch 50 Lightning Causes a lightning bolt of variable power (dependant on power used for spell) to flash down from the sky and strike anyone the caster desires. Works much like Harm, but is well over twice as powerful. INT: 185 POW: 130+ Target: Any 51 Blink Used outdoors only, this spell lets the magic-user "jump" his entire party miles through space in a fraction of a second, even through solid matter such as mountains. The amount of power spent on the spell determines how many miles will be travelled. Caution must be used; it is possible to end up in the middle of the ocean, or surrounded by mountains. INT: 190 POW: 220+ 52 Transform Armor This spell allows the caster to transform any character's armor (being worn) to a lesser armor, causing his foe to be less protected. For example, it may change an enemy's plate armor into mere leather armor or even normal clothing. INT: 195 POW: 225 Target: Any 53 Transform Weapon Just like Transform Armor above, but works on a character's weapon in use instead, transforming, for example, a battle-axe into a slingshot. INT: 196 POW: 226 Target: Any 54 Quake This extremely powerful attack spell causes a minor earthquake in the immediate area which will damage all enemies in contact with the ground (airborne creatures will not be harmed). The amount of damage done to each creature depends on the amount of power used. INT: 200 POW: 160+ 55 Invisibility When this spell is cast, the caster becomes completely invisible. Most enemies will have no idea of where he/she is, unless they feel the magic-user's touch, in which case they will attack in that direction. The period this spell lasts for is determined by the caster's experience level. INT: 208 POW: 230 56 Summon Creature With this spell, a magic-user can conjure up a monster of any type to fight a battle for him/her. The monster summoned will be totally loyal and fight until all enemies in the area are destroyed. It will not follow you afterward. Power spent determines species of monster summoned. INT: 213 POW: 200+ Target: Any 57 Mayhem This spell will send all enemies in the area who are less intelligent than the spell-caster into a state of confusion. Most useful when fighting a large group of creatures; they will often begin attacking each other in their disorientation. INT: 201 POW: 240 58 Part Water With this spell a magic-user can clear a walkable path through a pond, river, or other body of water. The amount of water parted will depend on the power spent. INT: 231 POW: 250+ 59 Mass Panic When this spell is cast, all creatures less intelligent than the caster will go into a state of panic and attempt to flee from his/her presence. INT: 205 POW: 260 60 Summon Undead This is usually considered an evil spell, and is generally only used by high-level users of Black Magic, but is included here for use in emergencies. When cast, a number of undead creatures will rise from the earth and fight for the caster until either they or your enemies are utterly destroyed. The type of undead summoned depends on your experience level; the number appearing depends on the amount of power spent. INT: 220 POW: 235+ 61 Transmogrify A very nasty and irreversible spell, Transmogrify will change any living creature into a (usually) lower form of life. It is possible to turn a ogre into a frog, or a human into a snake, for example. The amount of "steps down" the victim degenerates depends on the power of the spell. INT: 225 POW: 275+ Target: Any 62 Touch of Death When a high-level magic-user casts this spell and touches a living thing, it dies. Drains all of the caster's power (except for very high-level users). This spell is considered evil; no XP is awarded for deaths caused by its use. INT: 230 POW: 325 Target: Touch 63 Resurrect This spell gives the magic-user the ability to bring dead companions back to life. The resurrected character will be very weak and should quickly be healed and fed, or death could easily come again. The spell will drain all of the caster's power. INT: 244 POW: 300 64 Disintegrate This, the most destructive and evil of all spells, is used to totally vaporize anything the magic-user wishes. When used on living beings, all the caster's magic power is drained. No XP is awarded for killing with this spell. INT: 250 POW: 350 Target: Touch *****************************************************************
