Enroth Rules: Earth Spells

Stun

Spell Points: 1
Range: 20 yds + 5 yds/Earth Magic skill lvl
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round/4 Earth Magic skill lvls
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Luck roll: Special

This spell stuns one opponent within the range of the spell for 1 round per 4 Earth Magic skill levels of the caster. This spell can be resisted by a Luck roll, with Constitution hit point bonuses applying. A stunned opponent has a -4 ‘to hit’ and damage penalty, and loses half of his/her attacks. Upon reaching Expertise in Earth Magic, the opponent's Luck roll is -1 and the opponent always attacks last. Mastery will give the opponent a -3 to Luck roll and the opponent loses all attacks, but may defend himself.

Magic Arrow

Spell Points: 2
Range: 100 yds + 20 yds/Earth Magic skill lvl
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Luck roll: None

This spell creates an arrow out of magical force. This spell caster must make a ‘to hit’ roll as a Knight equal to his/her Earth Magic skill lvl plus any bonuses from dexterity. If the arrow misses its target, the arrow vanishes. If the arrow strikes its target it causes 1-6 +2 hp damage. Only creatures immune to magic or a Protection from Magic spell can resist this spell. Upon reaching Expertise in Earth Magic, the cost of the spell drops to 1 SP and the Casting Time is reduced to 2. Mastery will make the spell free (0 SP) and further reduce the Casting Time to 1.

Protection from Magic

Spell Points: 3
Range: 10 ft radius
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour/Earth Magic skill level of caster
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: Entire party
Luck roll: None

This spell affects all party members and increases their ability to resist damaging magic (not including Cold, Electricity, Fire, or Poison). The bonus received is a reduction in damage equal to a percentage of the caster's Earth Magic level times two subtracted from any damage received, rounded down with a minimum of 1 hp resisted (e.g., a 10 hp magical strike with 4% protection will provide 1 hp protection, while 20% protection will provide 2 hp protection). Upon reaching Expertise in Earth Magic the percentage is level times three. Mastery gives the party a bonus of percentage equal to level times four. A percentage greater than or equal to 100% does NOT necessarily mean the PC is immune to magic, since some monster’s power lowers the protection of the spell.

Deadly Swarm

Spell Points: 4
Range: 20 yds + 10 yds/Earth Magic skill lvl of the caster
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 6

Luck roll: None

This spell summons a swarm of biting, stinging insects to bedevil a single target. The swam never misses and does 5 hp + 1-3 hp dmg/Earth Magic skill lvl of the caster. Since the damage is physical, there is very little chance for resistance. Upon reaching Expertise in Earth Magic the Casting Time is reduced to 4. Mastery further reduces the Casting Time to 3.

Stone Skin

The ability to strike this target is equal to a Knight of the caster’s Earth Magic skill level multiplied by two. (i.e. A 6th level skill attacks as a 12th level Knight). If the blade strikes, it does 1d6-1 (min 1) damage/Earth Magic skill level of the caster. A successful Luck roll allows a partial dodge and only half damage (round down). Upon reaching Expertise in Earth Magic the Casting Time is reduced to 6. Mastery further reduces the Casting Time to 5.

This spell creates a large boulder which is launched forward in the direction the caster is facing. It will continue to roll until it strikes a creature or after two rounds. It rolls at a speed of 200 feet per round. If it strikes a wall or solid object it will bounce as if it only weighed 5 pounds. The GM will apply common sense to determine direction. It CAN bounce back towards the caster. Upon striking a creature or after the 2 round time limit, the rock explodes in a 20 foot radius causing 1d8 hp dmg/Earth Magic skill level of the caster. A successful Luck roll when the rock is rolling will cause the rock to miss the target, as the rock explodes, another successful Luck roll reduces the damage by half (round down). Upon reaching Expertise in Earth Magic the Casting Time is reduced to 6. Mastery further reduces the Casting Time to 5.

Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S

The duration of this spell is 5 minutes/Earth Magic skill level of the caster. Upon reaching Expertise in Earth Magic the duration of the spell increases to 1 turn/Earth Magic skill level of the caster. Mastery further increases the duration of the spell to 2 turns/Earth Magic skill level of the caster.

Upon reaching Expertise in Earth Magic the explosion radius becomes 60 feet and the Casting Time is reduced to 8. Mastery further increases the explosion radius to 80 feet and reduces the Casting Time to 7. A successful Luck roll will reduce the damage to half (round down).

Mass Distortion

Spell Points: 30
Range: 10 feet/level of the caster
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: One target
Luck roll: Yes

This spell increases the weight of the target enormously for an instant, causing severe internal damage equal to 25% +2%/Earth Magic skill level of the caster of the target’s current hit points. For example, if the caster is at 15th level skill, the percentage is 55%. If a monster has 100 hit points left, the creature loses 55 hit points. A successful Luck roll resists the initial 25% of the spell’s effects only doing the Earth Magic skill effects. Upon reaching Expertise in Earth Magic the Casting Time is reduced to 10. Mastery further reduces the casting time to 8.
