Atropiamancy Spells

Benison

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Touch	Duration:	Sustained
Target:	8 - Spirit Strength				Drain:	[(F/2)+1]M

This spell Guards the Voluntary Target's Aura against plasmic damage: Add 1/2 the spell test successes to the Target's Spirit Strength for purposes of resisting Aura Damage ONLY (But it functions for ANY Spirit Strength roll to resist such damage, not just direct attack).

Clearing

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Touch	Duration:	Permanant
Target:	Force (R)				Drain:	[(F/2)-1]S

Clears an area of plasmic energies. This spell pits the Spells Force vs. the Plasmic Mass's Force. Each of the Caster's Net Successes on the spell test reduces the Plasmic Mass's Force by 1. Each of the Mass's Net Success Net Successes inflicts 1 box of Aura Integrity Damage on the Caster. This spell CAN affect actual Ghosts, but that is not its main focus, so Ghosts function as if DOUBLE their actual Force for all tests.

Dazzle

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	LoS	Duration:	Instant
Target:	Special				Drain:	[(F/2)-2]S

A bolt of counter-plasmic force. This spell has devastating effects on ghosts: the Spirit must Resist a (Force)S attack. If the target takes ANY damage, they're out for 3d6 actions, making a test using their Force vs. (Dazzle Force), each success subtracting 1 action from the duration stunned. If the Target ghost has a Sunlight Allergy, the effective Force Rating of the spell is doubled for all purposes.

Forbidence

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Self	Duration:	Prep
Target:	Force				Drain:	[(F/2)]M

Prep-Spell for Controlling a Ghost NOT Conjured by the Atropiamancer. It must be cast at a Force at LEAST equal to the Spirit whose Control is desired, and must be cast with the Ghost in the caster's presence. Each two successes on the casting test may be used to a> add 1 die to the Caster's Control roll; OR b> Raise the Ghost's Tgt# by 1 for the Resisted Control test; OR c> Lower the Caster's Tgt# for the Resisted Control test. If the Caster succeeds in Controlling the Spirit, he may ONLY Command the Ghost to REFRAIN from set actions ("Leave this place, never to return," "You may never harm or seek to harm this man, directly or indirectly," etc). While the commands ARE permanent in this sense, the GM should make CAREFUL note of EXACT wording. The more evil and intelligent ghosts are positively inspired when it comes to finding loopholes in such commands.

Ghost Ward

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Limited	Duration:	Sustained
Target:	6				Drain:	[(F/2)+1]S

This spell creates an invisible barrier of plasmic force within a predefined area. The Warded area can be a sphere with a (Spirit Strength) meters, a wall of (Force) x (Spirit Strength) square meters, or a single room of up to 4 x (Spirit Strength)^3 cubic meters. Any Plasmic effect that attempts to cross the Ward makes a resisted test of (Force) vs. (Spirit Strength + Ghost Ward Succ.) Net successes require the loser to make a normal damage reduction test vs. (Net Succ)M stun damage. If the Ward caster loses, the damage applies to HIM, not the Ward, because the Ward draws on his personal spiritual strength to block ghostly intrusions. If the intruding plasmic effect achieves more net successes than the Ward's Force, it breaks the spell completely, and travels through undiminished.

Heal Aura

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Touch	Duration:	Permanant
Target:	10 - Spirit Strength				Drain:	[(F/2)]Wound Lvl

This is a Heal spell that (except as noted above) functions EXACTLY as a normal Heal spell, but applies to Aura Cohesion damage, rather than physical damage.

Purge Taint

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	LoS	Duration:	Instant
Target:	Special				Drain:	[(F/2)+2]S

The Caster expends one EEP die and makes a resisted test of (EEP + Atropiamancy) vs. (Ichor Force). Each net success on the Caster's part converts 1 Force point of the Target Ichor to normal, untainted ectoplasm. If the Ichor achieves more successes, the caster must resist Aura Integrity Damage equal to the Ichor's Net successes, with a Power equal to the Ichor's Force. Partially converted Ichor makes a normal Taint Check to determine whether the entire mass is converted, or if the Ichor re-taints the new ectoplasmic component.

Redemption

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Limited	Duration:	Sustained
Target:	Special				Drain:	[(F/2)]M

The Caster makes a Resisted test of (Atropiamancy) vs. (Target's EEP). Each net success allows him to suppress one of the target's EEP dice for as long as the spell is sustained. For each of the Caster's EEP die sacrificed, a Net Success can PERMANENTLY remove the suppressed EEP die (The sacrificed EEP die must be of the same type as the Suppressed/Removed EEP die, ie, PEEP for PEEP dice, TEEP for TEEP). Net successes on the target's part allow the Target to inflict the same effects on the Caster.

Reintigrate

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	LoS	Duration:	Permanant
Target:	Force				Drain:	[(F/2)+4]M

This spell combines phantasm fragments into a Whole. Generally used to return phantasma to their Living source aura despite necromantic magics maintaining them separate, but it can have INTENSE effects used on fractioned revenants (See the section on Conflagration). Both part and base must be within the caster's LoS.

Requisat (in Pacem)

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Self	Duration:	Prep
Target:	Force				Drain:	[(F/2)]M

Prep-Spell for Banishing Ghosts. It must be cast at a Force at LEAST equal to the Spirit whose Banishing is desired, and must be cast with the Ghost in the caster's presence. Each two successes on the casting test may be used to: a> add 1 die to the Caster's Banishing roll; OR b> Raise the Ghost's Tgt# by 1 for the Resisted Banishing test; OR c> Lower the Caster's Tgt# for the Resisted Banishing test.

Sealing

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Touch	Duration:	Permanant
Target:	Force				Drain:	[(F/2)]D

This spell strengthens the Astral plane in an Area with a Ward on it. It CANNOT be cast on an area with a plasmic background count of any sort. Each 2 succ. apply a -1 to the plasmic variation in the area (See the Table in the Plasm-Properties section). This effect applies at full strength for as long as the Ward remains in effect, and at Half strength even after the Warding fades, until the Force Rating of the Plasm exceeds the Force Rating the Sealing was cast at, at which point the Sealing is broken, and has no further effect.

Solar Infusion

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Self	Duration:	Prep
Target:	Investiture				Drain:	[(F/2)]M

This spell attunes the Caster to solar energies and allows him to channel those energies and bind them into material forms. This is a catchall Prep spell for use of Investing Skills (Necromantic Enchanting) making use of Atropiamantic properties. Note that the appropriate Necromantic Spells must ALSO be learned in Atropiamantic forms for specific Enchanting Tasks, and that the presence of Solar Infused Radicals or Foci trigger Sunlight Allergies. Solar Infused Weapon Foci effect beings with a Sunlight Allergy as if they also had a Vulnerability Weakness as well. For obvious reasons, Solar Infused Materials cannot be used along with normal Necromantic materials in enchanting... both Solar and necromantic materials destroy each other's magical properties. Solar Radicals glow bright and hot, and inflict (Units)S damage if ingested.

Treat Aura

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Touch	Duration:	Permanant
Target:	8 - Spirit Strength				Drain:	[(F/2)]Wound Lvl

This is a Treat spell that (except as noted above) functions EXACTLY as a normal Treat spell, but applies to Aura Cohesion damage, rather than physical damage.

TrueHeart

Catagory:	Necromantic (Atropiamancy)
Type:	Mana		Range:	Touch	Duration:	Sustained
Target:	6				Drain:	[(F/2)+1]M

This spell Seals the Willing Target to the Powers of Light, and each success acts as an extra Spell-Defense die vs. Necromantic Effects that Corrupt the target (Anything that directly adds to Necrosis or Cacophony Ratings, or Aura Integrity Damage).
