SPELL LIST

● A Spellcheck is Int bonus + 1/2 level vs. DC 12 + Spell Level to cast a spell.  (Cantrips are DC 10 to cast.)  Most spellcasters have a per Turn/Encounter limit on casting failures, before mandatory rest is needed. 

● The DC for any spell Saving Throw is 12 + ½ Caster’s level.  A successful Save negates any damage or effect.  However, if a successful Save only halves the damage, other spell effects still apply.

● Caster Checks (for dispelling standing or continuing magic) are 11 + ½ Caster’s level.  Failing a Caster Check, but succeeding at casting the Dispelling spell, does not count as a spell failure.

● Ceremony Spells take 1 turn to cast and cannot be done in any combat.

● If not specified, assume a spell is only effective up to Short range.

● For continuing effect spells, such as Darkness and illusions, the Caster may dismiss the effect at will, or they can be removed by Dispel Magic with a Caster Check.

● A spell requiring a Sympathy means that a personal object of the target is required.  This can include hair, skin, body part, a very personal possession (favorite ring, doll, etc), or a crafted symbolic object (painting, statue, etc).
