If the opposite happens, the mage is prevented from counterspelling for the rest of the scene. Additionally, counterspell can be used to stop a spell currently in effect (such as illusion, charm, or force wall). To dispel a magical effect the mage needs to know the spell or make an activation roll to see if they can spontaneously cast it.

Cost: None
Casting time: Instant

This wall cannot move, it is immune to damage of all kinds, and it is unaffected by most spells, including counterspell. However, disintegrate immediately destroys it. Spells cannot pass through the wall in either direction, although Jump, Teleport, and similar effects can bypass the barrier. It blocks ethereal (ghost) creatures as well as material ones (though ethereal creatures can usually get around the wall by floating under or over it through material floors and ceilings). The wall must be continuous and unbroken when formed. If its surface is broken by any object or creature when cast, the spell fails.

Cost: None

Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Any characters not actively searching for the invisible creature are completely unaware of their presence. If the creature is actively being searched for, the invisible creature can make a activation roll or stealth + dexterity roll VS the searcher's wits + composure roll. If the Invisible creatures location is determined, it can be attack, albeit at a -2 penalty. Attacking an invisible creature also effectively functions as fighting blind.

Jump (●●●)

Cost: None
Casting time: Move

Cooldown: 3 rounds
Effect: The mage magically teleports a short distance in only a moment. The mage may appear anywhere in range which is twice her speed in yards.

Telekinesis (●●●●)

Cost: None
Casting time: Instant
Range: 100 yards

Effect: The mage uses telekinesis to magically lift, move, or throw objects through the air. Objects up to the mage's size are easily lifted or 'controlled'. Larger objects require an activation roll, every success allowing the mage to lift an object 1 size larger. A controlled object can be moved around within the range of the spell at a speed of 10 yards +1 per arcane dot. A controlled object can also be hurled at great speed at a target within range. The range for hurling objects is equal to 100 yards - the object's size x 2, double range for aerodynamic objects. The damage pool for a thrown object is equal to the mages Intelligence + Athletics + Arcane dots + the objects size in lethal crushing damage, the target's defense applies to such an attack. This spell can also be used to lift a creature of appropriate size, doing so is a contested activation roll VS the target's dexterity. If controlled, the mage may move the target using the same methods mentioned above. A controlled creature may also be hurled, if hurled into the air, falling damage is taken as if the creature fell that distance normally. If the creature is hurled into a solid object, the creature is dealt damage as if a object of equal size was hurled into it, however, defense nor armor apply to this sort of attack. The range for hurling a creature is the same as hurling an object of equal size. Telekinesis can also be used to directly deal damage or even grapple an opponent. Direct attacks deal bashing damage equal to the mages activation + athletics roll. Grappling using telekinesis is the same as grappling directly except the mage uses her activation roll in place of strength + brawl checks. The mage may also choose to break off the grapple at any time she wishes by simply canceling the spell. This spell cannot be used to fly, but the mage can stand and move around on a controlled object, doing so emulates the spell 'levitate'. This spell can also be used to perform minor feats like pushing a carriage or boat at low speeds.

Teleport (●●●●)

Cost: 1 willpower
Casting time: Instant
Range: Personal; Touch
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: At-will

You may bring objects up to your size, you may also bring up to six willing size 6 or less creatures. All creatures to be transported must be in contact with one another, and at least one of those creatures must be in contact with the mage. To teleport, the mage must make an activation roll. However, if the mage has already set foot on or seen the location she wants to go to, the teleport is automatically a success. If the mage is completely unfamiliar with the location but has a detailed description, she takes a -4 on the activation roll. If

the mage is unfamiliar and has no prior description of the location, then she takes a -8 on her activation roll. If the mage fails her activation roll, the teleport fails and all subjects involved suffer 1 lethal damage for every 100 miles of attempted travel.

Transform (●●●●)

Cost: None
Casting time: Full-round
Range: Personal

Casting time: 10 minutes
Range: 2 miles
Area: 2 mile radius centered on caster
Duration: 10d10 hours
Cooldown: Same as duration
Effect: The mage uses her arcane ability to change the conditions of the weather around her. You can call forth weather appropriate to the climate and season of the area you are in. It takes 10 minutes to cast the spell and then a further 10 minutes for the changes to manifest (gradually, not instantly). You cannot control specific applications of the weather—where lightning strikes, for example, or the exact path of a tornado. The weather continues as you left it for the duration, or until you use a instant action to designate a new kind of weather (which fully manifests itself 10 minutes later). Contradictory conditions are not possible simultaneously. Control weather can do away with atmospheric phenomena (naturally occurring or otherwise) as well as create them. The possible conditions for each season are as follows:

Season	Possible weather
Spring	Tornado, thunderstorm, sleet storm, or hot weather
Summer	Torrential rain, heat wave, or hailstorm
Autumn	Hot or cold weather, fog, or sleet
Winter	Frigid cold, blizzard, or thaw

Precognition (●●●●●)

Cost: None
Casting time: Instant
Range: Personal
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: At-will

The mage can only see a limited time into the future, depending on her activation roll. However, the actual content of the visions or information gleaned may be unreliable, and are entirely dependent on the ST. Mundane information like the result of a tournament may be easy to see, while more significant prophecies, like a cataclysmic disaster or the result of a war, are much more difficult to decipher.

Time Stop (●●●●●)

Cost: 1 willpower
Casting time: Instant
Range: Personal
Duration: 1d10 + 1 rounds
Cooldown: Scene
Effect: This spell seems to make time cease to flow for everyone but you. In fact, you speed up so greatly that all other creatures seem frozen, though they are actually still moving at their normal speeds. You are free to act for 1d10 + 1 rounds of apparent time. Normal and magical fire, cold, gas, and the like can still harm you. While the time stop is in effect, other creatures are invulnerable to your attacks and spells; you cannot target such creatures with any attack or spell. A spell that affects an area and has a duration longer than the remaining duration of the time stop have their normal effects on other creatures once the time stop ends. Most spell casters use the additional time to improve their defenses, summon allies, or flee from combat. You cannot move or harm items held, carried, or worn by a creature stuck in normal time, but you can affect any item that is not in another creature’s possession. You are undetectable while time stop lasts. You cannot enter an area protected by an anti magic field while under the effect of time stop.

Effect: Wish is the mightiest spell a mage can cast. By simply speaking aloud, you can alter reality to better suit you. The spell itself is very powerful and any outcome should be regulated by the ST alone. However, some standard effects a wish may elicit are as follows:

• Create a non magical item of up to 25,000 gp in value.
• Create a magic item, or add to the powers of an existing magic item.
• Remove injuries and afflictions
• Revive the dead
• Undo misfortune
• Duplicate most spells or effects

You may try to use a wish to produce greater effects than these, but doing so is dangerous. (The wish may pervert your intent into a literal but undesirable fulfillment or only a partial fulfillment.)
