433. Skills for Magic Users.

'''Control of self''': the user can control his own
body: e.g . hold his breath indefinitely,
stop his heartbeat, hold some object with
an iron grip for a long period, enter into a
trance, have total memory recall, seal his
ears, etc. He cannot perform actions impossible
for a body, of course (e .g . extend
his arms twenty feet) . This spell can indeed
be broken, but only by very powerful
magic or strength: a person or being of
nine or more hit dice can break the grip of
a person using this spell, for instance.
Usable twice a day .

'''Illusion''' : limited illusions can be created . These
have a 60 percent chance of being
believed by nonintelligent creatures and
a 40 percent chance of acceptance by intelligent
and semi-intelligent ones .
Automatons, androids, etc. do not
believe them at all . Damage taken from
an illusion which is believed is treated as
actual damage . Note that the illusion is
limited to the user only, he cannot create
the illusion that his whole party is invisible,
for example, although he can
create this illusion about himself . Usable
once a day, this spell has a duration of
three turns .

'''Clairaudience''': the user can hear what is happening
in an adjoining room . Range : 2 inches.
Duration : 2 turns . Usable three
times a day .

'''Clairvoyance''' : this picks up a picture of an adjoining
room or space. Distance : 2 inches,
fading out quickly beyond this range.
Duration : 2 turns . Usable 3 times a day.

'''Telekinesis''' : the user can move solid objects
through air or water (but not through
walls, etc .) The weight of the object and
the distance depend upon the user's experience
level : a first level user can move
an ounce about 10 feet ; a 3rd level person
can move 3 ounces 30 feet ; a 5th level
character can move 5 ounces 50 feet, etc .
Objects telekinesed can be moved fast
enough to stun an unarmoured man, but
not so fast as to penetrate his skull . One
may thus stun an opponent (if a hit is
made; cf . the combat tables below), but
not kill him . Edged weapons or missiles
cannot be transported by this spell .
Telekinesis is usable twice a day.

'''Astrology''''''Bold text''' : this is not really "magic" at all but
rather a means of discovering the character,
motives, etc . of a being through the
positions and influences of the sun, four
planets, and two moons of Tekumel .
Such a horoscope takes one full turn to
construct, and the user must have the
proper instruments (an astrolabe), and
reference books (ephermerides, a table of
houses, etc .) with him . This horoscope is
infallible . It may also predict short distances
into the future: one turn, seventy percent
accuracy; 2 turns, 50 percent; 3
turns, 30 percent, etc. This is usable
repeatedly .

'''Medium''' : the user can speak to the dead, to
spirits, and to distant living beings (over
five miles away) to gain information and
guidance . Usable 3 times a day.

'''Nature Control''' : the actions of 1-12 (roll a 12-
sided die) animals or plants can be controlled
for 3 turns . Nonhuman races,
creatures of the Underworld, and the undead
are excluded . Usable once a day,
this spell has a range of 50 feet . Animals
may make a saving throw against this
spell.

'''Necromancy''': 1-12 undead beings can be controlled
for 6 turns, although a saving
throw is permitted for any undead
creature with more than 3 hit dice. Usable
once a day at a maximum range of 30
feet . It is also possible to create a "zombie"
from a dead being : this creature
obeys its maker's orders for six turns and
then returns to its inanimate, dead condition.

'''Control Underworld Creatures''': 1-6 creatures of
the Underworld can be brought under
control for 6 turns . This spell does not
work upon humans, intelligent
nonhumans, and the undead, and a
saving throw is permitted for any creature
with over 3 hit dice. Usable once a day,
this spell has a maximum range of 30 feet .

'''The Grey Hand''': this is the power of instant
death, no saving throw being possible . If
a hit is made (cf . the combat tables
below), the victim is reduced to a heap of
greyish dust, but the user must actually
touch the victim (or his arms or armour),
risking the chance of a dying blow . It is
possible to revive a person slain by the
Grey Hand, but 10 percent is subtracted
from his constitutional possibilities, and
he is unable to fight or partake in
strenuous action for one week! Usable
once a day.
