Edit: I should have mentioned that I'm keeping the B/X hp system (with a minor change - Your 1st level hp are maxed and become your Wounds. Any additional hp gained by level are hero points. They will be treated the same as ordinary hp's except they recover a lot quicker (an hour tops). CLW fixes 2-7 wound points and restores 2-7 x level in hp.

Edit: I should have mentioned that I'm keeping the B/X hp system (with a minor change - Your 1st level hp are maxed and become your Wounds. Any additional hp gained by level are hero points. They will be treated the same as ordinary hp's except they recover a lot quicker (an hour tops). CLW fixes 2-7 wound points and restores 2-7 x level in hp.
*Apprentice: Runes of Matter, Runes of life.
 
 
 
*''The runes of form''.
 
**The runemaster may research the true name of specific nonliving substances (time for each as a 1st lvl spell) such as gold, iron, granite, dead wood, sand, water, glass, leather, copper, sandstones, etc. Once known, the true name may be used to reshape any of that matter within a 1' radius per level. This is made permanent or reforms after 1d4 (+1 adept,+2 master) rounds. (60% base, base 4/day uses)
 
 
 
*''The Runes of life''
 
**The runemaster can seek control or friendship with specific types of living creatures (wolf, grey ooze, horse, owlbear, owl, bear, etc). Each animal type must be researched (as 2nd lvl spell). Once known, the true name may be used to cause a charm-like effect, with the added bonus that the caster can also sense what the creatures senses. Charms last 1-4 days (+1 adept,+2 master) or 1-4 turns on a failure. (50% base, 3/day)
 
 
 
The third secret craft available in Tizuns library. I thought I should mention that there'll be a few pre-written formulas for these crafts in his books, so you don't start from scratch.
 
 
 
*Adept: runes of power, runes of magic.
 
*Mastery: Truename.
 
 
 
'''Witchcraft''' (Magic of the Moon and nature)
 
*Apprentice: Brews and Philters, Silver tongue, Doll curse, Witches Charm.
 
*Adept: spellbinding, witches curse, shapechange.
 
*Master: ultimate possession.
 
 
 
'''How to use the secret arts.'''
 
 
 
Each ability within an art can be used a certain number of times in a day. There is a success roll attached to each art, with failure indicating minimal or lesser effect. Constant abilities (such as elemental protection) ignore success rolls.
 
Success chances increase by 5% per level and are increased 5% per +1 int bonus.
 
 
 
'''Spells''': All secret crafts come with spells that will automatically be learned in addition to the mages base spells at the first available level.
 
 
 
'''Alchemy'''
 
*1st: Alchemy. Acts as one pouring from a Jug of Alchemy.
 
*2nd:Stinking Cloud. Releases a noxious cloud of stinking vapors.
 
 
 
'''Elemental Fire'''
 
*1st: Burning hands. The casters hands become balls of fire that can extend an arc of flame 3’ from each fingertip. Can be used to strike (for 1d8+1hp/level) set fires, or as a burning shield (as shield spell). Lasts 1rd/level.
 
*2nd: Pyrotechnics. Releases fireworks-like blinding explosions or massive amounts of smoke.
