'''<span style=color:purple> Levitate</span>'''
An extremely complex and difficult spell.
+
*An extremely complex and difficult spell. Once the spell is released, the caster concentrates, and rises up into the air. It's possible to fly forward, backward, bank and turn, etc. The only danger is, if the caster’s concentration slips, even for a moment, the spell is lost, and the caster will fall like a rock. This will almost certainly happen if anyone hits the caster, either physically or with a spell. Sometimes, just yelling at the caster will do it; anything that causes startlement. Even the impact of the caster hitting someone else can shatter the spell; it's very hard to fight while levitating, and the use of any powers—even triggering a Trump—is impossible. Levitate can be cast on someone else but it’s unlikely another person will know how to control the levitation. Unless one knows the spell, or has been ‘briefed” with a Psychic contact nothing is likely to happen. However, the one who levitates can carry along anything or anyone he or she is able to lift. People  who are carried don’t have to concentrate.

*A variation on the Pressurized Lava Spell, this spell Summons Blessed Holy Water from the Swimming Pool at the St. Cabrini Shrine in Colorado, USA, Shadow Garland (aka Change World). It creates a Shadow Opening inside the drain pipe just past the pumping mechanism and simultaneously actives the high pressure pump to begin rapidly draining the pool. It also simultaneously creates a Summoning Portal on the Caster's end about an inch away from his/her palm (right or left) and allows the Caster to direct the pressurized stream of water as he/she desires. The Shadow Opening on the Caster's end is a bit smaller than the opening on the pipe end it comes from to increase the pressure of the water delivered. Once the pump is activated, a message appears in green letters on the pump: ''"Sorry to take without asking; I beg your forgiveness. ~Raphael"''  Once the Spell ends, the pump deactivates and the message disappears a few hours later.

Trump Image Enhancement

  • The simplest form of Trump enhancement merely provides extra energy for making a Trump contact. This is, in effect, a burst of Psyche, like the Power Word of the same name. It can also be useful for breaking a Trump contact, or defending oneself against psychic attack, including one which accompanies an invasive spell.
    • Spell Type: Invasive.
    • Base Casting Time: Thirty Minutes.
    • Lynchpins: Additional five minutes of casting time each. Name/Description of Trump Subject, Magic of Shadow.

  • There are a variety of light spells. These vary from simple, momentary flashes, to floating balls of light that follow the caster wherever he or she may go, anchored with a tether of magical force. Most mages have favorite light spells, often very distinctive.

    • Lynchpins: Additional five minutes of casting time each. Description of Target Location, Magic of Shadow, Duration, Constant Position Relative to Target Object (Optional), Color (Optional), Dispel Word (Optional).

Levitate

  • An extremely complex and difficult spell. Once the spell is released, the caster concentrates, and rises up into the air. It's possible to fly forward, backward, bank and turn, etc. The only danger is, if the caster’s concentration slips, even for a moment, the spell is lost, and the caster will fall like a rock. This will almost certainly happen if anyone hits the caster, either physically or with a spell. Sometimes, just yelling at the caster will do it; anything that causes startlement. Even the impact of the caster hitting someone else can shatter the spell; it's very hard to fight while levitating, and the use of any powers—even triggering a Trump—is impossible. Levitate can be cast on someone else but it’s unlikely another person will know how to control the levitation. Unless one knows the spell, or has been ‘briefed” with a Psychic contact nothing is likely to happen. However, the one who levitates can carry along anything or anyone he or she is able to lift. People who are carried don’t have to concentrate.

    • Spell Type: Summoning.
    • Base Casting Time: One Hour.

    • Casting Time: Thirty Minutes
    • Lynchpins: Additional ten minutes casting time each. Magic of Shadow (Optional for Logrus Sorcery), Target (Optional for Logrus Sorcery), Dispel Word (Optional), Specific Imperatives (ten minutes per imperative).

    • Casting Time: One Hour
    • Lynchpins: Additional ten minutes casting time each. Magic of Shadow (Optional for Logrus Sorcery), Target (Optional for Logrus Sorcery), Number of Porcupines, Trigger.

    • Lynchpins: Additional ten minutes casting time each. Magic of Shadow (Optional for Logrus Sorcery), Target (Optional for Logrus Sorcery), Trigger.

Bubble Stream

  • Bubbles stream from the caster’s hands, and swirl around the target. Each bubble contains a concentration of feelings, captured from some place in Shadow where psyche is broadcast, so that a strong emotion is emitted when a bubble bursts. The closer the burst, the more likely the victim will be affected. One by one, the bubbles will swoop in, strike the target, and burst. The target will then feel whatever emotions he or she would feel, if that event had just happened to him or her. Basically, this is a distraction spell, keeping the victim from concentrating properly on fighting, spell-casting, power-summoning, or quick movement.
    • Spell Type: Summoning.
    • Casting Time: One Hour, plus an additional Fifteen Minutes for each additional emotion beyond the first
    • Lynchpins: Additional fifteen minutes casting time each. Magic o( Shadow, Hand Motions (Optional), Name of Target (Optional), Type of Emotion (Optional, but one Lynch pin per emotion specified), Trigger (Optional), Dispel Word (Optional), and Quantity of Bubbles (Optional).

Finally, put the resulting recording through a manic blender, sight first, then hearing, then taste, smell, etc., till the pieces are no more than half a second long. Release, so the target is subjected to a barrage of emotions. If successful, the victim will be literally unable to form a whole word, let alone a thought.
    • Spell Type: Summoning.
    • Casting Time: Two Hours.
    • Lynchpins: Additional five minutes casting time each. Magic of Shadow, Name of Target (Optional), Duration (Optional), Dispel Word (Optional).

Warm & Fuzzy

  • Why break into somebody’s mind with a battering ram or a pickaxe, if you can coax them into handing you the keys. Under the influence a “Warm Fuzzy” spell, the target will feel safe, willing to trust the caster. If successful, the victim will be easy meat for Imperatives, or any other invasive spell. As with other invasive spells, the victim’s Psyche must be overcome. Also, unless the victim has a relatively inferior Psyche, there must be at least some positive feelings for the caster. It might also be called a Judas spell; it only works if cast by those you like or trust.

    • Casting Time: One Hour.
    • Lynchpins: Additional five minutes casting time each. Name Description of Subject, Name of Caster's Current Shadow location, Name of Subject’s location in Shadow, Duration (Optional), Dispel Word (Optional).

    • Casting Time: Thirty Minutes
    • Lynchpins: Additional ten minutes casting time each. Magic of Shadow (Optional (or Logrus Sorcery), Hand Motions, Trigger.
