Sorcerers create a '''''Frame''''' upon which they hang elaborate spells, leaving off a few elements called '''Lynchpins''' to cast the spell. Lynchpins are key phrases and gestures that allow a spell taking hours to cast to be cast in second from a saved or "hung" spell.

High Order and Low Order versions of spells have similar effects but dynamically different results depending on the amount of throughput a sorcerer is able to employ base on his power source.  The descriptions below are for High Order versions of the spells. The Low Order versions may be anywhere from a tiny fraction to around a quarter of the power of their High Order versions.

Blocks off all of the target’s senses, leaving them alone in blackness and utter silence. Targets with Human psyche may be driven insane if this spell is kept on them long enough; targets with higher psyche are merely inconvenienced (and may, in fact, be able to locate their opponents using other "senses’).

A variant on the Basic Spell “Quell,“ this spell locks the target’s voluntary muscles into spasm, preventing them from moving, casting spells, etc. (Since the spell doesn’t affect the involuntary muscles, the target continues to breathe, pump blood, or whatever life-sustaining activities are normal for it.)

Brings into being a webwork of living, twisting, viciously-hooked chains, which envelop the target and draw him er/it toward the caster, all the while draining the target’s magical energy.

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.

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.

This spell conjures a shimmering, translucent rod of force, that sails through the air from the caster’s hand. Being insubstantial until contact, it is impossible to parry with conventional weapons. The main advantage of this spell is that it is fast, and that an ignorant target may attempt to parry rather than dodge.
