Author’s Notes: This is just a template of the format I used in creating spells. All you need to do is copy this template, replace the Author’s Notes with anything you feel appropriate. Then, on the main ‘New Spells’ type in the name of your spell all joined together with caps (ex: My_New_Spell; just remove the underscores), this will automatically create a hyperlink to a new page upon which you can add your spell.

Author’s Notes: Feel free to use this spell in any games if you wish. Be warned however that it has not yet been playtested, so unexpected results may occur and rulings will probably have to be made on the spot by players. The only thing I ask is that you make proper attributions & that you email me with notes on how the spell worked out in play.

Divine Protection

Spell: Divine Protection
Type/Color: I/White
Target: One Character, Hired Native or Controlled Monster
Duration: Day
Description: The target of this spell is given an aura of holy protection. The Vulnerability changes so that it counts as an Armored creature (see the rules for Armored Natives & Monsters). If the target is already an Armored Denizen, this spell has no effect. Once the spell is broken, the target returns to normal.

Type III Spells

Fleet Foot

Type/Color: III/Gold
Target: One Character, Hired Leader or Controlled Monster
Duration: Day
Description: Movement through mountains costs 1 less action.

Author: Robin Warren
Author’s Notes: Note that you can never have less than 1 action, so if you are playing a custom character that gets a move through mountains of 1, you cannot reduce it to zero!

Bewilder

Spell: Bewilder

Duration: Combat
Description: All monsters and denizens in the clearing are exempted from changing tactics during combat. T monsters can still flip to RED-side, because this is not a tactics change.

Author: Robin Warren

Send

Spell: Send

Type/Color: III/Any
Target: Wolves
Duration: Day
Description: Move and fight with the wolves.

Author: Robin Warren
Author’s Notes: This is essentially “Control Bats” for wolves. If you are wondering why it is called “Send”, I invite you to read “ElfQuest” by Wendy and Richard Pini.

Author’s Notes: Feel free to use this spell in any games if you wish.

Target: One Character, Monster or Native killed earlier in the same Day

Medium	VUL: Medium Armored; Att: M4; Move: 4
Heavy	VUL: Heavy Armored; Att: H5; Move: 5

A Zombie never flips in combat. The Zombie is a Controlled Monster that is destroyed when the spell expires. If the zombie is killed in combat it is destroyed.
