# Classic Spell Collection

This spell library contains a collection pre-built spells for use in *Open Adventure* games. Each describes one way to create a classic spell [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) using the *Open Adventure* rules. These spells are examples of fully packaged spells, where the outcome, the maximum [Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/), the game [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/), the target, and even the [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) are pre-defined. *Open Adventure* gives players great flexibility when it comes to Spellcasting, but this collection demonstrates the use of the *Open Adventure* rules to create more traditional RPG spells.

## Spell Entries

Each spell entry includes:

- **Name**: The name of the spell.
- **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: Depending on the nature of the spell, this is the [Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/) at which the spell [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) originates, the maximum [Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/) for a selected targeted, or the maximum [Distance](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/distance/) at which a target may be manipulated with the spell.
- **Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/)**: If the spell is an Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) spell, this lists the shape and size of the spell.
- **Target**: The target of the spell. A target of **[Self](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/self/)** indicates a spell cast directly on the caster. A target of **character** means the spell may target a Player Character, NPC, or [Adversary](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/adversary/). A target of **target space** indicates a point within the spell’s [Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/) where the spell [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) will be centered.
- **[DS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/ds/)**: The [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) for the [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/).
- **Casting Time**: The base time required to cast the spell.
- **Duration**: Whether the spell creates an instantaneous [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) or a 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/) [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/). Also notes if the spell may be Maintained.
- **Casting Time**:The base time required to cast the spell.
- **[MO](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/mo/)**: MOs that commonly cast this type of spell in a classic fantasy RPG setting. In some settings, the Adventure Guide may wish to limit the use of certain spells or types of spells to specific MOs.
- **Components**:Suggested [Spell Components](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spell-components/) for the spell. If the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) uses [Spell Components](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spell-components/), the Adventure Guide may award a [Benefit](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/benefit/) to the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) Score.
- **Description**:A description of the spell and its game [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/).

## Animate Dead

A corpse touched by the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) returns to a state of unlife under the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s [Control](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/control/).

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/) |
| --- | --- |
| **Target**: | One corpse |
| **[DS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/ds/)**: | 10 |
| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A pinch of grave dust |

A roughly [Human](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/human/)-sized corpse touched by the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) is raised to a state of unlife. It can move, perform simple actions, and will follow the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s orders, but it has no independent thought. Giving the animated dead an order is a Major [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/). Typically, the animated dead will only obey its creator.

Examples of appropriate orders for animated dead include attacking a target, moving to a particular place, and moving an object. The animated corpse cannot cast spells, use special traits or abilities, think for itself, or perform complex actions, regardless of its abilities before death. Once given an order, the animated dead will continue to perform that [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) until it is clearly completed or the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) orders it to do otherwise.

The spell will hold the pieces of a corpse together, allowing the animation of highly decomposed corpses, such [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) skeletons. If scores are needed for the animated dead, use the scores for the Skeleton NPC on page 212 of the Open Adventure: Fantasy Core Rules. Use these scores regardless of how intact the corpse is.

The corpse remains animated [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) [Long](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/long/) [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) Maintains the spell. With the Adventure Guide’s permission, the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) may make the spell permanent, rather than Maintained, by expending 5 [Story Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/story-points/).

## Animate Vines

Vines spring to life and entangle the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s enemies.

| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A small wreath of woven vines |

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) causes vines to spring from the ground and wrap around the target. On a successful Spellcasting [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) Check, the target is Grabbed by the vines [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) per the [Grab](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/grab/) [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) described on page 168 of the Open Adventure: Fantasy Core Rules. The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) may Maintain the spell (and thus the [Grab](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/grab/)) or make additional Animate Vines Spellcasting Checks to perform Harm, Restrain, or other actions allowed against a Grabbed target.

The target may make a standard Escape Check to escape the vines, with the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) substituting a [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/) for the typical opposed [Coordination](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/coordination/) Check or [Strength](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/strength/) Check. Unless the target is Restrained, they may use an [Attack](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/attack/) Check with an edged weapon for their Escape Check. This represents the target hacking their way free. The target may not Drag the vines, [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) they are immobile.

The Adventure Guide should apply an appropriate [Reality Modifier](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reality-modifier/) based on the location. For instance, the modifier may [Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/) from +0 in an outdoor area with lots of growing plants to +6 if the spell is cast on the second floor of a stone building.

## Arcane Bolt

The foe is struck by a blue bolt of arcane energy.

| **Duration**: | Instantaneous |
| **Components**: | A small chip of lapis lazuli |

A bolt of blue energy streaks from the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s fingertips toward the target.

This shield allows the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) to add the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of the Spell to their [Body Defense](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-defense/) against any [Attack](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/attack/) a character with a real shield could block. The maximum [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) is equal to the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s Spellcasting [Primary Attribute](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/primary-attribute/).

| **Components**: | Smoke from a swung censer |

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) calls upon the divine power of the gods to [Aid](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/aid/) the heroes. On a successful [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/), allies within the Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) when the spell is cast gain a [Benefit](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/benefit/) to all [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) Scores. Characters entering the Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) after the spell is cast do not gain the [Benefit](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/benefit/). The [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) lasts until the start of the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s next [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/), although the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) may choose to Maintain the spell.

## Bull’s [Strength](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/strength/)

The target of the spell is infused with the raw [Strength](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/strength/) of a bull.

| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A pinch of bull’s hair or a chip of bull’s horn |

On a successful [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/), a red nimbus which vaguely resembles a bull or minotaur surrounds the recipient, and the target’s [Strength](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/strength/) Attribute increases by the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/). The maximum [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) is equal to the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s Spellcasting [Primary Attribute](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/primary-attribute/).

## Charm

The target is ensorcelled and must obey the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s commands.

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/) |
| --- | --- |
| **Target**: | One character |
| **[DS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/ds/)**: | Target’s [Mind Defense](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/mind-defense/) + 2 ([Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)) |
| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A dollop of fresh honey |

The magic entwines itself around the mind of the target so they will obey the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s commands. The target will not do something they are opposed to, nor will it make them behave in a way that is counter to their nature. The Charm spell is not mind [Control](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/control/), but rather it is the use of magic to convince a person to go along with something already aligned with their beliefs and desires. Charm may not be used by a Player Character to direct the Actions of another Player Character.

The spell lasts until the start of the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s next [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/), although they may choose to Maintain the spell. [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) a Minor [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/), the subject of a Maintained Charm spell may make a [Willpower](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/willpower/) Check with a [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) equal to the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of the original [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/) to attempt to break free of the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s power. On a success the spell ends.

## Confusion

Twists the mind of the target so they cannot tell what is real.

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/) |
| --- | --- |
| **Target**: | One character |
| **[DS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/ds/)**: | Target’s [Mind Defense](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/mind-defense/) + 3 ([Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)) |
| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A spinning top |

The spell twists the target’s mind, leaving them uncertain about what is real, who their friends are, and what is happening around them. The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) does not [Control](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/control/) what the target sees, hears, or thinks, but rather distorts the target’s thinking to the point where they struggle to take actions on their [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/).

At the beginning of their [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/), a target affected by the Confusion spell must roll on the Confusion Table below to determine how they behave that [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/).

## Confusion Table

| **d6 Result** | **Target’s [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) for the [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/)** |

| **5** | Takes no actions and moves in a random direction to a position a [Stone Throw](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/stone-throw/) away, even if that movement places the target in harm’s way. |
| **6** | Makes an [Attack](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/attack/) Check against a random target within [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/). |

If their roll on the Confusion Table allows it, the subject of a Confusion spell may use a Minor [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) to make a [Willpower](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/willpower/) Check with a [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) equal to the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of the original [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/). On a success, they break free of the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s power and the spell ends.

## Cure Disease

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/) |
| --- | --- |

| **Duration**: | Instantaneous |
| **Components**: | A leaf of deadly nightshade |

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) reaches out, touches the target, and forces them to make an immediate [Death Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/death-check/), regardless of their current [Body Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-points/) or [Wound](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/wound/) Status. For Player Characters, determine the base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) normal for a [Death Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/death-check/) from a Body [Wound](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/wound/). For NPCs, the base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) is the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of the [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/).

The spell does not reveal the origin or nature of the evil, nor does it expose the details around a target’s evil intentions. Inanimate objects do not typically have a spirit, so they have [Spirit Defense](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spirit-defense/) 0.

## Detect Invisible

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Self](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/self/) |
| --- | --- |
| **Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/):** | [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/) ([Sphere](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/sphere/)) |

The spell does not make the target visible, identify the invisible thing, or track the thing if it moves. It simply tells the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) that there is something invisible in the room and where it is located. The base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) is 3 or the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of the [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/) made to [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/) the thing invisible, whichever is higher.

This spell emulates a standard [Attack](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/attack/): Melee [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) and is resolved accordingly. The added wrinkle is that any [Challenge](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/challenge/) Points or [Body Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-points/) lost from the spell represent a complete disintegration of a portion of the target. Targets reduced to 0 [Challenge](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/challenge/) Points from the spell are completely disintegrated, along with items they are wearing or carrying. Player Characters reduced to 0 [Body Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-points/) take a [Wound](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/wound/) normally and make the associated [Death Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/death-check/). If this [Death Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/death-check/) leads to the eventual death of the Character, at the moment of death, their body and anything they are wearing or carrying disintegrates.

## Dispel Magic

Ends a magical [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s choosing.

If the Dispel Magic [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/) succeeds, the target spell ceases and its non-permanent effects end. Add a [Drawback](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/drawback/) to the [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) to dispel an actively Maintained spell. If the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) has a Readied [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/), they may use this spell to counter a spell their opponent just cast, but add a [Drawback](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/drawback/) to the [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/).

## Empower Spell

Increase the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of a maintained spell, making it harder for targets to break free of the magic.

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Self](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/self/) or [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/) |
| --- | --- |
| **Target**: | One spell |
| **[DS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/ds/)**: | Spell’s Current [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) + 3 ([Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)) |
| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A pinch of diamond dust |

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) increases the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of a Maintained Spell in the same fashion [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) an Assist [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/). The base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) is the spell’s current [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/). The empowerment lasts until the start of the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s next [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/), or [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) [Long](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/long/) [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) they Maintain the empowerment. They may repeat the spell to further empower the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/), but the base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) for the next casting is the spell’s [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) empowered by the previous spell. Each empowerment counts [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) an additional Maintained spell, adding yet another [Drawback](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/drawback/) to the Difficulty Scores for all other Actions. This is in addition to the [Drawback](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/drawback/) from Maintaining the original spell.

## Ethereal Hand

Use a glowing, magical hand to manipulate items from a [Distance](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/distance/).

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/) |
| --- | --- |
| **Target**: | One object |

| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A songbird’s talon |

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) creates an ethereal hand they may use to perform Minor Actions or Major Actions they could normally perform with one hand and that do not require an [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) Check. The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) may use the hand to [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/) far away objects. The objects may not weight more than the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) can normally lift with one hand. The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) may also assign the hand a simple task, like stirring a pot or moving a pile of logs from one place to another. Once the hand is assigned a task in this fashion, it continues to perform the task [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) [Long](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/long/) [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) the spell is Maintained, until it is impossible to continue the task, or until the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) changes the task.

## Faerie Door

A magical door allows the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) to step through to another place.

| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/) |
| **Components**: | A small chip of lapis lazuli |

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) uses their talisman to trace the outline of a door, causing a glowing portal to another place to appear in space before them. Stepping through the door is a Minor [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/). The door closes at the end of the [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/) during which the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) cast the Faerie Door spell. In addition to the modifiers for the base casting [Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/) ([Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/)) and reality alteration (Significant), there is an additional modifier to the [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) based on how far it is to the door’s destination. Use the standard [Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/) Modifiers for Spellcasting. The destination must be within [Line of Sight](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/line-of-sight/) or a place the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) knows intimately, such [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) their [Wizard](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/wizard/)’s tower or their home.

Other characters (friends or enemies) may use the door, but they must have a Readied [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) so they can step through before the door closes at the end of the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/)’s [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/).

## Fear

The targets are overwhelmed by a sense of soul-crushing fear.

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/) |
| --- | --- |
| **Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/):** | [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/) ([Sphere](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/sphere/)) |
| **Target**: | Target Space |
| **[DS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/ds/)**: | 3 ([Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)) + 3 (Size) |
| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A pinch of crushed bone and dried blood |

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) rubs the mixed bone and blood between their palms while casting the spell. On a successful [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/), all living creatures in the Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) must make a [Resilience](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/resilience/) Check with a base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) equal to the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/). If they fail, they lose [Challenge](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/challenge/) Points or Spirit Points equal to the amount they rolled under the [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/). Armor (Spirit) reduces the Spirit Point or [Challenge](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/challenge/) Point loss. The Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) is only to determine who is initially affected. Characters who enter the Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) later are not affected by the spell.

If a target’s Spirit Points or [Challenge](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/challenge/) Points are reduced to 0, they are overcome with fear. The only [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) they may attempt on their [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/) is to move away from the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/). The condition persists [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) [Long](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/long/) [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) Maintains the spell, but the targets may attempt a new [Resilience](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/resilience/) Check against the same [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) each [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/) [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) a Major [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) to overcome the spell’s power. The point loss from this spell inflicted on the targets does not cause Wounds.

Characters may perform a Recovery [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) on allies stricken with fear. If the Target’s Spirit Points are restored to 1 or higher, they overcome their fear.

## Fireball

Throw a roiling ball of flame that explodes when it hits the target.

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) blows on the coal which causes it to glow red, then throws the coal at the target space. On a successful [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/), the coal explodes into a ball of fire with an Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/). All living creatures within the Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) must make a [Reaction](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reaction/) Check with a base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) equal to the spell’s [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) to leap clear. On a failed [Reaction](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reaction/) Check, the target loses [Body Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-points/) or [Challenge](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/challenge/) Points equal to the amount they rolled under the [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/).

The Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) is covered with a coating of slippery grease. Targets may make a [Reaction](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reaction/) Check to escape the area, [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) per the standard rules for Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) Actions and spells. While the spell is Maintained, moving through the greased area requires a Major [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/).

## Haste

The target moves at incredible speed.

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/) |
| --- | --- |
| **Target**: | One target |

In addition, the target may make the same [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) Check twice [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) a single Major [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/). The spell does, however, have an unfortunate side-[Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/). For each [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/) the character benefits from the Haste spell, they lose one month off their natural life expectancy. The base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) for a targeted Player Character is their maximum [Body Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-points/).

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/) |

## Hold

Prevent the target from taking any actions.

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/) |

| **Target**: | One character |
| **[DS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/ds/)**: | Target’s [Body Defense](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-defense/) + 3 ([Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)) |

| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A length of [Rope](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/rope/) |

The Hold spell is, effectively, a [Grab](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/grab/) [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) made at [Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/) using magic. On the first casting of the spell, the target is Grabbed [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) per th e [Grab](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/grab/) [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/). The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) may cast Hold on the same target on a later [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/) to change the [Grab](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/grab/) to a Restrain, [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) per the Restrain [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/). The second casting is simply an improvement of the original spell and does not need to be Maintained independently.

## Invisibility

Turns the target invisible.

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/) |

| **Target**: | One character |
| **[DS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/ds/)**: | Target’s Maximum [Body Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-points/) + 3 ([Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)) + 6 (Reality) |
| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A clear glass [Sphere](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/sphere/) |

This spell turns the target and everything they are wearing or carrying invisible to all forms of natural sight. Only items worn or carried at the time the spell is cast gain the spell’s benefits. New items picked up or put on while invisible remain visible. This means if blood spatters on them, if they pick something up, or if a clever foe covers them with something, all of these will remain visible even if the character and their belongs remain unseen.

The base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) for a targeted Player Character is their maximum [Body Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-points/). For targeted NPCs, the base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) is their Body Score times three. While invisible, the invisible character has a [Drawback](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/drawback/) on the Difficulty Scores for any [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) Check requiring [Coordination](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/coordination/) or manual dexterity.

The target does not cast a shadow, but they may leave footprints or other signs of their passing. They are detectable to touch, and if they move objects that movement is visible. Attacks against an invisible character must rely on pure luck or other senses, and the Adventure Guide should apply one or more [Drawbacks](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/drawbacks/) [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) appropriate.

## Killer Cloud

A cloud of acrid green smoke fills the air and burns the lungs of those caught within.

| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A coal from a blacksmith’s forge |

A cloud of thick green smoke boils up from the target space with an Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/). All creatures within the Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) that breathe must make a [Reaction](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reaction/) Check with a base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) equal to the spell’s [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) to leap clear or at least hold their breath. On a failed [Reaction](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reaction/) Check, they breathe in the smoke and lose [Body Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-points/) or [Challenge](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/challenge/) Points equal to the amount they rolled under the [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/). Armor (Body) does not reduce the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/).

[Attack](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/attack/) Checks made into, out of, or through the cloud suffer a [Drawback](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/drawback/) due to obscured vision. A moderate wind will dissipate the cloud after 2 Rounds; This ends the spell even if it is being Maintained. Characters that hold their breath can pass through the cloud without harm.

## Levitate

The target rises slowly into the air.

| **[Range](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/range/)**: | [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/) |
| --- | --- |
| **Target**: | One target |

| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | Breath of a child |

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) causes a target of roughly [Human](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/human/) size to float up or down. The maximum weight they can levitate is 100 pounds for each point of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/). Moving the target up to [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/) [Distance](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/distance/) or holding it at a point above the ground requires the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) to use a Major [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/).

If cast on an unwilling target, add the target’s [Mind Defense](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/mind-defense/) or [Spirit Defense](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spirit-defense/) to the [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/). Unwilling targets of the spell may use a Major [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) on their [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/) to make a [Resilience](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/resilience/) Check or [Willpower](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/willpower/) Check against a [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) equal to the spell’s [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) to break the spell. On a success, the spell is broken and the target is no longer levitating—which might not be a good thing depending on how high up the target is.

## Levitating Litter

A glowing sheet of arcane energy that carries whatever is placed on it and floats along behind the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/).

| **Duration**: | 1 [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/), Maintained |
| **Components**: | A small clay dish |

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) creates a magical construct roughly the size of a stretcher.

The spell only works if the body is left in a state where it could continue to function when brought back. Beheading, disintegration, cremation, and loss of vital organs make it impossible to bring the target back, although loss of limbs or similar serious injuries might be acceptable if the Adventure Guide allows.

Only one attempt is allowed. If the [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/) fails, the character is beyond the help of magic.

## Read Languages

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) can read any language.

For instance, a person transformed into a fish could breathe underwater, and a person transformed into a bird could fly. If the target of the spell is unwilling, add the target’s [Body Defense](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-defense/) to the Spellcasting Checks’ [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/).

## Sleep

Everyone in the area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) feels a sudden, uncontrollable desire to go to sleep.

| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | Instantaneous |

On a successful [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/), all living creatures in the Area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) must make a [Willpower](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/willpower/) Check with a base [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) equal to the spell’s [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/).

Armor (Mind) reduces the number of points lost. NPCs and Adversaries reduced to 0 [Challenge](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/challenge/) Points fall into a deep slumber for hours equal to the [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/)’s [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/). For NPCs and Adversaries not reduced to 0, the [Challenge](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/challenge/) Point loss represents lethargy and a general feeling of tiredness.

When a Player Character is reduced to 0 [Mind Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/mind-points/), their Incapacitation takes the form of a deep sleep. Reducing a Player Characters [Mind Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/mind-points/) to 0 in this fashion does not cause a [Wound](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/wound/). Any [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) by an ally that raises the character’s [Mind Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/mind-points/) above 0 wakes the character. The character may not perform a [Self](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/self/)-Recovery but they may use the [Catch Your Breath](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/catch-your-breath/) version of the Recovery [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) to awaken.

| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | Instantaneous |
| **Components**: | A piece of parchment |

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) sends a message directly into the mind of the target. The length of the message should be something the character could realistically say in 1 [Turn](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/turn/). If the target is unwilling, add the target’s [Mind Defense](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/mind-defense/) to the [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/).

## Teleport

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) is instantly transported to another place.

| **Casting Time**: | 6 seconds |
| **Duration**: | Instantaneous |

On a successful [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/), the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) disappears from their original location and reappears at the desired end point. The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) does not pass through the space between the two points. The end point must be a place the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) can see [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) per the [Line of Sight](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/line-of-sight/) requirement for spells, and no farther than a [Stone Throw](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/stone-throw/) away.

The [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) includes a +6 [Reality Modifier](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reality-modifier/) to reflect the impossibility of the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/). This modifier also reflects that such movement avoids any dangers between the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) and their destination, and opponents are not able to interrupt the movement.

On a [Critical Failure](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/critical-failure/), the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) still teleports, but they move the desired [Distance](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/distance/) in a random direction (including up or down). If this places the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) within another object, they instantly teleport back to the starting point but suffer a loss of [Body Points](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/body-points/) equal to the amount they rolled under the [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/).

Channel divine power to destroy undead.

The [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) brandishes their holy symbol and calls on their chosen god to drive back the undead. On a successful [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/), the targeted undead creatures must move away from the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) and remain at least [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/) while the spell is Maintained. Affected undead may continue to move toward and [Attack](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/attack/) other characters or take any other [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/), so [Long](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/long/) [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) they remain [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/) (or further) from the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/).

If the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) advances on the affected undead, the undead retreat [Across the Room](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/across-the-room/) again on their next [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/). Attempting to force any of the affected undead into harm’s way, such [AS](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/as/) into a known trap or off a cliff, ends the spell for all the targets. If the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/) performs any other [Attack](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/attack/) [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) against the affected undead, this also ends the spell. Undead with ranged attacks may still make [Attack](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/attack/) Checks against the [Spellcaster](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcaster/).

If the [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/) fails to reduce the [Challenge](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/challenge/) Points to 0, the Adventure Guide may allow the character to Maintain the spell, applying the same [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) each [Round](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/round/) until they [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/) the end of the climb.

The area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) is filled with sticky spiderwebs. Targets caught in the area of [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) are Restrained and must make an Escape Check to reduce the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) to a [Grab](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/grab/) and then a second Escape check to break completely free of the web. Alternatively, characters who are no restrained may use edged weapons to cut free of the webs with an [Attack](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/attack/) Check. Applying an open flame to the webs automatically destroys all the webs within [Reach](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/reach/). The [Difficulty Score](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/difficulty-score/) for any [Action](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/action/) Checks to break free is equal to the [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) of the [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/). Characters free of the web that step into a webbed space must make a [Coordination](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/coordination/) Check against the [Spellcasting Check](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/spellcasting-check/)’s [Effect](https://openadventurerpg.com/glossary/effect/) or they are immediately Restrained.
