Area of Effect spells apply a spell’s game effect to everything within the designated Area of Effect. The Spellcaster cannot change the Area of Effect after successfully casting the spell. If they wish to change the Area of Effect, they must end the spell and recast it.

Line: Affects everything in a straight line. The spell’s game effect begins in a space Reach distance from the Spellcaster and extends out to a distance increment of the Spellcaster’s choosing. The line is roughly 1 yard wide and 2 yards tall.

Cone: Affects everything in a cone or fan shaped area. The spell’s game effect begins in a space Reach distance from the Spellcaster and extends out to a length of the Spellcaster’s choosing. The cone’s diameter or fan’s width at the end of the effect may not exceed one range increment shorter than the selected length.

Sphere: Affects everything in a sphere. The center of the sphere is a 5’ x 5’ x 5’ space of the Spellcaster’s choosing. That space serves as the target for determining the spell’s initial range modifier. The Spellcaster chooses the sphere’s diameter.

Plane: A circle of game effect spread over a flat plane, typically a floor, wall, or ceiling. The center of the circle is a roughly 5’ diameter space of the Spellcaster’s choosing, which serves as the target when determining the spell’s range modifier. The Plane shape is typically only used for spells that coat a surface, such as a coating of ice, grease, or water.
