Rank 3 Spells and Their Effects

As many seasoned adventurers will tell you, there are individuals and cretures with magical powers greater than those available to normal characters. These magics stem from the recognisable Spheres of magic, but demonstrate a mastery and a power not normally seen.

In the normal course of play characters will not have access to Rank 3 spells, the majority of the time they will be used by Monsters/NPCs. The affects of these spells are listed here so if you are (un)fortunate to be affected by such a spell you will know how to react. Normally individuals using these spells will have a Referee present.

Rank 3 Default values 1 minute. 60 ft. Man sized (suit of armour etc.)

Warding

This allows a place or object to be warded against a specific type of creature (e.g. undead/living creature etc.). Any spells cast into the warding will be cast upon the creature, (e.g. spirit bolt etc). No limit to the number of charges of a spell cast into warding but will only cast one charge at a time. Places or objects can have more than one warding cast upon them and each warding can carry a different spell, e.g. one Spirit Bolt and one Magic Missile. Wards are static fields around an object or person and therefore cannot move or be moved, and whilst they can be increased in duration by the spell Extension they must be armed with the warding spells at time of casting and cannot be recharged.
