The following spells are all those available at character creation.  The verbals and components to learn and cast these spells will be provided to a player once they have made their selection.  Many other spells exist on the islands of the Forgotten King.  A mage will have many chances to expand their knowledge once the character is in play.

How to read a Spell Listing

The spell listings are organized by element and broken down into important, easy to read facts about the spell. The following are a list of terms so that one can better understand the Spell listing.

  • Element: All spells have an element attached to them.  This can determine exactly how the spell functions and what it does.

  • Cost: All spells cost a certain amount of wind to cast depending on the power of its effect and the difficulty to bring that effect into being.

  • Description: This is a description of what the spell looks and feels like.  Usually, this is based on the element that was used to cast it.

  • Effect: This is a description of what the spell actually does to its intended target.  This effect only takes place if the target is hit by the spell.

  • Callword:  This is the words one uses to help other players know how the spell effects them.  Not all spells have or need call words.

  • Range: This is a description of how close or far away a mage can be to cast the spell.  There are three main ranges that most spells fall under.  Personal means the spell only affects the caster.  Touch means the spell can affect any target the caster personally touches.  Bead Bag means the caster can throw the spell by using a bead bag as a physical representation of that spell.

  • Duration: This is a description of how long a spell effect lasts on the target.  There are three main durations that most spells call under.  Instant means the spell’s effect triggers instantly and completely in a single moment.  When there is a specified time this means the spell lasts on its target for that amount of time or until dispelled.  Dawn means that the spell lasts on its target until the next dawn or it has been triggered.
