Invented Spells

[Stone Gargoyle]

In my Heroes Unlimted game, I have borrowed spell categories such as Fleshscuptor spells and Mirror Magic from Nightbane, but these also inspired me to create new spells like Painter magic. I mentioned this in a thread on Heroes Unlimited's boards, but thought if I posted them it should be in an area appropriate for such tings. Is there a specific thread intended for the posting of spells similar to what HU@ has with the New Powers thread? If not, how should I go about posting them?

Start below this post.

Okay, cool. I will begin posting them as I have time over the next several days.

[Damian Magecraft]

perhaps we should do something similar to the new powers thread then as so many of us have developed the odd spell or 2?

Go for it. I am more than willing to share this thread.

That said, most of the powers I will be posting are based around the concept of spells by profession due to magic being controlled by secret societies like the freemasons who started out as a labor guild. The Painter OCC is exclusive like the Mirror Magic, but the Tailor spells would be more accessible, just cost twice the PPE for non-Tailor mages.

Behave.

The Painter magic assumes the existance of several new subrealms similar to the Mirrorwall and Astral Plane, referred to as the Gallery and the Paintscape.

[Stone Gargoyle]

Painting Magic
Level One

Manipulate Image
Range: 20 feet
Duration: One day per level
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 4
Effect: This causes subtle changes in a painting. The painting will react to the person looking at it, smirking in judgement, glaring, eyes following the person, fidgeting slightly or making slight movements. This can be unnerving and bothersome, especially if the people looking at it are slightly superstitious or paranoid.
It can include making a cigarette smolder, grass or leaves in the painting appear to blow, or any other effect desired by the caster.

Portrait Speech
Range: Special
Duration: Half hour per level
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 4
The mage can yell into a painting the name of a friend and have it echo across the Paintscape. When it is heared, the message will be relayed by the Portraits when next the friend walks in front of a painting, This is not reliable, as Portraits will not relay the message until sure of the person they are to deliver it to, so this can take months or even years, if at all.

Destroy Painting
Range: 10 feet
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 1 per square foot
The mage can cause a painting to self-destruct. Depending on the mage, the painting may crumble, the paint may run and smear, or the painting may burst into flames. Call it an artistic fit.
Limit: cannot affect any painting magically protected

Create Painting
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 4
The mage can touch an empty canvas and have images from his imagination or subconscious mind form in paint instantly. This will be be a static, unmoving image unless other sspells are cast as well. In addition, created by magic, this painting cannot be destroyed by anyone but the mage who created it. This can be done by the mage without expending P.P.E. at a moment's thought.

Artist's Nude
Range: 10 feet
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 4
The mage can cause the clothing of any target to unfasten and unbuckle, falling to the ground. If used as an attack, the stripped person losses initiative and one attack, as well as any bonuses to armor provided by the clothing.

[Stone Gargoyle]

Tailoring Spells
Level One

Sense Fabric
Range: 100 feet
Duration: 1 melee round
Saving throw: none

Cloud of Steam

Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 2
Size Max: 30 X30 X30 feet
This magic enables the sorcerer to create an area of steamy air (probably developed as a fabric cleaning method). This makes the mage immune to cold attacks while in the area and allows him to travel in cold areas for a short time without weather protection.

Destroy Fabric
Range: 10 feet
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 1 per 20 lbs
This spell utterly destroys fabric, leaving it a pile of dust.

Preserve Fabric
Range: Touch
Duration: 1d4 weeks

[Stone Gargoyle]

Painting Magic
Level Two

Replace Canvas
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 5
This allows a mage to repair damage artist's canvas instantly.

See Through Painted Eyes
Range: 5 feet
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 4
This spell allows the mage to see anything "viewed" by the portrait within the last 24 hours, but it is limited to faces. This can be important if trying to find someone who defaced art or may have committed a crime within a museum.

Life Painting
Range: Touch
Duration: Special
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 8
The mage paints a portrait of a person. As a result, the painting shows the person at all times doing whatever they are doing as if constantly on film, except the scene is limited to the space around the person as painted and the portrait is always the same angle and size. So if a ortrait is of the head, it only shows the head but the scene behind it would change. Likewise, if a full body portrait is done, the body would always be visible with other people passing, stepping into and out of frame.
Destruction of the painting would not harm the person in any way, just limit the ability to monitor them. The person's distance is irrelevent to to its ability to show them.
Effectively, this shows if a person is under attack, injured, etc., allowing others to come to their aid. Or it could be used to monitor a child.

Landscape Painting
Range: Touch
Duration: Special
Saving Throw: none
P.P.e. cost: 8
The mage paints a landscape portrait where there are no people around (otherwise works the same as Life Painting) so as to monitor a house or location. Destruction of the painting will not affect the location in any way, just limit the ability to watch the location.
Effectively, this allows the mage to watch who comes and goes or events taking place. The distance is always set; the mage cannot zoom in or out.

Object Painting
Range: Touch
Duration: Special
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 8
The mage paints an object with no background to monitor object.
Destruction of the painting has no effect on the object, just limits the ability to see the object. The object always appears the same size and at the same angle, even if flipped over, so seeing people around it can sometimes be difficult. Can be used to track thefts if allowing the object to be stolen, or to protect valuables.

Regarding Weaving Magic

This was originally intended as its own school, but I have developed insufficient spells as of yet to allow it to stand on its own merits. The spell category could be expanded, but I have not really worked out how as of yet.

This spell allows the mage to step into the paintscape, becoming a Portrait (HP and SDC combine for new SDC). Only Painting Spells work within the Paintscape. This spell differs from Portrait of the Artist in that the mage can immediately locate a nearby Framework and exit. If a Portrait is in the way, he may push past to get out.
If the character is not out of the Paintscape before the duration of the spell is up, he loses all sense of direction and will have to enlist the aid of of a Portrait in locating a Framework to exit, although he will probably be nowhere near where he expected.

P.P.E. cost: 55
The mage can use this spell to mentally link to a Portrait or Painted Animal. The two become one, with the mage as friend and master. He will be able to sense everything the Portrait does and send it on errands. It will obey all commands, verbal and mental, but since most Portraits are very unintelligent, it will not be very good at reporting to the mage verbally.

Clothing With Personality
Tange: Touch
Duration: 1 month per level, but can be made permanent
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 120, plus 5 permanently lost to make the spell permanent
This spell creates a arment, usually a hat, which has the ability to speak, its folds forming a face, and which moves by slithering or hopping around. It has a personality and knowledge determined by the mage (roll stats for IQ, MA and ME), but will always be less than those of the mage creating it. It can automatically read the aura of the wearer and may be inclined to proudly announce them and their good qualities (if good) or shiver in fear (if evil). It will possess one skill per level of the caster also.
Other spells may be cast on the garmant item may save against magic at a +2 and is immune to illusion.

Painting Spells
Level Ten

It Just Speaks To Me
Range: Touch
Duration: one month per level for increased intelligence, after which it becomes a normal portrait, unless spell is made permanent
Saving Throw: none unless using an existing Portrait
P.P.E. cost: 120, plus 5 permanently lost to make spell permanent
This spell allows the mage to create an intelligent Portrait with a personality and knowledge determined by the mage (normally the creation of normal Portraits is done automatically when a portrait is painted and they have the mind of a newborn child and personality is random). One skill per level is given, equal in proficiency to the caster at the time it is created. The image can also speak (rather than a normal Portrait's ability to repeat words or babble jibberish) in complex sentences. Roll stats for IQ, MA and ME (cannot be greater than those of the mage creating it).
It may be used by the mage as an advisor, tormentor or friend. It can also be used as a spy which can communicate more than an ordinary Portrait can.

Create Living Portrait
Range: Touch
Duration: 2 minutes per level
Saving Throw: Standard
P.P.E. cost: 70
This spell allows the mage to bring things out of the Paintscape into the mage's dimension, solidifying it into a physical animal.
Once the being has bveen summoned, it simply stands there until commanded by the mage. Animals will obey the will and desires of the mage but otherwise have no motivation to do anything. It will act as the mage believes it should, so if the mage tells it to behave as something other than what it looks like, it will.
Objects like daggers and such will act as normal, but complex items like guns, although they can be brought forth, will not work.
If pressed back toward the canvas, the summoned object or animal will revert to normal and pass through the Framework into the Paintscape. If pressed into a wall, as by a truck or unable to escape, it can survive by turning into a mural. If it is killed or in water or unable to paint itself onto anything, the image dissolves as a splatter of paint which is useless for painting anything ever again, as it is effectively dead.

Hellacious Painting
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 80
The mage literally covers a person in paint and spat5ters them onto a canvas, allowing them to be pulled into the Paintscape without the benefit of a Framework, rolling up the painting and storing it in a dry place. The person will wander the painscape as a Portrait, unable to free himself.

The Clothes Make The Man
Range: Touch
Duration: One Hour per Level
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 180
Casting Time: One hour
This ritual takes a hair from the subject to be impersonated. The mage uses it when he animates a pile of clothing to make it appear to be the subject the hair was taken from, and has it impersonate the person long enough to steal something or perform a simple errand. It cannot speak unless unless this spell is combined with the Clothing With Personality spell. IQ, MA and ME are 6; PS, PP and PE are 10 to the magical construct.

Painting Spells
Level Eleven

Walking the Gallery: Lesser
Range: Special
Duration: One Hour
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 80
The mage creates a stable corridor when entering the Gallery bu Portal, allowing him time to browse and select new paintings to view and pass through. While on the walkway, the mage can only carry 30 extra pounds of gear. Paintings still lead into the Paintscape and he has to travel back via a Framework as normal.
If spending too much time on the "Bridge", the mage will "fall" through the nearest painting, potentially becoming lost in the Paintscape.

Paint the Town
Range: Up to 10 miles per level
Saving Throw: none; people and animals, standard
P.P.E. cost: 140
The mage can influence the colors of all things in range via this spell or selectively pick things he wishes to change.
This might be used by an eccentric mage who wants to see red water and purple birds, by a thief who wishes to quickly change the color of stolen cars, or to confuse and torment people. Used creatively, it could camoflage an area by making everything the same color (viewer is -5 to Percertion rolls) or a pattern of colors (-10 to Perception). In combat, the color factor might make an enemy blind, making them -4 to strike and -2 to combat rolls.
The mage can also paint others to look like himself, paint his image on walls, etc. Combined with other spells, this makes the painter highly dangerous.

Man of the Cloth
Range: Self
Duration: 20 minutes per level
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 250
The mage can change himself into a magical construct of fabric. As such, he retains his mental abilities but all physical attributes are reduced to 10. He can still see and hear, but the body can completely collapse as if clothing and has no heat emissions, breathing by air hitting the fabric. SDC of mage as construct is equal to the mage's HP and SDC added together. Damage to the fabric form may be fixed by sewing, but any damage not repaired transfers to the mage's normal form when he reverts to normal.

with this spell, the caster is able to convince the Game Master that a brand new made up spell that doesn't appear in any printed form anywhere is actually okay to use for their game and the character automatically starts with that spell beginning at level one. no matter what that spell might be or how ridiculous it is.

once cast, the new spell just invented is also to be automatically included in every magicians spell list no matter where in the megaverse they might be. whether they actually take the time to learn the new spell or not is up to them.

Painter Spells

Level Thirteen

Painted Lady
Range: Touch
Duration: Special, Indefinite
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E. cost: 90
This spell allows the mage to combine the images from several paintings to define a single dwelling within the Paintscape (which is normally hit and miss results) where the mage can store belonings and even sleep! The benefit of this is that the mage will not be found using normal search methods and can live without needing to eat or drink within the Paintscape! This also allows the mage to enter a safe area of the Paintscape before venturing out, with the entrances possibly hundreds of miles apart in normal reality!

Level Fourteen

Walking the Gallery: Greater
Range: Special
Duration: One Hour
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 140
The mage can create a stable corridor when entering the Gallery by Portal, allowing him to bring up to 10 people with him, maximum weight being 2000 pounds. They must remain together withing 20 feet on either side of the mage and pass through with him into the Paintscape. If the Group gets seperated from the mage, or if the duration of the spell elapses, the walkway will collapse and the group will "fall" through paintings into the Paintscape, potentially lost forever if the mage cannot guide them out.

Level Fifteen

Picasso's Castle
Range: Touch
Duration: Indefinite
Saving Throw: none
P.P.E. cost: 300, 15 of which is permanently lost from the mage
This ritual enchants a painting with such confusing imagery that it leads to a different plane other than the Paintscape, in a little known reality beyond it. Patterns are then painted on a victim matching those of the painting on the canvas, which will not have a frame.
The physics of the new reality basically suck the victim in, incorporating him into its design, making the victim unable to be extracted, ever. The person remains technically alive, but must roll a new permanent insanity each melee round in the new dimension.

I have to admit...I'm quite taken with StoneGargoyle's Painting and Tailoring spells...they can serve as both the basis of 'domestic' mage-classes as well as provide more serious mages with useful and entertaining spells for their own use(face it, being a Almighty Mage stinks until you can get to higher levels and acquire wealth to redecorate and hire/impress some servents to darn your socks, unless you've taken the time and effort to learn the necessary skills....the availability of Tailoring and Painting magic allows one to dress to impress and have something to cover up those cold stone walls, while practicing one's First Art)...

Excellent...perfect for fixing those ratty old robes or whipping up something for that lady who's caught your eye...

Thank you. There seemed enough basis for them in mythology and I really was lacking for spells when starting my HU2 campaign, even though I had Nightbane books to work from. The spells were created using the guidelines from Through a Glass Darkly and modeled after spells found in the Nightbane books and in some cases other games.

This appeared in a post for another thread by Mephisto and is repeated here for completeness.

Note that these are the most common Chaos spells that exist. Some special variants of these spells may exist similar to the Corruptor's variant of Black Channels.

Range: Self
Duration: 1 hour per level of experience.
Save: None
P.P.E.: 40
This spell is used by the caster to allow a lesser daemonic presence to enter his mind and control it. There are two ways for this spell to be used. The first is to use this spell after entering a pact with a summoned and bound daemon. In this case the two bargain, and the daemon will often teach the caster a spell or give them some piece of important knowledge in exchange for the use of the practitioners body. Since it has the willing assistance of the spellcaster, it may also use any skills of the practitioner as well as access to all the practitioner's knowledge and experiences. Once the task is completed the daemon may leave the body if it has a beneficial relationship with the caster. However after the allotted time is up, the daemon will usually leave the body whether or not the task was completed. However daemons like running amok and may on occasion refuse to relinquish control In this case the round after the daemon refused to leave, the caster may seek to contest the daemon's control. The second way to use it is to force the daemon into him and steal all his powers for the duration.

The painting spells also lend credence to an idea I had for Rifts Italy/Europe where some of the pre-Rifts populace took refuge inside great works of art that were somehow perserved through the dark centuries...the refugees living in eternal period pieces/pocket universes within each canvas....
