Second Circle Transmutation Spells

  Accelerate Healing (Fast Movement): Subject's natural healing rate for wounds, disease, and poison is doubled for one day per success. If the normal non-magical treatment regiment requires bedrest, medicine, or other care, these things are still required. If a Stamina roll is required for natural healing, it is at -1 difficulty.   This is nicknamed the "Poor Man's Healing Spell" and is gradually falling out of favor, but it still has adherents because of the ongoing secondary effect. For the duration of the spell, the caster has a -1 difficulty bonus on Stamina rolls to resist poisons and diseases. It can also give an unfair edge in drinking contests. It also raises the metabolism a bit temporalily so subjects to the spell tend to be a bit peckishStamina Instant     Bestow Minor Curse: Details pending.     Darkvision: Target can see 60 feet in total darkness, though without being able to distinguish colors. At three successes this is doubled to 120 feet. It last for a scene. Perception Persistent       Dowsing: If on land, the caster can find distant water. If the caster is on or in water, he can find distant land. The spell lasts for ten minutes per success rolled.   The caster can detect the direction and general size of standing bodies of water in a radius of miles equal to the successes he rolled. He can detect underground water in a radius and depth of 20 feet per success from his position.   On water, the caster can detect shorelines within a radius of three miles per success rolled or detect the depth of the sea floor up to 20 feet per success rolled. Perception Persistent       Enhance Armor: The spell temporary enchants a suit of armor for 10 minutes per the caster's Willpower. This can be extended to one hour per the caster's Willpower with an expenditure of 10 drams of reagents.   One Success: +1 soak die   Two Successes: +1 soak die, -1 difficulty soak rolls.   Three Successes: +1 soak die, -2 difficulty soak rolls.   Four Successes: Nothing, special.   Five Successes: +1 soak die, -3 difficulty soak rolls.   Six+ Successes: +2 soak die, -3 difficulty soak rolls.   Stamina Persistent     Fly (Mage Claws, Spider Climb, Feather Fall): Target flies for 10 minutes per success.

Third Circle Transmutation Spells

    Bestow Major Curse (Bestow Minor Curse): Details TBD   Material Bulwark (Appraisal, Faerie Gold): A nonliving object is made more resilient and durable for the caster's Willpower rating in hours. This can be turned from hours to day with ten drams of reagents.   This can be cast on a door or window but it can't be cast on a house or wall.   This can be cast on armor to make it more durable, mimicking the Enhance Armor spell but it tends to make armor heavy and stiff, imposing a Dexterity penalty of +1 on the wearer.   How strong an object is is up to the Game Master's discretion but for a general guideline this will affect the Lifting and Feats of Strength chart chart by one level, two levels if the caster got three or more successes. Stamina Instant       Physical Augmentation (Scaly Skin): Target gains one dot of a physical attribute of the caster’s choice per success. You can take it all in one attribute or spread the successes out. Maximum is the target’s normal trait maximum plus two. Each dot of Stamina provides an extra Bruise level. Clothes and armor change slightly with the target so no one rips their shirts growing new muscles.   Maximum is the target’s normal trait maximum plus one (normally 6). Raising an attribute above the maximum usually makes the target stand out as being obviously magically enhanced. Any physical attribute Persistent     Reassert the True Form: A person, creature or object that was subjected to Transmutation magic is restored to it's original form. This is commonly used by Transmuter who get tired of replacing their ruined clothing but it has other uses.   This can reverse lost attribute points one-for-basis with success. It also mends armor, clothing, and even structural damage caused directly by Transmutation magic. It doesn't mend any other kind of damage besides direct magical changes on one's phsyical body or structure or clothing or armor worn by the subject of Transmutation. Repairing large structures usually requires multiple castings.   Using the spell against permanent curses only provides temporary reprieve, only lasting for 30 minutes per success.   It can be used offensively to remove helpful Transmutations. Range is touch. Instant     Terrifying Claws (Mage Claws): As the spell mage Claws, but it inflicts persistent damage rather than lethal damage. Strength Persistent
