Duration: Special	Saving Throw: None
Area of Effect: Special

Explanation/Description: With this spell, the caster enchants a pair of opals, one white and one black, to hold mana. The opals must each be worth 2000 GP per unit stored. The caster can store any amount of mana upto this amount, however it will leak away at 1 unit per hour on any world where normal magic operates, unless kept in an Anti-Magic Shell, or similar device. The mana thus stored can be released by the mage by command, as a 1 segment action at the start of a spellcast. This destroys the opals, and releases all the mana contained therein, the mage can use this to power a spell, of upto the appropriate level. This mana will be available even in an antimagic shell, or on most worlds where magic does not work. The opals can be recharged, as long as they contain mana, by casting the No Effect spells into them, which will recharge the appropriate number of units. Note that the spell cast uses up one of the casters spellcasts for the day, and if he is on a world on which spells must be memorised in advance, must be one of those spells the caster has memorised. Such gems can be built into an item at its construction to power it, say as a seal on a scroll. Note that designing an item which will power itself both from such mana stores and normal mana flows adds 25% to the construction cost. The store must be charged up using No Effect spells.

Explanation/Description: This spell is intended for use in conjunction with Examine Delayed Magic, to allow manipulation of effects examined by the lower level spell. Manipulation to activate or block a change of state, or to suppress an already examined protection is normally carries out at the basic chance given under EDM. Penalties for attempts to manipulate magic where examination has failed are variable but usually serious. Protections that have been successfully bypassed with EDM can normally be automatically bypassed by a MDM cast in the same session.

A casting of this spell enables a single manipulation to be carried out; the manipulation can be done at any time during the spell duration, but its effects will cease when the spell duration expires. Successive additional castings each double the duration.

This spell can also be used to set off a magical item. It can also prevent an item from operating the next time it is activated, but this will only work if teh activation occurs during the (possibly supplemented) spell duration.

The material component of this spell are the same as those for EDM (i.e a miniature set of ritual magic implements costing at least 500 GP which are used up). If this spell is cast when an EDM is in effect, the same set of components may be used.

Range: 0	Casting Time: 8 segs

Area of Effect: Caster

Explanation/Description: This spell calls into being a telekinetic defense, partially automatic, partially under the caster's control. All incoming missiles, of up to 25lb/level weight and up to 10 ft in longest dimension, are affected. At the casters option, they either whip once round him and return to sender (using the casters to hit, with no non-proficiency penalties, including the misssiles plusses), or are stored orbiting him. The caster may effect twice level missiles per round, with those orbiting him at any point in the round counting towards this total. Any missile which causes a maximum damage of above 10 pts counts as (maximum damage not including magical plusses)/10 missiles, round to nearest, for this purpose. Any number of orbiting missiles may be fired at a single target, on a reaction roll, with the mage striking as a fighter of his level, with bonusses as above, on a reaction roll. The second and subsequent missiles are at a penalty of -1 to hit per missile previously fired in this volley, due to the problem of coordinating their orbits. The mage may fire as many volleys as he can fit into the round. The missiles will tend to avoid obstructions around the mage, though there is a 10% chance per missile per round, of them striking anything within 5'. If one does so roll to hit as for a returned missile. If it misses it will continue orbiting, having glanced off (or may at DMs option stick in shields etc). Anyone attacking the mage will suffer a -1 to hit per 10 missiles, or fraction thereof, above the first 5 orbiting the mage, due to the difficulty in closing. Note that small flying opponents who charge the mage will suffer a -1 per 3" move to hit penalty on first attack, and may well end up heading the way they were going.
