Cogito Ergo Sum (Abjuration)

Level: 9	Components: V
Range: 0	Casting Time: 9 segs
Duration: 1 day	Saving Throw: None
Area of Effect: Caster

Explanation/Description: This spell asserts the caster’ s existence and nature against all reality edits etc. The caster can be moved but not removed from reality. The caster can be transformed but will still be themselves. The caster can of course still be slain (though not by direct reality edit), disintegrated or whatever, but they will still exist. Their essential being (on some plains this is the same as their soul) cannot be destroyed (though it can be flung whimpering to the ends of the cosmos). The caster cannot be directly killed or altered against their will by direct 'editing', only by indirect means.

A few examples to clarify: someone time-travels and kills the caster's grandfather - all the caster's family disappear in a puff of logic, leaving him, inexplicably, around. A reality mage edits reality so that a spear hits the caster and kills him - nothing happens. The same reality mage edits in a twentieth-level fighter with a vorpal sword - the caster takes his chances like therest of us. The caster is polymorphed into a frog - the caster is a frog, but he's ZIRNT MAGUS (the frog).

This spell was researched by Zirnt Magus ( not a frog) in a fit of industrious paranoia.

Ritual of Attunement (Conjuration/Summoning)

Level: 9	Components: V, S, M
Range: Touch	Casting Time: 1 day
Duration: Permanent	Saving Throw: None
Area of Effect: 1 spellcaster

Explanation/Description: This spell attunes the mage as a focus for the local mana-flow. Its particular uses are to enable the continuous production of minor effects, and the building of major rituals.

Itprovides the recipient with a self-replenishing store of mana which he can use to cast spells. This works on a "mana points" system. The recipient must assign a number of spell slots to power this pool. Each spell slot assigned provides 8 mana points per Enchantment Cost Factor for a spell of that level. The assigned slots determine the size of the pool, which then regenerates (taking 24 hours to recharge from empty). Once the mana pool has been established, it cannot be dispelled, and slots can only be reassigned by use of the sixth level spell Ritual of Mana Adjustment. Alternatively, a mage may invest all his spellslots, in which case when he goes up a level he must add all his new spell slots to the pool. Note also that any mage who has fully converted his power to a pool gains his INT per level in 'bonus' points.

If a power pool enters an A. M. S its current store of mana is reduced to zero, but it regenerates normally thereafter. If the mana pool is caught in a Dispel Magic it loses 40 + 2/level dispelles points (cannot take store below zero). A mana pool cannot be used to produce spell effects of a base level higher than that of the highest level spell slot used to fuel it.

Spell effects cost a base 10 mana points per Enchantment Cost Factor for a spell of that level. This is adjusted as follows

Self-affecting spell -20%

range greater than 1" +10%

unwilling target +10%

continuous effect -10%

In addition a backfire roll must be made using the backfire system, and the spell will cost a point more or less for every 2 points above/below 20 on the backfire roll.

Effects of less than first level power can be produced and will have a base cost of less than 10 points. Note also that continuous effects can be established (same cost per hour as an hour per level version, with a backfire dice roll of 10).

Spell-effecting spells can be combined with any spell cast from the pool, with cumulative casting times and cost. In this case the spells go off at once and dispel/ are resisted as one spell (for M. G. I etc count as highest level). Also the cost of spells can be altered by increased/decreased casting times, area, duration etc at D. M.s discretion (this will not increase the "base level of the spell". Note that the production of spell effects of a total power level greater than ninth level can cause aging effects etc.

A mage cannot use mana from the pool if it is empty, however if a spell cast would result in the store going negative, it will do so. The mage will take four HP subdual damge per excess point, and the poool will only recharge at 10% of its normal rate until it reaches zero again.

This 12 hour long ritual can only be performed on a willing target spellcaster. The target spellcaster must be a Magic-user, Magic-user subclass or variant. If of a different subclass/variant from the caster a study period of between one and three months, involving both spellcasters. There will also be a DM determined increase in the backfire percentage (or straight failure chance), the caster should be aware of the approximate level of this penalty. Note that if the target is not the caster they can only take the " all slots" option.

This spell works as above on a world where free spell choice is generally allowed. On worlds where this is not the case the power pool operates at half effect. The material component is a mixture of crushed black and white opal worth 1000 GP per power point to be placed in the pool.

Explanation/Description: This spell imbues an item with a permanent mana-flow by opening a small portal through it to the positive and negative material planes. This results in the item having access to mana even in an Anti-magic Shell or other low mana area. It can even support the item on some worlds where normal D& D magic works badly or not at all ( DM's option). This flow can be assigned to support other enchantments on the item or spells cast on/by the item or its caster. Note that the CF refers to the number of CFs supported.

If the knowledge being transferred could automatically be learnt by the student, this spell speeds the process up by a factor of casters level. The spell can also be used to teach a spell he failed to learn. In this case the teacher makes his roll to learn (at + (level - 10)%). If this is successful the student gets to reattempt to learn the spell. If the teachers chance was over 100%, the student gains the extra as a bonus to his chance to learn. note that a given teacher can only attempt to teach a given student a failed spell once. In other cases where the student could not automatically learn the knowledge through spending the time, this spell provides a bonus determined by the D. M. The material component is, in the case of spell learning, 8 scrolls of the spell to be learnt, or in the case of general knowledge transfer, 8 scrolls of Read Magic per casting. These are used up.
