Description: Attack, or ATK enchantments can be placed on all weapons and on armors that have an ATK value. The maximum allowable is +5 to any one item. Please note that the limit of +5 includes the +1 that is inherent in mithril weapons. An attack bonus from this enchantment may only be used if the item enchanted is used to strike. ATK enchanted gauntlets for instance will not help a character swing a sword better, but would help them punch someone more effectively.
Mithril weapons cannot have their +1 ATK enchantment removed. It will always be one of the 3 allowable enchants on that item.

By casting this spell, an aura of blue, freezing air is created around the caster's hand, nearly snug against their skin. With this energy they can attempt to touch someone, sending a mind numbing cold rushing through the victim. Causing the body to shiver and shake and take on a glacial blue tint to the skin.
:MECHANICS: Damage is dealt per the normal Close Magical Attack combat rules, adding +1 to the ATK per slot used. If used upon a weapon and made permanent it may be used to provide an extra +1 damage per 5 slots enchanted. Please note that this is extra damage applied AFTER a hit, and is NOT extra ATK.
If the permanent effect is used upon a weapon to gain the extra elemental damage this is the only effect this enchantment has: to gain the ability to use the spell form of this enchantment another enchantment (non-permanent) must be taken.

Upon casting this spell, a barrier of magic is created around the Mage, though not with the intention of guarding against blows. Instead, the almost invisible sheen of that ward is activated only when a blow is struck, condensing around the offending blade, bludgeon or fist and sending a dangerous jolt of magical force back through it, often accompanied by a warning flash of brilliance.
:MECHANICS: While active, any successful close physical attack made against the caster will result in damage returned to the attacker. The amount of damage dealt is 1 point for every 3 slots invested, to a maximum of 5 damage back. The spell lasts for one round for every slot invested and costs 2 stamina each round active, on top of the normal stamina for the initial cast. This spell may be used with defensive spells magical and physical armor, or defense enchantments, but not with any other defensive spells or magical shields.

Upon activating the enchantment the melding item can magically disappear into the storage item, causing no changes to either item other than one is #&039;hiding#&039; within the other. Due to the nature of this enchantment the storage item must be larger than the melding item and it can not be used for instant clothing or costume changes, essentially making the storage item more akin to a backpack and melded items needing to be removed before they can be used. This is merely for aiding in carrying purposes, for concealment, such as a valuable mithril ring quite literally inside your dinner table, and can be quite useful for stage or parlour tricks. If the storage item is destroyed or severely damaged, the melded item will #&039;fall out#&039; and return to normal as if the enchantment had been de-activated normally. This enchantment can neither be activated nor dismissed in combat. While this enchantment is placed upon two items, taking up an enchantment slot upon each item, it still counts as a single enchantment in terms of pricing.

This Out of Battle Spell allows the caster to send a very simple message to a single recipient in any one language of the caster's choosing (that they can normally speak and understand (The spell 'Tongues' will not help)). The range of the spell is 1 mile for every two levels of the caster, rounded down (with the exception of level 1 casters being able to utilize a 1 mile radius). The intended receiver must be well known to the caster or the spell will simply fizzle and go nowhere. The spell requires one full minute per mile away from the intended target to be delivered, and can only transfer very short messages. The caster must actually speak the words of the message aloud at the time of casting, though keep in mind if you whisper this spell, so too will the recipient hear but a whisper. If they are gagged or otherwise cannot speak, the spell fails. The message is delivered audibly, so anyone within earshot may hear it. Once delivered, the intended receiver has 1 minute per level of the caster to 'answer' it, otherwise the spell dissipates unheard.

Cost: 50 Mhl
This spell lets the user change minor details about their person, eye color, hair color and length, skin color warts etc., but nothing besides that. They could appear to be a different person by changing facial shape etc. Clothing doesn't change - it stays the same. One couldn't dramatically change their shape (like changing from human to troll sized, or to dwarf size) but they could in theory appear as an elf by changing their facial features and changing the shape of their ears.
Defending method: none
Cost: 50 mhl

This spell, when cast, does nothing more than making 3 inch globes of torch-equal light that can be used to float around the room, darting and dancing as the caster sees fit. This spell is great for entertainer types, and is a good distraction for someone that might have to go over and find out what the lights are, while you get away without ever having to get into combat.

Defending method: none
Can be placed upon: All items
Cost: 50 Mhl
Casting this spell lets the caster (and only the caster) see magic items within their field of vision. This spell does not let the user see people able to use magic, but would allow them to see someone that had, for example, a magical armor spell around them. This spell will not allow the caster to see someone that has an illusion based spell as is, but might show the person with an illusion about them with a hazy light but not give them a true clue of what it is.
Defending method: none

MECHANICS: few simple words are whispered free, fingers glow as if covered in ice and placed upon nether lips of a woman to the nipples of her breasts causing a shattering of warmth and cold to imbue itself. The Caster reserves the right to either cause intense pleasure to such parts or to cause a twinge of pain with but a push rather then a light touch of fingertips. No stamina or life is lost and the spell lasts until the caster dispels it, or the scene is finished. OOC consent required for anything sexual.
Defending method: none
Cost: 50 Mhl
Description: This spell will aide in the caster being able to tell what a Magic item could be. A roll of a 1d10 will determine how close the caster is to knowing.

When activated the item can either (caster's choice) shoot sparks or sustain a small flame long enough to ignite items that are flammable. Useful for lighting one's pipe or some tinder for a fire. Keep in mind that the enchanted item can not use this enchantment to light itself, so for example no self-lighting pipes or candles. The sparks or flame this enchantment generates is equivalent to a flint and striking iron or a small match and thus can not instantly start large fires or cause damage to someone.

By casting this spell the caster must touch the victim they are trying to affect. If successful the victim falls into a restless sleep.
:MECHANICS: A normal, close magic attack roll is made, and if successful the difference between the failed resistance roll and the attack is how long the victim remains asleep. This counts as normal sleep, so any loud noise, physical and magical attack, or jarring motion to the victim will instantly awaken them.
Defending method: none

This spell lets the caster touch a target and engulf their mind in a haze of euphoria so that they are incapable of coherent action. The spell must overcome the target's close magical defense for it to function and if used out of combat, it will last ten minutes per level of the Caster, before the target recovers. Someone who has failed their resistance roll is under the effects of this spell, having no actions of their own until either the spell effects pass. Or the spell is canceled. "I hasten to assure the reader that the rumors of the addictive properties of this spell if used repeatedly on a person have been vastly overstated..."
(Special OOC Note - The effect of the Spell on the victim is immediately broken if they are subject to any form of attack - magical or physical.)

Description: By means of this spell, the caster is able to surround his or her body, with heated arcane energy. This allows the caster to feel warm even in cold areas with lack of suitable clothing. This does not, however, keep a person dry in a rainstorm or snowstorm, though it would definitely prevent frost-bite or hypothermia. The spell lasts for 15 minutes per level of the caster. However if the caster is a Fire Mage, then the duration is automatically doubled making it 30 minutes per level of the Fire mage, and the Fire Mage can affect up to one more target. The spell requires 3 STA to activate.

With the casting of this Out of Battle spell the caster rolls a 1d100 plus their level, and that is the number of minutes that they can stay in the air before the spell loses effect. This spell makes it so the caster can launch into the air, carrying no more then their normal weight, unable to support the weight of passengers. No matter who uses this spell, the amount of concentration required to remain airborne is taxing, and if the caster is forced or partakes in combat, they will find themselves drained of their STAMINA very quickly. Every full round a person using Fly is in combat, they lose 10 STA in addition to any offensive or defensive maneuvers they make, and no 'Evasion' roll is allowed to regain their STA while the spell is in use. Those that use the Fly spell are not nearly as nimble as creatures or beings with natural Flight.

Cost of stat enchants: 200 Mhl per point of STR, INT, AGI, RES / 100 Mhl per point to Stamina
Cost of permanent stat enchants: 800 Mhl per point of STR, INT, AGI, RES/ 400 Mhl per point to Stamina
Stat enchants add to a characters dice pool for a given stat. These can be made permanent. If not made permanent, it will take one full turn to activate per stat bonus per item and once activated the bonus will last the duration of the combat scene. There is a cap of 15 to the bonus that Stat enchants can give any single Stat. Only one item from a particular group, (ex. tattoos/ Jewelry) can count for a given stat.
Stat enchantments are further limited to items that already hold a natural bonus to a stat; ex. A circlet could be enchanted with an extra +2 to Int since is already carries a natural bonus of +3 to Int. It could not be enchanted beyond a further +2 to int since that would bring the Int bonus of that item above +5.
Jewelry may be enchanted with Int and Stam.
Stat enchantments on clothing works as listed below:
- Cloaks: Resistance only
- Boots: Agility only
- Gloves (and gauntlets): Agility and Strength
