Veil of Ashes Spells Flashcards
Spell Verbals
ELEMENTAL BOLT
Ethereal
1st - 8th
I summon an elemental bolt of <fire, ice, or lightning> x(damage)(element).
The caster throws an elemental bolt at the target, which does 5 points of elemental damage multiplied by the level of the spell used. This spell may be memorized at spell levels 1-8.
REPAIR ARMOR
Ethereal
1st - 5th
With Ethereal force I Repair your Armor. (followed by stating X repair.)
Caster repairs the physical armor of a target (or body of a construct) for 4 points per level of the spell used. This spell may be used at spell levels 1-5.
DISARM
Ethereal
1st
With Ethereal force I disarm your item.
Any item that is being held must be dropped and cannot be picked up again by the spell target for 5 seconds. The caster must specify the item to be dropped. The named item must be specific enough for the target to understand what the target of the spell is, without further clarification. If the target is holding multiple of the item that is specified, the target chooses which one to drop.
As an example, if the caster states “With Ethereal force I disarm your sword” and the target is holding a sword in each hand then the target chooses which one to drop. If the spell caster wishes to be more specific, they could say “With Ethereal force I disarm your “Right Sword” and the target would have to drop the sword in their right hand.
ENDOW STRENGTH
Ethereal
1st
With Ethereal force I endow you with strength
The target’s next action that requires strength will use this spell. If the target uses their
weapon it will add +2 damage for three attacks. The spell will also be used if the target
attempts an action that would require great strength. Examples would be moving at full
speed while carrying an immobilized or willing character for 10 seconds (up to 25 feet),
throwing an immobilized or willing character up to 10 feet, but the character must end up
in a safe location that the player is physically able to get to. This skill can also be used to
attempt to move a heavy object but is subject to the ruling of the Marshal on hand.
SHIELD
Ethereal
1st
With Ethereal force I shield you from harm.
This spell when cast on a target grants 10 extra armor points. This armor will take
damage before the character’s physical armor points are affected. The Shield spell will
not exceed your max armor points.
GREATER ENDOW STRENGTH
Ethereal
2nd
With Ethereal force I endow you with great strength.
The target may use this spell when they wish to, and not only on their next action, unlike
the Endow Strength spell. If the spell is used in combat, it will add +2 damage to all
their attacks for 60 seconds. This spell may also be activated for a feat of great
strength. Examples would be moving at full speed while carrying an immobilized or
willing character for 10 seconds (up to 25 feet), throwing an immobilized or willing
character up to 10 feet, but the character must end up in a safe location that the player is
physically able to get to. This skill can also be used to attempt to move a heavy object but
is subject to the ruling of the Marshal on hand.
LIGHT
Ethereal
1st
With Ethereal force I light my way.
This spell creates a faint glow that emits from an object. The light produced is of low
intensity and will only create a soft glow around the object. The spell must be represented
by a true light source, remembering that it should not be brighter than a standard
glowstick and should not focus light into a single point, as a flashlight would. Any
standard glowstick is an acceptable phys-rep for the light spell.
DETECT MAGIC
Ethereal
2nd
With Ethereal force I detect magic.
This spell can be cast on any item or person to see if the object has magical properties.
This will only be known to the caster and is not evident to others that are in the area. This
spell will not show what kinds of magic are on the item or person, only if there are magical
effects present. Casting this on a person would not tell you if they are carrying magical
items, like a sword or a ring, because the magic is only present on those items explicitly.
REPULSE
Ethereal
2nd
With Ethereal force I repulse this being.
This spell only works on living targets. The target shall not come any closer than 10 feet
to the caster. If the target is closer than 10 feet when the spell is cast, they must halt any
advances towards the caster, but may still move away. The caster must hold their hand
up with their palm facing the target. Any action that causes the caster to drop their hand
will break this spell.
LESSER DISPEL MAGIC
Ethereal
3rd
With Ethereal force I dispel lesser magic.
This spell will remove the effects of any spell that is level 3 or lower on the target.
SHATTER
Ethereal
3rd
With Ethereal force I shatter your item.
This spell may be used to either destroy an item or harm creatures that may be shattered,
like skeletal undead. The item can be no larger than something that can be held in one’s
hands - swords, shields, brooms…etc. If used on a creature, you would say “shatter your
body” in the verbal. If the creature is affected by shatter, they will typically take 25 body
damage.
The Shatter spell will not have any effect on a weapon that is being empowered by a
weapon rod. i.e. if you have a Weapon Rod active on you that contains any magical
benefits, that weapon cannot be shattered. In this scenario, you will say “No Effect” when
hit with the Shatter spell. If the spell targets a weapon or a shield that is not being
empowered by a weapon rod, you take the effect of the Shatter.
TRAP
Ethereal

must keep one foot planted firmly to the ground.

REFLECT MAGIC
Ethereal
6th
With Ethereal force I grant you a reflect magic
The target of this spell receives a spell shield that will reflect the next spell that hits them,
that is 6th level or below, back at the caster. The player must say “reflect” when hit by the
spell to announce to the caster that the spell has been reflected back to them. Spell
protections are not intelligent and will protect the target whether the spell was harmful or
beneficial.
For the Elemental Bolt and Heal Wounds/Cause Wounds spells, reflect will work on any
spells that do up to thirty (30) points of healing or damage. Any damage or healing above
that will bypass the Reflect Magics protections and will take effect.
WEB
Ethereal
6th
I confine you in a magical web.
This spell will confine the target in a magical web that covers their body from neck to the
ground making them immovable. When webbed, you must stand still with your hands at
your sides. The target may still speak and look around but may not take any further
action. These bindings are magical and may not be cut away by physical means, only a
dispel magic or breaking line of sight will free a person from a web. Once the caster is
dead or unconscious, the web is broken.

Ethereal
7th
With Ethereal force I grant you a Spirit Shield.
This spell will protect the character from Death, Doom, Life, Critical Slay, Fatal Blow,
and Waylay. If the character is hit by a Death, Doom, or Life spell they are immediately
put at 1 body, and all remaining spell protections and enchantments are removed. If
struck with a Critical Slay or a Fatal Blow, the player is left at 1 body. Spirit Shield will
completely protect the character from a waylay, but the Spirit Shield is expended.
When struck with a spell or ability that this spell would protect your character from, you
must state “Spirit Shield” to denote you were protected, which is a visible effect.

killing blow.
WIZARD’S LOCK
Ethereal
7th
I imbue a wizard’s lock to this item and grant you the key.
The Wizard Lock spell will create a magical barrier around a single object such as a
chest, the outside walls of a building, or a single room within a building. A lock and key
must be physically represented by two objects that are designed to fit together, such as a
piece of wood with one side cut out so that the two pieces will fit back together. While the
key is placed in the “lock”, the wizard lock is lowered. Removing the “key” from the lock
will raise the Wizard Lock, securing the object it was cast on. This effect is a translucent
magical effect and may be seen by anyone. The effect on buildings is not distinguishable
from a Ward spell and works the same way as a ward.

immobilized and may not move or speak but can still see. The target is not rooted to the
ground and can be moved by anyone unless they are rooted to the ground by other
means. While under the effect of an Ethereal Prison, the target is not affected by physical
or magical damage. The caster can release the target from an Ethereal Prison on a three-
count (releasing one.. two… three). The Caster may also choose to deliver a Killing Blow
to the target following the standard killing blow rules. Additionally, a caster may also cast
an Ethereal Prison on themselves and may also release it on a three count.
SPELL SHIELD
Ethereal
8th
With Ethereal force I grant you a Spell Shield
The target will be protected from the next spell that is 8th level or lower that hits them.
The target must say “Flash” to denote that they were protected from the spell. 1st and

Spell protections are not intelligent and will protect the target whether the spell was
harmful or beneficial.
TEMPEST BLADE
Ethereal
8th
With an Ethereal Tempest, I enchant your weapon with fire, ice, or lightning.
The target of this spell can choose when to activate the effect, but only if the target has

may call +4 elemental damage for five (5) minutes, at which time the spell is consumed.
CIRCLE
Ethereal
9th
I inscribe a circle of defense to safeguard me from harm.
This spell will create a magical sphere around the caster that will prevent anyone or
anything from entering or leaving the circle. The circle must be inscribed on the ground
around them before the spell may be cast and can be no more than a 6-foot radius. The
circle may be raised or lowered at any time by the caster announcing “Circle up” or “Circle
Down”. The caster must hold a weapon or their hand in the air to show that the circle is
up, and must lower their weapon or hand when the circle is down. If the caster leaves the
area that they cast the circle on or is subdued, the circle is expired.

the spell. In addition, a target that is struck with a Planer Shackle may not phase, teleport,
rift, or step through any portals.
WARD
Ethereal
9th
With Ethereal force I forge a lock and key to ward entry
This spell will allow the caster to ward a single room. A shield will surround the room barring anyone or anything from entering or leaving. This effect is a translucent magical effect and may be seen by anyone. The effect is not visibly distinguishable from a Wizard’s lock spell. The lock and key must be represented by a unique item that is two pieces designed to fit together, which must be approved by staff. While the key is placed in the lock, the ward is lowered but is raised as soon as it is removed. However, if someone is standing on the ward then it will not be raised.
SHADOW FORM
Primal
6th
I call upon the darkness of night to shroud my form in shadow.
This is a self-cast spell only. After casting, the casters’ physical form becomes a discorporeal shadow and is immune to all physical and most magical damage and effects from battle magic. An Ethereal Imprison will trap a person that is in Shadowform, but they will still be immune to effects as stated above. If not forcibly removed from Shadowform through dispelling magic, it takes a 3-count to reform into a solid body by stating “Returning 1, Returning 2, Returning 3”. Until the person is fully reformed they will continue to be immune,
as stated above. While in Shadowform, the player must have their arms crossed over their chest. You may walk, but not run, and may hear but not speak. You may not affect the physical world in any way. The character is recognizable to anyone who knows them while in
Shadowform. All active spell protections are still in effect while a character is in Shadowform.
