In the immortal words of many barbarian he-roes, What sorcery is this? The standard magicsystem in Warrior, Rogue & Mage is fun, quick,

and simple to use but its also a very bare bonessystem that lacks many spells that are typicalof fantasy adventure and sword and sorceryfiction.

Some of the basic spells can seem too weak ortoo strong for their Circle and some archetypalpowers of wizards in fiction are missing. Whilethe limited selection of spells in the core War-rior, Rogue & Mage rulebook serve as a goodbasis for adventure, some groups of playersmay want the versatility offered by a broaderrange of powers. Also, some groups may preferto use a more free form magic system with nospell lists at all.

With these issues in mind, this supplementaims to fill in some of the gaps in the basic spelllist and offer a more complete list of powers aswell as offer options for using magic in otherways (including a free form system). The spell

lists in this book can replace the list in the corerulebook or be added on top of it. With that

said, enjoy unleashing the power offered byarcane knowledge against those barbarians atthe gates of your tower. What sorcery is this!

indeed.

Chapter One: General Guidelines for Mag-ic explains the benchmarks used for creat-ing the spells in this book and some advicefor how to use them to make new spells.

Chapter Two: Variant Magical Systems of-fers some ideas for running campaignswith different levels of magic in the world.

Chapter Three: Spells offers a large selectionof generic spells that can be quickly modifiedto make specific spells for your campaigns.

Chapter Four: Spellbooks serves asan example of how the plain spellsin Chapter Three can be modified.

Chapter Five: Talents offers new talents thataffect the way characters interact with magic.

The following table shows the basic guidelines used to design the spells in this book and should

serve as a helpful guide to designing new spells for your own campaigns.

Circle Mana DL Damage Defense Attribute/SkillModifiers

Summoning

First 1 5 1D6 (+1) +2 Defense Temporary skillbonus

Bird, mouse

Second 2 7 2D6 (+2) +4 HP,+4Def

Long-term skill ortemporary attributebonus

Wolf, horse

Third 4 9 3D6 (+3) +1 Fate(negate hits),+6Def

Big long-term skillbonus or long-termattribute bonus

Bear, dire wolf

Fourth 8 13 4D6 (+4) Negatedamage

Major transforma-tion, Long-termchange to multiplestats, negate enemybonus (e.g. armorpiercing)

Drakes, majorelementals

In the table above, Damage refers to the typical

amount of damage caused or healed by spellsof that Circle at extremely close range (with-in arms reach of the caster); the added bonusfor enhancements is equal to the spells Circle.Defense gives examples of a typical level ofdefensive protection offered by a spell of thatCircle. Attribute/Skill Modifiers gives examplesof typical bonus ranges to attribute or skill rollsgranted by spells of that Circle. An example ofa small bonus would be +1 or +2 (equivalent to

a skill) or granting a character an ExceptionalAttribute (rolling an extra die for attribute rollsand taking the best result). An example of a bigbonus would be +4 to +6 to a skill roll or al-lowing the substitution of another (presumablymore advantageous) attribute; for example, the

Quickness of the Mind spell that allows the

target to use the Mage attribute for rolls insteadof Rogue. A short-term bonus is usually for oneaction and a long-term bonus lasts for an entireencounter.

Many attack or healing spells have other ad-vantages such as affecting targets at range, af-fecting multiple targets, affecting an area, add-ing its damage to another attack, or having alingering effect. In these cases, the raw damage

is usually reduced a step or two to compensate.For example: Frostburn, Ice Dagger, and Vam-piric Touch are First Circle attack spells. Frost-burn does 1D6 damage when the caster touchesan enemy; Ice Dagger only does 1d6-2 dam-age but it works as a ranged attack that keeps


5/39

the caster out of his foes reach; and VampiricTouch does only 1D6/2 damage to a touchedenemy but it also heals the caster by the sameamount.

If a Defense effect only works against a lim-ited range of attacks, then it may offer the levelof defense benefit usually offered by a highercircle. For example, Deflection is a First Circlespell that offers protection equivalent to a Sec-ond Circle spell but it is limited to only workingagainst ranged attacks.

Summoning spells are permanent until thesummoned object or creature has its hit pointsreduced to zero or the summoner dispels it atwhich point it vanishes. A spell that conjuressomething temporarily would be built as an-other kind of spell. For example, a spell thatconjures a glowing sword that vanishes afterthe combat encounter would be an attack spell

of an appropriate Circle for its damage andother advantages (it sets things on fire, dripswith venom, etc.) and limitations (it requiresa Swords skill check to use, etc.). For summon-ing effects, the general rule of thumb is that a

summoned creature may not have more totalattribute points than the spells Circle multipliedby 5 and no attribute may be higher than theCircle multiplied by 3. Casters control the crea-tures they summon although the control is lim-ited to commands the creatures can understand(you can empathically order a bear to attackyour enemies or bash down a door, but youcant ask him to go and count how many menare standing down by the river because bearsdont understand arithmetic). Casters can con-trol a number of Circles worth of summonedcreatures equal to their Mage attribute at onetime. For example, a caster with a Mage attri-bute of 4 could control a pair of wolves (SecondCircle) or an Earth Elemental (Fourth Circle) but


6/39

would need to dismiss them in order to sum-mon anything else. Items and equipment canalso be summoned, but rarer and more uniqueitems are more difficult to summon (one serv-ing of rations worth one silver piece is easier to

summon than a silver coin).

When designing spells, keep the Circles inmind. A spell of a given Circle is roughlyequivalent to a spell of the Circle below withtwo enhancements. For spells that could havea broad range of power from First to Fourth,such as a spell that offers a bonus to a roll forexample, the Circle you choose for the spell willdetermine the minimum level at which it can becast. If you choose to assign a spell to the FirstCircle, it will be possible for any mage to cast itat a weak level or boost it to a higher level byspending more mana. If you assign that samespell to the Fourth Circle, there is no way tocast that spell weakly without learning a differ-ent version of the spell. Also keep in mind thatenhancing First Circle spells is very mana inef-ficient when compared to the other Circles thatcost an even number of mana points: enhancedFirst Circle spells lose more mana due to round-

ing. If you want to make a low powered spellthat you intend to be enhanced to higher powerlevels, you should make it Second Circle un-less you want that extra versatility to come ata higher cost (or you are playing with the lowmagic Warrior, Rogue & Scholar variant rulesand want it to be available to basic spellcasterswithout the Advanced Spellcaster talent).

This book contains a variety of spells for allCircles. By selectively eliminating some of

them, you can add definition and character tothe magic of your world. Perhaps in your cam-paign, there is a Conclave of Ice Wizards whodo nothing halfway so all ice spells are potentThird or Fourth Circle spells while the Union

of Fire Mages are interested in all flames fromsparks to raging infernos so there are fire spellsof all Circles. Maybe your world has a higherlevel of technology and excellent armor is cheapand plentiful, but healing is very limited so you

might choose to say that Second and Third Cir-cle healing spells may only be cast as rituals andthere are no Fourth Circle healing spells avail-able. If you want to run a sword and sorcerycampaign where magic is a dark force with nopeaceful applications, you can eliminate every-thing but the attack spells. If you want to haveattack spells that are rare and powerful, thenyou could say that there are no attack spells be-low Fourth Circle. Its up to you. Its your worldso make the magic your own.

This is the default system of Warrior, Rogue &Mage. Any character with a Mage attributeof 1 or higher has access to spells. Any spellsthat are found or bought can be transcribed ina characters personal spell book for use. In thisvariant, magic is common and is a skill like anyother. Being really good at magic requires skillsand talents but anyone who is even moderatelyclever can learn to do it at a basic level without

intensive training. The only requirement is themoney to buy a spellbook and spells to tran-scribe into it.

If you want to run a campaign where magic israrer and requires more dedication than basicliteracy, you can use the Warrior, Rogue & Schol-ar system. The Mage attribute is replaced bythe Scholar attribute. All references to the Mage

attribute in the core rules will refer to the Schol-ar attribute. This is a purely cosmetic changethat allows characters with no magical abilitiesto still be clever and quick-witted and mentallysharp. If you dont mind non-spellcasting char-acters having a Mage attribute, you are free tocontinue using Mage in this variant for easierreference. In order to cast spells in this variant,a character needs to buy a talent called Spell-caster which gives access to First Circle spells.

Spell casting works as usual, although newcharacters are limited to First Circle spells whenthey begin their careers. All other talents thataffect your magic abilities (like Blood Mage)need Spellcaster as a prerequisite now. Whenthe character is granted an advancement by the

GM, he can acquire the Advanced Spellcaster

talent which grants him access to the remainingspell circles.

If you like the low level of magic in Warrior,Rogue & Scholar but you want to slow the acqui-sition of magical power even further, you canuse this variant of WR&S that has a step-by-step

spellcasting advancement. Like Warrior, Rogue& Scholar above, characters must buy talents inorder to have access to spells, but in this vari-ant the Spellcaster and Advanced Spellcastertalents are replaced by the four talents below,which give access to the four spell Circles. Thetalents must be taken in order. If you wish toslow the acquisition of these talents to prevent aspellcaster from skipping through the Circles tooquickly, you can add more prerequisites to them.A good example would be requiring spellcast-

ers to master more than one spell of one Circlebefore taking the talent to access the next Circle(i.e. a character must have two First Circle spellsbefore accessing the Second Circle, three Sec-ond Circle spells before accessing Third Circlespells, and so on). If you wish to tie the ad-vancement of spellcasters more directly to theirplace and actions in your campaign world (soa character is not just a wizard but a n initi-ate of the Order of the Crimson Tower or a n

acolyte of the Brotherhood of the Silver Sun ),you can add social or other specific prerequisitesto these talents. To add unique character andflavor to spellcaster characters and give themadditional background ties to the campaignsetting, you could offer a different progression


8/39

of spellcaster talents from each religious order,academic conclave, or crotchety old hermit. Ofcourse, you can just use the four talents with noprerequisites other than taking them in order,but examples of social prerequisites are included

in the table on the next page for three differentsources of magical training.

If you want to play a campaign with no spell-casting player characters, you can use the War-rior, Rogue & Scholar variant and disallow theSpellcaster talent. Such a setting could be com-

pletely devoid of magic and all the monsterswould just be unusual animals. Or you coulduse this option to play a Howardian swordand sorcery setting where all magic is inher-ently tainted and only used by corrupt villains(who are usually weak and have low Warriorattributes). This variant could also be used for asetting where the only magic takes the form ofenchanted weapons and other items that can befound or purchased, but not created by playercharacters.

In the default Warrior, Rogue & Mage game,casting spells is something that anyone can do.In this variant, it is something that everyonedoes. This variant is useful for settings thathave an intensely animistic world view whereeverything in the physical world is the result

of the work of spirits rather than natural laws.In a setting like this, a warrior does not usea sword as a tool. His sword is a steel com-panion with its own soul and desires; warriorand blade work together as partners who fight

against common enemies. If your armor fails toprotect you, it is not because your enemy foundits weak point: it could be because you offendedyour armors spirit and it betrayed you, or per-haps the spirit of your enemys spear outsmarted

your armors spirit, or perhaps your armors spiritwas just undernourished because you haventgiven it enough prayers and offerings.

This variant can also be used for more mythicsettings where heroes arent just highly skilled,but are in fact partially divine and the worldalters according to their desires. Such a herodoesnt just slay a drake with his bow becausehe is so accurate that he can put an arrow rightthrough the drakes heart by hitting the one spotwhere a scale is missing from its hide. No, sucha hero slays a drake with a perfect arrow shotbecause the flight of the arrow is guided by allthe heros honor, duty, and love for the peoplehe is defending and the point of the arrow issharpened by the white-hot focus of all the herosrage aimed at the threat to his village and thatrage splits the drakes scaly armor like dry leavesto open a channel for the arrow to reach thebeasts heart.

In a WWRR&SS game, every character beginswith a free First Circle spell of their choice.Characters with a Warrior attribute of 5 ormore can choose to use Mana Points instead ofHit Points when they take damage. Characterswith a Rogue attribute of 5 or more may spend anumber of mana points up to their Rogue valueto add an equal amount to their Defense scorefor one round. Characters with a Mage scoreof 5 or more may cast spells with one level of

enhancement at no extra Mana cost (althoughthe DL increases normally). Any character mayspend Mana Points to gain a bonus to an attri-bute or skill roll: 1 MP for each +1 bonus with amaximum bonus on one roll equal to the level of


9/39


10/39

the relevant attribute. For example, a characterwith Warrior 4 could spend up to 4 MP for a+4 bonus to any Warrior roll. Damage for spellsor weapons (including unarmed attacks) canalso be boosted in this way and the limit is the

attribute used to make the attack. Characterswith a Mage score of 0 in this variant can stilluse magic if they have the Blood Mage talentto spend HP for it.

Some sorcerers in classic fantasy literature (oreven comic books) seem to have an almostinexhaustible supply of very specific spells to

fit nearly any situation. If you prefer to usethis style of magic in your game, then obvi-ously you dont want to memorize thousandsof slightly different spells with long difficult topronounce names like Crimson Entanglementof Quatzlciterak! This free-form magic vari-ant can be applied to any of the magic levelsdiscussed above, but it works best with oneof the variants that requires an investment onthe part of the spell caster, like Warrior, Rogue

& Scholar or Warrior, Rogue, & Sorcerers Ap-prentice. In this system, any spellcaster can castany spell they want at any time by inventingit on the spot. The player describes the effectand Circle of the spell and the GM will adjust

the DL if enhancements are necessary to get thedesired effect. Note that this system is based onresults and not on methods: breaking down adoor by making the caster temporarily strongenough to kick it in is the same Circle and DLas summoning a chaos spirit that is born, wailsa terrifying birth cry that splinters the door intokindling, then dies and fades away to nothing-ness. The DL can also be adjusted downwardby adding inconvenient limitations to the spell.For example, I summon a gremlin from thefairy realm to mangle this trap mechanism so itcant be activated and hurt us. I call the gremlinnamed Looghocker. He does good work but hesreally greedy so I have to give him some of myjewelery or he wont do it. Note that if its notinconvenient, then it doesnt count (you cantsay something like this spell can only be caston one particular day of the year so the DL ismuch lower... luckily, that day is today!)

The spells in this chapter represent very basicand flavorless magical effects. In the campaignworld, the same spell might be known bymany different names and have many differ-ent appearances despite the fact that they aremechanically the same. For example, PainfulTouch is a spell that allows the caster to touch atarget and do 1d6 damage. In the game world,that spell might be known as Frostburn (thecasters hand is rimed with frost and his touchchills his target with frostbite) or Embergrasp

(the casters hand blackens and cracks like burn-ing wood and the scorching heat that comesfrom within the glowing cracks burns anyonehe touches). Whether these differences are pure-ly cosmetic or have effects in game (fire effectscan ignite combustibles but creatures of livingfire are immune to fire damage, for example)will be decided by the GM. For examples ofhow to turn these generic spells into more spe-cific and flavorful versions, see Chapter Four:Spellbooks. The spells are listed here with some

alternate names in parentheses to help inspirenew variations.

aTTack spellspaINFulTouch (Frostburn, Embergrasp, Shock-touch, Grip of Corrosion, Kiss of Venom)

uTIlITyspells

magIclIghT (Torch of Pantel, Coldfire, Eyes ofthe Moon)Caster creates a magic light in the palm of thecasters hand or on the tip of a staff or otherweapon held by the caster that illuminates a10-yard radius, much like a torch.

bow bolt, a plain cloth tunic, a simple dagger, arock, etc. Each level of enhancement raises thelength, weight, or value by +1 (yard/kilogram/silver piece). (Optional: The caster may be re-quired to have talent as a Craftsman and makea skill check to increase the silver piece value ofthe created item. Making a fancy dagger withengraved details would require the knowledgeof a blacksmith, making a shirt with interestingembroidery would require the knowledge of atailor, etc.)

mINor dIVINaTIoN (Gravespeak, Interrogatethe Stones, Echoes of the Past)The caster may use this spell to ask a questionabout the present or the recent past in relation

to an object or place the caster touches. For ex-ample, if the caster sees that a room has beenrecently disturbed, the spell could be used to askWho was in this room before I came here? orWho pushed over that bookshelf? Some casters

directly interrogate the inanimate objects theyare curious about, such as asking a smashed ta-ble Who broke your legs? or asking a bloodyknife Who did you hurt? Some variations ofthis spell are used to get information from thedead by questioning their corpses about thingsthey knew or saw in life. Each casting of thisspell allows the asking and answering of onemain information question (who, what, where,when, why, how...) and a few clarifying follow-up questions that can be answered yes or noor not clear. Each level of enhancement allowsquestions about the more distant past but in-formation becomes increasingly vague. Whenusing this spell to question a sentient spirit (suchas a dead person), the object of the spell mayresist answering by making an opposed Mageroll against the caster.

eNhaNced skIll(Blessing, Inspiration, SharpenTool, Analyze Foe, Blur, Deepshadows)

Whether its through temporarily conjuring theperfect tool for the job or mystically grantinginsight into the task at hand, this spell allowsthe touched target to make one skill check orattack roll with a +2 bonus. Each level of en-hancement raises the bonus by +1.

Jump (Blink Teleport, Leap, Burrow, Shadow-step)This spell allows the caster or a touched targetto instantly move to another location within

14/39

seNTryward (Faithful Watchdog, Boundary)The caster marks a small area (less than 10 yardsin its longest dimension) such as a small room,a doorway, or a circle on the ground. The casterwill be instantly aware if anyone passes the

marked boundary unless they make an opposedRogue check against the casters Mage attributeto sneak through. The duration of the spell is12 hours. Each level of enhancement can add 6hours to the duration or add +1 to the DL of thecheck to successfully pass the warded boundary.

skIm (Lightfoot, Featherfloat, Hover)This spell allows the caster to run across anysurface including water and vertical walls aslong as they dont stop running; the caster willfall after stopping on a surface that cant nor-mally support them. The spell lasts one roundbut can be sustained for one mana per addi-tional round.

TeNT (Endure Elements, Insect Ward)This spell protects the caster from the effects ofnormal weather for 6 hours: the casters clothingrepels rain, dust, and mud and remains at acomfortable temperature. The caster can even

lie down on muddy ground without gettingwet or dirty and small insects and vermin wontapproach within one yard. The spell must becast with one level of enhancement to endureextremes of heat or cold (such as in a swelteringsummer heatwave or desert or freezing cold inthe depths of winter).

dIsguIse (1000 Faces, Flesh-shaping, CostumeChange)The caster can alter their appearance in simple

ways such as changing skin tone, facial fea-tures, and hair color. Enhancements can beused to make more substantial changes suchas increasing or decreasing apparent weightor height up to 10% or changing the color and

style of clothing and equipment. Copying aspecific individuals appearance also requires aMage check (in addition to the enhancementsneeded to make appropriate changes) with aDL determined by the GM based on how fa-

miliar the caster is with the subject to be copied.

empaThy (Read the Heart, Sense Emotions)The caster becomes more aware of the innerfeelings of others. While the caster can not readthe thoughts of others, their true emotions andattitude are more apparent. This gives the castera +2 bonus on all rolls in social situations likenegotiations or interrogations or interpretingthe gestures of someone from an unfamiliar cul-ture without a common language. With an en-hancement, the caster may also transmit theirown feelings to others; the caster cant lie in thisstate but it can be useful for making someonewho doesnt speak your language understandwhen you try to say things like I dont wantany trouble or Get out of here or Ill kill you.This spell lasts about 30 minutes but it can besustained for 1 mana point for each additional10 minutes.

23/39

ceived by the character as a vision of the future.Although the player has chosen these condi-tions (subject to approval from the GM, whoshould ensure the circumstances are not toovague or too impossibly specific), the character

has not. From the point of view of the char-acters in the game world, these circumstanceswere always in place and only now were theyrevealed. The circumstances determined by thisspell provide a permanent +4 bonus to actionsthat will lead to the foreseen event or a -4 pen-alty to actions that would prevent the foreseenevent. For example, a character might want todetermine the circumstances under which thefoul icedrake Bangverm will be defeated. Theplayer of the character who casts this spell de-cides that Bangverm will die in a circle of spearsand fire. From that point on, all attacks againstBangverm while it is surrounded by spears andfire will get a +4 bonus and Bangverm willhave a -4 penalty on its actions to avoid beingkilled. It is up to the GM to decide if and whenthe conditions have been fulfilled (Do the spearsneed to be literal spears or can the circle ofspears and fire be a circle of thin stone obeliskswith ritual bonfires? If Bangverm is maimed but

lives and the common people start calling himThe One-eyed Wyrm, does that count as thedeath of Bangverm?)

opeN mooNgaTe (Leyline Walker, Sail the

Dragon Rivers)The caster can open moongates at special places(like stone circles) that allow instant travel overlong distances between them. Moongates startto close slowly after 2 minutes.

For one level of enhancement, thecaster may choose a destination that lies on aline between the current location and anotherknown opening point. If attempting to stop onthe line, the actual destination point will be3d6 x10 miles from the chosen destination. Eachadditional enhancement will divide that devia-tion in half.

The Trath Knights are an order of warrior mys-tics who combine magic and might at arms tooppose oppression and tyranny and promotepeace in the Imperium. Though the Imperiumhas fallen and their numbers have dwindled,the Trath Knights are still dedicated to protect-

ing the weak and ensuring peace. The charac-teristic hum of their rune swords often serves asthe final warning that wrongdoers hear whenthey refuse to cease their evil ways and surren-der themselves to justice. The Trath Knights canbe terribly fierce opponents but their force isalways tempered by mercy: their code demandsthat they check rather than hurt, hurt beforewounding, wound before maiming, and maimbefore killing. They respect all life and all crea-tures that are willing to live in peace becausethey believe that all living things are connectedby and manifestations of the flow ofmagical energy through the world. During thefinal days of the Imperium, the Patriarch of theImperial Faith declared the Trath to be heretical


25/39

because they believed that souls were nothingmore than temporary condensations of this en-ergy flow rather than the orthodox interpreta-tion that says all souls are unique and distinctentities. Today, this is rarely an issue because

Trath are rarely encountered and in the eyes ofthe common people they are legendary heroesthat are often confused with Paladins of thechurch. The spells used by the Trath Knights arenot often recorded in one spellbook; they areusually taught directly to a knight by a mentoror recorded individually in enchanted tabletsthat magically provide oral instruction in thevoices of the ancient masters who made them.

Captain Crane is a legendary figure amonggunmages of the old Imperium. Some say henever really existed and he is just a symbolicfolkloric figure whose name was attached to thedeeds of many, very different people. Regardlessof the truth of the matter, copies of Cranes hand-

book are highly prized by those who aspire tobe gunmages. The original handbook is said tohave been a training manual for Imperial artil-lerists with many notations and addenda writ-ten in the margins by Captain Orcell Crane.A complete copy is very rare but fragmentscomposed of a single chapter (or in some cases,a few loose pages) can be found in most cit-ies. The original text of the handbook is usefulfor learning the theoretical and practical appli-cations of firearms (from pistols to great can-non), the proper compositions of the powdersused in them, the casting of shot, and geometryfor finding range and elevation. The notes inthe margins (that were supposedly written byCaptain Crane himself in his own copy of the

handbook) contain information that can be usedto learn the Gunmage talent as well as spells.

The red mouNTaIN recordThis set of rectangular ceramic tablets was dis-covered in a cave in a Red Mountain valley.They were stored in an iron-bound wooden

crate that had rotten and split apart. The tabletsthemselves remained entirely intact. The edgesof the tablets have odd ridges and crenelationsthat allow them to fit together in differentcombinations like puzzle pieces. Some of thesetablets fit together side by side but some cometogether at an angle to create a corner or com-pletely enclosed box. These combinations haverevealed new spells in addition to those record-ed on a single tablet. Thus far, the researchersat the Dark Spire (where the original tablets

are kept for study) have determined that FirstCircle spells are recorded on individual tablets;Second Circle spells are revealed by connectingtwo or more tablets in a plane (either side byside or top to bottom); Third Circle spells arerevealed around the inside or outside cornerswhere three tablets are connected. The fewFourth Circle spells that have been decipheredwere found spiraling around the edges of boxesformed by four or more tablets arranged like thewalls of a room. No one is quite sure who cre-ated the tablets, but one of the iron bands thatheld the crate together bears the crest of Agric,a master wizard who lived approximately 300years ago in the vicinity of Bekel.
