MAGICAL ITEMS

[This is not a comprehensive list of magical items in the game, but will be updated over time - let me know if you need anything identified added]

POTIONS
------------
Potions will affect any creature that imbibes them.  If no one has a detect magic spell, then a tiny sip is possible to get some idea of effect, though if poison, creature must make saving throw.  Also, potions can sometimes be "halved" @ DM's discretion.  Generally, the effects of potions will last 7-12 turns (1d6+6).

SPELLS
----------
If a Spell is to be cast during combat, character needs to alert DM before Initiative rolls are made.

Once a specific spell is cast, it is lost to the caster, however it can be regained once the caster is well-rested (one night's sleep) + about an hour of uninterrupted "game time" to study (magic-user or elf) or pray (cleric). Magic-users & elves must also have their spell books w/ them to regain spells (for low level characters I am ok w/ being able to carry around yr spell book; however, once you have 10 or more spells within, we need to talk).

AFFECT NORMAL FIRES: Range: 1/2'/level, Duration: 1 round/level; This spell enables the caster to cause small fires - from as small as a torch or lantern to as large as a normal bonfire of 3' max diameter - to reduce in size & light to become match-like or increase in light so as to become as bright as a light spell.  Reducing the fire will cut fuel consumption to half normal, & increasing the fire will double consumption.  Note that heat output is not altered in either case.

CHARM MONSTER: Range: 120', Duration: special; This spell affects all creatures except undead like a charm person spell.  If the monsters charmed have 3 or less HD, roll 3d6 to see how many are affected.  Otherwise, only one monster will be affected.

CHARM PERSON: Range: 120', Duration: See below; This spell can be used on any human, or human-like creature (such as bugbears, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds, lizard men, ogres, pixies, or sprites).  It will not affect undead, nor creatures larger than an ogre.  If the victim fails to make a saving throw vs. Spells, the victim will believe that the spell caster is its "best friend" and will try to defend the caster against any threat (real or imagined).  If the caster speaks a language that the charmed creature understands, commands may be given to the victim.  Any commands given will usually be obeyed, except that orders against its nature (alignment & habits) may be resisted, and an order to kill itself will be refused.  Creatures w/ above average intelligence (13-18) may make a new saving throw each day.  Creatures w/ avg INT (9-12) may save again once per week, & creatures w/ below avg INT (3-8) may save again once each month.  (A charm may be removed by a dispel magic spell.)

COMPREHEND LANGUAGES: Range: Touch, Duration: 5 rounds/level; Caster is able to read an otherwise incomprehensible written message such as a treasure map (but not magical writing, other than to know it is "magic") or understand the language of a speaking creature.  Either case the caster must touch the itemor creature to understand them & the spell does not enable the caster to write or speak the language himself.  The reverse spell, confuse languages, prevents comprehension or cancels a comprehend languages spell.

CURE LIGHT WOUNDS: Range: 0, Duration: permanent; This spell will heal 2-7 points (1d6+1) of damage done to any living creature when the cleric touches the individual.  This spell may also be used to cure paralysis, but will not then cure any points of damage.  The spell may be cast on the cleric's own body.  The spell's effect will not, in any case, increase a creature's HP over their maximum.

DANCING LIGHTS: Range: 4' + 1'/level, Duration: 2 rounds/level; When cast, @ his or her option, from 1 to 4 lights which resemble either a) torches and/or lanterns (& cast that amt of light), b) glowing spheres of light (such as evidenced by will-o-wisps), or c) one faintly glowing, vaguely man-like shape...  The dancing lights  move as the spell caster desires, forward or back, straight or turning corners, w/ concentration upon such movement by the spell caster. The spell will wink out if the range or duration is exceeded.

DETECT EVIL: Range: 120', Duration: 6 turns; This spell can be used to detect evil intentions, or evilly enchanted objects within 120' causing the creatures or objects to glow.  Actual thoughts are not detected; only the "feeling of evil".  The exact definition of "evil" is left to each referee, and players should discuss this point so that all are in agreement; "Chaotic" is not always "evil".  Poison and physical traps are neither good nor evil.

DETECT MAGIC: Range: 60', Duration: 2 turns; This spell determines if there has been an enchantment laid upon a person, place, or thing, causing any magic item within 60' to glow.  Several items may be tested until the spell's duration has ended.  It is useful, for example, to discover if some item is magical, if a door has been magically held or wizard locked (see Magic-user & Elf Spells), and so forth.

ELVISH SPEARS: Range: 150', Duration: 1 continuous turn of combat; An elvish spear is a thick splinter of wood that magically chips from a tree or trees when the spell is cast, causing 2-9 (1d8+1) damage per spear.  Elvish spears automatically hit their target, as long as the target is visible.  Caster must be within 150 yards of a forest of trees, or within 75 yards of a lone tree to cast this spell. For every three levels the caster has gained, he or she may direct an additional spear when casting the spell (ie. 4th level Elf would direct two spears).  Numerous spears may be shot @ one target, or many.

ENLARGEMENT: Range: 30', Duration: 1 + level of spell caster in turns; This spell increases the size & mass of the object upon which it is cast.  It doubles the size of non-living matter, & it increases the size of living matter by one-half (example: a 6' man would become 9' tall).  Only one object or thing can be affected by the spell, & the caster must be able to see or touch the object or thing in order to make the spell work.  Note it will not add to the magical nature of any object, so a potion enlarged will simply be a single potion w/ a greater volume.  It will, for example, make a door stronger, however, as an enlargement spell will cause it to be twice as thick.  In cases where the object is very large, the spell is limited by a volume equal to 12 cubic feet/-level of the spell caster, i.e. a 10th level magic-user could enlarge an object up to 120 cubic feet in volume. 

ENTANGLING VINES: Range: 8', Duration: 1 turn; The caster is able to cause plants in the area of effect to entangle creatures within the area.  The grasses, weeds, bushes, trees, etc will sprout vines that wrap & twist & entwine about creatures, thus holding them fast for the duration of the spell.  If a saving throw is made, the effect of the spell is to slow the creatures movement by 50% for spell duration.

ESP: Range: 60', Duration: 12 turns; This spell will allow the caster to "hear" thoughts.  The spell caster must concentrate for one full turn in one direction to "hear" the thoughts (if any) of a creature within range.  Any single creature's thoughts may be understood (regardless of the language), but if more than one creature is in the line of "hearing", a confused jumble of thoughts will be "heard".  In this case, the caster may concentrate in that direction for an extra turn to sort out the jumble & concentrate on one creature.  The spell caster may "hear" through 2 feet of rock, but a thin coating of lead will block the ESP.  The thoughts of the undead (if any) cannot be "heard" by means of this spell.

FLOATING DISC: Range: 6', Duration: 6 turns; This spell creates an invisible magical platform about the size & shape of a small round shield which can carry up to 5000 coins (500 pounds) of weight.  It cannot be created in a place occupied by another object.  The floating disc will be created @ the height of the caster's waist, & will remain @ that height, following the caster wherever he or she goes.  If the caster goes further than 6 feet from the disc, it will automatically follow, w/ a movement rate = to the caster's.  When the spell duration ends, the floating disc will disappear, suddenly dropping anything that was on it.

HOLD PORTAL: Range: 10', Duration: 2-12 turns; This spell will magically hold shut a door, gate, or similar portal.  A knock spell will open the held portal.  A creature of 3+ hit dice greater than the caster may break open the held portal in one round.

LIGHT: Range: 120', Duration: 6 turns + the level of the caster, in turns; This spell casts light in a circle, 30' in diameter.  It is bright enough to read by, but not equal to full daylight.  It may be cast on an object.  The light may be cast @ a creature's eyes.  The creature may make a Savig Throw vs. Spells, but if it fails, the victim will be blinded for the duration of the spell.  A blinded creature may not attack.  [for CLERICS this spell lasts 12 turns automatically]

MAGIC MISSILE: Range: 150', Duration: 1 turn; A magic missile is a glowing arrow, created & shot by magic, which does 2-7 (1d6+1) damage to any creature it strikes.  It will automatically hit any visible target.  For every 5 levels the caster has gained, he or she may shoot two more missiles when casting the spell.  These may be shot @ one target, or many targets.

MASS CHARM: Range: 120', Duration: special; This spell functions the same as charm person except that it can affect any number of monsters or individuals within range up to a maximum of 30 HD worth.  All individuals affected suffer -2 on their Save vs. Spells to resist.

PASS WITHOUT TRACE: Range: Touch, Duration: 1 turn/level; When cast recipient can move through any type of terrain - mud, snow, dust, etc - & leave neither footprint nor scent.  Thus, tracking the caster is impossible.

PROTECTION FROM EVIL: Range: 0 (caster only), Duration: 12 turns; This spell circles the cleric w/ a magic barrier.  This barrier will move w/ the caster.  The spell serves as some protection from "evil" attacks (attacks by monsters of some alignment other than the cleric's) by adding 1 to the cleric's saving throws, and subtracting 1 from the "to hit" die roll of these opponents.  The spell will also keep out hand-to-hand attacks from enchanted (summoned or created) monsters (such as living statues), but not missile fire attacks from these creatures.  The cleric may break this protection by attacking the monster in hand-to-hand combat, but still gains the bonus "to hit" and saves.

PURIFY FOOD & WATER: Range: 10', Duration: indefinite; This spell will make spoiled or poisoned food & water usable.  The spell will purify one ration of food (iron or standard), 6 skins of water, or enough normal food to feed a dozen people.

READ LANGUAGES: Range: 0 (caster only), Duration: 2 turns; This spell allows caster to read (not speak) any unknown language or code, including treasure maps, secret symbols, etc.

READ MAGIC: Range: 0, Duration: 1 turn; By casting this spell, magical words or runes on an item or scroll may be read.  W/o this spell unfamiliar magic cannot be read or understood, even by a magic-user.  Once looked @ w/ read magic, the item can be read later w/o the spell.  A magic-user's or elf's spell book is written so that only the owner may read them w/o using this spell.

REMOVE FEAR: Range: 0, Duration: 2 turns; When the cleric casts this spell & touches a creature, the spell will calm the creature & remove all fear.  If the recipient is running away due to magical fear, he or she may make a saving throw vs. Spells, adding a bonus to the roll equal to the level of the cleric (for example, a 3rd level cleric will give a bonus of +3 to the roll).

RESIST COLD: Range 30', Duration: 6 turns; This spell allows a creature to resist the effects of cold.  Freezing temps will not harm a creature w/ this spell cast on it.  This spell gives all creatures within the spell range a bonus of +2 on saving throws vs. "cold attacks" (such as white Dragon Breath).  Any damage from cold is also reduced by -1 point per die of damage rolled (or per hit die of the white dragon).  However, any cold attacks will still inflict at least 1 point of damage per die (or hit die) rolled.

SHIELD: Range: 0, Duration: 2 turns; This spell circles the spell caster w/ a magical barrier b/w the caster & his or her enemies. It moves w/ the spell caster. It gives the caster an Armor Class (AC) of 2 against missiles & AC 4 against other attacks.

SLEEP: Range: 240', Duration: 4-16 turns; This spell will put creatures to sleep for 4d4 turns. The caster can only effect creatures w/ 4 +1 Hit Dice or less. [There is more specific info on this spell I will add later]

SPEAK IN TONGUES: Range: 0 (caster only), Duration: 1 turn; This spell allows the caster to speak in a magical language that may or may not be understood by others within earshot.  During an encounter w/ a monster, casting the spell will grant the caster +3 on the Monster Reaction table.  Also, there is a 35% chance that any other clerics, magic-users or elves present (roll for each) will understand what is said, usually a prophecy, tip, or some sort of divinely inspired wisdom or insider info determined by the DM.  This "wisdom" is not known to the caster & is only to be told to one who understands it.  What is told to the remainder of the party, etc. is up to the player.

SPEAK WITH ANIMALS: Range: 30', Duration: 6 turns; The caster can talk to any normal or giant form of animal life.  It will not affect intelligent animal races or fantastic creatures.  This spell will allow the caster to speak to one type of animal (like a dog) within the given range.  The animal may be talked into doing a favor if the monster's reaction so indicates.  The favor requested must be understood by the animal & it must be possible for the creature to do.

VENTRILOQUISM: Range: 60', Duration: 2 turns; This spell will allow the caster to make the sound of his or her voice come from someplace else, such as a statue, animal, & so forth.

WEB: Range: 10', Duration: 48 turns; Web creates a many-layered mass of strong, sticky strands. Creatures caught within a web become entangled among the gluey fibers. Entangled creatures can't move, but can break loose depending on their strength. Any being with strength in a human range can break free of the webs in 2d4 turns. Creatures of higher strength or magically augmented strength above 18 can break free in 4 rounds. The strands of a web spell are flammable. All creatures within flaming webs take 1d6 points of fire damage from the flames for 2 rounds. After this time surviving creatures are free of the webs.
