While within this field, the target is nearly invulnerable to physical damage. The priestess attempting to use this sanctity must be of perfect alignment. In addition, the effectiveness of the sanctity is based on the combined power of the user's intellect and wisdom. The constitution of the user is the determining factor is how long the field of protection lasts and how fast the recovery time is before the priestess can use another sanctity. [ Page of competence turning ] Usage: invoke 'page of competence turning' Usage: cast 'page of competence turning' When shall the page of competence turning be used? Few decisions are as hard for the wizard as this one. Page of competence turning, can affect the wizard and his or her followers with as much force as it can affect the enemy. But great is the power of this spell. And so are the costs, both in draining of mana or spirit and draining of competence. The duration of the turning is based on the wizard's constitution. The recovery time, before pulling another page from the planes, is based on the wizard's wisdom. [ Passage of dark summoning ] Usage: cast 'passage of dark summoning' Usage: invoke 'passage of dark summoning' When a necromancer reaches mastery of their sect, they can realize beings into existence by will alone. This passage is just that: the summoning, the creation, which labels necromancers as "dark creators". Of all the passages, this one yields the greatest toll. In addition to the massive drain on the necromancer when casting or invoking this passage, the recovery period that must pass before another passage can be read is extreme. Little is known about the creatures which are summoned by this passage, except that they embody the power of their necromancer masters. [ Passage of the bleeding moment ] Usage: cast 'passage of the bleeding moment' target Usage: invoke 'passage of the bleeding moment' target Usage: cast 'passage of the bleeding moment' (when already in battle - targets opponent) Usage: invoke 'passage of the bleeding moment' (when already in battle - targets opponent) The passage of the bleeding moment is but one of the necromancers sacred passages. It is but one passage, but it is one of great potential. What great potential means here is that the passage alone is not of any great importance. In fact, the passage of the bleeding moment is nearly useless in the hands of the novice, it grants the user nothing of consequence in return. Yet when in the hands of a necromancer of substantial size, the bleeding moment can return great rewards. The passage of the bleeding moment is a passage when cast or invoked attempts to drain a target of their life-force for a mere moment in time. In that single moment, the energy from the target is absorbed into the user of the passage. Because this moment is fleeting, the power of the passage is based on the user's speed, in addition to his or her wisdom. The faster the necromancer can weave the passage and drain the target, the more full the affects will be of the passage. The amount of bleeding that takes place is concluded from the necromancer's current health. Therefore a strong necromancer can bleed a target for massive amounts of energy, yet a fragile necromancer gains little or nothing at all. Due to the quickness of the passage, necromancers have often woven this spell and taken shelter before their target has an inkling of an idea of what had just passed. The life-force that is drained from the target is in the form of mana, spirit and endurance. Oddly enough, the bleeding moment drains the target of no health at all. This has been a curious issue for decades. Even now the most highly praised necromancers are baffled by this phenomenon, but perhaps there is reason behind this madness ... somewhere. [ Persuade ] Usage: persuade target Also known as the power of suggestion. Persuade is a spell that grows in power over time. As the caster gains more experience in the world and increases in skill level, it has been rumored that persuasion can tame even the most fierce beasts. Persuasion attempts to control the mind of the target allowing them to be controlled completely through, 'order'. However, it is rumored that most casters are unable to persuade those beings more powerful than themselves. For more information, see 'help order'. [ Petrify ] Usage: invoke 'petrify' target Usage: cast 'petrify' target Usage: invoke 'petrify' (when already in battle - targets opponent) Usage: cast 'petrify' (when already in battle - targets opponent) Although rarely seen, and only usable by those who have mastered their magic or mind, it's possible for a being to cause someone to be completely petrified. Petrification uses the power of the mind or magic to persuade someone or something into believing they are much more powerful than they would normally appear, thus, sending the being into a state of shock, rendering them unable to move for a short duration. Petrification is quite powerful, although the paralysis instilled by this spell does not last long. The success and recovery time of petrify is determined by the caster's/invoker's wisdom versus the target's constitution. [ Plane of safe housing ] Usage: cast 'plane of safe housing' Usage: invoke 'plane of safe housing' Plane of safe housing is a temporary barrier which encloses a small area in safety. This spell can be useful in a number of scenarios, one of which is that of temporarily protecting a group of individuals from hostiles. The duration of the safe housing is based on the user's constitution. The recovery allowing another planar power is based on the user's wisdom. |
