            Combat Skill

                                    

               This skill is a measure of how good your basic combat skills are.


The higher your combat skill, the better your chance to hit your opponent


in hand-to-hand combat.  Note that although your combat skill plays a


part in determining your chance to hit, your specific weapon skill (such


as slash/bludgeon/pierce), and to some extent your level, also affect


your chance.





  This skill is based on STRENGTH, since strength is the main factor


in how well you are able to break through your opponent's defenses,


or deflect his blows, or how long you are able to continue fighting


before becoming too worn to fight effectively.  This skill also leads


to many warrior-type skills.

            Command Spell

                                    

            


Mana Cost : 25                Target    : victim


Save      : Versus Spell for Negation


Effect    : "Sit!"





The pious can move others to action through the strong will of their diety.





The "command" spell allows you to force the victim to do any one-word command


you specify, for example "flee" or "sleep".  The victim must be able to


understand you.


            Conjure Espirit Spell

                                    

            


Mana Cost : 30                Target    : object


Save      : None


Effect    : Create a minion from a basic item in your inventory





All items possess magical properties, but some are easier for a spell caster


to draw from.  With the aid of their diety, those trained in spiritual ways


may create life out of an inanimate object.  Using this spell, the caster is


able to use a certain item as a key into another realm.  He can then reach


out and bind a being from that realm to his will.  Wise casters use different


objects to summon different creatures.  Most objects are too difficult to


focus with, but others can summon powerful beings.  It is rumored that the


most basic of elemental spirits can be summoned from everyday items that


relate to their substance.

            Continual Light Spell

                                    

            Mana Cost : 35                Target    : None


Save      : None


Effect    : "Let there be light..."





After learning the simple spell of illumination, the next step is to learn to


surround yourself with light.  This spell conjures an intense sphere of light


that engulfs the caster's body and illuminates the surrounding area.  There


is no way to deactivate the spell once it is cast, short of dispelling it or


letting it run it's course.

            Corpse Walk Spell

                                    

            


Mana Cost : 100               Target    : victim


Save      : None


Effect    : Dead man walking! Dead man walking!





This spell is a very special application of the animate-dead spell. You


cast it on a living member of your group (or yourself).  The spell uses


the identity of the person it is cast on to locate that person's corpse.


Then that corpse is animated, wherever it is.  The zombie thus created


will try to walk back to the caster of the spell, bringing all the equipment


and possessions it had at time of death (excepting ones that were otherwise


removed from the corpse after death).  Unfortunately, zombies have no


intelligence of their own.  They will not open doors and they can't walk


through traps.

            Mana Cost : 60                Target    : victim


Save      : Special


Effect    : "May the Darkness put out your righteous light!"





This spell will only affect good creatures.  This spell will damage a creature


in proportion to how good it is.  If you are less powerful than the creature


then the damage is halved. If the target is a summoned creature then they will


take double damage.

            Dancing Sword Spell

                                    

            


Mana Cost : 50                Target    : object


Save      : None


Effect    : Bestow life upon a weapon to do your bidding.





This spell animates any weapon in your inventory with magical force, causing


the weapon to rise up and "dance" in the air.  You can then command the weapon


to fight for you as you would any other follower.  The animated weapon will


have magical life force and fighting capability proportional to the level of


the caster, but will retain the same damage that it had as an inanimate


object.  Some spells placed on weapons may be disrupted by the magical life


force and not carry over to the animated weapon.





Note that once the magical life force has been dispelled (through receiving


enough damage), the sudden energy loss causes the weapon to vanish in a burst


of energy, so do not use this spell on weapons you wish to keep.
