Stat Value: BEA

1st • Distraction

Range: 15 m · Area of Effect: 1 target · Duration: Concentration · Save: Yes Target sentient creature suffers a -20 penalty to all Attack and Skill Rolls for the Duration. Targets can make a new WSR at the end of each Assessment Phase to end the effects of this Spell. +3 Weave: add one target.

2nd • Prestidigitation

Range: 0 (touch) · Area of Effect: 1 target · Duration: 1 minute per Level · Save: No Target inanimate object not bigger than a dagger is covered by an illusion which makes it appear as part of the caster's body for the Duration. The illusion is extremely convincing and fools the senses of sight, smell, and touch. This Spell ends immediately if the caster stops carrying the object. +5 Weave: increase the size of the item targeted up to that of a short sword.

3rd • Phantom Theft

Range: 15 m · Area of Effect: 1 target · Duration: - · Save: No Target inanimate object weighing up to 3 kg disappears, reappearing in the hands of the caster a moment later. The caster must be able to see the item and there cannot be any physical obstacle (i.e. walls, closed doors, or other barriers) between the two. If the item is being held or carried by a creature, the wielder may pass a WSR to negate the effects of this Spell. +3 Weave: increase maximum weight of the target by 3 kg.

4th • Face Shifting

Range: 0 (self) · Area of Effect: caster · Duration: 1 hour per Level · Save: No The caster is covered by an illusion, making them appear and sound as someone else for the Duration. This spell can make the caster look slightly smaller or bigger (within 20% of their actual size) or appear as a member of a different humanoid Kin, but won't give them the ability to speak a language they don't know, and cannot mimic the appearance of a specific individual (i.e. it can make the caster appear like an Orc, but not like Gorzush, chieftain of the Skullbreakers clan). This illusion only affects the senses of sight and hearing, so creatures using other senses won't be fooled by it. +3 Weave: the illusion can mimic the appearance of a specific individual (within 20% of the caster's actual size) whom the caster has seen within the last 24 hours.

5th • Escape

7th • Ghostly Foes

Range: 30 m · Area of Effect: 1 target · Duration: Concentration · Save: Yes This Spell causes target sentient creature to see a shadowy, menacing foe attacking them. This is actually a hallucination, existing only in the target's mind, but seems completely real to the target, who treats it as if it were a real foe. The hallucination cannot cause any real damage, but the target must Parry all of its attacks. The target can pass a WSR at the end of each Assessment Phase to end the effects of this Spell.

8th • Tongue of Honey

Range: 15 m · Area of Effect: 1 target · Duration: varies · Save: Yes For as long as the caster speaks, target sentient creature will believe that anything the caster says is undeniably true.
