Spread

Spread is used for spells which use an area of effect such as lines, bursts, radii, and so on.

• Ray / Single: This is either a ray or a single target spell. It affects the target it's aimed for, and nobody else. MP: 0

• Burst: This spell affects a single target first, then affects other targets adjacent to the original target. The adjacent targets are only affected partially by the effect; if it deals damage it only deals half, if it is a bonus/penalty it only uses half the bonus/penalty (minimum of 0), and so on. MP: +1

• Radius: This spell bursts out in a radius from a target square, spreading out from that area. Those within the area of effect take full effect if hit or half effect on a miss. The range of the spell is instead used for the radius' spread (for example, a Range of Close uses a spread of 6 squares), and the range of the spell is instead multiplied by 5. MP: +2

• Line: This spell comes out as a line from the origin square of the spell. Those within the area of effect take full effect if hit or half effect on a miss. The range of the spell is instead used for the line's range, and the spell's origin square is the caster, the range of the spell is instead multiplied by 5. MP: +2

• Cone: This spell comes out as a cone from the origin square of the spell. Those within the area of effect take full effect if hit or half effect on a miss. The range of the spell is instead used for the line's range, and the spell's origin square is the caster. MP: +2

• Spiral: This spell comes out as a spiral from the origin square of the spell. Those within the area of effect take full effect if hit or half effect on a miss. This functions as a Line, but after the first 2 squares a new leg is created and turns 90 degrees (left or right, caster's choice), and each round after the first a new leg sprouts and turns 90 degrees. This is done out to the length of the spell if it were a Line, creating the final leg of the spell before dissipating the round thereafter. MP: +4

• Stream: This spell comes out as a stream from the origin square of the spell. Those within the area of effect take full effect if hit or half effect on a miss. This functions as a Line, but every round so long as the duration is 1 round or more, you can move the line as if you had cast it again. Doing this will require a new attack against any enemies caught in the attack after it has been moved. MP: +6

Special

These special effects for spells either reduce or increase MP, granting benefits or penalties onto the spell as well as affecting various aspects of the spell's usage.

• Pinpoint Precision: This spell does not require an attack roll to hit, it just does. This can only be used on spells with the "Minor Damage" type, this includes Minor Damage, Minor Stamina Damage, and so on. MP: +4

• Line of Sight: In order to use this spell, you need to see your target clearly. Any form of concealment, cover, or visual impairment (such as smoke) prevents you from targeting the individual with a spell. For example, even if you can see the individual's outline in the smoke, you cannot target them due to the impreciseness of the spell. This cannot be applied to spells with a range of melee. MP: -3

• Inner Spell: This spell starts its damning course through the individual's body. This can only be applied to spells which would normally go against Physical Defense, it instead goes against Bodily Defense. MP: +1

• Mental Spell: This spell wracks the target's brain first and foremost. This can only be applied to spells which would normally go against Physical Defense, it instead goes against Mental Defense. MP: +1

• Triggering Choice: Through careful selection a spellcaster can modify their spell to only activate at a certain circumstance. When the spell is cast the spellcaster can specify a circumstance they wish to activate the spell, and if the circumstance occurs within the next 8 hours the spellcaster's spell activates. This can only be used on spells which affect allies, not enemies. MP: +0

• Unstable: An unstable spell is cast with less magical resources, but is dangerous. If the spell deals damage, you take the spell's damage as well as if you were hit by it (armor applies if necessary). If the spell bestows a penalty, you also take that penalty for the same duration. This can only be applied to Harm effects or Penalty Effects. MP: -2
