Control Winds

Range: Self

Rote Casting: 3 Actions

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 Scene

Area: 2 Range burst

Defence: Endurance

You alter the movement of air in an area around you. Wind created by this spell imposes a penalty to Awareness checks equal. At the GM’s discretion, outdoor wind conditions are generally light wind, while indoor wind conditions are generally no wind; these conditions can vary by environment. This spell can’t create wind in an area that has no atmosphere.

Variable Spell: You can cast this spell at the following levels

1st: When you cast control winds as a 1st-level spell, you can lower or raise the wind speed in the area by one level (for example, from strong wind to either moderate or severe wind), to a minimum of no wind and a maximum of severe wind.

2nd: When you cast control winds as a 2nd-level spell, you can lower or raise the wind speed in the area by up to two levels, to a minimum of no wind and a maximum of severe wind.

3rd: When you cast control winds as a 3rd-level spell, you can lower or raise the wind speed in the area by up to three levels, to a minimum of no wind and a maximum of severe wind.

When you dismiss the spell or it otherwise ends, you can create a blast of severe wind in an instantaneous line-shaped burst that originates from you and extends out to 2 Range. Creatures that enter the area or start their turn there must attempt a Endurance saving throw to avoid effects based on their size: Creatures of Size 2 or smaller are knocked prone and pushed 1d4 × 10 feet along the wind’s path, up to the end of the wind’s range, and the creature takes 1d4 bludgeoning damage per 10 feet. Creatures of Size 3 or 4 are knocked prone. Size 5 or 6 creatures treat the area as difficult terrain. In addition, flying creatures in the area must attempt an Acrobatics check to fly in dangerous wind conditions. This gust can also do whatever a gust of severe wind might be expected to do, such as put out small flames, fan large flames, blow away vapors, and so on.

4th: When you cast control winds as a 4th-level spell, it functions as the 3rd-level version, but you can raise the wind speed up to a maximum of windstorm. 

If you create a blast of wind when you dismiss the spell or it otherwise ends, the blast is windstorm level. Creatures are treated as 2 Sizes smaller when determining the effects of the blast on them.

Feather Fall

Range: 2 Range

Rote Casting: 1 Reaction

Duration: 1 Minute

Target: 1 willing creature

You cause the air itself to arrest a fall. The target's fall slows to 60 feet per round, and the portion of the fall during the spell's duration doesn't count when calculating falling damage. If the target reaches the ground while the spell is in effect, it takes no damage from the fall. The spell ends as soon as the target lands.

Rote Casting: 1 Action

Large or smaller creatures in the area must attempt an Endurance save. Size 7 or smaller creatures that later move into the gust must attempt the save on entering.

• Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
• Success The creature can't move against the wind.
• Failure The creature is knocked prone. If it was flying, it suffers the effects of critical failure instead.
• Critical Failure The creature is pushed 1 Range in the wind's direction, knocked prone, and takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage.

Parch

Dry winds dehydrate a creature. Make an Air spell attack check against the target's Endurance defence, if used on a creature with the water trait or a creature made primarily of liquid (such as many oozes), the creature uses the outcome for one degree of success worse than the result. Creatures whose bodies contain no significant moisture (such as earth elementals) are immune to Parch.

• Critical Success The target takes a –2 status penalty to its checks and DCs for 1 minute and is dazzled as long as it has this penalty.
• Success The target takes a –1 status penalty to its checks and DCs for 1 minute.

Targets: 1 unattended object or willing creature

You defy gravity and levitate the target 5 feet off the ground. For the duration of the spell, you can move the target up or down 10 feet when you use a Concentration action. A creature floating in the air from levitate takes a –2 circumstance penalty to attack rolls. A floating creature can spend a single action to stabilize itself and negate this penalty for the remainder of its turn. If the target is adjacent to a fixed object or terrain of suitable stability, it can move across the surface by climbing (if the surface is vertical, like a wall) or crawling (if the surface is horizontal, such as a ceiling). The GM determines which surfaces can be climbed or crawled across.

Defence: basic Fortitude

You rapidly draw the air from your surroundings, hoarding it for yourself. Creatures in the area when the spell is cast take 5d6 bludgeoning damage and must make a Fortitude save. A creature that fails its save can't speak above a raspy whisper for 1 round. A creature that critically fails can't speak or use abilities that require it to breathe for 1 round. This prevents it from using effects that require speech, such as casting spells with verbal components, and from using a breath weapon or similar ability.

Creatures made of air (such as air elementals) attempting a save against this spell get a degree of success one worse than they rolled.

Heightened: Each level you increase the spell's level by increases the damage by 2d6

Each Medium or smaller creature in the area when you cast the Spell or that moves into spell’s area must attempt an Endurance check.

Wall of Wind

Range: 4 Range

Rote Casting: 2 Actions

Duration: 1 Minute

Defence: Endurance

You create a barrier of gusting winds that hinders anything moving through it. The wall of swirling winds is 5 feet thick, 60 feet long, and 30 feet high. The wall stands vertically, but you can shape its path. Though the wall of wind distorts the air, it does not hamper sight. The wall has the following effects.

Ammunition from physical ranged attacks—such as arrows, bolts, sling bullets, and other objects of similar size—can't pass through the wall. Attacks with bigger ranged weapons, such as javelins, take a –2 circumstance penalty to their attack rolls if their paths pass through the wall. Massive ranged weapons and spell effects that don't create physical objects pass through the wall with no penalty.

The wall is difficult terrain to creatures attempting to move overland through it. Gases, including creatures in gaseous form, can't pass through the wall.

A creature that attempts to fly through the wall using a move action must attempt an Endurance check.

• Critical Success The creature can move through the wall normally this turn.
• Success The flying creature can move through the wall this turn, but the wall is difficult terrain.
• Failure The wall stops the movement of the flying creature, and any remaining movement from its current action is wasted.
