Metal (Cha)

Echoing Weapon

Range: Touch

Rote Casting: 1 Action

Duration: 1 Minute

Target: 1 weapon that is unattended or wielded by you or a willing ally

You channel magical energy into the target weapon, and the air around it faintly hums each time you strike a blow, as the impact is absorbed into the weapon. If a creature is wielding the weapon at the end of its turn, the weapon discharges a burst of sound targeting one creature in Melee to the wielder (if any). The sonic damage this deals is equal to the number of successful attacks with the target weapon that the wielder made that turn.

Heightened: For every 2 levels you heighten this spell by, the sonic damage increases by 1 per successful attack

Junk Armor

Range: Touch

Rote Casting: 1 Action

Duration: 1 Day

Target: 1 bulk of metallic scrap

You turn a pile of technological junk into a suit of light armor. You must target inert, nonworking electronic equipment of at least 1 bulk.

You can cause the armor to be created on yourself or an adjacent willing or unconscious ally. Light armor you create requires proficiency to use without penalties as normal. If you use this spell to create light armor, the armor has an Armor bonus equal to your ranks in the Sphere of Magic, and a maximum Dex bonus equal to 1 + one quarter ranks in the Sphere of Magic.

Junk Shards

Range: Close

Rote Casting: 1 Action

Duration: Instantaneous

Target: 1 creature

Defence: basic Armor

You summon sharp fragments of junk that fly toward your target and deal 3d6 piercing and slashing damage. The spell leaves behind 1 bulk of metal scrap in the target creature’s space that is suitable for targeting with spells such as junk armor, junk restraints, or junksword.

Junksword

Range: Touch

Rote Casting: 1 Action

Duration: 1 Scene

Target: 1 bulk of metallic scrap

You turn a pile of scrap into a one-handed melee weapon that you can wield against your foes. You must target inert, nonworking metallic scrap or electronic equipment of at least 1 bulk. Valid targets include a large broken computer system, nonworking or unconnected computer parts, a vehicle or another such trashed mechanical system, or any related electronic components or combination of the above, as long as the junk is found in sufficient quantity.

You are automatically proficient with this melee weapon, and you use your Metal spell attack checks in place of Metlee attack checks. A junksword functions only for its creator, and once created it cannot leave your hand. Should you wish to sheathe it, the junksword obliges by collapsing into a wreath of junk that surrounds your hand like a glove.

You can grant your junksword additional abilities based on the spell’s level. You can change one modification to your junksword as a move action, or you can completely reconfigure all of its modifications as a full action.

Variable Spell: This spell can be cast at the following levels: 

1st: Your junksword deals 1d4 bludgeoning and slashing damage . In addition, you can grant your junksword up to two of the following special properties: disarming, nonlethal, parrying, or trip.

2nd: Your junksword deals 1d8 bludgeoning and slashing damage. In addition, you can grant your junksword up to three of the special properties from the 1st-level list.

3rd: Your junksword deals 2d4 bludgeoning and slashing damage. In addition, you can grant your junksword up to three of the special properties from the 1st-level list, plus the staggered critical effect. 

4th: This functions as the 3rd-level junksword, but it deals 2d8 bludgeoning and slashing damage.

5th: This functions as the 3rd-level casting of junksword, but the junksword deals 3d10 bludgeoning and slashing damage

6th: This functions as the 3rd-level casting of junksword, but the junksword deals 6d6 bludgeoning and slashing damage

Magic Armor

Magic Weapon

The weapon glimmers with arcane energy. The target gains +1 to hit, and it increases its damage dice by two steps.

Mask Metal

Range: Touch

Rote Casting: 1 Action

Duration: 1 Hour

Target: 1 metal object of Light bulk or less

This glamer makes a metal object undetectable to metal detectors. When any creature or character makes an Awareness or Investigate check to Seek the object, they do not gain equipment bonuses from any device that detects metal.

Thicket of Knives

Rote Casting: 1 Action

You create numerous phantom copies of your weapon, hiding your true movements and rendering your attacks unpredictable. You gain a +2 status bonus to Deception checks to Feint.

Glitterdust

Range: 4 Range

Rote Casting: 1 Action

Duration: Instantaneous

Target: Close-range burst

Defence: Dodge

You coat the area in glittering metallic dust. Make a Metal spell attack roll against the targets' Dodge defence. If a creature has its invisibility negated by this spell, it is concealed instead of invisible. This applies both if the creature was already invisible and if it benefits from new invisibility effects before the end of the invisibility negation effect from this spell.

• Critical Success The target is blinded for 1 round and dazzled for 10 minutes. Its invisibility is negated for 10 minutes.
• Success The target is dazzled for 1 minute and its invisibility is negated for 1 minute.
• Failure The target's invisibility is negated for 2 rounds.
• Critical Failure The target is unaffected.

Ironskin

Range: Self

Rote Casting: 1 Action

Duration: 1 Scene

Target: Self

Your skin hardens and takes on a rough metallic sheen. You gain a +4 status bonus to your Armor. While you are under the effect of this spell, you can immediately end it as a free action to negate any one application of precision damage (such as from a sneak attack) or the bonus damage from a critical hit. Dismissing the spell in this way is not an action, but you must be conscious and aware of the attack to do so.

Magnetic Attraction

Range: 2 Range

Rote Casting: 1 Action

Duration: Instantaneous

Target: Up to 10 metal objects with a total Bulk of 1 or less

You adjust your magnetic polarity, plucking knives from hands and watches from wrists. The targeted objects fly to your location, letting you catch them easily in your hands, or dropping to the ground at your position, at your discretion. Unattended objects fly to you automatically. If you target secured objects or those in another creature's possession (such as sheathed weapons), you must attempt to Disarm the creature of the metal objects, making a Metal spell attack roll instead of an Unarmed Attack check to do so.

Instead of drawing the objects to yourself, you can polarize a single metal object within range, designating it as a lodestone and causing the metal objects to fly to it instead. The lodestone must be at least three times the total Bulk of the targeted metal objects. Objects will stick to the lodestone for 1 minute, though they can be wrenched away with an Interact action.

Magnetic Repulsion

Range: Self

Rote Casting: 1 Action

Duration: 1 Minute

Target: Self

You adjust your magnetic polarity, causing metal objects to jump and shudder away from you. Attacks made with metal objects against you take a –1 status penalty, and the area in Melee range of you is considered difficult terrain for creatures made of metal or wearing metal armor.

While this spell is active, you require an additional Interact action before using a metal object (including to attackwith a metal weapon), and if you're wearing metal armor, you're slowed 1.
