Spells
There are three types of spells; daybound, nightbound, and shadowbound spells.
Daybound spells are granted to priests. They are to be cast during daytime, or under a source of light. If they are cast during night, only one d6 is used to cast.
Nightbound spells are granted to witches. They are to be cast during night time or in darkness. If they are cast during the day, only one d6 is used to cast.
Shadowbound spells are available only out in the wild, waiting to be accessed, through hunting legendary monsters to collect soulstone.
Starting Spells
A magic-user starts the game knowing number of core spells (either daybound or nightbound) equal to their INT. The levels of selected spells cannot be higher than the character's INT.
Learning New Spells
Accessing a new spells requires a soulstone sliver, and a ritual to determine the spell accessed.
The maximum number of spells a magic-user can learn is determined by adding their INT to six. The sum is the maximum number of spells they can learn.
When a character, whose known spells reached its limit, wants to learn a new spell, he must first remove a spell from its known spells.
Daybound spells
Below you will find the list of core spells available for Priests.
Level | Name | Description | Range (yards) |

2 | Sanctuary | creates a five-yard wide, ethereal protective shield covering the target area and protecting it from any external harm for 10 seconds (two combat rounds). | 20 |
2 | Charge | Enables the target to charge, rushing through any obstacles (breaking doors, ignoring engagement when in combat, etc.) for 5 seconds (one turn). If the target runs through any obstacles, such as walls, doors, etc. it receives 1d6 damage and +1 per per obstacle encountered. | 20 |
3 | Epiphany | Enables the caster to communicate with the ethereal realm, asking a simple question to his god(s) and getting an answer. It takes about one watch (four hours), and must be cast in a place of worship, and not during combat, preferably during a ritual practice.

4 | Provoke | When cast in combat, it causes the target to to attack (or charge if not adjacent to it) the caster even when the target is engaged. And when the spell is cast in non-combat environments, it causes the target to attack, turning its attitude to hostile. | 20 |
5 | Resolve | Heals the ally target equal to the value of die roll used to cast it. Alternately, it can inflict the same amount of damage when used on non-allies. | 25 |
5 | Defiance | Forces the target creature to turn hostile toward the caster and only attack him, ignoring any other hostile combatants. It gives the caster 1d6+1 damage for 5 seconds (1 round) when cast. The spell’s effect is dissolved when target dies, or is forced to retreat. | 15 |
6 | Guiding Light | Allows the caster’s holy symbol to radiate for 25 seconds (5 turns), illuminating an area of a 15-yard diameter. Alternately, this spell can be used to create an orb of blinding light within a 10-yard area, rendering any attacker within its area of effect ineffective for 10 seconds (2 turns).

7 | Resonance | Creates a bond between the caster and an ally, friendly target creature. By this bond, the caster can access the target’s life force, i.e. its HP, using it as if it were his own.

This bond can only be set with a single creature, rendering the previous bond useless when cast with another target. | touch (for casting) |
7 | Cleansing | Removes any negatives effects on target creature, and heals it fully. When used on objects, such as food, it purifies, making it available for consumption. Additionally, when cast on simple small items such a nail-locked crate, or a simple locked chest, it breaks the object apart. | 20 |
8 | Exalted | Causes the target to be blessed by the caster’s gods, giving the target an additional 2 HP (2d6) for the duration of 10 seconds (2 turns.) Alternately, this spell can be used to give blessing in attack instead of health, giving the target extra 2d6 damage when it attacks. | 15 |
8 | Dark Reaping | Starting from the point of casting, this spell allows the caster to swing an ethereal scythe, cutting down all creatures that are within its swing by giving them 2 2d6+1 damage. The spell creates a V shaped area of effect, reaching a distance of 15 yards. | 15 farthest point, cast range N/A |
9 | Harmony | Allows caster to create a harmony with a friendly ally unit within range, allowing the ally to mirror his acts for a duration of 5 seconds (1 round). So, if the caster inflicts # damage in the next turn, the target ally also inflicts # damage, regardless of its weapon, etc. Similarly, if the caster heals himself # number of HPs, the ally is also healed. | |
9 | Animator | raises 1d6+2 skeletons of the fallen warriors from the ground, (raising +1 additional skeletons per combatants died in the ongoing melee, if cast during combat), giving full command to the caster. The skeletons from the die roll rise in front of the caster while the additional skeletons rise from the spot where they were recently killed.
The skeletons acts as a single unit and should be treated as a henchman when giving tactics. If cast in non-combat environment, they will survive for three watches. | N/A |
10 | Unity | ||
10 | Leech | Dissects the torso of the target creature (its STR must be lower than the caster’s) killing it instantly, and summoning 3 ethereal vultures who will feed on the target’s corpse for 5 seconds (1 round).
