Description: This spell lets the user change minor details about their person, eye color, hair color and length, skin color warts etc., but nothing besides that. They could appear to be a different person by changing facial shape etc. Clothing doesn't change - it stays the same. One couldn't dramatically change their shape (like changing from human to troll sized, or to dwarf size) but they could in theory appear as an elf by changing their facial features and changing the shape of their ears.

Description: When the caster casts this spell they totally clean and refresh the person or object they touched. To do this on a person, that person must be willing for it to work or it has no effect. This spell could be used on a old table and suddenly the table would look brand new and polished.

Defending method: none
Description: This spell, when cast, does nothing more than making 3 inch globes of torch-equal light that can be used to float around the room, darting and dancing as the caster sees fit. This spell is great for entertainer types, and is a good distraction for someone that might have to go over and find out what the lights are, while you get away without ever having to get into combat.
Casting method: none
Defending method: none
Description: This spell creates light in a given space as strong as gentle daylight. It will not blind, but it is strong enough to read by and use for searching through dark woods without moonlight. This spell will also counter magical darkness spells for as long as the duration of the spell holds.
Mechanics: This spell costs two Stamina points, it last for one round per level of the caster. IE: Scathien is level 12, casts Dawns Early light. The spell lasts for 12 rounds.

Description: This spell lets the caster see an illusion for what it truly is. Something might have made the Caster think, cast the spell to test if what is seen is real, or unreal.
Mechanics: This spell's skill needs to be higher then the skills of the opposing illusion spell for it to work. It acts immediately, showing the caster the truth behind the illusion.

Defending method: other
Description: Casting this spell lets the caster (and only the caster) see magic items within their field of vision. This spell does not let the user see people able to use magic, but would allow them to see someone that had, for example, a magical armor spell around them. This spell will not allow the caster to see someone that has an illusion based spell as is, but might show the person with an illusion about them with a hazy light but not give them a true clue of what it is.
Casting method: other
Defending method: other
Description: This spell lets the caster open a dark shadowy door to another point within the casters line of site. It takes one full round to cast this spell and on the end of that round, the door has fully created and on the beginning of the second round, he may enter the doorway, blinking himself to the point of where the other door is waiting. This spell can reach a maximum of 100 feet and must have a completely unobstructed view. This spell can only be used once every other round and uses all actions if used in combat.

Defending method: other
Description: The faes and pixie/nixies of this world have both a generous heart and a mischievous nature. They feel now and again that the 'big' folk don't take them seriously or perhaps need a new 'eye' view of their world. So, in a sing song voice and a wave of arms and hands. When cast by a pixie or nixie there is a slightly more dramatic shower of glitter. The subject is subjected to all restrictions of a small sized race, and cannot cast offensive spells, steal, or engage in combat or sex with larger creatures for the duration.
:MECHANICS: This is a Touched based spell that requires OOC consent of said subject and lasts an hour per slot or until the caster releases the spell. The subject then returns to their normal size- unless they are bound or contained within an area that does not permit growth, in which case they resume their normal size within minutes of being freed or, the containment would last 1 day per times class taken. IE: Mage X3 = 3 days. When one of the smaller races casts this spell upon their chosen target, the subject shrinks to a comparable height to a fae in relation to their original height, as a fae going from larger to smaller form would.
(OOC Note: This Spell was created by Dia, edited for sphere clarification)

Defending method: none
Description: This Out of Battle spell lets the caster (who must have feathers) make an almost glowing aura around themselves, which totally enraptures anyone watching them. The caster is then free to start dancing, letting their hips sway, body moving gracefully, as they move to an unseen, almost flowing music that moves with their body, everything seeming just right. This spell by no means keeps someone watching them intently or makes them distracted; someone could look away at any time. But anyone continuing to watch this erotic dance will find themselves extremely attracted to the dancer: the way they move, flow, and seem to be at total ease.

For the simple cost of 4 stamina per casting, the Caster is able to discern the direction, elevation, and distance between him/herself and their anchored item. The range is 20 miles, plus 1 full mile per level of the caster. Useful for finding that slave you just can't seem to keep track of... provided that their collar didn't get removed.

Description: By means of this spell, the caster may leave a long-lasting spell upon any one particular inanimate object that is no larger than a collar or perhaps a bit of armor, in order to act as a beacon for the spell Locator (see Locator spell). It requires 6 stamina to cast, and may only be placed upon one object until that object is destroyed or the spell itself wears out and at such time, the spell must be recast. The spell will last for one full day per level of the caster. The spell will not function upon a living being, but is popular for paranoid owners to place upon their slave's collars.

Defending method: other
Description: This useful and highly prized spell causes a casual observer to dismiss the presence of the caster as unimportant so long as the caster does nothing which would draw attention to themselves and remains in place. Instead they will be thought of as though they were just one of the crowd, or a bystander. The caster is still visible and recognizable, so somebody who is specifically looking for the caster is not prevented from doing so by this spell. "Never underestimate the value of being able to sit and have a drink without being disturbed."
Casting method: none
Defending method: none
Description: The caster can repair 1 lb of material that was broken, ripped, or smashed, restoring it to what it was before it was destroyed.

Defending method: none
Description: This Out of Battle Spell allows the caster to send a very simple message to a single recipient in any one language of the caster's choosing (that they can normally speak and understand (The spell 'Tongues' will not help)). The range of the spell is 1 mile for every two levels of the caster, rounded down (with the exception of level 1 casters being able to utilize a 1 mile radius). The intended receiver must be well known to the caster or the spell will simply fizzle and go nowhere. The spell requires one full minute per mile away from the intended target to be delivered, and can only transfer very short messages. The caster must actually speak the words of the message aloud at the time of casting, though keep in mind if you whisper this spell, so too will the recipient hear but a whisper. If they are gagged or otherwise can not speak, the spell fails. The message is delivered audibly, so anyone within earshot may hear it. Once delivered, the intended receiver has 1 minute per level of the caster to 'answer' it, otherwise the spell dissipates unheard.

Description: When this spell is cast upon a willing (OOC consent) female victim, there will be an outward change of a shimmer of magic before her breasts will bulge and grow.

Description: By use of this spell, the caster may 'paint' upon any material they wish, changing the color of it. The spell radiates around the fingers of the caster, and they may move or glide their hand around as they see fit, able to change the color at their whim. The spell lasts for 4 rounds per the level of the caster. The spell may also be used to 'paint' upon living targets, but will wash off if scrubbed at.
Casting method: ranmagatk
Defending method: ranmagdef
Description: This spell is cast as a ranged magic. The victim feels an intense searing pain where the opponent targets it in different parts of the body. IE: Nipples, clit and so forth, useful if one is bound or has their mouth gagged. This spell requires no resistance roll if the victim is bound, prone, or similarly helpless; otherwise, a standard Ranged Magic Defense resistance roll is allowed. This spell is handy for those owners that like to cause some 'fun' agony to their pain slut slaves. Once a targeted area has been chosen on the victims body, it takes two rounds before the spell can be cast on a new targeted area of the body. This spell cannot be used to cause true damage to a victim; it's just for the sexual fetishes of life. Spell lasts for 3 rounds per level of Caster.
Casting method: other
Defending method: other
Description: This very minor reflect spell is only able to reflect Out of Battle spells that might be used or cast on the wielder of this spell. To see if the Reflect spell is successful, a contest of Close or Ranged (depending on the spell being used) Magical Attack is rolled against the Magical Defense of the like type from the user of the Reflect spell. If the 'attacker' beats the wielder of the Reflect spell, the spell works as normal with its usual effects taking hold, or another roll if need be (For example, if Kalagoth tried to use Pleasureful Pain on Eucep while Eucep had Reflect up, and Kalagoth managed to penetrate the Reflect spell, he would still need to roll to see if the Pleasureful Pain spell affected Eucep or not). If the Defender's roll beats the Attacker's, the spell rebounds right back to the Caster, causing them to come under the effects of their own spell, or making them roll a new set of Attack/Defense rolls. Defensive Enchantments do not enter into the Reflect roll's contest.. it is a pure, unmodified dice contest.
Casting method: none
Defending method: none
Description: Using this spell causes the caster's physical form to completely switch to the opposite gender of their species. "While occasionally useful as a disguise, this spell was created primarily for it's use in so-called recreational activities."
Mechanics: Upon casting, the caster's body completely transforms to the opposite gender for their species for one full day, or until the caster dismisses the spell or loses consciousness whichever occurs first. While a full transformation, the character's rough appearance remains the same, skin, eye and hair colour do not change without the additional aid of the Change Self spell. Those with no opposite gender to switch to, such as hermaphrodites and single-gendered races like nymphs, experience no effect from this spell.
Casting method: clomagatk
Defending method: clomagdef
Description: This spell lets the caster touch a target and engulf their mind in a haze of euphoria so that they are incapable of coherent action. The spell must overcome the target's close magical defense for it to function and if successful will last ten minutes per level of the Caster before the target recovers. Someone who has failed their resistance roll is under the effects of this spell, having no actions of their own until either the spell effects pass or the spell is canceled. "I hasten to assure the reader that the rumors of the addictive properties of this spell if used repeatedly on a person have been vastly overstated..."
(Special OOC Note - The effect of the Spell on the victim is immediately broken if they are subject to any form of attack - magical or physical.)

Description: With this spell, the caster can move objects within their line of sight. It can move a maximum 5 lbs of stuff at a time. Note that this spell is clumsy and inarticulate.

Description: This spell forces the one it is cast upon to speak only the truth for a limited time. The spell relies on touch, and must overcome the resistance of the intended victim (standard close magical attack/defense rolls made). If successful, roll 1d20 to determine how many actions that the person is forced to speak the truth (only the caster will know this number, but it must be conveyed OOC to the victim). This spell is canceled by and cancels the spell Lie Speak.

Description: With a few arcane words and fingers to sift over a page that has had words erased from a tome, this spell will once more return what words had once been upon a page and had been eliminated by the Spell Erase. Only one page per caster lever can be 'unerased' in this fashion before the spell must be cast again.

Defending method: none
Description: By means of this spell, the caster is able to surround his or her body, with heated arcane energy. This allows the caster to feel warm even in cold areas with lack of suitable clothing. This does not, however, keep a person dry in a rainstorm or snowstorm, though it would definitely prevent frost-bite or hypothermia. The spell lasts for 15 minutes per level of the caster. However if the caster is a Fire Mage, then the duration is automatically doubled making it 30 minutes per level of the Fire mage, and the Fire Mage can affect up to one more target. The spell requires 3 STA to activate.
Casting method: none
Defending method: none
Description: This spell lets the wizard magically place his or her mark on something. This mark cannot be removed by normal means and can only be placed on someone willing, should the caster wish to mark something living. The only way to remove this spell is to have a caster whose level is higher than the original mark's caster, or to go to Unigo (a small fee may be assigned).
Anywhere Spells

Defending method: none
Description: With the casting of this Out of Battle spell the caster rolls a 1d100 plus their level, and that is the number of minutes that they can stay in the air before the spell loses effect. This spell makes it so the caster can launch into the air, carrying no more then their normal weight, unable to support the weight of passengers. No matter who uses this spell, the amount of concentration required to remain airborne is taxing, and if the caster is forced or partakes in combat, they will find themselves drained of their STAMINA very quickly. Every full round a person using Fly is in combat, they lose 10 STA in addition to any offensive or defensive maneuvers they make, and no 'Evasion' roll is allowed to regain their STA while the spell is in use. Those that use the Fly spell are not nearly as nimble as creatures or beings with natural Flight.
Casting method: none
Defending method: none
Description: When cast, this spell allows the user greater fluidity in movement, granting them the ability to move and respond with higher reflexes and greater speed. In diced combat, it will add +1 AGILITY per slot for the duration of the entire battle. However, with the greater speed comes greater cost. All attack and defense rolls that use the AGILITY (AGI) stat (Close Physical Attack, Close Physical Defense, Ranged Physical Defense, and Ranged Magical Defense) cost 1 additional STAMINA per 3 slots put into the spell. This spell can be canceled at anytime but requires a round to do so.
Casting method: none
Defending method: none
Description: This is a magical alarm system that will surround the caster and any others within his/her group within a 20ft radius around him/her. It will mentally wake the caster if anyone or anything like a predator passes the perimeter of the spell.
