Control, Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This spell, requiring a mere 1 FP and an IQ roll on touch, instantly nullifies ongoing natural or supernatural sleep and unconsciousness. It directly counters the effects of spells, powers, and Afflictions that induce such states, ripping someone from the Lattice's slumber-bond.

Statistics

Healing (Accessibility, Only to stop sleep and unconsciousness, -60%; Affliction Only, -40%; Capped, 8 FP, ‑10%; Magical, ‑10%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 7, +140%; Reliable 4, +20%; Xenohealing, Anything Alive, +80%) [66].

Archmagister's Counsel

Keep an Awakener close; there are far too many ways for rivals to magically put your best assets to sleep, and it’s a quick way to lose a battle before it begins. The Guild will call it 'healing'; I call it practical counter-intelligence.

Description

This working deals 1 point of cutting damage to an unconscious, living being. The Lattice does not care if the target is sleeping or simply out cold; the result is the same. There is no signature to this manipulation.

Statistics

Cutting Attack 1 (Accessibility, Only on unconscious living creatures, -65%; Based on HT, +20%; Malediction 2, +150%; No Signature, +20%; No Blunt Trauma, -20%; No Knockback, -10%; Sorcery, -15%) [4].

Archmagister's Counsel

A useful, if crude, method for ensuring a captured foe remains permanently 'out of the fight.' The Guild masters call it barbaric; I call it efficient attrition against your enemies if you can get them to yield a bit first. No fuss, no fanfare, just results.

Keywords

Damage, Healing, Information

Description

This instant-duration Latticework, costing 14 points, allows a diagnostic scan of a subject's internal state. You roll against your IQ or Diagnosis, factoring in range penalties and a -2 to -4 penalty for differing species. Success reveals internal damage like ruptures, bleeding, or fractures, and even the sex of a child. It won't identify specific poisons or diseases, but grants a +2 bonus to subsequent Poisons or Diagnosis rolls related to the subject.

Statistics

Detect (Internal Damage; Sorcery, -15%; Touch- or Vision-Based, -15%) [14].

Archmagister's Counsel

This is how you determine if a hostage is truly healthy enough for ransom, or if that suspiciously robust prisoner is faking his injuries. Don't waste time with leeches and guesswork; go straight for the truth of the Lattice.

Keywords

Buff, Damage, Healing, Melee, No-Signature, Touch

Description

This rare manipulation of the Lattice can temporarily recall a recently deceased creature, provided its physical form isn't utterly ruined (beyond 10xHP damage). The touch initiates a minute of revitalization, though the reprieve is often fleeting, leaving a 'Heart Attack' aftermath for the target. Healing and resurrection are two different threads to pluck, and this one merely splices a thin connection.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Only on living creatures, -10%; Advantage, Breath of Life, +2,100%; Aftermath, Heart Attack, -150%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Melee Attack, Reach C, Cannot Parry, -35%; No Signature, +20%; Reduced Duration, 1/3, -10%; Sorcery, -15%) [212]. Notes: “Breath of Life” is Regeneration (Very Fast; Cosmic, Works on the dead, +50%; Magical, -10%) [140] + Unkillable 1 (Cosmic, Works on the dead, +50%; Magical, -10%) [70]. This version of Cosmic means it only works on the dead – not injured living creatures – and gives one try, ever.

Archmagister's Counsel

A minute is hardly a resurrection, but it is enough time to get vital intelligence from a fallen spy or to identify the foe that struck down your champion. Choose your questions wisely, for the price is steep for both caster and revived.

Debuff, Defense, Healing, Malediction, Resisted-HT, Touch

Description

This instant-duration touch spell expunges foreign matter from a living subject. Costing 1 FP, the caster must Concentrate and successfully roll IQ vs. the subject's HT to remove the offending intrusion (e.g., poisons, diseases, embedded projectiles) from the body.

Statistics

Create Foreign Matter (Accessibility, Only inside living creatures, -10%; Destruction Only, +0%; Magical, -10%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 1, +20%; Requires IQ vs. HT roll, -10%) [36/level].

Archmagister's Counsel

Why bother with precise surgical tools or slow-acting antidotes when a Sorcerer can simply pluck the offending threads from The Lattice? It’s far more expedient for battlefield medicine or neutralizing a poisoner's craft.

Keywords

Buff, Damage, Healing, Melee, No-Signature, Persistent, Touch

Description

This elaborate manipulation of the Lattice creates a genetic copy of a subject, placing it in suspended animation. In the event of the subject's demise, their consciousness transfers to this 'backup' body. This process requires 8 hours of preparation and the subject must be touched. The original GURPS mechanics describe this as Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Clone, +180%; Extended Duration, Truly Permanent, +300%; Immediate Preparation Required, 8 hours, -90%; Melee Attack, Reach C, Cannot Parry, -35%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [46], where 'Clone' is Extra Life 1 (Copy, -20%; Magical, -10%) [18].

Archmagister's Counsel

Ensure your heir is cloned. Death is merely an inconvenience when the Lattice provides a spare. Don't let your enemies claim the throne due to a simple case of mortality.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice, requiring physical contact, instantly restores 1 FP per FP spent to cast it, strictly limited to FP lost due to dehydration. Any FP spent by the caster is also considered FP lost to dehydration, ensuring you feel the 'thirst' too. You may only cure subjects of your own or similar races. Attempting this on an unconscious subject incurs a -2 penalty to your IQ roll. Repeated successful uses on the same individual within a day impose a cumulative -3 penalty per subsequent application. A failed casting costs you 1d FP instead of the usual 1 FP.

Statistics

Healing (Accessibility, Only dehydration, -20%; Heals Fatigue Only, +0%; Magical, -10%) [21].

Archmagister's Counsel

Ensure your troops are hydrated on long marches; a parched soldier is a useless one, and this little trick keeps them moving when conventional water supplies dwindle. The 'how' they get their vitality back is far less important than the simple fact that they do.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice, requiring an IQ roll and touch, instantly cures one disease in a living subject. Success costs FP scaled to the illness's severity, while failure costs 1d FP. Subsequent attempts on the same individual become more difficult, a common frustration for fledgling healers.

Statistics

Healing (Affects Self, +50%; Disease Only, -40%; Magical, -10%; Xeno-Healing, Anything Alive, +80%) [54].

Archmagister's Counsel

This spell is best employed pre-emptively on key personnel. A healthy Lord, or a healthy general, is far more useful than one incapacitated by the ague, regardless of whether a Sorcerer or a Wizard plucks the Lattice to achieve it.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice cleanses fungal diseases from a living subject upon touch. A successful IQ roll and one second of concentration are all that’s required. Do not confuse this with a cure for every ill; it applies only to fungal afflictions.

Statistics

Healing (Accessibility, Fungal Diseases Only, -50%; Affects Self, +50%; Disease Only, -40%; Magical, -10%; Xeno-Healing, Anything Alive, +80%) [39].

Archmagister's Counsel

Your healers spend fortunes on exotic poultices for fungal rot. A simple touch, an IQ roll, and you've saved a shipment of grain or a prized hunting dog. Efficacy over expense, my lord.

Buff, Damage, Healing, No-Signature

Description

This Lattice manipulation cleanses radiation damage from a subject, allowing them to shed 10 accumulated rads per hour over a 5-hour duration. Range is 100 yards, and no casting roll is required, though you'll need to aim with Innate Attack (Gaze). It's priced at 28 points.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Cure Radiation, +80%; Extended Duration, 100x, +80%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [28]. Note: “Cure Radiation” is Regeneration (Regular; Magical, -10%; Radiation Only, -60%) [8].

Archmagister's Counsel

Radiation poisoning is a slow, messy death. While the Guild argues over the 'correct' Latin to cure it, we simply remove it. A proactive Lord will have these 'Lattice specialists' on retainer if his lands or forces might encounter such unpleasantness, rather than let his people sicken and die over 'proper' magical pedigree.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This Lattice manipulation restores 1 FP to a subject for each 1 FP spent to cast it, but only if that FP loss is due to starvation. The FP you spend casting it also counts as starvation, how convenient. You can't exceed their normal maximum FP, and you must be of the same or a 'similar' race. Casting on an unconscious target is at -2. Subsequent uses on the same subject within 24 hours incur a cumulative -3 penalty per success. Failure costs 1d FP.

Statistics

Healing (Accessibility, Only starvation, -20%; Heals Fatigue Only, +0%; Magical, -10%) [21].

Archmagister's Counsel

Starvation is the oldest weapon in a siege. This spell ensures your troops can weather it, maintaining their fighting strength when the enemy expects them to falter. A well-fed army fights better, regardless of how that sustenance was procured.

Keywords

Damage, Healing, Melee, Touch, Utility

Description

This spell painlessly ends the life of a living, willing subject. It's a precise application of mental and magical force that delivers an Affliction targeting HT, resulting in a heart attack. The cost is 40 points, and it requires a successful touch attack using DX or an unarmed combat skill. The effect is instantaneous.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Only on living willing beings, -50%; Disadvantage, Fragile (Enhanced Unnatural), +100%; Heart Attack, +300%; Melee Attack, Reach C, Cannot Parry, -35%; Sorcery, ‑15%) [40].

Archmagister's Counsel

Understand this: sometimes the most merciful act is a strategic one. While the Guild argues about 'ethos,' I focus on efficacy. Death, when swift and willing, can prevent greater suffering or compromise vital intelligence. Know when to use it, and more importantly, when to prevent it from being used against your assets.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

An immediate restorative effect, delivered via touch, that mends the physical form by granting 5d HP and staunching any bleeding. Healing your own race comes easily, though an unconscious subject imposes a -2 penalty to your casting roll. Repeated applications on the same subject within a day incur a cumulative -3 penalty, and failure will cost you 1d FP, not the usual trivial drain.

Statistics

Healing (Affects Self, +50%; Cannot restore crippled limbs, -10%; Capped, 10 FP, -5%; Injuries Only, -20%; Magical, -10%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 9, +180%) [86]. Note: The 20 HP of healing has been converted to dice per p. B269.

Archmagister's Counsel

This is less a 'healing art' and more a battlefield repair job. Keep your combat physicians well-versed in this, for a few well-placed touches can keep your best blades from bleeding out where they fall, allowing them to fight another day. Do not let sentiment lead you to overuse it on the same individual; the Lattice punishes such inefficiencies harshly.

Description

For one month, the subject's biological aging process is suspended. This is an Affliction (HT) that bestows the Unaging (Magical) advantage, with an Extended Duration of 30,000x and no magical signature. It costs 44 points and can be aimed up to 100 yards with an Innate Attack (Gaze) roll.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Halt Ageing, +140%; Extended Duration, x30,000x, +180%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [44]. Note: “Halt Ageing” is Unaging (Magical, -10%) [14].

Archmagister's Counsel

Your royal patron doesn’t need to look a day over forty, even if they're a hundred and twenty. A month of youth for 44 points? A king’s vanity is often a kingdom’s stability.

Keywords

Debuff, Defense, Healing, Malediction, No-Signature, Resisted-HT

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice causes a subject's natural regenerative processes to cease entirely for one week. They cannot recover hit points naturally, nor can they steal life from others. Magical healing, however, remains effective. This is an Affliction 1 targeting HT; it is immune to Dispel Magic, has no signature, and applies Unhealing (Total). Its duration is extended to one week and is Malediction 2.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Cosmic, Immune to Dispel Magic, +50%; Disadvantage, Unhealing (Total), +30%; Extended Duration, 3,000x, +140%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Malediction 2, +150%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, ‑15%) [48].

Archmagister's Counsel

A fine way to ensure a troublesome foe stays troublesome, regardless of how many healers their coin can buy. Natural recovery means nothing once this Lattice-work takes hold.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This Lattice manipulation allows immediate healing of 1d HP to a fungus upon physical contact. It also cures fungal diseases, requiring an IQ roll with GM-determined modifiers; some diseases (-5 or less) are immune. Casting on an unconscious fungus incurs a -2 penalty. Subsequent uses on the same subject within a day suffer a cumulative -3 penalty. Failure costs 1d FP, not 1 FP. The fungus must be alive.

Statistics

Healing (Accessibility, Fungi only, -40%; Affects Self, +50%; Cannot restore crippled limbs, ‑10%; Capped, 2 FP, ‑25%; Magical, ‑10%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 1, +20%) [26]. Note: The 4 HP of healing has been converted to dice per p. B269.

Archmagister's Counsel

While healing fungi might seem an esoteric pursuit, a healthy underground network can mean the difference between a thriving forest and barren soil, controlling resources far more effectively than any paltry wall. Do not dismiss its utility out of hand, my lord; a living weapon is always preferable to a dead one.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This spell immediately restores 1d HP to a plant upon touch. It also cures plant diseases, requiring an IQ roll with GM-determined modifiers; severe diseases (modifier -5 or less) are immune. Casting on an unconscious subject (e.g., sentient plant creatures) incurs a -2 penalty to the casting roll. Repeated use on the same subject within a day applies a cumulative -3 penalty per successful healing. Failure costs 1d FP. The spell only works on living plants.

Statistics

Healing (Accessibility, Plants only, -40%; Affects Self, +50%; Cannot restore crippled limbs, ‑10%; Capped, 2 FP, ‑25%; Magical, ‑10%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 1, +20%) [26]. Note: The 4 HP of healing has been converted to dice per p. B269.

Ensure your botanists and agricultural advisors understand this. A healthy harvest means a healthy treasury, regardless of whether it's 'sorcerous' or 'wizardly' tending the fields.

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice places a target into an 8-hour slumber upon a failed Will roll. They awaken refreshed, having benefited from accelerated natural healing as if resting comfortably for the duration. The casting requires pointing, as with an Innate Attack (Gaze), and affects targets up to 100 yards away.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Healing Slumber, +230%; Extended Duration, 300x, +100%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, x10, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sleep, +150%; Sorcery, ‑15%) [60]. Note: “Healing Slumber” is Regeneration (Regular; Magical, -10%) [23].

Archmagister's Counsel

A tired scout is a dead scout. An enemy too tired to fight is an enemy easily captured. Use this for strategic advantage, not just to re-energize your own. The Guild calls it 'restorative'; I call it a tactical asset.

Keywords

Buff, Healing, No-Signature, Utility

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice grants the subject a day's worth of superior recovery. Any rolls made to regain HP or overcome crippling injuries receive a +5 bonus to effective HT. A more potent application of this effect, costing 38 points, doubles the normal HP recovery rate on successful rolls; subjects heal 2 HP instead of the usual 1.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Healthful Rest, +50%; Extended Duration, 1,000x, +120%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [29]. Notes: “Healthful Rest” is Rapid Healing (Magical, -10%) [5]. The improved version replaces Rapid Healing (Magical, -10%) [5] with Very Rapid Healing (Magical, -10%) [14].

Archmagister's Counsel

Ensure your shock troops are always under this effect when they bed down for the night, especially after a skirmish; it will halve the time they spend in the infirmary, and a rapid return to the fray means more than any arcane guild’s fuss about 'propriety'.

Keywords

Buff, Damage, Healing, Melee, No-Signature, Touch

Description

With a touch, this manipulation of the Lattice instantly restores a lost limb or internal organ to a living being. It’s an Affliction targeting HT, with a base cost of 238 points, regenerating the organ — or the limb, if you’re pedantic about it — instantly.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, One organ at a time, -5%; Accessibility, Only on living creatures, -10%; Advantage, Instant Regeneration, +2,360%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Melee Attack, Reach C, Cannot Parry, -35%; No Signature, +20%; Reduced Duration, 1/180, -40%; Sorcery, -15%) [238]. Note: “Instant Regeneration” is Regrowth (Magical, -10%; Reduced Time 25, +500%) [236].

Archmagister's Counsel

While the Guild argues about the ethical implications of 'fixing' their failures, you can have a knight back in the saddle within moments of losing an arm. A single touch can be more powerful than a hundred healers, restoring what was lost before the patient even knows it’s gone.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice instantaneously repairs a crippled but intact limb or organ upon touch. It functions on subjects of your own race and similar races. This single attempt heals all injury responsible for the crippling. A -2 penalty applies if the subject is unconscious. Subsequent successful uses on the same individual within a day impose a cumulative -3 penalty. Failure costs 1d FP.

Statistics

Healing (Accessibility, Only to restore crippled limbs and organs, -40%; Affects Self, +50%; Capped, 5 FP, -15%; Injuries Only, -20%; Magical, -10%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 4, +80%) [44].

Archmagister's Counsel

While this 'Sorcerous Mending' can keep crucial personnel in the fight, remember its limitations; it won't regrow a limb, nor will it work if your 'healer' is already exhausted. Practicality, not flashy gestures, wins wars.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice instantaneously restores 1 FP to a subject for each 1 FP you expend, requiring physical contact. There is no limit to the FP you may spend. It is only effective on your own or similar races and cannot exceed the subject's normal maximum FP. An unconscious target imparts a -2 penalty to your casting roll, and repeated uses on the same individual within a day incur a cumulative -3 penalty per success. Failure to properly pluck this thread exacts a price of 1d FP from you.

Statistics

Healing (Heals Fatigue Only, +0%; Magical, -10%) [27].

Archmagister's Counsel

Have your 'Gifted' individuals use this to maintain the stamina of your front-line forces. A well-rested soldier fights harder than a dozen winded ones, regardless of how many spells were slung their way.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

Upon physical contact, this manipulation of The Lattice grants 1d temporary HP and immediately staunches any bleeding. The effect lasts one hour, after which the granted HP vanish. You may restore those of your own racial lineage or sufficiently similar races, at the GM’s discretion. Casting on an unconscious subject incurs a -2 penalty. Subsequent applications on the same subject within a day suffer a cumulative -3 penalty. A failed attempt extracts 1d Fatigue Points from you, rather than the standard 1 FP.

Statistics

Healing (Cannot restore crippled limbs, -10%; Capped, 2 FP, -25%; Injuries Only, -20%; Magical, -10%; Maximum Duration, 1 hour, -10%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 1, +20%) [14]. Note: The 4 HP of healing has been converted to dice per p. B269.

Archmagister's Counsel

This spell is crude, but effective for keeping a warrior on his feet just long enough to finish the fight, preventing a minor wound from becoming a fatal drain. Do not mistake temporary aid for true healing.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice neutralizes ongoing Afflictions, including those effects from Side Effect and Symptoms enhancements. An IQ roll is required, penalized by -1 for each full +50% enhancement value of the Affliction being cured. Curing blindness, for example, will inflict a -1 penalty. Your casting roll is at -2 if the subject is unconscious. If applied more than once per day to the same subject, apply a cumulative -3 penalty per successful use. Failure costs 1d FP instead of 1 FP.

Statistics

Healing (Affects Self, +50%; Affliction Only, -40%; Capped, 2 FP, ‑25%; Magical, ‑10%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 1, +20%; Xenohealing, Anything Alive, +80%) [53].

Archmagister's Counsel

While the Guild argues endlessly about 'pure' versus 'corrupt' magic for healing, this spell simply removes the unpleasantness, regardless of its origin. A king cannot lead when his captains are incapacitated by some witch's curse, can he? Use it. And ignore the prattling about 'divine' intervention; it's simply efficient Lattice-work.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice instantaneously restores 2d HP to a touched subject and halts all bleeding. It functions on your own race and similar humanoids, with a -2 penalty if the subject is unconscious. Repeated use on the same individual within a day incurs a cumulative -3 penalty per success, and failure costs a hefty 1d FP, not the usual pittance. The cost to pluck this particular thread is 45 points, paid once per healing.

Statistics

Healing (Affects Self, +50%; Cannot restore crippled limbs, -10%; Capped, 4 FP, -20%; Injuries Only, -20%; Magical, -10%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 3, +60%) [45]. Note: The 8 HP of healing has been converted to dice per p. B269.

Archmagister's Counsel

A king's champion brought low by a brigand's blade is a liability until they are back on their feet. This isn't just 'healing'; it's rapid redeployment of assets. Do not dismiss its utility simply because it doesn't involve fireballs.

Keywords

Area, Buff, Defense, Healing, Leveled, No-Signature

Description

An application of the Lattice that grants comprehensive immunity to disease for 15 hours within a 100-yard radius. The sorcerer can selectively choose which individuals or groups benefit, making them immune to new infections. Existing diseases have their symptoms suppressed, and all HT rolls are considered successful, allowing natural recovery to progress unimpeded. Casting cost is 38 points for the foundational level, with an additional 5 points per extra level. Note that a recipient’s DR, if lacking the Tough Skin limitation, imposes a penalty on the casting roll, much like range. This is why a Wizard would call it 'complex statistics,' and I call it basic common sense: thick armor, thin connection.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Mass Resist Disease, +90%; Area Effect, 2 yards, +50%; Extended Duration, 300x, +100%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Selective Area, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [38]. Notes: “Mass Resist Disease” is Immunity to Disease (Magical, -10%) [9]. Additional levels add Area Effect (+50%) [+5]. As a special effect, the DR subtracts from the casting roll rather than forcing a resistance roll.

When the plague carts roll into the capital, this is the magic that keeps your court from becoming another page in the history books about 'The Great Dying' – far more effective than any alchemical poultice or prayer.

Keywords

Buff, Damage, Healing, Melee, No-Signature, Persistent, Touch

Description

This working involves reanimating a deceased body as a zombie, then attempting to reunite the original soul with it. If the soul consents, the subject returns as a free-willed, undead individual. This costs 56 points and is truly permanent, applied via a touch attack using DX or an unarmed combat skill. Note: This specific usage of 'Cosmic' means it targets only the dead, and permits only a single attempt, ever.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Partial Resurrection, +140%; Cosmic, Works on the dead, +50%; Extended Duration, Truly Permanent, +300%; Melee Attack, Reach C, Cannot Parry, -35%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [56]. Notes: “Partial Resurrection” is Alternate Form (Zombie; Magical, -10%) [14]. This version of Cosmic means it only works on the dead – not injured living creatures – and gives one try, ever.

Archmagister's Counsel

Understand that whether your foe uses Necromancy or Sorcery to bring back their fallen, the result is the same: another sword to swing at your gates. Know that this spell, once cast, offers no second chances to recall the soul.

Description

This Persistent Healing effect, costing 36 points, allows for the complete regrowth of lost limbs and organs. While active, the caster will regenerate even significant body parts such as an ear or an entire tentacle over time. There is no casting roll; the effect is simply on or off.

Statistics

Buff, Damage, Healing, Melee, No-Signature, Persistent, Touch

Description

Your touch, delivered via a successful DX or unarmed attack, infuses a living subject with restorative energies, prompting the regrowth of a lost limb or organ. A lost ear, finger, toe, or similar appendage regrows in 1d weeks; a hand or foot in 1d+1 months; an eye, arm, or leg in 2d+2 months. This effect is permanent until the restoration is complete, and a separate casting is required for each missing part. Should the caster possess the Regeneration advantage, all body parts regrow at their natural healing rate, accelerating the process significantly.

Note: “Regeneration” is Regrowth (Magical, -10%) [36].

Archmagister's Counsel

While I appreciate a good patch-up, this is less for battlefield utility and more for restoring a champion to their former glory, ensuring they can wield that ancestral sword with both hands once more. A missing limb is a strategic weakness; this spell erases it with remarkable efficiency.

Description

This spell allows the return of a deceased creature whose body is not irrevocably annihilated (i.e., less than -10x HP damage). The subject is returned to life in a different, random body. Activation requires a touch to the corpse and targets HT, lasting for one minute. The base cost is 244 points, increasing if the new form is significantly more powerful than the original.

Notes: “Reincarnate” is Regeneration (Very Fast; Cosmic, Works on the dead, +50%) [150] + Unkillable 1 (Cosmic, Works on the dead, +50%) [75] + Alternate Form (Random template) [15 or more]. This version of Cosmic means it only works on the dead – not injured living creatures – and gives one try, ever. This spell costs 245 points for a racial template worth no more than the subject’s native racial template. A more powerful form costs 245 points plus 90% of the difference in cost between the subject’s native template and that of the potential new random form.

Archmagister's Counsel

Bringing back a vital advisor or general, even in a different form, can turn the tide of a war. Do not squander such a dramatic return on a stable boy. The Lattice is not a toy.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

This spell channels the Lattice's restorative energies into a crippled but intact limb or organ upon touch, healing all damage over one month. The affected part is unusable during this period, even if it appears healthy. This healing fails on lost limbs or body parts. You may only restore subjects of your own or similar races, as determined by the GM. The casting roll is penalized by -2 if the subject is unconscious, and a further cumulative -3 for each successful application of this spell on the same subject within a single day. Each healer gets only one attempt per crippled limb. Critical failure carries a higher cost: 1d fatigue points instead of the usual 1 FP.

Statistics

Healing (Accessibility, Only to restore crippled limbs and organs, -40%; Affects Self, +50%; Capped, 5 FP, -15%; Injuries Only, -20%; Magical, -10%; Onset, 1 month, -40%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 4, +80%) [32].

Archmagister's Counsel

Crippled soldiers are a drain; healed ones are an asset. This spell turns months of recovery into an assured return to duty, assuming your physicians can keep them alive for a month without using the limb.

Description

This Lattice manipulation temporarily restores a subject's hearing, regardless of the cause, for 30 minutes. It effectively negates Deafness but requires that no essential hearing organs are completely absent. Costs 35 points; requires a successful Innate Attack (Gaze) roll to deliver at up to 100 yards.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Eardrums must not be completely missing, -10%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Negated Disadvantage, Deafness, +200%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [35].

Archmagister's Counsel

Useful for interrogating the silenced or allowing a valuable scout a brief return to full awareness. A temporary fix, as most wizardly solutions are, but a fix nonetheless.

Buff, Healing, No-Signature

Description

This Lattice manipulation temporarily restores the subject’s sight for 30 minutes, regardless of the cause of loss, provided the eyes are not entirely absent. It costs 65 points and requires an Innate Attack (Gaze) roll to aim.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Eye must not be completely missing, -10%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Negated Disadvantage, Blindness, +500%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [65].

Archmagister's Counsel

Your scouts will be useless if they’re blind. A brief moment of clarity, courtesy of Sorcery or Wizardry, is all that’s needed to gain an advantage in the field. Don't mistake a peasant's 'divine blessing' for anything more than simple Lattice-work.

Buff, Healing, No-Signature

Description

This spell, priced at 40 points, temporarily restores a subject's speech for 30 minutes, irrespective of the cause of their muteness. It functions as an Affliction that negates the Mute disadvantage. This manipulation of the Lattice requires that the tongue and vocal cords be present, even if damaged, and has an effective range of 100 yards, requiring an Innate Attack (Gaze) roll to aim.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Tongue and vocal cords must not be completely missing, -10%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Negated Disadvantage, Mute, +250%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [40].

Archmagister's Counsel

Ensure your heralds and diplomats are never truly silenced. A well-placed 'Restore Speech' can turn a strategic capture from a liability into an intelligence asset or let a mute messenger deliver critical battle plans.

Description

When this symbol is complete, it immediately restores 1d HP to the subject and staunches any bleeding. This bypasses typical healing limitations but cannot restore crippled limbs.

Statistics

Healing (Affects Self, +50%; Cannot restore crippled limbs, -10%; Capped, 2 FP, -25%; Injuries Only, -20%; No Melee Attack Limitation, +35%; Runic Magic, +110%; Reduced Fatigue Cost 2, +40%) [84]. Note: The 4 HP of healing has been converted to dice per p. B269.

Archmagister's Counsel

Ensure your battlefield medics are trained in this simple Lattice-work. A quick rune can keep a valuable soldier, or indeed, a lord, from bleeding out over some trivial wound.

Healing, Information

Description

This Lattice manipulation reveals all sources of disease and diseased beings in the immediate vicinity, providing directional information. An improved version, costing an additional 10 points, pinpoints their exact locations.

Statistics

Detect (Disease; Cannot Analyze, -10%; Sorcery, -15%) [8]. The improved version adds Precise (+100%) [+10].

Archmagister's Counsel

Understanding where disease festers is paramount, Lord. It allows us to quarantine the infected and protect our unblemished forces, rather than waiting for the plague to claim half the regiment. Do not let some charlatan tell you this 'Sorcerous' information is any less vital than the 'Wizard's' research.

Keywords

Healing, Touch, Utility

Description

Through touch, you transfer a subject's injuries to yourself. This effect bypasses any immunities you possess. You can only heal your own race and similar races. Casting on an unconscious subject is at -2, and repeat uses on the same subject within a day incur a cumulative -3 penalty per use. Failure costs 1d FP.

Statistics

Healing (Empathic, -50%; Injuries Only, -20%; Sorcery, -15%) [6].

Archmagister's Counsel

This spell makes a medic out of any Sorcerer. Use it. A living soldier with a few wounds isn't as good as an uninjured one, but he's infinitely better than a dead one. Just ensure the Sorcerer knows when to stop, or you'll have two casualties instead of one.

Keywords

Debuff, Defense, Healing, Malediction, No-Signature, Resisted-HT

Description

This Malediction, costing 45 points and resisting with Will, forces the target's natural healing to occur at half-speed. Double the normal interval between HT rolls to regain lost HP, extending a one-day recovery to two days. Effectively, a week-long curse that ensures their wounds linger.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (HT; Cosmic, Immune to Dispel Magic, +50%; Disadvantage, Slow Healing 1, +5%; Extended Duration, 3,000x, +140%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Malediction 2, +150%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, ‑15%) [45].

Archmagister's Counsel

A fine spell for a persistent enemy. Your medical staff's skill means little when the body itself refuses to mend. A lingering injury can remove a man from the battlefield more effectively than death, and for far longer.

Keywords

Control, Damage, Defense, Healing, Missile, Obvious

Description

This spell launches a beam of mana that, upon hitting another spellcaster, immediately restores 1 Fatigue Point (FP) for every FP invested beyond the initial cost. There is no upper limit to the FP that can be spent when casting this, so even the most inept practitioners of Sorcery can keep their 'betters' in the fight, provided they connect the shot. Note that this cannot exceed the target's normal maximum FP. The Guild would call it 'energy manipulation'; I call it a quick way to keep your mages from napping mid-battle.

Statistics

Affliction 1 (Will; Based on Will, +20%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Link, +10%; Sorcery, -15%) [13] + Healing (Accessibility, Only on spellcasters, -30%; Cosmic, No die roll required, +100%; Heals Fatigue Only, -0%; Link, +10%; Magical, -10%; Ranged, +40%; Visible, -10%; Xenohealing, Anything Animate, +100%) [90].

Archmagister's Counsel

Understanding this trick is crucial, my Lord. Your own war mages can keep each other fighting longer by essentially siphoning their own reserves. More importantly, if the enemy has a caster using this, take out the 'recharge station' first. Focus fire, and their magic shield will quickly fall, all while 'the Lattice' doesn't care which side is winning.

Description

This manipulation of the Lattice rejuvenates a living subject by one year, with an innate range of 100 yards and no casting roll. However, it can only be attempted once per month on any given individual, a rather tedious limitation on an otherwise potent effect.

Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Only on living creatures, -10%; Advantage, Youth, +930%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +10%; No Signature, +20%; Nuisance, 1 attempt per month, -30%; Reduced Duration, 1/180, -40%; Sorcery, -15%) [97]. Note: “Youth” is Unaging (Age Control, Only Backwards, +10%; Magical, -10%; Reduced Time 26, +520%) [93].

Archmagister's Counsel

Aging monarchs and aging courtesans will spare no expense for this particular thread of the Lattice. Keep your liege's master of whispers aware of who uses it and for whom; this gift can buy immense loyalty, or uncover hidden weaknesses.
