Hengkot Kingsbane

Spells

 

 

Analyse Magic

 

Divine, 1 point, stackable, touch, instant.

1 use (Lhankor Mhy).

 

This spell gives a true statement of at least one function of one magical item, entity, or substance. If more than one point is cast at a time, more than one truth is discovered. The spells must be cast simultaneously, or the same truths are repeated.

 

Charisma

 

Divine, 1 point, non-stackable, temporal.

All (1 use, Eurmal).

 

This spell doubles the basic APP of the target. Now matter how high APP goes, the target remains recognisable. (RQ)

 

Dark Walk

 

Divine, Heroquest, 1 point, ranged, non-stackable, temporal.                              

 

This spell allows the user to be totally invisible and soundless in darkness and shadow to anyone within range. (RQ)

 

Face Chaos

 

Divine, 1 point, non-stackable, ranged, temporal. 

1use (Urox).                                                                                                   

 

This spell cannot be resisted and can be cast only on non-chaotic targets. When cast upon a single fighter, that person stands his ground and fights any chaotic foe he faces, even if ordinarily he would have run. In general, this spell is used on outsiders since Storm Bull cultists stand against chaos regardless of fear.
This spell does not render its target immune to the effects of such spells as Demoralize or Panic, though he still will not flee. A Demoralized fighter continues fighting, though at half attack chances; a panicked fighter cannot fight at all, but does not flee; etc. (RQ)

 

Fight Chaos

 

Divine, 1 point, temporal, touch, non-stackable.                                               

 

This spell increases the recipients combat skills to 150% of their current value when fighting Chaos creatures. (P)

Great Parry
 
Divine, Heroquest, 3 points, self, non-stackable, temporal.

It is personalised to the caster, and only they may open the door (or whatever) as many times as desired and, when it is closed, the Lock will work again. This spell cannont be extended, or removed by magic. If the Lock’s STr is overcome with brute force, and later closed again, the Lock will work again. (RQ)
