Extension
The Gladiator can choose to extend the duration of any Gladiator point boosted ability by pushing his body and soul beyond its limits. This reduces the gladiator’s effective death threshold by 1 for every ability boosted with 5 associated life point damage, and extends the duration for 15 minutes. This cannot be used if the gladiator has an effective death threshold of 0.
Example: Mistral has boosted her Willpower by 2 and her Power Damage by 7 to fight some evil necromancers. However in the process of dealing with regenerating undead, 15 minutes has elapsed. Rather than lose the ability to harm the undead and run in terror, she reduces her death threshold by 2 and takes 10 life damage in order to retain the boosts for another 15 minutes.

Invisibilty
Invisibility dissipates if the caster performs any of the following actions:
Order Withdraw
While withdrawn the following are true:
The point at which the target withdraws from is miraculous and hence can be detected with skills/miracles like Rec Miracle, Power Sight etc.
Someone can cast an appropriate Dispel Miracle on Order Withdraw if they can detect the point they withdrew from (as above) or know where it is as they saw them cast it/told exactly where it happened.
Earth Withdraw
While withdrawn the following are true:
The point at which the target withdraws from is magical and hence can be detected with skills/spells like Rec Magic, Magic Sight etc.
Someone can cast an appropriate Dispel Magic on Earth Withdraw if they can detect the point they withdrew from (as above) or know where it is as they saw them cast it/told exactly where it happened.
Stasis
Note that the poison/disease still needs to be cured at its original level and it does not remove the poison/disease completely if it reduces its effective level such that the target is suffering no effects.
Concentration
In order to perform several abilities e.g. cast spells/miracles you need to be able to Concentrate.
You cannot start to Concentrate if any of the following conditions are met:
Whilst Concentrating the following conditions are true:
Concentration will automatically end if any of the following conditions are met:
Chaos Blade
If the weapon also has a protective spell running on it, then it will not be damaged/destroyed for the period of time when the protective spell is running.
Animal Leap
You can carry one and only one other person with you when performing an Animal Leap, providing you have at least Strength.
Shocking Grasp
Example: Ariel has no Strength and 1H Sword Proficiency, so does 4’s with her normal 1H sword. She casts up Shocking Grasp 39, which requires 2 hands, so she cannot be holding her sword at the time. She then has 30 seconds to release it through the sword. On releasing it, she calls “4 Shocking Grasp 9”.
If the target has 4 or more points of Dexterity the whole effect is dodged. Otherwise the whole effect takes place (even if the target was only bruised by the 4 or bounced it completely). The Shocking Grasp 9 only does Body damage (which can be prevented with Power armour as normal).
Unusable locations
If a location is on 0 or negative, you cannot use that location, but you can still use other locations. i.e. if one leg is negative and not broken, but the other leg is fine, you could hop, drag your leg etc. if one arm is negative and not broken, but the other arm is fine, you cannot wield a weapon/shield in the negative arm, but could fight/parry with the other (assuming appropriate skills).
Fracture
A Heal Wounds 14 miracle on the location will repair the Fracture, but not heal any other damage (also any healing over 14 is wasted).
Barbarian
The ability to ignore pain and keep using a location even if its Body Points drop to 0 or below, including if that location is broken. However, any location that drops to -10 is still severed or crushed.
Unusable locations
If a location is on 0 or negative, you cannot use that location, but you can still use other locations. i.e. if one leg is negative and not broken, but the other leg is fine, you could hop, drag your leg etc. if one arm is negative and not broken, but the other arm is fine, you cannot wield a weapon/shield in the negative arm, but could fight/parry with the other (assuming appropriate skills).
Fracture
A Heal Wounds 14 miracle on the location will repair the Fracture, but not heal any other damage (also any healing over 14 is wasted).
Tax
Tax should be paid after each complete groat you make (keeping a cumulative total).
Example: Archibald (a member of the Towers) sells an item for 5g7f, he pays 5f tax. He next sells an item for 2f, he pays 0f tax. He next sells an item for 1f, he pays 1f tax (since his total sales value has now reached 6g, so he needs to have paid 6f in total tax).
Spirit Guide
If the Spirit Guide is asked to intercept an attack which is purely a miraculous Power damage attack and an attached effect, then the Spirit Guide takes the effect (even if the Spirit Guide is unaffected).
The Shaman cannot borrow an ability that his Spirit Guide does not posses or for Life/Standing that would reduce the Spirit Guides maximum or current value below 0.
Fetch
If the Fetch is asked to intercept an attack which is purely a Power damage attack and an attached effect, then the Fetch takes the effect (even if the Fetch is unaffected).
The Witch Doctor cannot borrow an ability that his Fetch does not posses or for Life/Mana that would reduce the Fetches maximum or current value below 0.
The Fetch can intercept Power attacks (this does not include Enervate, Shrivel, Drain Wounds, Shocking Grasp & Mana Lace/Steal Mana).
Paladin
A Paladin’s dedicated weapon bonus CANNOT be applied to fists/claws.
Raise Dead/Resurrection
Once raised/resurrected, the character loses a Death Threshold.
Paladin
The dedicated weapon can be used by anybody and confers the same bonus. However a Paladin who gives/lends his weapon to another would be looked upon very unfavourably by the Paladins. Note that the Paladin will only receive the dedication once. If he proves himself unworthy by losing his dedicated weapon, he will not gain another without performing some extremely difficult task as atonement. When a Paladin dies his weapon should be returned to the Paladins.
There are rumours that the Paladins can perform rituals to destroy a dedicated weapon that has fallen into enemy hands or even harm the wielder.
Fetch
A Fetch’s Toughness does reduce the damage from Power damage. This stacks with its Dexterity where appropriate.
Example: A Fetch has Dexterity 2 and Toughness 1.
It is hit by a Fire Dart 4, it only takes 1 point of damage.
It is hit by a Combust 4, it only takes 2 points of damage.
If the Fetch is asked to intercept an attack, it cannot use its Dexterity or Toughness against the attack, only its Power protection (which includes the special protection granted by its Toughness).
Example: Fazer McFadden is attacked by a Combust 4. He orders his Fetch to intercept the attack. The Fetch has 1 Toughness (which can be used as Power protection), so the Fetch takes 3 damage.
Refs
Modified Battleboarder to make clear its a player.
Camouflage
Camouflage is ineffective against creatures that do not have eyes (see the ‘Sight’ Spell/Miracle Type).
Camouflage provides no protection if you are invisible as the attacker cannot see you anyway.
Darksight CANNOT see through Camouflage.
True Resurrection
True Resurrection acts like Resurrection, except that the character is returned to life on his full Life Points and Body Points (including mending broken bones) on all non-missing locations.
Shaman
The Shaman can choose the ability to borrow at the beginning of the day and immediately after Praying.
Fetch
The Fetch can intercept Power attacks (this does not include Mana Lace/Steal Mana).
Dark Entangle
An arm with a Light/Lantern spell running is automatically released from a Dark Entangle.
Extinguish
This will extinguish a natural fire up to the size of a torch or the Ignite spell.
It will not extinguish the Light/Lantern spell.

Towers
To use Primary School mage name instead of Wizard.

Retribution
Everything associated with the attack is subject to retribution i.e. Sharp/Blunt, Normal damage, Power damage, Piercing, Swift etc. except Throat Slit.
Armour
Armour worn on the head can be claimed against Throat Slit even if it does not specifically cover the neck. Chest armour does not protected against Throat Slit unless a gorget is specifically worn.
Spell Weave
Two spells to be combined must be cast by the same caster with the same vocals as the Spell Weave itself, with no gaps or interruptions.
Miracle Gift
For the duration of the miracle, the recipient can cast the miracle using his own Standing (he does not need to know, nor does he gain any prerequisites). However, for the duration of the miracle, the giver loses all knowledge of the miracle and also all knowledge of miracles which require it to be known.
Multicast/Combined Prayer
The ordering of a Multicast may be important.

Freedom 1 has the following effects:
Bind the Soul
When a Necromancer uses Bind the Soul and rises from the ‘dead’ any spells/miracles that were cast on him before he ‘died’ remain in effect.

Bless
When cast on a person, it gives the recipient 2x<n> Normal Armour and <n> Power Armour effective against all Undead attacks and additionally the Power Armour is effective against all Unholy melee/missile attacks and all Unholy spells/miracles.
Manufacture
Added manufacture times for Masterwork equipment.
Bless
Bless cannot be cast on claws, shields or other items.

During a Rage, Barbarians can activate Items and cause Subdual damage, but doing so maybe deemed poor roleplay.

Tree Druid
On joining the Druid Guild, immediately gains Innate Plant Walk. Plants will simply not deliberately impede a Tree Druid.
Innate Tree Charm 1 once/day at Guild Rank 20 and added levels for Tree Charm (for dispelling purposes etc.).
Read/Write <Path> Runes
If a character follows the Path of Nature, then he can only learn the runes associated with his Primary (and Secondary if applicable) Sect.
The following are the potential Path Runes that can be learnt:
Life, Death, Order, Chaos, Justice, Freedom, Might, Anarchy, Balance, Tree, Animal, Weather & Seasonal (Dark Druids learn Death Runes).
Note that you can likely only learn a subset of this list and additionally learning Anarchy runes requires approval from the Character Ref.
Read/Write <School> Runes
The following are the potential School Runes that can be learnt:
Fire, Water, Earth, Air, General, Light, Dark, Spellsword, Necromantic & Demonology.
Note that you can likely only learn a subset of this list and additionally learning Dark, Necromantic or Demonology runes requires approval from the Character Ref.
Illuminati
Healing Sunlight ability cannot be used at the same time as Improved Mana recovery.
Air Blast
The Life damage taken is equal to the maximum damage taken to a location.
Example: Vilnius is wearing Studded Thick Leather (giving him 3 Armour) all over his body except his head, which has a Thin Leather hat (giving him 1 Armour). He is hit by an Air Blast 10. He takes 7 damage to each location except his head, which takes 9 damage. He also takes 9 Life damage.
Location Specific Effects
For spells/miracles which are Touch and target a specific location, if that location cannot be targeted (i.e. by using a ‘Touch to Range’ Spell Adept or drinking a Potion) the spell/miracle targets the following location (or locations if the effect is intelligent) in the following priority order Chest, Left Arm, Right Arm, Left Leg, Right Leg and Head if the same value:
Example: Kane has the following Body points: Head -1, Chest 7, Left Arm 7, Right Arm -6, Left Leg 4, Right Leg 4. He is hit by a Touch to Range Shocking Grasp 4. This targets the Chest, taking it to 3.
Example: Kane has the following Body points: Head -1 (and hence bleeding), Chest 3, Left Arm 7, Right Arm -6, Left Leg 4, Right Leg 4. He drinks a potion of Heal Wounds 4. This puts his Head on 3 (Since a Heal Wounds 4 is non-intelligent it all goes to the same location). If instead he could have drunk a Heal Wounds 14 potion, this would have put his head on 3, Chest on 4 and Right Arm on 3.
Broken Locations
If a location has been set, then the next wounds healing received to that location automatically goes to fix the break, rather than heal the location.
<Path> Lace
Followers of the Path of Nature, including Dark Druids, are not affected.
Spell/Miracle Types
Added new Type ‘Sight’, applied to Blindness, Flash & Dazzle.
This spell/miracle does not work on creatures without eyes. This includes:
Holy Word
Causes <n> points of Power Life Point damage, which is effective against:
Enhance Undead
This gives an existing undead an additional <n> x 10 Character Points. These can be used to buy skills from the appropriate table or on undead powers. Note that if skills are purchased that increase the undeads Willpower, this may cause the Necromancer to lose control of it.
Fear
Note the target character is afraid of the caster, even if the caster has disguised himself or become invisible (in which case he is afraid of the general area of the caster, he is unaware of the exact position of the caster).
Spell Weave
Spell Weave allows two spells (one of level <n> and one of level <n> or less) that are usually incompatible to be combined together.
Spell Weave has the following properties:
Example: An enemy Mage casts Dispel Magic 2 on Magma’s sword, which removes the Blades Sharp 2 AND the associated Spell Weave 3 and Ice Blade 3.
Example: Magma downcasts a Spell Weave 3 (lvl 3) on his 1H sword to combine Ice Blade 3 (lvl 3) and Blade Sharp 2 (lvl 2) as a Spell Weave 2 (lvl 2) for 1 hour containing an Ice Blade 2 (lvl 2) and Blade Sharp 1 (lvl 1). His 1H sword damage call becomes “Sharp 5, Ice 2”.
Example: Magma has 11 Mana tied up in his 1H sword for an hour. During this time this Mana cannot be rested/meditated/slept back.
Recall
Recall has the following properties:
Blink
Blink has the following properties:
Life/Death Ward
If a undead/living creature (or any item they are holding) is attacked (by melee, missile or spell/miracle) over the ward, that creature alone may cross the ward.
The level of a Life/Death Ward cannot be increased with Willpower.
Time Faff
As per Time In, in that the players are now in the game world in the roles of their characters, but they should not advance further.
Generally used by GMs when they need a bit more time to set up the next encounter. IC this can represent the extra time taken to move between locations, as generally OOC things are a bit closer together than they would be in IC reality.
Armour
If the armour worn is not made of the correct material then the base value for the armour will generally be decreased. Consult the Character Ref in this instance (e.g. Plate armour made of plastic instead of metal will generally have a base value of 4 instead of 6, though the Plate Proficiency skill must still be bought).
Clear Mind
Clear Mind CANNOT remove possession.
Disarm
A character with this adept ability can disarm a character wielding a weapon (not a shield) with less skill than themselves instead of doing damage.
Consecrate Dead
Once a Consecrate Dead miracle has been cast on a dead body, it can no longer be affected by Animate Dead spells, miracles or abilities. The character can still be brought back to life using Raise Dead or Resurrection miracles or abilities (if the character is brought back to life in this fashion then the Consecrate Dead is no longer running).
Transcend Armour
Transcend Armour starts at level 1.
You must buy all preceding levels e.g. to buy Transcend Armour 2 you must have already bought Transcend Armour 1.
Manufacture Skills
The Make Superior skills require the basic Make skill to have been bought first e.g. Make Superior Heavy Armour requires Make Heavy Armour.
Gaining Experience
For GMs, the amount of MPs start with a base of half the Player base (rounded up).
There is then a pool of MPs equal to the difference between the Player base and the GM base, which can be assigned amongst the GMs as they deem fit.
For monsters, the amount of MPs start with a base of half the Player base (rounded up).
<Path> Gift
The caster cannot have any other Gift active.
Mana Gift
The caster cannot have another Mana Gift active.
Character Recycling
It is possible that you do not enjoy the new character you have created (particularly if you are new to the system). As such with permission from the Character Ref you may recycle the character if you have played 3 games or less.
When recycling a character all CPs earned for the old character are transferred to MPs for spending on your new character (likewise all MPs spent on the old character are returned). Any Danger Pay earned on games for the old character (including any spent) are transferred to the new character, with permission from the Character Ref. Any other money found or items created/found are lost.
Bladesinger
He has the choice of either 1H (including dagger) or 2H (including staff) weapon skills at half cost, including specialist skills (Subdue, Weapon Adepts, Favoured/Chosen Weapon etc.).
Castings
Added a Power type descriptor to appropriate spell/miracle descriptions (e.g. Fire Dart has Power: Fire in its description).
Elemental Protection
Power type protection can be: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Sun, Dark, Chaos, Holy, Unholy, Sap.
Only one Seasonal Enhancement can be active on the character at any time.

Scrolls
If the Standing/Mana is lost then the scroll is destroyed (e.g. if the spell/miracle is interrupted or the spell/miracle casting is stopped without spending the 5 seconds of concentration).
Temple Of Order
If a Judge causes damage (this includes Subdue, but does not include casting/overcasting damage), be it on a person (this includes Demons) or object, there is a backlash from the forces of Order to which he is strongly allied. He takes Body Point damage on all locations equal to his Guild Rank and his Death Threshold is lowered by 1 for the next 24 hours.

The time taken to Refine a spell/miracle into an instant-cast from a ritual/ceremony has been modified. Also added rules for assistance/refining a chain.
Avoiding Damage
If non-proficient in armour then half (round down) protection. Also added example showing that Armour Quality, Strength, Strengthen etc. are all halved also. If the total protection provided for lack of proficiency is equal to 0, then there is no Dexterity/Casting Penalty.
Causing Damage
If non-proficient in weapon then half (round down) damage. Also added example showing that Armour Quality, Strengthen etc. are all halved also.
Stacking Spells/Miracles
Added explanations on how stacking spells/miracles works. This explains how Fear, Dispel etc. work.

Paladin
Cure Disease. At Guild Rank 5, the Paladin gains Cure Disease 0, which increases by 1 for every 5 Guild Ranks. This curing can be divided across multiple uses. Thus a 10th Guild Rank Paladin can either use one Cure Disease 1 or two Cure Disease 0 in a day. This power is recovered after the Paladin has slept for at least 2 hours. This ability work in the same way as the Cure Disease miracle (and so can be cast down as Disease Resistance, if doing this any power active cannot be recovered).
Regenerate
One minute after the Undead is killed, it will rise up again with full Life points. Each Regenerate ability works only once, thus to create a skeleton which regenerates twice requires the regenerate ability to be chosen twice.
When an Undead Regenerates its Mana/Standing remains on what is was when it ‘died’. Also any spells/miracles that were cast on it before it ‘died’ remain in effect, unless stated otherwise (e.g. Control/Turn Undead).

Casting
A character who is in pain cannot concentrate sufficiently. Thus if any locations are unusable, broken or crushed/severed, he cannot cast/cancel spells/miracles.
Discern Disease
Allows a character to discern:
Evaluate
From a visual inspection allows the character to instantly determine whether an item is non-Normal. If the character can also touch the item they can ascertain the exact quality of an item (Ubiquitous, Common, etc.) and also estimate its monetary value to within 10%.
On an OOC basis a character with this skill can keep a list of the standard IC item prices (IC Money). A character without this skill should not keep this list (since it is not really a list but represents going round haggling/getting best prices etc.), but if they can remember the prices that is fine.
Poison & Disease
A Poison Touch or Cause Disease can be prevented by a Disruptive Aura or Spell Immunity. These both work regardless of whether the poison/disease is based on a spell/miracle. For Spell Immunity the specific poison/disease must be specified and it is always classed as a miracle.
Disruptive Aura/Spell Immunity provide no protection from contagious diseases.

Clear Mind
Clear Mind removes the effect of one offensive Mental spell/miracle cast on the target character.
Chaos Blade
Chaos Blade can be cast on any weapon, imbuing it with Chaos. The weapon causes <n> points of Power damage, but after the effect wears off the weapon becomes permanently damaged, doing 1 point less Normal base damage.
If the base damage of a weapon drops to 0, it is destroyed. A weapon damaged/destroyed by Chaos Blade can be repaired using the Mend spell/miracle. When repaired it returns to its full base damage.
Determining your Path
A character does not have a Path until he has learnt his first Miracle, Ceremony level, Consecrate Item level or Read/Write <Path> Runes. The way the character purchases this determines his Path.
Joining a Guild
Many Guilds have a requirement that you must follow a certain Path(s). You may only join that guild if you follow that Path(s) OR you have no Path.
If you have no Path then when you buy your first first Miracle, Ceremony level, Consecrate Item level or Read/Write <Path> Runes it must be bought for one of the Guilds Path(s). If you do not you will be expelled from the Guild.
Storm Hand

Bonus Life/Standing/Mana received from Guilds do not count towards threshold costs, only those bought with actual CPs count towards the threshold.
Poison Touch/Cause Disease
If a Poison Touch or Cause Disease has a non-damaging effect like Sleep/Coma or Freeze. The effect happens instantaneously and continues for the whole duration of the poison/disease. However it can be stopped by whatever condition usually breaks the spell/miracle. It will then keep happening at 1 hour intervals until the duration ends or it is cured.
Temple of Order
Overcasting does not trigger a backlash.
Items
For Bound/Attaching options ALL spells or miracles contained within it must be Bound/Attaching.
You can upgrade an item (increase spell/miracle level or add an option).
You cannot downgrade an item (lower spell/miracle level or remove an option).
Disguise
Both race & group can be done with the same casting.
Items
When used, if the item only contains Single Use effects and the last has been used, it becomes just a mundane item and must be prepared again.
Over-casting
If a character would be taken ‘below’ 0 Death Thresholds by over-casting, he cannot over-cast, UNLESS he decides to sacrifice his life and immediately dies after casting the spell/miracle. He can over-cast by any amount with the number of ‘negative’ Death Thresholds reached corresponding to the number of days before he can be resurrected (assuming he still has Death Thresholds left).

Can be bought for Fist or Claw (which includes using the Claw Hand miracle), excluding Disarm.

<School> Runes
You can only learn runes for the schools that you can potentially cast from (note you do not need to be able to cast a spell from the school, though learning your first elemental school spell/runes, means that you cannot learn the opposite schools spells/runes, similarly for Light/Dark).
Summoning a Demon

Elemental Protection
Modified this to say element or principle, so can be used to protect against death, chaos etc.
Commissioned Officer Ranks
If you purchase a commission, then you do not receive the superior (& higher) equipment bonus.
Wall of Air
Does not stop people moving through it.
Breaking Objects
A spell/miracle that destroys an object (e.g. Destroy, Rust & Warp) will destroy any standard size weapon, armour location or shield. Otherwise it will destroy any object up to 1 cubic foot in size.
Note that it will only destroy that object, if it is a distinct object, you could not Destroy just 1 cubic foot of a very large rock and hence you could not use Mass Destroy to destroy a very large rock. You could use Destroy to destroy a brick and Mass Destroy to destroy a wall, since bricks would be individual objects.
Fetches & Spirit Guides
Note that you cannot spend CPs on your Fetch/Spirit Guide until you have called your Fetch/Spirit Guide (i.e. are at least a Rank 5 Witchdoctor/Shaman and so your first 50 CPs spent must be on your character, not your Fetch/Spirit Guide).
To buy the next level of skill, costs the next level of the skill, you do not get it cheaper if the Fetch/Spirit Guide already has an earlier level of the skill for ‘free’.
Witch Doctor
The Witch Doctor can teach his Fetch spells, which the Witch Doctor can then cast using the standard rules for instant spells (i.e. use 3 words per level, have required hands free, spend the required Mana and take casting damage). Note the Witch Doctor always counts as the caster of the spell, and hence it is his Mana that is used and he takes any casting damage (not the Fetch).
Disguise
Disguise will be detected by the spells Detect Magic and Magic Sight. But you will not be able to detect that the target is specifically under a disguise (unless by Magic Divination). e.g. a human disguised as an elf, would look the same under Magic Sight as an elf with a fire skin cast up. Also if the same human disguised as an elf was also under an Invisibility, then under Dark Sight, they would look like an elf, under Magic Sight, they would look the same as an elf with a fire skin cast up.
<Path> Ward
By default wards are infinitely tall, but height can be configured by the caster if specifically required to be a certain height. Note they can go through substances, so no burrowing underneath them either (again unless specifically configured to be a certain depth).
Gale
Characters who are under a Float will always be blown back regardless of their Strength.
Coma/Sleep
The target can be awoken before the 15 minutes by any of the following methods:
Glowing Mark
For the duration of the spell, the target’s Dexterity and/or Dodge (e.g. from Displacement) bonus is reduced by <n>, to a minimum of 0.
Where the target has both Dexterity and Dodge bonus, the Dodge bonus is reduced first.
Displacement
Provides no protection against area of effect spells/miracles e.g. Flaming Hands, Fireball etc.
Ritual Circle
The ritual circle must be big enough to encompass the Casters, Components, Focuses & Sacrifices. The physical circle must be created during the ‘drawing’ time, this can be by marking a circle in the earth, using rope/branches, pouring powder etc. It must also be relatively simple to destroy, by scuffing the ground, removing the rope etc. and cannot be hidden.
Power Sight
When concentrating, the caster will be made aware of any miraculous items, active miracles and entities which he can see. This is a passive miracle. In order to see power, you must concentrate and call “Power Sight”.
Magic Sight
When concentrating, the caster will be made aware of any magic items, active spells and entities which he can see. This is a passive spell. In order to see magic, you must concentrate and call “Magic Sight”.
Discern Spiritual Influence
Allows a character to discern:
Casting Vocals
If a spell/miracle has multiple sources then the source should be included in the vocals immediately before the spell/miracle name. If the source is not stated, then the target can assume the best source for any protection they have.
Paladin
The Paladin’s dedicated weapon follows the same rules as for normal permanent items with regard to Dispel i.e. if the blessing is dispelled, it is suppressed for 15 minutes then returns.
Earth/Stone Merge & Withdraw
While withdrawn the following are true:
The caster can concentrate to end the withdraw early. Though on an OOC note they should decide on the duration of the withdraw before casting it, so cheating is avoided i.e. cancelling immediately after the area is safe.
Aspect of the Paths
Amended list to include corner path examples.
Fear
Unholy Symbol bonus can be used by Dark Druids.
Bolster Undead
Unholy Symbol bonus can be used by Dark Druids.
Armour
Now classified as Light or Heavy. With Pathfinders/Archers not being allowed to wear Heavy armour.
Mass Destroy
Area set to 10’ Radius.
Gale
The caster can move at a slow walk and turn with a Gale in effect.
Charm
The target cannot take any hostile action against the caster, but note that the target does not become a mindless slave of the caster, nor does he abandon his previous allies and friends.
Regrow
If the caster breaks any of these conditions the rate of recovery returns to normal and cannot be increased again for the remaining duration of the Regrow.
The miracle ends when one of the following conditions is met:
Gift
Allows the caster to give <n> points of Standing per minute to another person with the following restrictions:
1. The caster must touch the person, if contact is broken then the Gift ends.
2. The caster must have no Path or follow the Path of <as appropriate to Gift>.
3. The person must follow the Path of <as appropriate to Gift>.
4. If the person is a follower of the same Path as the caster, the transfer rate is doubled. N.B. The transfer rate is not doubled if the caster has no Path.
5. The person cannot gain more Standing than his normal maximum.
Work with Cabal/Conclave
Starts at level 0.
Broken Limb
If have a broken head/chest, which is set with the skill Set Broken Bone (but not 20pts of healing) you remain unconscious.
Spell Prime
When casting a Spell Prime, the spell to be primed must be cast with all associated parameters preset.
Form
The target of the form must have dedicated themselves to the specific element.
Retribution
An attack is counted as a single melee/missile attack or a single spell/miracle. Hence if an Ice Dart is subject to retribution it will affect all locations of the caster/attacker as normal. If a Shocking Grasp is subject to retribution it will affect either one or two locations, depending on where the hands were placed.
Barbarian
Instantly recognise a spell (as opposed to a miracle) when cast on him or his possessions. Note the Barbarian does not automatically know the identity of the caster.
Fetch
A character who can detect the Fetch can target them with ranged (not touch) spells, but not miracles.
Fetches are magical creatures, and so are detectable via Detect Magic, Magic Sight and Magic Divination. The Fetch (if present) can always be seen if the Witch Doctor can be seen, it cannot be hidden behind/in something for instance.
Fetch/Spirit Guide
Cannot be healed by healing spells/miracles.
Talisman/Holy Symbol
If the creator permanently dies, the item continues to be a Talisman/Holy Symbol and could theoretically be used again if they could be brought back somehow.
Targeting Spells/Miracles
Self – requires no targeting.
Touch – requires you to touch the target (person, object etc.).
Range – requires you to be able to see the target (person, object, etc.).
Mass – requires you to be able to see the centre point (person, object, point on ground etc.)
Spell Type
Elemental – There must be a physically traversable path from the caster to the target (e.g. you cannot cast a Fire Dart at someone in a sealed room from the outside).
Disruptive Aura
Disruptive Aura works in the same was as Dispel Magic/Miracle with regard to level of spell/miracle for range/mass variants.
Shocking Grasp
If cast through a weapon, it obeys the same rules as for Stacking Weapon Spells/Miracles.
Weapon Adept
Must all be attached to a damage call, except Disarm.
Magic Adept
Any Touch to Range location damage spell goes to the least injured location (like a Mass effect). When multiple attacks are done (like Shocking Grasp, which does 2 attacks, one for each hand) they are handled individually, so may go to different locations depending on injuries.
Subdue
Backstab can be added to Subdue damage.
Blade Effects and Bows
If the Blade effect is protective, then it will protect the bow and the arrow whilst in flight and if it is nocked.
Regrow
Regrow does not fix a broken location (though a Severed/Crushed location will grow back unbroken). It will still regenerate body points for that location, but the location will remain unusable.
Rituals
It is not possible to end a ritual early and cast a lower level spell/miracle.
Curse
Is effective against Metal/Wood Immunity.
Resisting Spells/Miracles with Dexterity, Toughness and Willpower
If you cannot resist a spell/miracle due to having insufficient Willpower/Toughness/Dexterity, then it does not stop running if you later get a Willpower/Toughness/Dexterity boost that would have resisted the spell/miracle.
Retribution
The following attacks can be subject to Retribution:
Everything associated with the attack is subject to retribution i.e. Sharp/Blunt, Normal damage, Power damage, Piercing, Swift etc.
Mass Heal Wounds
All Mass Heal Wound’s are intelligent.
Recall
Recall has the following properties:
The range of Recall is the shortest available route from the departure point to the recall point. This is usually a straight line, but if for instance there was a Ward in the way, the range would be the distance you would have to go around the Ward (if even possible).
Casting Recall when the prepared site is out of range causes the target(s) of the spell to be temporarily trapped in the ethereal plane, bounced about by the magical whiplash. After a few seconds, they will reappear at the departure point, unconscious for 5 minutes or until damaged.
Recall points are personal to the caster and cannot be used by others.
Favoured/Chosen Weapon
If you use Favoured/Chosen Weapon on a Bow/Crossbow then you do not need to have a strengthened Bow/Crossbow to make use of the extra base damage with strength.
Magic Adept
Speed Cast halves (round down) the total number of vocals, including any other Magic Adepts used.
Charged Items
You do not have to embed the maximum number of charges, you can embed anywhere from 1 up to the maximum number of charges. The time taken to embed the spell/miracle is the same regardless of the number of charges.
Permanent Items
Are always active (and cannot be turned off).
Potions
Using a Potion simply requires drinking it. If a Potion contains multiple doses of a single effect, then the effect can be gained by drinking a sufficient portion (that slot of the potion is then permanently consumed). If a Potion contains multiple effects, then the effects can only be gained by drinking the entire Potion (all slots of the potion are permanently consumed).
Humacti
Gain a bonus of Rank/10 to the amount of Willpower added to Turn/Destroy Undead miracles.
Wardens
If multiclassed, then they must choose either Mage or Priest Advanced Training/Bonuses, they do not get them both.
Talisman/Holy Symbol
You cannot use the same item for both.
Priests
After learning a miracle from one Principle, a Priest cannot learn another miracle from that Principle until he has learnt one from all other Principles that the Path embodies (note the actual level of the miracle is irrelevant).
Leather Proficiency
Allows you to wear thick or thin leather and Troll Skin.
Studded Leather Proficiency
Allows you to wear thick or thin studded leather and studded Troll Skin.
Extend/Extension
If the Extend/Extension is cancelled, then the original spell/miracle reverts to its original duration from the time it was first cast. Hence it may have already expired or have up to 15mins left to run.
If the original spell/miracle is cancelled, then the Extend/Extension is automatically cancelled.
Fetch
You do not have to have prerequisites stored in a Spell store.
Barbarians
If an Anarchy follower deflects a spell cast at them onto a Barbarian, the Barbarian should kill the Anarchy follower, he does not need to kill (though can if he wants) the actual caster of the spell and he may even be unaware of who actually cast it.
Upgrading Magic Items
Anyone with the requisite skills can upgrade a Magic Item, it does not need to be the original creator of the item.
Trip
You cannot Trip someone who is in the process of getting out of a Grip i.e. has just one leg free.
Grip
You can Grip someone who is suffering the effects of an Earthquake, if so you will grip their head & body (as their legs/arms are in the air).
Detect Lie
If Detect Lie is blocked from affecting the character (i.e. by Spell Immunity, Order Resistance etc.) then ‘No Effect’ should be called as usual.
Miracle/Spell Gift
Can be cast by ritual, but you cannot gift spells/miracles that you only know as rituals. Only instant-cast spells/miracles can be gifted.
Willpower Spells/Miracles
When suffering from a Willpower reducing spell/miracle, assume any enhanced Willpower from spells/miracle is reduced first. So you can still potentially boost spells/miracles with some/all of your natural Willpower.
Temple of Freedom
The half-cost bonus can be used on Enhance Mana to reduce the cost of all Mana subsequently bought.
Dexterity
If a piece of armour is destroyed (for example by a spell/miracle) then that piece of armour is not included when calculating the Dexterity Penalty.
Illuminati
It is ok to cast Light spells on people who are not members of the Illuminati.
Speak with the Dead
The creature can reply with up to one sentence long answers.
Rituals
You can cast multiple spells/miracles together that interact in some way (e.g. Extend/Extension and Spell Weave), in which case the final effect is only ready when the full ritual ends.
Causing Damage
A character can always voluntarily lower the amount of Normal damage they can do (to a minimum of 1). Power damage can never voluntarily be lowered.
Tracking
Does allow you to track invisible creatures.
Does not allow you to track incorporeal creatures.
Recognise Creature
Will not allow you to recognise invisible/incorporeal creatures unless you have the following spells/miracles/abilities running:
Displacement
Provides no protection if you are invisible.
Pathfinders
Enemy bonus provides +1 Dexterity.
Magic Pool
Only the actual caster gains the benefits of the pool cast spell.
Heat Metal
Added examples for extended Heat Metal, cancelled/dispelled Heat Metal and permanent item of Heat Metal.
Immolate
Described how this works in conjunction with Touch attack spells/miracles.
Weapon/Magic Adepts
In order to learn these you must have any prerequisites naturally, they cannot be provided by a spell/miracle. However, when using them you do not need to meet the prerequisites. Examples have been added to clarify this.
All Round Sight
Described how this works with Dexterity Penalty and Dexterity reducing spells/miracles.
Curse
Added an example of how this interacts with All Round Sight.
Throat Slit
You must have at least Dagger Proficiency to perform a Throat Slit.

Temple of Justice
Added an example of how the Temple bonus works with Detect Lie.
Discern Death
Dark Druids will not glow (unless they have an active Death miracle on them) as they follow the Path of Nature (not the Path of Death, despite knowing Death miracles).
Death Resistance
This does work against Death miracles cast by a Dark Druid.
Ignite
Causes Power damage rather than Normal damage.
Blade Sharp & Bludgeon
Cannot be used on claws.
Gale
The Gale is only in effect within the arc of the casters arms. The size of the arc can be chosen by the caster (up to 180 degrees) but cannot be varied once cast. The Gale ends when the duration expires or the caster closes his arms (in which case it cannot be restarted without re-casting the spell).
The caster can move at a slow walk with a Gale in effect.
Troll Skin
A single Troll Skin hide can only make exactly 1 helmet, 1 breastplate, 2 bracers and 2 greaves.
You only gain the benefit of 1 point of power armour if 4/6 of your body locations are covered with Troll Skin.
Regrow
You only need to touch the location to start the regrow, then it will continue on its own without continual touching.
However if you wish to increase the rate of recovery then you must concentrate and keep touching the location.
Detect Magic & Magic Sight
Will detect Talismans.
Magic Divination
Will reveal if an item is a Talisman.
Ambidexterity
A character without this skill does half base damage with the weapon in their off hand.
Magic Pool
Can only be used with instant cast spells (not rituals).
Rituals
Rituals with a range of ‘Self’ only effect the Ritual Leader.

Corrected “There is only one Commander, appointed by the King” to say Prince.
Added that a cancelled shatter still prevents the item from being repaired.
Clarified that a weakened character can use items.
Changed Poison Touch – Chaos Lace example.
Clarified that Disruptive Aura can be used to dispel mental effects on yourself. Note that this is still a personal roleplay decision whether you want to or not.

Has been clarified that it does not affect the caster.
Recall
Has been clarified that a recall spot cannot be put into items. Certain ‘wondrous’ items like Breeze’s hat may exist.
Spell Books
Have altered the wording of the rules on this. Effectively a spell caster should have a spell book recording what spells they know, vocals etc. But it is not required to be kept on your person and there are no penalties if it is not. Basically it is purely a roleplay item, if you wish to have it on you and only cast if you have it, that’s fine. If you want to keep it at home or locked in a vault somewhere, that is also fine.
Willpower
Have made it explicit in the Castings : Willpower section that only a casters own natural Willpower can be used to boost spells/miracles, not any Willpower gained from spells/miracles like Enhance Will.
Castings Updates
Two new sections having been added to the Castings section of the Player Rules:
Magic Item Prices
Magic Item prices have been updated in the ‘IC Money’ section.
Weapon/Armour Prices & Manufacturing
Weapon/Armour prices for buying and manufacturing have been updated in the ‘IC Money’ section.
Druid Changes
Elemental Sect has been removed. This is likely to be replaced by the Seasonal Sect. This will be an IC change, run as a series of druid games later in the year.
General has been removed. This has been merged into the Tree, Animal & Weather lists.
Tree has had some changes, Barkskin can now only be converted to power damage at the rate of 2:1 and the Tree Heal chain has been improved slightly.
Freedom
This has been moved from the Chaos list to the Freedom list.
Remove Slow, Paralysis etc.
This Chaos chain has been changed, with the masses removed and a Remove Grip added.
Challenge
A penalty has been added to Might followers who refuse it.
Regrow
The level and effects of this have been modified/clarified.
Armour layering ‘removal’
As previously discussed, you now do not need to specify exactly how the armour is layered. e.g. You can have just Leather Proficiency & Chain Proficiency and wear them either way around or just one layer or the other. For Combination to be effective you would need Leather Expertise & Chain Expertise.
Note, to wear 2 layers of the same type of armour you would need to buy the skill twice (this includes prof). So to wear leather on leather, you would need Leather Proficiency & Leather Proficiency. For Combination to be effective you would need Leather Expertise & Leather Expertise.
Earth Merge
Requirement “Earth Merge Other cannot be used on characters with Air as their primary School.” has been removed.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing times for armour have been changed to man-days (instead of man-weeks) per armour point per location.
Regrow
The Regrow miracle ends when 15 minutes has expired, the location is fully healed or takes any damage.
Regrow cannot be cast on a fully healed location.
Some minor rule changes have been made, which I hope no-one objects to. These should make things clearer and I have spoken to those most effected.
<Strength> Grip
The higher level spells no longer sink you into the ground in varying amounts. This was confusing and no-one could remember exactly what the effects were anyway.
<Strength> Gale
The Gust of Wind chain has been re-named Gale.
This should make it easier to remember what level of strength resists it and has been requested by numerous people. The effects/levels etc. are the same.
The point costs for “Learn Miracle” have been corrected in the rules for Half-Elf/Elf/Half-Ogre Mages & Warriors.
