Light

An item you touch glows with arcane light, about as bright as a torch. It gives off no heat or sound and requires no fuel, but it is
otherwise like a mundane torch. You have complete control of the color of the flame. The spell lasts as long as it is in your presence.

Unseen Servant (Ongoing)


You conjure a simple invisible construct that can do nothing but carry items. It has load 3 and carries anything you hand to it. It
cannot pick up items on its own and can only carry those you give to it. Items carried by an unseen servant appear to float in the air a
few paces behind you. An unseen servant that takes damage or leaves your presence is immediately dispelled, dropping any items it
carried. Otherwise the unseen servant serves you until you end the spell.

Contact Spirits
Name the spirit you wish to contact (or leave it to the GM). You pull that creature through the planes, just close enough to speak to
you. It is bound to answer any one question you ask to the best of its ability.

Detect Magic
For a brief period you are attuned to any magic nearby. The GM will tell you what is Magical, and its potential properties.

Invisibility
Touch an ally: nobody can see them. They’re invisible! The spell persists until the target attacks or you dismiss the effect. While the
spell is ongoing you can’t cast a spell.

You Form a telepathic bond with a single person you touch, enabling you to converse with that person through your thoughts. You
can only have one telepathic bond at a time. The spell ends when you or the other person sleeps. While this spell is ongoing you take
-1 to Cast a Spell.

Charm
A creature you touch is bewitched into treating you as a trusted friend for about an hour, and you take +1 Forward with them for as
long as the spell lasts. Once the spell ends, they know full well the effects of your magic.
Magic Missile
Projectiles of pure magic spring from your fingers. Deal 2d4 damage to one target.

The symbols, patterns and sounds of any written language become understandable to you while this spell is active, though you may
not speak or write them yourself. While the spell is ongoing you take –1 to Cast a Spell.

Stick (Ongoing)
Point at an object – it becomes stuck to whatever it’s touching, and cannot be separated without damaging it or the thing it’s stuck to
(whichever is more fragile). The spell lasts until you dismiss it or cast another spell.

which point the object will quickly melt unless kept in very cold conditions.

anything in your immediate presence will likely take 1d6 damage and be staggered by the sheer volume.

You can control flames up to the size of a campfire, making them grow, shrink, brighten, dim, change colour, or change shape at your
command. The spell lasts until you cast another spell, or the fire goes out.

Cast this spell and gaze into a reflective surface to see into the depths of time. The GM will reveal the details of a grim portent to
you—a bleak event that will come to pass without your intervention. They’ll tell you something useful about how you can interfere with
the grim portent’s dark outcomes. Rare is the portent that claims “You’ll live happily ever after.” Sorry.

Immunity (ONGOING)

Sorcerer moves.

you take -1 to Cast a Spell.

For a short while, nearby light sources are extinguished by a magical darkness. It spreads behind corners and fills holes, and is

Cast a Spell.

will likely drown shortly after that. The sphere lasts until you make (or are forced to make) another move.

within the bubble you may make any one move, as long as you do not affect a target outside the bubble.
