A thunderclap is an excellent means of alerting or signaling allies, as well as a means of intimidation. As an intimidation device, it momentarily startle and distract everyone other than the spell caster. This provides the creator of the thunder with a bonus of +5 on his initiative, +1 to strike, parry, and dodge, and creates a Horror factor of 8 (all Characters within 30 feet 9.1 m must roll to save vs horror factor, except the mage who made the thunder).
Chameleon
Range: Self or others by touch.
Duration: Four and a half minutes (18 melees) per level of spell caster.
Saving throw: None
P.P.E. Six
This spell enables the enchanted character(s) to seemingly alter the color and pattern of his cloths and physical body, enabling him to blend into surrounding environment and disappear from sight. Movement destroys the effectiveness of this magic. The character is 90% undetectable if unmoving. 70% undetectable if moving 2 feet, (0.6 m) per melee round or slower. 20% undetectable if moving 6 feet (1.8 m) per melee round. Totally ineffective if moving any faster. This spell is effective against normal vision, see the invisible and most optic systems. A thermal-imager is likely to reveal the character, especially if he is hiding in a cold environment. However, if the air temperature or a machine he is hiding against is around the same temperature as his body temperature (within five degrees), the character is concealed even from it. Attacking someone automatically negates the effects of a chameleon spell.
Cloak of Darkness
Range: Self plus a 5 foot radius around the character.
Duration: Four minutes per level experience.
Saving throw: None
P.P.E. Six
This magic cloaks the spell caster in a field of darkness that follows him or her everywhere. The mage can see perfectly from within the darkness, but those outside the radius of magic cannot see in. At night, it renders the cloaked individual virtually invisible, although he can still be detected by infrared and /or heat sensors, thermos-imaging optics, motion detectors and similar sensor systems. Furthermore, the aura of darkness may noticeably obscure a particular part of the background/area around him. Making it obvious to visual detection, especially in daylight or when bathed in light- the magic darkness cannot be dispelled by ordinary light. Consequently, this cloaking spell is ideal in darkness for hiding, escape and setting up an ambush.
In combat, opponents who attack a character cloaked in darkness from any distance (beyond the 5 foot area of magic) are -3 to strike, unless guided by thermal-optics or similar heat based optic systems, and even then are -1 to strike. Those who step into the darkness for hand to hand combat will see their quarry without difficulty; no penalty unless they stop outside the 5 foot radius of effect.

Movement is limited to straight up and down; no horizontal motion is possible. Weight is restricted to 200lbs plus 20lbs per level of experience. Unwilling victims of the magic get a saving throw; a successful save roll means the character is not affected by the levitation and remains planted firmly on the ground.

Range: Self or by touch
Duration: one minute (4 melee rounds) per level of the spell caster.

The spell caster and anything he is wearing or carrying at the time of invocation are turned completely invisible. Any object picked up after the character has become invisible remains visible. Likewise, any item on his person that is dropped becomes visible. Neither normal nor night-vision can detect invisibility; only beings who can naturally, psionically or magically “see the invisible” are able to see an invisible person. Infrared and heat detectors can also pinpoint an invisible character.
Although the invisible character is imperceptible to the eye, he still retains physical mass. This means he cannot go through walls nor can weapons pass harmlessly through him. The character still makes noise, leaves footprints, and physical and magical contact/attacks still affect him as usual.
While invisible, the mage can talk, weave spells, walk, climb, run, open doors, carry objects, and perform other acts of physical exertion, including combat, and remain invisible. The invisibility is terminated when the magic’s duration time elapses or the mage cancels the spell. Invisible characters are -9 to be hit. If the character is cut and blood is drawn, then the penalty is reduces to -3. If cut. Only the blood is visible, and so is anything sprayed on the character. Note: Beings that turn invisible as a natural and or magical ability have simple invisibility, not superior, and may be heard, smelled, register on motion detectors, etc. Aggressive action (including combat) will NOT terminate an invisibility spell (either Simple or Superior). Characters who can see the invisible see both simple and superior invisibility.

No footprints are made, and little sound (prowls at 84%). The magic is broken only if the character makes a hostile move, or engages in combat/ attacks. At that instant, he becomes completely visible. Note: the invisible character is not ethereal and can not walk through walls; he must still use a door. The act of forcing open a door or window, picking a lock, tapping somebody, accidentally bumping somebody, or accidentally getting shot or hurt, is not considered an act of aggression or combat, so invisibility is maintained.

The blade is weightless, serves as an extension of the sorcerer, is +1 to strike and can be used to attempt to parry energy attacks (no special bonus to parry, however).
Against creatures vulnerable to light, the Lightblade inflicts double its normal damage. However, the sword inflicts no damage against those immune to light or energy, and only the spell caster can use the Lightblade he creates.

Range: 100 feet per level of experience
Duration: one melee round per level of experience
Damage: 4D6+2 M.D. per level of experience
Saving throw: Dodge
P.P.E. Thirty
This is a more powerful version of the electric arc spell, pumping more magical energy into the jolt for greater range and damage; point and shoot. +4 to strike targets within 100 feet but only +1 to strike those at greater distances.
Each lightning blast counts as one melee attack/action and is limited by the characters total number of attacks. This means a character with four attacks per melee round use up two attacks to cast the spell and fire once. This leaves two more electrical attacks that melee round, but in the next three melee rounds the mage in our example can fire up to four times (once for each of his attacks per melee round). In addition, the character ay very or combine attacks. That is to say, a sorcerer with four attacks may elect to fire once, cast another spell and draw and fire a weapon or preform a skill, and so on.
Negate magic
Range: Touch or 60 feet
Duration: Instant
Saving throw: Special (ritual magic has a greater chance of success)
P.P.E. Thirty
This incantation will instantly cancel the effects or influence of most magic. To determine whether the negation is successful or not roll a saving throw. If the roll is a successful save against the magic in place, its influence is immediately destroyed, negated, canceled. 12, 13, 14 or 15 is needed for the spell magic depending on the experience level of the mage (Usually 12 or 13 is needed), meanwhile 16 or higher to save vs ritual magic. A failed save means the negation attempt did not work.Try again if sufficient P.P.E. is available.
Negation will not work against possession, exorcism, constrain being, banishment, talisman, amulet, enchanted objects, symbols/circles of protection (or magically drawn circles of any kind), wards, summoning magic, Zombies, Golems, Restoration, magical healings or cures. Negation Can be attempted to cancel a spell curs, but only has a 01-24% possibility of succeeding. Of course it has no effect against psychic abilities.

Duration: Instant
Saving throw: 1D4 M.D. per level plus Knockdown.
P.P.E. Forty-Five
This powerful offensive spell creates a circular shock-wave that emanates from the spell caster in the air in all directions. Only those touching the spell caster are not affected. The shockwave inflicts Mega-Damage. The exact amount of damage can be regulated in increments of 1D4 M.D. ( i.e. a 5th level mage can create a 5D4 shockwave, but may elect to create only a 1D4 shockwave, or 2D4, and so on). S.D.C. objects are shattered as if struck by a tornado force. Likewise, the spell caster can adjust the radius of the area affected by five foot increments.
In addition to the damage inflicted to everything in the radius of affect, those caught in the shockwave are likely to be knocked down (roll percentile dice).
People and animals (and objects) weighing less than 500lbs are likely (01-88%) to be knocked off their feet hurled 3D4 yards/meters. Only a percentile roll of 89-00% (defenders always win ties) sees them keep their balance without the knockdown penalty, but they suffer full damage.
Creatures and characters(giants, cyborgs, robots, etc,) weighing 501-1000 lbs have a 01-50% chance of being knocked off their feet and knocked 1D4 yards/meters.
Creatures and characters weighing up to one ton have a 01-20% chance of being knocked off their feet and too the ground – knocked only a few feet back.
Flying characters are hurled through the air at twice the distance, but do not get knocked to the ground, although they still suffer the penalties from the impact of the shockwave and disorientation. G.M.s can also have them slammed into walls, trees, etc., for an additional 1D4 M.D.
Knockdown Penalties: Those who fail to keep their balance are hurled through the air and knocked to the ground. There is a 01-40% chance of dropping anything they are holding, plus the character loses initiative and two melee attacks/actions. Only the spell caster and those touching him are unaffected by the shockwave. Note: Those with Acrobatics, gymnastics or other skill abilities involving “balance” are +10% to save vs knocked down. Likewise, a character who makes a successful roll with fall or impact (14 or higher) takes half damage but still suffers full penalties.
Speed of the snail
Range: 60 feet
Duration: 2 melees per level of spell caster
Saving Throw: Standard
P.P.E. Fifty

Duration: One melee round per level of experience.
Saving throw: None
P.P.E. Eighty
This spell transforms the practitioner of magic or one person into a powerful giant. The character will grow an additional ten feet tall and ripples with muscle. Any armor or clothing will be shredded by this transformation, but is hardly necessary. While the enchanted character gains great physical power, if a sorcerer, he or she loses the ability to draw on P.P.E. for the duration of the spell. Thus, the character must rely purely on physical power to defeat opponents. Any protective spells that create form-fitting armor or similar effects are negated at the time of transformation, but another mage could cast such a spell upon the giant afterward. When the spell wears off, the character is returned to his or her normal state. Note: Can not be used on automatons, robots, power armor, vehicles or any inorganic construct, nor any greater supernatural beings.
Bonuses:
Hit points and S.D.C. are increased x3 and become M.D.C.! If an M.D. creature to begin with, double the M.D.C. of the character.

This spell creates a dimensional rift in the fabric of space allowing the spell caster to use it in the following ways:
Pass through solid walls. The mage has but to weave the spell targeting a particular, blocked area, the area will shimmer bright and suddenly, a portal or passage will appear as if cut out of the very stone. The portal can create a 12 foot deep passage per each level of the spell caster in any substance.
Teleportation: the portal can be a doorway to a near-by location known to the spell caser, flawlessly traveling hundreds of feet in an instant. The portal can be placed on a vertical wall, the floor or ceiling. Looking into it reveals what is on the other side. Stepping through it will instantly place the character in that location. Range is a meager 100 feet per level of experience. The number of how many people can pass through will depend upon how quick they are moving and how long the mage keeps it open; he can close it at any time. Figure 1D6+6 can pass through melee round.
One-way Passage. Once a character steps through a Mystic Portal, the opening behind him is gone (although people on the portal side can see both the portal and the person who just stepped through it). To return, a new portal must be made on the other side by invoking another Mystic Portal spell. When the spell duration ends, the Mystic Portal vanishes at will. A negate magic may also eliminate it if the spell is successful.
Note: a Mystic Portal can NOT be cast on people to use as a teleport spell. Mystic portals must be cast on a vertical, stationary surface. An impenetrable wall of force will stop a Mystic Portal.

This spell causes an area of the ground to rumble, tremble, and crack, as well as spew forth clouds of sulfur and gouts of fire. All beings in the area of effect find it difficult to move atop the moving earth any faster than 10% their normal speed (crawling may be better), and eyes will burn and tear from the sulfuric gas. It is difficult to breathe (roughly same as tear gas; -9 to strike, parry, and dodge, -5 on initiative, lose one melee action per round) and those caught in the erupting turmoil must dodge jets of flame shooting up from the ground (roll once per character, per melee round). A failed dodge means getting hit by the shooting flame and taking 5D6 M.D. Large vehicles and giant robots (20 feet or bigger) take triple damage. It should take most people 2D4 melee rounds to escape. When magic is over, the area will look unscathed, as if nothing happened, except for the burnt and injured people, animals and property,
