When hit with a 1st Tier spell, the individual must simply call "ward" and the 1st Tier spell is stopped and the ward is consumed. Touch cast spells bypass a magical ward, provided the target of the spell is conscious and wishes for the spell to affect them. Bear in mind that wards block beneficial spells as readily as malefic ones. This spell lasts till used or SR/SS. Magical Ward overwrites Minor Magical Ward, leaving the subject affected only by the higher level spell. Stabilize Type: Battle Duration: Instant Mana: 1 Range: Packet Casting Time: Instant Area of Effect: Target When cast, the mage can stabilize someone that is bleeding out.

Sense Magical Nature Type: Battle Duration: 1 minute Mana: 2 Range: 5 feet Casting Time: Instant Area of Effect: Target Upon casting this spell, the mage can tell whether someone has the ability to use magic in any form. They can tell if a person is a novice, initiate (persons with 3rd or higher tier read as initiates to this spell), or wild mage. They can also detect if someone is an adept as well. This spell does not allow someone to detect if a person can use empathy or not. They cannot tell what kinds of magical abilities or spells a person has. The caster has 1 minute to ask any question regarding the information above. Sharpness 1* Type: Enchantment Duration: SR/SS (D) Mana: 2 Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 minute Area of Effect: Item This spell will give a weapon an additional +1 to damage and stacks with strength effects and strikes. This lasts until SR/SS or until the weapon successfully strikes an object capable of taking damage from a weapon hit (i.e. a person, armor, etc.) Shield Guard Type: Enchantment Duration: SR/SS (D) Mana: 2 Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 minute Area of Effect: Individual When cast, this spell will prevent the target from dropping her shield.

Weapon Meld Type: Ritual Duration: Permanent Mana: 2 Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 minutes Area of Effect: Superior Quality Weapon Unlike other mages, a battle mage must perform two rituals to create a focus. After casting the create focus spell from 1st tier, a battle mage must cast this ritual. The battle mage must defeat an opponent with the weapon after completing the ritual to finalize it. Thereafter, the weapon is attuned to the Battle Mage and gains several abilities. First, a melded weapon may resist destruction once per day. Second, the melded weapon may serve as the storage medium for any battle magic spell with an asterisk after its name. The battle mage casts these enchantments on the blade, allowing the battle mage to use them as spell strikes at a later time (sharpness spells are not delivered as spell strikes, as the battle mage simply calls the extra damage on that swing). A battle mage can store a number of these spells in the weapon equal to his or her tier in battle magic and multiples of the same spell may be stored. They are not discharged until the battle mage chooses to use them, but they fade away at SR/SS. Henceforth, the battle mage must be in contact with the weapon to cast a spell and cannot meld with another weapon until the one they were melded with is destroyed or disenchanted. Out of necessity, this is typically the first spell battle mages learn upon reaching 2nd tier. Tier 3 Destroy Shield * Type: Enchantment Duration: SR/SS (D) Mana: 3 Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 minute Area of Effect: Item This spell will give the weapon a shield destruction effect. The battle mage must hit the shield in order to destroy it. The shield will be completely destroyed. This spell will last until used or SR/SS. Double Weapon Meld Type: Ritual Duration: Permanent Mana: 3 Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 minutes Area of Effect: Superior Quality Weapon This ritual allows the battle mage to bond with a second superior quality weapon. This second weapon functions in a similar fashion to the first melded weapon, but it can only hold ½ (round down) of the Battle Mage's tier in enchantments. This secondary weapon will not serve as a focus. Harden Armor 1 Type: Enchantment Duration: SR/SS (D) Mana: 3 Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 minute Area of Effect: Item This spell will increase the AV of any metal armor by 1. This will not work for leather, cloth, or padded armor. This extra armor point is the first armor lost and the armor cannot be refitted to the modified value. This lasts until SR/SS or until used. Reforge Type: Battle Duration: Instant Mana: 3 Range: Touch Casting Time: Instant Area of Effect: Armor This spell will instantly repair any metal armor to its original strength. This spell cannot repair destroyed armor. For instance, if a 5 AV suit of armor was breached and refitted twice (leaving it at 3 AV) and had this spell cast on it, the armor would return to 5 AV. This spell also restores a lost threshold. Sharpness 2 * Type: Enchantment Duration: SR/SS (D) Mana: 3 Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 minute Area of Effect: Item As sharpness 1, but this spell adds 2 points of damage. Sharpness spells do not stack. Weapon Resist Type: Enchantment Duration: SR/SS (D) Mana: 3 Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 minute Area of Effect: Item This spell will protect a weapon from an attack that would destroy it. The person must call "resist" when the weapon is hit with a destruction effect. This will stack with the granted resistance a melded weapon has. This effect lasts until used or SR/SS. Geomancy Magic Spells: Initiate (Tier 2) Accelerate Healing Type: Battle Duration: Instant Mana: 2 Range: Touch Casting Time: Instant Area of Effect: Target When cast, this will stabilize a wounded person. They will no longer bleed out and can be safely moved. It takes one hour for a person that has be accelerated to completely heal.

Breathe Water Type: Battle Duration: 10 minutes Mana: 2 Range: Touch Casting Time: Instant Area of Effect: Target When cast, this spell allows a person to breathe water for ten minutes. A submerged individual may not run. A person under the effects of this spell and underwater can fight or activate abilities, but may not cast spells. Missile weapons do not work underwater. Enchant Staff Type: Ritual Duration: SR/SS (D) Mana: 2 Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 minutes Area of Effect: Staff With this spell, a geomancer may form a symbiotic link with a staff. Once per day, the geomancer may divert into the staff a poison or disease that would affect her, so long as she is grasping the staff when the attack strikes her. Alternatively, she may choose to divert into herself a destruction effect targeting the staff, provided she is holding the staff when it is targeted by the effect. As the mage may not be destroyed and the staff has no immune system to compromise, these effects are resisted. To resist either type of effect, the player must deliver the call "resist." This spell lasts until SR/SS or until either type of effect is resisted. This spell only functions on a staff wielded by the caster and confers no proficiency with the use of the staff in combat. Plant Aura Type: Enchantment Duration: SR/SS (D) Mana: 2 Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 minute Area of Effect: Target When cast, this spell will protect the recipient for up to 2 points of damage.

The target can not move that foot until the caster releases them, leaves their line of sight, or they break out of the stone foot. A person may break out of the stone foot if they have enhanced strength, but this deals one wound to the right leg. This damage may be taken on an aura or endurance. In order to do this they must announce loudly and slowly "breaking free," taking at least three seconds to complete. The target may defend herself, cast spells, and activate abilities while the foot is encased. She may pivot around on the right foot but may not run or move from that spot. Swamp Light Type: Enchantment Duration: SR/SS (D) Mana: 2 Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 minute Area of Effect: Special When cast, this will generate a softly glowing light.

The target cannot cast spells, run, walk, attack, defend themselves, or talk, but they may activate any abilities they have. This spell ends if the caster releases the target or breaks LOS. Also, the target may be cut out of the roots and vines. This must be done by saying loudly and slowly, "cutting person free," taking at least three seconds to complete. A person may also break out of the Entangle if they have enhanced strength, but this deals one wound to the torso. The damage can be taken on an aura or endurance. Green Wood Type: Enchantment Duration: SR/SS (D) Mana: 3 Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 minute Area of Effect: Wood Weapon When cast, this spell grows thorns on the end of a wooden weapon. These thorns will deal up to two extra points of damage from that weapon. The wielder can choose to use both points at once or one at a time.
