Spell Explanations
Animate Dead
Type: Magic-User 5
Duration: see below
Range: see below
The creation of animated Skeletons or Zombies. It in
no way brings a creature back to life. For the number
of dead animated simply roll one die for every level
above the 8
th
the Magic-User is, thus a “Sorcerer” gets
one die or from 1-6 animated dead. Note that the
skeletons or dead bodies must be available in order to
animate them. The spell lasts until dispelled or the
animated dead are done away with.
Anti-Magic Shell
Type: Magic-User 6
Duration: 12 turns
Range: caster
A field which surrounds the Magic-User and makes
him totally impervious to all spells. It also prevents any
spells from being sent through the shell by the Magic-
User who conjured it.
Bless (reversible)
Type: Cleric 2
Duration: 6 turns
Range: see below
During any turn the prospective recipients of a Bless
spell are not in combat the Cleric may give them this
benison. A blessing raises morale by +1 and also adds
+1 to attack dice.
Charm Person
Type: Magic-User 1
Duration: see below
Range: 12″
This spell applies to all two-legged, generally mam
–
malian figures near to or less than man-size, excluding
all monsters in the “Undead” class but including
Sprites, Pixies, Nixies, Kobolds, Goblins, Orcs, Hob
–
goblins and Gnolls. If the spell is successful it will
cause the charmed entity to come completely under
the influence of the Magic-User until such time as the
“charm” is dispelled (Dispel Magic).
Charm Monster
Type: Magic-User 4
Duration: see below
Range: 12″
The counterpart of a
Charm Person
spell which is em
–
ployable against all creatures. If animals or creatures
with three or fewer Hit Dice are involved determine
how many are affected by the spell by rolling three six-
sided dice. It is otherwise identical to the
Charm Per
–
son
spell.
Clairaudience
Type: Magic-User 3
Duration: 12 turns
Range: 6″
A spell which allows the user to hear whatever lurks
behind doors or in the darkness. It can penetrate solid
rock up to about 2′ in thickness, but a thin coating of
lead will prevent its penetration. This is one of the few
spells which can be cast through a Crystal Ball.
Clairvoyance
Type: Magic-User 3
Duration: 12 turns
Range: 6″
Same as Clairaudience spell except the spell user can
visualize rather than hear.
Cloudkill
Type: Magic-User 5
Duration: 6 turns
Range: see below
This spell creates a moving, poisonous cloud of vapor
which is deadly to all creatures with less than five Hit
Dice. Movement: 6″/turn according to wind direction,
or directly away from the spell caster if there is no
wind. Dimensions: 3″ diameter. Duration: 6 turns, but
the cloud is dispelled by unusually strong winds or
trees. Note that the cloud is heavier than air, so it will
sink to the lowest possible level.
Commune
Type: Cleric 5
Duration: referee’s option
Range: caster
A spell which puts the Cleric in touch with the powers
“above” and asks for help in the form of answers to
three questions. Communing is allowed but once each
week) maximum; referee’s option as to making less
frequent). Veracity and knowledge should be near to
