The Protesting Adversary Held Still

ReCo 20

R: Voice, D: Conc, T: Ind

The affected target is held fast and still for as long as the caster concentrates. Being held means that the target is unable to move his body, including his limbs, fingers, eyes, and lips. A magus who tries to cast spells while under the effect of this spell is likely to be subject to a penalty to his casting total, unless the intended magical effect does not require words and gestures (ArM5, page 83).

In Tolides' version of this spell, small ripples of darkness quiver over the body of the target that seem to function as ropes, holding his victim in place.

(Base 5, +2 Voice, +1 Conc)

R: Voice, D: Mom, T: Group

Black, oily tears appear in the eyes of all individuals of the affected Group, burning and blurring their vision. With their eyesight blurred, and all sources of light reduced to unrecognizable sparkles, affected targets are considerably hindered while performing actions that depend on eyesight. They are subject to a –3 penalty to all rolls that involve sight (see Poor Eyesight Flaw, ArM5, page 58). If left to themselves, the victims' blurred vision heals as a Light Wound.

R: Touch, D: Ring, T: Circle

This practical spell expels the warmth from all items that have been set up inside the affected Circle. Lowering the temperature of the Circle to slightly above freezing, Banishment of Warmth can be used to prevent goods related to Animal, Herbam, or Corpus from decaying naturally for a couple of days. The spell is not designed as an offensive weapon, but living creatures that remain in the Circle for an extended period of time do start losing Fatigue due to the cold. Note that the spell must be cast after the targets have been set up inside the Circle; it does not affect items that are placed into the Circle once the spell has been cast. A closer look at the enchanted Circle reveals a translucent waft of vapor over the affected area.

(Base 4, +1 Touch, +2 Ring, free cosmetic effect)
