The Evil Eye

Effects cast through The Evil Eye tunnel can be up to one magnitude greater than the magnitude of The Evil Eye spell.

The Master's Message

ReVi Gen

R: Touch, D: Moon, T: Individual

This spell opens a tunnel between the magus and a character that he touches.

Once it is cast, the tunnel remains in place, even if the characters break contact. The purpose of this spell is to enable the magus to open a tunnel between himself and a grog. The grog can then depart on a mission, and the magus is able to monitor his progress and cast spells through the tunnel as required.

Even if the grog character has no Magic Resistance, it is a good idea to record the Penetration of this spell, as the grog may try to pass through a hostile Aegis.

Effects cast through The Master's Message tunnel can be up to one magnitude greater than the magnitude of The Master's Message spell.

(Base effect, +1 Touch, +3 Moon)
