Please don’t tell me you’re about to try casting a Teleport under water!
You don’t know enough about the element of water for that!

“To be able to cast this spell, I need the body in front of me”, says [Hero] and grasps the dwarf’s leg. Suddenly, the rocks start to move, the leg turns sideways, some of the rocks slide down, and between the pieces of stone, the pale face of an undead dwarf appears.

[Hero] begins - preparations. [Hero] draws a pentagram on the floor and falls into the stillness that comes with utter concentration.
Suddenly, light shadows creep from below the rocks like whisps of fog. They come together within the pentagram and disappear through fissures in the rough ground. Crashing loudly, several rocks tumble down. The dwarf’s legs have turned to dust.
The dwarves have been delivered from their bitter fate.

The moment [Hero] touches the leg and starts concentrating on the spell, the leg flexes and some rocks tumble down. “That’s odd,” [Hero] muses “I haven’t done anything yet.”
Suddenly, the pale figure of an undead dwarf rises from the rocks.

For a second there, it seemed the lock was going to open, but the closure spell seems to be too strong after all.

The lock actually opens and the lid slides back.

“That chest appears to be locked with a strong “Claudibus Clavistibor”.
The only way to open it is with a “Foramen Foraminor”, but I doubt I have the necessary astral power,” [Hero] states with some regret.

“That chest appears to be locked with a strong “Claudibus Clavistibor”.
The only way to open it is with a “Foramen Foraminor”. It will take an immense amount of astral power to do so, but I should be able to force the lid open,” boasts [Hero].

The chest lights up with a stark red glare.
[Hero] assumes a mighty locking spell has been cast over it.

[Hero] puts 1 forehead on the lid of the chest and concentrates.
The chest is filled with various healing herbs and potions.

[Hero] puts both hands on the dog’s ears, right where [Hero] suspects the door lock to be, and casts the spell.
% spell energy dissipates without any recognizable effect on the door.

[Hero] concentrates on the door with all - might. [Hero] finds out that there are several different spells bound inside it.

Just as [Hero] expected, the door glows with a strong red light, when [Hero] stares at it. Presumably, there is one extremely strong or several lesser spells on that door.

Part of the door melts and starts to flow down, but as if by magic, and indeed, that must be the cause of it, the material reforms. In the end, the door looks the same as before.

[Hero] gazes at the vial in the dead magician’s pocket with for quite a while, until it suddenly shakes a bit, rises from the pocket and floats across the floor towards,.

You cannot cast this spell on yourself.

[Hero] has been released from the curse on,.

How many Astral Points will [Hero] embue the protective screen with?

Ahem, sorry, but f is not an illusion!

[Hero] is no longer petrified.

Okay, maybe [Hero] is behaving a bit strangely, but [Hero] is not acting under the influence of magic.

f is rooted to the spot.

Protective screen is now active.

f has no powers of reasoning!

f has been calmed and won’t attack any more.

f has been bewitched and will continue the fight on your side.

f is not an animal.

f flees in a state of utter panic.

f falls into a deep and dreamless sleep.

f is dancing around the place like crazy.

Excuse me, f isn’t dead yet, you know.

f returns from the dead to fight for you as a zombie.

[Hero] has been magically accelerated!

This spell can only be cast inside a dungeon!

How many LP will [Hero] try to give back to!.?

[Hero] cannot healhis-/herself with Witch’s Spit.

What’s that supposed to do? [Hero] hasn’t been poisoned.

The poison in [Hero]’s system is neutralized.

How many Astral Points (at least 7) will [Hero] invest this healing spell with?

New worlds seem to open up for 2.

This crystal ball defends against all domination magic.

The spell EXPOSAMI is bound inside this headband.

You can open any door with a key of dwarvish gold.

Any healing attempt on [Hero] will fail!

This has no effect on magic creatures!

Really, this is neither the time nor the place to call on the disciples of Boron.

[Hero] can hear![Hero]’s voice clearly from the Halls of Boron:
“”.

Often, the true enemy isn’t the one standing in front of you!

Since they arose to fight, the orcs are the scourge of the Northlands - but there is a far greater danger developing in seclusion.

Mighty indeed are the allies, but even such as they cannot stand alone against the evil and hope to triumph.

The dark master’s wand banishes the POWER.

Deep inside the earth the Writings of Darkness lurk.

Moonlight kills the Feylamia.

The mutable servant is mightier than his master.

The mask of the deceased shows the servant of Boron.

Those who break the law escape to where they’re not seen.

Dark is their coat, but light their nature.

[Hero] will regenerate much better over the next 24 hours.

“I can’t see anything noteworthy!”

[Hero] sinks into meditation -

“It’s meant to defend against Ignifaxus, I’d say.
I’m fairly certain about it, actually.”

“I’m sorry, but I really can’t tell which spell was used here!”

“Fascinating… a ring of protection… increases magic resistance powers… very popular with Thorwalians.”

“This headband is definitely of elvish manufacture.
Oh yes, there is also a armor enchantment inside it.”

“This sabre is especially useful against zombies, skeletons, and mumies.”

“This amulet contains the witch spell Fire’s Bane.
Every time its wearer would normally take damage from fire, the amulet absorbs a large part of it.”

“This amulet contains the spell Fiat Lux!
Whoever owns it need not worry about torches or oil lamps for a while.”

“This amulet contains a spell that makes the wearer impervious to hunger or thirst. I can’t quite make out the exact nature of the spell, though.”

“I get the impression this weapon is unbreakable.”

“Appears to me, this is a good protection against undead.”

“I would say, this spear has power over arachnids.”

“Hello! This headband contains a permanent Arcano Psychostabilis!”

“An excellent weapon this!”

“I see. The blacksmith increased this weapon’s momentum at the price of making it harder to handle.
This needs someone with experience.”

“This short sword would appear to improve the user’s attack.”

“Hmm. Well, I’d say this is a druidic artifact showing the way to certain herbs. But I’m not entirely positive about it.”

“Quite obviously an amulet of protection, especially useful against combat spells and transformations.”

“I can’t find any magic.”

“I can’t recognize the exact spell, but it seems to have something to do with weight.
You know, this chainmail seems quite light for such a robust piece of workmanship.”

“This belt gives its wearer immense strength.”

“I’d expect this sword to be especially useful against the undead.”

“This piece of armor seems to be able to sense undead attackers. But I couldn’t say what happens when it does.”

“This appears to be some kind of cure for sickness.”

“This piece of jewelry protects the wearer against magical flames; at least for a while it does.”

“You ask me, this throwing dagger makes targeting with it very easy.”

“This crystal ball will help you notice looming dangers in time.”

Whatever you hoped to do with this spell, it’s of no use on a dead body!

f has been magically treated!

No, f is not magical!

[Hero] melts into the background and becomes harder to see as long as [Hero] doesn’t move.

Suddenly, there seems to another. there.
That should give the opposition something to think about!

f is blinded.

[Hero] is blinded.

How many combat rounds do you want the spell effect to last ( max.)?

[Hero]’s shadow comes alive and supports, in fighting for [N]combat rounds.

I’m curious: exactly how were you going to break a non-existent weapon?

You may not have noticed, but that weapon is already broken!

f will have to fight barehanded now!

[Hero]’s [Hero] broke!

What level for the fire lance ( max.)?

[Hero]’s attack is reduced by 3 points!

The [Hero]’s attack is reduced by 3 points!

[Hero] turns into a real fighting machine for [N]combat rounds.

[Hero] will hit faraway targets much better now.

[Hero]’s magic resistance rises by 2 points.

Increase armor class by how many points ( max.)?

[Hero]’s armor class goes up.

[Hero]’s goes up 2 points!

[Hero] takes less damage from magical fire!

f has been turned into stone!

f has just turned into a toadstool!

How many turns do you want [Hero] to be invisible?

[Hero] becomes invisible, i.e. [Hero] avoids all fights!

Darkness falls all around.

And there was light!

Cats couldn’t sneak around more silently than this party now.

Allow me to remind you that this spell cannot be used on the person casting it.

[Hero]’s has already been increased magically and cannot be upped any further!

f is no longer petrified.

[Hero] no longer attacks.

[Hero] has been bewitched and is going to attack the party now!

[Hero] is fleeing in a state of utter panic!

Heal how many lost Life Points?

Not enough Astral Points for that, I’m afraid.

Sorry, the spell failed!

Estimate the value of which item?

[Hero] looks thoughtful:
“I’d say, we might be able to get for r.”

[Hero] looks thoughtful:
“I’m flabbergasted!
I really have no idea.”

The domination spell dissipates without any effect on.!

Quite obviously, this ring protects against all kinds of fire!

This amulet reflects spells.

This armband reduces acrophobia!

This armband raises charisma!

“It’s magical all right, definitely magical, but that’s all I can say.”

“Quite obviously magical!”

This belt definitely reduces fear of the dead.

You can drink as much as you want from this waterskin without emptying it.

You can take as many portions of bread from this pouch as you want, it’ll always stay full.

This flask of wine will never run empty.

A true masterpiece.
This bow is extremely accurate.

A true masterpiece.
A sword far beyond any others.

Uh oh, this helmet lowers the wearer’s charisma.

Under certain circumstances, this piece of leather appears to protect its wearer against fire.

No, f are not magical!

“Using this ring is equivalent to casting an Ignifaxus spell!”

“A truly remarkable piece!
Unbreakable and easier to handle than a normal mace.”

Just in case you didn’t know: skeletons are immune to that!

f is confused, and it shows.

I’m sure you mean well, but this spell is wasted on a dead body. Trust me!

[Hero] doesn’t actually need healing, you know!

[Hero] is healed.

[Hero] is not capable of casting any spells right now.

[Hero] doesn’t know this spell well enough to cast it!

That spell actually has no effect whatsoever on a skeleton.

How many Astral Points is [Hero] going to steal from!. ([N]-[N]%)?

I honestly see no cause to force a mere conversation partner to do anything here!

You’re joking, right?!
Banishing Spirits isn’t going to help us one iota here.

How many paces in radius for the field of weightlessness?
(At the moment, [Hero] could manage up to [N]paces.)

How many paces for the rainbow bridge to span?
(Currently, [Hero] would be able to manage up to [N]paces.)

Excuse me, I don’t see anything around here it would make any sense to levitate.

[Hero]’s tracks disappear immediately.
No one, but no one will be able to find anything here.

How many minutes do you want [Hero] able to walk across the ice ( max.)?

Here and now, I cannot find any even remotely sensible use for mind reading.

[Hero] turns into a small child for the next [N]minutes.

Pardon me, but for everybody around here right now, it is quite clear whether they are witches or warlocks or not.

[Hero] turns into a dog for the next [N]minutes.

Well, that’s one way of using up your astral energy - doing magic just for the heck of it!

Do you want all party members able to breathe under water?

[Hero] cleans all food from poisons and diseases.

[Hero] blows through his/her hands, and a gust of wind forms.

How many Astral Points do you want to invest the locking spell with?

Say what? What am I supposed to freeze here?

Come again? What am I supposed to melt here?

You wouldn’t believe the calmness.

Magically destroy which item?

All of a sudden, [Hero] feels this overwhelming desire for strawberries.

Seemingly out of nowhere, [N]crows appear.

A field of weightlessness appears for up to [N]paces around [Hero], with everything inside it levitating aimlessly.

a bridge of [N]paces in length and scintillating in all the colors of the rainbow appears in front of [Hero].

[Hero] has already been accelerated and definitely can’t act any faster than this.

Talk about useless. [Hero] already can walk on ice.

For the next [N]minutes, [Hero] can move across any ice surface with extraordinary skill.

Give me a break! There’s already three of [Hero]!

Stop wasting astral energy! [Hero] already looks like a small child.

[Hero]’s broom is hitting anything within reach.

One would think it pretty obvious a spell called Witch’s Broom is useless without said item!

[Hero] is already in a fighting frenzy - [Hero] couldn’t bear any more of it.

This spell has already been cast on 2 and it is still active.

[Hero] is already under the effects of a Fire’s Bane, you know.

Breathe under water for how many minutes ( max.)?

Lungs are turning into gills, and for [N]miutes you can breathe underwater.

You know, [Hero] is already invisible.

[Hero] can’t find any spoiled food items in the baggage.

The Claudibus spell worked - anyone trying to open something around here will have their work cut out for them.

You are already within the effect area of a Silentium spell - that precludes any additional use.

This magical helmet can be worn by any character and gives an additional 3 points of armor class.

The things some people get up to…
The scroll contains a spell cast seven times each by seven people:
It’s “Dispell Transformation”.

Good grief! The things some people get up to…
This scroll contains a spell cast seven times each by seven people:
It’s some kind of Dispell.

[Hero]’s attack value goes down.

j attack value is reduced.

[Hero] flees.

f flees.

Don’t you think you should wait until there’s an animal around that actually needs healing?

[Hero] feels the healing energy flow into the animal.

A double appears next to [Hero].

[Hero] is bewitched.

f is bewitched.

You can’t summon anything now!

[Hero]’s attempt to summon a demon fails.
TSo, no demon appears.

The Heshthot appears all right, but [Hero] fails to control it, and it disappears back into its home dimension.

The Heshthot appears, but [Hero] fails to break it to 1_ will. The demon furiously attacks the lot of you.

On [Hero]’s order, a Heshthot appears to aid you in this combat.

[Hero]’s summoning goes badly wrong. A furious Zant turns up and attacks you.

[Hero]’s summoning attempt succeeds, and a Heshthot turns up. But % astral energy is too weak to control the demon. It disappears back into its home dimension with a spectacular light show.

The Zant appears all right, but [Hero] fails to break it to 1_ will. As suddenly as it came, the demon goes back to its home dimension.

The Zant appears, but [Hero] cannot control it. Furiously, the demon attacks your party.

On [Hero]’s summoning, a Zant appears to aid you in this fight.

[Hero]’s summoning fails, and a furious Zant appears that attacks your party.

[Hero]’s summoning is a success, and a Zant turns up. But % astral energies are too low to break it to % will. Silently, the demon disappears back to its home dimension.

[Hero]’s summoning attempt fails; no Fire Elemental turns up.

[Hero] succeeds. You will have a Fire Elemental to help you in this combat.

[Hero]’s summoning fails; no Water Elemental appears.

[Hero] is successful in summoning a Water Elemental to aid you in this fight.

[Hero] succeeds in summoning an Elemental, but unfortunately, % astral energy is insufficient to control it, and thus it goes right back to where it came from.

Praios have mercy on you!
[Hero]’s summoning is a spectacular failure; an Arch Demon appears!
[Hero] is cowering in fear, while the Arch Demon feeds on - powers and permanently steals [N]of % Astral Points.

[Hero] goes berserk.

[Hero] is unharmed!

[Hero] cannot be healed while [Hero] is petrified.

Interesting idea. Unfortunately, [Hero] isn’t cursed at all!

f: destroyed!

“What do you take me for? Mad?
I haven’t the slightest intention of destroying r!”

You were lucky there. The spell failed.

The spell on this sword resists exact identification, but the astral patterns suggest some sort of movement magic.
The patterns form an uncomfortably strange arrangement. You have a bad feeling about this.

Maybe you didn’t notice, but [Hero] already looks like a dog.

“There’s nothing there to be opened!”

Claudibus is only useable under specific circumstances. You should target a door, really.

It is strange:
[Hero] just can’t concentrate on the spell.

… beer… beautiful dark caves…

… exam… master…

… sun… cold…

… hunger…

… finally away… firm land…

… or perhaps spies?

… love…

… love…

I long for a cool beer and for beautiful, dark caves.

Hopefully I will pass the exam. The master will fail me if I do not solve the riddles.

The flower of the First Sun wilts in the cold country of the North.

I really cannot control my hunger any longer.

I really want to get away from here. Simply to feel solid ground under my feet!

Did you fall into this plot by chance, or are you actually spies?

I love her!

I love him!

. has no Astral Points to steal!

[Hero] has stolen Astral Points of![Hero]’s.

[Hero] doesn’t neead anybody else’s Astral Points.

[Hero] falls asleep.

[Hero] is petrified!

f suddenly feels a tremendous craving for strawberries.

[Hero] can distinctly feel the queen block the spell.

Pardon me for mentioning it, but this spell makes absolutely no sense under the circumstances.

The demon’s power nips the spell in the bud.

The queen manages to draw new energy from the magic!

f summons help!

That spell is already acting on [Hero].

There’s no illusion here, so you can scarcely dispell one!

[Hero] clasps his arms in front of his body and concentrates on the target. But few moments later [Hero] stops and says:
“A magic aura is disturbing my concentration! This aura should be eliminated first.”

You cannot teleport here, who would know where you would land otherwise!

This spell can only be cast if you can see your surroundings.

“I am not mad! The magic will not work under water!”
