by Admin Wed Aug 06, 2014 3:31 pmThe spell index is a list of every spell we will be working with, its path requirements, school and level, classification, and page where it can be located here. The spells themselves are divided into four sections: summoning rituals, non-summoning rituals, global enchantments, and battlefield spells.
Divine magic is listed under battle field spells as all divine magic is cast on the battlefield (except for some dual-path summons that can be found in the summoning spells).
This was done, once again, primarily with browsing in mind. "I need a good summoned creature" and "I need a good spell to cast on the battlefield" are generally separate thoughts and events, and separating the spells allows for better
side-to-side comparison of spells in the same category.
The in-RP spell descriptions should be consulted for the final word on
the historical background and justification for any arcane knowledge if any misunderstanding should occur.

Freezing Touch, Evocation 0, W1

A cloud of fine mist appears on the battlefield. Anyone inside the mist will have their wounds magically healed. The spell doesn't affect lifeless beings.
Shadow Blast, Evocation 5, D2

Wind of Death, Evocation 7, D4A1
With this horrible spell, the necromancer releases a wind thick with the stench of open graves. The ice-cold wind is silent as it rends the flesh of living beings.

This spell is only valid if the caster owns a castle, fortress or citadel.
The caster creates a rift in space that sucks him through, sweeping him back to the home citadel. It is a very fast and very dangerous way of teleporting.

Soul Drain, Thaumaturgy 8, S5D5
