Nordheimer Magic

He chiselled the rune into the smooth rock he worked at on a shale cover mountain-side. He was in a stern concentration as he focused his mind on the rune of power. He chanted a prayer to Ymir and continued his work, gaining the power of the earth to surge through him, into the stone!

He finished with a slight smile, the spell he had placed into the rock would protected the lodge of his son and his newly married wife. He roused and with determination, stomped down the glen to his village.

The caster carves a rune and specifies who it will benefit and in what specific situation it will benefit them (for example, “luck for Bolli Bollarson in the duel against Haakon the Mad tomorrow” would be good, while “luck for Bolli Bollarson next time he gets attacked” would not be). Once the rune is triggered (for example by the duel starting) it grants +1 to all d20 rolls. The rune is then must be worn by whoever it grants luck to for it to be effective. The rune lasts for 1 day/scholar level in an inactive form, but once triggered it grants benefits for 1 minute/scholar level.

You must have the hand wearing the glove that his spell is cast on free (holding nothing) to benefit from this spell. Once per round when you would normally be hit with a ranged weapon, you may catch it so that you take no damage from it. Thrown weapons can immediately be thrown back at the original attacker (even though it is not your turn) or kept for later use. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed.

Magic Attack Roll: Sets DC for target’s saving throw

The caster carves a rune (that only works for one target) and places it under the target’s mattress. The target must be attracted to the caster’s gender or the spell does not work. Every night that the target sleeps in the bed that has the rune under the mattress they must make a will saving throw or become completely devoted to the caster. One the target fails his saving throw the effect is permanent unless the rune is broken. The caster can then order the target to do most anything that he wants (except for impossible orders such as “forget everything that has happened today”). If the target is ordered to do something against his nature or witnesses the caster do something that he find repugnant (such as the caster murdering a member of the target’s family), the target gets a new saving throw (with a +1 or +2 bonus if the order is suicidal or otherwise extremely against the target’s nature) for each such order. If the target passes any such will save the spell is broken.

Range: Personal

Duration: 1 day/scholar level and see below
Prerequisites: Knowledge Arcana 8 Ranks, Luck Rune
Saving throw: Will negates and see below
Magic Attack Roll: Sets DC for target’s saving throw

The caster carves a rune (that only works for one target) and places it under the target’s mattress. The target must be attracted to the caster’s gender or the spell does not work. Every night that the target sleeps in the bed that has the rune under the mattress they must make a will saving throw or view the caster favourably. This does not make the target willing to do anything obviously stupid or suicidal, just be positively-inclined towards the caster. One the target fails his saving throw the effect is permanent unless the rune is broken. Of course if the caster does something offensive to the target (like kill a family member) the target will no longer view the caster favourably.

Also if the first magical attack roll made by the caster is less than 10 (modified) then the rune functions as a Sickness Rune instead of a Love Rune.

Hamfarir

(shape-changing/animal totem magic)

Note: Many of these spells relate to the caster’s totem animal. A totem animal can be any natural animal, is chosen at character creation and can never be changed.


Aspect of the Beast (basic Hamfarir)
PP Cost: 1
Component: V
Casting Time: Full round action
Range: Personal
Target: Self
Duration: 10 minutes/scholar level

The caster takes on one element of his totem animal. This can be Low Light Vision, a +3 competence bonus to a relevant skill, or +5 feet/round to land speed. For example a caster with an eagle totem animal could use this spell to get a +3 bonus to spot but not a +3 bonus to Jump since that is not related to eagles.



Animal Ally
PP Cost: 6
Component: V, S, M, XP
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 1 mile/scholar level
Duration: Instantaneous
Prerequisites: Survival 6 ranks, Aspect of the Beast
Magic Attack Roll: Sets DC for target’s saving throw

Effects: see animal ally spell in Conan d20 book (p. 207). Too long to summarize here. Gives you familiar/animal companion-type critter.

XP cost: 150



Awake the Beast
PP Cost: 8
Component: V, S, M
Casting Time: 5 minutes
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates and see below
Prerequisites: Survival 15 ranks, Aspect of the Beast
Magic Attack Roll: Sets DC for target’s saving throw

Effects: see awful rite of the werebeast, page 197. Too long to summarize here. The spell turns the target into an obedient were-creature. The only change is that the form of were-beast must match the target’s totem animal.



Banish the Beast
PP Cost: 4
Component: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch or Evil Eye
Target: One human
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Prerequisites: Survival 15 ranks, Aspect of the Beast
Magic Attack Roll: Sets DC for target’s saving throw

If successful, this spell returns a human in animal shape to its human form. This dispels such spells as Wolf Shirt and returns casters using spirit sending spells to their bodies. 



Bear Shirt
PP Cost: 4 points and see below
Component: V, S
Casting Time: 1 full round
Range: Personal
Target: Self
Duration: 3 + con bonus rounds and see below
Prerequisites: Survival 7 Ranks, Aspect of the Beast

This spell gives the caster all of the effects of the Fighting-madness feat. As a free action the caster can extend the spell’s effects for an additional 3 + con bonus rounds at a cost of one power point. In addition this spell grants the caster a temporary +2 HP/level (maximum +20), a +2 bonus to saves vs. massive damage and immunity to saves vs. massive damage while he has any of the temporary hit points granted by this spell. This spell cannot be cast while wearing armour (helmets and shields are fine) and armour cannot be donned while the caster is under the effect of this spell.



Bones of Life
PP Cost: 1 point/hit dice of creature
Component: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch

Returns a single non-magical animal to life.

Material components: various herbs worth 20 sp/HD of the creature



Calm the Beast
PP Cost: 2
Component: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch, Magical Link, or Evil Eye
Target: One animal
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Prerequisites: Survival 4 Ranks, Aspect of the Beast
Magic Attack Roll: Sets DC for target’s saving throw

If the target animal fails its will save it becomes calm an unwilling to attack. If this is cast on a summoned creature or a creature under the control of a sorcerer, then the sorcerer makes the will save instead of the animal. The target gets a -2 to its saving throw if its species is the caster’s totem animal and a +2 to its will save (cumulative) if it is radically different than the caster’s totem animal, if the caster or his allies have attacked it, or if it is in any way magical (controlled, summoned, transformed etc. etc.).



Control Magical Beast
PP Cost: 9
Component: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Evil Eye
Target: One magical beast
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Prerequisites: Survival 10 Ranks, Handle Animal 10 Ranks, Summon Beast, Animal Ally
Magic Attack Roll: Sets DC for target’s saving throw

Using this spell the sorcerer gains an initial rapport with a magical beast. However afterwards the caster must institute a regimen of training to get the beast to follow orders and the beast’s loyalty is natural, not magical, and it can turn against its master if mistreated. A caster can only control creatures whose combined hit dice equal his caster level in this manner.



Dream of the Beast
PP Cost: 1
Component: V, S
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: 100 miles/caster level
Target: One sleeping human
