DUR ATION: Immediate
INGREDIENT: Iron filings
You can interfere with the spells cast by other
magic users. This spell is reactive and breaks
the initiative order of combat in the round
(see page 83). You decrease the Power Level of
your opponent’s spell with the Power Level
of your DISPEL. If the result is zero or less,
your opponent’s spell has no effect at all. You
must both roll for overcharge and mishaps,
as with any other spell. You must decide how
many WP you spend on your DISPEL before
you both roll.
OBSCURE MAGIC

RANGE: Personal

DUR ATION: Immediate
✥✥
INGREDIENT: Piece of cloth
If you want to cast a spell unnoticed, you
must OBSCURE your magic. This requires 1
extra Willpower Point that does not count toward
the Power Level of the spell. OBSCURING
magic does not count as an action in itself.
To detect your OBSCURED spell, another magic
user must actively survey the area by casting
SENSE MAGIC.
Skilled Sorcerers and Druids can BIND spells to
dead objects to create magical traps or powerful
magical artifacts. You cast the spell like any other
and choose how many Willpower Points to
spend, but you must also spend extra WP to bind
your spell to an object instead of unleashing its
power immediately. Rituals cannot be BOUND.
Roll for any overcharge and mishap when
the spell is BOUND. The extra WP do affect this
roll, but don’t count toward the Power Level.
If you spend 1 additional WP, the magic
lingers for one day, or until the spell is triggered.
If you spend 2 additional WP, the magic
lingers forever, but dissipates when the spell is
triggered. Spending 5 additional WP binds the
spell to the chosen object forever, and it can be
triggered once per day.
You can bind the spell in whatever manner
you wish. You decide how the spell is triggered.
Common methods include a certain phrase being
uttered or that the object is opened, broken
or thrown to the ground. Once the spell has
triggered, it works just like it would if it had
been cast normally.

You can use this spell to steal Willpower Points
from others or to give your WP to someone
else. The base cost to cast the spell is 1 WP, and
you can then take or give as many WP as you
want. If your target opposes the TRANSFER, it is
not so easy – in this case, you can transfer no
