Spell Traits
[ACTION]
This spell can be cast as an action during the action phase using the spellcasting action.
[REACTION]
This spell can be cast as a reaction to a specific trigger.
[ATTACK]
An attack spell is treated like a weapon attack. It can be used against any target within the maximum range that the caster can manifest magic. If the target is within 1″, the attack is treated like a melee attack. Attacks against targets at distances greater than 1″ are treated as a projectile. The target does not get a save to avoid the spell, but may attempt a dodge.
[LINE]
A line spell is conjured in a straight line between two points. Every target in a straight line between the points must make a save against the effects of the spell. Both points must be within the caster’s maximum range. Line spells will have the total length of the line in inches listed in the tag like this: [LINE 3].
You can spend additional points of Will to increase the line length. Each point of Will spent increases the line length by 2″.
[SPHERE]
A sphere spell is conjured by the caster and sent to a point where it explodes outwards in a sphere. All valid targets within the area must make saves against its effects. Sphere spells will have the radius of the sphere in inches listed in the tag like this: [SPHERE 2].
You can spend additional points of Will to increase the sphere radius. Each point of Will spent increases the radius by 1″.
[TARGET]
A target spell takes effect on one or more targets within range selected by the caster.
[HLT]
This spell deals health damage. The baseline damage is always 1 point. If the target(s) gets a save it will be a Fortitude save.
[SAN]
This spell deals Sanity damage. The baseline damage is always 1 point. If the target(s) gets a save it will be a Will save.
[EFFECT]
This spell has a specific effect, such as a buff or a debuff. The duration of the effect in turns will be listed in the tag like this: [SLOW 1]
If no duration is listed the effect continues as long as the spell is maintained. Effects always end at the end of the target’s turn.
