this is Salem, a land filled with magic and maladies. It is a place where witches and their elemental familiars gather, a home to legend and
lore that predates time itself. Yet of all the wicked and wonderful stories the past can tell us of, the most magical are the ones yet to happen.
This is Salem - this is the start of your very own journey. Welcome to starfall
Starfall is an animaga witch roleplay set in mostly modern times. Members play as witches in a world plagued by monsters, where the only safe spots are walled cities. Starfall strives to be a character-driven roleplay with expansive lore and a highly interactive plotline. We want to allow members to
create and look back on a magical journey, and mold the site and its plot as their characters grow.
[attr="class","stafftemptitle"] Type one: general scroll
Since the staff cannot possibly think of all types of scrolls for all the affinities, members are encouraged to create scrolls for use around the site. General scroll creation means that you are creating a simple scroll for an existing affinity - member created or staff created. [break][break] Please only include a max of 5 suggestions per post, but know that double posting is fine. This makes it easier for staff to fully process one post at a time. [break][break] here is a doc containing the current list of spells for all affinities.

Type two: signature scroll
As characters grow into famous witches with great amounts of knowledge and skill, it is entirely possible for them to create their own scrolls and incantations. Signature scrolls are extremely rare scrolls-- ICLY they are often created by that witch, or the head of a family to whom the knowledge of the scroll is passed down. For this reason, signature scrolls can combine affinites-- meaning that they can have highly specialized and extremely powerful effects that one cannot usually obtain from normal scrolls. They may only be created by witches adept and above.[break][break] Signature scrolls may be completely exclusive or available to witches with the required affinities (still, extremely rare). However, these scrolls cost AP to create. AP will be deducted on the following criteria: [break][break]
base cost
15 AP and 500 gold
spell rank above basic (adv or mas)
+5 AP per rank
additional combined affinities/elements above the first
+5 AP per affinity/element

name of scroll: Sanguine Sacrifice: Self history: From the personal tome of Liria, a prolific researcher and prodigy from the Emerson family. She is more well known in the circles of darker magic as the family chose to cast her out for her work with blood magic. affinity: General description: Liria Emerson's research thesis was that of offering one's own blood ( or another creature's ) to increase the potency of an effect. The amount of power given being equivalent to the amount of blood offered. A witch offers their blood increase for an extra boost in their next spell. Oftentimes this was how those with limited knowledge of spells would add powers to their attacks, with fledglings in desperation bolstering their attacks to match that of an apprentice and acolytes reaching those of master. However, the backlash is exhausting for the witch who has not trained their body to handle such boosts.
name of scroll: Sanguine Sacrifice: Lock history: From the personal tome of Liria, a prolific researcher and prodigy from the Emerson family. She is more well known in the circles of darker magic as the family chose to cast her out for her work with blood magic. affinity: General description: Liria wanted to protect her research into the body and so created a spell to place on the locks protecting her research. A simple lock would be required to have blood of the witch touched to it to unlock. While there are more thematically aesthetic ways the spell can be applied, the most common is touching blood to the designated enchanted lock. The witch who cast the spell would identify which type of individuals' blood was acceptable at the moment of casting. If the wrong blood is given, the witch who offered it will feel a small harsh burn on their wound to discourage them from touching it. modification permission: yes go for it!!
name of scroll: Sanguine Sacrifice: Poison history: From the personal tome of Liria, a prolific researcher and prodigy from the Emerson family. She is more well known in the circles of darker magic as the family chose to cast her out for her work with blood magic. affinity: General description: Drawing from the belief that the most powerful magic comes from the life within witches, Liria Emerson rediscovered a way for witches to use their own blood in exchange for extra potency in curses. In this specific spell, by pricking themselves and drawing blood, a witch can curse another to suffer effect similar to a dangerous poison coursing through their bodies. Witches have said to feel as if their lungs, stomach, heart, and even brain are being squeezed by an unknown force leading to fatigue and hardship breathing. The more blood offered, the worse the effects are. It is said that a scorned lover once cut off her own pinky and offered it to the gods, and her lover lived a long and healthy life but was wracked by debilitating pains and frailty until the day he died. modification permission: By all means!! <3
name of scroll: Sanguine Sacrifice: Monster history: From the personal tome of Liria, a prolific researcher and prodigy from the Emerson family. She is more well known in the circles of darker magic as the family chose to cast her out for her work with blood magic. affinity: General description: A more stationary spell that requires a little preparation. A spell circle marked with blood around a beast that forces the witch's will onto its own turning it temporarily subservient. At its best, fledglings can use it to force monsters that find them in the wilds to turn back. At its worst master can use them to take temporary control of dragons and force it to kill another dragon. Naturally, the more blood ( or body parts ) sacrificed, the longer the duration of the control. Best used on creature with weak wills. modification permission: yes

Below is the list of spells added this month -- it will be edited as more spells are added, and a new post will be made for following months.
[attr="class","stafftempstore"]
[attr="class","item"]
A MESMER'S GRIMOIRE: DISTORTADV
Scroll - Transfiguration
The continual application of this spell allows the transfigurer to warp a target’s memories, the extent of which depends on the witch’s experience, as well as the target’s mental fortitude. While beginners may only be able to affect slivers of recent memories, masters have been said to suppress experiences from years past, locking them deep into the target’s unconscious. It is worth noting that it is near impossible to implant wholly new memories with this spell, and it is limited to manipulating what already exists.
[attr="class","item"]
A MESMER'S GRIMOIRE: SHOCKADV
Scroll - Transfiguration
After a brief analysis, the transfigurer is able to temporarily scramble the flow of mana within a target’s mind, potentially interrupting spells in-progress or even stunning them in place. Hope that a interrupted spell doesn't hit something else! Its effectiveness depends on the witch’s experience and the target’s mental fortitude, with beginners managing to trigger little more than a minor headache that lasts but a few seconds.
[attr="class","item"]
A MESMER'S GRIMOIRE: CONFUSIONADV
Scroll - Transfiguration
The witch temporarily alters a target’s perception of external stimuli, knocking them off-kilter for a short period of time. For instance, up becomes down, and left becomes right. purple is suddenly green, and you swear that bird had three eyes. The effect is very obvious to the target, and this spell is thus not effective for subtle deceptions. Its duration depends on the witch’s experience and the target’s mental fortitude, with masters being able to disorient opponents enough to decisively end a fight in a single blow.
[attr="class","item"]
A MESMER'S GRIMOIRE: TOGGLEADV
Scroll - Transfiguration
The transfigurer taps into a target’s mind, and carefully hones in on a certain sense, such as one’s sense of hearing, heightening it to dangerous levels or rendering it completely useless. There really only are two extremes with this spell, though masters have demonstrated considerable control. When cast on oneself, be wary of triggering a sensory overload. When used on other targets, it proves particularly useful when aiming to debilitate.
[attr="class","item"]
UTILITY BLUEPRINTS 001: WATER PURIFICATION POT
Scroll - Crafting SYN Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
This scroll teaches crafters to create a small water jug or pot that can purify water to make it drinkable. The water is removed of all impurities including beneficial ones. It becomes just water.
[attr="class","item"]
UTILITY BLUEPRINTS 002: SHELTER
Scroll - Crafting SYN Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
The witch creates a small box shelter like a tiny metallic cabin. It folds up and compresses itself to the size of a Rubin cube on command and can unfold with a similar command. The sturdiness of the expanded structure depends on the skill of the crafter. It requires mana to activate.
[attr="class","item"]
UTILITY BLUEPRINTS 003: SLEEPING MASK
Scroll - Crafting SYN Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
This scroll allows the crafter to create a visor worn around their head that blocks out all light from their vision. Skilled craftsman have been able to combine this item with special goggles or lenses which provide alternate visual input.
[attr="class","item"]
STAR FALL: APOCALYPSEADV
Scroll - Starcalling
The user calls stardust down from the open sky to create an explosive meteor shower. Each creation explodes with contact with another object. Requires access to the sky to properly use.
[attr="class","item"]
STAR FALL: AFTER THE FALL
Scroll - Starcalling
The witch brings stardust down from the sky to create light, sandy clouds to obscure the field around them, much like a desert storm. The stardust is still highly explosive, so fire, light, or lightning based magic are a bad idea.
[attr="class","item"]
STAR FALL: CREATION OF A NEW WORLD
Scroll - Starcalling
The user releases all stardust based spells in the area, both their own and others', causing any stardust to be pulled back up into the sky. The stardust is unusable and inert for a short amount of time as this spell works. The amount of time and amount of area affected depends on the strength of the witch.
[attr="class","item"]
RECORD
Scroll - Atheneum
Casting this spell allows the athenian to save what they or any of their drones are currently perceiving in their interface and play it back to themselves or a willing observer at a later time. Stronger casters will be able to save all of their senses for hours on end, though witches who are just starting out should probably just start with one or two senses for a few minutes. Any sensory enhancements or detriments experienced in the moment will be perceived in the saved recording.
[attr="class","item"]
THE FIRST COMMANDMENT: PEACE OVER WAR
Scroll - Spellsinging
This scroll allows the spellsinger to create a powerful verbal suggestion to stop or freeze towards a group of enemies. The spell requires the witch to verbally articulate this with a phrase such as “Stop,” or “I command you to halt,” or something of that nature. The suggestion is stronger when there are fewer targets and the witch is in close proximity to them. Sufficient will or deafness can be used to fight off the suggestion.
[attr="class","item"]
THE SECOND COMMANDMENT: SURVIVAL OVER SACRIFICE
Scroll - Spellsinging
This scroll teaches a witch to create a powerful verbal suggestion to run away or flee. The witch must verbally articulate the spell with a phrase like “Run away,” or “Leave us.” The closer to a target they are and the fewer the targets the stronger the suggestion. Sufficient will or deafness can be used to fight off the suggestion.
[attr="class","item"]
THE THIRD COMMANDMENT: FAMILY OVER SELF
Scroll - Spellsinging
This scroll teaches the witch to hype up or increase the courage and resolve of themselves or others through verbal suggestion. It has the benefit of slightly increasing the body's basic attributes of strength, durability and reflexes by a small amount, akin to a mother lifting a tree off her child in a fit of panic. Similarly, the targets will feel physically drained after the spell wears off. Requires a verbal phrase like other spells from this book, such as “I can do this,” or “For our family/clan/coven.” The closer the target and the less targets the stronger the spell.
[attr="class","item"]
COTTON GUARDADV
Scroll - Transfiguration
A useful form of transformation magic that allows the witch to transform their body into that of a large sheep-like creature with overly fluffy wool. The wool has the property of the weaving spell "Repel Thread," with offensive magic being the thing it repels. This deflects most physical magical attacks, but be warned that the wool is very susceptible to non-magical damage, especially from fire. This form has fairly low mobility, but the wool can be manipulates by the caster to form crude structures, like walls or similar shapes within a small radius of the creature. Makes a good landing cushion.
[attr="class","item"]
DIVINE TRANSFORMATION: THE HEAVENLY BULLADV
Scroll - Transfiguration
This spell allows a witch to transform into a large, white bull-like creature. Its horns are golden and metallic in nature. It is said to be based on one of the divine creatures that protect the home of the gods in ancient times. While shifted into this creature, the witch will be able to utilize the air techniques "Stunning Touch" (from their horns only) and "Cushion Cloud" to more freely move around.

name of scroll: Divine Transformation: Dragon of the End affinity: Transformation description: Transformation into a dragon ice creature that is made in the image of the ice dragon said to signal the coming of the end of man.

name of scroll: Sands of Time: Reversal affinity: Starcalling description: Creates an hourglass filled with stardust as sand. When the witch pours their mana into it and flips it the timer starts. While active any mana used for spellcasting is instantly recouped from the surrounding environment for the user. This allows for continuous use of mana draining spells not normally usable to the average witch. Once the timer ends this effect stops and their body takes on the strain of excess mana use causing exhaustion. Amateurs have even been known to pass out from exhaustion after use while more skilled witches usually maintain at least enough mana to flee. Each rank increases the amount of sand in the hourglass. Spell will end if the hourglass is broken. modification permission: yep!
name of scroll: Sands of Time: Forward affinity: Starcalling description: Creates an hourglass filled with stardust as sand. When the witch pours their mana into it and flips it the timer starts. When active any spell fired by the user receives an increase in speed making normally slow unusable spells quick and deadly. Only works on spells and not items so weapons are unaffected. Each rank increases the amount of sand in the timer. Spell will end if the hourglass is broken. modification permission: yep!
name of scroll: Sands of Time: Stop affinity: Starcalling description: Creates an hourglass filled with stardust as sand. When the witch pours their mana into it and flips it the timer starts. While active any mana slows down to a near crawl. Any non enhancement spell is essentially unusable in the small radius of the hourglass. This effects any active spells causing it to appear like the spell is frozen in time. Each rank increases the amount of sand in the hourglass. Spell will end if the hourglass is broken. modification permission: yep!
name of scroll: Sands of Time: Chronos affinity: Starcalling description: This scroll combines the three time spells into a small amulet version allowing for the user to switch between the three spells on the fly. Also decreases the size of the hourglass target making it harder to destroy. modification permission: yep!

name of scroll: Godspeed Flash affinity: Augmentation description: This scroll teaches witches how to enhance their legs with a large burst of mana for a brief second allowing one to increase their speed by a huge amount. It takes speed magic to its logical extreme causing near teleportation speed for a brief instant.

The first spell allows the witch to block someone out of a dream world allowing outside interference from others difficult or impossible depending on the difference in strength between the caster and the intruder. This spell is often used to communicate with others via dreams without interference. modification permission: yep!
name of scroll: Dream Tarot: The Moon affinity: Divination description: This scroll is part of a book of tarot based spells thought to be created by the Great Dreamweaver. The next spell allows the witch to communicate via dreams with someone who is still awake. It induces a brief moment of daydreaming to bypass the normal dream communication restriction.

Post by Charani Petrov on Jan 26, 2020 5:53:05 GMT
name of scroll: Cleansing Mana affinity: General description: This scroll teaches witches to use their mana for general cleaning purposes.

name of scroll: Instant Strike of Death Perception affinity: Necromancy description: Imparts the idea or suggestion of death upon a target with the power of regeneration or immortality such as phoenixs or allegedly even gods. It is said to have been the weapon mankind used to kill the last of the great demon gods more than ten thousand years ago. It uses the witches mana to impart this greatly weakening the foe and allowing for them to be killed like any mortal ignoring special requirements and bypassing invincibility and immortality. In exchange the witch using the spell receives a permanent rank drop for its use in a thread but can be used multiple times in said thread with only a one rank drop counted as it is per thread not per use. Use it wisely. modification permission: yep!
name of scroll: Magic Eyes of Death Perception affinity: Necromancy description: An improved version of the previous spell this allows for the witch to impart the idea of death on any one target within their line of sight for a temporary thread rank drop in power.

Use turns the witches eyes an icy blue color. modification permission: yep!
name of scroll: Heart Strings: Locator affinity: Weaving description: Creates an invisible string used to locate someone whom the witch has string feelings for. These feelings don’t have to be good as rage, love, friendship and sadness all work as long as the feeling is strong enough. The string is only visible to the user of this spell. It requires both parties be alive and a mana upkeep as long as it’s active meaning long distance is not feesible for weaker witches. modification permission: yep!
name of scroll: Communication Jewelry affinity: Crafting description: Small mana sensitive objects that often come as either earrings, necklaces of bracelets that can be used for long distance communication. The set is often matching and can, depending on the users skill, connect to up to five witches at a time. It doesn’t work as well underground for some reason. modification permission: yep!
Post by Charani Petrov on Feb 23, 2020 5:42:42 GMT

name of scroll: Bread in a Bottle affinity: Alchemy description: The potion becomes bread when it contacts the mana in the air with each drop creating a loaf.

history:A Homemaker's Guide to Practical Magic, surprisingly (or not) written by male witch Sir Otto Karlson. A strict traditionalist most well known for being the headmaster of Karlson's Finishing School, he was also an author and public speaker. Heavily criticized for being misogynistic, classist, and rigid in his thinking, it was of the utmost importance to him young witches be groomed for their respective gender roles in high society. Having properly learned witches was essential, in his mind to preserving the family unit. This book focuses on the role of a female witch in the household. Karlson felt it important women focused primarily in defensive and healing magic, purification and weaving being the most "feminine" affinities. It was their job to keep the home clean and safe from malicious magicks. While this text is extremely dated some of the spells inside are still quite useful.
name of scroll: A Homemaker's Guide to Practical Magic: Pure Salt (Synthesis, Single Use) affinity: purification description: In most properties this salt is the same as regular nonmagical sodium chloride. In high society assassination via poison is a legitimate concern. The wives of high-status witches were recommended to only use Pure Salt to ensure the safety of both their husband and the family. The salt absorbs any poisons added to the food and negates their magical effect. Ironically, since it was assumed wives would use Pure Salt instead of regular salt many men found themselves a victim to their own spouse's nefarious magic. modification permission: yeth
name of scroll: A Homemaker's Guide to Practical Magic: White Candles (Synthesis, Single Use) affinity: purification description:A traditionally white candle that will purify the immediate vicinity when lit. Like any nonmagical candle, they only last as long as their wick. It is stated in Karlson's book than any proper homemaker will keep multiple on hand. They're often placed in bedrooms to burn at night when the family is sleeping. It is a preventative measure against any hexes, curses, etc. Witches are allowed to scent candles to their preference. modification permission: yeth
name of scroll: A Homemaker's Guide to Practical Magic: Floral Wreath (Synthesis, Single Use) affinity: purification description: Both a way to decorate and protect the home. A floral wreath, traditionally placed on the front door to a house acted as a way to purify the home. The type and combination of flowers used were specific to each family and viewed as something as unique as a signature. Passing through the threshold and into the home, a witch would be effectively "stripped" of their magical ability. The wreath completely stopping the manipulation of mana. This spell is indiscriminate in effect but lasts for no more than a day, afterwards the wreath is reduced to being purely ornamental. It was often used during holidays when family and in-laws would be in town. Karlson found excessive use of magic in the house in poor taste. Wives and children, unlike husbands, were best practicing magic under supervision or on set occasions. modification permission: yeth
name of scroll: A Homemaker's Guide to Practical Magic: A Child's Charm affinity: weaving description: A spell designed originally for a mother's use but with surprisingly wide applications. A spell with dual-purpose, useful for making sure lost clothing items are returned to irresponsible children and for protection. A witch sews the wearer's name into their clothes, and they are enshrouded in a protective field of mana. This spell is generally weak to moderate in strength. It acts as a good precaution against mild dangers but will not do much in situations of true peril. This is spell is also found in Karlson's text Magic and Child-Rearing. modification permission: yeth
name of scroll: A Homemaker's Guide to Practical Magic: A Clear Path affinity: weaving description: A spell particularly useful for use on adventurous children and pets. A band is made using various threads, can be used as a bracelet, necklace, etc. dependent on size. It allows the wearer to find their way back to one set point when worn, in this case, their home. This is spell has found much use outside of its original purpose and is also found in Karlson's text Magic and Child-Rearing. modification permission: yeth

RED STRING: CUTTING
Scroll - Weaving
This scroll teaches weavers to cut tangible threads using their mana. While normal cutting tools may have a difficult time cutting the strings from the other weaving scrolls, this scrolls allows the user to cut the physical string by sending a surge of their mana into the string causing the string to break at the weakest point. It can be used to cut non-magical threads, too!
[attr="class","item"]
INTANGIBLE SERIES: ATROPOS SHEARSADV
Scroll - Weaving
The witch creates in their hand a golden pair of intangible, ghostly shears with the power to cut any other spell in the intangible series as if it were regular string. The shears can also, with a large amount of mana, become momentarily physical to be able to cut physical objects as well. This is difficult if not impossible to do for fledgling witches and requires a large amount of mana to do.
[attr="class","item"]
INTANGIBLE SERIES: EYES OF CLOTHOADV
Scroll - Weaving
This scroll allows the weaver to see any intangible threads made with weaving magic by pouring mana into their eyes. Use of this scroll turns the user's eyes to a gold color, and to them the threads will also appear in a golden hue. The intangible threads will possess a soft, pale glow, with a brighter the glow indicating a stronger thread.
[attr="class","item"]
INTANGIBLE SERIES: SPOOL OF LACHESISADV
Scroll - Weaving
This scroll teaches the witch how to connect part of intangible thread magic to a physical object instead of to themselves or the targeted person. Negates some of the more harmful effects to some thread magic such as shared pain by using this object as a stand in for yourself like a voodoo doll of sorts. The object loses power when it gets to far away from the witch casting the spell.
[attr="class","item"]
STITCH OF POWER VOL. 4: GOSSAMER
Scroll - Weaving SYN Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
Isabella Chauntrice sought to add beauty as well as utility to her designs and it was thus how she created this spell. Weavers infuse mana into a thread that when stitched into clothing or wrapped around heavy armor, can create a lightening effect. Full plated armor can suddenly feel like a lightweight t-shirt and slacks. Mainly used for soldiers, this was also very useful for grunt work and construction when it came to moving around heavy loads.
[attr="class","item"]
STITCH OF POWER VOL. 5: CHEVIOT
Scroll - Weaving SYN Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
Isabella Chauntrice sought to add beauty as well as utility to her designs and it was thus how she created this spell. Weavers infuse mana into a thread that when stitched into clothing or wrapped another, can create a heavy-ing effect. Witches who are easily blown over are held down and braced by this wonderful thread. Full plated armor is no longer required to add weight to the witch.
[attr="class","item"]
STITCH OF POWER VOL. 6: PLATEMAIL
Scroll - Weaving SYN Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
Something that took Isabella a particularly long time to figure out, and then became her favorite spell. Borrowing from both the repel threads and spider silk threads, Isabella devised a particularly pattern to sew armored clothing that could withstand ripping or piercing. Although the clothing is less customizable than simply adding a spidersilk thread on a chiffon blouse, the thicker garments offer hidden protection in plain sight and their creation from mana bound threads make adding addition magical threads easier as they attract one another.
[attr="class","item"]
ACCELERATE SCROLL
Scroll - Enchantment
A useful form of evocation that can force the mana of a moving object to speed up. It is more complex and difficult to pull off when used against living beings, but can easily be used to speed up the movement of hurled objects and the like. Gets easier with practice, as all things do.
[attr="class","item"]
SOLID MANA: HEXAGON SHIELD
Scroll - Enchantment
This scroll teaches witches how to enchant the mana in their surroundings to create hexagonal barriers by manipulating the density and distribution of mana particles. It requires advanced control of mana manipulation to create a proper shield that won’t break in a single hit, but the shield requires very little mana from the caster to maintain. The more mana rich the environment the easier and stronger the base spell will be.
[attr="class","item"]
BRIAR CHAINS
Scroll - Plantshaping
The witch creates briar rose vines that ensnare the subject. Thanks to the thorny nature of these vines, struggling against them causes large amounts of cuts and bleeding. This is exactly what the plants desire, since they feed on the blood of struggling victims to strengthen themselves. The initial strength of the vines and the quantity which can be produced is determined by the magical prowess of the witch.
[attr="class","item"]
BRIAR CHAINS: BLOOM
Scroll - Plantshaping
This scroll is a companion spell to the previous scroll. Mixing some of the caster's own blood and mana onto the spell allows the briar roses to fully bloom and release their pollen. Briar Rose pollen is a highly potent paralytic and will cause the person who inhales it to become paralyzed. The strength and amount of pollen created varies by the strength of the mana and amount of blood given to the plant.
[attr="class","item"]
CORPSE HUNTING TREE
Scroll - Plantshaping
This scroll teaches plantshapers how to create tree roots that suck up lingering energy and mana from once-living beings corpses in order to speed up their own healing. The larger the corpse, the fresher the kill, and the more magically powerful the creature all contribute to faster healing. While it can be used on human corpses as well, this is viewed as desecration similar to cannibalism and thus frowned upon.
[attr="class","item"]
HEALING FLOWER BASKET
Scroll - Plantshaping
This scroll teaches the witch how to create a human-sized basket from either vines, tree roots, or a combination of the two. Anything inside this structure receives a moderate amount of healing over time as long as they remain inside the basket. It also slowly restores a person's mana and provides a sense of calm. The target must remain inside to receive these effects and the basket is not mobile. The swiftness of healing depends on the power of the caster and the amount of sunlight present, with the effects being highly weakened in the dark and at night.
[attr="class","item"]
HEALING LULLABY
Scroll - Spellsinging
A healing song that draws mana to the target to help speed up their rate of healing. Requires the target to be within earshot of the caster to work, but do not need to be capable of hearing the song themselves.
[attr="class","item"]
TIME DELAY: PURIFICATION FREEZE
Scroll - Purification
Instead of purifying a spell, a witch can instead temporarily delay its activation or its continuation. To the outside perspective it looks essentially the same. Their mana is used to cause the spell mechanism to slow down to a near halt for a set amount of time before it reactivates. Often used in torture to temporarily relieve curses used on captured enemies for information.
[attr="class","item"]
ACID SPIT
Scroll - Transfiguration
The user can change the structure of their saliva to have highly acidic properties when ejected from the mouth. The acidity is dependent on the amount of mana used and can be enhanced through artificial means like spicy foods, potions, and other similar things. Otherwise it works like normal spit, and is limited to the same range and quantity of normal spit.
[attr="class","item"]
ADVANCED STARCALLING: ANDROMEDA GALAXYADV
Scroll - Starcalling
A large amount of stardust is collected into one spot, creating a highly dense and highly pressurized clump of stardust. By using their mana, the witch can ignite the ball of stardust to create a miniature sun. This object increases all other starcalling and light-dependant magics in the area, such as light or plant magic. Requires constant mana upkeep or it will break apart and possibly explode.
[attr="class","item"]
ADVANCED STARCALLING: MILKY WAYADV
Scroll - Starcalling
This scroll creates a large field of floating stardust around the user that rotates around their area of influence. Upon contact with a biological organism the orbs of stardust will violently detonate. This includes all organic matter such as plants, animals, witches, and anything like that.
[attr="class","item"]
COMBAT BLUEPRINTS 015: MANARANG
Scroll - Crafting SYN Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
This scroll teaches crafters to create a boomerang-like weapon. The weapon is charged to follow a certain mana trail by absorbing mana from a target through touch and storage of its signature into the embeded mana crystal in the center. It seeks out the mana signature if it is nearby, sort of like a heat seeking missile version of a boomerang. Placing some of the user's own mana into it as well allows for it to return to the user after being thrown.
[attr="class","item"]
COMBAT BLUEPRINTS 016: PAINT BOMB
Scroll - Crafting SYN Can synthesize as LIMITED USE items
Based on the paint bombs of the Jester's Den Paint War, this paint ball has a tiny mana crystal in the center allowing for timed explosions and a stronger blast than that of the rather harmless bombs used for the festival. It also isn’t uncommon for it the paint to be laced with other liquids, making it great for alchemists to spread their concoctions.
[attr="class","item"]
CORPSE BOMB
Scroll - Necromancy
A useful form of trap, the witch places a contained sphere of high violent mana into a corpse that will explode upon meeting a certain condition. The condition is set at the time the spell is cast and requires a simple directive, such as a distance limit, number of interactions, or a set time to activate. Complex directions will often cause the spell to be improperly set, causing it to eiher explode unexpectedly or fail to trigger altogether.
[attr="class","item"]
CORPSE REGENERATION: CANNIBALIZE
Scroll - Necromancy
This scroll teaches the necromancer to use deceased bodies as fuel for mana. The witch places their hands on a deceased target and cannibalizes any cells left post mortem to fuel their own mana regeneration. If the corpse is recently deceased, then more material is present and thus more mana can be regenerated.
[attr="class","item"]
EYES OF THE REAPER
Scroll - Necromancy
This scroll teaches the witch to use corpses as a medium of far sight or spying. By placing their mana into a corpse they can use their mana to see in their mind whatever the corpse is currently viewing. The spell's strength depends on the current degeneration of the body, as newer bodies eyes will be less damaged than those that are long dead. Even so, even skeletons without eyes will be able to "see" vague, dark forms.
