Spell descriptions below may include one of the following labels:
For the duration of the spell, the caster cannot be harmed by any '''mundane''' melee or missile weapon, i.e. any attack '''not''' accompanied by a magical damage type such as Corporeal or Artefact. Spells affect the caster normally, including damaging spells such as Elemental Bolt.


*'''Combat:''' The spell has an offensive effect that makes it useful in battle. Every combat spell’s vocals conclude in a standard '''[[Calls#Damage Calls|damage]]''' or '''[[Calls#Effect Calls|effect]]''' call, which the target should be able to enact without referee intervention.
'''Effect calls''' delivered with a melee attack have no effect unless accompanied by a magical damage type as above, although the call Strength knocks the caster over even if the attack causes no damage (unless under the effects of a spell or ability to resist Strength or knockdown effects).
*'''Information:''' The spell reveals something of the target’s nature or current state to the caster. It does not directly affect the target, and thus ignores the immunity to magic that generally applied to enchanted or cod iron items.

|}
The spell is immediately broken, ending all protection, as soon as the caster takes any form of hostile action. Readying an attack (e.g. aiming a bow) doesn’t break the spell; nor do benevolent spells such as Lesser Healing or Purge Poison, or information spells such as Detect Magic.


A list of all spells follow. Note that '''not all spells listed are available with starting skills'''. Spells marked with an asterisk (*) below must be unlocked with [[Research|research]].
While under the effects of this spell, the caster should repeat the out of character call ''No Effect'' when struck, to convey the effect to attackers.

|}


===Corporeal===
This spell allows the caster to call Mass Enthral. All creatures within a 60 ft / 20 m radius of the caster at the time of casting become wholly engrossed in what the caster is saying, and are unable to take any action other than listening to the caster speak. If the caster moves away while the spell is in effect, enthralled creatures will follow them at a normal walk, although not into an obviously more dangerous situation than they are already in.

The effect requires the caster to speak continuously in comprehensible sentences. If they stop speaking for more than a couple of seconds or sustain any damage from any means, the spell ends immediately.

If any affected creature sustains any damage, the effects end for them only, freeing them to act as they wish.
This spell may be resisted by the skill [[Iron Will]].

For the duration of this spell, the subject views the caster as a dear friend and must act accordingly. Note that this spell doesn’t give the caster control of the subject, or alter their feelings towards anyone else, whether friend or foe.

This spell is not broken by hostile action against the subject by anyone other than the caster – although the target may become angry and confused that their “friend” is not coming to their aid – but if the caster takes any form of hostile action against them, the spell is instantly broken.

This spell may be resisted by the skill [[Iron Will]].
