Skill Rules & Full Description

Rank 3:

Spell Verbal: From the Unending and <Aspect> Pits of Hell I...

  • ...Summon a Hell Hound.        7 Power Points      1 Hour, Special.
    • This spell will summon a Hell Hound of the appropriate type depending on the Demonologists Aspect. The character must be in their Death Count for the spell to affect them; if cast upon an undead character or a character who is not at least Bleeding to Death, the spell has no effect and the Power Points are wasted. At the end of the character’s Death Count, their soul is sacrificed to Hell and a Hell Hound will emerge from the dead character’s body. The character’s soul spends a short time in Hell where it is tormented by the denizens of Hell. If the character is healed before the end of their Death Count, the spell ends and the summoning fails. Dispel magic will not stop the spell.
    • When the demon is destroyed, banished, or 1 hour passes, then the demon returns to Hell, leaving whatever worldly possessions it had behind. The player may now go to the Healer’s Guild and resurrect. There is no special consequence of their time spent in Hell other than not being able to play, while playing the demon. Hell Hounds cannot use the items of the character used to summon it.
 
  • ...Cast a Circle of Binding.     7 Power Points      End of Tag Cycle.
    • This spell is cast using the same rules as a wall spell, however it must always be a closed 10’ long piece of garland in a roughly circular shape. The caster can make the circle with up to a 20’ piece of garland if they wish.
    • Any demon or demon possessed character or item cannot pass out of the circle. They cannot attack, cast spells or use abilities or skills outside the circle. They can affect anything in the circle they wish. Additionally, demons may pass into the circle but not out again. Demons trapped inside the circle cannot affect the circle, but a demon on the outside can.
    • The circle will dissipate at the end of the Tag Cycle or if a Dispel Magic is cast upon the circle.
 
  • ...Summon a Minor Demon.       8 Power Points        1 Hour, Special
    • This spell will summon a Lesser Demon of the appropriate type depending on the Demonologists Aspect. The character must be in their Death Count for the spell to affect them; if cast upon an undead character or a character who is not at least Bleeding to Death, the spell has no effect and the Power Points are wasted. At the end of the character’s Death Count, their soul is sacrificed to Hell and a Lesser Demon will emerge from the dead character’s body. The character’s soul spends a short time in Hell where it is tormented by the denizens of Hell. If the character is healed before the end of their Death Count, the spell ends and the summoning fails. Dispel magic will not stop the spell.
    • When the demon is destroyed, banished, or 1 hour passes, then the demon returns to Hell, leaving whatever worldly possessions it had behind. The player may now go to the Healer’s Guild and resurrect. There is no special consequence of their time spent in Hell other than not being able to play, while playing the demon.
  • ...Burn Your Soul      9 Power Points       5 Seconds
    • This spell does 30 points of damage to the character with the effect listed below depending on the Demonologists Aspect.. Additionally, the character is affected by a 5 second Torso Stun

    • Ice: 30 Magic Ice
    • Undeath: 30 Magic Rot*
