Control Unliving 2
Type: Special
Vocals: By the power of the dark Ancestors, I control you, rank 2 (unless
part of a wedge).
Actions: As an individual dark incantor, or as the head of a dark incantor
wedge, point at the target unliving, possession or ancestral spirit and
tear a level two spell card or tear all the spell cards contributed by
the dark incantors in the wedge. As part of a dark incantor wedge maintain
contact with the dark incantor in front of you by holding onto their shoulders.
All participants in a wedge must pass their card for the dismiss forward
to the head of the wedge so that the total dismiss rank can be calculated.
Range: 30 feet.
Effects: The caster (or the head of the wedge) takes control of a single
unliving. Several dark incantors can each cast a control unliving within
a dark incantor wedge, focusing the power towards the one dark incantor
at the front (head) of the wedge. This means that the head of the wedge
would be casting a control unliving equal to the sum of all the control
unliving incantations cast within the wedge. When casting this spell as
part of a wedge the head of the wedge must substitute the rank number
in the verbal with the total number of control unliving dark incantor
cards used by the wedge. The head of the wedge can break away from the
wedge to cast the control unliving but cannot move more than ten feet
forward from the rest of the wedge and must complete the casting within
ten seconds of breaking away. If the head of the wedge is struck before
the incantation is complete the spell will fail as the focus is disrupted.
A countermagic or iron will cannot stop a control unliving.
Due to all the power of a wedge being focused towards the dark incantor
at the head, the head of a wedge who has broken away to cast the control
cannot be affected by mind affecting spells or powers during the ten seconds
in which they must complete the casting. Unintelligent unliving that have
been controlled will follow any simple command, including those that lead
to their own destruction. Intelligent unliving will obey most commands
but will flee if they are near death. Lord unliving cannot be controlled
with this incantation. The control lasts for ten minutes, after which
control of the target unliving reverts to the original creator or master
and the unliving will carry out any tasks it was originally given to do.
Reaction: If you are an unliving of a level equal to or
below the level of the control being cast, you become the servant of the
caster, or the head of the wedge, for ten minutes.
Resist Fear
Type: Mind
Vocals: By the power of the dark Ancestors I resist fear.
Actions: Tear a level two spell card. Raise both hands above your head
and recite the vocal. Note time of casting on a level 2 spell card. You
must retain the spell card for the duration of the effect and then tear
it.
Range: Self.
Effects: For the duration of this incantation (one hour) the caster is
completely immune to any fear or mass fear from any source what so ever.
Whenever any fear or mass fear effect is aimed at the caster he must recite
the resist fear vocal. If the caster is unable to speak for any reason
then he is unable to resist the fear and it will affect him normally.
Reaction: N/A
Rite of Dedication
Type: Special
Vocals: By the power of the dark Ancestors I dedicate this body to the
dark Ancestors (specific Ancestor), <Role-play a one minute ceremony>
Actions: Recite the vocal, perform a one minute ceremony involving the
target, then tear a level 2 spell card.
Range: Touch
Effects: This dark incantation claims the pattern of a recently deceased
living or unliving being. The incantation and ceremony must begin no more
than ten minutes after the death of the target. Once the ceremony is complete
the dark Ancestors or one named dark Ancestor claim the pattern of the
deceased. The pattern travels to the dark Ancestor's realm rather than
that of its own Ancestor. A pattern who has been dedicated in this way
may not be contacted using any of the speak with… incantations unless
the dark Ancestor who has the pattern permits it. Also the pattern may
not be summoned by any ritual or necromantic power unless the new owner
permits it. The pattern claimed in this way will retain its memories and
personality and may well be hostile to the dark Ancestor that has claimed
it.
Reaction: N/A
Speak with Unliving
Type: Special
Vocals: By the power of the dark Ancestors I speak with unliving!
Actions: Tear a level two spell card. Point at or touch the unliving.
Range: 30 feet.
Effects: For one minute you can ask individual questions of an intelligent
unliving and will receive single word, truthful known answers. This incantation
can only be cast on an unliving pattern. Unliving lords may refuse to
answer. The uncorrupted pattern of the recently deceased will give no
reply. This incantation can be used on any unliving killed with the last
ten minutes or it can be used to talk with a functioning but non-hostile
unliving. The unliving being talked to can only answer things that he
knows. A body that has been pattern corrected has no links to its unliving
pattern and will not be affected by this spell
Reaction: For a slow count of sixty you will answer all
questions put to you by the caster. You can only give one word answers.
Your answers must be as truthful as possible, based on what the unliving
knows and the way in which the question was asked. If you do not know
the answer to a question, say 'unknown'.
