The World of Teréth End - Spells & Magic
"A small incision along this lower muscle will release the kanas myod. This too will elevate the draga within the subject, finally permitting us to advance to the final stage. In this stage, the subject is reversed and the back is prepared. Each (scapula) is pulled forward so that the etchings face upward and out. It is important that these are angled precisely, so that the wings will grow appropriately."

[form (body, anatomy) (sex, fertility) (health) (sickness, disease)] The Arts of Draga Visìktis involve old and complicated magic forms. Within the Dekàlan magical tradition, Draga Visìktis is divided into three branches. The branches of this form are Ishra, Thaldos, and Fuld Etheres. Some students of Draga Visìktis attempt to learn and master all of these forms, including forms non-canonical. Diversification usually fails as the forms vary greatly and often contradict in both principle and practice. Prerequisites in seperate forms do not often apply to advanced studies in another. There are some studies and spells that are basic to all forms, but those are few. |
Thaldos is the study of the functional, physical and metaphysical interconnectivity of the body as a complex construct or vessel for the soul (see Fuld Etheres). Named after a Dekàlan anatomist, Thaldos teaches the meaning, function, and interaction of body components, as well as their sensitivity and significance with regard to Chaos. Many Thaldan sorcerers and wizards are also chirurgeons, though this should not be confused with the study of Or Hàlam. The study of Thaldos is sometimes mistaken for Ishra, but the two are dissimilar. Whereas Ishra may modify the potential of a physical body (up or down), Thaldos utilitizes that which is naturally occurring. Examples of Thaldos: choke, control actions, mimic actions, trip.
Fuld Ethéres is the study of the body as a vessel of the soul. Fuld Etheres seeks to interpret the mysteries of personality, experience, and destiny from the expressions left on the body by the soul, Chaos, or a combination of these. Practitioners of Fuld Etheres claim to ability to read palms, scalps, eyes, and other body parts to gain insight into the person's secrets, problems, and future. Though many charlatans and fortune tellers claim these abilities, the Etherad are truly adept in this field. Though contested, it is believed that true mastery of Fuld Etheres requires deep understanding and experience with Draga Orykul.

D&D Spells:
| Elzundir's Sympathetic Heal (Share Life) Sor/Wiz 2 | |
| (halá Visìktis) When cast, the sorcerer or wizard transfers some of her own health into an ailing familiar for up to 1 hit point per level of the caster. A familiar's hit points cannot be raised above its normal maximum in this manner. To cast the spell, the caster and familiar must be in direct contact (i.e. flesh to flesh) (based on Share Life Drag280pp63) |
| Madathan's Borrowed Vision (Madathan's Borrowed Vision) Sor/Wiz 2 | |
| (Ka Shurt Oradá Visìktis) This spell enables a magician to share the sense of vision with a target. Shared vision is viewed when the magician's eyes are closed, while the magician's vision returning when eyes are opened. The magician may switch back and forth between the two views during the spell's length. During the spell's length, a successful Concentration check (DC 10) is required each round the magician wishes to perform a physical action. If the check is unsuccessful, the magician suffers a -2 Dexterity penalty for that round. Light and gaze attacks are resisted at -4 if the same attack would affect both viewers simultaneously. (© 2001, D. Stanley) |
| Shape of the Master (Fiendform) Sor/Wiz 6; [Sirkùli Vereç] | |
| (muát'a Visîktis-Ish'a) Shape of the Master allows a magician to temporarily adopt the form of a Nether denizen. Prep: a piece from the desired creature's body (i.e. scale, hair, tooth, horn, etc.). Casting requires the insertion of the component into a Nidh of the magician's body (i.e. into a cut, into the anus, swallowed, etc.); the component may be retrieved later. If placed into a cut, the cut seals over (with the piece inside) by the end of casting. A component is considered internalized if it cannot be easily removed. (based of Fiendform, MFp93) |
| [Mass Strength] (Mass Strength) Sor/Wiz 6 | |
| (sorád'a Visìktis-Ish'a) ... (based on Mass Strength, Drag275p85) |
| [Mirror Move] (Mirror Move) Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 | ||
|
(aléma Visìktis-Thaldos) Mirror move allows you to reproduce any general feat with an obvious physical effect that you observed another perform within the past 10 rounds, providing you meet the prerequisites for that feat. With a single casting, you may mirror move a number of feats equal to your Intelligence bonus, but always at least one. That is, a caster with an Intelligence of 10 can mirror one feat, while a caster with 18 Intelligence can mirror up to four feats with a single use of the spell. The effects of multiple castings of mirror move do not stack. Each new casting wipes out the previous one. Spellcasters who do not meet the prerequisite(s) for the feat they wish to mirror can sometimes find clever ways around this limitation. The spell conveys all the nuances of the mirrored character's style. Anyone familiar with the copied style should be allowed a Spot check (DC 15) to recognize the similarities. Item Creation Feats and Special Feats can not be duplicated by mirror move. Likewise, Metamagic Feats are too subtle and/or complex to be mirrored.

| Olsur's Detached Eye (Olsur's Detached Eye) Sor/Wiz 2 | |
| (sorád'a Visìktis) This strange enchantment allows the magician to ensorcel one of his own eyes. The enchanted eye may then be removed without ill-effect, and continue to work normally from whatever location (within the spell's range) it is placed. If the spell's duration ends before the eye is re-housed the eye begins to dry and the eye-socket bleeds and issues pain as if the eyeball had just been ripped out. Re-casting of the spell cannot re-attach an eye in this state. (© 2001, D. Stanley) |
| Olsur's Flux (Olsur's Flux) Sor/Wiz 4 | |
| (Nor Halá Visìktis-Thaldos) This cruel spell causes all bodily fluids to rush toward their nearest exits within a target's body. The fluids affected are blood (rush rapidly through system causing bleeding from eyes, ears, nose, and wounds gush at x2 rate), mucus (from throat and nose), feces (from anus), urine (from bladder), stomach contents (from throat). The whole effect is a horrible experience that overrides all other concerns the target might have been occupied with before the spell. After d3 rounds the character the worst of the spell's effects are completed. The victim is Stunned for up to three rounds after which they suffer a temporary -2 Str, --2 Dex, and -2 Con. (© 2001, D. Stanley) |
| [Rapid Strikes] (Rapid Strikes) Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 | |
| (Alemá Visìktis-Ishá) ... (based on Rapid Strikes, Drag275p85) |
| [Ray of Clumsiness] (Ray of Clumsiness) Sor/Wiz 1 | |
| (Nor Alemá Visìktis-Ishá) The energy of the ray stiffens the target's muscles and joints, making it more difficult for the target to move. (based on Ray of Clumsiness, DragAnn5p23) |
| [Ray of Sickness] (Ray of Sickness) Sor/Wiz 2 | |
| (Nor Halá Visìktis-Ishá) The ray makes the target temporarily nauseated. (based on Ray of Sickness, DragAnn5p24) |
|
[Ray of Weakness] (Ray of Weakness) Sor/Wiz 4 |
|
| (Nor Halá Visìktis-Ishá) A dark ray drains the strength of its target, if a successful ranged touch attack is made. (based on Ray of Weakness, DragAnn5p26) |

(Levitation) M1 (Regular; Resisted by IQ + Special) | |
| (Alemá Visìktis) By cupping one's hands over each opposing shoulder, speaking a small incantation, and rising up on tip-toes, the caster will rise slowly into the air. Movement is determined by caster's will, but does not exceed Move 4. Recipients must follow the somatic preparations while the caster speaks the magic words, or the spell does not work. Once the "position" is interrupted, no further controlled elevation or descent can be achieved, but the height reached may continue to be maintained. If the caster or recipient is missing a hand, arm, or foot the somatic component cannot be met and the spell fails. (7 pages) (based on Levitation, GM2p70) | |

| [Cure Disease]
(Cure Disease) F1 (Regular) |
|
| (halá Visìktis) A useful spell, Cure Disease eradicates all disease, illness, and plague from a person's body. The spell is helped by a successgul Diagnosis skill check without which, the spell is at -5. Casting the spell requires the priest draw a circle around the target followed by prayers which the target repeats. If the target cannot repeat the prayers, the casting time is 5 minutes longer. The spell requires a circle of candles and the priest's holy symbol. (based on Cure Disease, GM2p50) | |

| Prerequisites | (Major Healing) |
| Death's Veil F1 (Regular) | |
| (halá Visìktis) This spell allows the priest to return a mortally wounded subject to consciousness , i.e. 0 hit points. The difference between this effect and that of other healings is that the subject may be further healed immediately, without having to wait for a day to proceed. A character brought back through Death's Veil and other healings may act normally once revived. The spell requires the priest's holy symbol and a strip of linen which is tied around the subject. If the linen strip is removed within 24 hours of the spell's casting, the Death's Veil and all subsequent healings vanish. Due to the length of the spell's casting time, it is often wise to bind the wounds of the target before casting this spell. (© 1999, D. Stanley) | |
