The World of Teréth End - Spells & Magic

"Closing his eyes he commanded the healing to begin.  He felt the failing heart beneath his fingers, but the body protested.  'I am finished' the heart said, 'I have tried, but these wounds are too grave.'  'You will obey these commands,' he instructed the reluctant organ, already resigned to a still death.  'You will bring to this wound all that you can muster.  You will bring your needles, you will bring your thread, and the knitting will begin.'"

- from the Adventures of Adae

Book of Draga Forad

[form (food, sustenance) (poison)]

The art of Draga Forad is commonly employed but usually only found in the spellbooks of food and wine connoiseurs, or poisoners.  In the backwoods villages of the Dekàlan countryside it is not uncommon for housewives to know a small trick of Draga Forad with which to spice a meat, or make the day's bread rise perfectly.

On long journeys, the art of Draga Forad becomes very important to stave off the rotting of vegetables and spoiling of perishables.  Panathan caravaners frequently use these magics to keep fruits fresh during the long haul to Kandal in the spring and fall.

Some have suggested that there are dangers to eating food that has been "created" using the art.  Such agitators have called it Faeri food, and have claimed that it can make Uren sterile, or worse yet, change Uren into Fae.  The reports are widespread but there is little evidence since very few can afford the luxury of having their meals ensorcelled from the Chaos.

Notables of Draga Forad include Old Karal the Arçhek of Ezmir (who reportedly poisoned the children of many towns in the 5th century DR).

Grimoire Infinitum

Spells included here are not those owned or maintained by the sirkùli or cults but rather spells that have fallen into "outside" hands.  Some of these spells have been so widely circulated that ownership is no longer known or recognized.  Sirkùli spells may be found on the individual sirkùla pages.  Cult spells can be found on the individual religion pages.
