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 Kadàktis
[form (mind, thought)]
Draga Cadactis is the Form of magic and its relationship to the mind and its thoughts. Some believe that the mind is the source of magic, others believe that the mind is sensitive to ambient magic. Scholars who study Draga Cadactis agree that thought issues from the brain or head, and that control of thought must concentrate on the head. Furthermore, most agree that emotion issues from the heart, not the brain. Given this dual source for emotion and thought, the mind is believed to be a combination of the two. Cadactis, meaning "mind", refers to both.
There are no modern studies of psychology on Terèthor.
Maladies of the mind are believed to be caused by curses, demons,
guilt, sickness, and other causes. The asylums that exist in the
post-Dekàlas regions serve as containment centers for the mad and
possessed. Such is the horror of these places that those imprisoned
there become mad if the condition had not existed previously.
Scholars of Draga Cadactis have a keen interest in madness and commonly associate themselves with asylums. There, the study of the unleashed brain can be studied away from the notice of the populace.
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.

Cleric Domains
In addition to the domains described in the Player's Handbook, various deities in the World of Teréth End may choose from these domains.
|
|
|
| Deities: Taros Granted Power: Once per day you may use the supernatural ability, Face of Fear. The ability increases your Intimidate skill checks by +4 and adds +2 caster levels to spells within the Fear Domain. The Face of Fear lasts one round per caster level, and halves the character's charisma versus all checks not related to fear (i.e. Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise...) for the duration of the effect. |

This enchanment, cast with the circling of one's palm, renders the subject oblivious to all events happening around them.

If the victim does not resist he gently falls asleep for 8 hours.

| Saarul's Eyesigil:
Enemies (Sense Foes) M1 (Information; Area) |
|
| (ka shurt oradá Kadàktis) Saarul's Eyesigils are arcane symbols tattooed to the wizard's eyelids. When the appropriate words are spoken and the eyes of the caster are closed, the particular sigil glows and grants the wizard secondary sight. In this instance, the sigil allows the caster to see hostility in those around him. When inactive, the sigils are invisible. If any two sigils are drawn atop one another, the wizard must make a HT check or be struck blind. (8 pages) (based on Sense Foes, GM2p28) | |

| Casting Time | 1 second + Special |

| Skaulan Tongueknot
M1 (Information/Regular; Resisted by IQ) |
|
| (nor endàrtá Kadàktis) Similar to (Truthsayer) spells, the Skaulan Tongueknot causes the speaker to stutter whenever a lie is spoken. The victim must consciously know the sentence is a lie, to suffer the effect. The spell has no physical manifestations but rather prevents the victim from communicating lies clearly. The spell is not divinatory since it relies on the victim's knowledge of what is untrue. The spell is cast quietly. The caster draws his fingers left to right across his lips while looking at the subject. Although the victim may resist the spell, they do not necessarily know that it has been cast. The spell is written in Dekàlan, but has no verbal components. (6 pages) (© 1999, D. Stanley) | |

M1 (Regular; Resisted by HT) |
