Elemental Spells

Mages and Petty Elementalists: There are two different types of elemental spellcasters, Mages and Petty Elementalists. A Mage specializes in one element, and the Petty Elementalist can cast spells of any element.
A Mage's specialization allows them certain privileges within their element. For example, the Fire Mage casts fire spells at 3/4 the cost of manna, and learns the spell at 3/4 the price in gold. In addition, some changes take place in the spellcaster, as the Mage starts to reflect the element that they study. They take reduced damage from spells of their element, and do additional damage to elementals of their inferior. However, they take additional damage from spells and elementals of their superior. All elements have an inferior and a superior. The inferior is the element that is overpowered, and the superior is the element that can overpower them. The superiors and inferiors are as follows:

Primary	Superior	Inferior
Fire	Water	Earth
Water	Air	Fire
Air	Earth	Water
Earth	Fire	Air

ie. Fire's superior is Water, so a Fire Mage takes additional damage from an icicle spell, but Fire's inferior is Earth, so a Fire Mage would do additional damage to an Earth Elemental. In practice, the Mage becomes an Elemental Subtype, and are affected as the Elemental Monsters (See below).
The Petty Elementalist is what the Wizard usually is, ie a spellcaster that can cast spells from all four elements. A Petty Elementalist has no strengths and no weaknesses as far as the different elements of magic are concerned. A Mage is usually half spellcasting and half fighting, similar to an Elf, however their is no rule that says a Wizard Cannot be a Mage.

In addition, a Mage can at any time become a Petty Elementalist, however, a Petty Elementalist can never become a Mage.

Elemental Monsters
Elemental Magic works strangely against Elemental Monsters. Sometimes it does more damage. Sometimes it does less. To see more information see the Elemental Resistances Page for more information.

Spell Colleges: The spellcasters have devoted at least part of their lives to the magical arts. At the beginning of the game, it is assumed that they have a certain number of spells already learned that they don't have to pay for. I recommend the D.M. give each magic user a certain amount of credit to spend on spells. For Elves and Mages, I recommend 150 gc (Gold Coins), and for Wizards and Seers I recommend 450 gc. They may then cast any spell in their repertoire as many times as their manna will allow them to. Spell costs are indicated beside the manna rating of each spell.

The caster then rolls three combat die, and each skull that appears inflicts one body point of damage on all characters. Caster is unaffected. Every character that fails to fully defend the spell is additionally set on fire for 1d4 turns, taking 1 Body Point of damage per turn.

All characters in the spell effect are also set on fire and continue to take 1 Body Point of damage for 1d4 turns. They may resist this damage by rolling 1d6 per Body Point, and on a roll of 5 or 6 the damage is resisted and the fire is extinguished (reoccuring damage stops).


Battle Fire
This spell gives "courage" to all Heroes in the Spell Caster's line of sight. Each Hero affected can then roll 2 extra combat die to attack. The duration of the spell will vary for each hero affected. For each hero under the effects of the spell it lasts as long as there are monsters in the room with them, or lasts as long as they can still "see" a monster.

Pyre Wave
Original Text: This spell causes a burst of fire to burst from the floor that deals 5 Body Points of damage to 3 connected squares the caster can "see" (spaces can be adjacent or diagonal). Monsters defend by rolling 3D6, and each 6 reduces the damage by 1 Body Points.

These spaces are treated identically as a "Falling Block Trap"* and are marked with a Falling Block Trap tile. Targets roll three Combat Die, and for each skull rolled they lose one Body Point. Each target must then move to the closest available open space. Monsters are moved at Zargon's discretion, and heroes (if there are any) are moved at the player's discretion.
*See "Falling Block Traps" in "Milton Bradley" "Player's Handbook".

Earth Fist
By drawing on the primal powers of Earth, the caster causes his or her fist to turn into extremely dense rock for one turn. When attacking with an Earth Fist, the character rolls 7 combat die. Treat as a blunt weapon.

QuickSand
This spell will open up a quicksand pit beneath any character the spellcaster can "see". The character then rolls one combat die for each of his body points. If he rolls a black shield, he is allowed to move one space adjacent. If there are no adjacent spaces available, or if he fails to roll a black shield, he is trapped, and cannot move, attack, or defend. The quicksand takes off one Body Point per round, and the target may continue to try and escape until they succeed or die trying. Once the target has either escaped or died the Quicksand vanishes.

By rolling 2 black shields, the character defends.


Earth Rise
This spell infuses one pebble with a massive amount of Earth Magic. This pebble can then be thrown at any one monster you can "see". In mid-flight, this pebble will transform into a boulder without changing velocity. This boulder will do 2D6 Body Points of damage to whomever is struck. Monsters with at least one open adjacent space may defend by rolling 1D6 per present Body Points. By rolling at least two 6's, the monster dodges and gets to move one space adjacent. The boulder continues forward until is strikes a wall or closed door, or any other character in its path (hero or monster), who may then attempt to dodge

Earth Sink
This spell is the opposite of Earth Rise, and can be used to rob one pile of rocks (Falling Block Trap) of its vital essence. This pile will then shrink in size until it is no more than a pile of pebbles.

Oubliette
This spell will open up a pit underneath one monster the caster can see. The monster then rolls 1D12 for each of his body points. If he rolls a 10 or higher, he is allowed to move one space adjacent. If there are no adjacent spaces available, or if he fails to roll at least 10, he is trapped and cannot move.

This damage continues until they escape or until they die. If they escape the pit vanishes.

Characters adjacent to the wall when it forms take 3 Body Points of damage. 1 Body Point is undefendable, but monsters may resist the last 2 points by rolling 2d6, and for each 6 they roll the damage is reduced by 1 point. The wall prevents movement and line-of-sight through it.


GeoShards
This spell causes 1D6 connected squares the caster can "see" to burst forth with razor sharp crystals. Characters standing on these squares may defend immediately or on a future turn by rolling 1D8 per present Body Points. If Victims roll two 8's, they are allowed to move to one open adjacent space. If they fail to roll two 8's, or if there is no open space adjacent to them, the victim suffers 2D4 Body Points of damage, undefendable. Victims do not have to roll both 8's at the same time. If they roll a single 8 on their first turn, and a single 8 on their second turn, they still escape. A character trapped on one of these squares takes 2D4 Body Points of damage every turn until they escape or die. Treat sharded squares the same as "Falling Block Traps".

Hammer of Cha-Grinda
This spell summons forth a battle hammer in the likeness of the one used by the ancient Earth Spirit, Cha-Grinda. This hammer lasts for 2+1d6 turns, and when using this hammer, you roll 8 combat die to attack. This hammer may only be used by the caster, and may only attack adjacent characters. After 2+1d6 turns, or if the caster ever loses contact with the hammer, it shatters into dust. Note: This hammer automatically clears Falling Block Traps. In addition, if attacking a Fire, Wind, or Water Elemental you may roll 10 Combat Die to attack, but if the hammer is ever used to attack an Earth Elemental, it shatters.

ShatterShock
When invoking this spell, the spellcaster draws on the powers of the stone beneath them, then slams their fist into the ground. This shock creates a mole-tunnel effect for up to 2D6 spaces (the caster can choose less, but not more) straight in any direction the caster chooses. Any characters standing on one of these squares rolls one combat die. On any roll except a black shield, the character is thrown to the closest available space (in any direction) and automatically loses two Body Points and their next turn. Any non-magical doors in its path are also blown open, and any non-magical walls in its path are blasted through (treat as a secret door). Note: This spell passes right under or through magical doors and walls and any other obstruction until it reaches its maximum length. Any character (hero or monster) standing one space adjacent to the line loses 1 Combat Die in both attack and defense for 1 turn due to shock.

Stoneheart Aegis
The caster summons forth stone that seems to infuse one hero (which can be themselves). This spell has two effects: First it fills the hero with the Strength of Earth. If the hero attacks a monster for the duration of the spell and they do at least one Body Point of damage, the spell adds 1 more additional point of damage. Secondly, it imbues the Hero with Earth's Resilience, granting +2 defense dice and +2 Body Points for 1+1D6 turns. These Body Points are infused into the rock that infuses them and are temporary, and as such they can exceed the hero's starting Body Points. The spell lasts 1+1d4 turns. (Once the spell effect ends any Body Points in excess of the hero's starting points are lost.)


Boulder Barrage

Whirling Dervish
This spell may be cast on any one bladed melee weapon, causing a whirlwind to surround the blade. The next time a Hero uses the weapon to attack they may attack every monster they can reach within a one-space radius.

They resist the pull of the water by rolling 1d8 per Body Point, and by rolling an 8 they hold their ground and don't move.


Footnotes
The first note I want to make before I start is that one of the changes that I have made to all of J.D.'s originals is that I have put manna values to them. Also, whenever applicable, I have used the terminology of 1D6 to indicate the roll of 1 "red die", which is the same as a D6.

1. No changes, except for a slight re-wording and an the emphasis on "radius" is mine.
2. Original spell did not specify damage done at a diagonal distance, so that is mine.
3. No changes.
4. The spell functions the same as J.D.'s original, except the squares collapsed are considered to be "Falling Block Traps".
5. This spell in J.D.'s original, was undefendable by monsters. I thought this was unfair, so I leveled the playing field. I also put the defense in the wording of the spell rather than in the prologue.
6. I combined Mr. Frazer's "Float" spell with my "Flight" spell to create a conglomerate spell. The new spell functions the same as the "Float" spell, but it has the additional affect of upping your movement roll.
7. No changes.
8. Slight rewording by Karnov. Original by Milton Bradley.

9. Slight rewording. Original by Milton Bradley.
10. No changes.
