Warlords Of Kruhl 3e EN:Magic
Commanding the arcane forces of the universe is not as straightforward as performing a mundane activity; if it were, everyone would do it. All magic is opposed, if not by the struggling of the victim, then by the contrariness of the universe as a whole. Using Thaumaturgy or Theology to cast a spell is either resisted by the intended target, or it is a remarkably difficult (DV 6) task when the target is not a person or creature.
Aspects
The more aspects a spell has, the greater its cost in Arcane Power or Sacred Power. Each aspect increases the cost by 1 Arcane Power or Sacred Power.
- Range: Spell has range beyond hand-to-hand (maximum range based on the caster's Power Level)
- Duration: spell lasts beyond a single turn (maximum duration in rounds equal to "general effect", based on the caster's Power Level)
- Area: spell affects everything within an area (maximum area based on the caster's Power Level)
- Salvo: spell affects multiple people simultaneously (maximum number of targets equal to "general effect", based on the caster's Power Level)
- Damage: Spell inflicts Endurance damage
- Summoning: Spell summons a creature to aid the caster (maximum attributes of creature equal to "general effect", based on the caster's Power Level)
- Unnatural: Spell has a result that does not occur in nature
- Production: Spell has an otherwise ordinary effect that would take a person or persons more than a day to accomplish
