Spellbooks

Spellbooks contain a single spell. Anyone can cast a spell by holding a Spellbook in both hands and reading its contents aloud. Casting a spell adds one (1) fatigue. If they are in danger, a WIL save may be required to avoid terrible consequences. Some spells allow multiple levels of fatigue to be taken to enhance their effect.

Scrolls are similar to Spellbooks, however:

  • They do not cause fatigue, nor can additional fatigue be taken to enhance their effect.
  • They disappear after one use.

Casting

Unless otherwise specified, spells take 1 action to cast. Spells cannot be cast when encumbered.

Duration

Unless otherwise specified, spell effects last for 10 minutes per fatigue taken.

Casting Interruptions

A spellcaster who is in melee range of an enemy while casting a spell must make a WIL saving throw. If he fails, no effect takes place.
