D'arque Magic

  • This school deals with the magic of shadows and the night drawing most of their spells from the shadowscape.
  •  

    D'arque Armour Range: Line of sight
    Duration: 1 round per WIS
    Save: None
    Mana: 15
    This spell creates an armour of d'arqueness which instead of taking damage absorbs it and sends it into the Shadowscape. It can take 1 damage per WIS + an equal amount per level, + however much mana the caster invests into it in a 1 for 1 ratio.
    D'arque Betrayal Range: Touch or line of sight
    Duration: 4 rounds per 5 WIS
    Save: Standard
    Mana: 25
    This spell allows the caster to attack the victim's shadow and have the damage transferred directly to the victim's HPs. This essentially allows him to bypass any armour or fields.
    D'arque Blow Range: Line of sight
    Duration: 4 rounds per 5 WIS
    Save: Standard
    Mana: 15
    This spell allows the caster to have his arm or leg emerge through the victim's shadow and attack him from behind.

    D'arque Exorcism Range: Line of sight
    Duration: Instant
    Save: Standard
    Mana: 25
    This spell banishes any Shadow entities in the area back to their home plane. This includes Shadows who have possessed a lifeform. A Shadow which successfully saves instead loses half its HPs.
    D'arque Hell Range: Touch
    Duration: 1 hour per WIS +1 hour per level
    Save: Standard
    Mana: 25
    This spell causes the victim to fixate unreasonably on the subject of his fear to the point where he starts seeing things out of the corner of his eye related to the fear. As the day goes on the victim becomes more and more divorced from reality, which becomes more eerily surreal and seems to conspire against the victim digging up long buried memories and forcing him to confront the fear in the most dramatic manner possible. These episodes only occur when the victim is alone but the victim will seem paranoid and jumpy seeing hallucinations and mishearing conversation in the worst way.
    D'arque Hiding Range: Line of sight
    Duration: 1 hour per WIS
    Save: None
    Mana: 30
    With this spell the caster creates for himself a dwelling inside a shadow. The temporary home is 1 metre squared per WIS and can be entered by anyone the caster allows in. The area can be shattered by a powerful light being shone on it.

    Mana: 10
    This spell paralyses any spirit or astral entity.

    Duration: 4 rounds per 5 WIS
    Save: None
    Mana: 10
    This spell allows the caster to speak to someone he knows by talking through the recipient's shadow. This is auditory only, there is no visual. However if the caster prefers he need not speak and instead just listen in to whats going on near the recipient.
    D'arque Revelations Range: Touch or line of sight
    Duration: 4 rounds per 5 WIS

    D'arque Shadowplay Range: Touch or line of sight
    Duration: 4 rounds per 5 WIS

    Mana: 20
    This spell allows the caster to animate and control a victim's own shadow. It may be commanded to do such things as take away a weapon or directly attack the victim. The shadow's combat stats will be the same as its victim's. It is however susceptible to light.
