SILENT PROTAGONIST SPELLS

Beacon SimpleYou place a glowing beacon in the air in front of you. The beacon is attuned to your magical energy and it is locked in that location until you form a new beacon. You always have an innate sense of what direction your beacon is in.

Move Simple ongoingChoose an object you can see. You can move that object about as if you were touching it with your own hands. This spell cannot apply any more pressure than you could with your physical muscles, or lift anything that you physically couldn’t lift. When you take damage or stop focusing on the

spell, it ends. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to Undiscovered Power.

Growth SimpleA sprout that you touch will magically grow above and beyond its full length, creating vines thick enough to climb, brush dense enough to provide cover, fruit large enough to eat, or leaves potent enough to use in poultices or alchemy. This spell cannot change a plant’s nature (e.g. an oak tree can’t be made to produce apples).

Convoy level 1When you cast this spell on a backpack, crate, or some similar container, the object you touch will be warped instantly to your Beacon and deposited there. The total weight of the container cannot be higher than your Load.

Regenerate level 1 ongoingThe living creature that you touch when you cast this spell will begin to heal slowly over time. For player characters, this manifests as 1d4 HP in healing every time they roll for a move until you choose to end the spell. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to Undiscovered Power.

Marking level 1 ongoingChoose a target you can see. The target is magically marked in some way you describe. Only you can see the marking, and additionally you are able to sense the direction the marking is in. When you deal damage to something that bears your marking, you deal +1d4 damage. The marking lasts until you dismiss it or the magic is dispelled. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to Undiscovered Power.

Force Field level 3 ongoingYour magic forms an aura of protection around whatever you touch. The aura has 2d4 HP and is maintained until you dismiss the spell or that HP is depleted. The aura absorbs any extra damage when it is broken, so if a 20 damage attack breaks a 1 HP aura, the target doesn’t take 19 damage – they are still fully protected. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to Undiscovered Power.

Thunder level 3A wave of pure noise and force is launched from your hand, dealing 1d4 + 1d6 forceful damage to whatever it strikes.

Looking Glass level 3 ongoingWhen you cast this spell, instead of perceiving your current surroundings you see, hear, and smell whatever is around your Beacon. This effect is maintained until you end it or something distracts you; casting one of your other spells is not considered distracting, but remember that you cannot perceive the area around your physical body – just the Beacon.While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to Undiscovered Power.

Healing Pulse level 5You emit a wave of healing power that restores everyone in the area that you can see and you consider to be a friend or

ally. Choose either to cleanse them of poison and disease, or to heal them for 3d4 HP.

Scan level 7Choose a living creature you can see. You see straight

through its flesh and marrow to the essence of its being. Choose three of the following questions to ask the GM – they will answer you honestly: What instinct is driving this creature? How much damage could this creature do? How much life force (HP) and protection (armor) does this

creature have? What unique abilities or moves does this creature possess? Could this creature be persuaded to be helpful to me?

Sacrifice level 9Choose a corpse you can see whose soul has not yet departed this world. You open a direct channel to Death and may pull that soul back to its body. In exchange, you form a bargain with Death for yourself as if you rolled a 7-9 on Last Breath. The person you revive is fully healed when they return to life.

Protected level 9 ongoingA square mile radius surrounding your Beacon(s) is protected by its power.
