SRD // Barrowmaze Magic-user Spells

Fennril’s Exquisite Strangulation
Level: 1 (Magic-User)
Duration: 2 rounds +1 per level
Range: 20 feet plus 5 feet every 2 levels
This spell allows the caster to reach out with magical energy and strangle a medium-sized or smaller humanoid opponent.
Each round, the victim takes 1d4 hit points of damage plus 1 additional point per level. The caster must concentrate solely on the spell or the effect is broken.
During the strangulation the victim can take no action and will focus solely on attempting to breath. Creatures over 4 HD are unaffected.
Hitzemun’s Blue Feet
Level: 1 (Magic-User)
Duration: 1 turn +1 turn per level
Range: One person by touch
As a boy, the Ice Mage Hitzemun enjoyed going barefoot as much as possible. In fact, his teacher insisted that to master ice magic, Hitzemun should be outside in the winter environment barefoot as often as possible.
Hitzemun discovered that his feet were not the proper type to be outside during the winter, so he developed Hitzemun’s Blue Feet to make his feet immune to damage from cold and freezing temperatures.
As a side effect, Hitzemun found that he could use the spell to gain traction on icy surfaces. The spell also provides +2 on all cold-related saves for the duration of the spell.

Mazakala’s Mucilaginous Effluvium
Level: 1 (Magic-User)
Duration: 1 round
Range: 10 feet +5 feet per level (max 30 feet)
By means of this spell, the caster spews forth a ball of sticky mucilage that s/he can direct toward a single humanoid opponent (or other subject to the Referee’s discretion). The effect lasts for a single round.
The effect is subject to the specific target of the spell. The caster may 1) target the head and blind; 2) target the body and constrain from attacking; or 3) target the foot and immobilize.
Humanoids and/or monsters over 4 hit dice are allowed a save (Spells) at +2.
Mazakala was a young, promising human magic-user, who, after creating this spell, was bitten in half by a Pteranodon while marching to Barrowmaze.
Baltron’s Black Sheen
Level: 1 (Magic-User)
Duration: 1 turn
Range: 5 sq. feet/level
This spell creates a thin sheet of black ice across an area of effect subject to the level of the caster. Any creature that steps onto the black sheen must save (Petrification) or slip, slide, and fall. A fifth level magic-user may cast the icy coating in different ways including weapon handles, rope, or ladders. In these examples, creatures are allowed a save (Spells).
Mazakala’s Glassy Facsimile
Level: 1 (Magic-User)
Duration: Permanent until touched
Range: 30 feet from caster
By means of this spell, a magic-user can create a sparkly phantasmagorical simulacrum of a specific humanoid creature. If the creature beholds its copy, it must make a save versus spells or be completely entranced (unable to function) beyond staring at the glassy facsimile for 1d4+1 rounds before reaching out and touching the phantasm, thereby ending the spell.
The spell has no effect on 4+ hit dice creatures and the caster must have a clear line of sight to the creature being copied.

Baltron’s Effusive Bloodboil
Level: 2 (Magic-User)
Duration: 3 round
Range: One target within 30 feet of the caster
By means of this spell, the magic-user increases the blood temperature of a single humanoid creature.
The spell has an effect that lasts for three rounds. In the first round, the victim burns with fever and sweats uncontrollably taking 1d4 points of damage. In the second round, blood starts dripping from the eyes, ears, and nose, and s/he takes 1d8 points of damage. In the third round, as the Bloodboil dissipates, the victim takes an additional 1d4 points of damage.
The target is allowed a saving throw (Spells) but this only serves to half the damage.
Djriixim’s Purple Haze
Level: 2 (Magic-User)
Duration: Permanent
Range: 30 feet
This spell is similar to the spell Stinking Cloud in many respects. Djriixim’s Purple Haze creates a 20 foot cubed bank of thick purple vapor centered anywhere within range. Any living creatures caught within the vapor will feel disoriented, unable to act (beyond staggering outside the cloud).
This condition lasts as long as the creature is in the cloud and for 1d4+1 rounds after it leaves. Any creature that succeeds in a saving throw (Poison) when leaving the vapor is not affected for the remaining rounds but feels ravenous.
Galaxina’s Scintillating Spark Shower
Level: 2 (Magic-User)
Duration: See below
Range: 25 feet by 10 feet
When this spell is cast, sizzling, crackling sparks leap from the magic-user’s fingertips in an area of effect 25 feet across and 10 feet deep.
All those within the area suffer 2d4 points of damage if they are wearing non-metallic armor, or 4d4 points of damage if they bear metallic armor or weapon.
Victims are allowed a save (Spells) for half damage.
Vitharia’s Vengeful Visage
Level: 2 (Magic-User)
Duration: See below
Range: 0
This spell functions as a lesser version of the 4th level magic-user spell Fear.
This spell creates an illusion that deforms the face of the caster (or accentuates a pre-existing deformity) and inspires terror in living humanoid creatures within an invisible cone (5' wide origin, 20' long, and 15' diameter at the terminal end).
Those who behold the Vengeful Visage panic and flee from fear of the caster if they fail their saving throw (Spells). Victims flee from the caster as fast as their movement rate allows, for a number of rounds equal to half the caster’s level (rounded up). This spell has no effect on blind creatures or creatures of 4 or greater hit dice.
Vitharia was a young elven magic-user of great promise who was defaced when pummeled in the street by thugs.
He was later bludgeoned and eaten by a mimic.
