Sorklin's Field of Protection


What's it called?
Sorklin's Field of Protection (in brief, SFP)

What does it do? This spell is the poor man's Transcendent Pneumatic Alleviator. It creates a magical protective shield around the caster (or the person on whom it is cast) which will soak up a number of hits before breaking. The stages of shield resistance are shown by the colour it adopts, ranging from invisible (top protection) to flickering yellow (about to break). For more information on the colours, check the future entry on TPA.
The spell is only of marginal use for very young wizards, as it doesn't spend a component and has quite low requirements. Nevertheless, you should be working to switch to its upgraped version as soon as possible.

Where is it? As it protects in a very small degree and doesn't consume components, it belongs to the class of Begynners' Magick spells found at the gyms of most magic-teaching facilities.

What does it require? A shield, that is used for focus and isn't consumed in the process.

What skills do I need? Evoking, Air, Channeling

Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:

You prepare to cast Sorklin's Field of Protection on xxx.
You consider the function of a shield.
You send your thoughts probing into the air around yourself.
You weave a magical impact shield around yourself.
With a noise that sounds like “Plink!”, everything around you flashes red for a moment.

Help Information:

Sorklin's Field of Protection - float a small shield around.

Sorklin's Field of Protection is a zeroth order defensive spell which places a magical impact shield around the target.

Skeetbraskin's Fuliginous Perdition


What's it called? Skeetbraskin's Fuliginous Perdition (in brief, SFP2)

What does it do? One of the (relatively) new daemonologist spells, Skeetbraskin's works as a counter-spell to Turnwhistle's Effulgent Autiridescence. The latter turns any item into a light source similar to yellow stone rings. The former cancels that effect and makes the item normal and 'light-free' again.
Overall, the spell is quite useless, unless you are a very regular caster of TEA. Still, I wouldn't complain about the addition of any new spell, whatever it may be...

Where is it? As it brings forth evil slime for its light-extinguishing purposes, it follows it should lie inside the My Firste Demon-Summoning Booke! By Beatrix Faust grimoire, at the Unseen University library.

What does it require? Nothing. An item that has previously had TEA cast over it.

What skills do I need? Summoning, Abjuring, Conjuring, Banishing

Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:

You prepare to cast Skeetbraskin's Fuliginous Perdition on xxx.
Whispering the secret names of darkness and pain, you dip your left hand into the shadows beyond the edge of the Disc and withdraw a handful of oozing, writhing, squamous slime.
You snarl a Word of Compulsion at the demonic slime coating your hand, abjuring it from devouring your fingers.
You raise your hand dramatically, lofting a writhing blob of cold, corrupt darkness at xxx.
You shake the remainder of the demonic slime from your hand, sending it spattering across the lower dimensions whence it came.
The demonic slime lands on xxx with a loud GLUP, sinking into the surface and leaving behind a faint lightless black patina. The world seems a little darker now.

Help Information:

Skeetbraskin's Fuliginous Perdition - summon demonic slime from the darkness beyond the edge of the Disc to remove inherent light from an object.

Skeetbraskin's Fuliginous Perdition is a zeroth order offensive spell which will turn an item enchanted with Turnwhistle's Effulgent Autiridescence into an ordinary non-glowing item.

Scolorid's Scintillating Scribbling


What's it called? Scolorid's Scintillating Scribbling (in brief, SSS)

What does it do? It allows you to employ some magic and your finger for writing messages on things. The said lines will be invisible to all except for those of the magic persuasion (wizards and witches).
The characters admit the use of colour, and when you look at an item affected by the spell, you will see the scripture 'Written in softly glowing letters'.
Overall, it is a toy spell that can come quite useful for easy recognition of blorpled ring locations, being cheaper than engraving...

Where is it? We're talking about one of the first spells every wizard is able to cast, so it aptly resides inside the Begynners' Magick grimoires that are to be found at most magical facilities in the Disc.

What does it require? A finger (choice of 1 in ten!), which isn't consumed in the process. Maybe unsharpened... Okay, no component at all.

What skills do I need? Evoking, Binding, Convoking, Enchanting

Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:

You prepare to cast Scolorid's Scintillating Scribbling on xxx.
You hold your hand as if you had a pen on it.
You slowly straighten your hand so the finger is pointing at xxx.
The end of your finger starts to glow slightly.
Enter the words you wish to write on xxx. You may use up to 88 characters.
