Kamikaze Oryctolagus Flammula


What's it called
? Kamikaze Oryctolagus Flammula (in short, KOF)

What does it do? One of the best single-hitting offensive spells, this spell will summon a varying horde of fire-bunnies which will start crashing and burning into your target. As to their number, it will vary depending on skills; they come in waves, the next one smaller than the previous one; nice methods and offensive should give arround 12 bunnies for the first group. 6 will be the staple at mediocre bonuses, and 4 can come in the worst of cases.
The damage they give is quite small, but adds up (it's one of those 'damage over time' spells), specially if you keep casting other offensive spells on the poor sod or proceed to mergings (that is, casting the spell again while the first cast is still in effect; this will merge the carrots involved -while throwing rabbits, the used carrot floats on top of the victim- and throw out a higher number of bunnies per wave. The danger is that re-casts while many bunnies are already coming out may lead to a failure, and the bunnies attacking the caster).
Two more virtues of the spell are that skills requirements are quite low (meaning it can be cast from early ages, even though it won't do much damage then) and the fact that, once cast, it is unavoidable: your running victim won't be able to elude them or hide while under its effects.
Overall, the spell is very useful, its main setback being the frequent use of carrots needed (and each costs almost a dollar, although they can be harvested for free in some places), that the damage only affects one victim, and over an extended period of time, and that trolls are greatly protected against its fire damage. Actually, the spell *can* be cast on more than 1 person, but it will spend a huge amount of gps (the whole amount used for the spell for each additional victim), cause less damage per head and have a greater chance of miscasting.

Where is it? As would be appropiate for a spell that consists of magically burning and wicked bunnies, it is only fit that it should lie in the charred pages of the Spelles of thee Arte of Fyre grimoire, at the Unseen University Library.

What does it require? A torch and a carrot. This second item is consumed, not so much in the casting as at the end of the bunny-waves, when it flickers out of existence.

What skills do I need? Convoking, Fire, Convoking (2), Fire (2)

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

You prepare to cast Kamikaze Oryctolagus Flammula on xxx.
You wiggle your eyebrows around a bit.
You think about a nice, big, orange, burning carrot.
You point at xxx.
You ceremonially set fire to the carrot with the torch.
The carrot floats up and hovers above xxx.
X fire bunnies leap out of the ground and throw themselves at xxx.

Duander’s Thaumic Luminosity Disperser


What's it called?
Duander’s Thaumic Luminosity Disperser (in short, DTLD)

What does it do? Duander's is the spell to use for the simple purpose of getting rid of magical lights. This mainly applies to the spammy blue one(s) invoked through Master Woddeley's Luminiscent Companion, although it probably works just as well with the colourful moths from the Agatean light spell, Union of the Phoenix and the Divine Dragon (and probably too, in the pk arena, as an extinguisher of other's magical lights).
Nowdays it is a toy spell, as its main real purpose (aside from taskmastering) was to avoid unfortunate deaths in fights against one's own light (a sad result of 'kill all'). Since the command 'shoo' is on the game, light dispersing has become an unnecessary, albeit very stylish, way of sending them away.

Where is it? As it fiddles with the fire-and-light properties, it is appropiately found in the Spelles of thee Arte of Fyre grimoire, at the Unseen University Library.

What does it require? Just a magical light (to disperse it)

What skills do I need? Chanting, Fire, Channeling, Banishing

Has it worked? A correct output should be something like this:

You prepare to cast Duander's Thaumic Luminosity Disperser on xxx (light)
You utter the chant of the flame.
You attempt to detect the living fire in the xxx.
You shut your eyes and think of a candle flame.
You visualise snuffing out the candle.xxx vanishes in a gout of green flame.

Duander's Thaumic Luminosity Disperser is a miscellaneous type spell that attempts to get rid of any magical lights at which it is targeted.

Bifram’s Amazing Fireworks


What's it called?
Bifram’s Amazing Fireworks (in brief: BAF)

What does it do? It is the other firework spell, the little sister to Atmospheric Inscription Wonder. This spell also inscribes a piece of text in the skies, which is seen by all the people around (in *shout range). The difference is that in this one you don't choose a text, it is your name that automatically gets firewritten. Narcissistic, really.

Where is it? It also hides in the Spelles of thee Arte of Fyre grimoire, at the Unseen University Library.

What does it require? As to components, only a torch, which is consumed in the casting process.

What skills do I need? Animating, Fire, Binding, Channeling (Same as AIW. Big surprise?)

Has it worked? A correct output should read something like this:

You prepare to cast Bifram's Amazing Fireworks.
You awaken the torch with words of power.
You summon a salamander from the fiery wastes of the eighth hell.
You bind the fiery spirit to the torch, whispering the eight secret names of the Lord of Hell to subdue it.
You draw upon the powers of fire, pouring them into the torch.
A small dot of flame shoots up from your hand and vanishes into the sky.


Notes: This is what is seen by yourself and the other players after a casting.
Right above you you see: A light flashes up high into the sky trailing grey smoke behind it.
Right above you you see: The light wizzes around in circles making a high pitched whizzing noise.
Right above you you see: The dot bursts open sending brilliant green streamers of light to all the corners of the sky.
Right above you you see: With a sudden resounding bang, the streams rush back together to form [spellcaster’s name] which hangs in the sky before slowly vanishing.

Atmospheric Inscription Wonder


What's it called?
Atmospheric Inscription Wonder (in brief: AIW)

What does it do? It is one of two firework spells; this one (the more elaborate) inscribes the message the caster desires in the sky, amongst light and fire, wherein it is seen by all of the people who may be around (same range of effect as a *shout, it seems). A toy spell, nevertheless it shows a great deal of beauty in its feedback, and it is a wizardly and nicer way of sending messages and doing publicity than just shouting or hiring shouters.

Where is it? It sleeps until learnt in the Spelles of thee Arte of Fyre grimoire, at the Unseen University Library, quite near the entrance.

What does it require? A quill and a torch, both of which are consumed in the process.

What skills do I need? Animating, Fire, Binding, Channeling

Has it worked? A correct output should read something like this:

You prepare to cast Atmospheric Inscription Wonder.
You awaken the torch with words of power.
You summon a salamander from the fiery wastes of the eighth hell.
With the quill, you pin the fiery spirit to the torch.
You draw upon the powers of fire, pouring them into the torch.
A small dot of flame shoots up from your hand, hovers above your head and suddenly flashes brightly, forming itself into an imp.
[firewrite xxx]
The fiery imp grimaces.The fiery imp seems to implode on itself, leaving behind a small dot of flame which shoots up into the sky.

Notes: As you may see, the spell requires a specific command, 'firewrite', after the imp appears. The syntax is: firewrite xxx (the phrase you want to appear in the skies. There's a limit to the number of words).
This part isn’t properly the ‘casting’ but the consequences, and what the caster and those in range see as an adittion to room events and descriptions.
Right above you you see: A small dot flashes up high into the sky
Right above you you see: The dot suddenly bursts open revealing bright multicoloured streams of flame that pour down towards the ground.
Right above you you see: Just as you thought the streams had faded to nothing, they shoot back up into the air, giving a final brilliant yellow colour before vanishing entirely.
Right above you you see: As it fades you think you see the letters “xxx” in the gradually disappearing smoke.

Help information:
Atmospheric Inscription Wonder - Write words in the sky.

Atmospheric Inscription Wonder is a miscellaneous type spell that with the aid of pyrotechnics will write a message of your choosing across the sky.
