Prerequisite Analyze Space, Detect Hidden Object

This spell works in two modes, Read and Write. Once cast, you can switch modes effortlessly. The effect lasts ten minutes.

In Write mode, for the next ten minutes, you leave an invisible trail of magical markers. They last a long time, gradually fading out over about a month. The breadcrumbs are invisible, and can only be detected by this same spell in Read mode.

In Read mode, you see all breadcrumbs within about 3 meters, including ones you just left, and any old ones up to about a month old.

Prerequisite Locate Object

Existing breadcrumb markers can be read from up to “n” meters away, where “n”=1/3 MP spent. For example, a range of 10 meters will cost 30 MP. Whereas a range of 3 meters will cost 9 MP.

This version is recommended if you are in an open area such as forests, deserts, or very wide hallways, etc.

Glitch

Your location becomes unstable. Handy for combat. Basically, you keep bouncing around within an area of approximately 2 square meters. This makes you VERY hard to hit, but also makes it somewhat harder for you to hit targets.

Pass Through

Two objects can not occupy the same space at the same time - or can they? Yes, now they can! This spell can be used to pass an object through another object. For example, you could push an inanimate object through a wall. However, this spell cannot be used to move a living being through an object. For that, you must use Walk Through Walls

Prerequisite Loosen Space, Arrange Molecules, Alter Force

Walk Through Walls

You can walk through walls or enable someone else to walk through walls. Also works on floors and ceilings, rocks, trees, or other objects.

Prerequisite Pass Through

Teleport

Instantly teleport an object or person from one location to another specific location. It is accomplished by folding space so that the two locations exist parallel to each other in space-time, then stepping across or pushing the object into the other space.

A similar effect can be achieved through different means by using Portals. See Transport Object for details.

Time to Cast 1 minute
Difficulty 30
MP cost 20
Power
Duration
Range anywhere within the universe, but not into the beyond
Other
Prerequisite Fold Space

Resize

Scale up or scale down an object by a factor of n. Multiply or divide an objects size by n for n MP.

The tricky part here is that in order to make something bigger, matter must be added. This can be accomplished using several methods:

  1. moving the matter from somewhere else within the universe, in which case you need only locate the correct material, then Teleport (cast separately) it.
  2. moving the matter from the beyond, in which case you would need the right kind of material and you would need to have a “thread” to that material (see examine portal). Requires Retrieve Object cast separately.
  3. creating matter, by converting Energy to Matter (cast separately).

Making something smaller, is slightly easier. Again there are several methods:

  1. moving the extra matter to somewhere else within the universe, in which case you can either specify a particular place or choose a random location, then Teleport (cast separately) it.
  2. Banish (cast separately) the extra matter.
  3. destroy the extra matter, by converting it to energy. Requires Matter to Energy cast separately..
  4. Whatever. Just leave the extra matter here as a byproduct. Requires Arrange Molecules
Time to Cast 5 second
Difficulty 30
MP cost multiply or divide by n for n MP; eg. double or half size for 2 MP, 5x for 5 MP etc.
Power multiply or divide by n, limited only by how much MP is available
Duration until explicitly resized again
Range 10 meters
Other
Prerequisite Analyze Space, Arrange Molecules AND any of the prerequisites listed in the chosen option method descriptions above, each of which must be cast separately
