The caster must first decide on a target, a person.
The components of this spell includes a tavern, a table and a bucket of cow blood. The caster must whisper the spell into the bucket and then paint a cross onto the door of the house of the unknowing target. The paint will fade immediately, sucked up by the wood. Leave some blood in the bucket.
During the next night, the caster must start some loose talk around a table in a tavern, spreading rumours of said target.
Next time the sun sets, the witch known as Burn will rise from the bucket, clad in dripping red, and obey the caster until sun rises again (treat as powerful magic-user). Burn will then return to the bucket and transform into cow blood again.
This procedure will repeat forever as long as the bucket is whole, and the target lives, with the exception that Burn will not obey the caster the following nights, but she may act friendly towards him/her (or at least give the impression that she is still friendly).
The target will be in a paralysed state when Burn roams, but will share memories with her each time she returns to the bucket.
Burn hates flowers.
The spell Identikit is a side-effect of casting this spell.
DAYDREAMING
Makes the target believe it's night time when they're awake, and that they're dreaming during the day. That is, when they're sleeping, they think they're awake and that's night all the time, and when they're awake, they think they are dreaming about the day.
It's a rather complicated spell, don't use it, the wizard who came up with this spell did a crappy job writing it down, probably daydreaming about something else.
DECKS DARK
Camouflages a boat, but only during the night.
When sun rises, the boat is black as obsidian, and the surface feels artificial. Everyone who's heard of this spell (sailors most likely) knows you did something naughty last night, like getting past someone.
The boat has also turned into a otherworldly beacon for star sailing entities commonly called Ostoch Tomatmacka. They like brains, and not in the intellectual way.
DESERT ISLAND DISK
Works just like Tenser's Floating Disk, only you need to target a small island. The island will take flight and follow you, trying to land on top of you, unless you successfully give the impression of not knowing it is there.
FUL STOP
Counterspell.
May only be cast as a reaction when someone targets you with a spell.
You may put one punctuation per your character level anywhere in the spell's name or description to alter its effect.
GLASS EYES
Two glass eyes will come rolling, and will follow you around. Forever.
Breaking a glass eye (they are pretty fragile, so stepping on them is sufficient) will release a random spell at a random target - and summon two new glass eyes, who also will follow you around.
IDENTIKIT
Prerequisite: the witch Burn must have been summoned, but not necessarily but the caster of this spell
3d8 tiny (doll sized) humanoids will spring forth from whereever, most likely coming running over a hill.
Their faces are blank, and they're out stealing facial expressions from anything with a face (animals included); an eye there, an ear here, a moustache perhaps. Don't forget the eyebrows.
They're always running.
When all dolls have faces, they will go looking for the witch Burn, whom they will try to defeat with their bare hands. Burn will call for aid from whoever summoned her in the first place (using magic charms).
Where a doll dies, a red poppy will blossom the next day.
THE NUMBERS
You may use any number on your character sheet instead of the result of a dice roll (even after rolling), but that property on the sheet must be treated as its lowest score until next session (e.g. next time your gaming group gets together and play).
For instance, failing a dice roll, you cast this spell and decide to use your strength score instead (succeeding the roll, hopefully). But your strength is now 1 until next gaming session.
PRESENT TENSE
All your senses goes straight up to eleven, your muscles working overtime, your brain is rearranging itself into a matrix of solutions, your eyes are almost popping out so that they can get a nice 360 degree field of view.
For a minute, all your attributes are maxed out. If you need to roll a die, pick the largest one found on the table. You shout when you whisper, and scream when you talk.
When the minute has passed, you revert back to your own self. But all this tension that surrounded you for a short while has left a gaping, sucking vacuum that needs to be filled right now - and it will pull something from the future into the present to balance it all out.
Roll on this table to determine how far into the future the thing is from, along with special qualities (either 1d6 once and read across, or roll twice and read once from each column):
| # | How far | Special |
| 1 | 1 minute | Person, connected to current quest, friendly |
| 2 | 1 year | Person, connected to current quest, hostile |
| 3 | 100 years | Great ruler, related to one PC, upset |
| 4 | 2k years | Unknown monster, related to one PC |
| 5 | 100k years | Any player's former dead character (resurrected in the future), asking about a whale |
| 6 | 2 hours from before the universe collapses | An almost dead whale, carved with runes |
TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SAILOR RICH MAN POOR MAN BEGGAR MAN THIEF
Cast upon any reasonable sized hole to turn it into a one-way portal.
To determine where it leads to, roll 1d8 on the following table and use your imagination to fit the theme (some suggestions provided):
- TINKER: blacksmith; armoury
- TAILOR: fancy shop
- SOLDIER: garrison; city under siege
- SAILOR: port (in a fish barrel); aboard a vessel far away from land
- RICH MAN: underneath a noble person's bed
- POOR MAN: outhouse next to a pub; almshouse
- BEGGER MAN: next to a person begging for their life
- THIEF: prison cell; hideout; tax collector's office
TRUE LOVE WAITS
This spell is actually misspelled; it's true form is TRUE LOVE WEIGHTS (it was transcribed by a drunkard).
In this true form, it will decide - in pounds - how much affection a person has for you.
Which is a pretty boring spell, so it was actually intentionally misheard and mistranslated by another drunkard (her sister, actually) into TRUE LOVE WIGHTS. In this form, several undead entities fly around and cast charms on random people, revealing their innermost desire as a clear symbol above their head.
Which is a pretty chaotic spell, so a third drunkard (their cousin) rewrote it completely into GRUE LOVE BAITS, which just turns people into big kebab skewers.
