Allows the caster to enter a deep trance and summon and communicate with one specific spirit. The spirit must be either known to the caster, or described to him (the dead mother of a friend, for example). If the spirit is personally known to the caster, there will be a +10 to MA to cast the spell. This spell gives no control over the spirit, and communication depends on a common language. It does not guarantee that the spirit will speak the truth, or cooperate in any way with the caster. NOTE: Due to the nature of the Ethereal World, there is a 5% (re-roll after a successful cast) chance that the summons will go awry, and the wrong spirit will arrive...one that is hostile and inimical.
100: The caster loses consciousness for one hour and takes BC10 Psychic damage.
1: The caster can tell whether the spirit is lying or telling the truth.

Allows the caster to cause any one willing creature to become preternaturally alert, enhancing hearing and vision, and giving a +20 bonus to Perception and Intuition. Hearing and visual range is doubled. Because of the extreme sensitivity of sight and hearing, any sudden flash of light will blind the recipient of this spell for 1/2 hour; any sudden loud sound will deafen him for the same period.
100: The caster is blinded and deafened for 1 day.
1: No Power Points used for the initial cast.
__**Level 9 - Trance**__
Spell Cost: 7/1, Duration: 30 minutes/10 minutes, Components: M, Type: Ritual, Range: Self, Save: N/A, Area of Effect: Caster.
By entering a trance, the mystic is able to drown out painful and irritating external stimuli and focus upon a single task. He cannot change tasks until the duration expires or he makes a Will save, which also ends the spell. Due to the ability to ignore the pain and stress on his body, the mystic gains +30 to the Skill or Stat applicable to the task he is performing. The task must be completed within the duration to gain the benefit of this spell.
100: Mystic becomes very lethargic, taking BC8 Psychic damage and suffering a -30 penalty to all rolls for 5 rounds.
1: Bonus is +50.

Spell Cost: 15, Duration: 15 minutes, Components: M, Type: Ritual, Range: Self, Save: N/A, Area of Effect: Caster.
With this spell, the Mystic is able to remove poisons and diseases from his body. Requires a successful Meditation roll. Exceptionally powerful poisons and diseases may receive a save to resist this spell. If failed, the mystic may not try to remove the same toxin/disease until he gains a level.

Allows the caster to detect the presence and approximate location of any living creatures within the area of effect. If no living creatures are present, the caster will know that.

This spell requires the caster's total concentration; the caster can take no action other than walking for the duration of the spell.
100: The caster is blinded and deafened for one hour.

Allows the caster to move one object or creature of up to (Will x 5) pounds in weight, without touching it. If an object, the target must be within the range of the spell, and the caster must be able to see it. If it is a creature, the caster must touch it. The target will move in any direction the caster chooses at the rate of 10 feet per round. The integrity of an object cannot be violated; thus the caster cannot move a stone on a ring without moving the ring itself. If the object is a container, the contents will also be moved. This spell requires total concentration.
100: The caster loses consciousness for BC10 rounds.
1: The weight limit and movement rates are doubled.

Allows the caster to raise the flash point of any combustible creature or object and start a fire. If the fire is centered on a creature, it takes 3BC10 points of Fire damage and is ignited for 5 subsequent rounds. The creature will take BC6 points of Fire damage per round. An ignited target may spend the remainder of the round putting out the flames if he has at least one action remaining or was just disrupted, or one action in a subsequent round. Ignition damage is taken at the beginning of each subsequent round. If the spell is centered on an object, the object will burn until consumed or until the fire is put out.
100: The caster miscalculates and causes himself to ignite, with full damage.

----
**__Level 16 - Restore Psyche__**
Spell Cost: 20, Duration: Permanent, Components: M/S, Type: Ritual, Range: Touch, Save: Special, Area of Effect: One creature.
The ritual takes 15 minutes to complete, during which physical contact must be maintained. Breach of contact cancels the spell immediately. This spell allows the Mystic to free the mind of any sort of insanity, amnesia, mental disability, or even mental control. If the target is unwilling, he may save vs Willpower/2 to resist the spell. In the event of direct mental control (as in possession), the controlling entity is the one to make the save, success indicating that it resists the spell, and retains control (in some cases, it may even have the option of attempting to control the caster, as well). If this spell fails, the mystic may not attempt it on the same target again until he gains a level.
100: Caster loses the ability to cast spells for 1 week.
1: No save is allowed.
----
__**Level 17 - Psychometry**__
Spell Cost: 15, Duration: Special, Components: M/S, Type: Ritual, Range: Touch, Save: N/A, Area of Effect: One object.
This is a more powerful version of the Level 3 Mystical Spell 'Object Read.' It allows the caster to learn much more information about an object. It can be used, for example, to learn the location of a person from reading an article of the person's clothing. The history of an object, as well as possibly its maker can be learned, as well as the object's magical properties, uses, and charges, if any. Any curses that have been placed on the object will be immediately activated by this spell. The caster must enter a trance for one-half hour while touching the object. It is advisable for the caster to arrange some kind of protection before entering the trance, just in case.
100: The caster suffers a backlash of 2BC10 Psychic damage, and will be unable to cast spells for one day.
1: No power points used. Curses, if any, on the object will be known but not activated.
----
__**Level 18 - Disembodiment**__
Spell Cost: 15/1, Duration: 30 minutes/10 minutes, Components: M, Type: Ritual, Range: 0, Save: N/A, Area of Effect: Caster.
The caster enters a trance lasting 10 minutes and causes his ethereal spirit to temporarily detach from his body. The body is left in a state of metabolic suspension, slowing bodily functions to the extent that only a person skilled in Medicine, or certain spells, can detect its life force. The spirit cannot fight, cannot take physical damage, and gains a +20 bonus to any save vs spells. It cannot speak, nor cause any physical effects. The spirit can walk through physical barriers of any type, but cannot penetrate magical barriers. Hearing, sight, as well as stats like Will, IQ, etc. remain normal. The spirit is not completely invisible, but rather a wraithlike form. A roll vs Intuition is required to notice the spirit. If the body is injured during this spell, it takes double damage from injuries. If 75% or more Stamina is lost, a roll vs Will must be made, or the spirit will be 'lost' and the body dies.
100: The caster enters a deep trance from which he cannot be awakened, lasting 2 days. No Disembodiment takes place.
1: Initial duration is doubled, if desired. No Power points used.

__**Level 20 - Medium**__
Spell Cost: 18, Duration: One minute per level or special, Components: M, Type: Ritual, Range: Special, Save: N/A, Area of Effect: One spirit.
Allows the caster to enter a deep trance and summon and communicate with one specific spirit. The spirit must be either known to the caster, or described to him (the dead mother of a friend, for example). If the spirit is personally known to the caster, there will be a +10 to MA to cast the spell. This spell gives no control over the spirit, and communication depends on a common language. It does not guarantee that the spirit will speak the truth, or cooperate in any way with the caster. NOTE: Due to the nature of the Ethereal World, there is a 5% (re-roll after a successful cast) chance that the summons will go awry, and the wrong spirit will arrive...one that is hostile and inimical.
100: The caster loses consciousness for one hour and takes BC10 Psychic damage.
1: The caster can tell whether the spirit is lying or telling the truth.
