Spirit Arcana

placeholder description

Spirit Sight	Mp Cost: 4+ (5+)
	Difficulty: 11 (12)
Requirements: Spirit Arcana (Novice)
Spell Type: Utility	Cast: Major Action
Test: None
You can see spirits within your normal sight range. You also can track an object you have put a blood mark on or a living creature whose blood you have a sample of. You can get a sample of blood from any weapon that has damaged the target in combat. When you first cast the spell, you will know if the target is within a mile of you and if so, what direction. This lasts for 10 minutes and you can keep it active for 2 MP per further 10 minutes.This acts like a beacon but the spell has no intelligence behind it. It can’t tell you how to navigate a maze to find the target, for example—only that the target is “that way.”

Bloodmark	Mp Cost: 3 (4)
	Difficulty: 9 (11)
Requirements: Spirit Arcana (Novice)
Spell Type: Utility	Cast: 1 minute
Test: None
You inscribe an object or creature with an arcane mark with a piece of your spirit that remains until you dismiss it (a free action). It requires a drop of your blood, although the mark itself is invisible to the naked eye. You can maintain a number of blood marks equal to your Willpower at any one time. You know the direction of all marks you have active, but not the distance, but once an object has a bloodmark on it, you can track it with the Spirit Sight spell.

Regrowth	Mp Cost: 3 (5)
	Difficulty: 10 (13)
Requirements: Spirit Arcana (Novice)
Spell Type: Utility	Cast: Major Action
Test: None
You infuse wood with a burst of life-force. This causes a piece of dead wood to temporarily return to life, sprouting branches, roots, and even leaves. It twists and warps wooden objects like furniture, doors, chests, or even weapons or shields, making them unusable. Used on a seed, it matures into a hearty sapling in an instant, while a mature tree enjoys a year’s growth, immediately giving forth fruit or seeds as appropriate.

	Difficulty: 10 (13)
Requirements: Spirit Arcana (Journeyman)
Spell Type: Attack	Cast: Major Action
Test: Dexterity (Acrobatics) vs. Spellpower
Tough, gnarled roots spring up from the ground to grab and entangle targets in a 4 yard by 4 yard area within 20 yards of you that you designate. Those affected must make a Dexterity (Acrobatics) test against your Spellpower. Failure means the target is trapped and rooted to that spot for the duration of the encounter (though they can fire ranged weapons, cast spells, and take other actions that do not involve moving). Trapped targets can make a Strength (Might) check against your Spellpower as a major action to tear free of the ensnaring roots. Anyone moving through the area affected by the spell has a –5 penalty to speed.
