Sorcerers Tread the Road to Runes
Planar Rift - Spell 740 - Released
Duration: Immediate
Type: Utility
Thought to be hidden forever, the pathways created by the sorcerer known as Nameless, whose body now lies buried beneath ruins in Illistim, have been rediscovered. Nearly lost to all sorcerers, due to Triad's operative Vellinos? efforts, the knowledge has been recovered by the Council of Sorcerous Magic and incorporated into the rote spell list of their circle.
Sorcerers successful in harnessing this magic will be able to scribe magical runes within the confines of a protective circle. A successful casting of spell 740 within the circle, will allow the sorcerer to travel the pathways formed by threads of mana running through the fabric of the lands to a chosen destination.
To use this spell the sorcerer must first obtain a book in which a suitable magical rune has been written.
Next the sorcerer must draw a protective circle using chalk. The surviving scholars of the Sorcerer's Guild caution that only very high quality chalk should be used when the road to be traveled is a long one. Less expensive material may be used for shorter trips.
Once the circle is properly prepared, the sorcerer must draw the rune inside it. Due to the complex nature of the runes and the potential for disaster, the book containing the rune for the desired destination must be held in the hand of the sorcerer while the rune is being drawn.
Finally, the sorcerer is ready to cast Planar Rift. If successful, a pathway will be revealed which the Sorcerer may utilize. If the distance traveled is small the sorcerer may even bring their group with them.
Miscasts have potentially disastrous consequences. Sorcerers are urged to use caution, as rumor has it that failures can lead to unleashing an enraged demon upon Elanthia Study in the lores of demonology can reduce the chance of mishap. Inter-realm teleportation has a base failure rate of 10%, reduced by 1% per every 12 demonology ranks
Instructions for Rune Writers
Using SENSE a sorcerer may discover the rune which is needed to return them to the room they are standing in. This rune may be written in a book which the sorcerer has bound with magic.
A sorcerer may only write runes into a book which she has bonded to, though she may loan her book to another sorcerer and that sorcerer may write the runes it contains into their own chalk circles.
The bond between a sorcerer and her book is very personal. No demonologist can write in a book belonging to another. A sorcerer who has misplaced or sold their book may sever the bond with that book. The sorcerer will then be able to begin writing a new book. The original book, although retaining the runes it has currently, will not be able to have new runes written in it.
Supplies for Spellcasters:
Bonding crystals are available in the summoning chamber of your neighborhood Sorcerer?s Guild.
Rune Books and chalk may be purchased from the nearest alchemist.
