Temple Spells

To learn Temple spells, a mage must know at least 5 Generic spells. The mage must also be a member of the appropriate temple. The spell listed here are the GURPS spells that fit most easily into each of these temples. Some temples have fewer spells only because of a lack of GURPS spells appropriate to that deity. All Temple spells are Mental/Very Hard. Psychic spells are indicated with a '(P)' after the spell name.

New Psychic Spells

 

Hands of Krá the Mighty Missile; resisted by DX

The target is crushed by a powerful telekinetic force. The target must make a DX roll, or take full damage; if the target makes the DX roll, they still take half damage. Armor and shields do not protect against this damage. SS 13, A+1, Max 40.

This spell can also be used as a battering ram to knock down walls, doors, etc.

Class: Generic

Cost: 1 per 1d+1 damage. Maximum of 3d+3.

Prerequisite: Magery 2.

Temples: Avánthe, Belkhánu, Dlamélish and Sárku.

 

The Missile of Metállja Missile

This spell produces a silent, invisible psychic bolt of energy. The caster can choose to physically stun (B106) rather than injure. If more than one point of energy is spent on the stun version of this spell, the target's HT rolls are at -2. SS 13, A+2, Max 30.

Class: Generic

Cost: 1 per damage die; Maximum of 3 dice.

Prerequisite: Poltergeist.

Temples: Ksárul and Thúmis.

 

New Ritual Spells

 

Silver Halo of Soul-Stealing Missile; resisted by Will

Shoots a silvery circle of energy which removes the victim's soul, leaving them mindless. The soul can only be returned with the Resurrection spell.

This spell can be dodged and blocked, but not parried. It can also be deflected by Force Dome, Utter Dome, Missile Shield, Reverse Missiles, Spell Shield (Ritual), and Spell Shield. SS 13, A+1, Max 60.

Class: Generic

Cost: 6.

Time to cast: 3

Prerequisites: Magery 2, 6 Mind Control spells.

Temples: Belkhánu and Hrü'ü.

 

Simple Teleport Area

Instantly transports the targets (caster must be included) to any location the caster occupied within the last 5 minutes and within 100 yards. All targets within the specified radius from the caster are teleported.

If you roll exactly what you need, everyone arrives at the location mentally stunned (p. B106). If you fail by 1, all take 1 die damage and arrive physically stunned (p. B106). If you miss by more than 1, the spell just fails. On a critical failure, the targets go somewhere else, GM's choice. Just don't kill them outright.

Class: Universal

Base Cost: 4 to cast. Cannot be maintained.

Prerequisite: Magery 2, IQ 15+.
