Day Fourteen: Atlantean Magic
I left open my polls, but as the feedback seems to think it's mostly balanced as proposed, I'm going ahead. These spells are an attempt to make or break that balancing, and see whether that virtue is worth playing with.
Intuition of waterlife
Intellego Animal 25
R: Touch, D: Conc, T: Body-of-water (size +3)
After casting this spell, the caster gets a mental image of the animals currently inhabiting or swimming in a given body-of-water. This spell is sufficient to affect the largest rivers of Mythic Europe, or lakes and seas of up to 1000 sq. km in area. The images flash through his mind at a rate of one per second while the caster concentrates, in order of the species closest to the caster, which may have multiple individual animals in the same picture. For very large body of water, it's entirely plausible that some species are never revealed during the duration of this spell. The caster can decide to hold an image in his mind - this is enough to affect those animals with further spells, such as Decree of the Atlantean (RoP:M 90), if he can cast while holding his concentration.
(Base 1, +1 Touch, +1 Conc, +3 Body-of-water, +3 size)
Icy Lake of Drowning
Rego Aquam 45
R: Touch, D: Conc, T: Body-of-water (size +1)
Fills the surface of a small lake (no more than 10 sq. km) or small tributary river (no more than 90 km in length) with large, jagged chunks of ice that pound against anything on the water’s surface. The ice can punch holes in small boats but does not damage ships. Any swimmers in the area take +15 damage, and suffer –6 and two extra botch checks on Swim rolls.
(Base 5 (for the violent pounding), +2 Voice, +1 Concentration, +3 Body-of-Water Part, +1 size, +1 additional effect, changing the water to ice)
