A compilation of first magnitude spontaneous spells

[Erik_Tyrrell]

Wanting to contribute to this I sat down and worked out one spell each for the mentem and imaginem art combinations. That was easy, but getting to a keyboard with sufficient time to type them has been a much larger challenge.

Rector's Explicit Description
CrIm 5
R: Touch, D: Ring, T: Ind.
The caster traces a ring and within that ring an image effecting up to two senses is created. This image persists until the ring is broken. Since this is intended as a spontaneous spell defining which two senses is unnecessary. This spell is frequently used by magi training their apprentices.
(base 2, +1 touch, +2 ring)

A pair of complementary spells suggested themselves from the level 1 intellego Imaginem guideline "Memorize or perfect your memory about an image you have encountered."

Noting Details for Later Perusal
InIm 3
R: Touch, D: Conc., T: Circle
The caster places a group of objects within a circel then casts thsi spell upon the circle. At the time that the caster cast the spell and for as long afterwards as the caster concentrates, they will form exacting memories of their observations of objects that were in the circle at the time of casting. This will allow the caster to later return to their memories and examine them again. A caster who places a book within a circle, casts this spell, and then pages through the book will have formed memories suffent to allow him or her to read the book from their memories at a later time (provideing that they can magically augment the quality of their memory).
(Base 1, +1 touch, +1 concentration)

Recalling the Noted Details
InIm 2
R: Personal, D: Conc., T: Ind.
The caster has their memories of an image they have encountered (such as one created by the previous spell ) perfected for as long as they concentrate.
(base 1 +1 concentration)

Indolent Archmaga's Laundry
MuIm5
R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Ind.
An onject touched by the caster changes both its appearance and its smell for the duration of this spell. The name comes from rumor of an archmaga who always presented an impeccable appearance, her detractors presumed that no one of her position would have "squandered" the time to be so exceedingly well put together.
(base 2, +1 touch, +2 sun)

Palatability of Unpleasant Medicine
PeIm 5
R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Ind.
This spell completely removes the scent of a targeted object until the next sunup or sundown. While the spell is often presented as a way in which to fools children and dogs into taking an unpleasant tasting theriac, it escapes no one's notice that it could also be used to conceal poison (while simultaneously preventing creatures with sufficient magic resistance from consuming it).
(base 2, +1 touch, +2 sun)

Apprentice's Sidestep
ReIm 5
R: Personal, D: Diam., T: Ind.
With the exception of the spell haveing a duration of diameter, this spell functions exactly like Wizard's Sidestep (ArsM5 p147)
(base 2, +1 duration diameter, +1 changing image, +1 moved image matches changes)

Quiet Communication of Intentions
CrMe 5
R: Touch, D: Mom., T: Ind.
By casting this spell, the magus is able to put a single thought into the mind of a person that he or she touches. This has been used to communicate a plan to a grog or other companion without betraying the information to others. It is of especial use to magi with high arts, quiet magic, subtile magic, or deft art (mentem) who can cast it without betraying any obvious clues
(base 4, +1 touch)

Incantation of Emotional Introspection
InMe 5
R: Personal, D: Mom., T: Ind.
By casting this spell the caster can evaluate whether or not they feel a specific emotion and how strong that feeling is. Use of this spell can provide clarity to confused magi and magi fearing that they may be under the influence (magical or otherwise) of others. Parens have sometimes instructed their apprentices to cast it in several ways prior to allowing them to make momentous decisions.
(base 5)

Ephemerally Convincing Story
MuMe 5
R: Eye, D: Conc., T: Ind.
This spell changes the target's memories of a series of events for as long as the caster concentratrates. This can allow a magus to manipulate a target with great success, until magus' mind turns to a different issue.
(base 3, +1 eye, +1 concentration)

Halting Interruption
PeMe 5
R: Eye, D: Mom., T: Ind.
By casting this spell the magus removes the memory of the target concerning the last several minutes of their conversation. By repeated castings a magus can prevent a target from communicating further information by leaving them to repeat what they've already said until a situation devolves into confusion and argument.
(base 4, +1 eye)

Head Bobbing Stare
ReMe 5
R: Eye, D: Mom. T: Ind.
This spell forces the target to fall asleep for a matter of a second or two. This is typically long enough to cause the target to stumble of walking.
base 4 +1 eye
