Coming of Mage: An Apprentice's Workbook

[OakRover (Joseph L Brown)]

I seem to remember a thread on 'apprentice level spells'; I will need to search for it -- but they collected quite a few. There is also an online resource / spell reference for original spells of all levels.

I would suggest Demon's Eternal Oblivion at level 5. Even at that level, it will destroy a Might of 13.

PeVi Base 3 (reduce Might of target by 3+10); R: Voice (+2); Duration: Momentary (+0); Target: Individual (+0)

Handy for an apprentice to defend themselves vs minor Infernal pests, and it will be useful even against more powerful foes as the Magus advances -- because the penetration total will steadily climb. An apprentice might usefully 'Experiment' with this -- an 'Enhanced Effect' version would be valuable to everyone.

Here are a few resources that I hope will be helpful:

Often, I like imagine a magi with some spells that he launches just for habit, some spells enough little to be in auto-cast. So, I'm lauching in this little challenge. 2 little spells by a day, picking in various form and techniques, max…

A compilation of first magnitude spontaneous spells

Inspired by the recent thread about "Apprentice Enchantments", I'd like to see a similar, communal effort towards a compilation of first magnitude (level 5 or lower) spells. I can't commit to "maintain it" by editing the OP to index all the spells. But if someone wants to make such an indexing post below this one, I'd be all in favour for it. First magnitude spells are extremely interesting because: They can be cast spontaneously without fatigue (and without botch risk!) by even relative youn…

Let's make apprentice created enchantments

It has been quite a while since we've done something like this, so it's perhaps long overdue. There are times where, when looking at the interaction between setting and rules, one realizes that there is a thing must exist in the setting yet has never before been described, such as the extensive network of familiars who write correspondence to one another about magic theory. (We all know that a fair proportion of the letters carried by redcaps are missives written between cats and owls concernin…
