Banish sends entities from immaterial planes back to their native dimensions. This includes ghosts, demons, elementals, and similar beings (at the GM’s discretion).

Banishing a being is an @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{opposed roll} of the caster’s arcane skill versus the target’s @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Spirit}. @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{Success} means the target is @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Damage Effects]{Shaken}, and each @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{raise} causes a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Damage Effects]{Wound}.

Barrier creates a straight wall 5″ (10 yards) long and 1″ (two yards) tall, of immobile material that conforms to the surface it’s cast upon. Thickness varies depending on what the wall is made of, but is usually a few inches.

This spell allows an individual to speak with and guide the actions of nature’s beasts. The cost to cast is equal to the sum of their @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Size and Scale]{Size} (minimum 1 per creature). Controlling five @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-bestiary.Dog / Wolf]{wolves} (Size −1) costs 5 points (remember the minimum cost of 1), for example. Controlling a rhino (Size 5) costs 5 points.

A @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{raise} on the arcane skill roll means the beasts are more obedient. They won’t kill themselves but overcome their natural fears to follow their orders.

Detect arcana also allows a character to ignore up to 4 points of penalties when attacking foes hidden by @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Light / Darkness]{magical darkness}, @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Invisibility]{invisibility}, or similar abilities (or all @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{penalties} with a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{raise}).

\n

Dispel can be used on a power already in effect or to counter an enemy power as it’s being used. The latter requires the countering mage to be on @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Hold]{Hold} and interrupt his foe’s action.

\n

Divination allows the caster to contact otherworldly beings or forces to gain information.

\n

Preparing the spell takes one uninterrupted minute, and must be done at a site relevant to the spirit being contacted. If speaking with a ghost, for example, the conversation should occur at its grave, where it was killed, or with a personal object in hand. Oracles may only be engaged at temples, fire spirits near open flames, and so on.

\n

After the preparation time is complete, the caster makes her arcane skill roll. @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{Success} allows her to engage with the spirit and ask it any questions she might have. The entity must answer to the best of its ability, as directly or ambiguously as the Game Master feels fits the spirit’s personality and the feel of her campaign. A @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{raise} means the spirit is more helpful, knowledgeable, or direct than usual (whether it wants to be or not). The type of entity contacted determines how it communicates. Spirits in the netherworld tend to know only those things pertinent to their life and death—and they may not even know the identity of their killer if the person was masked or unseen.

\n

Likewise, nature spirits know only about their local environs, demons know only about the affairs they’re directly involved in, and so on. The Game Master must decide what the entity knows based on its background, origin, and personality. Once a spirit has been conversed with it may not be contacted again for 24 hours. The Game Master may extend this to a community of spirits in a single place, such as water spirits in a babbling brook or nameless spirits in a mass grave.

The power is @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{opposed} by the target’s @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Spirit}, and the caster suffers a -2 penalty to her roll if the target has a different @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Arcane Backgrounds]{Arcane Background} than her own.

@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{Success} drains 1d6 of the rival’s Power Points (if any, and the die doesn’t ace). With a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{raise}, the caster adds the points to her own. This may take her above her usual maximum! They last until used, and must be the first spent when casting.

Drain Power Points can also be used on an @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Arcane Devices]{arcane device} (the creator still resists with her arcane skill whether she wields it or not).

Mind wipe removes a target’s memories, a terrible violation in most civilized societies. The power is @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{opposed} by a victim’s @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Smarts} and requires a full minute of mental struggle. The victim must be conscious during this time, so if not restrained he can simply move out of @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Range]{Range}.

If @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{successful}, the victim forgets a single event (up to about 30 minutes of time). A @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{raise} removes a complex memory of several hours.

\n

If the defender wins, the caster cannot affect him with mind wipe for 24 hours. (Others may reattempt the power, however.)

Object reading is the ability to see the past of an inanimate object, discovering who held it, where it’s been, and what it might have been used for. The object has no sentience of its own — the caster simply sees and hears visions of the past that took place in its presence.

\n

@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{Success} allows the character to see events that occurred within 10 yards up to about five years past. A @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{raise} increases this to 100 years and 20 yards. The caster can “fast forward” and “rewind” as desired, skimming about 10 years of history per minute of real time.

With a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{raise}, the target is completely controlled, but gets an automatic @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Spirit} roll as a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Actions]{free action} to avoid directly arming himself or those he cares about.

Perhaps the greatest power of all is the ability to bring someone back from the dead. It can restore lost loves, bring solace to the grieving, and topple kingdoms.

Returning the dead to life requires a reasonably complete corpse no more than a year old. The caster then prays, meditates, chants, or otherwise concentrates on mending the body and pulling the spirit back to it for four hours.

\n

Weapons and other personal effects are assumed into the animal’s form and reappear when the power ends, but other objects are dropped.

He has no capacity for speech and cannot activate @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Powers]{powers}, though he may continue to maintain powers previously active.

\n

A @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Bestiary]{creature’s} natural abilities inherent to its form are conferred, but magical ones aren’t. A @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-bestiary.Dragon]{dragon} can fly and breathe fire in a traditional fantasy setting, for example, so a character who shape changes into one may do so as well. If dragons also cast spells in that world, however, shape change would not grant that ability because it’s not inherent to the physical form.

The ally acts on its creator’s @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Action Cards (Initiative)]{Action Card} and follows her commands to the best of its ability.

Animals and other creatures can also be raised with this foul ability! The cost is 2 for a creature of @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Size and Scale]{Size} -1 or -2, 3 for @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Size and Scale]{Size} 0, and 1 for a Small @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-bestiary.Swarm]{Swarm}, 2 for a Medium Swarm, or 3 for a Large Swarm.

\n

Larger creatures cost 3 + @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Size and Scale]{Size} in Power Points. For example, an undead grizzly (Size 2) costs 5 Power Points to raise.

\n

Magical or supernatural @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Bestiary]{Special Abilities} aren’t conferred to the undead form, but those inherent to the creature are, such as @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Improved Frenzy]{Improved Frenzy}, @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Reach]{Reach}, a swarm’s attack, etc.

\n

Additional zombie creatures cost half their base cost if raised at once, instead of the +1 listed for Additional Zombies (round up, minimum of 1).
