Sarch's Glare ⸻ Ob ⌊Target’s Will or Forte⌋ ⸻ 5 Actions
Arcane power flares from the brow of the sorcerer, and his eyes become scintillating stars of fear.
The target is interrupted and frozen; their limbs go dead; paralysed and pacified. They are evoked to gaze upon you and do nothing else. The obstacle is the target's Will or Forte, whichever is the lowest. In addition to sustaining the spell, the you must also remain within line of sight of your target.

Shards ⸻ Ob 2^ ⸻ 1 Actions
With a gesture, the sorcerer gouges massive splinters from nearby wood or stone and flings them with great velocity and ferocity towards a target.
Damaging spell effect. Leaves deep grooves in the material used as the source of the shards, destroying up to 1D from your target’s shield (if they have one) (and if it’s mundane).

Sight of the Eagle ⸻ Ob [Target’s Perception] ⸻ 5 Actions
Light sharpens, and that which is distant becomes clear.
Allows you or your target to see great distances clearly, granting +1D to an appropriate Perception test. For the purpose of shooting skill tests the recipient of the power also counts Extreme Range (Ob 3) as Optimal (Ob 2) in RnC.

Silent Servant ⸻ Ob 3-6 ⸻ 5 Actions
The witch places her hand on the loamy soil, and pulls up from it a figure of clay and roots and packed soil who follows her every whim.
The summoned servant will perform any simple function you: carry, serve, open, hold, pull, etc. Its physical Stats are all equal to your Will, it has no mental Stats. It has the Brawling, Climbing, Ditch Digging, and Hauling skills opened at a rank equal to half your Will (rounded down). It’s Stride is always 5 but it’s stature is determined by the obstacle: by default the servant is small, but for +1 Ob it can be diminutive and it gains +1D to an ability of your choice, +2 Ob makes it middling and grants +2D, and +3 Ob makes it massive and gives +3D. It can help you or you can help it. Do not track any tests for the servant for they all disappear when the spell ends.

Spark Shower ⸻ Ob 2^ ⸻ 1 Actions
Flames and embers leap out of a nearvy brazier or torch and hurtle towards the target like a swarm of flaming insects.
Damaging spell effect. You must target a burning object in your presence larger than a candle flame and then aim it at someone within a hundred paces. Also, if the targetted flame is smaller than a bonfire, it is doused.
Power = Will −2, IMS = DoF, VA = 2, WL = X (Missile), Max. Range = 4 (High) [2D / 1D]

Steady Mind ⸻ Ob [Target’s Will] ⸻ 5 Actions
The yogini sees what true intentions lurk in the hearts of men and beast as they bow and greet her, and she finds them lacking.
This effectively raises the target’s Will exponent by 2D so long as the target remains motionless (i.e. does not move from their current position). This increase can be factored into Body of Argument in a Duel of Wits, or will make most social tests harder by +2 Ob; and it will reduce Hesitation by 2 too.

Storm of Lightning ⸻ Ob 6^ ⸻ 3 Actions
The sky chokes into a purple rage and voices it's displeasure with searing thunderbolts. How very frightening.
Damaging spell effect. All in the area are potentially hit, each must make an Ob 5 Speed test to dodge: Success means they take half damage on their PTGS.

Strength of the Ox ⸻ Ob [Target’s Power] ⸻ 5 Actions
Calling forth the power of ancient spirits, the sorcerer summons the limitless strength of the aurochs into his veins.
The recipient raises their Power exponent by 2D. This affects melee weapon damage (and remember that if a character's Power is 7 or higher then all melee attacks automatically gain +1 VA).

Supernal Senses ⸻ Ob [Target’s Percpetion] ⸻ 5 Actions
To the witch, a man's scent becomes as distinct as his voice; his fear a taste on the tongue; his movements seem slow and predictable.

The Black Rust ⸻ Ob 2^ ⸻ 1 Actions
With a touch, the Black Rust turns all living and organic matter to charred twisted ruin.
Damaging spell Effect. The Black Rust ruptures skin and bone, dealing
straight damage on the PTGS—no DoF or IMS—starting at a B1 and increasing with each margin of success. You need only touch your victim’s clothes or skin (requiring an Ob 1 Agility test, a strike, lock, or similar action), so it effectively ignores armour.

Thunderclap ⸻ Ob 3 ⸻ 2 Actions
Speaking this primal incantation and bringing her hands together, the wizard causes a small thunderclap to erupt and deafen her enemies.
The clap will interrupt anyone around you who fails a Steel test, then everyone affected (even those who passed the Steel test) suffer a +1 Ob to all actions for one exchange, and they are partially deafened for the rest of the scene (+1 Ob to listening tests). Multiple thunderclaps in the same scene have no effect.

Tidal Wave ⸻ Ob 4^ ⸻ 2 Actions
Smashing his hand against the glassy surface of the water, the incanter sends a subtle ripple across the surface that quickly exponentiates into a powerful wave that crashes down on the victim with supernatural force.
Must be cast by touching a body of water. On success, the spell only produces a natural wave, strong enough to rock a boat, or come up to the knees of people standing on the shore, creating difficult terrain for an instant; but marginal successes can be spent to increase the effect: 1 over = a wave large enough to knock people over, or capsize a kayak or rowboat; 2 over = a wave that flattens people on the shore, or rocks a longboat; 3 over = capsizes a longboat, or rocks a junk boat; 4 over = capsizes a junk, or rocks a felucca; 5 over = capsizes a felucca, or rocks a carrack; 6 over = capsizes a carrack, or rocks a caravel; 6 over = capsizes a caravel, or rocks a treasure ship; 7 over = capsizes a treasure ship.
