  Unless you want to make them a foe. Then they’re fair game. Remember, try and maintain control.

  Phantom

  This ability allows you to convince your enemies that you are a different target. This renders you invisible to their aggro radar for all intents and purposes.

  Effect: This ability not only transfers your generated aggro, but also takes you off the targetable list for the duration. It transfers aggression to your target, giving them your appearance, and rendering you invisible to any enemy near you. This may be used on allies, but also on enemies.

  Cost: this ability requires MA to be at a minimum of 50, drains 5 MA per second, and will adjust as MA level and usage of this ability increase. Requires Charisma to be at 150 or more. Cannot be chained, must wait at least 5 minutes for MA to regenerate.

  Caution: Make sure you do not cause your MA to run out. Should that happen, backlash will render the caster unconscious for a period of seconds not less than half the caster’s level. Make sure you choose your targets wisely.

  Base Enchanter Spells:

  Level One (1):

  Minor Suffocation

  Cast: Single Target

  Type: Damage Over Time

  Duration: 24 seconds

  Effect: This spell winds a mind leash around your opponent, as if it were trying to suffocate them. Its damage ticks every three seconds for twenty-four seconds.

  Minor Shield

  Cast: Self Only

  Type: Buff

  Duration: 45 minutes

  Effect: This casts a minor shield over your skin, increasing your Armor Class by level + 3, and hit points by level + 5.

  Simple Animation.

  Cast: Self

  Type: Pet

  Duration: Until death or dismissal

  Effect: This summons a magical pet that sort of does your bidding. It costs a tiny sword to cast. Isn’t the best at obeying commands.

  Level Four (4):

  Mesmerize

  Cast: Single Target

  Type: Breakable Stun

  Duration: 24 seconds

  Effect: This spell immobilized your opponent for as long as they take no damage, or 24 seconds, whichever is shorter. You may cast non-damaging spells on them, and you may renew this casting before the initial one expires. Casting it on your friends probably isn’t a good way to win popularity contests.

  Flux

  Cast: Area of Effect

  Type: Stun

  Duration: 4 seconds

  Effect: This is a stun that radiates out from the caster for fifteen feet. It will stun anyone who means the caster harm within that radius. Does not produce sparkles.

  Gate

  Cast: Self Only

  Type: Travel

  Duration: N/A

  Effect: This will transfer you to your bind point

  Invisibility

  Cast: Self or Others

  Type: Buff

  Duration: 10 minutes or until broken/seen through

  Effect: Causes generic invisibility. Undead don’t count. Will drop if you cast a spell or take damage.

  Fear

  Cast: Area of Effect

  Type: Brief Loss of Control

  Duration: 25% of level in seconds.

  Effect: Causes enemies to flee from you in terror. But if you use it too soon, it’ll probably just look like they misplaced something for a second.

  Level Eight (8):

  Cancel Magic

  Cast: Self or Others

  Type: Debuff

  Duration: Instant

  Effect: Casting this spell will remove one magically caused effect from the target. Make sure you want to remove it.

  Root

  Cast: Others (or self if you really want to)

  Type: Immobilization

  Duration: 8 seconds

  Effect: This will root the target in place. Probably not the best idea to cast it on yourself when fleeing in panic.

  See Invisible

  Cast: Self or Others

  Type: Buff

  Duration: 10 minutes

  Effect: Really? Does this really require explanation?

  Soothe

  Cast: Self or Others

  Type: Debuff

  Effect: This will lower the threat level of a target, but it will not make it disappear. Probably not useful on yourself unless in a really bad mood.

  Chaos

  Cast: Others

  Type: Direct Damage

  Duration: Instant

  Effect: This spell causes direct mental damage to the target, dropping their hit points by two times the caster’s level. Requires a recharge.

  Level Twelve (12):

  Allure

  Cast: Others

  Type: Charm

  Duration: Until broken

  Effect: This spell will charm a mob or other player. This ability depends on the casters charisma, and ability to calm their charge. Whatever you do, don’t piss them off while under your command. It rarely ends well.

  Suffocation:

  Cast: Single Target

  Type: damage over time

  Duration: 36 seconds

  Effect: This spell winds a mind leash around your opponent, as if it were trying to suffocate them. Its damage ticks every three seconds for thirty-six seconds.

  Bind Affinity

  Cast: Self or others

  Type: Buff—or soul affixer

  Duration: Until renewed or overridden with a new location

  Effect: This spell binds the target to an area of choice, allowing them to resurrect easier and hopefully closer to their corpse. Because you’ll all die. A lot.

  Infravision

  Type: Buff

  Duration: 10 minutes

  Effect: Aids the target with a form of night vision.

  Stupefy

  Cast: Single target

  Type: Stun

  Duration: 90 seconds

  Effect: Reduces the target’s strength by 50% of the caster’s level.

  Languidity

  Cast: Single Target

  Type: Debuff

  Duration: 90 seconds

  Effect: Reduces the target’s attack speed by 25% of the caster’s level in %. Trust us, it’s far more effective than you think. Probably.

  Mass Enthrall

  Cast: Enemy Targets

  Type: Offensive/Defensive—area of effect centered around the initial target.

  Shield Illusion

  Altruism

  Cast: Self or others

  Type: Buff

  Duration: 45 minutes

  Effect: This allows a faction increase to your target. It will lift you one faction level. However, should you be kill on sight, not even altruism can help you. This buff will update again at level 30.

  Duration: 15 minutes

  Effect: This buff will cause your target to receive some of the aggression generated by you. The mob will assume it comes from the target of this spell.

Also — this can only be cast on one target at a time.

  Signet
