Of the Piscine Dimension

Haven't posted for most of the week, naughty me. Hope this makes up for it:


Sustaining Infinity of the Piscine Dimension
Level:  2 (1 with access to plenty of water)

The spell conjures up a head-sized ball of water that can float in one place or rest on a surface at the caster’s wish, and which can be carried in hand if held gingerly. There are 7 fish inside the ball which can be removed one by one and which provide a random effect when swallowed whole:

1-10 Sustenance for an entire day, eater regains 1d6 HP. Can't eat another one until next day.
11-13 Heals 1d6 points of attribute damage or 2d6 HP.
14 Save or magical sleep for 2d6 hours, cannot be awakened. Dreams and visions give (possibly cryptic) answer to one question. If save successful, drowsiness for 1 hour, -1 to all rolls.
15 Ability to speak to aquatic creatures for a day.
16 Hair- and featherless beings become friendly to character, beings with hair or feathers become hostile.
17 Save or go blind. If successful, see in darkness for a day.
18 Racked by pain, cannot attack, defend, walk, or perform any action for a day. Save or lose 1 point from random Attribute.
19 Immune to all (harm- or helpful) effects caused by the waters of the Piscine Dimension.
20 Poison, save at -4 or die. Even with a successful save the victim falls in a coma which can only be cured by water from the Piscine Dimension.

Once all fish are gone, the ball disperses.

Critical failure but confirmation roll succeeds: all fish have negative effects:

1 insatiable hunger
2 stomach cramps: -1d6 HP
3 muteness (1 day)
4 blindness (1 day)
5 scaly skin (-2 CHA, armour chafes, 1 day)
6 can only breath water (1 day)
7 crippling pain (1 day)
8 poison





Lightless Infinity of the Piscine Dimension
Level: 3

The spell turns a pool or well into a gateway to the Piscine Dimension. Anyone jumping into the waters will be picked up by a random current, affected by its magic unless he saves, and delivered to a distant location attuned to that current. Those secured together by a rope or holding hands and succeeding at a STR save will be delivered to the same place. If the receptacle for the spell is prepared in advance with materials at least 1 Bizants' worth, the magical effects of the waters will be negated.

Grand Malediction
Level: 5
The sorcerer utters a curse upon a single victim, prescribing either an ongoing state (such as blindness, wasting disease or poverty), or a singular event (death of all sons, loss of family heirloom etc.). The sorcerer does NOT get to dictate when this state should set in or this event occur, only what is to happen.

In its own time, the curse becomes true. No resistance, no saving throws, nothing. It becomes true.

The uttering of a Grand Malediction is immediately noticed by the Astral Horrors, the Blood Demons and the local god of the land.
