Expanded Abilities

Any hostile ability will never be used on another character without that player's express permission. To blanket opt-out of any of Lilias's spells or abilities, you can visit her Permissions post.

FAMILIAR:
    Lilias's familiar, Belzath, acts as her conduit to her magical patron, storing inside him the knowledge of all the spells Lilias can cast, like a small library. As long as he and Lilias are within 1 mile of each other, they can sense each other and share emotions through their bond.

    Belzath acts as Lilias's valet by assisting her with both everyday tasks and magic-related endeavours. He is a capable item-crafting assistant, allowing her to create magic items more efficiently. If Lilias and Belzath are in contact when she casts a spell that requires her to touch her target, Belzath can touch the target to "deliver" the spell.

    Belzath can also freely use a couple of spell-like abilities, though doing so does not require him to gesture or speak:

    • Prestidigitation—Allows him to perform minor magical tasks, such as levitating, colouring, cleaning, soiling, chilling, warming, or flavouring small amounts of material. The spell can also create small objects, though they are always crude and fragile, and therefore useless as weapons or tools. All effects of the spell, beyond simply cleaning, soiling, or moving something, last only 1 hour.
    • Open/Close—Opens or closes an unlocked door, window, or reasonably-sized object.

SPELLS:
    Lilias chooses which spells to prepare at the beginning of each day by communing with her familiar. Unless otherwise stated, casting any spell on this list requires her to speak aloud (verbal component) and gesture with at least one free hand (somatic component). Some spells also require her to have a certain item or substance on hand (material component or focus).

    cantrips:
    Simple spells that are not magically taxing to cast. They can be used as often as desired, although Lilias can only use four different cantrips on any given day.

    • Arcane Mark—Inscribes Lilias's personal mark on a touched surface, either invisibly or softly glowing. For objects, lasts until dispelled; when placed on a creature, it fades after about a month.
    • Dancing Lights—Creates a glowing silhouette or spheres which can be moved around freely. Lasts about a minute.
    • Detect Magic—Detects spells and magic items within 60 feet, for up to 6 minutes per cast.
    • Detect Poison—Detects poison in one creature, object, or 5-foot area within 40 feet.
    • Light—Touched object shines like a torch for 60 minutes. Requires only a verbal component and a material component (a firefly).
    • Mending—Repairs a small object that has been damaged or even destroyed, but cannot recreate missing pieces.
    • Message—Facilitates whispered conversations over a distance of up to 160 feet. Requires a focus (a piece of copper wire).
    • Stabilize—Causes a dying creature within 40 feet to become stable.

    level 1 spells:
    Lilias can cast up to five level 1 spells per day, which she can prepare from the following list:

    • Brightest Night—Grants up to three creatures improved low-light vision for 6 hours.
    • Cure Light Wounds—Heals a touched living creature or harms touched undead by a small amount.
    • Enlarge Person—Makes one person within 40 feet about twice as large in all dimensions, for up to 6 minutes. Requires a material component (a pinch of powdered iron).
    • Mage Armour—Surrounds a touched creature with an invisible field of force, protecting them as though they were wearing armour, but without the weight or bulk. Lasts for 6 hours. Requires a focus (a piece of cured leather).
    • Mount—Summons a saddled horse or pony which can be used as a willing steed for up to 12 hours. The mount disappears when the spell ends, or when it is "killed." Requires a material component (a bit of horse hair).
    • Obscuring Mist—Creates a cloud of thick fog around Lilias's current position, spreading 20 feet in all directions. Lasts up to 6 minutes.
    • Reduce Person—Makes one person within 40 feet about half as large in all dimensions, for up to 6 minutes. Requires a material component (a pinch of powdered iron).
    • Silent Image—Creates a visual illusion of a creature, object, or force within 640 feet. The illusion must fit within a space the size of an extra large room, and disappears when Lilias stops concentrating on the spell. The illusion cannot be felt, heard, or smelled. Requires a focus (a bit of fleece).
    • Unseen Servant—Creates an invisible, shapeless force that can complete simple tasks when ordered. Lasts for 6 hours. Requires a material component (a piece of string and a bit of wood).

    level 2 spells:
    Lilias can cast up to four level 2 spells per day, which she can prepare from the following list:

    • Blindness/Deafness—Causes a creature within 160 feet to become either blind or deaf. Lasts until dispelled. Requires only a verbal component.
    • Darkness—Creates an area of darkness with a radius of 20 feet. Lasts up to 6 minutes. Requires a material component (bat fur and a piece of coal).
    • Hold Person—Causes a person within 160 feet to become paralyzed and freeze in place. Lasts less than a minute. Requires a focus (a small, straight piece of iron).
    • Vomit Swarm—This spell conjures a big swarm of spiders to attack enemies, with Lilias as the origin. The spiders vanish after less than a minute. Requires only a somatic component.
    • Web—Conjures a large, sticky spiderweb filling a 20-foot-radius area. Lasts up to 60 minutes, unless destroyed earlier (such as by fire). Requires a material component (a spider web).

    level 3 spells:
    Lilias can cast up to three level 3 spells per day, which she can prepare from the following list:

    • Deeper Darkness—Creates an area of deep darkness with a radius of 60 feet. If the surrounding light is dim or darker, the area is supernaturally dark (creatures who can see in darkness cannot see in it). Lasts up to 60 minutes. Requires a material component (bat fur and a piece of coal).
    • Lightning Bolt—Discharges a 120-foot line of lightning from Lilias's hand, harming creatures and objects in its path. Requires a material component (fur and a glass rod).
    • Remove Curse—Removes curses from a touched creature or object.
    • Shroud of Innocuity—Makes Lilias and up to three other creatures appear to viewers as an ordinary member of the viewers' own race for 6 hours.
    • Sleet Storm—Conjures a 40-foot-radius, 20-foot-high cylinder of intense sleet that blocks vision and makes the ground slippery. Lasts less than a minute. Requires a material component (dust and water).

HEXES:
    Hexes are slightly different from spells in that Lilias doesn't need to prepare specific hexes at the beginning of each day, she doesn't need to speak or gesture to activate them, and she can use each hex as many times as she likes unless otherwise specified.

    • Cackle—Extends the duration of the Evil Eye and Misfortune hexes for creatures within 30 feet.
    • Evil Eye—Causes doubt to briefly creep into the mind of a creature, hampering their ability to either attack, perform skilled actions, evade attacks, or resist effects (such as magic).
    • Flight—Magic makes her body lighter, allowing her to stay afloat in water and slow her speed when falling. She can also levitate or fly for up to 6 minutes each per day.
    • Gift of Consumption—When Lilias is subject to an effect that targets her vitality, curses a creature within 30 feet to suffer that effect as well. A creature can only be successfully affected by this hex once per day.
    • Misfortune—Strikes a creature with bad luck for a few moments, making them more likely to mess up anything they attempt to do. What specific effect this has on other characters is up to player discretion. A creature can only be successfully affected by this hex once per day.
    • Slumber—Puts a creature into a deep sleep for a short time. The magic is in effect for less than a minute, after which time they can wake normally. A creature can only be successfully affected by this hex once per day.

MAGIC ITEM CREATION:
    Lilias is able to imbue her magic into physical objects in order to make magic items. Most of these items have small effects that work constantly (such as a cloak that makes you slightly more resistant to magic, or an amulet that makes your body more resistant to weapon damage). She can also make items that can "cast" spells she knows (such as a pipe that can summon an Unseen Servant when smoked).

    Magic items require a significant amount of both time and expensive materials to create, requiring more of both the more advanced the effects of the item are. For example, an item that casts a single spell when used and then breaks would be easier and cheaper to make than an item that can cast a spell over and over.
