INCANTATION

Incantations function li!e spells, e"cept a character need not be a spellcaster to cast them. An#one can cast an incantation

simpl# b# performin$ the correct ritual $estures and phrases. Incantations don%t use spell slots, so the# don%t have to be

 prepared ahead of time, and there%s no limit on the number of times one can cast an incantation per da#. ince the# do not use

up spell slots, incantations cannot be improved usin$ metama$ic feats. &inall#, incantations $enerall# have more po'erful,far(reachin$ effects than even )th(level spells.

There is, of course, a catch. Incantations ta!e much lon$er to cast than normal spells. uccess 'ith an incantation is never

assured, and the conse*uences for failure can be dramatic. The most po'erful incantations can re*uire rituals involvin$

multiple participants, stran$e or e"pensive material components, or other aspects that ma!e them difficult to cast.

+iscoverin$ IncantationsThe instructions for performin$ incantations are $enerall# found in various obscure tomes. uch boo!s are filled 'ith ma$ic

spells,- and most of them are utterl# bo$us. ut hidden amon$ the dross is the real stuff, and discernin$ 'hether anincantation found in a boo! 'ill actuall# 'or! is a matter for e"perts in arcane lore.

&indin$ a set of instructions for a particular incantation re*uires a successful /esearch chec! 'ith a +C e*ual to the

no'led$e arcane lore2 +C for the incantation 310. 4ust learnin$ of the e"istence of a particular incantation is an easier

/esearch chec!, 'ith a +C e*ual to the no'led$e arcane lore2 +C 31).

Castin$ an IncantationAt its core, castin$ an incantation means havin$ the re*uired incantation components, then succeedin$ at a number ofno'led$e arcane lore2 chec!s durin$ the incantation%s castin$ time. 5ach incantation lists ho' man# no'led$e arcane

lore2 chec!s are re*uired to cast the incantation successfull#.

6nless other'ise specified, the caster ma!es no'led$e arcane lore2 chec!s ever# 10 minutes. &ailin$ a no'led$e arcane

lore2 chec! doesn%t mean that the entire incantation is a failure, 7ust that the previous 10 minutes have been 'asted. 8o'ever,if #ou fail t'o no'led$e arcane lore2 chec!s in a ro', the incantation immediatel# fails. The conse*uences for failure are

detailed in the description of the specific incantation. 5ven if the incantation fails, material components and e"perience points

are still lost and the bac!lash still ta!es effect.Incantation Components

9ost incantations re*uire components not unli!e spells, includin$ verbal, somatic, focus, and material components. In

addition, some re*uire secondar# casters abbreviated C2, cause some sort of bac!lash abbreviated 2, or cost the caster

some e"perience points abbreviated :;2.Secondary Casters

ome incantations re*uire multiple participants to cast successfull#. These secondar# casters abbreviated C2 are

indispensable to the success of the spell. No matter ho' man# people are $athered in the dar! room, chantin$ 'ith candles,

Attack: A creature is called from else'here to battle the caster and often an# b#standers and secondar# casters2. The

incantation%s description tells the G9 'hat Challen$e /atin$ the creature should have, ho' it behaves, and ho' lon$ it persists.Augment: The incantation 'as supposed to 'ea!en or destro# its tar$et, but it ma!es it more po'erful instead. A dama$in$

In $eneral, the sub7ect no' hates all it loved before the incantation. The sub7ect ma#

!eep its ne' alle$iances a secret. ?henever a character attempts an incantation 'ith a chance of betra#al failure, the G9

If the incantation succeeds, the tar$et must also ma!e a

?ill save. If this second save fails, the creature $ains the Intelli$ence, ?isdom, and Charisma scores of its ne' form. It still

retains its class and level, hit points, base attac! bonus, base save bonuses, alle$iances, e"traordinar# abilities, supernatural

abilities, and spell(li!e abilities, as 'ell as an# spellcastin$ abilit# possessed. Note that incorporeal or $aseous creatures are immune to bein$ pol#morphed, and a shapeshifter such as a 'ere'olf2 can

+esi$nin$ uni*ue incantations is a tric!# balancin$ act. Incantations are intentionall# constructed to be much more

idios#ncratic than spells. ince incantations hin$e on no'led$e arcane lore2 chec!s, it%s possible for characters to $ainaccess to po'erful ma$ic before the# are read# for it.

Incantations are built from buildin$ bloc!s called seeds, 'hich describe in $eneral terms the ma$ic effect #ou%re tr#in$ to

create. ?hen #ou%re desi$nin$ #our o'n incantation, #ou%ll first choose 'hich seed or seeds2 #ou 'ant for the incantation.

5ach seed comes 'ith its o'n no'led$e arcane lore2 +C, 'hich 'ill serve as the base +C for the incantation #ou%redesi$nin$. If #ou%re desi$nin$ an incantation 'ith more than one seed, choose the most important one to provide the

no'led$e arcane lore2 +C. Other seeds add one(third their no'led$e arcane lore2 +C to the total.

 Ne"t #ou%ll appl# a number of factors modifications to the no'led$e arcane lore2 +C based on the specifics of #our ritual.Increasin$ the base ran$e of an incantation, for e"ample, is a factor that 'ill increase the no'led$e arcane lore2 +C.

/educin$ the duration of the incantation, on the other hand, is a factor that reduces the no'led$e arcane lore2 +C.

The third step is to identif# components and options for the incantation. ome of #our choices here ma# modif# the

no'led$e arcane lore2 +C further. Ne"t, #ou%ll set the effective level of the incantation. In some respects, incantations are li!e th( throu$h Hth(level spells.

Assess ho' po'erful the incantation is, and assi$n it an effective level. The effective level determines a number of relativel#

minor aspects to the incantation ho' man# total successes are re*uired, the e"act save +C of the incantation, and sometimes

&undamentall#, it%s important to reali>e that this s#stem is meant as a startin$ point, not the last 'ord. An#time #ou have

multiple modifiers to a sin$le +C, the potential for accidental conse*uences or intentional abuse is there.

To !eep incantations under control in #our campai$n, avoid creatin$ incantations 'ith no'led$e arcane lore2 +Cs lo'er
