THE LAUNDRY AND SPELLS:

At my playgroup it was decided that if 50% drive got you a permanent vehicle, and 50%
firearms gave you a permanent firearm, then 50% gave you a permanent spell... Aside
from that spell the dm could decide on a higher amount of spells based on status%
SPELL-LEVEL:
I'm working on a "formula" to calculate the level. By adding mp and mythos and
looking at a pointbased system
it's easy to see what level a spell is. Currently all myt+mp values below 10 are easy to
requisit, but demands sorcery of 50% to be allowed by the player.
General coverage of spells:
Myt=mythos: this indicates how much cthulhu mythos a player gains when learning the
spell. Gaining mythos decreases the maximum sanity available to the player, so high
mythos is a bad thing.
mp=the amount of magicpoints the spell needs to be cast.
(P)=means that the loss in mp is permanent. The maximum possible mp of that player is
decreased by the mp-cost permanently.
Castingtime: In my own game spells have immediate and are treated as faster than
firearms. If you dislike this you may decide to let either mythos or mp be the number of
turns to cast a spell, however, such an approach degrade cultists and the overall feel of
mysticism.
Treat the effects of each spell very "verbally" Some spells have effects on keywords in
other spells, and whats in the text is the full effect of the spell.
AGE-CURSE OF THE WARLOCK: myt=3, mp=8.
Caster must spend 2 hours enchanting an item stolen personally from a being. Each
midnight the being ages 10 years until it is dead. If the stolen item is reclaimed the spell
is broken and the lost years will return.
AURA-READING: myt=1, mp=1.
For three rounds the caster can see the aura of all beings, living and dead, within sight,
including astral, spiritual and invisible beings, but not any any being hiding behind
something. The sight is disturbing and costs d3 san. The caster see's how many mp each
creature has and how much % they have in their religion-skill.
BECOME A VAMPIRE: myt=6, mp=8.
After an hour of rituals and chanting the caster becomes a vampire, but starts with ALL
weaknesses, and cannot infect others. The casters strength is doubled, the caster gains
bite +50% for dam d4 + victim is paralyzed while drained for d6 hp each turn. Caster
gains claw +50% dam=d4+db+mp drain (mp vs mp or drained for d3 mp). caster gains
+55% to human psychology and +75% to scent blood.
BLOCK METAL: myt=1, mp=3(p).
The caster spends 20 minutes of murmuring to create a 3X3 metres invisible field in the
air.

(this field can be cast within solid materials and if it is, will follow them around until
they are ruined).
Metal cannot cross through the field.
BRAIN-RAPE: myt=5, mp=6.
The caster targets a being whose name is known by the caster. The target loses d6-2
sanity points and becomes immune to this spell for 24 hours.
BROOM-SALVE: myt=3, mp=15.
Demands either alchemy at 10% or chemistry at 20% to cast.
The caster must shop for d6-1 days, then brew the salve during 30 minutes of witchy
rituals.
This creates a salve that must be smeared on a traditional wooden broom to work.
After smearing the broom can be ridden by anyone for three hours at a maximum move
of xxx
Base skill for broom-ridding is 5%, and skill must be rolled at difficult maneuvers.
(Failure ends in a crash).
The "smear" can be dissolve by hard rain unless the rider rolls a successfull luckroll
each 10 minutes.
BUILD DREAM-CATCHER: myt=3, mp=1(p).
Demands natural materials for at least 3$.

are somehow physically in the dreamlands.
CANIBALISTIC RITE: myt=4, mp=12.
the caster spends d4X10 minutes consuming certain parts from a being of the same race.
Caster gets +2 to con permanently, unless that would bring the caster above 20 hp.
CLINGING HANDS: myt=1, mp=4.
The caster gains +25% to climb for an hour, but the hands release pheromones that
might drive some creatures to a frenzy.
CLOSE/OPEN PORTAL: myt=2, mp=3(p).
Caster creates or closes a size portal.
If the caster creates a portal, the next time he creates one they will be linked and things
can move through.
If an unlinked portal is moved through it will link to a random portal in another
dimension (also random).
If a portal is cast in a room or vessel the portal will follow it as if stuck in it until it's
somehow destroyed.
A natural barier prevents air, earth, fire and water from flowing through the portal, and
these can only be moved through with hermetically closed containers. Travelling
through a portal drains d6 mp and a sanroll d1/d6.
each portals front/back connects to the other portals front/back, but the caster may
decide which way the portal is turned. this can be put to advanced use in several ways.
CONTACT DECEASED: myt=1, mp=5.
The caster needs to be within 25 meters of the remains of the deceased or must have an

object the deceased cared for in life. 5 wax-candless must be lit and remain lit during
questioning or the spell is cancelled.
The deceased manifests itself in ghostform, and has any ghostpowers or spells it might
have gained in the afterlife. The ghost is forced to answer 3 questions honestly, but
between each question it may use one of it's powers or spells or question the caster and
get a honest answer. Few newly deceased does anything but answer 3 questions, but
older malevolent spirits might raise hell between questions!
CTHUGA'S FLAME: myt=2, mp=4(p).
A visible target must roll difficult dodge or difficult jump to avoid 2d10 firedamage. If
hit, the target must roll luck or burn 2d4 turns with 2d4 damage each turn. The fire hits
armor or barriers first.

A visible target is struck by an electrical ray and must roll it's conX2 or lose d10+10hp.
(This effect does not spread through water or touch) The lightning passes through armor
and physical barriers.
ENCHANT CRYSTAL PENDULUM: myt=2, mp=1(p).
It takes 10 minutes to enchant the pendulum. If it's already enchanted there is a 1 out of
6 chance that it crumbles to dust after this spell is cast.
All % skills on the pendulum are increased with 10% and it's effects last 10 minutes
longer.
ENCHANT WEAPONRY: myt=5, mp=2(p).
For two hours the caster must enchant the weapon.
As long as a being holds the weapon it gets +25% in that weapon-skill, and the damage
dealt by the weapon adds +5 physical damage. If the weapon is a projectile weapon, the
ammunition will not count as magical, but will still get the +5 physical damagebonus.
When learning this spell, the student can chose to memorise it for a specific weapontype
(for example, enchant shotgun), which will decrease the mythos gained in learning it so
he/she gains only 2 mythos when learning the spell.
ESSENTIAL SALTS: myt=3, mp=3(p)
The caster must spend the 3 mp(p) and d3 hours, then rolls (chemistry or alchemy)
+occult/2 to turn a corpse into its essential salts. If too many vital parts are missing from
the corpse, the salts can only raise a grotesque mix of bodyparts. When someone wants
to use the salts they must be feed with (1 liter pr size) blood for (con) days. If for some
reason the feeding is halted the salts will dry out in d4 days. At the last day of feeding
the corpse is fully raised, either intact or as one among "ye liveliest awfulness". The

saltes fill less than the ashes of someone burned, and are easy to contain. Anyone
knowing this spell can sense the presence of someone raised and may pay 5mp to turn
them into ashes by the wave of a hand.
FIREBALL: myt=1, mp=2.

glas/crystal/metal: = 2 mp pr meter.
fluids: = 1 mp pr meter.
other materials: = 7 mp pr meter.
JUDAS-STONE: myt=5, mp=x(p).
Caster uses 1mp(p) and 10 minutes per size, enchanting a nonmagical rock, and ends the
enchantment by uttering a single word. Whenever the word is mentioned the rock
becomes phaseable to anything except rocks, so that things can be moved in or out of it
with no difficulties. Mentioning the word again will stop the phasing.
A large enough rock can be crawled through with no trouble if the phaseword has been
spoken, however, things caught in the rock while the phaseword is mentioned will
merge with the rock. (can be rather lethal).
KNIFE OF GLAAKI: myt=2, mp=2(p).
The caster must have a knife of stone or bone and spends d3X10 minutes to turn it into
one of Glaaki's many thorns. A successfull attack with a thorn lets it try to dig itself into
a victim doing 7d3 damage (-armor). If it draws blood it must be pulled out again by the
victim (successfull strX2) before two turns or it will inject a poison that will zombify
the victim into being controlled by Glaaki. Such a zombie will recognize the attacker as
an ally of Glaaki until the deity has full control of the zombie.

sacrificing all the cats.
The caster gains a permanent +15 armor against everything harmfull, and gains +30 con
