Glance Of The Rested - A spell imported to the Material Plane by visiting fey; in stronger applications, it can influence people to fall asleep for great lengths of time. But in most cases, it induces a temporary narcolepsy, causing afflicted creatures to suffer intermittent microsleeps. No one has been able to work out exactly what benefit being asleep has to those of the Brightfields, and at this point, are afraid to get a definitive answer.

Searching for a way to cheat death, the archmage Lyndon Panitori researched all the ways that magic could be used to harm people, but specifically, him. Though unsuccessful in the pursuit of immortality, he leaves behind a legacy in the arcane ritual of Flesh Mutability. After performing the steps of the ritual, the user is rendered invulnerable to blunt force for 24 hours. This also confers the ability to stretch their limbs, and be squashed flat.

Though most magic comes from mortal kind, it occasionally occurs among the creatures of #Matea. Rarely, in a nest of Saylen, one might appear with a stronger ability in magic. Empowering their natural talents, they can steal the voice of their target, rendering them mute while their voice is no longer with them. Others have tried to replicate this effect, but found that without the natural saylen physiology, there is an elemental magical backlash to the user.

Used in the Family War, the Thirsting Blade spell saw terrifyingly effective use by the Sister’s allied forces. By coating a weapon or hand of ammunition in one’s own blood, it will carry an enchantment to draw the vitality from one’s foes, transferring it to the caster, whether they made the strike or not. This kept previously assumed weak targets up and fighting for longer than any had anticipated, based on their physicality.

There are druidic circles that specialise in the growth and cultivation of funguses and mushrooms, outside of the larger Nasè Grove. In their studies, they developed a spell uncreatively named “Conjure Memoryshroom”. By spending an hour focusing, a caster can create a mushroom that can be used to record sound in memories. Casting this spell again creates portable, smaller copies of a single memory. Some refer to this process as “fungal pod-casting”.

Lym’s Obelisk - By using the blood of a slain creature, no more than 24 hours before, one can summon a singular obsidian pillar to temporarily rise in any location of their choice. For the duration of its physical existence, those within its radius become sickened, assailed by psychic visions that cause them gradual harm. Once the pillar vanishes, the ground beneath is scarred; unable to sustain any life for a full year, and poisonous to consume.

As not all uses of positive energy are helpful, not all uses of negative energy are harmful. Such is the case with the spell known as Indignation. By unleashing a field of negative energy, a caster can grant themselves and a number of allies around them an aura of undeath. Should any of them fall while under this aura, there is a chance they will simply continue to live instead. But in payment, the caster suffers harsh muscle cramps as the energy fades.

The Tabaxi are renowned storytellers. One tale they are fond of in adventuring circles is of Mee-koko, a halfling warrior clad in red, faster than the wind. By enchanting her blade in a crimson energy, she dashes around her opponents faster than the eye can see, attacking each, and leaving them vulnerable. The energy bolsters her defence in response to how many she faces, as she defies fate.

Sightings of this fictional individual have been heard, but unconfirmed.

One of the many patients within the healing halls of Paana-Dûl, Hambry Ember-eyed, a halfling journalist, seeks treatment to ensure he never dreams. He claims it is because he has travelled to, and escaped from, Ta’terra. Through bouts of terror, he describes how residents expertly use pain for their pleasure; even detailing a spell that can inflict a growing pain on themselves or others to strengthen their physical capabilities, pushing to new limits.

From the ruins of Silwa’na, scavengers and scholars from Dun discovered an inherent magical essence lingering around reflective surfaces. Through rigorous study, those of the arcane persuasion found a way to utilise the energy within. Projecting an illusion of mirrors from directly in front of them, a caster can momentarily trap a number of people in an illusion that leaves them paralysed as their mind reconciles with reality once more.
