Under the influence of this spell, the target is soothed and calmed, inhibiting them from engaging in aggressive behavior. Actions involving combat or the casting of spells are not possible while in the calmed state. If the target is attacked, they will come out of their calmed state.

Type: Defense
The caster uses his or her spiritual powers to influence the surrounding spirits to provide additional physical protection. This defensive bonus provides a +10 to Defense Strength (Melee and Ranged DS), +1 for every three ranks over 2 known in the Major Spiritual Circle.
Due to the increasing defensive effects of this spell, the mana cost is a base of 2, +1 for every 3 DS over 10.
When Spirit Shield is cast upon others, the bonus is a flat +10 DS with a flat mana cost of 2.
Overtraining in Major Spiritual spell ranks does not yield additional bonus past the caster's level.
Through the use of this spell, the caster calls into being special food with potent qualities. Persons who partake of the magically created food will experience accelerated mana and spirit recovery.

Through this spell, spiritual forces are invoked to protect the target of the spell from many magical means of location.

Type: Utility
The spiritual forces are used to invoke spirits of light, influencing them to provide greater illumination in the immediate area where the spell is cast. The additional illumination may enhance or make possible actions that could not be performed in darkness, and may enhance the combat ability of everyone in the illuminated area.
The sudden illumination of an otherwise dark area may reveal hidden persons or creatures. This illumination lowers the Defensive Strength (DS) of everyone in the room by -30, including the caster.
If the caster leaves the local area for a while, the spell will dissipate early.

Type: Utility
Being similar to the Light spell, this spell invokes spirits of shadow and darkness to dim the illumination in the immediate area where the spell is cast. Combat conducted in a darkened area is done so with reduced abilities. Some actions that require good illumination may not be possible in a darkened area. People may find it easier to hide and remain hidden in darkened areas. This darkness provides everyone in the room with an additional +30 Defense Strength (DS), including the caster.
If the caster leaves the local area for a while, the spell will dissipate early.

Type: Defense
This potent manipulation of spiritual forces that lie within each of us bolsters the ability of the target person to withstand the ravages of a hostile environment. The effect gives enhanced warding against gaseous poisons, in some circumstances allows the person to actually breathe underwater, and according to some reports has allowed persons to survive in total vacuum.
This spell enables the caster to transfer a prepared spell from another person. Transfer of the spell is one way only, from the target to the caster. The target person will lose mana points as if they had cast the spell being transferred. The caster who receives the spell will also have to expend mana points when casting the spell that has been transferred. However, training in Spirit Mana Control will decrease the required mana to cast a stolen spell at the rate of 1% per 2 ranks. The resultant mana cost is rounded up, with a minimum cost of 1.
Arcane Symbols skill, Minor Spiritual spell ranks, and Major Spiritual spell ranks known increase the likelihood that the caster will be able to transfer the spell from the target. Additionally, the number of spells the caster has on outside their own realm of spell knowledge can affect the success of the results.
The caster will meet some resistance when attempting to transfer a spell that they do not actually know. The amount of resistance met will vary in difficulty depending on whether the spell is from the caster's own circle, a minor or major circle available to the caster, or some other circle not available to the caster. Both the caster and target risk suffering damage if the transfer of a spell fails.
By channeling his or her will, the caster is able to use this spell to dissolve the webs cast by both natural and magical spiders of all sizes.
When directed at web-spinning spiders, the effect can prevent such targets from using their spinnerets.
Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings unlocks an ability at 10 ranks to create a persistent effect upon the caster. The duration is 600 + 30 seconds per Major Spiritual spell rank. While active, the caster will receive a second attempt (warding or maneuver) to avoid being webbed.
Duration: 30 seconds + 1 second per warding margin
Type: Attack
Through the spiritual forces, the caster is able to influence spirits of sound to place a pall of silence over the target of this spell. The target person or creature will be unable to speak, sing, or prepare or cast a spell.
The target of the spell receives a spirit warding to avoid the effects of the spell. Not all creatures will react to, or be affected by, this spell.
Training in Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning unlocks an ability at 20 ranks which allows the caster to silence multiple targets with a single cast. Each additional target beyond the first requires an additional 20 lore ranks. To utilize the multi-target version, simply CAST the spell with no target.

Type: Offense
This self-cast spell enables the caster to draw upon the surrounding lesser spirits for additional courage and confidence in battle. The caster's mental and physical fortitude is bolstered making them more effective in combat as well as strengthening their will against fearsome foes.
The caster realizes +15 to their general Attack Strength (Physical and Bolt AS), and is afforded some protection against certain types of fear.
Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings unlocks an ability at 50 ranks to cast a group version of the spell which lasts 60 seconds.
The caster of this spell is able to use the spiritual forces to exert influence over the lesser spirits in the immediate area to interfere with the actions of the target person or creature. This interference results in diminished combat abilities. Due to the refocused energies of the spell, the target's initial warding defense of the spell is lower than normal warding for spirit spells.
If a target fails its warding, it will now suffer a higher penalty to its offensive prowess as well as a penalty on its ability to defend certain types of attacks. The penalty to the Attack Strength (AS) is twice of the penalty to the Defense Strength (DS). In conjunction with those penalties, on applicable targets, spell casting will be hindered somewhat depending on the caster's knowledge of the Major Spiritual spell circle.
Training in Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning increases the penalty to a target's defense when attempting to ward a follow-up spiritual spell at a rate of +1 at 5 lore ranks, and has a maximum of +16 at 200 lore ranks.
By mustering the power of the surrounding lesser spirits, the caster is able to employ this spell to create an area that is relatively safe from danger. This increased security will allow the caster to practice his or her profession in greater security. While this spell is in effect, most creatures will avoid entering the area of the spell. Persons or creatures that are in the area will not be able to attack or steal from others.
Summoning peaceful spirits can be an arduous task, however, and the presence of enemies can prevent the spell from summoning them. Any unfriendly creature in the room that is above the caster's level will contribute (based on level difference) to the failure chance of the spell. Additionally, any unfriendly creatures in the room that are equal to or less than the caster's level (but no more than 10 levels below the caster's) will contribute a small amount to the failure chance of the spell. Training in Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning will reduce the failure chance of the spell.
Minor Demons that are summoned by Sorcerers are beasts of chaos that are capable of interfering with the creation of a Minor Sanctuary. Certain demons can even break existing sanctuaries. Training in the Major Spiritual spell circle and Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning can help the caster prevent a demon from interfering or breaking his or her sanctuary.
Minor Sanctuary will prematurely end shortly after the caster leaves the room in which the spell was cast. The caster may also STOP 213 to end the spell before its duration expires.
Clerics and Empaths can SENSE the presence of a Minor Sanctuary created by this spell.
Duration: 13 seconds + 1 second per warding margin
Type: Attack
The caster uses this spell to call upon the surrounding lesser spirits to hold the target person or creature immobile. The target will find it much more difficult defending incoming attacks from the caster than other aggressors in the area.

Type: Offense
The caster of this spell is able to draw additional fortitude from the surrounding lesser spirits. This serves to bolster the caster's courage and confidence, thus improving the caster's combat effectiveness. The spell helps to bring the caster's mind and body into focus, allowing the caster to recover from both physical and mental fatigue at a faster rate.
The unique and personal nature of this spell makes it impossible to be cast on another person or creature; the magic is effective on the caster only. The caster will realize a +25 to general Attack Strength (Physical and Bolt AS) and increased health point and mana point recovery.
Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings unlocks an ability at 65 ranks to cast a group version of the spell which lasts 60 seconds. Additionally, a +1 Attack Strength (AS) bonus for every 10 ranks of Blessings is available for self-cast only. This bonus comes at a cost of 15 Mana Points (MP) plus 1 per 3 AS bonus over 25.
The caster employs this spell to drive the target person or creature into an intense state of combat frenzy. The target of the spell is influenced in a manner such that they will take no special action to defend themselves in combat. Instead, the target creature or person will focus all of their available skill in a frantic attack.
The target of this spell receives a spirit warding to avoid the effect of the spell. Due to the refocused energies of the spell, the target's initial warding defense of the spell is lower than normal warding for spirit spells. Failure of that roll forces the target to take a fully offensive stance, where it will remain for the duration of the spell.
Training in Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning increases the penalty to a target's defense when attempting to ward this spell at a rate of +1 at 1 lore rank, and has a maximum of +19 at 190 lore ranks.

Type: Utility
This spell will create a spiritual creature that accompanies the caster. The Spirit Servant can be instructed to pick up certain items. It can pick up a maximum of two items, one in each hand. One variant to this would be if its master's weapon were disarmed. In this case, the Spirit Servant will pick up the item on its own without being instructed to do so by its master. It will also drop one of the items it is carrying (if both hands are full) in order to retrieve the weapon.
If the master is killed, the Spirit Servant can preserve its master with Preservation and send off a beacon to let others in the area know where its dead master is located. The base duration of Preservation by the Spirit Servant is 5 minutes.
Usage:
TELL SERVANT TO . . . GET {item} DROP {item} GIVE {item} {player} LEAVE
Training in Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning has two benefits. Firstly, it increases the duration of the Spirit Servant. Every rank of Spirit Summoning Lore increases the duration by 30 seconds. Secondly, the duration of Preservation that the Spirit Servant bestows on its master is increased. Each rank of Summonining Lore up to 100 ranks increases the duration by 15 seconds. For every additional rank past 100, the duration is increased by 10 seconds.
The caster can specify which type of servant to summon by using a runestone. For more information on runestones, use the RUNE command.
To refresh this spell, it only costs 5 Mana Points (MP).
Duration: 600 seconds + 30 seconds for every Major Spiritual rank known
Type: Utility
This extremely powerful spell allows the caster to transport his group into a special place of safety. The caster employs his knowledge of the lesser spirits to have them construct a place of refuge in which he may rest and practice his arts in relative safety. If the caster has a patron Arkati or Spirit, he call upon this being's spiritual servants to provide him with a unique place of refuge. Otherwise, lesser spirits local to the realm construct the sanctuary.
The caster can specify which natural sanctuary to transport to by using a runestone. For more information on runestones, use the RUNE command.
The caster of this spell is able to use the spiritual forces to transfer themselves to the physical location of the target individual. Transference of this type is effective on the caster only, and some magical or natural occurrences may prevent this spell from operating properly.
Spiritual Abolition weakens the target's connection to the lesser spirits. This results in a random number of spells being dispelled from the target. Spiritual spells will be dispelled before spells from other spheres of magic. Diligent training in the Major Spiritual spell circle helps to increase the minimum number of spells dispelled. Caster and target levels are also factored in determining the number of spells dispelled. At minimum, two spells will be dispelled (provided at least two spells are active on the target).
For purposes of determining sphere nativity, hybrid spell circles are considered to be in all spheres for which they are connected. That is, Empath spells are in-sphere for Spiritual and Mental, while Sorcerer spells are in-sphere for Spiritual and Elemental.
The Spirit Slayer spell summons a spirit from the surrounding area into being (seen when looking at the caster) that swirls around the caster. This spirit, when summoned, will have a large chance of re-casting an attack spell cast by the spiritualist at his or her target, with an increased strength.
