A spirit with knowledge of the Armor spell is destroyed and the innate power of the spell is added to the caster. The power of the spirit is stackable with the mystic magic spell of the same name. Retch: (1) ranged, temporal, stackable, reusable. For spell to succeed in affecting the target, a caster MP vs. target CON roll must be made, instead of the normal MP vs. MP roll. Effect is to cause the target to retch uncontrolably for 1d6 rounds. The retching victim only gets one action at half-normal skill during the duration. Additional points increase the chance of success by 25%. Rampage (5): self, continuous, nonstackable. This spell makes the user invunerable to all edged and pointed weapons. Any damage done by them will not penetrate the skin. It also has all the effects of a normal Berserk spell, but DEX and INT are halved for any DEX or INT rolls. Devouring (1): ritual enchant spell, nonstackable, one-use. The spell is cast before a victim is killed and it enables the caster to gain knowledge that an intelligent victim had. Only the caster gains the knowledge of the victim, but this requires only 1d6 SIZ of body and the rest can be eaten by someone else. The eater gains some of the memories of the victim involving past personal life, and the caster also gains 1d6% in every skill the victim knew a 25% or higher. For each sorcery or spirit magic spell the victim knew the caster most roll under INT x 1 to get the spell. Knowlege skills are gained at a level of two less than the victim knew or +1 if the skill is the same as one know by the eater and the same or higher level.

A horrible and intensely maddening keening occurs. The sound affects all creatures within the spell's range and the effect is different for various creatures. Cultists of this god are totally unaffected, other normal INT creatures are demoralized as per the spell, if overcome. Finally, fixed-INT creatures will flee the area totally terrified, if overcome. Only one roll is made to overcome the PM of all targets. Wither (3): ranged, instant, stackable, reusable. If target's MPs are overcome, the spell causes a random hit location to become withered, deformed, and useless. The location is reduced to zero HPs, but no general HP damage is done. If a vital location is hit, the target dies. A Withered limb cannot be Healed, but can be amputated and then Regrown or Regenerated. (Paralyzed) Turn to Vapor: (2) spirit enchant. (perm hit loss, if hits under zero, spells on vapor). Spell lost when free enchant cast. Vampiric ability to turn to mist. Void (2): ritual summon, non-stackable, one-use. This spell summons a wailing, moaning void which appears in mid-air. Anything entering this void is irrevocably lost. The void is a popular way to sacrifice to Ilza. After 1d4 minutes, the void vanishes, disgorging a creature of Ilza. The caster can choose what creature appears within certain limits, determined by the sacrifice made. If no sacrifice is made, the arrival is always a Gorp. If a fixed-INT creature is sacrificed, the summoned monster can be any fixed-INT (chaos) creature. If an intelligent creature is sacrificed, the summoned monster can be any (chaos) creature. If a spirit is sacrificed (most easily done by hurling a binding enchantment into the void), a (chaos) spirit, such as a Ghoul spirit or Spirit of Disease, may be summoned. Neither the POW nor SIZ of the arrival may be greater than those of the sacrifice, unless no sacrifice is made, when a random Gorp appears. Wither (3): ranged, instant, stackable, reusable. If target's MPs are overcome, the spell causes a random hit location to become withered, deformed, and useless. The location is reduced to zero HPs, but no general HP damage is done. If a vital location is hit, the target dies. A Withered limb cannot be Healed, but can be amputated and then Regrown or Regenerated.
