August’s Spellbook

August Appleberry spell book

Magic

Arcana Praeditus:

Metation

Arcana Initium:

Illusion

Preferred Foci: Hand signs, or glyphs for stealth. If he uses glyphs, he has a limited supply of glyph cards kept in a pocket. They get burned out of sight, out of mind. Sometimes, he runs out and has to burn life energy through gestures. Doing so tired him out and can weaken him or his immune system.

Magical Theme:

Hexes and Mind Tricks. Minor illusions.

Snap Spell: (A spell of your Arcana Praeditus that you learned innately when you became a Mystic)

Mind Hex - aka Suggestion. August hexes someone, to affect their mind. If their mind is affected, they may be less inhibited and more willing to entertain reasonable sounding suggestions. Suggestions that lead to physical harm instantly fail.

Secondary spell:


Minor Illusion: He has practiced making minor illusions. August can create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for 1 minute. The object cannot be larger than a 5 foot cube, and the sound cannot be loud enough to cause harm. Physical examination can reveal it to be false.


AdditionalSpells

Inspiration
August can inspire someone with timely words. This inspiration lasts 10 minutes. The spell boosts confidence, and clears away mental distractions, allowing someone temporarily to be the best them they can be. Once while it lasts, one time, they may be able to recall something, be better at a skill, be more accurate, or resist/avoid the effects of an attack. Or not. Who knows?

Discovered in the battle for the mansion by accident, when he inspired Carrick to he faster… and also inspired the cataclysm to be more effective in destroying the mansion. Um. Or maybe the last one was just an unintentional side effect of a really good Suggestion. Inspiration is a tweaked mind hex.
