Brown Magic : Levels 4-6

We grow near the end of our long chromatic journey. I thank you for your patience. Up here is where stuff gets ... Biblical.

So let it be written ... so let it be done!

Reincarnation - one of the most simultaneously fun and annoying spells out there. "Dude ... you're a badger." Sylvan Being Table (and guidelines for playing them!) coming with the complete spell descriptions, most likely in a pdf-tipware format.

Animal Growth is meant to combo with one of the low level animal control or summoning spells.

I could not resist the tribute to Metallica. But did resist the tribute to Vangelis.

Brown Magic Supplement

Turns out Brown Magic really needs 4 spells/level at the high levels.

So here are the 4th spells for the first three levels.

All three of these, in my view, really add to the problem solving and creative use potential of this magic school.

Level 1

4	Heat Metal	Brown	30’	6 rounds	None
Metal weapon does 1d3 extra damage; metal armor burns wearer in 1 round for 1d3 damage/round; metal held objects dropped

Brown Magic: Levels 1-3

"A strange race of  people ... the Druids ..." Although some of these spells also show up in the clerical lists. The main theme is somewhat different from the other color schools - it is the realm of what is affected, rather than functionally what is done, that unites these spells. This sets up Brown magic to be the primal, original, shamanic form of nature magic, and represent the control over natural forces that's present in many conceptions of magic - from Merlin's ravens to Elisha's bears.

As with sacred magic, the Brown spells are only a core for any possible druid, nature cleric, or hedge witch character class. Certainly there are forms of healing, protective, charm, attack, etc. magic that fit very well into those classes.

Yes, Brown's better in the outdoors ... but I've tried to include more spells of general utility and jettison some of the more notorious clunkers (um ... Shillelagh anyone?)

Sacred Magic: Level 5 & 6 Spell List

The upper two levels of sacred magic, before we get on to the Great Mysteries.

Some of these spells are controversial ... O Death (and her little sister Level Drain), where is thy sting? James Raggi left raise and restoration effects out of his Lamentations rules entirely, to make the scary stuff scarier. The level drain argument has been hashed over many times - in a world running rife with wights, wraiths, vampires, spectres and so on, is it really fair to let drained levels stick? I figure it is easier to include the appropriate spell and let DMs exclude it, than the other way around.

Divine Intervention, if it was just Word of Recall, would properly be Silver magic. I've added more creative ways for the Divine to get you out of trouble, closing the lions' mouths, building a cage of fire around you ... of course, the god/DM is the one who chooses.
