Control growth of flora.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: 10ft max

Duration: 1 post round after spell completion

Tier: 

• T2: Small scale plant manipulation equivalent to one window box or flower bed)
• T3: Large scale plant manipulation equivalent to a small yard/clearing

Effect on caster: A Terra Witch is closely tied to the element of earth. As such, they have a natural affinity for growing things. As their abilities develop, most find themselves with a knack for encouraging the growth of the plants around them. A Terra’s garden often just seems naturally more lush and fruitful than others’. With practice, they can affect larger areas and encourage greater growth. Terra become exhausted after using the ability offensively or defensively, while other casters experience less exhaustion but lose a percentage of their gem’s power until the next full moon.

Sensing the condition of the immediate environment.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: 10ft max

Duration: 1 post round after spell completion

Tier: 

• T2: Small scale up to 40 feet
• T3: Large scale up to 80 feet

Effect on caster: The Terra Witch is very in tune with their surroundings. Often, they can sense the general health and condition of the immediate environment around them. They can sense an area of about ten feet with little effort, though they may have a more habitual sense of the general health of their home environment.  Others can learn this as a spell with the required gem and will experience less exhaustion but lose a percentage of their gem’s power until the next full moon.

The ability to track an individual or an object.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: Self

Duration: 1 hour

Tier: 

• T2: +1 hour
• T3: +2 hours

Effect on caster: When this spell is cast, the Terra Witch names an individual or object (“I am tracking Bob” or “I am tracking my wallet”)  and will know the direction the target is in. If the target is moving, the witch will be able to tell what direction it is moving in. When the spell fades, the caster will be mildly disoriented for a short time, losing track of directions easily.  If the spell is cast for longer tracking, the caster will feel fatigued when it dissipates as if they’ve run a long way.

Telepathic communication with animals including Shifters and Werewolves.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: line of sight

Duration: scene

Tier: 

• T1 for Terra Witches: single animal not counting their own familiar 
• T2: up to three animals
• T3: up to ten animals (small flock of birds, pack of dogs, etc)

Effect on caster: The Terra Witch can telepathically communicate with any animal within their line of sight. This ability does not guarantee that the animal will be friendly toward them. This can be used on werewolves, shifters, and familiars with consent of the other player. While the spell is in effect, the caster will seem distracted to those observing, and upon ending the spell will develop a mild headache.

Genetic detection – the ability to sense other species (requires ooc consent).

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range:  physical contact and up

Duration: Immediate

Tier: 

• T1 for Terra Witches: upon touching the target, the Terra Witch can sense what the target’s species is. 
• T2: Small scale up to 20 ft radius
• T3: Large scale: large room or alleyway

Effect on caster: This ability has two forms. In the first, the Terra Witch touches the target and casts the spell to discern the target’s species. (the witch MUST get consent from the player). In the second form, the witch chooses a species when they cast the spell. The spell will tell them how many of that species is in the given area (20 foot radius for T2, a large room/alleyway for T3) but it will not tell them who. This spell briefly gives off an aura that supernaturals in the area of effect may take note of.

To be able to detect toxins and various poisons.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: touch

Duration: immediate

Tier: 

• T2 for Terra Witches: this level detects most of your common household toxins, prescription drugs, cleaning chemicals, pesticides, and animal venoms such as rattlesnake, copperhead, and mer-venom
• T3: this level can detect poisons that build in the body over time, such as heavy metal poisoning
• T4: This level can detect some of the most dangerous toxins, such as botulinum neurotoxin 
• T5: can detect poisons used to affect a number of people at once, such as ricin, radiation, and mustard gas (this level would be story-line dependent and require ST approval)

Effect on caster: The use of this spell will detect dangerous levels of toxins in the system, such as overdoses or actual poisonings. The more dangerous the substance, the more of a charge the spell will take from the gemstone. For example, if the affected person was bitten by a rattlesnake, it would only take 20% of the charge, but if they were suffering from lead poisoning, it would take 60% of the gem’s charge. This uncertainty, and the weakness often felt afterward, contributes to debates among Terra Witches over the benefits of the spell over traditional diagnostics.

To invoke a species to change into their true or wild form. Can affect Werewolves, Fae, Vocatis, Aquatics, and Shifters.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: 10ft max

Duration: 1 post round after spell completion

Tier: 

• T2 for Terra Witches: can force one target you can touch into a shift.
• T3:  the witch can force one target to shift at a distance of 5 feet
• T4: the witch can either force one target at 10 feet to shift, or two targets within touch range

Effect on caster: This spell gives the witch the ability to force another species to shift from one form to another, a useful trick when one runs afoul of a shifting species at the full moon. This is easier the closer you get to your target, with the least energy being spent if you can lay hands on them, there is, of course, a significant risk of getting within arm’s reach of them. At further distances (five or ten feet) you can more safely invoke the shift, but it will more quickly drain your energy reserves, leaving you weak and disoriented while still in potential danger from a now angry threat.

Slow the effects of silver poison.

Casting time: varied by tier

Components: Emerald

Range: 10ft max

Duration: takes one full post round to take effect

Tier: 

• T3  Terra Witches at this level can treat superficial wounds tainted with silver   
• T4: this level will cover most wounds inflicted with  silver weapon and slow the effects of the poison.
• T5: will slow the effects in even the most severe wounds, and potions can be administered for ingested silver.

Effect on caster: Silver is a known toxin among werewolves, shifters, and vampires, making it a popular weapon among those who would harm one of their kinds. We can slow the effects of the poison, making it more possible to clear from their system without it killing them or doing long lasting harm. If the poisoning is resulting from wounds, the witch should be able to apply their stone to the wound to help draw the silver from it. If the silver was ingested, a potion will need to be made. In an emergency, a part of your emerald may be crushed and ground down into powder, but this will permanently damage your emerald, leading to only getting a partial charge in the future and causing energy leakage until it is properly repaired by a divination witch. The far more preferable method would be to use your emerald to charge medicinal herbs to have on hand, and mix your potion from those, thereby imparting the magic more safely. This method does not, however, shield you from the side effects of using such magic. While you do slow the effects of the poison for the afflicted being, you will show some of the symptoms, albeit much milder, over a number of days depending on the severity of the poisoning.

The ability to have animal-like senses.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: 10ft max

Duration: Varies by tier

Tier: 

• T3 Terra Witches can use this spell for two post rounds
• T4: four post rounds
• T5: full scene

Effect on caster: A Terra Witch spends much of their time learning about and caring for the natural world. This familiarity has allowed them to develop spells that will allow them to, in a sense, borrow the senses of the animals they have studied, in the form of an eagle’s eyesight, a rabbit’s hearing, a bloodhound’s sense of smell, or perhaps even the spider’s ability to feel even the tiniest disturbances around them. Once the spell has been completed and the enhanced sense fades, the witch may find their own senses dulled for a period of time, leading to potential anxiety over what details they are missing in their surroundings.

The ability to heal flesh and bone.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: Touch or Potion

Duration: Varies by tier

Tier: 

• T3 for Terra Witches, heals minor wounds, scratches, bruising, etc 
• T4: the witch can heal severe wounds, lacerations, concussions, broken bones
• T5: The witch can heal life threatening wounds and internal bleeding

Effect on caster: The Terra Witch is most renowned for their abilities as a healer. In times of emergency, the witch may be able to lay hands on their patient and cure injuries that medicine itself would struggle to help. The difficulty of the spell and the amount of energy expended depend on the severity of the injury. A scraped knee may be more practical to simply wash and bandage than to expend 40% of your emerald’s charge, but a broken bone or a punctured lung would be well worth the cost to heal quickly. The healer, however must beware, as they will experience phantom symptoms for a time after the healing. Minor healings my present as simple aches, broken bones as sharp pain, or a concussion as dizziness and disorientation. This spell also may risk exposure if performed to benefit an unknowing human. Practitioner beware.

The ability to slow movement leaving a being or object in a frozen state.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: 10ft max

Duration: 2 post round after spell completion

Tier: 

• T4 for Terra Witches.
• T5 

Effect on caster: A Terra Witch is capable, in times of danger, of slowing the movement of a being or object to the point of the target being frozen in place. The target is aware for the time they are frozen, and may still speak, though it will be slower than normal. This spell does not last long, but may buy the witch precious moments to evade danger. Once the spell fades, however, the witch will find their own reflexes slowed and their reactions sluggish.

Halt Vampire or Werewolf infections from bites.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: touch to five feet

Duration: at least one scene

Tier: 

• T5 for Terra Witches.  

Effect on caster: One of the most vital abilities in the Terra Witch spellbook. Humans and witches may find themselves bitten or infected by a werewolf or Vampire. In the case of humans, this would be catastrophically life changing. For a witch, it would also mean the permanent loss of their magic and a severing of their connection to the lode. The Terra Witch can perform a cure to halt the infection. For a vampire bite, this cure can only be performed if the victim has not been fed vampire blood.  For a werewolf bite, the witch has until the next full moon to perform the cure.  It is recommended to gather a coven for this spell, as the Terra Witch will be in a state of complete exhaustion for 48 hours upon completion.

To bring someone back from the dead with in 8 hours of their passing. Requires a coven with a Terra Witch to perform.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Emerald

Range: 10ft max

Duration: 1 post round after spell completion

Tier: 

• T5 for Terra Witches. 

Effect on caster: Many accomplished Terra Witches have studied the healing arts to the point that they are capable of the truly miraculous. With the aid of their coven, a Terra Witch may be able to resuscitate a recently deceased being. They must perform this spell within eight hours of the death, or the spell will fail. This spell can not be done alone and would have dire consequences for both witch and patient if attempted without the backing of a full coven. Should the spell succeed, the Terra Witch will need the care of their coven as they will fall into a near deathlike sleep for several hours, and be in a state of exhaustion for the rest of the following 48 hours.

The ability to control weather (requires a story-line submission).

Casting time: at least one scene, with a full coven.

Components: Emerald

Range: Storyteller discretion

Duration: Storyteller discretion 

Tier: 

• T5 for Terra Witches. 

Effect on caster: The Terra Witch’s connection to the natural world can often be a comfort to those around them. But that same connection can also be wielded to terrifying effect, and none quite so terrifying as a witch that leads their coven to take control of the weather. This is not a spell to be taken lightly, one can rarely predict what will happen should one meddle with the patterns of weather. A witch may intend to simply bring a gentle shower to water their crops, and end up calling forth a torrential downpour that leads to floods and mudslides. And one should keep in mind that an unnatural thunderstorm may lead to nature overcorrecting with a drought. Consider carefully before meddling in matters as large as the weather.

The ability to manipulate water.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Ruby

Range: 10ft max

Duration: 1 post round after spell completion

Tier: 

• T2: Small scale water manipulation up to 70 gallons (equivalent to a full bathtub)
• T3: Large scale water manipulation up to 7,500 gallons (equivalent to a 10×20 pool)

Effect on caster: 

The Corpus Witch has an innate ability with the element of water. As such, they are able to manipulate liquids, moving them and raising or lowering their temperature. This can be useful for a variety of purposes. With practice, the Corpus witch can develop the endurance to wield this ability at will, but others can also learn with the required gem. A warning to Corpus wielders, you will become exhausted after using the ability offensively or defensively, while other casters experience less exhaustion but lose a percentage of their gem’s power until the next full moon.

Ability to move objects or people through will.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Ruby

Range: 30ft for an object or person up to 500 lbs

Duration: 1 post round after spell completion

Tier: 

Per use:

• T3 otherwise

Effect on caster: 

The Corpus Witch has a deep affinity for the mind. As a result, they develop telekinesis, the ability to move objects with only their mind. This ability is a manifestation of the witch’s raw will made tangible through the Lode, projected outward like a second body made of thought and pressure. It does take practice, of course, to learn control and to develop the endurance to wield this ability for longer periods, allowing for more delicate manipulations of objects.

Others can learn with the required gem. While Corpus wielders become exhausted and suffer from severe headaches after using the ability offensively or defensively, other casters experience less exhaustion and moderate headaches as well as lose a percentage of their gem’s power until the next full moon.

Increase resistance to mental manipulations.

Casting time: Standard

Components: Ruby

Range: Immediate person or shield 1 person up to 5ft away.

Duration: 1 scene

Tier:

• Cantrip for Corpus Witches however strength decreases if used more than once in a scene
• T2: for an immediate defensive block
• P: for daily use (e.g. amulet)

Effect on Caster:

The Corpus Witch’s affinity for the mind makes them particularly adept at shielding the mind from manipulation by supernatural means. With practice, they can use this ability multiple times, though this shield weakens with repeated use in a short period. Use of the ability for a defensive block may cause temporary brain fog or memory loss after execution. Passive use may leave the user feeling a bit forgetful more than usual (e.g. forget appointments, misplace keys).

To influence or weaponize emotions in a target (requires OOC consent).

Casting time: Standard 

Components: Ruby

Range: 10ft max

Duration: 1 scene

Tier:

• T1 for Corpus Witches: per use per person up to 3 players 
• T2: per use per person up to 3 players
• P: for daily use (e.g. amulet)

Effect on Caster:

A Corpus witch’s affinity for the mind imparts an ability to manipulate the emotions of others. This skill isn’t without its risks, of course. When using the spell, the witch may experience a heightened version of the opposite emotion that they were trying to create. For example, using the spell to calm another may leave the witch feeling irritated or anxious; inspiring sadness may lead to a bout of almost manic giddiness. These effects tend to last for three or more hours,  though with consistent practice, the witch may be able to shorten the duration of the side effect, (to a minimum of one hour). If the witch creates an amulet to gift to another, they will experience similar residual effects, to a lesser degree.

The ability to intrude on the thoughts of a target (requires OOC consent).

Casting time: Standard 

Components: Ruby

Range: 10ft max

Duration: 1 post

Tier:

Per use:

• T1 for Corpus Witches
• T2 otherwise

Effect on Caster:

Corpus Witches are able to quickly scan a target’s active thoughts. Often, this may be just thoughts on what the target is doing or focused on at the time, though with practice, a witch may be able to pair it with leading questions to direct the subject’s mind in the proper direction. This skill is not, however, without its drawbacks. The caster will, after using the spell, experience a ringing in the ears for a brief period (at least one post round after use of the ability). Witch beware, your target will be aware that their mind is being probed.

The ability to temporarily prompt or misdirect a target of something other wise false.

Casting time: Standard 

Components: Ruby, a quick sharp pricking to target (e.g., pin prick, pull a hair, fingernail pinch, scratch)

Range: Must be able to physically touch target

Duration: 1 scene or up to 3 days

Tier:

• T2: Corpus Witches per use
• T3: per use 
• T4: to use and to extend up to 3 days

Effect on Caster:

Just as a cowboy guides a horse with the sharp press of a spur, a Corpus Witch can steer the mind with a brief, well-placed sting. This spell uses a flicker of pain, typically a pinprick delivered through direct physical contact, to distract the target long enough for the witch to embed a false truth. The sensation opens a narrow window, allowing the witch to focus their will and speak the idea they wish the target to believe.

Under normal conditions, the effect lasts only a few hours (typically one scene), but with concentrated effort and a surge of additional Lode, the illusion can persist for up to three days. However, such manipulation is not without cost: after casting, the witch develops a subtle but persistent eye twitch that lingers for a full week, a telltale mark that the mind was used as a weapon.

The ability to project your voice or mimic another (requires OOC consent from player(s) affected).

Casting time: Standard 

Components: Ruby

Range: 5ft max

Duration: 1 scene

Tier:

Per Use:

• T2 Corpus Witches
• T3 otherwise

Effect on Caster:

A Corpus Witch’s influence over the mind and human body allows them to manipulate their own vocal cords to either project their voice or perfectly mimic another voice. In the case of projection, the witch can make it seem their voice is located up to 20 feet away from their position.  In the case of mimicry, they can make their voice sound identical to one target. The change to the voice should last for no more than three hours, though when the effect wears off, the witch will have a dry cough and hoarse voice for 24 hours.

Increase the body temperature between 100.5 – 140F°/40 to 60 C° (requires OOC consent from player(s) affected).

Casting time: Standard 

Components: Ruby, free hand to touch target

Range: 2ft max

Duration: 1 scene or 60 minutes rp time if the effect should extend the scene

Tier:

• Corpus Witches: (T2) – 20% per use
• (T3) – 40% per use 

Effect on Caster:

The ability to manipulate the body and its functions is always a potential risk. Few skills make that as clear as this one. The witch can, with focus and careful channeling, increase the body’s temperature between 100.5 and 140 degrees.  Obviously, much care should be taken to ensure that the temperature is not manipulated too carelessly, as driving it too high can cause permanent damage or death. The effects of the spell on the target will last no more than an hour in most cases.  The caster, however, will notice their skin may redden as if freshly sunburned or they may experience hot flashes and profuse sweating for the next twelve hours.

Momentarily accelerate muscle growth and reaction time. Can enhance physical speed, pain tolerance, and reflexes.

Casting time: Standard 

Components: Ruby

Range: Target must be within 10ft max

Duration: 1 scene

Tier:

Per use:

• T3 Corpus Witches
• T4 otherwise 

Effect on Caster:

Humans are often capable of extreme feats in times of duress. The Corpus Witch is gifted with the ability to tap into that potential through the use of the Lode, either in their own abilities or that of a nearby target. Over the next hour, the target of the spell will have either strength or speed beyond that of an average human.  This, of course, does not come without a cost. Once the effects wear off, both the caster and target will experience immediate exhaustion and muscle soreness. If used repeatedly, could lead to nerve damage.

Deliberately arouse and/or amplify a target(s) fear.

Casting time: Standard 

Components: Ruby

Range: Target must be within 10ft max

Duration: 1 scene

Tier:

Per use:

• T3 Corpus Witches
• T4 otherwise

Effect on Caster:

The Corpus Witch can pinpoint a target’s fears and amplify them through focus and the Lode. This is not an instant effect, of course, and takes a moment of focus to pinpoint and manipulate the fear. Care should be taken in use, as any terrified and cornered creature can be dangerous.  This spell is often used offensively to strike or escape as the target is consumed with irrational fear or reaction. Once the spell is cast, the witch themself may feel irritable or jumpy for the next twenty four hours.

To overwhelm someone’s mind with whispers, intrusive thoughts, or confusion.

Casting time: Standard 

Components: Ruby

Range: Target must be within 10ft max

Duration: 1 scene

Tier:

Per use:

• T3 Corpus Witches
• T4 otherwise 

Effect on Caster:

This spell enables the Corpus Witch to overwhelm a target’s mind with a cacophony of phantom voices—whispers, screams, murmurs, and shouts, each layered and shifting in tone. It can be used to sow doubt, steer decisions, or unravel a person’s mental clarity entirely. The effect is unpredictable, as every mind responds differently to the intrusion; some may hesitate, others may spiral.

Casting this spell comes at a cost. For the next twenty-four hours, the witch’s own senses, particularly hearing, become painfully heightened. Even soft sounds may feel sharp and invasive, like pins behind the eyes or pressure in the skull. Silence becomes a sanctuary rarely found.

The act of bringing, recalling, or suggesting a feeling, memory or image to the conscious mind. (requires OOC consent from player(s) affected) 

Casting time: Standard 

Components: Ruby, free hand to touch target

Range: 2ft max

Duration: 1 scene

Tier:

Per use:

• T4 Corpus Witches
• T5 otherwise

The Corpus Witch may reach into the surface thoughts of a target, drawing forward deeply buried memories, emotions, or images and projecting them outward like a veil across their own form. To do this, the witch must make physical contact with their target and concentrate their will upon what lies hidden beneath.

The memory summoned is not spoken aloud or revealed directly; instead, it shapes the witch’s appearance in the eyes of the target. If the memory is one of love, longing, or beauty, the witch may appear breathtaking, even divine. If the memory holds fear, guilt, or horror, the witch becomes monstrous, an embodiment of what the target dreads most. The effect is sudden, jarring, and powerful enough to disorient, distract, or confuse the target, buying the witch precious moments to act, flee, or strike.

In conjuring a memory from another, the witch must sacrifice one of their own. Minor recollections like names, routines, and small comforts may fade after a casual probe. But if the summoned memory was vivid or emotionally charged, the cost to the witch is greater: the sudden loss of a cherished moment, the face of a loved one, or the fading of something once deeply familiar.

As such, even among Corpus Witches, Mirror of the Mind is used sparingly. It is not the kind of magic one casts lightly; it is a bargain made in seconds, paid for in years.

Sever a connection or bond between two individuals (requires OOC consent from player(s) affected).

Casting time: Standard 

Components: Ruby, blood or hair from both targets

Range: Targets don’t need to be in immediate range if blood or hair has been obtained.

Duration: 1 scene

Tier:

• T5
• T4 with a Coven

Effect on Caster:

While Corpus Witches are known for forging bonds of mind and will, they are equally capable of unmaking them. This rare and solemn gift is often called upon to protect loved ones from enchantments, compulsions, or unnatural attachments, whether cast by witches or by those meddling in forbidden arts, or other species.

To sever a bond, the witch must possess something intimate from both parties: hair, blood, or bone, ideally willingly given. If the bond was imposed without consent, this proves more difficult, the bound may resist, and the original caster rarely offers their trace freely.

Once the required components are gathered, the ritual may begin. The unweaving of such entanglements demands immense concentration and force of will, leaving the witch drained at a soul-deep level.

• When performed alone, the witch may experience physical weakness, confusion, and emotional numbness for up to 48 hours.
• With the aid of another witch, the recovery time shortens to 24 hours.
• Conducted with the full power of a coven, the toll is reduced to 12 hours, though a lingering ache may persist.

Even when successful, some threads are never fully erased, echoes may remain, especially if the bond was forged through trauma, obsession, or blood.

To sever is to protect. But it is also to bleed.

Concord of the Mind is a sacred, and sometimes forbidden, Corpus rite used to unify or overwrite the thoughts of a group. When cast, this spell links the minds of multiple individuals, aligning their perceptions, beliefs, and emotional states around a central narrative or truth chosen by the lead witch.

The result is a psychic harmony: shared memories may be implanted, specific knowledge forgotten, or emotional tensions resolved as if they never existed. In communities, this spell can end feuds, restore lost cohesion, or even rewrite history. In darker applications, it can be used to indoctrinate, suppress rebellion, or bind a group to a false belief for the sake of control or protection.

Casting time: Standard 

Components: 3 fully charged rubies, list of targets to be affected unless targets are present.

Range: 25 miles max

Duration: Permanent unless reversed by the same witches that cast it.

Tier:

• T5: Performed by one lead Corpus witch with the support of a coven (minimum of 5)

Effects on Caster

The Corpus witch often suffers a temporary loss of identity, taking on emotional echoes of those linked in the rite. Recovery may take weeks. In rare cases, the witch permanently adopts traits or thoughts from the group.

Supporting witches experience lingering side effects, shared dreams, confusion about what memories are truly their own, or emotional bleeding between minds for several days.

If the spell is cast on unwilling participants, fractured psyches, emotional detachment, or long-term mental instability may occur.
