Prepare Spells
When you spend uninterrupted time (an hour or so) in quiet contemplation of your spellbook, you:

•Lose any spells you already have prepared

•Prepare new spells of your choice from your spellbook whose total levels don’t exceed your own level+1.

•Prepare your cantrips which never count against your limit.

Cast a Spell
When you release a spell you’ve prepared, roll+Int.

✴On a 10+, the spell is successfully cast and you do not forget the spell—you may cast it again later.

✴On a 7-9, the spell is cast, but choose one:

•You draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot. The GM will tell you how.

•The spell disturbs the fabric of reality as it is cast—take -1 ongoing to cast a spell until the next time you Prepare Spells.

•After it is cast, the spell is forgotten. You cannot cast the spell again until you prepare spells.

Note that maintaining spells with ongoing effects will sometimes cause a penalty to your roll to cast a spell.

Spell Defense
You may end any ongoing spell immediately and use the energy of its dissipation to deflect an oncoming attack. The spell ends and you subtract its level from the damage done to you.

Ritual
When you draw on a place of power to create a magical effect, tell the GM what you’re trying to achieve. Ritual effects are always possible, but the GM will give you one to four of the following conditions:

•First you must ____
