To cast a Spell, you need to combine one or more magical words together. In addition, your character must be able to speak the words. The Spell Level of a Spell is equal to the amount of words used in the Spell. This also determines the Difficulty of casting a Spell. While casting a Spell without tools is possible, it is rather difficult. Getting a staff, wand or any other kind of spellcasting focus will make performing magic a lot easier.
A Spell consists of two components; The Words and the Intent. The Words tell you what a Spell does, but the Intent is context; it helps shape the Words. Essentially, the Intent is the desired effect of the Spell as described by the Player.

You do not have to pick one word from every category and you may use words more than once (or multiple words from the same category).
While Spells can be created with a single word, a single word often does not do enough on its own to manifest as an Effect. A Spell using only the word “Fire”, for example, is unable to do anything by itself. “Manifest” combined with “Fire”, however…

Whispered Spells:
Normally, spells must be spoken aloud to be cast. However, you may impose 1 Disadvantage on your Check in order to whisper the words of the Spell instead of speaking them loudly. If you are unable to produce sound with your voice (being Muted, or having your mouth covered, etc.) you are still unable to cast a Spell entirely.

Scale Words: When you are only able to cast spells with a Spell Level of one, consider adding “Minor” as Alteration. Minor Manifest Fire, for example, has a Spell Level of 1. Minor Stone Projectile may even be used to turn an ordinary pebble into a projectile.

Range: Unless specified otherwise, Spells have a maximum range equal to your Wizardry Level times ten in metres. Going above this range gives the Wizardry check for your Spell a Disadvantage for every additional ten metres.

Duration: Effects last for a single turn, or ten seconds out of combat. When an effect ends, however, the result is not undone. Turning a brick into water means the brick remains water. Charming someone, however, will end the Charm on that person. Alteration can change the duration of a Spell.

Control: You have Control over a Spell until your turn ends. While you have Control, you can often change how a Spell behaves. Losing Control means you can no longer directly influence the Spell. Look for the Control keyword on an Action word to see how an ongoing Spell can be manipulated.

When dealing damage, the check you made also determines the damage done.

You start with three words from the Material and Action categories each and one from the Alteration category when you take your first level in Wizardry. To learn more words, either find someone willing to teach, or study ancient tomes. Learning a word takes more than simply hearing it mentioned, or reading its name. It means to fully comprehend the weight and magical meaning of the word, which may take time and effort. In addition, you gain one more word from a single category whenever you gain another Wizardry Proficiency Level.

Words of Action describe events. Alone they do little, but they bind the other words together. Words between <brackets> show compatibility with Material words. You can only use the Action on a Material Word if the Material contains the entirety of the compatibility in its type.

Animate <Substance/Energy>

Fill a lifeless target with an energy bound to your will, giving it a semblance of life. Animated objects do not have body parts, instead having a single HP value equal to your Wizardry Proficiency Difficulty. Maximum size is one metre, increasing by another metre and gaining one additional hit point for each Alteration Level. If your animated object attacks, it does so with a Proficiency Level equal to your Wizardry Proficiency Difficulty.
An animated target is given a task when the spell is cast; this must be a single simple command, which can contain no conditions. Animated objects without limbs can have limited movement by wiggling, bouncing, or rolling.
Control: Give the animated target a new command as a Quick Action.

<Substance> Become <Substance>

- Rank: 3

Permanently change one lifeless thing into another thing of roughly the same value. Maximum area altered is 0.5m³, increasing by 1m³ per Alteration Level, with a minimum of 0.1m³. Requires maintained Control.

Charm <Living Being>

Command <Living Being>

Command a living being that can hear you to follow a single order. If the roll to cast this spell succeeds, compare it again against the target’s Willpower Difficulty. Alteration Levels above 1 grant an Advantage on this comparison. Orders that last longer than a single turn require the use of Prolong. A target can attempt a Willpower Check at the start of each of its turns, gaining a +1 Advantage for each time it took damage since the last time it tried a Willpower Check to break free. Requires maintained Control.

Cool <Substance>

Permanently change the flavour of a target.
Control: Change the flavour again as a free action.

Hide <Living Being/Energy/Substance>

Make a target emit light for one turn. With Alteration Level 1, this can temporarily blind nocturnal animals. On Level 2, it can temporarily blind diurnal animals and people.

Message <Living Being>

Prevent a target from making any sound for one turn. A Minor Mute can hide footsteps and whispers; a Mundane Mute can hide voices; a Major Mute can hide noises of combat and yelling; a Greater Mute can hide noises of gunshots and explosions.

Control: Change the direction of your projectile as a free action.

Protect <Substance/Living Being>

You can only translocate to places you can currently see, or that you have Marked. Requires maintained Control.

These words change the Spell itself. Larger, Smaller, Quicker or Longer. They mold the Spell closer to the Intent. These words may also indicate an Alteration Level which may affect other words.

Minor

- Rank: 1

This word reduces the Spell Level by one, instead of increasing it by one. Minor effects are rarely capable of causing harm and often fit in the palm of your hand (resulting in a -1 Disadvantage on a Check made for the effect, for example). A spell cast using this word will have an Alteration Level of 0.

Mundane

- Rank: 0

Mundane spells are unchanged. This word has no effect on the Spell Level and does not increase it by one like other words would. Spells that are not anything else are always Mundane; even if the word Mundane is not used, it is implied. A spell cast using this word will have an Alteration Level of 1.
This word does not need to be learned, as it is always available.

Major

- Rank: 1

This word increases the effect of the spell. It increases the Spell Level by one. A spell cast using this word will have an Alteration Level of 2.

Greater

- Rank: 3

This word greatly increases the effect of a spell. It increases the Spell Level by two instead of one. A spell cast using this word will have an Alteration Level of 3.

Distant

- Rank: 2

This word turns a spell that is normally delivered by touch into one that can be applied from a distance, provided the target is within line of sight. This word increases the Spell Level by one. Ranged spells have their maximum range doubled.

Lingering

- Rank: 2

Lingering spells remain active after casting. They continue indefinitely until that is no longer possible, after which the spell ends. You lose Control of the spell after casting it. This word increases the Spell Level by one.

Prolonged

- Rank: 1

Prolonged spells can be maintained by spending an Action (or Short Action, if Quickened) to continue the effect on the following turn without requiring a second Check. This word increases the Spell Level by one. You gain a level of Fatigue for each minute (six combat turns) of Prolonging. As long as you continue to Prolong the spell, you maintain Control over it.

Quickened

- Rank: 2

Quickened spells can be used as Reactions or Short Actions. This limits the total word count to two, in addition to this word. This word has no effect on the Spell Level and does not increase it by one like other words would.
