Tentative Moon Mage M3 List · on 9/22/2010 8:34:55 PM 334
Where "no meaningful change" is listed, the function of the spell is unaltered. Spell difficulty, mana costs, and bonus amounts are presumed across the board to be edited as part of the Magic 3 standardization process and are not worthy of noting in every single spell.

Please read the entire list prior to addressing if a spell seems to be gone from it. Many spells have changed books, some have been renamed or rolled into new spells.

PERCEPTION:

Aura Sight
Basic Augmentation. No meaningful change.

Clear Vision
Introductory Augmentation. No meaningful change.

Distant Presence
Advanced Utility. Extends the user's senses to the location of one of his beams, as well as provides the user the ability to "speak" through it.

Locate
Advanced Utility. Provides description of target's location, can find hidden/invisible and pierce player-created means of anti-scrying with sufficient skillcheck. No longer has "Scry" function (see, appropriately enough, Scry below).

Piercing Gaze
Basic Augmentation. Pierces cloud cover and provides a Disarm + Lockpicking skill bonus.

Seer's Sense
Advanced Augmentation/Utility. As before, except that Seer's Link can be resisted. Target of the Seer's Link will be given 30 seconds to agree to be linked, if not it will be resolved as an Offensive spell with the caster's success forcing the link to occur anyways.

Scry
Esoteric Utility. Radial search around target, which may be self or a distant target. Can gain spot effect on hidden/invisible subjects in range of the search.

Tenebrous Sense
Basic Augmentation. See in the dark + Foraging skill bonus. Possibly renamed.




PSYCHIC PROJECTION:

Calm
Introductory Debilitation. Charm versus Will spell that causes the target to be unable to attack, is immediately removed if the target is victim of another attack.

Hypnotize
Advanced Debilitation. Charm versus Will spell that makes the target regard the caster as friendly and allows the caster to issue simple orders.

Mental Blast
Esoteric Debilitation. Mind versus Will disabler that stuns the target, causes nervous system damage and can cause the target to drop what he is holding. If the target is a PC, any dropped objects will return to the target's hand after the stun has worn off.

Psychic Shield
Basic Warding. Provides protection against supernatural effects that are resisted by Will, magic or otherwise.

Shadowling
Details still need to be hammered out. The +attunement regen effect is approved for Moon Mages, but there's a lot of technical oddities about this spell that may get squished.

Shadow Servant
Esoteric Utility. No meaningful change.

Sleep
Basic Debilitation. Mind versus Will disabler that causes unconsciousness.

Thoughtcast
Advanced Utility. Provides the caster with magical access to the gwethdesuan network, and allows him to send private messages to other characters.

Return Thought
Metaspell. Allows the recipient of a private Thoughtcast to send a response to the caster.




MOONLIGHT MANIPULATION:

Clarify Gem
Candidate for removal.

Crystal Spike
Advanced TM. Functionally no meaningful change, but messaging and name may be changed.

Darkness
Candidate for removal.

Dazzle
Basic Debilitation, Magic versus Fortitude stunner.

Dinazen Olkar
Basic TM. No thrills, single-target TM damage.

Focus Moonbeam
Introductory Utility. Zero slot spell.

Invisibility
Basic Utility. Provides invisibility to the Moon Mage.

Refractive Field
Cyclic Utility. Provides invisibilty to the Moon Mage and his group.

Shadow Web
Cyclic Debilitation. AoE disabler, unbalancer, and substantial penalities w/o night sight effect. "Turns room into shadowy hellscape." Possibly will not make release.

Shadows
Introductory Augmentation. No meaningful change.

Shift Moonbeam
Candidate for removal, see Mirror Wraith below.




TRANSDUCTION:

Burn
Advanced TM. Single target DFA.

Cage of Light
Advanced Warding. No meaningful change.

Imbue
Moved to Analogous Patterns spellbook.

Invocation of Energy
Advanced Augmentation. Much longer duration, the 2x casting scheme will go away with the advent of the Ritual spell type. No meaningful change to function.

Moonblade
Esoteric Utility. Summons a single-form moonblade that can serve as a spell battery.

Shape Moonblade
Metaspell. Allows the user to shape their moonblade into multiple forms.

Telekinetic Throw
Basic TM. Single target multishot TM spell.

Telekinetic Storm
Advanced TM. AoE TM.

Seal of Deflection
Moved to Analogous Patterns spellbook.

Shear
Esoteric Warding. Resists all spells cast on or by the user, though the user's own spells are penalized less. If a spell is repelled by Shear, the target is subject to a reactive stun.

Unleash
Advanced Utility. No meaningful change.




TELEPORTATION:

Contingency
Advanced Utility. No meaningful change.

Moongate
Cyclic Utility. At additional cost, caster may leave gate open despite dragging someone, moving through it, or otherwise abandoning the location of the initial casting.

Partial Displacement
Basic TM. Single target damager. New damage messaging planned.

Riftal Summons
Esoteric Utility. Can be cast only at distance, with a Seer's Linked target. Creates a rift at the location of the subject which he may choose to enter, bringing him to the caster's location. This teleportation is permanent.

Ripple
Esoteric Debilitation/Utility. Sends the target, who may be the caster himself, into a no-space realm for a brief time. Afterward, the target will return to some random area nearby where the spell was cast. Can also be used to wipe the room clean of junk items (but not items of value).

Teleport
Advanced Utility. No meaningful change.

Whole Displacement
Basic Warding. Helps the caster maintain a specified engagement range with his targets. No stun.




STELLAR MAGIC:

Mirror Wraith
Cyclic Utility. Transfer's the caster's mind and senses into a body of moonlight, separate from his own, mortal shell. The Mirror Wraith form is invulnerable, though the caster's body is vulnerable while he is out and his soul will take damage during the sojourn. The Mirror Wraith transforms into a moonbeam upon completion of the spell.

Shadewatch Mirror
Esoteric Utility. No meaningful change.

Starlight Sphere
Cyclic TM. Summons a sphere of deadly starlight as a combat pet. May only be cast at night, but will persist through the day.




TELEOLOGIC SORCERY:

Tangled Fate
Esoteric Utility/Debilitation. No meaningful change.

Tezirah's Veil
Esoteric Debilitation. Blinds the subject with visions of the future. May produce unforseen side effects.

Sever Thread
Esoteric Debilitation. As now, but may also be cast remotely upon a Seer's Link target.
