Your love for another occupies your every thought, and you become despondent when you are away from that person.

Bloodlust: The sound of painful grunts, the pain of new wounds, the scent of blood in the air. You are in the thick of it, there is no escape for your enemy. Your anger is at full tilt, unable to control yourself you lunge forwards with nightmarish strength. You may roll your combat dice twice, once per combat.

COMBAT

Safe Path: The Safe Path skill allows you to find the safest path through unfamiliar territory by contacting an elemental spirit and discussing the terrain with it. He does not conjure the elemental, he only establishes mental contact with it. Sometimes the elemental animates a part of the nearby landscape, making its conversation “audible” to other characters. Unless you have knowledge of the elemental’s language, the elemental will only communicate using “sign language,” utilizing its native element to produce simple, but effective, signals which you will need to translate.

Trap Wrecker : You can disarm a mundane trap with brute force. Once per adventure, if a trap has been detected and found, a brawler may simply disarm the trap by smashing the thing to bits with their brute force.

Whatever's Handy: In a pinch, a brawler can grab just about anything that is not a weapon and use it for a makeshift weapon, such as chairs, bottles, hunks of rock, etc. You may use this makeshift weapon with any of your normal unarmed bonuses and tech rolls up to as many rounds as your gemstone rank. So, a Crystal could use it for one round, while a Sapphire could use it four rounds.

COMBAT EFFECTS

Anchored Step: (Transmutation) Powerful tendrils grow out of the bottom of your feet or footwear, partially anchoring you to the ground and making it more difficult for others to move you against your will. These tendrils dig into any surface, but leave no trace of your passing. You may use this spell to resist any one bull rush, overrun, pull, push, reposition, or trip, as well as any other effect that would move you from your current position (such as being swallowed whole) or knock you prone. The tendrils slow your movement, however; your speed is reduced by 10 feet. This spell has no effect if you are moving without touching the ground (climbing, flying, swimming, and so on).

Argentum Scourge: This causes one weapon to be considered silver for one full combat.

Slime Harden: (Transmutation) You cause the outer surface of the target ooze to harden negating an ooze's engulf and split special abilities.

Spell Turn: This spell stops a non-damaging regged spell (such as a Hold, or a Weaken) in its tracks, and turns the arcane energy right back to the caster, causing them to be hit with the spell instead. The new target must pass the spell save of the original caster or suffer the effects.

SKILL EFFECTS

Create Handholds: You create a path of handholds on earthen, plaster, stone, or wooden walls. The handholds are created in pairs and are approximately 3 feet apart, located in a specific path indicated by your gestures while casting the spell. The handholds' path can span up to 30 feet out from you plus an additional 10 feet per gemstone level The handholds protrude approximately 6 inches from the wall, measure 10 inches lengthwise, and are perfectly suited for gripping with fingers or claws.

Detect Secret Doors: You can detect secret doors, compartments, caches, and so forth. Only passages, doors, or openings that have been specifically constructed to escape detection are detected by this spell.

Dungeonsight: You receive a clear and memorable view of the layout of chambers, barriers, and connecting passages within the area of effect. This spell does not reveal the contents or inhabitants of any of these locations, only the basic architecture of the space. For example, a staircase leading up to a pair of doors would be apparent, but the iron golems guarding the doors would not. This spell does identify the locations of secret doors and hidden passages but gives no clue as to the means of opening or accessing them.

Dust of Twilight: A shower of iridescent black particles clings to and extinguishes torches, lanterns, sunrods, and similar mundane light sources in the area.

Equilibrium: You can adjust your body’s equilibrium to correspond with any solid or liquid that you stand on. Thus, you can walk on water, quicksand, or even a spider’s web without sinking or breaking through for one encounter.

Endure Elements: (Abjuration) A creature protected by endure elements suffers no harm from being in a hot or cold environment. It can exist comfortably in conditions between –50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit without having to make Endurance saves. The creature's equipment is likewise protected. Endure elements doesn't provide any protection from fire or cold damage, nor does it protect against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth.

Hairline Fractures: (Transmutation [earth]) With a touch, you create temporary hairline fractures throughout a piece of stone or anything crafted of an earth type substance. This causes the DC of whatever you are attempting to shatter to be decreased by 1 for each gemstone rank of the caster.

Sand Shroud: (Evocation [sand]) This spell causes sand or loose earth to open up under a target like a grave, and then swallow it up instantly. Enough sand or earth must be present - for example, the spell works in a desert setting or barren field, but not on cultivated land or solid rock. A target creature must be dead, or something that never has lived. Its size must be "large" or less. It is buried 60 feet deep, without any mark or trace on the surface of its grave. This is typically used to quickly hide treasure, or the evidence of a fatal fight.

Sand Whisper [Alteration [sand]) This spell causes silence in an area immediately surrounding a touched item or creature. All sounds emitted by the creature or item are muffled and are transmitted far away and emitted in a random location. If resistant, a save is required. Usually, this is used to muffle sounds from the party such as busting down a door, or a particularly rattling set of armor when sneaking is necessary.

Snowsight: The subject gains the ability to see to the normal limits of its vision even in whiteout conditions, and ignores all penalties due to snow glare and snow blindness. This basically gives normal sight, in wintry conditions.

FLAVOR

Brightmatter: (Conjuration [light]) You create a luminous mass of ectoplasm that generates bright light in a 20-foot radius and shadowy light in a 40-foot radius. The mass is sticky and pliable, and can adhere to inanimate objects, walls, ceilings, floors, and so on. You can divide the brightmatter into smaller separate pieces, but doing so reduces the amount of light that each piece sheds. Brightmatter does not shed heat.
1 piece: 20ft bright, 40ft shadowy
2 pieces: 15ft bright, 30ft shadowy
3 pieces: 10ft bright, 20ft shadowy
4 pieces: 5ft bright, 10ft shadowy

Clandestine Conversation: (Illusion) The targets can converse without anyone overhearing what they are saying. Creatures who can read lips might still be able to determine what is said, but no Perception check can possibly allow one to overhear the conversation. While under the effect of this spell, a target creature can speak to someone not affected by this spell, but everyone can hear that conversation normally. Only when one target creature speaks to the other target creature does the conversation remain private.

Determine Depth: (Divination) With a touch, you can determine the exact thickness of a wall, ceiling, or other solid barrier, measuring from the point you are touching to the direct opposite side of the barrier in a straight line. You can only detect depths or widths of up to 10 feet per gemstone level; amounts in excess of this limit are detected as being the maximum you are able to detect. So, for example, an Amber level mage using this spell on a 60-foot-thick wall would detect that the wall is 30 feet thick. Determine depth can be used on earthen, plaster, stone, or wooden surfaces, but not on walls made of metal or other, harder materials. This spell is useful to casters who want to get an idea of their surroundings, and as a preliminary measure to casting spells such as passwall or dimension door.

Glimpse Past the Barrier: (Chronomancy) This spell allows the caster to see through any barrier or boundary within 60 ft. so long as the barrier or obstruction was clear at some time in the past. Essentially, the caster sees through the door or barrier when it was open, shifting his senses back to the present on the other side.

DUAL

Sandspray: (Alteration [sand]) This causes a pillar of sand to rise 30 feet high around one creature. It causes damage when it erupts, but it also blinds them with the flying sand for as many rounds as allowed.
