• Spell Book

  Ayrik is a fairly knowledgeable warlock with an intense number of curses and spells in his spell book. He specializes in spells of ancient and dark origins, including those of the abyssal and infernal planes. Many of his spells are meant to be used in a utility aspect, but he knows many strong curses and even a few offensive spells for combat purposes.
  
  Abyssal Magic
  
  Abyssal Magic is relative to the planes of demonic entities of a realm of chaos and destruction.
  
  Evocation of Hellfire : Hellfire is a type of energy resembling the attributes of fire - it destroys what it touches and gives off intense heat. Hellfire, however, is not mundane fire. Hellfire may only burn living creatures - though it may adhere briefly to non-living surfaces - and can not be put out with water - or other forms of smothering. It may be extinguished through any source of holy energy and can not be cast on holy ground.
  
  Curse of Destruction : This curse evokes a single destructive entity on a target - death, famine, plague, and war. These curses can be cured through holy energies and remain dormant on holy ground, though resume activity once leaving holy ground. This curse is touched based and requires freshly drawn blood as a catalyst - the source of blood is arbitrary.
  

  • Death curse is a strong jolt of negative energy which saps the life force of the one cursed. This energy will render the target physically weak as well transfer negative energy to living creatures - killing smaller ones (birds, cats, dogs) and temporary weakening larger creatures (such as humans, orcs, elves) - that the cursed one touches. This negative energy draws in the undead as well, who can have a range of interests ranging from curiosity to a desire to feed upon of the one cursed.
    
  • Famine causes all food touched to turn to ash.
    
  • Plague inflicts a number of hideous diseases upon the cursed - often resulting in sightly rashes, pox, coughing, vomiting, and other terrible effects.
    
  • War puts the victim of the curse in a constant state of unstable and violent rage. This curse has an empathic aura that causes others to desire to hurt the cursed one - particularly those that are war-like or suffer from issues of rage as well.

  
  
  Infernal Magic
  
  Infernal magic is relative to the plane of devils, where creatures of knowledge and deception reside.
  
  Curse of Sin : A curse of sin exacerbates the targets desires to the point that they have painful withdraws, but prevents them from receiving satisfaction. These curses have a touch based delivery. Holy energies may dispel these curses and standing on holy ground will force the curse to lay dormant - though returns to activity upon leaving holy ground.
  

  • Pride curses the victim with failure. No matter how hard they try to accomplish even the most basic tasks they will persistently fail.
    
  • Wrath curses the victim with weakness and rage. While cursed they have a desire to hurt others, but find that they're unable to lift a hand against them. While cursed even the most mild insults are believed to be grievous.
    
  • Greed curses the victim with poverty. Items of value slip from their hands out of their control. Even containers such as bags filled gold can not be held as they fall away.
    
  • Lust curses the victim with impotence and illness when confronted with a sexual situation - leading to vomiting, intestinal distress, and weakness.
    
  • Gluttony curses the victim with the desire to eat, but never feel full. The curse will cause the victim to eat any food he or she sees compulsively.
    
  • Sloth curses the victim with insomnia, preventing them from sleeping though keeping them persistently fatigued.
    
  • Envy curses the victim with the desire to take anything they consider valuable from those around them - including lovers, children, and friends - but are entranced at the sight of the object and may only stare at it until it is no longer within sight.

  
  Invocation of Truth : This infernal spell rips the truth from a target - though that target may word that truth however they please. A single entity may only be affected by this spell once a day. This spell may not take effect on holy ground and creatures of divinity - or creatures who have devoted their life to a divine cause or entity - are more resistant to its effects (possibly immune).
  
  Beguiling Tongue : A single lie is told with a infernal energy that makes the listener believe it to be true - no matter how outrageous. This may only target one making eye contact with the caster. Anyone not making eye contact can hear how ridiculous or unlikely the lie is, though may have difficulty convincing the one being lied to (depending on the closeness of their relationship).
  
  Eldritch Magic
  
  Eldritch magic is summoned from creatures much like gods who wield cosmic and ancient energies, but are more primal in nature than celestials or abyssals.
  
  True Darkness : A void of true darkness and filled with strong illusions. Those captured within its range are bitten by cold that numbs the body, are haunted by phantoms that seem to stand out against the darkness, taste blood within their mouth, surrounded by the aroma of rot, and hear screams in their own voice. The darkness is designed to affect ones sense of direction, often twisting them off course so they can not simply walk out of the darkness in a straight line. Those immune to illusions are unaffected by everything but the darkness itself. Those with low-light vision can make out shapes and those with other forms of vision or true vision can be unaffected by the darkness completely.
  
  Dread Aspect : An object or creature is given the powerful and maddening aura of an eldritch god causing unbearable terror in those who look upon it. This fear is unshakable, but the incredibly brace may ignore it enough to simply refuse approach - rather than run or rebuke in fear. Those immune to fear and or illusion are not effected. Those weakest to the effects of fear rebuke in horror, while those who are less cowardly are compelled to flee. Creatures effected by dread aspect have true vision - ignoring illusions and allows for black and white vision in absolute darkness. Creatures will hear voices telling them to do things in the proximity of the dread aspect and weaker minds are compelled to obey these voices - or even obey the commands of the dread aspect him or herself.
  
  Festering Insanity : This curse drives a victim to endless levels of increasing insanity. It starts with voices that slowly increase in tempo and volume as well as authority. Eventually this insanity leads to sadism or masochism - potentially both - as well as a lack of understanding for what reality is, leading to dire mistakes.
  
  Black Magic
  
  Black magic invokes ancient forces of darkness upon others - cursing and/or hexing them.
  
  Vomit of Abominations : A curse that causes the victim to vomit vermin endlessly. These creatures vary from rats, to salamanders, to slugs, and snakes. The curse is non-lethal to all except the most vulnerable, but does take a massive toll on ones endurance and prevents sleep.
  
  Curse of the Venerable : A curse that saps the life force from a creature, causing them to rapidly age. This curse is non-lethal, but the side effects can put the target in a lethal situation - brittle bones, weakness, and vulnerability to disease can all kill. The effects last for about one week, the middle of which the target of the curse is the most elderly as the spell takes time to ramp up to their maximum age. After that they slowly shed their extra age and return (by the end of the week) back to their original age.
  
  Curse of Thorns : This curse causes all pain dealt - both physical and mental - to be reflected onto the cursed. Emotional trauma is multiplied several times and physical damage is replicated onto the cursed's body.
  
  Swarm of Vile Insects : This large curse summons a massive horde of biting insects. These insects sting and bite those they come in contact with infecting them with a disease that causes rashes and profuse sweating. This curse is focused on a location, object, or person of which the swarm is attracted two and swirls around attacking anyone within range.
  
  Hex : A hex is a brief surge of bad luck which can cause a seemingly random thing to backfire and destroy ones plans. These hexes give surges of negative luck resulting in mishaps. Smaller hexes can be cast at short distances, causing tiny events, but larger hexes are touch based and can actually be lethal - as well as dangerous as they can cause multiple people (including the caster) to be caught in the bad luck.

  • Minor hexes causes a small mishap to befall someone, trip and fall, belt snaps and pants fall down, cord snaps on a bow or crossbow, et cetera.
  • Major hexes cause severe mishaps, such as a chandelier falling on someone, falling upon ones own sword, sink holes forming, et cetera.

  
  Charms
  
  Charms are a variety of minor effects and spells that alter perceptions. Charms are often placed upon items and affect those in possession of that item.
  
  Insight Charm : Insight charms allow vision of what others are going through. A vision based insight charm may allow one to see the hallucinations of a sick person or hear the voices in a deranged persons head.
  
  Glamour Charm : A glamour charm will affect the physical appearance of a creature. This is always purely cosmetic, but can change shape and color. This is always an illusion, though the effect can be permanent if allowed. Less complicated glamour chamrms can sneak by illusion resistance - though disguises or more complicated charms will not.
  
  Emotion Charm : Emotion charms cause strong emotions in those charmed. These emotions can be directed or undirected depending on the complexity of the spell involved.
  
  Memory Charm : A charm to imprint or erase memories in the mind of another.
  
  Sensory Charm : This charm can alter ones senses - allowing changes to how one perceives reality through touch, taste, smell, sound, sight.
  
  Possession and Summoning
  
  Possessions are a type of magic that imbue the spirit of an otherworldly creature into another living entity or object. Possessions effects vary greatly on the entity summoned and the vessel it is placed within. Ayrik is capable of possessing others, items, and even himself with eldritch, abyssal, or infernal beings.
  
  Summons act very much in the same way, but require circles to bring the creature itself into this world as well as anchor them to the plane. Creatures summoned this way do not last long in the world - even shorter if they manage to escape their barriers, but potentially more powerful creatures last much longer.
  
  Exorcism : Exorcism is simply removing unwanted spirits from a vessel - whether living or inanimate.
  
  Binding Magic
  
  Binding magic is used to restrict or loosen restrictions concerning the presence of otherworldly creatures - outsiders such a celestials, abyssals, infernals, and even some eldritch beings. This can include trapping them, banishing them from the plane, presenting binding rules to their presence, or releasing sealed power.
  
  Spirit Communication
  
  This form of magic simply allows him to view and communicate with spirits. These may be the ghosts of the dead, aspects of various types, hidden gods, or natural elements who hide in the world.
  
  Magic Understanding
  
  With a massive understanding of various languages and magical practices he is capable of reading and casting many forms of dark, ancient, or strange magics.

• Weapons/Tools/Armor

  Prime Weapons

  • Spectre: This longsword is a masterwork blade of steel, it's blade magically imbued to meld in with the darkness so that the sword is nearly invisible in low-light. It has a thin blade and is well balanced designed for lightning fast techniques rather than brute force, though it still maintains enough weight to properly defend directly against lighter or less ferocious attacks.
  • Banshee: This boomerang is made from ironwood and is bound in dark magic making it capable of withstanding dark magic as well as channeling it. This allows spells to be transferred through it - such as spells that are normally touch based. The boomerangs enchantments also allow it to recall to him upon command for a small magical fee.
    

  Armor

  • Bracers : Leather bracers with riveted, overlapping plates of iron protecting the forearms.
  • Gloves : Fingerless cloth gloves. Leather protects portions with a wedge shaped iron plate over the backs of the fists, protruding slightly over the knuckles.
