Cosmic Guidance. Page 598
Charm
"max-width: 250px; max-height: 250px;">
For those who eschew divine intervention, avenues for otherworldly wisdom are sought through various means. Among these, Tasseomancy is commonly favored for its perceived reliability in divination. Conversely, a select few turn their gaze skyward, delving into the realm of astromancy. While many astromancers wield celestial power as a devastating force in battle, a rare few harness the stars to illuminate paths forward and amplify their own capabilities. Cosmic Guidance emerges from this specialized study, offering insights and enhancements gleaned from the boundless expanse of the cosmos.
Cosmic Encouragement

mud made from water and stardust worth 25g, which is consumed.

1 creature
Touch
You take a pinch of mud created from a combination of water and stardust in your fingers and use it to draw a rune on the forehead of a willing creature. After spending 1 minute tracing the rune in the astral mud, the rune begins to give off a very faint glow. The effects of the rune persist for 8 hours. A creature may only benefit from a single rune of Cosmic Encouragement at a time—if an additional rune of Cosmic Encouragement is given to the creature, the previous rune fades.
When you first create the rune, choose Skill Checks, Attack Rolls, or Resistance Checks. Checks the target of the spell makes of the chosen type are +1 Enhanced for the perpetuation of the spell.
1
You may trace the rune on one additional creature (spending an additional minute doing so) for another 5g of stardust. You may choose a different kind of check (from Skill Checks, Attack Rolls, or Resistance Checks) than you chose for any other creature affected by this.

Integrants:

a creature
Touch
You touch a creature and impart it with the favor of the heavens. This effect lasts for one hour or until the favored creature dismisses it. Any time the creature rolls a d20 while it has this favor, it can choose to dismiss the favor to turn the number on the d20 into a 20. It may choose to do this after seeing the number on the die, but not before knowing the result of the roll. Doing this can cause effects that otherwise result from natural 20s, like Critical Hits and automatic Resistance success.
A creature may be under the effect of no more than one Cosmic Favor at a time. Adding a second Cosmic Favor to a creature dismisses the first one.

Increase the Perpetuation of the Cosmic Favor by 1 Hour.

Fast Talk. Page 610
Charm
"max-width: 250px; max-height: 250px;">
Have you ever spoken impulsively, instantly regretting your words and yearning to retract them? Ever longed for the ability to effortlessly talk your way out of any situation, regardless of your natural charm? Do you wish your speeches elicited more than just tepid applause? If so, then Fast Talk is the enchantment for you! Crafted by spellcasters more accustomed to perusing tomes than charming their peers, Fast Talk magically transforms you into a captivating and suave conversationalist. Legend has it that Kaegn, taking pity on the social outcasts, lent a helping hand in the creation of this spell, granting them the means to forge connections and win over hearts.
Censor

No Focus
Integrants:
None
1 creature
Distance 1
Choose a creature you are speaking to within 1 Pace of you. With a small motion of your hands, you use a Reactive Action at the cost of 1 SP to cause that creature to forget something you said to it in the last 10 seconds; the creature then believes itself to have heard you say something else (which is the Voice integrate of this spell), and forgets any response that it gave to the original words you spoke to it. Other creatures around you recall both things that you said, as well as any response the creature gave to your initial words.
For example, you might ask a creature if they know a criminal, get their reaction, then use this spell to cause them to forget both your question and their response. As part of the casting,m you remark on the current weather, and to the creature's perception, that's all you said.
After you have successfully cast this spell on a creature, any subsequent casts of Censor on that creature from you have a 50% chance to fail for the next 24 hours (roll 1d100, and the spell fails on a 50 or lower). This fail percentage increases by 10% with each additional successful casting of the spell on the creature, until it reaches 100%. Recasting the spell resets the 24-hour timer.
1
You may affect one additional creature within range with a single casting of Censor. All affected creatures have the same warped perception of reality resulting from the spell.
1
Increase the length of the conversation you can unwrite by 10 seconds, to a maximum of 1 Minute.
1
Increase the range of the spell by 2.
5
You force the affected creature(s) to make an Acuity Resistance check. On a failure, all affected creatures completely forget everything you have said and that they have said to you within the last hour, instead believing that the conversation has taken whatever form you will it to be, which you describe as the Voice integrant for this spell.

Touch
You place a silver coin on the tongue of a creature. The coin immediately melts, coating the tongue and dying it silver. For as long as the spell persists, the creature is considered a Master of the Speech skill. Additionally, any Speech skill checks the creature makes are +1 Enhanced, and any Resistance checks against spells the creature casts with a Voice integrant are +1 Flawed.
3
Speech skill checks the affected creature makes receive an additional +1 Enhnacement, and flaws on Resistance Checks against spells cast by the affected creature using a Voice Integrant receive an additional +1 Flaw.

While a creature has Excess Hit Points granted by this spell, its Acuity and Wile Resistance checks are +1 Enhanced, and its first attack roll each turn is +1 Enhanced.

Increase the casting time by 1 Round. Creatures gain a number of Excess HP from this spell equal to your Experience Bonus multiplied by the number of rounds you spent casting this spell.

None
x 5-Pace Sphere
Touch
You create a sphere that guards against lies and deceit, centered on a point you touch. The jasper used for the spell's casting turns to dust, which floats around the rim of the sphere for as long as it persists. Creatures within the sphere are unable to knowingly tell lies, but they are not compelled to speak or answer questions by this spell.
All creatures in the sphere know they are being compelled to tell the truth and can see the jasper dust that creates the sphere. Creatures may answer cryptically or evasively in light of their knowledge of the compulsion, so long as nothing they say is something they hold to be false.
1
Increase the maximum perpetuation of the rite by 1 Hour.
2
Increase the radius of the sphere by 5 Paces.
30
You may change the casting time of the rite to 24 Hours. Doing this increases the cost of the jasper for creating the sphere to 10,000g. After the rite has been cast in this way, the sphere created becomes Permanent.
Shooting Stars. Page 544. Only with Star Chart
Arcane
"max-width: 250px; max-height: 250px;">
Shooting Stars stands as a formidable astromancy spell, wielding devastating power as it summons precise celestial bodies to obliterate targets. These homing stars are radiant missiles of lethal energy, honing in on their marks with deadly accuracy. The conjuration of such astral might offers versatility in its application, manifesting in diverse forms to suit the caster's needs.

1d12 Holy
You throw a pinch of stardust into the air above your head and recite the spell's incantation, turning the stardust into a multitude of star-shaped balls of light. Each star gives off 5 Paces of bright light and 10 Paces of dim light beyond that.
After casting the spell, you have 4 of these stars. As a Secondary Action, you may point at a creature you can see within 10 Paces of you. This sends one of the stars after the creature. It hits automatically, dealing 1d12 Holy Damage.
The spell persists for 1 Hour, until you have used every star, until you cast this spell again, or until you fall Unconscious. If you are rendered Unconscious while you still have stars, every remaining star immediately fires toward the nearest enemy in range and deals its damage to it. If there are no enemies in range, the stars instead shoot toward the heavens and harmlessly disappear.

Increase the number of stars conjured by 2, to a maximum of 10. This requires an additional 5g of stardust.

You must be in the open air, with nothing above you but the heavens, to cast this spell. You place a chunk of valuable meteorite against your forehead and recite the spell's incantation. For the duration of the spell's casting, the meteorite ascends to the sky above, vanishing from your view and the atmosphere. When the casting time ends, a shower of stars assaults a 10-Pace radius circle in a space you can see within 50 Paces of you.
All creatures in the circle must succeed on a Dexterity Resistance check. On a failure, a creature suffers xd12 Holy Damage (where x is your Spellcasting Stat Quotient). On a successful check, a creature takes half damage.
The power of the falling star leaves craters in the earth. The entire affected area becomes Rugged Terrain. Additionally, for the next hour after the casting, the space radiates astral energy. The area gives off 1 Pace of Dim Light during this time. Any creature that moves through the area while it is radiating in this way takes 1 Point of Holy Damage for each Pace moved. Additionally, a creature takes 1d12 Holy Damage when it starts its turn in the affected area.

Holy
"max-width: 250px; max-height: 250px;">
Solarity stands as a vital spell for divine casters, manifesting as a radiant beam of holy energy that seeks out a single adversary, engulfing it in a luminous glow of divine power. Drawing upon the celestial realms, this spell, when wielded by a potent caster, not only inflicts searing damage upon the target but also illuminates a path for allies to vanquish the foe should it endure the initial onslaught of holy energy.

5d10 Fire
5d10 Holy
By placing a pearl on the ground and kneeling before it to utter an incantation for one hour, you slowly begin to transform the pearl into a minor sun. Over the course of the hour-long ritual, the pearl gradually begins to float into the air until it is hovering 15 Paces above the ground. At the end of the ritual, the pearl transforms into a spall sun, occupying a 5-Pace sphere that is 10 Paces above the ground. The sun provides Bright Light for 100 Paces and Dim Light for a further 200 Paces. The light cannot pass through solid objects and can wrap around corners. The light is considered sunlight.
Once on each of your turns while you are within the Bright Light of the minor sun, you can cause the sun to flare as a Primary Action by expending 1 MP. When the sun flares, all creatures within the Bright Light except for you must succeed on a Vigor Resistance check, taking 5d10 Fire Damage and 5d10 Holy Damage on a failure, or only taking the Fire Damage on a success. Any Assembly-type creature caught in the flare who fails the Resistance check is Shocked until the end of their next turn.
The sun remains for up to 24 Hours or until you lose Focus on it. When the spell ends, the sun releases one last flare and vanishes, leaving nothing behind.

Eloquent Voice (Beginner). After casting a spell with a Voice integrant, I may force a creature within 5 Pces who can hear me to make a Wile Resistance check or be Charmed by me until the end of its next turn. A creature Charmed in this cannot make attacks against me and has +1 Flaw to all attack rolls against my allies. The state ends early if it takes damage.
Astrologer (Beginner). Can create star chart over 5 days. It is used to track the stars, channel spells, and determine the exact date and time.
