• There are also seven "Divine-Spells", Spells that are even rarer than Ultra-Rare and are used only by the most powerful wizards:
  Victorianar (ensures a 100% success in a battle).
  Ølrunar (protective Spell against being bewitched by means of magic or any other method). It comes in two forms; Naudiz (protection against technology) and Ilaukaz (protection against magic).
  Biargrunar (Spells used to create and to facilitate childbirth. Also referred to as Lifebringers).
  Rimrunar (Spell for the protection against any physical force, natural or supernatural).
  Ilimrunar (healing Spells that heal any form of sickness or injury).
  Malrunar (Spell to improve one's rhetorical ability at manipulation, allowing you to control as many people as you like with only your words).
  Hrugrunar (Spell to improve one's wit and to add a 100% rate of luck in anything you do).

Divine-Spells can only be used once, and require a sacrifice of blood.
To counteract a Divine-Spell, one must use a Curse-Charm. Curse-Charms can be used with or combined with other Spells, can only be used once and require a blood-sacrifice. Curse-Charms come in nine types:
Banding (an ability that has two parts. First, a defending wizard determines how combat damage is dealt by an opposing force if at least one of the Spells blocking the opposing wizard is Ultra-Rare; normally the controller of the Spell dealing the damage determines this. Second, an attacking wizard may summon "Bands" of creatures with Banding, though one non-Banding creature (such as a Satanimal or Undead) can be included in a Band. If one creature in the Band becomes blocked by a Spell, the whole Band becomes blocked as well, whether or not the defender could block other creatures in the Band. This can allow many small creatures to "gang up" on a single bigger creature that would survive blocking any one of these smaller creatures. In other words, this Spell is better with summoning groups of creatures; strength in numbers.
Bury (a Spell used for a two-part effect: destroying a permanent Spell, and preventing that permanent Spell from regenerating. When using Bury, one can either use a Destroy (annihilating Spell) or Sacrifice (bring Spells to your own use)
Intimidate/Fear (this Spell had an ability that had existed long before it was given a keyword; Spells infused with Fear can't be blocked except by other Curse-Charms and by Artifacts.
Landhome (a Spell infused with Landhome may only attack a wizard who is controlling a land of a specified land-type, and must be sacrificed if its controller does not control at least one land of that same type. (E.g. this can be used to form earthquakes, but only if the Spell-user knows how to stop earthquakes).
Landwalk (a Spell infused with this ability cannot be blocked as long as the defending wizard controls at least one land with the required land type (e.g. a wizard on a fiery landscape cannot be blocked if the opponent has a fire-spell on the battlefield). This ability comes in multiple forms including Grovewalk (for forests, places with high concentrations of earth/solids), Swampwalk (for swamps/ places with gaseous substances), Hellwalk (for places with fire) and Plainswalk (places with water/ice/liquid).
Phasing (Spells with the status "phased-out" (can only be used once) are treated as though they do not exist except for Spells that specifically interact with phased-out Spells. In other words, this Curse-Charm could "phase" things out of existence for a brief period). Spells which have Phasing become "phased out", along with anything attached to the Phasing. Any Spells the wizard controls which were phased out become "phased in" and return to the battlefield at the same time. An object that phases out ceases to exist, while anything attached to it phases out and does not phase in on the object's controller's next Spell.
Protection (a Spell cast with Protection cannot be enchanted, equipped, blocked, or targeted by anything with that Spell, and all damage that would be dealt by a source of that Spell is prevented.
Hexproof/DEEBTT (standing for "Damage-Enchant-Equip-Block-Target-Trigger." Using a Spell with this means it cannot be blocked, cannot be equipped or enchanted, cannot be targeted by other Spells and cannot be dealt damage. It is considered the ultimate form of defense).
Shroud/Substance (this can represented in two related actions. A Spell or person suing Shroud cannot be the target of Spells or abilities (even his or her own).
Despite their power, one Curse-Charm can be repelled or neutralized with two Divine-Spells. If a Curse-Charm and a Divine-Spell are combined or used together in one move, a massive cataclysmic explosion spreading over 60 miles in radius will occur, flattening anything in its path.

Side/Secondary Effects

Side-effects include nausea and lethargy if Spells are used excessively.

Manifestation

Spells manifest as auras of red, pink, yellow, green, blue, orange or purple light. Auras can be seen by Beasts and Satanimals, and can be "heard" by Undead.

Discovery

Spells have been used since the time of the Overlords.

Material Components

Required materials are fire, water, wood, metal, sulfur, aluminum, a handful of earth, some stones, a few herbs (mostly foxglove, spinach and mint), the juice of Strangling-Vines and a Zapper.

Gestures & Ritual

To use a Spell, one must fill the Zapper with the necessary components (ingredients) required. Then one must hold the Zapper straight at your target with your left hand, make a Summoning-Gesture (extending the thumb and smallest finger while holding the three middle fingers curled, and gesturing in salutation while presenting the front or back of the hand; the hand is to be rotated back and forth) with the right hand and say the name of the specific Spells you seek to cast.

Effect Duration

12 hours

Effect Casting Time

30 seconds (normally)

Level

A person with a Magic Level of Flank Silver can cast a Spell.

Applied Restriction

Spells should not be cast near bodies of water, volcanic regions or places with metal or anywhere underneath the ground-level (either underground or underwater). This is to prevent a Spellwind (a phenomenon in which a gust of wind will create a miniature tornado, sucking up everything around it can trapping the spell-caster within).

Endurance crushes Might
Intelligence poisons Fitness

Luck decapitates Endurance
Luck consumes Agility
Intelligence disproves Luck
Endurance vaporizes Fitness
