Invocation Descriptions
Balanced Ground 9
Range Touch
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description This invocation allows the High Priest casting it to dedicate an area of ground to his Sphere. The area in question should be marked by a casting mat and ritual components covering an area no smaller than a 6 ft. diameter circle. The components in question should be checked with the player referee, at the start of the adventure, to ensure that they meet the minimum requirements for cosmic casting. Once set up this casting area cannot be disturbed by anyone other than the caster who can only remove it by releasing the invocation.
The Balanced area allows the High Priest to cast further cosmic invocations within it. This is the only way in which Cosmic invocations can be cast away from the Sect's ceremony areas situated outside of the Towers.
In order to cast a cosmic invocation the High Priest must first invoke within the Balanced area (requiring 5 minutes and their normal casting kit) followed by a 15 minute ritual dedicated to the cosmic invocation they are attempting to cast. No time reduction will be made on these castings as excellent casting kit and vocals are required for Cosmic Invocations.
Control Undead 9
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description This invocation allows the High Priest to store one rank 6 - 8 Control Undead invocation within their body for release upon the utterance of a specific trigger phrase (such as "Creature of Unlife you are mine to command") without the need for the usual ritual or being invoked.
The Control Undead 6 - 8 is cast as part of the ceremony required to cast the Control Undead 9. The High Priest will be out 15-17 power whilst the Control Undead 9 is in effect (9 for the Rank 9 and 6-8 for the stored Control Undead). Once the Rank 6 - 8 Control Undead is released all 15-17 power may be restored normally.
A character may only have a single Rank 9 Control Undead invocation in effect at a time.
Cure Wounds 9
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description This invocation allows the High Priest to store one rank 8 Cure Wounds invocation within their body for release upon the utterance of a specific trigger phrase (such as "Neutral Sphere I call thee, let your Power show!") without the need for the usual ritual or being invoked.
The Cure Wounds 8 is cast as part of the ceremony required to cast the Cure Wounds 9. The High Priest will be out 17 power whilst the Cure Wounds 9 is in effect (9 for the Cure Wounds 9 and 8 for the stored Cure Wounds 8). Once the Rank 8 Cure Wounds is released all 17 power may be restored normally.
A character may only have a single Rank 9 Cure Wounds invocation in effect at a time.
Enhanced Reflexes 9, 10
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description This invocation fills the caster with the power of the Neutral Sphere which fortifies any Enhanced Reflexes invocations cast by them.
At Rank 9 any Enhanced Reflexes invocation cast by the High Priest is increased in duration by a factor of four as if the invocation had been cast down a rank. For example an Enhanced Reflexes Rank 8 cast down to a 4 would last for 64 hours, rather than 16, if the caster had an Enhanced Reflexes 9 in effect.
At Rank 10 any Enhanced Reflexes invocation cast by the High Priest is increased in duration by a factor of four as if the invocation had been cast down a rank. This increase in duration stacks with that provided by a Enhanced Reflexes 9 if the High Priest has both in effect. For example a Enhanced Reflexes Rank 8 cast down to a 4 would last for 256 hours rather than 16 if the caster had both an Enhanced Reflexes 9 and 10 in effect.
Enhanced Reflexes 9 and 10 are effectively permanent and will only cease to be in effect if the caster releases the invocation or dies. The High Priest would be out 9 Power for a Rank 9 Enhanced Reflexes in effect or 19 if he had both the rank 9 and the rank 10 in effect.
Master of the Spheres 9, 10
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description The High Priest calls upon the Power of the Neutral Sphere to emulate invocations from the Good or Evil Spheres.
Master of the Spheres remains in effect (and the power out) until triggered through the use of a specific command phrase (such as "In Balance shall I prove Strength!") or until the caster is slain. It provides no benefit until triggered.
At Rank 9 once triggered the Master of the Spheres allows the High Priest to cast all of the Common Lay invocations of the Good or Evil Sphere (chosen at the time of triggering) as Neutral Sphere invocations. This effect lasts for 15 minutes at which point the Master of Spheres ceases to be in effect.
At Rank 10 once triggered the Master of the Spheres allows the High Priest to cast all of the common lay invocations of the Good or Evil Sphere (chosen at the time of triggering) as Neutral Sphere invocations. Furthermore if invoked in the Neutral Sphere the character may cast any one Ritual rank invocation from the Dark Path or White Path invocation lists as a Neutral Invocation. The casting of this Ritual invocation requires vocals as usual and uses up the Invoke Sphere. This effect lasts for 15 minutes at which point the Master of Spheres ceases to be in effect.
Power Hammer 9
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description The High Priest calls upon the Power of the Neutral Sphere to aid him in smiting his enemies.
Power Hammer 9 remains in effect (and the power out) until triggered through the use of a specific command phrase (such as "I call forth the Power of the Hammer!") or until the caster is slain. It provides no benefit until triggered.
At Rank 9 once triggered the Power Hammer allows the High Priest to cast rank 6 Power Hammer invocations at vocal length, without the need for an Invoke or the usual Ritual. This ability lasts for 15 Minutes at which point the Power Hammer 9 ceases to be in effect.
Power Meld 9
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description Whilst this invocation is in effect the High Priest may meld Power (as per the Power Meld 1 - 8 invocation) instantly from any willing being. He need only touch his target with both hands and the desired amount of power is transferred.
Power Meld 9 remains in effect until released or the caster is slain.
Spiritual Balance 9
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description The High Priest becomes one with the Balance of the Neutral Sphere isolating them from the Good and Evil Spheres.
Once per day whilst the Spiritual Balance 9 is in effect a rank 7 Spiritual Balance cast by the High Priest will be effective against all Good and Evil Sphere invocations up to Rank 8, rather than 5 as would usually be the case.
Spiritual Balance 9 remains in effect until released or the caster is slain.
Voice of Command 9
Range Self Only
Duration Special
Extendable? N/A
Description The High Priest speaks with such authority that he cause almost anyone to stop in their tracks.
Voice of Command remains in effect (and the power out) until triggered through the use of a specific command phrase (such as "Hear my words and know the power of the Balance!") or until the caster is slain. It provides no benefit until triggered.
At Rank 9 once triggered the Voice of Command allows the High Priest to cast rank 6 Halt invocations at vocal length, without the need for an Invoke or the usual Ritual. This ability lasts for 15 Minutes at which point the Voice of Command 9 ceases to be in effect.
