| Area of Effect: | 1 missile/level |
|
| Explanation/Description: Explanation/Description: Using this spell, the wu jen can temporarily enchant missiles, both normal and magical, to improve the chance of hitting distant targets. Missiles that can be so enchanted include all items that can be discharged or thrown by a normal man-sized creature. A bundle of arrows could be so enchanted, but the bolt fired by a ballista could not. Likewise, a Stone thrown by a giant is not affected by this spell nor could the boulder thrown by a character wearing a girdle of giant strength be affected. Upon casting the spell, the missile is enchanted and glows faintly, making it easy to distinguish from normal missiles. For the duration of the spell, all range categories for the missile are double their normal range. Thus, an arrow fired from a daikyu (great bow) would have ranges of 14 " (short), 29 " (medium), and 42, (long) instead of the normal 7 |

Animate Wood | | (Alteration) | | Oriental Adventures - Page:74 | |

| Area of Effect: | Special |
|
| Explanation/Description: Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the wu jen is able to cause wooden items to move and bend. lt has its greatest effect when cast upon living plants, although it can be used on all types of wooden items. When cast, the spell gives the wood suppleness and motion, possibly allowing the item to move, grasp, entangle, etc. However, this movement is slow and somewhat stiff and thus animated objects always strike last in combat situations. The spell does not change the form of the item. An arrow is still single shaft, although it can wriggle and move like a snake. Likewise, it does not give fixed items the ability to move about. Thus, a tree cannot be animated to walk since it is rooted in one spot. However, animated items can be ordered to attack as a 0 level human and causing damage comparable to a weapon of the same size and type. An arrow could strike like a snake causing damage as an arrow, while a tree branch can club and thrash, causing damage as a club. The DM must determine the exact range of damage possible for the animated item. Also, the item has an armor class from 10 to 5, based on the size, solidity, and maneuverability of the object. An animated stand of bamboo would have an armor class of 10 because it does not move and is easily cut. A cypress tree could easily have an armor class of 5 because it is quite large and difficult to damage. Furthermore, the item possesses hit points (0 hit points indicates the item has been chopped into pieces). As a guideline, each object possesses 1d10 hit points for every 10 feet of height or square yard of area. A spear shaft has 1d10 points while anarrow has 1 or 2 at most. A tall tree has 100 to 200 hit points if it is quite massive. The amount of material that can be animated depends on if it is living or not. A single plant of living wood (five feet tall or less) can be animated for every level of the caster. For non-living wood, a piece roughly the size of two arrows can be animated for every level of the caster. lf the material is magical (an arrow +1), a saving throw vs. spell is allowed. lf successful the animation attempt has been resisted. The material component for this spell is a mixture of powdered cinnabar and ground Peach Pit. |

The coloration allows the character to blend in with his surroundings, making him difficult to spot and attack. At ranges greater than 10 |

Elemental Burst | | (Conjuration) | | Oriental Adventures - Page:75 | |

| Range: | 6" |
| Casting Time: | 3 segments |
| Duration: | Instantaneous |
| Saving Throw: | ½ |
| Area of Effect: | 1" diameter |
|
| Explanation/Description: Explanation/Description: Upon uttering a twisted phrase of great potency, the wu jen indicates the target point within the range of the spell. The target point must be an item composed of one of the five elements-wood, fire, water, stone, or air. The element then releases the magical energy within it in a sudden burst. Wood and stone items throw off sharp slivers in all directions out to the radius of the spell. All within the area of effect must make a successful saving throw vs. spell or suffer 1d8 points of damage. The damage is halved if the saving throw is made. Fire shoots off glowing sparks, causing 1d4 points of damage and a successful saving throw vs. spell results in no damage. The sparks have a 5% chance of igniting flammable objects in the area of effect. Water pushes out in a string wave, knocking down all who fail to make a saving throw vs. spell. Boats and vessels are unaffected by this wave. An air burst creates a concussive wave, stunning all in the area of effect for 1-2 rounds unless a successful saving throw vs. spell is made. ln no case does the spell noticeably affect the structure of the target item. |

| Range: | 0 |
| Casting Time: | 5 segments |
| Duration: | 3 rounds/level |
| Saving Throw: | None |
| Area of Effect: | Caster only |
|
| Explanation/Description: Explanation/Description: This spell causes the wu jen's eyes to glow with an unnatural fire. So lit, they project beams of bright light to a range of 3 feet, clearly illuminating the area as if lit by a lantern. By fixing his sight on one spot for 3 rounds, the wu jen can cause combustible materials to burst into small, flickering flames if desired. In addition, any creature looking at the wu jen must make a saving throw vs. spell. If the saving throw is failed, the creature hesitates for an instant, fascinated by the unearthly light. Creatures so affected automatically lose the initiative on the next combat round. Finally, if cast in conjunction with a hypnosis, hypnotic pattern, or mass suggestion spell, the victims suffer a -1 penalty to their saving throws if they are looking at the spellcaster. The wu jen can control the color of the light emitted from his eyes, ranging from a reddish glow to brilliant yellow. |

|
| Explanation/Description: Explanation/Description: With this spell, the wu jen summons a ghostly green radiance anywhere within the range of the spell. The light can be used to illuminate some object or can be shaped in any form within the limits of the area of effect. Furthermore, the caster can control the movement of the light. The ghost light could be formed in the shape of a man and then commanded to walk or fly, for example. The spell lasts as long as the caster continues to concentrate on it. Common superstition holds that various evil spirits radiate a light similar to that produced by ghost light. Intelligent creatures with low rating or less than 1 Hit Die must make a saving throw vs. spell upon seeing the ghost light. lf the saving throw is successful, the creature stands his ground, albeit nervously. Those who fail their saving throw panic, running their full movement rate away from the light for 1 round. lf they are unable to flee, they cower and attempt to hide. lf forced to fight under these conditions, they suffer a penalty of -2 on all attempts to hit. The material component for this spell is a piece of phosphorus. |

Prestidigitation | | (Conjuration) REVERSIBLE | | Oriental Adventures - Page:76 | |
| Level: | 1 |

| Range: | 0 |
| Casting Time: | 3 segments |
| Duration: | 1 round/level |
| Saving Throw: | Special |
| Area of Effect: | Caster only |
|
| Explanation/Description: Explanation/Description: This spell heightens the manual dexterity of the wu jen and allows him to teleport small objects to different points on his body. The wu jen can pick pockets, cause small objects to disappear from his hand, and cause objects on his person to suddenly appear in his hand. When the wu jen attempts to pick pockets, the victim is allowed a saving throw vs. spell. If the save is successful, the attempt is discovered and whatever relevant consequences apply. lf the victim fails the save, the wu jen successfully filches the item. Furthermore, with a quick pass of his hand, the wu jen can cause items small enough to fit in the palm of his hand to disappear and reappear elsewhere on his person (in a pocket, boot, other hand). This feat can also be used to bring items from elsewhere on his personinto his hand. Again, the object must be small enough to easily fit in the palm of the hand. However, onlookers are allowed a saving throw vs. spell to notice the prestidigitation. All of these tricks take just seconds to perform and several can be done in the same round. Thus, the wu jen could pick up a rare gem, secretly transport the item to his hat, and replace it with a cheap substitute hidden in his pocket in a few seconds. The material component for this spell is a small drop of oil rubbed on the tips of the fingers. The reverse of this spell, fumble-fingers, is cast upon a victim within 3”. Thereafter, for the duration of the spell, the victim must make a successful saving throw vs. spell to successfully perform any action requiring manualdexterity. The spell does not affect large actions, such as melee combat, but can cause an archer to fumble his arrow, a ninja to drop his thieves' tools, or a spellcaster to confuse his gestures in spell casting. The material component is a small amount of oil sprinkled at the victim. |

|
| Explanation/Description: Explanation/Description: By use of this spell the wu jen is able to read magical inscriptions and writing.

The spell's reverse, unreadable magic, makes magical writing unreadable, even by magical means, until the spell wears off or is dispelled. The material components of the reverse are a pinch of dirt and a drop of water. |

|
| Explanation/Description: Explanation/Description: This spell creates a secret method of communication between the wu jen and one other intelligent creature. The creature to be communicated with is named when the spell is cast and must be within hearing and visual distance of the caster. By means of secret signs, the caster can communicate a complete thought of 25 words or less through a single gesture, utterance, or even the placement of an object. The message is understood by the creature regardless of language, although the interpretation of the message is another matter. The wu jen could, for example, wave his hand in the air transmitting the message, "Come see me when all are asleep," or place a scroll on the table in such a way to say, "Leave now and wait for me to contact you." Obviously, the recipient of the message must be able to see and hear the wu jen clearly for the spell to work. There is no specific component for this spell since the component is whatever method is used to send the message. Thus, this spell can be used even when the wu jen is bound and gagged. The secret signs spell cannot be used to trigger or deliver other spells of any type. |

| Area of Effect: | 10" sq./level |
|
| Explanation/Description: Explanation/Description: This spell allows the wu jen to calm even the most turbulent waters except those of tsunami force, rendering them placid and still for the duration of the spell. Upon casting the spell, all water in the area of effect becomes calm and settled-stormy oceans become smooth, raging rapids subside, flood waters flow calmly. The spell changes the rate of flow of the water and the force with which it moves to a gentle flow. Thus, the whirlpools and turbulence of a rapids become a gentle stream easily negotiated. The spell does not alter the amount of water passing through the area, only the force it carries. If cast on a water elemental or other creature from the Elemental Plane of Water (or a creature of watery substance), the target is allowed a saving throw vs. spell. If the save is successful, the spell has no effect. If the saving throw is failed, the creature becomes incapable of directly hostile actions, although it can still cause harm indirectly. If such a becalmed creature is attacked, the spell effect is instantly negated. The material component for this spell is a tiny flask of whale oil. The reverse of this spell, turbulence, increases the choppiness of water. Still water becomes white capped and choppy, white capped waves become strong waves capable of capsizing canoes and small boats. Stormy ocean water becomes huge mounting waves capable of swamping small ships. If cast upon water elementals or similar creatures, it makes them hostile and belligerent. The material component required is a small ornamental fan. |
