Explanation/Description: This spell allows the wu jen to read the aura of an area, determining the basic alignment and magical tendencies of most of the inhabitants and items in the area. When cast, an aura appears over every dwelling or structure within the area of effect indicating whether most or the principal occupant is good, evil, lawful, neutral, or chaotic. In addition, areas with a high concentration of magic are also revealed. Standing on a hill overlooking a village, the wu jen casts this spell. Each of the houses in the village begins to glow, indicating the primary nature of the inhabitants. Thus, the wu jen is able to note the homes of good people, evildoers, and lawful types. Temples and shrines have a magical glow because they are more predisposed to magic than other areas. Likewise, haunted and cursed areas have an appropriate aura. The aura even appears over dwellings the caster cannot directly see-a faint glow over the treetops might indicate a hut or cave deep in the woods. The reverse of this spell, mask, hides the aura of any one dwelling from detection by the aura spell.

Explanation/Description: This spell is used by the wu jen to prepare an item for enchantment and to effect that enchantment. An item that is to be made magical must be sound and undamaged, and must be of the highest quality materials, costing not less than 20 ch'ien. The enchanting wu jen must work on this item alone tor 2 + 1d8 days, working eight hour days, to become familiar with the object. No other spell casting may be done during this period, and the item may not be more than one foot from the wu jen during the period. At the end of this time, a saving throw is made for the wu jen, with success indicating that the item is ready to receive the magics cast upon it, which must be cast within the next 24 hours. The subsequent spells require 4-8 hours per spell level, and each additional enchantment must follow within 24 hours of the last. These additional magics are not permanent unless a permanency spell is also cast, though items with charges may never be made permanent. The material component varies according to the item being affected.

Saving Throw: None
Explanation/Description: When cast, the wu jen has no control over what form this spell takes. He must abide by the winds of fate. There is a 60% chance the outcome is good and a 40% chance the outcome is bad. A good outcome improves all die rolls made for the character by 1 (or 10% for percentile rolls) for the duration of the spell. A bad outcome does not affect the die rolls of the character, but inflicts him with a gambling mania for the duration of the spell. The character automatically accepts any game of chance or wager offered him. The game or wager must include some element of chance, thus, dares are not considered to fall in this category. Likewise, the spell does not force the character to accept suicidal wagers (the character does not agree to kill himself or let another kill him) on the basis of a coin toss He would, however accept a bet which offered freedom or surrender or the basis of a roll of the die. The character continues to play at any game until he is unable to pay, although he attempts to borrow from others to remain in a game. The material component for this spell is a small statuette of the god of luck.

Explanation/Description: This spell allows the wu jen to reduce ferrous metal to a crumbled pile of rust with a single touch. Upon casting the spell, the wu jen touches the item (rolling a hit if necessary), causing it to fall away in large flakes of rust. Normal metallic items do not receive a saving throw-the effect is automatic. Magical metals make a saving throw vs. disintegration (17 for hard metal, 19 for soft metal and jewelry), receiving the appropriate bonus to the saving throw for the strength of the magic. Magical items of ferrous content which do not have a specific plus value (an iron amulet of ESP for example) must be assigned a bonus to the saving throw by the DM. The reverse of this spell, rust to metal, restores a rusted item to its original condition if at least 90% of the original material is present. The material component for this spell is a flask of seawater.

Explanation/Description: When cast, the wu jen targets this spell at a single creature or creatures. lf multiple creatures are affected, all must be within 20 feet of each other. All affected are struck by pains and agony. These pains pass in an instant. Once past, however, the creatures find their muscles contorted and their strength reduced. Both Dexterity and Strength are reduced to 3 tor 2d4 rounds after the spell is cast. This causes the creature to be -3 on hit rolls, -1 on damage, -3 on reaction attacking adjustment, and + 4 on defensive adjustment. At the end of 2d4 rounds, the Strength and Dexterity of the creature return to normal. A strength or prestidigitation spell cancels the effects of pain, providing the needed vitality to restore Strength and Dexterity to normal ranges.

Explanation/Description: The spiritwrack is a powerful spell used against a creature of the lower planes whose name is known. The material component of the spell is a vellum sheet upon which the incantation and the creatures name is inscribed in ink made of demon ichor and powdered rubies (1,000 gp for the vellum, 5,000 for the rubies for each document). Only one such document may exist for any creature at one time, and a wu jen may only possess one document at a time. If the creature is present, it is rooted to the spot unless it makes its magic resistance roll (if any). If it makes the roll the reading makes it so uncomfortable that it flees to its home plane unless held by magic. In the second round the pain increases, and the creature loses 1 hit point for every hit die possessed. In the third round of reading, the creature loses 50% of its existing hit points, and is banished to its home plane for a number of years equal to the level of the wu jen casting the spell. Most creatures of the lower planes are loathe to be subject to this spell, so there is a 25% cumulative chance per round that the creature submits to other demands to prevent the spell from being finished. In any event, the being is the sworn foe of the wu jen thereafter.

Explanation/Description: This spell creates a jet black sword that radiates a palpable aura of evil. The sword can appear anywhere within the range of the spell. When cast, the wu jen targets the spell on one creature. Thereafter the sword can only attack that creature. The wu jen must concentrate on the actions of the sword, causing it to strike as if he held it in his own hand (non-proficiency penalties do not apply). On a successful hit, the sword temporarily drains the creature hit of 1-3 levels or hit dice. Appropriate hit points, fighting ability, spell levels, and level powers are lost. The sword itself causes no physical damage. If the victim is reduced below 0 level, he is slain. In 1-3 days, his spirit returns as a kuei (see Monster section). Lost levels are regained 1-3 turns after the sword of darkness disappears, provided the character has not died. However, spells lost are not regained, since they were wiped clean from the character's mind. These spells must be memorized again before they can be cast. The material component for this spell is a katana or long sword worth at least 20 ch'ien which is shattered against a stone.
