Spell School Spell Level Spell Name TN to Cast Spell Description
Channeling 1 Invoke Entity Varies Cast to request contact with your patron entity, or another godlike arcane entity that you are aware of. Cast as a main action or as a ritual with a length of your choice. The effects vary wildly depending on the relationship, the casting method, the casting roll, sacrifices or embellishments, ritual time, spell points spent, the entity and the entity's attitude. You can make a specific request, such as "please smite my enemies" or "please grant us sanctuary". This spell can be cast with your choice of skill level/TN, and the entity's reaction will vary.
Teleportation 1 Core-1: Personal 10m 8 Teleport yourself and worn/carried objects. Cannot TP into a place you can't personally see, haven't been in the past, can't fit, that would cause instant death/injury, or a moving vehicle.
Teleportation 2 Core-2: Personal 100m 10 Range upgraded to 100m. Restrictions same.
Teleportation 2 UPGRADE: Blink Upgrades core power - same TN UPGRADE to core power. Core spell can now be a move action. No increase in cost or TN, but if you teleport multiple times per round, only roll once but still pay the cost multiple times.
Teleportation 3 Core-3: Personal 1km 12 Range upgraded to 1km, same restrictions.
Teleportation 3 Cargo Jump +X DC, +X points You can add +X points and +X DC to take large items OR allies with you. GM determines the number based on amount of cargo. User must be touching the things/people to take. User must go with the items. Casting time is 1 minute.
Teleportation 3 Anchor Mark 12 While maintaining concentration, you can take 5 minutes to physically touch an ethereal mark on a person, place, or item within your maximum range. Then, without rolling again, you can TP right to it. This can bypass the core power's restrictions, but for this reason it is very dangerous.
Teleportation 4 Core-4: Personal 10km 14 Range upgraded to 10km, same restrictions.
Teleportation 4 Rapid Jump UPGRADE to core power You can now use the core power as a bonus action in combat. If you teleport multiple times per round, only roll once, but pay the cost multiple times.
Teleportation 4 Unlimited Apportation UPGRADE to core power For core personal TP without upgrades, no spell point cost. Still has roll risk and arrival risk.
Teleportation 4 Flicker 14 Cast as a main action and concentrate. For up to 1 hour, your presence flickers in a blur. Enemies have disadvantage to hit you and it is difficult for living things to identify you. If an attack would still hit you, you can use your reaction to teleport away using the core power rules, negating that hit.
Teleportation 4 Scatter 14 Cast as main action. Spreads up to 6 targets randomly to safe places within 50m radius. Difficult to control.
Teleportation 5 Core-5: Personal 100km 16 Range upgraded to 100km, same restrictions.
Teleportation 5 Offensive Intrusion 16 Use this spell to TP yourself and worn/carried items into a moving vehicle or place you can't see or haven't been, within your core range, with safest possible placement, though you do not control exact placement or receive spatial information.
Teleportation 5 Banishment 16 By touching a person, you can teleport them to a core-valid target location without needing their consent, and while keeping yourself stationary. Use same roll as normal. You cannot put them into guaranteed harm.
Teleportation 5 Send Item 16 You attempt to teleport an item, such as a bomb, to a core-valid location, without your accompaniment.
Teleportation 5 Rift 16 You attempt to open a new rift into another dimension (i.e. hyperspace, plane of shadow, etc) where there is none. Even on a perfect success, this is not guaranteed to be safe. This can be used to find new hyperlanes. Lower difficulty if there's a thin barrier in spacetime.
Teleportation 5 Recall 16 You attempt to bring allied and consenting people, vehicles and equipment within your max range, to your location, safely. The area of effect is a 50m radius circle. Cannot teleport buildings. The allies must prepare with proper arcane markings which takes about an hour to do for 100 people, but casting the spell is a main action.
Teleportation 5 Summon 16 You attempt to teleport a single person or entity within your core range, into your presence without their consent. You must know them and their location in detail. The entity is not guaranteed to be pleased, but will be safe on a success (assuming the destination is a safe environment for them). If the entity is a magic user, they may increase the difficulty, use counterspell, or other methods of resistance.
Teleportation 6 Core-6: Personal 1000km (Orbital Jump) 18 Range upgraded to 1000km (orbital). Same restrictions. Can be used to jump from/to allied ships in orbit & orbital stations.
Teleportation 6 Mass Teleport 18 You attempt to teleport a massive chunk of earth, buildings, people, vehicles, etc. up to 1 mile radius, up to 6 light years away. Requires a 48-hour ritual, half of which is at origin, and half of which is at destination. Includes you (you teleport at 24:00:01), and drains all spell points, causes exhaustion. You can do nothing else, not even eat or sleep, during the 48 hours. The subjects will be partially phased in a hyper-compressed-dimension until the ritual is entirely complete. Distraction or disruption causes total loss.
Teleportation 6 Activate Stargate 18 With a 6-hour ritual, you transform a metal-hyperion-alloy portal frame into a an active stargate. This is an permanent-until-dispelled, noisy, brightly glowing portal that can transport terrestrial beings and vehicles up to 50 light years away or to other dimensions, near-instantly, making use of a hyper-compressed liminal dimension. A good engineer friend is important here for good results. The portal will remain active until dispelled. Maximum portal radius is 15m, enough for elephants and/or battlemechs to pass through. This is a legendary spell that enables the rapid spread of powerful empires.
Metaphysics 1 Core-1: Sense Arcane 8 Cast and concentrate. While this is running, you can roll your Metaphysics skill like a Notice check to sense any active spells, magical influence, or arcane anomalies nearby. Requires concentration. This can reveal magically invisible and illusionary things to you only. Helping allies target those things will cost your main action.
Metaphysics 2 Core-2: Sense Origins 8 This level also allows you to get a hint of who or what originated a certain detected arcane effect, and in what direction they may be found.
Metaphysics 2 Cloak Status 10 While you maintain concentration, you may mask your status as a user of magic, as well as any magic items you are wielding or carrying, and active spell effects. Upcast to protect against detection by more powerful enemies. Does not remove your personal sign of casting.
Metaphysics 2 Read Magic 10 This spell allows you to read magical scrolls, books, symbols, sigils, and runes of power, regardless of the civilization from which they came.
Metaphysics 3 Core-3: Sense Casters 12 This level allows you to sense nearby magic-using beings within 1km. It also lets you conduct a 30-minute ritual to detect if a target consenting person has the potential to be trained in magic.

Metaphysics 3 Counterspell/Dispel Varies This can be cast as a main action or reaction. As a main action, you attempt to end an ongoing spell effect. Cost and TN is based on target spell level. Alternatively, you can cast it as a reaction when you think someone else is casting something on you. Again, cost and TN varies. Range 10 meters. If an enemy counterspells your counterspell, the cost to continue the attempt will continuously increase.
Metaphysics 3 Thought Parasite 12 You can cast this spell as a reaction when you are targeted with any spell, even a simple detection spell. Willingly fail the save, and you send a psionic parasite into the opponent's mind. While active, you will know the other spells they cast, and some of their thoughts. once only as a free action, you can trigger the parasite to explode, stunning them for a round with 3 psychic damage and making them fail one save you choose.
Metaphysics 3 Suspended Spell 12 While you maintain concentration, you can prepare another spell to release as an instantaneous free action. Only roll once, using the higher cost and Dc.
Metaphysics 4 Core-4: Sense Spell Echoes 14 This level allows you to gain a vision of the history of magic power use on a particular object or place, along with the general timeframes of major events. Better rolls get more info.
Metaphysics 4 UPGRADE: Effortless Detection UPGRADE to core power This upgrade means that you cannot fail while using any level of your core Metamagic Senses. You must still pay the point cost, maintain concentration, and roll for more/less information.
Metaphysics 4 Synthetic Adaptation UPGRADE: +2 Cost & TN This upgrade means that your other spells, such as healing, illusion, and telepathic spells, will work on robots and electronic sensors. However, to do such things, you must pay an additional 2 points and the difficulty of the spell increases by 2. Repairing bots still requires spare parts. Computer skill may help when you use magic to tamper with A.I.
Metaphysics 4 Inscribe Scroll 14 Cast and spend 4 hours to write another spell into a scroll or electronic document. This inscription is infused with power and then can be read by another person, including non-casters, to produce the effect. When used, the inscription vanishes or deletes itself.
Metaphysics 4 Consecrate 4 With 3 days of rituals (breaks are allowed), you consecrate a certain room for arcane purposes, in accordance with your casting style. Spells cast in here by you and your allies have one additional advantage die, and enemies casting spells here are disadvantaged. Note that this spell does not protect form hostile spells cast outside it-that's Ward. The area is consecreated until it's destroyed, dispelled or desecrated.
Metaphysics 4 Geas 14 Using a 1-hour ritual which requires their cooperation or restraint, you place a logic-triggered spell upon a target person, specifying requirements and restrictions. When that person's actions meet the trigger, they receive 2d6 potentially lethal psychic damage. This happens repeatedly until dispelled or until all requirements are fulfilled. In most cases this spell causes permanent nonmagical psychological trauma.
Metaphysics 4 Glyph 14 In a 1-minute ritual, you physically (not psychically) mark a faint or hidden symbol upon a surface. When touched or triggered by conditions you specify, it auto-casts another spell that you imprint on it. Requires concentration. Roll only once, using the higher dc/cost.

Metaphysics 5 Enchant Item 16 Cast to enchant an item with another spell so that it can be used by a non-caster. Requires 1-7 days of work. Requires rare ingredients, and an engineer friend or personal engineering skill is a great help.
Metaphysics 5 Psychic Storm 16 You attempt to cause a localized psychic storm with a minimum 100m radius. While active, disadvantage on all psychic rolls in the area, and anyone attempting to cast a spell receives 1d6 nonlethal psychic damage (to their hp) that also burns their spell points. Mundane people get headaches and are inexplicably inclined to leave the area. Exactly how this works is unknown. The duration of the storm varies and you do not control its size or movement.
Metaphysics 5 Arcane Training - By spending a month in focused teaching with daily 8-hour classes, you can train another person who you have determined has potential, to get the talent Caster-I and level-1 in an arcane skill you know. They will use the same casting style as you. After that point, they can buy skill levels in it as normal when they gain levels. 4 point cost per class per day, but there is no need for either person to roll during the process.
Metaphysics 5 Contingency 16 With a 30-minute ritual, you set up a spell and trigger on yourself. The spell must be level 4 or lower. When the trigger is met, the spell is automatically cast. You can have 1 at a time. The object spell must have a casting time of 30 minutes or less. Roll once on the higher of either spell's TN.

Anyone attempting to cast a spell on or in the area that you do not wish to allow receives one disadvantage die when attempting to do so and you will be mentally notified of their attempt. Alternatively, you can use this spell to attempt to penetrate an enemy's ward.

This causes exhaustion for you. Requires a solid understanding of exactly how all the parts work together.
