Staring Wizard

Spells allow an ordinary person to do extraordinary things. They are useful for healing, attack, defense, solving problems, overcoming obstacles, and revealing that which is hidden. Though a spellcaster is not as deadly as a trained warrior, he is extremely useful to any adventuring party. Sorcerers and wizards learn spells by memorizing the proper incantations and gestures. Bards learn to sing and play mystical songs. All of them use magic to perform miracles through mind over matter.


Incantations
Casting Wizard

Sorcerers and wizards learn incantations. Only Low Magic incantations can be selected at character creation. These spells have a limited range. They can only affect targets within line of sight. The center of an area effect incantation must also be within line of sight. The caster can choose the radius of an area affect spell when it is cast. The minimum radius is his own hex, while the maximum radius is 5 hexes. A character must be able to speak to cast spells. He must also have one hand free to cast High Magic incantations.
