Creating new magic spells...

Unread post by Colt47 »

Does anyone know if palladium has any kind of benchmark to base new spells off of? Been trying to fill out a few missing pieces on a custom spell list and I'm running into an issue with finding good example spells.
Norbu the Enchanter: Hello friends! What brings you to my shop today?

Big Joe: We need some things enchanted to take a beating...

Norbu: Perhaps you want your weapons enchanted? Or maybe a shield or sword? I can even enchant armor!

Big Joe: We need you to enchant this Liver, this heart, and these kidneys.

Norbu: :shock:

The Benchmark spells are ALL THE CANON SPELLS.
There are two spell creation rules set. the newest, and from what I can see is meant for fantasy/medieval setting. These are found in the PF Mysteries of Magic book 1. The older set of spell creation rules, meant for a more literate population, are found in the NB: Through the GLass Darkly book.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
