THE COLLEGE OF BINDING INCANTATIONS
	This College is concerned with general magic, but especially with the manipulation of other spells and protection from magic. Talents Detect Aura (T-1) All living (and most formerly living) entities possess an Aura which may be read for clues concerning the nature of the entity. Objects made of formerly living matter will also possess an Aura, but one which is much weaker. The following categories of Auras are listed in order of strength (weakest to strongest): Formerly living matter as part of an object A formerly living entity (not including undead) Living plants Lower orders of living animals Undead types Higher orders of living animals Humans and most humanoids Elves and other long-lived sentients Whenever confronted by an object whose nature is unknown to him, a Incantor may tell the GM that he is attempting to detect the being or object's Aura. The GM rolls D100. If the result is less than or equal to the Incantor's modified Perception, the GM must tell the Incantor which of the aforementioned categories of Aura he is seeing and answer one question of the Incantor's choice about the being or object (but need not give its Individual True Name). If the dice roll falls within the span of possible results necessary to achieve double or triple effects when casting a spell (see section 27), the Incantor may ask the GM two (for double effect) or three (for triple effect) questions. The GM may be as vague or specific as he desires. The Incantor's Perception is modified by adding the following to it: For every 5 feet (after first 5) separating the Incantor from the being or object whose Aura he wants to read        -1 For each Rank the Incantor has with the Detect Aura Talent        5 A being may not resist having its aura read but may alter its aura so that a misreading may occur. The Experience Multiple to increase one's Rank with this Talent is 75.
	General Knowledge Spell Incantors do not possess normal General Knowledge Spells. Instead, their body of General Knowledge consists of the ability to cast counterspells against all Colleges of Magic, and Incantors may loose a counter spell without preparing it. All counterspells are part of the General Knowledge of each Incantor when he completes his apprenticeship. They are known at Rank 0. Since there are 32 Colleges of Magic and each has a General Knowledge counter spell and a Special Knowledge counter spell, there are 64 possible counter spells which a Incantor may know. Incantors may know as many counter spells equal to twice their MA.  Characters would be wise to choose counter spells after they have discovered which type of mages are operating in their area. The following list of characteristics applies to all counter spells for all Colleges of magic: Range: 25 feet + 25 additional/Rank Duration: [D+5] minutes +1 additional/Rank Exp Multiple: 100 (for General Knowledge Counter spell) or 200 (for Special Knowledge Counter spell) Base Chance: 40% Resist: May be resisted. General Knowledge Rituals 1. Ritual of Dissipation (Q-1) An Incantor may always use any counterspell he presently knows to cause the effects of a spell cast over an individual or object to be dissipated (removed) by performing the Ritual of Dissipation. The Incantor treats this ritual as if he were employing Ritual Spell Preparation except that he must cast the appropriate counterspell in order to accomplish the dissipation of the spell. In order to perform this ritual, the Incantor must know the exact name of the spell that was cast over the character or object, what College the spell was a part of, and whether or not the spell was a General or Special Knowledge spell. Only spells (not rituals) may be dissipated using this technique. Only Incantors may use counterspells to dissipate spells once they have been cast.  Only Incantors may dispell magic by using this ritual. At least 1 hour must be spent implementing this ritual. The Incantor may not simply cast a counterspell over a character or object to achieve the same effect. Characters may never achieve Rank with this ritual, though the specific counterspell used may be ranked.
