Name: Constrictor Duration: Sustained
Catagory: Manipulation Drain: M2

This spell creates several bands of energy which solidify
around a selected target and attempt to restrain him/her. For each
success (target # = 6) achieved, treat the bands as that strength
equivalent in a subduing test (Basic SR book, p. 71). Note, once
the target breaks free of the spell, i.e. overcomes the spell in
a subduing test, the spell is useless, the bands may not be moved
or repositioned. In effect, this spell restrict the use of the
arms and legs of the target. This is a physical spell.

Spell Design
Base: Use 'Unarmed' Skill L2
Drastic Effect (ignores unarmed skill) M2


>>>>>[ When first designing this spell, I had several colleagues
argue it was weaker than a Use Unarmed Skill. Granted, for
someone who has a decent unarmed this may be true, but since
this spell was designed for a friend with no unarmed skill
whatsoever, I believe it serves its purpose adequately.]<<<<<
-Gargoyle, raven shaman

>>>>>[ We've contemplated a mana form, so as to allow the caster
to restrain the target from astrally projecting, but it is
still in pieces all over the lodge.]<<<<<
-Lockjaw, gator shaman

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: ByPass Duration: Instant
Catagory: Manipulation Drain: M3

This spell is designed to allow the caster to telekinetically
unlock doors, windows, etc.. Unlike a magic fingers which would require
the caster to see the lock, this spell does it all for the mage. This
spell has had NO effect on Maglocks. The 'skill' of the spell is equal
to the number of successes achieved, target 4.
Mechanics: Basically, the GM should establish a difficulty
rating for each lock. The caster then must beat a threshold equal
to the rating assigned by the GM.

Minor Environmental S1
Drastic Effect D2
Very Limited Target (Locks) M2
Physical Spell M3

>>>>>[ When I first designed this spell, I never realized why,
now it has become obvious, it was a gift from Raccoon..]<<<<<
-Whisper, Raccoon Shaman

>>>>>[ Yeah, well thank 'ol Black Eyes when ya see him, guess I
followed m'bosses instructions when I stole a copy of it
from ya eh Whisper ol boy?]<<<<<
-Nikodaemus, Rat Shaman
