one I came up with:
Wrack
Type: M * Target: W * Duration: S * Drain: -1(Wound Level)
Wrack inflicts the target with "phantom" pain by stimulating pain receptors
throughout the body with mana. The pain is illusory, in that it goes away once
the spell caster ceases to sustain the spell. Pain caused by Wrack is not
cumulative with Physical damage, but must surpass the target's current Physical
wound level to have any noticeable effect. It is cumulative with Stun damage.
Wrack only affects things that can feel pain, thus it is useless against non-
animals.
Personally, I don't like the Drain level, but I can't think of anything else
that is balanced. Maybe -1(Wound Level - 1), but then causing Light Wounds is
silly. Any ideas?
That is all
