(Oops, misspelled).

Anyway, last night I got bored, and decided to make a useful spell
for all those sorcerer adepts out there...

Astral Sight
Spell Type: Mana
Target: 10 - Essence
Range: Touch
Duration: Sustained
Type: Detection (Hypersenses)
Drain Modifiers: Touch (-1 DT -1 DL)
Sustained (+1 DT)
Detection (-1 DT)
Voluntary Subject Required (-1 DL)
Very Involved (+3 DL)
Drain: Base D - 1 DT + 2 DL = (F/2 + 1)D
Notes: Makes recipient esentially a dual being. Only the caster can
end it, even if the target is no longer voluntary. Untrained people get an
ADDITIONAL +2 to all target numbers (above the astral sight penalties) if they
do not make a Magical Theory Test (TN 6), and are considered trained when they
have successfully made this test 10 times (option: at 5 turns, penalty goes to
+1)

Personal Version: Same as above, but drain is (F/2 + 1)S

There. All done. What do you think (and should I lower the Very In-
volved penalties? They're there just so sorcerer adepts will have to think
about using this spell, because they might take some drain...)

superdec.uni.uiuc.edu) version had a misprint."
