RABID BAT MAGIC (OPTIONAL)
IN OUR VERSION OF THE RABID BAD ENVIRONMENT ALL MAGICAL ABILITY COMES FROM CREATED OBJECTS. THINK OF IT LIKE BUILDING A GUN OR A
CAR. THE OBJECT IS CREATED BY THE MAKER AND CAN BE USED BY HIM OR
OTHERS IN THE MANNER IT WAS DESIGNED. TO BE USED. GAME MASTERS,
HOWEVER, ARE NOT BOUND TO OUR METHOD.
THESE OBJECTS DRAW MAGICAL POWER FROM THE ENVIRONMENT, POSSIBLY COSMIC RAYS ARE THEIR SOURCE OF ENERGY, OR MAYBE THE EARTHS
MAGNETIC FIELD. OR MAYBE FROM SOME SPIRITUAL OR EXTRA-DIMENSIONAL SOURCE. MAGIC ITEMS ARE CONSTANTLY DRAWING ENERGY TO RECHARGE
WHEN THE NEED TO.
JUST LIKE A GUN OR A KNIFE MOST PEOPLE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO
USE A MAGIC ITEM WITH AN IQ CHECK, BUT TO CREATE THESE MAGICAL
ITEMS REQUIRES AN IQ OF NO LESS THAN 7, AND ALSO REQUIRES THAT
THE CREATOR HAVE ‘ENCHANTER’ AS AN OCCUPATION.
THE ENCHANTER HAS THE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO GET THE DESIRED
EFFECT FROM THE MAGIC ITEM. HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT MATERIALS AND
RUNES ARE NECESSARY AND HOW TO ENCHANT THE ITEM TO GET IT TO DO
WHAT HE NEEDS FOR IT TO DO. THIS, AGAIN, IS SOMETHING WE LEAVE TO
THE INDIVIDUAL GM’S TO DECIDE FOR HIS GAME WORLD ENVIRONMENT.
THE TIME REQUIRED TO MAKE THESE ITEMS IS ONE WEEK FOR MINOR
ITEMS THAT DO NO DAMAGE AND ONE MONTH FOR ITEMS THAT CAUSE DAMAGE. THE GM MAY OR MAY NOT ALLOW MULTIPLE EFFECTS TO BE ENCHANTED
INTO ONE MAGIC ITEM.
FOR EXAMPLE, A WIZARDS STAFF OF FLAME WOULD PROJECT THE ‘FLAME
GEYSER’ ATTACK. WE THEN DECIDE THAT IT PROJECTS THE FLAME TO 40
FEET AND CAN BE USED 12 TIMES A DAY, TAKING 2 HOURS TO RECHARGE ONE
USE. THE WIZARDS STAFF OF FLAME CAN ONLY BE USED BY CHARACTERS
WITH AN IQ OF NO LESS THAN 7 AND WHO HAVE TAKEN SOME FORM OF
MAGICAL ABILITY AS A PROFESSION OR HOBBY.
=WIZARDS STAFF OF FLAME=
-MAGIC USER ONLY
-FLAME GEYSER, 40 FT RANGE
-12 USES PER DAY
-RECHARGE 1 PER 2 HOURS
A CHARACTER CAN BE BOTH AN ENCHANTER AND A MAGIC USER BUT IN
ORDER TO USE THE ITEM EFFECTIVELY THE CHARACTER MUST BE A
MAGE/WIZARD/SORCERER/ETC AS A PROFESSION OR HOBBY. JUST BECAUSE
ONE CAN BUILD A CAR DOESN'T MEAN ONE IS PROFICIENT IN DRIVING A
CAR.
MAGIC ITEMS DO NOT HAVE TO ONLY HAVE AN OFFENSIVE USE. THE
STAFF IN THE ABOVE EXAMPLE, COULD ALSO BE USED AS A TORCH AT A MUCH

RABID BAT POTIONS (OPTIONAL)
POTIONS ARE MADE FROM INGREDIENTS THAT EXIST IN NATURE. IT MAY
BE PLANTS OR OTHER SUBSTANCES FOUND IN A GIVEN ENVIRONMENT. THE
QUALITIES ARE NOT DEFINED HERE, BUT ARE LEFT UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL
GAMEMASTERS TO DECIDE INSTEAD.
THE REQUIRED SKILL TO KNOW WHAT INGREDIENTS TO USE AND TO
CREATED POTIONS WITH THEM IS CALLED “ALCHEMY”. IF A CHARACTER HAS
ALCHEMY AS A SKILL AND AN IQ OF 7 HE CAN CREATE POTIONS FROM RAW
INGREDIENTS. TIME FRAMES AND COSTS ARE ALSO LEFT TO THE GM.
BECAUSE MAGIC POTIONS ARE ONE USE RATHER THAN ENCHANTED
WITH MANY USES, WE SUGGEST THAT POTIONS COST NO MORE THAN 10%
OF AN ITEM THAT HAS THE SAME MAGICAL EFFECT. AND THAT IT ONLY
TAKES 1 - 3 DAYS TO MAKE A POTION.
RABID BAT SCROLLS (OPTIONAL)
SCROLLS ARE RUNE SPELLS WRITTEN ON ROLLS OF PARCHMENT BY A
SCRIBE WHO IS TRAINED NOT JUST TO WRITE THE CHARACTERS ON THE
PAGE, BUT TO USE HIS FORCE OF WILL TO EMPOWER THE RUNES TO HAVE
THE DESIRED EFFECT WHEN READ.
SCROLLS CAN BE USED BY SOMEONE WHO HAS THE ABILITY TO USE THEM
AS DETERMINED BY THE GM, GENERALLY A MAGICALLY INCLINED CHARACTER
OF SOME SORT READING THE RUNE WILL DO THE TRICK.
TYPES OF SCROLLS;
SINGLE USE. THESE SCROLLS ARE READ ONCE FOR THE EFFECT THEN THE
RUNE DISAPPEARS. THE SCROLL ITSELF CAN BE USED AGAIN FOR A NEW RUNE.
STORED USE. TO USE THESE SCROLLS THE CHARACTER READS THE SCROLL
AND CAN THEN USE THE EFFECT LATER WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK AT THE
SCROLL AGAIN. THE SCROLL MUST BE READ AGAIN, WHICH TAKES 10 MINUTES, TO BE USED AGAIN.
PERMANENT USE. THESE SCROLLS ARE USED BY READING THEM ONCE. THE
CHARACTER THEN ADDS THAT SPELL TO HIS CHARACTER SHEET. IT CAN BE
CAST EITHER ONCE PER DAY, PER HOUR, PER TURN, ETC, AS DETERMINED BY
THE GM. THE RUNE DISAPPEARS AFTER READING IT.
SPELL BOOK. A MAGIC USER CAN HAVE A SPELL BOOK WHERE HE SAVES HIS
“STORED USE” TYPE SCROLLS. SCRIBES CAN USE THESE TO COPY THE SPELLS
IN HIS SPELL BOOK ONTO NEW SCROLLS TAKING ANYWHERE FROM AN HOUR
TO A FEW DAYS DEPENDING ON THE COMPLEXITY AND POWER OF THE RUNE.
