Mass Teleport, Greater This spell functions like mass teleport, except that there is no range limit and there is no chance you arrive off target. In addition, you need not have seen the destination, but in that case you must have at least a reliable description of the place to which you are teleporting. If you attempt to teleport with insufficient information (or with misleading information), you and the subjects of the spell disappear and simply reappear in your original location. Interplanar travel is not possible. |
|
Extended Peripety Abjuration Ranged attacks targeted against the character rebound on the original attacker. Any time during the duration, five attacks are automatically reflected back on the original attacker; the character decides which attacks before damage is rolled. The reflected attack rebounds on the attacker using the same attack roll. Once five attacks are so reflected, the spell ends. |

Hagistre's Refuge Conjuration (Teleportation) This spell is an epic version of the refuge spell. You create powerful magic in a small silver rod. This rod contains the power to instantly transport its attuned possessor any others attuned to it across any distance within the same plane to your abode. Once the rod is transmuted, you must give it willingly to a creature or creatures who must attune themselves to the rod by spilling a drop of blood upon it. To make use of the item, one of those attuned to the item speaks the command word at the same time that it rends or breaks the item (a standard action). When this is done, the individual and all objects it is wearing and carrying (to a maximum of the character’s heavy load) are instantly transported to your abode. Any other attuned creatures within 20 ft of the rod, and their possessions, are also transported. No other creatures are affected (aside from a familiar that is touching the subject). A maximum of 10 creatures may be attuned to the rod. The caster may, at the time of transmutation, also cast a geas/quest spell into the rod, thereby setting a condition only upon which the rod may be activated. Such condition can include completion of a task, possession of a certain item, etc. Material Component: A silver rod intricately carved with runes and studded with gems worth 3,000 gp. |
|
Shroud of Protection Conjuration (Creation, Force) A translucent shroud of force surrounds the subject of shroud of protection, providing a +13 armor bonus to Armour Class. Unlike mundane armour, shroud of protection entails no armour check penalty, arcane spell failure chance, or speed reduction. Because shroud of protection is made of force, incorporeal creatures can't bypass it the way they do normal armour. |

Argus (he prefers to be known by his middle name) was the born in 5513 as the third son of a minor noble of the Imperial Heartland in Antoria. While his elder brothers were groomed to lead the household and run the family business, the third son was usually sent abroad to earn his way as a soldier. However, Argus contracted a disease in his childhood that, while not crippling him, did weaken him significantly. As such, with a martial career out of the question, Argus was given to the tutelage of his mother. She taught him to read and he took quickly to his studies. Eventually, his mother had to decide between sending Argus to a temple to train as a priest, or to enroll him in a wizard college. With input from Fedaric himself, she decided to enroll him into the College of Transmutation. Argus showed great promise, but after his first year of coursework, his family's mercantile fortunes fell abruptly. His teachers, noting his potential and not wanting to lose a possibly gifted student, arranged for a loan from House Riverine to pay for the remainder of Argus' schooling. In 5535 he graduated and was indentured to House Riverine to pay his debt. He was sent north to the Far Coast to serve under the House Mage there named Curinax.
Argus studied hard and served well, eventually paying off his debt and becoming a full member of House Riverine, eventually passing Curinax in terms of power and learning. In 5544 he opened an alchemist shop in Dwillingir and continues to run the shop to this day.
