System: Elric!
I am interjecting a short Stormbringer adventure into my Elric! game. One of the opponents has the spell Awaken Chaos. This spell no longer exists in Elric! (though a similar spell, Chaos Warp does). Therefore, I made the following write-up for this "new" old spell: AWAKEN CHAOS (8) - Range is touch. Chaotic. This powerful and dangerous ritual allows the caster to endow a random demonic ability upon a living creature. Unlike Chaos Warp, the endowment occurs against the creature's will. The ritual takes 8D8 hours to complete. The victim must be present for the entire ritual. The caster may pause the ritual at any time, though he may not cast any other spell or regain magic points while the ritual is in progress. The caster may stop the ritual at any time and lose 8 MP. During the ritual, the caster concentrates on the multi-forms of Chaos. The caster must draw arcane and foul symbols of Chaos upon the body of the victim during the ritual. When the ritual is complete, the caster spends 1 POW and matches his POW against the victim's. If the caster succeeds, the victim immediately gains one random demonic ability. If the ability requires or allows additional MP to be spent, the caster may spend MP to increase the ability just as for defining a demon. When the ritual is complete, the caster gains 1 Chaos point and loses 1 Balance point. The victim receives 1 Chaos point. Physical abilities may also lower the victims APP (-1D8). The victim retains the ability until death or some other powerful intervention. This spell does not work against demons or elementals. --- Clay Luther clay@incite.com
