"Blade of Nemesis": mostrar
Blade of Nemesis: This spell costs 4 MP to activate plus a variable number of MP to charge. Casting Blade of Nemesis costs the caster 1D4 Sanity points and between 1 and 3 HP, which heal normally. To cast this spell one must be holding a bladed weapon and picture in their mind the target of their vengeance. Targets must be mortal human beings, as the spell does not work on animals or supernatural entities. As they do this the casters must cut their flesh with the blade to mark its edge with their blood. This causes the caster 1 HP of damage for short length weapons (ex: small knife), 2 HP for medium length weapons (ex: gladius), or 3 HP for long length weapons (ex: great axe). The caster loses 2 MP plus however many of their remaining MP they choose (they cannot reduce themselves to zero MP). The blade then turns black and becomes surrounded by a nimbus of chilling energy. Only the caster may wield this weapon and the spell ends if it leaves their grasp. The spell ends after 6 rounds or once the blade strikes its chosen target. The spell affects ONLY the target chosen at casting.
Should the caster land a blow with the Blade of Nemesis the weapon causes normal damage plus an amount equal the additional MP sacrificed while casting the spell. The wound spew the victim’s blood outward at an incredible rate and volume, possibly causing them to bleed out. A wound caused by a weapon enchanted with this spell is incredibly painful; stunning the target for 1 round should they survive.
Example – When Marcia was eight years old her father sold her into slavery to pay off his gambling debts. She cursed him, calling upon the Pax Nemesis to grant her vengeance. In the fullness of time she gained her freedom, became a cultist of Nemesis and swore a blood oath against her father. Twenty years later Marcia tracks him down in a bathhouse and casts Blade of Nemesis on her knife. She drags the knife across her hip, causing 1 HP of damage to herself, picturing her father’s face as he counted his money as she was being carted away into slavery. She sacrifices 14 of her 16 MP into the spell, 2 to cast the spell and 12 to charge the damage bonus. Her knife turns black and begins emitting wisps of frost. Marcia comes up behind him and says “Father, turn around. Don’t you remember me?”
When her father turns she strikes, slashing across his throat. She rolls 1D4+db (1D4, Blicia is a strong cultists) and inflicts 4 points of damage. The effects of the Blade of Nemesis spell augment this damage by an additional 12 points, for a total of 16. The man dies screaming as every drop of his blood fountains out of the wound. His daughter joyously dances in the glorious crimson shower of her vengeance. Marcia’s blood oath is fulfilled.
