NAVAL WAR M A G I C

Crew-affecting Spells

Crew-affecting spells are classified as though they create an H, R, or D
result for the target vessel on a battle card. Even though these spells
don't actually damage the vessel, the crew losses affect its fighting abil-
ity and maneuverability. A ship cannot sink due to spells of this sort—
it keeps its last hit until struck by a physical attack.

D: Cloudkill, death fog.
R: Blade barrier, chaos, symbol, mass charm, fear, prismatic spray, death

spell.
F: Confusion, pyrotechnics, insect plague, web, rainbow pattern, hypnotic

pattern.

Duration: Varies by spell.
#CS91

NAVAL WAR MAGIC

Fog

Spells: Wall of fog, fog cloud, pyrotechnics, obscurement, control weather.

Effects: No vessel may fire missiles into or out of the battle area con-
taining this card. A ship attempting to grapple another vessel in the
fog suffers a -2 column shift to its grappling check.
Duration: One round per level of caster.

#CS93

NAVAL WAR MAGIC

Barriers

Spells: Solid fog, wall of force, lower water, Otiluke's freezing sphere, wall
of ice.

Effects: All barrier spells prevent one enemy ship from moving for the
duration of the spell. Any ship that tries to board the affected ship
becomes stuck as well.

Solid fog also bars missile fire to and from the affected ship. Wall of

force, wall of ice, and Otiluke's freezing sphere each inflict one hit of hull

damage if cast on vessel that moved in this round of battle.
Duration: One battle round per level of caster.

#CS95

NAVAL WAR MAGIC CARD

Turn Wood

Spell: Turn wood.

Effects: The turn wood spell automatically moves a single enemy vessel
one battle area in a direction of the caster's choice, regardless of wind
direction or strength. Spellcasters can use this technique to break a
grapple or force a ship to run aground.
Duration: Immediate.

#CS97



NAVAL WAR MAGIC

Illusions

Spells: Phantasmal force, improved phantasmal force, spectral force,
advanced illusion, permanent illusion, programmed illusion.
Effects: By using an illusion spell, the caster creates a phantom dupli-
cate of his own ship. The commander may draw one additional vessel
of the exact same kind and place it with the caster's ship, mixing the
two so that the enemy player doesn't know which ship is real and
which is an illusion. The two ships can separate in later moves, but the
illusion disappears when an enemy ship hits it with missile fire or
attempts to board it.
Duration: Until dispelled.
#CS92

NAVAL WAR MAGIC

Movement Spells

Spells: Control weather, control winds, gust of wind.
Effects: Control weather and control winds spells allow the caster to
immediately change the wind direction to the quarter of his choice
and increase or decrease its strength by one category. Gust of wind
gives the caster's vessel an additional battle area of movement along
its current heading.
Duration: The effects of control weather and control winds last for the
duration of the battle.

#CS94

NAVAL WAR MAGIC

Bless

Spells: Bless, chant, prayer.
Effects: These spells may be cast on the crew and troops of the
caster's ship to add a +1 bonus to the ship's boarding value. In addi-
tion, the player of an affected ship with one or two icons under
Morale draws a random icon; if it's different, the player adds it to the
ship's morale icons for as long as the spell lasts.
Duration: One round per level of caster.

#CS96

NAVAL WAR MAGIC CARD

Attack Spells

Attack spells are classified as though they create an H, R, or D result
for the target vessel on a battle card.
D: Disintegrate, incendiary cloud, meteor swarm, fire storm.
R: Fireball, lightning bolt, delayed blast fireball, wall of fire, chain light-

ning, call lightning, produce fire, fire seeds.
H: Flame arrow, Melf's minute meteors, warp wood, flame strike.
Additional effects: Ships struck by any R or H spells have a 50% chance
of catching fire; ships aflame suffer one hit per turn until they sink.
Spells with R effects also cause one hit to an embarked troop unit.
Duration: Varies by spell.
