Blue Rose Arcana to DARPG spells

[Firallon]

I thought I would take the time to merge the two great Green Ronin games of my lifetime. Spells marked (*) are considered blood magic and have a corresponding Health cost in addition to their mana cost. Also spells with Beast in the title are part of a new school of magic (Animism).

Using these spells in your Dragon Age campaign will create a drastically different campaign, so please use with caution.

Edit: Flesh Shaping seemed a little powerful to me, so I've changed the Target Number from 12 to 14.

[Maliki]

Nice work, I know nothing of Blue Rose and I'm not sure how well thest "fit" DA, but I like them, especialy the Blood Magic spells.

[Firallon]

Yes, if you introduce these to your Dragon Age campaign, it will have a decidedly different feel. So if you want to try them out, I suggest only bringing a few in at a time. Perhaps making them available only to higher level mages, or as a research requirement. Maybe this is the ancient magic of the elves (or dragons) that has been lost over several ages.

[Saisei]

That's a seriously impressive amount of work.

I can't wait until the summer when I get me some freetime again. damn you college!

Now I remember what I forgot to do.

New Magic Focus
Animism: Understanding the secrets of the Animism school of magic.

New Talent
Animism Magic
Classes: Mage
Requirement: You must have the Magic (Animism) focus.

You have delved into the secrets of Animism magic, or the magic that influences the animal world.

Novice: You have a small animal companion that you share a strong emotional bond with. While this animal companion is within 2 yards of you, your Spellpower is +1. You can empathically communicate with the companion up to a distance of one mile. If your small animal companion ever dies you will not be able to attain a new one until you advance in level.

Journeyman:: Your knowledge of Animism magic is deep. When you cast an Animism spell, its cost in mana points is reduced by 1, to a minimum of 1. You also gain one new Animism spell.

[Maliki]

Thanks again very nice work.

While I won't be throwing all of these into my campaign, some will make it as lost spells for mages to stumble across, others as elven magics and the blood magic spells seem about dead on to what I think blood magic should look like.

So, again, excellent work!
