The Glyph Magic of RelPek

(Deep Magic);

Deep Magic is a mysterious discipline, believed

to have roots in both psychic and magical

energy, as it requires only concentration to

create a spell-like effect, but gives no tell-tale

component like gestures or chants. It seems to

be associated with chaos but, like sorcery, its

power can be used for good or evil.

Deep Magic in RelPek works the same way as

Advanced Magics Deep Magic, but with the

following changes:

A POW of 16 is required to learn Deep Magic.

Magi choose a Sphere and Glyph to specialize in

at the beginning of their careers, and may

prepare up to Half of their INT in spells at any

time, recording other ideas as Deep Magic Spells

in their spell books (if desired). Deep Magi can

specialize in a different rune (One more Sphere

or One more Glyph) for every 6 points of INT

above 16.

Casting outside the Specialization:

The success of spells used outside of the Magis

specialization rely on INT, rather POW. Before

casting such a spell, the sorcerer must make a

special Idea roll, based on the mages INT, less

the number of Magic Points needed to cast the

spell, and multiplied by 5. If the Idea roll fails, or

if 96% 100% is rolled, then the spell does not

work and the caster loses 1 Magic Point.

The spell caster may increase the time required

to cast a spell to improve his chances of casting

the spell; increase the time needed to cast the

spell to 1 round per MP cost of the spell. If

uninterrupted, then the idea roll noted above is

considered to be Easy.

If the caster is interrupted (hit by a mace,

jostled, forced to dodge or parry, knocked off a

building, etc), then he must he must

immediately make the required Special Idea roll

or he loses 1 MP and the spell fails. If the makes

the check, then he can continue casting the spell

(on the final round of casting, his chance to

succeed doubles.

Preparation: New spells require 1 round per

MP of base cost to prepare. A magi may have

number of spells prepared at one time equal to

his INT score.

Prepared spells require one action to cast.

Base Cost: 2 MP (1 MP minimum)

+1 for each space from a specialization on the

Sphere Wheel.

Note that through the Ethereal Plane, no

Elemental Sphere is more than 2 spaces from

any other Elemental Sphere. However, when

trying to access an Elemental (or a Para-

Elemental) sphere from its opposite, the cost is

automatically +2 MP. Some Magi balance this

by specializing in opposite elemental/para-

elemental spheres.

When passing from an elemental specialization

to an Upper (or Lower) plane, one has to pass

through the Ethereal Plane, to the Astral Plane,

then to the upper plane, costing +3 MP.

+1 for each space from a specialization the

Glyph Wheel.

Reductions to Deep Magic Casting (a minimum

MP cost of 1 MP applies to each of the below).

Subtract 1 from the MP cost of each spell for

each 3 points of INT above 16, with a minimum

cost of 1 MP.

Verbal and Somatic Components may be added

to the spell on the fly to reduce the cost of the

spell being cast.

Subtract 1 from the MP cost if the magi speaks

the spell aloud.

2

Subtract 1 from the MP cost if the magi adds a

somatic component to the spell by tracing the

Glyph in the air with his hands. Apply the

physical skill penalty for any armor worn to the

required Idea Roll. If casting within own

specialization(s), then subtract the armors

physical skill penalty from 100%. Spells with a

somatic component always fumble on a roll of

96-100%.

THE PLANES AND THE SPHERES OF

INFLUENCE:

There are three Planes that govern the Spheres

of Influence; The Prime-Material Plane, the

Inner Planes, and The Outer Planes.

Some planes are considered to be adjacent to

other, specific planes, despite their cosmic

positions. These allow spells that require the

influence of the adjacent spheres to cost less

MP to cast.

The Astral Plane

The Prime Material Plane consist of the Spheres

of Flesh, Fauna, Mind/Spirit. The Sphere of

Mind/Spirit is considered to be adjacent to both

the Ethereal Plane and the Astral Plane.

The Inner Planes includes the Ethereal Plane,

the Elemental Planes, the Para-Elemental

Planes, the Positive Energy Plane, and the

Negative Energy Plane.

The Outer Planes includes the Astral Plane,

which is considered adjacent to the Ethereal

Plane, the Upper Planes, and the Lower Planes.

The Astral Plane divides the Upper Planes from

the Lower Planes.

The Prime-Material Plane:

Flora Mind/Spirt

Astral Plane

Flesh Ethereal Plane

There are three Sub-spheres within the Prime-

Material Sphere; Flesh, Fauna, and Spirit. Each

considered to be one place from the other two

(Imagine a triangle).

FLORA: The spawn of earth. This Sphere

includes all vegetation, from the lowliest fungi

to the greatest of trees.

MIND/SPIRIT: Intellect, mind emotions and the

soul, POW and INT the base from which all

senses are judged to have emerged from.

FLESH: This sphere covers all aspects of physical

being, including natural animals, insects, fish,

birds, reptiles and of the physical world.

Anything that directly affects the flesh is the

province of this Sphere.

THE ETHEREAL: Also known as the Bardo. This is

the plane that wraiths and spirits who cannot

pass to either the higher or lower planes get

stuck. It is the gateway from the material world

into the dangerous and chaotic realms of the

elements. Is Considered to be adjacent to each

of the Inner Planes, the Prime Material Plane,

the Energy Planes (Positive and Negative), and

the Prime Material sphere of Mind/Spirit.

POSITIVE ENERGY: This is the plane of the life-

force, said to be a lush verdant forest of

dangerous plants and beasts in some places and

endless pools of white energy in others. Heals

and adds to CON while damaging undead.

Invoked to Create Light. Is considered to be

adjacent to the Ethereal Plane, and each of the

elemental planes. Is not adjacent to the Prime

Material Plane.

It forms regions of the following quasi-

elements, from which many spells derive their

origins: Lightning (Air), Mineral (Earth), Radiance

(Fire), and Steam (Water). Thus, Positive Energy

sphere can be used to create or manipulate

effects regarding, Lightning, Mineral, Radiance,

and steam.

NEGATIVE ENERGY: Nothing with remotely

touched with a life force can exist for long in this

all-consuming realm. It is the energy that

animates the undead. Damages and drains CON

while animating and healing the undead.

Invoked to create Darkness. Is considered to be

adjacent to the Ethereal Plane and each of the

elemental planes. Is not adjacent to the Prime-

Material plane.

It forms regions of the following quasi-elements,

from which many spells derive their origins:

Vacuum (Air), Dust (Earth), Ash (Fire), and Salt

(Water). Thus, the Negative Energy Sphere can

be used to illicit effects regarding Vacuum, Dust,

Ash, and Salt.

MAGMA: The para-elemental region between

the Earth and Fire elements. Can be used to

transform earth or fire into lava to devastating

effect.

FIRE: This Sphere governs all aspects of fire:

smoke, heat, and flames...

SMOKE: The para-elemental region between

Fire and Air. This sphere can be used to

transform air or fire into smoke. Can create

thin, obscuring smoke or thick choking ashen

fumes.

AIR: Air governs the movement of the winds,

the hurricanes and the tornadoeselements

which have the capability to soothe or to

destroy.

ICE: This is the para-elemental region between

air and water. Can be invoked to create walls of

ice or a devastating cold, or utilized to transform

air or water into Ice.

WATER: represents all liquids composed mainly

of water or which rely on it for their

composition: lakes, rivers, streams, the sea, the

rain, wine, milk, and dew.

OOZE: The para-elemental region between

water and earth. Can be used to transform a

volume of earth or water into mud or quicksand.

EARTH: This Sphere includes all minerals and

metalsbe they base or precious, solid or

liquid.

The Outer Planes:

The Upper Planes

The Astral Plane

The Lower Planes

THE ASTRAL PLANE: This is the plan that all

souls pass through on their way to the Upper or

Lower planes, according to the disposition of

their accumulated actions. Considered to be

4

adjacent to the Upper Planes, the Lower Planes,

and the Prime Material sphere of Mind/Spirit.

THE UPPER PLANES: These are the various

planes of the heavens and nirvanas, native

regions of existence for such beings as angels,

devas, couatl, and ascended elves and dragons.

THE LOWER PLANES: These are the hells and

abyssal realms of demons, devils, and similarly

damned beings. Some are as beautiful as the

heavenly realms, but the beauty veils something

sinister.

THE GLYPHS OF POWER

Transmutation Inhibition Diminution

Summoning Dismissal

Enhancement Direction Creation

INHIBITION: This enables the stopping and

prevention of things.

DIMINUTION: The Diminution glyph effects the

reduction of things in size, shape, mass and

density.

SUMMONING: This glyph calls beings or objects

from some other place; either in the world or

the realms that are unseen and untouchable by

ordinary people.

CREATION: The Creation glyph governs the

making of raw materials where no raw materials

are available.

DIRECTION: This glyph masters the movement

and redirection of things, either up, down, side

to side, or in any permutation possible within

the limits of earthly physics.

ENHANCEMENT: The glyph of Enhancement is

the opposite of Diminution and promotes the

growth or acceleration of things.

DISMISSAL: The opposite glyph to Summoning.

This power allows a sorcerer to dismiss from this

world creatures that may have come from

others.

TRANSMUTATION: The Transmutation glyph

allows for the changing of one thing into

another - be it water into ice or steam, or flesh

into stone or metal. This is the glyph of ultimate

Chaos.

Limit to Spell Levels:

Like other Spellcasters, magi cannot cast spells

with more than half their INT in levels.

Duration of Magic:

Rounds per point of Magis POW.

-3 MP to cost if reduced to Instantaneous.

+ 3 MP if extended to minutes.

+ 6 MP if extended to hours.

The target or caster may sacrifice a POW to

make effect permanent (DM approval may be

required). Undo Magic and like effects will

temporary suppress these permanent effects if

the caster of the undo magic spell overcomes

the POW of the target (not the original caster).

Number of Targets:

Single target or creation of single area-effects.

Single area-effects (field of fire, for example)

grant 5 diameter of effect.

+1 MP to increase the radius of the effect by 5

feet.

Note that in the case of spells that dont have an

effect which cannot described in terms of area

5

(like heal and armor spells), this simply extends

the number of targets. Visualize a 5 squared off

battle mat. Free is one space, +1 is four spaces

(a square), +2 is nine spaces (a 3 square by 3

square, square).

Rule of Four to One:

For every 4 points of POW, one point of healing

or damage may be inflicted to hit points.

The Rule of four has the per spell level

descriptor. For example, Magi with 20 POW can

spend 2 MP per level for an effect within their

specialization for an effect that is 5 points per

level (then add other modifiers afterwards).

This rule also applies to enhancing, healing or

damaging characteristics, such as STR, SIZ, APP,

CON, INT, POW, and DEX. Increases to POW do

not increase MP; but MP can be temporarily

increased or damaged with this effect.

Sphere of Flesh, Glyph of Inhibition can be used

to stay the effects of poison or disease. See the

Durations listed above.

For every 4 points of POW, one point of armor

may be granted (Flesh, Enhancement). Each 4

points of AP reduces DEX and MOV by 2 for the

duration of the spell.

+1 MP; randomized damage; change the rule of

four to D6 damage per level descriptor to the

spell. Thereafter, cost is +1 MP per D6 damage

(+2 MP for D6 dmg, +3 for 2D6, +4 for 3D6.)

Creation and targeting of Mass

To create, or move, or manipulate a target, use

the rule of four to one; 1 MP per 4 points of SiZ.

Creation (expansion/growing):

Expands inert matter only; a plank can be

created from a splinter, but a tree would not

grow from a seed. Requires a 1/10th of the

material that is to be created as a seed; Follows

the rule of 4; for every 4 points of POW, one pint

of liquid, or 10 pounds of material, or 1 cubic

foot of gas. Expansion is permanent by default.

Poisonous and rare materials are halved in the

amount of material created and require a

difficult luck roll.

Potions can be expanded (require a full dose as

a seed). This requires a Difficult Idea roll:

Fumble - potion is destroyed, kiss it

goodbye

Fail - potion is destroyed unless a

successful craft potion check is made

Success - potion divides into two equal

potions

Special - potion divides into three equal

potions

Critical - potion divides into four equal

potions, but recipe is gleamed (make a

successful craft potion roll to remember

the recipe)

Summoning Demons, Spirits,

Elementals and Para-Elementals; follow the established guidelines for the systems

used.

Demons: Sphere of Lower Planes, Glyph of

Summoning. Follow the Demon Summoning

system desired.

Spirits: Sphere of the Ethereal Plane, Glyph of

Summoning. Of not bound, they are

commanded for a number of rounds equal to

the POW of the magi.

6

Elementals: Sphere of Fire, Earth, Water, or Air.

Glyph of Summoning. Follow the Elemental

Summoning system desired.

Other Effects:

Use the Rule of Four for deeper and other

Effects: when a magi wishes to use one of these

effects in a way thats different from how its

noted below, or when the player desires an

effect that is not otherwise noted, it may seem

appropriate to add to the cost. I suggest using

the Rule of Four; simply add 4 MP to the cost.

For instance, if a comrade is dying on the field,

due to being stabbed by an orc pirate, and the

Magi is the only healer nearby, but Flesh is not

one of his specializations. Rather than leave his

comrades life to chance, he uses a Mind-

Spirt/transmutation effect to anchor the

comrades soul his body. This buys he party

several rounds in which to heal the damage to

his body before his soul departs (this assumes

there is enough of the body left to warrant

healing). 2 points seems a little low for this life-

saving effect, so the GM can decide the Rule of

Four comes into play here. The cost is now 6

MP (which can be mitigated if the magi both

speaks and traces the glyph in the air).

As another example, the players have capture a

suspected member of an assassins guild and

wish to use speak to mind to wrench the secrets

of the guild from the prisoners mind. Add 4

and a POW vs POW contest per secret (the

Name and role of each contact, how they

contact each other within the guild, etc).

BONDS UNBREAKABLESphere: Flesh. Glyph:

Inhibition. By manipulating the Flesh sphere

with the Inhibition glyph, the mage creates

tendrils of magical energy that bind and clasp

whatever the spell has been cast upon. Like the

Magic World spell, a POW vs. POW roll is

needed to break the effect. If another mage is

affected, he or she can try to undo the spell with

the equivalent of Undo Magic.

BOUNTY OF THE SEA Sphere: Water. Glyph:

Summoning. To simulate this spell, the mage

needs to summon water using the summoning

glyph. However the amount of water that

appears every round for the spells duration is

equal in gallons to the casters POW

characteristic; thus a mage with a POW of 17,

allowing the spell to last for 17 rounds.

BREATH OF LIFESphere: Air, Glyph: Creation.

By manipulating air with creation, the mage can

create a small pocket of air for use in whatever

medium he or she is submerged. The air pocket

lasts for a number of rounds equal to the

sorcerers POW.

Countermagic: (Spirit/Direction) Apply the rule

of four for levels of protection; for the duration

of the Countermagic, any spell effect targeting

the caster must overcome the spell levels of

countermagic or rebound upon the caster. This

will affect spells currently targeting the caster.

Curse of the Dark God; (Lower Planes or Flesh

/Enhancement or Transmutation) 4 MP plus size

modifier. Grants or inflicts upon the target one

selected mutation form the Mutations table for

the duration of the spell. The caster gains 2

points in Evil/Dark, and the target gains 2 as

well if it is a willing target.

Create Food or Water; (Flesh or Water or

Flora/Creation or Enhancement). Any food

created by the spell is nourishing but any excess

food vanishes after the spells duration.

Enhance or Diminish a skill: (Flesh or

Spirit/Direction or Enhancement or Diminution)

10 points of penalty/bonus per level, for the

duration of the spell. Targets May resist POW vs

POW each round to cancel the spell.

Enhance a weapon to inflict Max damage. A

weapons damage die may be enhanced, this

7

generally requires Earth/Enhancement, but

other effects may be used. Apply the

randomized damage rule noted below.

FURYSphere: Spirit, Glyph: Enhancement. The

caster enrages the spirit of the target into

wanting to fight unceasingly until the spell is

either dismissed or comes to the end of its

duration. A POW vs POW resistance roll is

necessary if the target is unwilling to accept the

spells effect. The effect is the same as described

in the Magic World rules.

GIFT OF THE EARTHSphere: Earth, Glyph:

Summoning. Similar to Bounty of the Sea, save

for the summoning of earth, dust and rubble

instead of water.

HOLD FASTSphere: Earth or Flora, depending

on substance, Glyph: Direction. The direction

rune causes the substances to flow together at

subatomic levels, creating in indissoluble bond.

Use the SiZ modifier for spell cost.

Invisibility: (Fire or Positive Energy (for Light

manipulation) /Direction) this will render the

target invisible for the duration of the spell until

it attacks. Apply the rule of four to cost of the

spell, based on the SIZ.

Lift: (Flesh or Earth or Air (if winds do the lifting)

for creatures or objects/Direction) moves the

target object or self MOV 6 as directed by the

caster. Targets May resist POW vs POW each

round.

LIKEN SHAPESphere: Flesh, Glyph:

Transmutation. To take on the semblance of

another creature, the caster manipulates the

body of the target; may require POW vs POW

and requires +1 MP per four points of SIZ.

MAKE WHOLESphere: Element appropriate to

thing being mended, Glyph: Creation or

Transmutation. This spell recreates the bonds

between the two parts of whatever has been

broken. The spell does not work on living

organic tissue, although wood and other

vegetable fibers can be affected. Use the SiZ

modifier for spell cost.

Manipulate Mental State; (Spirit/Enhancement

or Inhibition). 4 MP to induce Fury as the spell,

to effectively stun the target, or to Charm the

target, causing it to defend the caster and attack

anybody who attacks the caster. Target may

attempt POW vs POW to resist each round

effected by this spell. 4 MP to calm an angered

target, or to anger a calmed target, or to make a

calm/neutral target to regard the caster

favorably.

MIDNIGHTSphere: Negative Energy Plane,

Glyph: Creation. Absolute darkness is the result.

Mindblast Sphere: Spirt, Glyph:

Transformation. The targets mind is filled with

a rush of distracting, disorienting thoughts,

leaving him unable to take actions, or even to

take defensive actions while the spell persists.

The target may attempt an idea roll each round,

on his initiative rank to shake off the spell.

Success means that he may act normally that

round.

MOONRISESphere: Positive Energy Plane,

Glyph: Creation. The opposite of Midnight;, a

cool ball of light can be created to provide

limited illumination.

MUDDLESphere: Spirit, Glyph: Inhibition or

Transformation. The inhibition glyph prevents

rational thought from taking place, resulting in a

disorientation of the target, as described in by

the spell of the same name.

POXSphere: Spirit, Glyph: Dismissal. The

caster attempts to dismiss an opponents Magic

Points by attacking the spirit. With a successful

POW vs POW roll on the resistance table, MP

regenerate in the normal way.

Scry; (Spirit/Enhancement) allows the caster to

mentally observe events anywhere in the world

8

with his eyes closed. The Magi must have some

personal familiarity with either the place or

person/object being spied upon. May be used to

extend line of sight for spells cast afterwards.

CounterMagic/Spirit Screen/Undo magic type

protections stymie this spell.

SORCERERS SOULSphere: Spirit. Glyph:

Enhancement. POW is increased by the rule of

Four to One. Magic Points are not affected,

although the benefits described in the Magic

World rules remain.

SORCERERS SPEEDSphere: Flesh, Glyph:

Enhancement. The movement of the caster is

increased by the rule of Four to One. The spell

can be cast on a different species although

Dexterity is unaffected.

Speak to Mind: (Spirit/Enhancement or

Transmutation) Allows direct mental

communication between the caster and a target.

Store MP in an object: (Spirit/Creation) Use the

rule of four as a casting cost 1 MP to store 4

MP in the item. These MP do not regenerate.

Sacrifice a point of POW to make the effect

permanent, allowing the item to regenerate the

MP. The base Max set at the casting (rule of

four), but these items can be overcharged as

normal.

Teleport: (Flesh or Earth or Fauna for creatures

or objects/Dismissal or Summoning) instantly

transports a single target from one location

visible to the caster to another location visible to

the caster, and both points must be within a

range of POW X 10 feet of the caster. Targets

may resist POW vs POW (and certainly any

object held by another requires a POW vs POW

contest).

UNDO MAGICSphere: Spirit, Glyph: Dismissal.

Undo Magic works differently to the sorcery

spell of the same name. When cast, the Undo

spell has a strength determined by the rule of

Four to One. Undo Magic can be directed

against spells that have a strength based on the

POW of the caster, with each point of the Undo

Magics potency reducing the strength of the

target spell by one point. Undo Magic can be

countered by the Refutation.

Vampirism: (Spirit or Flesh/Direction);

temporarily drains points from the targets

characteristic or magic points and grants them

to the caster. These points return to the target

at the end of the spells duration. Magic points

are transferred to the caster as a separate pool

and will return the target if not used up. If the

target is slain before the spell ends, then the

points immediately dissipate.

Warp: (Lower Planes or Flesh/Enhancement or

Transmutation). 3 MP plus size modifier. Grants

or inflicts upon the target one selected ability

from the Demon Abilities table for the duration

of the spell. Reduces the APP of the spell by 3

for each ability, as its appearance is demonically

altered in some way to reflect the ability gained.

WITCH SIGHTSphere: Spirit. Glyph:

Enhancement. Allows the caster to sense

targets soul, its relative POW score can be

roughly determined as described in the Magic

World rules, as well as its predominant

alignment. A POW vs POW contest may be

required.

Sample Spells:

Note that the following spells were made using

a Magi who has the unusually high INT of 16 and

POW of 18, with the specializations of Fire, and

Enhancement. Ive allowed spells to be

memorized more as templates, with variables

being adjusted for the situation as noted.

Spells that have their rune-types in bold will also

require an Idea roll to be successfully cast.

Increasing the cost of the spell may lower the

chance of a successful Idea Roll.

who is also part thief/rogue. His INT is a more

typical 13 and his POW is 16, his Specializations
