Kinetic Reality

Level Spell AoE Duration Range Type Description

1 Lesser Detect 50'r C 50' I Caster detects all sources of kinetic energy in the area of effect.
Kinetics Caster is aware of the type of kinetic (wind, gravity, creature, etc.)
and intensity (weak to strong or slow to fast). This spell cannot
pierce physical barriers such as walls. This spell can be used to
located invisible creatures.
2 Kinetic Protection 1 target 1 min/lvl 10' F Target gains +10 to Defensive Bonus versus physical attacks
including falls.
3 Lesser Greased 20'r 10 min/lvl 10' F Caster can increase the speed or efficiency of any kinetic by up to
Wheel 25 percent. Machines operate 25 percent easier. Creatures move 25
percent faster and so on. This spell has no effect on combat, though
missiles fired from the area of effect have 25 percent greater range.
Caster could alternatively use this to increase the efficiency of
gravity, this could cause birds to fall out of the sky, supports to
break, or falls to be 25 percent more damaging.
4 Lesser Friction 20'r 10 min/lvl 10' F Caster can decrease the speed or efficiency of any kinetic by up to
25 percent. Machines operate 25 percent slower (possibly making it
too difficult to operate). Creatures move 25 percent slower and so
on. Missiles fired from the area of effect have 25 percent less range.
Caster could alternatively use this to decrease the efficiency of
gravity, this could allow chickens to fly, allow a rope to support 25
percent more weight, or falls to be 25 percent less damaging.
5 Kinetic 20'r 10 min/lvl 10' F Caster can manipulate all of the kinetic energy within the area of
Conversion effect and transform one form of kinetic energy into another. For
example, the wind movement could be converted to operate a
machine (a windmill without the mill). This spell can also be used
to move a captured kinetic force or source. Gravity cannot be
manipulated by the use of this spell.
6 Deflection 5'r 1 rnd/lvl 10' F Caster causes all physical missiles in the area of effect to be at –
100. Has no effect on magical bolts.
7 Capture Lesser 20'r 10 min/lvl 10' F Caster is able to contain a kinetic energy (wind, gravity, pressure,
Kinetic or even the movement of a creature). The caster contains the kinetic
energy within a machine (in order to operate it) or else as a ball of
kinetic energy – easily heard as a wooshing, but only seen as a
slight distortion. The new kinetic source will remain where
summoned (generally floating in the air, but not always). The
source is equivalent to a lesser earth elemental in power, but has no
sentience. It is just a ball of energy until moved by a Converted
Force spell, which allows the caster to concentrate on the kinetic
force and have it attack as a lesser earth elemental.
8 Negate Lesser 1 target C 100' F Caster may negate one kinetic force in the area of effect including
Kinetic gravity. The effect lasts only while the caster concentrates. This can
prevent one creature from moving at all, stop a missile, or by
negating gravity cause a creature to slowly float upwards (5’ per
round). Alternatively, caster may destroy one captured kinetic force
or kinetic source.
9 Stationary Target 1 target 1 rnd/lvl 100' F Target is totally unaffected by all forms of kinetic energy for the
duration, but is also incapable of any form of movement. The target
can only see what is directly in front of them and cannot speak.
This makes the target immune to all physical attacks, gravity, and
so forth. While the target is not affected by gravity, he will remain
rooted to the ground – i.e. stationary in relation to the earth.
10 Lesser Kinetic 1 source P 10' F As Capture Lesser Kinetic, except the caster may make a kinetic
Source source. The creation of a kinetic source requires 10 days of casting
the same spell in the same place. The process requires 2 hours of
time each day for the 10-day period.
11 Kinetic Armor 1 target 1 min/lvl 10' F As Kinetic Protection, except target receives a +25.
12 Greater Greased 50'r 10 min/lvl 100' F As Lesser Greased Wheel, except for area of effect, range and
Wheel improves efficiency by 50 percent.
13 Greater Friction 50'r 10 min/lvl 100' F As Lesser Friction, except for area of effect, range and diminishes
efficiency by 50 percent.
 14 Kinetic Fuel 1 cu ft 1 hour/lvl 10' F Caster can convert matter into kinetic energy. Any 1 cubic foot of
non-magic substance can be converted into any combination of
kinetic energy. This spell can be used to propel the fuel with the
strength of a catapult at a target (Lightning Bolt attack with Impact
Criticals). Alternatively, the fuel could be used to propel a normally
laden wagon at 2 HP for the duration. The substance will slowly be
consumed over the duration of the spell as it is converted to the
appropriate energy. If the spell is cancelled, then only a
proportionate part of the substance is destroyed.
15 Kinetic Cross Varies — 10' U This spell allows the caster to use the next spell from this list to
Enchantment modify any other substance as categorized by another Arcane
Alchemist Base List. The GM will have to monitor these effects
and interpret the results. The caster may determine the type of
kinetic energy being used and through spell mastery may craft a
desired result, but the GM will have final say. Once a particular
effect has been successfully completed, it can be replicated at any
time. For example, linking a kinetic source movement to a rock
could make a rock that rolls around, a rock that hurls itself at
enemies (miners?), or a rock that is +25 to siege engine attacks.
16 Permanent Lesser 1 spell P 10' U This spell makes the next spell cast from this list that effects lesser
Kinetic kinetic to have a permanent duration. This spell and the
enchantment must be cast for 24 days in a row. Each day, the target
kinetic will be effected by the spell for 1 additional hour per day
(starting with only one hour the first day). If a day of casting this
spell is missed, then the day count drops by 4 days. At the end of 24
days, the enchantment is permanent. This spell is not required to
form permanent sources, but can be used to create permanent
energy conversions such as wind to mechanical or lateral
horsepower to vertical lift.
17 Capture Greater 50'r 10 min/lvl 10' F As Capture Lesser Kinetic, except the kinetic energy is equivalent
Kinetic to a greater elemental.
18 Negate Greater 2 C 200' F As Negate Lesser Kinetic, except may effect up to two targets,
Kinetic targets destroy two lesser kinetics, or can destroy a greater kinetic source.
19 Reflection 5'r 1 rnd/lvl 10' F As Deflection, except all missiles that enter the field and fail to
strike the target, will be turned on the attacker and attack with a 50
OB.
20 Greater Kinetic 1 source P 10' F As Lesser Kinetic Source, except the kinetic energy is equivalent to
Source a greater elemental.
25 Stasis 1 target 1 day/lvl 100' F As Stationary Target, except target is also immune to the passage
of time and the need for food and drink. For all intents and
purposes, the target is frozen in time and will only awaken once the
spell is canceled. The target will remember nothing of events that
happened to or around him while in stasis. Target cannot be moved.
30 Permanent 1 spell P 10' U As Permanent Lesser Kinetics, except effects greater kinetic spells.
Greater Kinetics
50 Acceleration 100'r C 100' F Caster can selectively increase or decrease any and all kinetic
energy in the area of effect by up to 75 percent.
Note: For this spell list "kinetic energy" refers to all forms of movement including: magnetism, gravity, mechanical, wind and so on.
While some of these energy forms are not technically kinetic in nature, they have been classified by the Arcane Alchemists based on
effects. In general, knowledge of kinetics should be limited by skill in Physics. Many of the spell effects are open-ended and require
interpretation. Don’t worry about doing a lot of math to work out energy conversions, just use what "seems" right at the time. If you
convert the forward movement of a horse into upward movement, then just use a rule of thumb like one-quarter speed. Any
discrepancy can be explained as being lost in the conversion.
