Spell List

I am keeping the spell list fairly close to B/X, but the actual casting of spells will be more common. The major change many spells do not need to be specifically memorized and may simply be cast for 'free' when 1) not in combat, 2) in an unstressful situation, 3) 5-10 minutes allowable to cast the spell. Spells that are otherwise cast in combat or cast in stressful situations will need to memorized as normal and may be pronounced and released with a word of power and gesture.

All Cleric spells can be cast out of combat for 'free' essentially, which will make them a fair bit more powerful than normal. I am fine with this since this will essentially solve my problem with combat being completely bogged down with attrition - ala I kill 3 Kobolds then rest for two weeks. Besides, Clerics generally only memorize the healing spells which is counter productive to a fair sized spell list.

I can probably eliminate any combat changes, or at least save any combat changes for terms of flavor rather than mechanics. Some Cleric spells will probably need to be memorized assuming thier nature. Casting something like Sriking will almost always be used in combat, so they will need to memorize them. Generally though I'm surprised how few combat spells Clerics really have. The main limitation Clerics will have is time to cast out of combat spells, and the favor of their deity. Clearly over doing it will cause most deities to check them. Clerics will still start with all spells of level known, unless a spell is opposite of their deity. Anti-clerics can reverse spells by uttering the spells backwards - a profane act.

Magic-Users are a mixed bag and I really want to see spells in play that you otherwise never use - hold portal, floating disk, etc. The majority of their spells will naturally be combat related so they will need to be memorized, but I made sure a few non-combat ones were available as well. The main limitation is learning the spells. I am granting 1 spell-per-level gained (2 at level 1). Anything else must be found or painfully researched. an Intelligence check is needed to learn any researched or found spell - failing mean you can never learn it. So in this way Intelligence is very important to Magic-Users.

Bolded spells are Illusionist only (a status title), who gain both Magic-User spells and access to the Illusionist ones. Spells marked with * are only available in combat, thus must be memorized thoroughly and a word of power is required to release them.
