Magical Memorandum

Flamrune

An offensive flame-based spell. Upon casting the spell, a fiery spear appears at a spot of the magician’s choosing. It does not need to be launched immediately, but holding it there for too long will cause it to disappear. It was originally created as a spell combining fire and spear-throwing, where the fire spear would appear in the caster’s raised hand, and could then be launched at the enemy. Compared to its power, its incantation is simple, and so it has a long history as one of Lainur’s army’s staple spells. The incantation is: “Turn my will to flame. May this single spear set the sky alight and burn through all who stand in my way.”

Snake Rope

The spell Cazzy was about to cast when he first encountered Arcus. A supporting, binding-based spell. It’s a spell based on the properties of rope and the movements of snakes. Casting the spell summons several ropes which slither across the ground and bind your opponent. The incantation is: “May my power take the form of a rope and punish thee! Moreover, extend those tails back to me. Ancient snakes, crawl across the ground!”

Flame Tongue

The spell Sue attempted against Cazzy. An offensive flame-based spell. Flames are whipped up into the air before diving towards their opponent. As Arcus points out, since it includes the instruction to “incinerate the darkness,” it is weaker during daylight hours. The incantation is: “May my burning tongue incinerate the darkness. Turn my screams of despair into winds of calamitous change. Set forth, and permeate the sky.”

Burning Laughter

The spell used by Gaston’s hand-reared mercenaries. An offensive flame-based spell. This spell has the simple effect of summoning flame. However, it is highly powerful and effective. It is based on a description in the Ancient Chronicles of a group of merciless pyromancers out to collect a debt. It is popular with mercenaries and the Empire’s military. The incantation is: “He who bears fire cannot bear a heart. Corner and chase the debtor and burn the house down to the ground. That life too shall be your payment.”
