			'''ABRAHADABRA - OUTER GOD SPELL'''<br>
			An obscenely powerful Eldritch energy blast. A simple incantation, a powerful expenditure of Mana, and Curwen can release a pure beam of raw magic with the power to blast a hole through even a Deus Machina. This is like a cannon. The beam is fired, and forgotten. If it meets an equal or opposing beam, it will not 'continue' like a Kamehameha, but once fired it will not stop until it hits something, then explode with exceptional power. This is pure magic, tainted by the power of the Outer Gods, and not to be taken lightly. It is a single target spell, ostensibly, but if people are close enough together, he will destroy both of them. This is Curwen's signature spell, taken from Master Therion. A simple, but noteworthy spell due to the amount of damage it can cause.<br>

	Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose within range to fill a 60-foot-radius sphere until the spell ends. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can’t see through this darkness. Nonmagical light, as well as light created by spells of ~~8th level or lower~~, can't illuminate the area. Shrieks, gibbering, and mad laughter can be heard within the sphere. Whenever a creature starts its turn in the sphere, it must make a Wisdom saving throw, taking psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

	Choose one creature or nonmagical object that you can see within range. You transform the creature into a different creature, the creature into a nonmagical object, or the object into a creature (the object must be neither worn nor carried by another creature).

	*Creature into Creature: If you turn a creature into another kind of creature, the new form can be any kind you choose whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or its level, if the target doesn't have a challenge rating). The target's ~~game statistics~~, including mental ~~ability scores~~, are replaced by ~~the statistics~~ of the new form. It retains its ~~alignment~~ and personality.		*Creature into Creature: If you turn a creature into another kind of creature, the new form can be any kind you choose whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or its level, if the target doesn't have a challenge rating). The target's capabilities, including mental faculties, are replaced by those of the new form. It retains its morality and personality. The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech unless its new form is capable of such actions. The target's gear melds into the new form. The creature can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.
	The target assumes the hit points of its new form, and when it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the creature's normal form to 0 hit points, it isn't knocked unconscious.		*Object into Creature: You can turn an object into any kind of creature, as long as the creature's size is no larger than the object's size. The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It acts alongside you. You decide what action it takes and how it moves. The DM has the creature's statistics and resolves all of its actions and movement. If the spell becomes permanent, you no longer control the creature. It might remain friendly to you, depending on how you have treated it.

The caster must be able to see the levitation. The effect lasts several minutes. The spell levitates the target 3-5 feet off the ground or floor.

The caster must be able to see the levitation. The effect lasts several minutes. The spell levitates the target 3-5 feet off the ground or floor. If falling from a height, the target falls in slow motion and halts several feet off the ground. Extra mana expenditure after the spell is cast allows the user to move the target one yard horizontally or vertically. (If the target is a living being who is unwilling to be levitated, the caster must first overcome the target's magic points with his or her own.) The target floats as the caster wills, helpless to stop moving except by grabbing a tree limb or similar brace.

	'''Mirror Image'''<br>		'''Mirror Image'''<br>
	Three illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. Until the spell ends, the duplicates move with you and mimic your actions, shifting position so it’s impossible to track which image is real. You can use your action to dismiss the illusory duplicates. Each time a creature targets you with an attack during the spell’s duration, ~~roll a d20 to~~ determine whether the attack instead targets one of your duplicates. If you have three duplicates, you must roll a 6 or higher to change the attack’s target to a duplicate. With two duplicates, you must roll an 8 or higher.

The spell ends when all three duplicates are destroyed. A creature is unaffected by this spell if it can’t see, if it relies on senses other than sight, such as blindsight, or if it can perceive illusions as false, as with truesight.

	'''Powder Of Ibn-Ghazi'''<br>		'''Powder Of Ibn-Ghazi'''<br>
	Those without the telescope saw only an instant's flash of grey cloud—a cloud about the size of a moderately large building—near the top of the mountain. Curtis, who held the instrument, dropped it with a piercing shriek into the ankle-deep mud of the road. He reeled, and would have crumpled to the ground had not two or three others seized and steadied him. All he could do was moan half inaudibly. — H. P. Lovecraft, "The Dunwich Horror." The spell makes visible magically invisible things by blowing the powder against the invisible thing. The powder must be compounded carefully, according to exacting instructions, and involves three special ingredients and the sacrifice of ~~1 magic point~~ per dose. A dose is one application of the powder. The keeper determines the special ingredients. The powder is either blown from a tube or thrown over the target. The thing which is dusted stays visible for no more than ten heartbeats. That which could be made visible includes the magical lines extending from a place enchanted for the Calling of a Mythos deity, the aura around a Gate, and a normally invisible creature such as a star vampire~~. Using the powder costs no Sanity points, but seeing what it exposes may~~.		The spell makes visible magically invisible things by blowing the powder against the invisible thing.
