School of Gastromancy

Food Coma

Range: Touch
Duration: 15 minutes
Type: Offensive, Mental
Target: Person
Resisted by: Willpower
Effect:
Directly affects the mind, causing signals from the brain to be stopped. The target falls unconscious for 15mins.

The target can be awoken before this by any of the following methods:

Causing any damage (including subdual and bruising, excluding damage soaked by Endurance). Draining/Stealing any Mana/Standing.

Note that this spell does not affect the Undead, plants, or similar creatures.

Iron Stomach <n>

Range: Self
Duration: 15 minutes
Type: Non-stackable
Target: Person
Effect:
The caster and his possessions gain immunity from the next <n> Gastromancy spells, or Poison or Disease cast at them, whether or not they are beneficial. The Iron Stomach takes effect before all other protections are taken into account. The player should call “Bounce” when a Resistance takes effect.

Spice Wrack <n>

Range: 20’
Duration: Instantaneous plus special
Type: Offensive
Target: Person, Demon
Power: Chaos
Resisted By: Power Armour
Effect:
Spice Wrack <n> causes <n> points of Power damage to every location of the target creature and <n> Life Point damage. It addition, if any damage is caused (or if damage is soaked by Endurance), the spell also causes extreme pain, which stops the target from initiating any action for 10 seconds. If attacked, he can still defend himself but cannot attack back, for example. At the very least, the player should scream and drop to at least one knee.

When cast on a Demon, Spice Wrack has the additional effect of reducing its Rank by <n> for 24 hours (the Demon loses the last skills bought with any part of the 10 x <n> Character Points).

Custard Bomb <n>

Range: 20’
Duration: Instantaneous
Type: Offensive, Elemental
Target: Area (10’ Radius)
Resisted by: Normal armour, Toughness, Dexterity (halved) if not target
Effect:
Custard Bomb <n> has the same effect as Air Blast <n> to all targets within its area of effect. The Mage can place the centre point up to 20’ away and all characters within a 10’ radius of the point are affected. Note that the Mage can target the spell on themselves but will also be affected by the spell.

The targeted character gains no defence from Dexterity and for all others in the area of effect Dexterity is only half as effective.

Jam Hand <n>

Range: Self
Duration: 15 minutes
Type: —
Target: Person
Power: Sap
Effect:
For 15 minutes the caster can cause <n> points of Power damage with their hands. The call is “Sap <n>”.

When cast Jam Hands is active on both hands. If you have Ambidexterity you can attack with either hand, otherwise you can only attack with your primary hand.

Once ‘on’, you cannot turn Jam Hands ‘off’ without cancelling the spell. Hence if you were to touch a friend, you would harm them.

Banana Trip

Range: 20’
Duration: Instantaneous
Type: Offensive
Target: Person
Resisted by: Dexterity
Effect:
Summons a banana under the targeted character’ feet, which trip them if they’re moving (the player should fall to their knees).

You cannot Banana Trip someone who is in the process of getting out of a Grip i.e. has just one leg free.

A usable Dexterity of 4 is sufficient to avoid the effects of Banana Trip.
