Song Spell #33 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give it away

 Give it away

Level: Beginner

Appearance: The caster will drop to their knees convulsing rhythmically to a strange twanging sound coming from nowhere. They will set an object on a surface and the object will explode with flame and smoke. The caster will shine with glimmering silver and catch the orange light of the flame on their body. The object eventually will disintegrate, and the fire will subside. The caster's silver color will dull and fade back to normal. 

Effect: Give it away is the mantra of a silver devil in a magical fire pit. This devil requires sacrifice to grant his power to any magic users who seek it. The silver devil determines the nature of acquiring the object that is being sacrificed and uses this scale to grant differing levels of magical power. The list is found below.

Found object - Whether it means something to the caster or not, found objects grant +1 dice to initiative in combat, and a guaranteed success for a free action outside of combat. This can be saved and must be announced by the player when used. 

Gifted object - The devil will coat you with the silvery pigment of his skin, giving you magical resistance and the same initiative boost as a found object. 

Heirloom object - A heirloom, only accepted if it is from the caster’s family, will give you the devils silver skin, and the devils glittering horns. You will have both the gift and found object effects, and you will also gain great insight into the silver devils alchemical and magical knowledge, with each heirloom given to the devil granting even more valuable information. 

Duration: The spell has set effects that do not have a duration, aside from the initial sacrifice requiring 10 seconds of devotion. 

Range: Must be right before the caster.

Type: Transfiguration and Evocation

This song is my favorite RHCP song. The video takes it to even greater heights.

Song Spell #24 Ian Carr - Caliban

Image
 Caliban Level: Legendary Appearance: The caster will summon Caliban, a golden gargoyle with kaleidoscopic eyes, who will obliterate all the caster chooses with an array of dreadful rays that beam from Caliban's eyes. Caliban has horns all over their body, concentrated on the side of their head and on their arms as well. Caliban speaks with a hypnotic cadence and their voice captivates anyone listening, inspiring allies, and terrifying foes. Caliban is immobile and the caster must choose where Caliban will perch. Caliban shifts through many faces, with each beamsight bearing a new fearsome face. Caliban when dispelled resembles a puzzle of themselves and begins to move and shift until they have totally collapsed in on themselves and disappeared completely from the naked eye.  Effect: Caliban is indestructible and possesses 5 beamsights that they utilize to destroy foes.  A list of the beamsights that Caliban has can be found below: Plasma ray - This beamsight creates a superheated

Song Spell #44 Cake - The distance

Image
 The distance Level: Intermediate Appearance: The caster visibly has more drag control and trajectory accuracy of any projectile based magic. Effect: The distance allows the caster to have more predictable control of projectile magic. The spell specifically makes projectiles work more in line with the distance variable of travel, making the spell more likely to hit its mark. This grants a bonus to any spell rolls if used premptively, which is the only way this meta spell can be used.  Duration: The duration of the spell that the distance has been cast on. Range: Caster range Type: Meta  This is a very energetic song with an excellent bassline and guitar riff. I like the lyrics of this song. They are unconventional for the situation that they are describing.
