 1st Level Arcane Spell (Abjuration) \\ 1st Level Arcane Spell (Abjuration) \\
-As a [[actions|Quick action]], the spellcaster ignores damage and effects from a magical area effect or magical energy attack. This requires a successful spellcasting check modified by the level of the spell (e.g. A bolt of the 1st level spell Witchfire requires a 12+). This spell does not require any spell components.+As a [[actions|Quick action]], the spellcaster ignores damage and effects from a magical area effect or magical energy attack. To be successful, this spellcasting check is further modified by the level of the spell to be countered (e.g. the 3rd level spell Caustic Bullet requires a 13+).

 As the sun rises on the next day, or at the Kaballist's command the Ibbur leaves the mortal world and makes its way to the heavens leaving any possessed corpse unable to be used for any sort of future animation or necromancy.  This spell requires a tiny bag of edible nuts, seeds, or berries and a small candle. As the sun rises on the next day, or at the Kaballist's command the Ibbur leaves the mortal world and makes its way to the heavens leaving any possessed corpse unable to be used for any sort of future animation or necromancy.  This spell requires a tiny bag of edible nuts, seeds, or berries and a small candle.

 +===== Candle Calling =====
 +
 +2nd Level Arcane Spell (Spiritualism) \\
 +Chanting quietly while staring at flame of the candle, you may communicate with someone holding another candle created specially just for this spell. The wick of that candle will magically light, and then the recipient of the message may gaze into its flame to complete the communication link. Once the link is complete, you and the recipient of the message may talk normally as if you were both in the same room. Only those entranced and concentrating on the candle flame will hear the voices emanating from the candle. While the spell is in effect, flame of the candle burns sickly green. The candle is consumed unnaturally fast while the spell is active and burns out once concentration is broken, leaving behind naught but a pool of molten wax. 
 +
 +The material component for this spell are two candles specifically made for this purpose from the the flesh of black sheep. One is used by the caster, and another by the recipient.

They may move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings while leaving one of its hands free. If they remove their shoes and move barefoot, travelling in this manner leaves both the target's hands free. The material component of this spell are a few spider eggs. One willing creature you touch gains a climbing speed equal to its walking speed for one hour or as long as you continue to concentrate on the spell.
