Inflict/Protect

Inflict causes the element in question to be inflicted upon the target, causing damage in some way based upon the element. The spell point cost of this effect would be one point for every Fortitude damage the spellcaster wanted to inflict upon the target, plus one point for every foot away the target is, plus one foot for every foot of area around that point the mage wishes to affect. Thus, to create five points of fire damage to all targets within a five foot area of a point twenty feet away, the mage would have to raise 30 energy points. If the mage wishes this damage to take place over time, he could add one point per full round or minute he wishes the spell to take place. In the same example from above, if the mage wanted the spell to take place over a five-minute timespan, he would add five to the total point cost, making it cost 35 points.
Protect causes the element in question to either protect the target or it will protect the target from that element. Thus, if Protect Water is cast on a party member, the spell could be set to protect the party member from damage by water or it could use water to protect the party member, mainly from Water’s opposite element, which is Fire, but it would also work on anything that makes sense. The energy requirement for such a spell is one point for every Fortitude damage the spellcaster wishes to prevent his targetfrom experiencing, plus one point for every foot away the target is, plus one foot for every foot of area around that point the mage wishes to affect. Thus, to create a shield that protects from five points of fire damage in a sphere that covers all targets within a five foot area of a point twenty feet away, the mage would have to raise 30 energy points. If the mage wishes this shield to last, he could add one point per full round or minute he wishes the spell to take place. In the same example from above, if the mage wanted the shield to last over a five-minute timespan, he would add five to the total point cost, making it cost 35 points.
