I: Hold weapon in free hand and repeat x10 "Improve this weapon," tie strip on weapon.

R: 20 ft
E: Enemy player is given a task by the caster, such as sing or dance about, which he must perform. The caster should describe what he wants the Charmed player to do within a 10 count after casting the spell. The caster and the victim may not attack each other during this time. If the caster dies before the instructions for the Charm are given, the player is freed of the Charm. If the caster has not given his instructions within a 10 count the Charmed player is freed. Spell ends when the task is completed or a 150 count has elapsed, whichever comes first.
L: You may not Charm somebody to affect his own person, equipment, or teammates. The victim may defend himself if attacked, but otherwise may not interact with other players unless it is required to complete the Charm. The victim may move immediately to a safe, out of the way location, if performing the Charm at their current location would place him at a battlefield disadvantage. If moving to a safe location, the count for the Charm begins when the victim arrives at that location. Impossible tasks such as, "Bring me the moon in a teacup" result in the Charm being wasted.
N: The Charmed player's count starts the moment they are Charmed, except as noted above.

Circle of Protection (FE, Sorcery)

L: Can't block or restrict access to an area. Cannot be used as a cage. No one can enter without recasting the magic. Neither game items, nor persons acting as game items may be put inside. Protection starts when you step inside the cast circle. The enchantment is ended when anybody exits the circle.
N: Magic in the process of being cast inside the circle is broken when the circle is broken (e.g., no Doomsday circles). Players outside the circle can detect its presence (it is linked to this plane). May be removed by Dispel Magic or having an Anti-Magic fixed enchantment cast with the circle inside its area of effect.

Commune (S, Sorcery)
C: Druid 4
M: Tree
I: Touch tree with free hand, repeat x5 "Commune," sit down with back touching tree.
R: Self
E: Caster may not harm others. Others within 20 feet may not harm or take hostile actions towards the caster.
L: Must be chanting "Commune," keep back touching tree, and cannot be holding a weapon or game item or the magic is broken. Cannot be closer than 20 feet to a base or flag when Commune is started. May not interact with game items while in Commune.

Confidence (E, Sorcery)
C: Bard 3
M: Player
I: Touch player, repeat x5 "You are great and powerful," tie enchantment strip on target

I: Repeat x5 "By the power of my mind, I will thee to be confused."
R: 50 ft.
E: Target must attack the nearest creature(s) for a 100 count (with magic if the target wishes). The target must look around for the nearest player before attacking, but can then attack that person until it is dead, or choose to change to another target that becomes closer. If the "closest" person is killed, the target must look around for a new target and continue until the 100 count is up.
L: Monsters are immune.
N: The affected player is encouraged to "role-play" the Confusion. Reeves are encouraged to penalize players who make only half-hearted attempts at this effect and to shorten the next death count of targets that play it well.

Cure Ailments (S, Spirit)
C: Druid 1, Healer 1
M: Any diseased or poisoned creature
I: Repeat x5 "I sooth thy ailments"
R: Touch
E: Removes all disease or poison effects on the target.

complete."

I: Repeat x5 "I dispel that magic."
R: 20 ft.
E: If cast on a player, all spells and enchantments on a player are dispelled, including any enchantments on their equipment; Reanimated players die. If cast on an object, all enchantments on it are dispelled. May target a fixed enchantment to remove it.
L: Not usable against relics. It does not affect Extraordinary class abilities or skills, nor does it affect the following: neutral magic of any type, any spell or enchantment already discharged (such as Heal), Commune, Messenger, Teleport in the act of being completed, Lost, or Banish. Dispel Magic can cancel Anti-Magic only if cast from the outside.
N: Will cancel Protection from Magic. Will remove all enchantments from the target's equipment even if not currently in the possession of the target. Example: Throwing down an Imbued Weapon sword will not prevent Dispel Magic from removing the enchantment.

Doomsday (S, Death)
C: Wizard 4
I: Count "Doomsday 1, Doomsday 2..." through "Doomsday 350."

N: Dispel Magic or a touch from a weapon enchanted with Flameblade will instantly negate the effect. One Fireball striking the victim will instantly negate the effect.
