Incantations bring ritual magic to your Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Powerful and mysterious, this magic is accessible to any character. But power like this never comes without a price...

Wield great and terrible magic. Or fall before those who do. Discover all new incantations and the rules to create your own.

  • The intensity of Voodoo, a bridge between the mundane and divine
  • The wonder of an idyllic Old World folklore, an animistic celebration of nature and Slavic fairy tale
  • The madness of the Arcanum, a supplication to mind-blasting terror
  • Rules and guidelines to build your own balanced incantations and incorporate them into your game
  • Plus all new options, including opposed checks and lesser incantations
  • Everything you need to build your own unpredictable, living, breathing magic is included!

Incantations from the Other Side: Spirit Magic is a perfect resource for players wanting to add a little danger to their characters or for GMs needing that extra something for their game world. This is 44 pages of high-quality content compatible with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

This book introduces Incantations. What are incantations? They are basically spells. Not any spell where you have to take a class and gain levels to cast it. Instead you have to spend time, money and make skill checks to perform a ritual to cast the spell. This means anyone can cast it if they do it right and the ritual and spell can get pretty elaborate. The hard copy describes how incantations work and has rules for how to design your own before moving on to sample incantations based on real world faiths.

These aren't the kind of things to just give to your players and let them run wild. This is the kind of thing that can be the center of mystical mysteries, the precedent for campaign ending schemes or weird magic found in dusty books at the bottom of a dungeon.

This product gives a concept and applies a lot of fluff and flavor to it but how much you value the concept is going to make or break it for you. Personally I think this is the kind of magic that can make entire campaigns and it is presented with detail, flavor and solid crunch so I'm giving it five stars and would insist that this is one of those 'must have' books. Even if you have Kobold Press' Deep Magic, which also introduces the exact same rules, this product is still valuable for the sample incantations you can put into your games.

Looks really interesting!

Agreed!

Zombie Sky Press

Yes! Our two published incantations PDFs have been collected and are available for print (b&w). They'll be here for Paizocom.


Are these PDFs in landscape or portrait?

Zombie Sky Press

The PDFs are portrait (like all ZSP products) and color. The prints are standard portrait and b&w.


Any chance for full color print?

Zombie Sky Press

Sure, if there's people interested in color prints, I could set those up as POD. It's likely to be $20 or more, though. But Alice's colors do look wonderful! ;D


Any chance of a credit for those of us who purchased the PDFs in the past?


I can't speak for others, but personally, I'd buy color versions vs. b/w - the artworks are too neat to be reduced to b/w. ;)

Zombie Sky Press

@Thorr-kan: I've talked to the wonderful Mistress of the Webstore, and she says this can be done! When I get the color prints in order (see response below), I will set this up, too. :D

@Endzeitgeist: Sure, We'll give a color print option for this a go. Won't have them by Paizocon, though (but I should be able to confirm pre-orders by then). When I have a high enough quality proof in my hand, I'll pull the trigger on it. :D

Scott: now I get to eat crow. I only purchased _Incantations in Theory and Practice_ from Paizo. I got _..from the Other Side_ from another vendor.

So, I'll buy the whole thing, and I'll spring for color too! Let me know when the preorder's available.


I'd be interested in a color print version of this as well!!


Any updates on when print version will be available?

Yes! The b&w copies are at the Paizo warehouse, but I know the staff has been very busy since Paizocon. I expect they should be available for shipment this week.

I'm still waiting on a proof for the color copies.

Zombie Sky Press

And the b&w prints are now in the system! :D

There's a discount if you already bought both PDFs. Had you bought them previously?

Yeah, sorry about that! Just wanted to be sure nothing was wrong, because man that seemed off for a print product. :)

Looking forward to having something to easily hand out. I really like the idea of ritualized magic accessable to a wider range of characters, especially as a way to further flesh out settings and set the mood.

Zombie Sky Press

It's a thank you to everyone who already bought the PDFs. :)

Zombie Sky Press

Now that we've discovered the discount works, let me tell you about it! :)

The print edition will be discounted to anyone who has already purchased the two PDFs here at Paizo by the full price of the PDFs. But this discount will only last until next month (August 15). Thanks for all your support!

Sorry; my id got away from me for a sec there. I've been reviewing the PDFs. And now I want the color version *more.*

I hope the b&w is selling like hotcakes.

You may now preorder the Color Print/PDF bundle of this book!

Zombie Sky Press

You have amazing timing, Thorr-kan! :D

Yes! The proof came in, and it looks GOOD! God-Queen Liz has seen fit to create a preorder button for it, so anyone that wants one should make with the clicky clicky. :)

Contributor

God-Queen, eh? I think I might put that on my business cards. :D

Wait; my id was right?! That's a first.

Preordered and downloaded. Waiting for shipping.


Any ETA on the color hardcopy?

Publisher, Zombie Sky Press

Should arrive at the Paizo warehouse early next week!

Webstore Gninja Minion

Color print copies have arrived—get 'em while the getting's good! :D


USPS says it's coming...

Shadow Lodge

Ooooh!


Arrived yesterday. I love the color cover. Print's much easier on my poor eyes than the PDFs.


I picked up the color print edition of this, I like it, adds some cool stuff to my Pathfinder games.
