Lost Omens: Rival Academies Spells!

[ElementalofCuteness]

Tell me which spells are your new favorite spells from the new book! I do like Devouring Void, I think it is neat!

[Squark]

"Poppies... Poppies wil put them to sleep."

(Indolent haze is hillarious and I love it)

[Mangaholic13]

I admit, I haven't had time to look at all the spells, but Threefold Limb looks like a nice 1st rank spell for either spellstriking or telling martials to "get out of my face!".

I especially like the fact that it gives you options for damage and effect.

[steelhead]

Are these spells available to everyone, only to those in each of the schools, or a combination of the two?

[Mangaholic13]

Of the spells we all just mentioned, they are Uncommon, with the schools they originate from having access to them.

More specifically:
Devouring Void and Indolent Haze are Thassilonian Spells, and thus are either found at Thassilonian ruins or being taught at the Sihedron Academy.

Threefold Limb meanwhile was developed by Faydhaan genies and is not the sole property of the Unbreaking Wave.

In general, all the Non-focus spells in LO:RA are Uncommon. The only exceptions are a few rare spells that, in universe, were developed by individuals who simply haven't had the time to widely disseminate the knowledge.

I love the story spells from the Magaambya. Many have multi action (we love flexibility) and often have positive or negative effects to apply.

Unsettling Knowledge reminded me of what usually happens when I have to inform koala fans of an unfortunate fact about koalas... As far as things I enjoy, Buzzing Servants simply because, "AAAHHHH What is it? What is it? What is that? What IS IT? Ugh No! Not the bees! Not the bees!!!"

Coiling Dance is the best. 2nd level, divine/occult, 30' emanation, sustained 1 minute. On cast and sustain it gives a escape reaction to an ally who can use your Occultism or Religion modifier if they want, and it also makes all allies in the emanation count as holy for spells and attacks. Either of these effects would be a good scroll spell, if you're in a fiend heavy campaign with party members who need help getting sanctified this can even be good as a spell known or prepared.

Fair warning, Dirkdragonslayer: It's a rare spell.

This isn't a spell but a gadget, but can we talk about the Maelstromic Destabilizer?
consumable item that grants the user a resistance to spirit damage while imposing a WEAKNESS to spirit damage on any creature within 10 ft (no save). You get an inventor who can pop one of these out each day and give it to an Exemplar... that's pretty nasty.

The Maelstromic Destabilizer sounds so gnarly, and I enjoy that, but the whimsy in me is particularly fond of Prankster's Perpetual Pieplate.

Annunciation of the Outer Gate is a spell I'm a huge fan of as a lover of all things occult. It's just got some amazing flavour going for it. Otherwise, I've been using Pocket Library a lot since it was printed in Secrets of Magic. I'm quite sad it's suddenly Rare!

[Old_Man_Robot]

I’m really hoping that rare pocket library is a mistake.

It’s a solid utilitarian spell that has a lot of flavour. I’ve been having characters cast it since the spell came out.

I don’t see any reason it should suddenly be rare.
