Spellrunes: Homebrew Spell Mods

image credit: Zoltan Boros and Gabor Szikszai

Spellrunes are learnable spells that can enhance other spells! These are sort of a seamless integration of Metamagic Feats with a bit of a mood overhaul. I would recommend testing these out a bit before solidifying them in a game because they can have some potentially awesome effects.

To learn a Spellrune, you must learn the spellrune whenever you learn a new spell or learn one in place of a feat/ability score increase. To use a spellrune, expend the appropriate spell slot for the spell you wish to modify (the base spell) and a spell slot for all spellrunes you wish to apply to the base spell. No more than 9 total spell slot levels can be used for any one spell. Then, the casting time is increased by the number of actions required by all of the spellrunes being used.

For example: you want to modify a Fireball spell (3rd level) with an Energy Alteration Spellrune (1st level) and a Fantastic Spellrune (1st level). The spell costs a 5th level spell slot by adding all of these spell levels together. A Fireball normally costs 1 action to cast, but the Energy Alteration Spellrune costs 1 bonus action and the Fantastic Spellrune costs 1 action. Therefore the final spell will take two actions and one bonus action to cast; or two turns (assuming the bonus action is paid for during one of them). The end result is your half-cold damage half-fire damage fireball that inspires your allies!

Spell Level: The effective spell level of the spellrune. Remember, all base spell and spellrune spell slots added together cannot exceed 9.

Casting Time: Each modifier spell has a casting time that is added on to the original spell's casting time. Some modifier spells have a casting time of 1 bonus action. This usually means that a 1-action spell will also take up a spellcaster's bonus action. For base spells that normally already take one bonus action to cast, you may instead take up your action, allowing it to be cast in the same turn.

Requirements: Most modifier spells have requirements for the base spell where it makes sense.

1st-Level Spellrunes

Charming Spellrune

Spell Level: Consumes a 1st level spell slot.

Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action.

Requirements: A base spell that has a visual component or visual effect when cast.

This spell causes all creatures within 30 ft. of the spell that can see it to make a WIS saving throw or become charmed by the caster for 1 minute. Each creature can make a new saving throw at the start of its turn to end the effect. The base spell's school becomes enchantment in addition to its other schools.

Dark Spellrune

Spell Level: Consumes a 1st level spell slot.

Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action.

Requirements: A base spell with an area of effect, such as a burst, sphere, cone, line, or cube

Leaves a shadowy afterimage of the spell's area. For up to 1 minute, the area of the spell is treated as magical darkness as per the Darkness spell. The base spell's school becomes necromancy in addition to its other schools.

Deceptive Spellrune

Spell Level: Consumes a 1st-level spell slot.

Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action

Requirements: A base spell that has a visual or auditory effect

Your spell originates from a different location. For instance, a ray that normally comes from your finger could now come from a nearby statue. The base spell's school becomes illusion in addition to its other schools.

Energy Alteration Spellrune

Spell Level: Consumes a 1st level spell slot.

Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action.

Requirements: A base spell that deals damage.

Add one damage die to the damage of the base spell, then you may change any number of damage dice of the base spell to a single damage type of your choice. You may change all of them or only some of them, if you wish. For instance, you can change half of a fireball's damage to cold damage. However, you cannot change the dice to more than one damage type. So you couldn't change some of a fireball's damage to cold, then some to necrotic, and some to psychic. This would require multiple instances of this spellrune.

Enervating Spellrune

Spell Level: Consumes a 1st-level spell slot.

Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action

Requirements: Any spell that affects at least one living creature.

Your spell weakens living creatures that it affects. Creatures affected by the base spell must make a CON saving throw or gain one level of exhaustion. The base spell's school becomes necromancy in addition to its other schools.

Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action

Creatures damaged by the base spell are pushed to the closest space outside the spell's area. If no space is available, a creature is pushed as far as possible to the outside of the spell's area as possible. Pushed creatures take an extra 1d10 bludgeoning damage. For each spell slot above 1st, the damage increases by 1d10.

Fantastic Spellrune

Spell Level: Consumes a 1st level spell slot.

Casting Time: 1 Action.

Requirements: A base spell that has a visual component or visual effect when cast.

Use either a Water Elemental, Fire Elemental, Stone Elemental, or Air Elemental for the living spell's statistics. The DM may alter the statistics of an elemental to make the living spell seem more like the base spell, for instance, having a fire elemental deal lightning damage instead of fire if it represents a living Lightning Bolt spell. The living spell obeys your mental commands as long as you can see it. If it receives no commands it will defend itself until it is destroyed or until 1 hour has passed. When the duration of the living spell ends, or the living spell is destroyed, or the living spell is dismissed by the caster using a bonus action, the base spell is cast at the location of the living spell in the direction (if applicable) of the caster's choice. The base spell's school becomes conjuration in addition to its other schools.

Weekly Update - Spelltechtastic Skins, Boos Proofs, and Trials

Read the Update on Kickstarter: CLICK HERE

Hey, everyone! It's me, again, with another update! Let's stop the dilly-dallying and head onto the update, shall we?

Spelltechtastic Skins!

We start this update with a backer skin for one of my favorite characters: Clinhyde

This costume holds a somewhat special place in my heart because it's mine! Well, technically, it's not, but the backer who got this costume wrote something akin to "whatever Marco wants". I was, honestly, extremely honored and I am thankful that I'm able to bring a skin I've had in mind to life. Spellrune Clinhyde takes Clinhyde and makes him more of a "magic ninja" than a cyber one! Rather than stims, Clinhyde now makes use of magical runes that are seared into his skin, which still gives him the "power at a cost" feel. I hope you enjoy it!

Here's Runika's Master costume! This artificer has gotten a few upgrades by going up from one Battlefist to two! It's always fun to explore what our characters would be like a few years down the line. It makes them feel more alive; like there's a living, breathing character outside the game they're in!

Boss Proofs

Boss proofreading is done! It was definitely challenging, but we got through it. I want to go over a few of the cards that presented unique templating challenges and what they taught me.

Burman's Volcanic Breath showed me just how devious some templating errors can be! It was originally printed as "Push 1-7, as far as possible". As you can see, that 1 should be a 0. It's such a tiny detail, but it matters for keeping things relevant.

Havoc's Surging Tide showed me that something can be technically correct, but possible to improve. It's Break trigger used to be "bundled in" with the first Whenever effect. While not technically wrong, separating them makes the card easier to understand.

Magdelina's Fetch taught me that there are things I take for granted. The big change here was the reminder text. A Spirit's attack must resolve in Priority Order, but not if that Priority has already passed. That means that, if a Spirit' attack goes live at Priority 3, but the attack itself is Priority 5, it won't attack this beat. This seemed obvious to me, but it's not obvious to everyone! We erred on the side of caution and added the reminder text!

Finally, Udstad's Dragon Breaker taught me that I have to make big changes when needed. Originally, Udstad's attacks had Stun immunity, which is a mechanic that regular fighters use. Ideally, we wanted to keep the mechanic on the bosses, so that players could use knowledge form the base game in boss mode. However, we got to a point where the boss' version of Stun Immunity had so many minute rulings changes that it was, for all intents and purposes, just a different mechanic! Thus, Unbreakable was born!

Hopefully this small look into the proofreading provides you some insight into what kind of things we think about when making the game for you! :)

What's Left?

I've sent the boss mode text over to Brad so that he can implement them into the graphic design of the rulebook. We don't have the design for you yet, but I'll update you when it happens!

As some people have pointed out, there have been some delays in my updates, such as the boss rulebook. I addressed these in the comments last update but I want to reiterate that we're working in parallel on a lot of components of the project and that slight delays in some things don't necessarily mean large delays down the line. So, even if the boss rulebook is still being made, testing on other sets of characters are proceeding as planned! :)

Speaking of sets. . .

What's Happening?

To better address and present these steps to you, I've decided to split the "What's Next" section into "What's Happening" and "What's Due". What's Happening should list down things we plan to start this week. What's Due should list down the things that are, well, due, by the time we release the next update!

For this week, we're starting on:

Trials Playtesting

Trials Proofreading

Getting Devastation Press-Ready (by making the printable files for our press partners)

Getting Solo Fighters Press-Ready

What's Due?

The following should be done by next update:

Getting Devastation Press-Ready

Getting Solo Fighters Press-Read

Young Kajia Skin

Dread Spirit Rexan

Final Words

Thank you for reading my update, everyone! We're making steady progress and Trials is actually just about to wrap up playtesting, so we're keeping on schedule!

As usual, don't hesitate to ask me questions about the project. I answer every single one! Happy gaming, everyone and don't forget your Special Actions. Thank you, World of Indines. Thank you and good night!

We'd like to introduce HN to Spell, which is a tool for easily running ML/DL jobs remotely. As Deep Learning has grown we see engineers and researchers struggle to incorporate running on GPUs into their workflow. So we built Spell to be the easiest way to get code running elsewhere - like the bash '&' operator but for remote machines.

Sign up for an account at https://web.spell.run/waitlist, which includes $300 in credits for GPU time. There's a waitlist, but we'll be approving accounts as they come in.

Here are some of the features we really wanted and built into Spell:

1) We don't want you to have to modify your code for it to run remotely. Particularly so it's easy to clone something off github and run it with one command

2) Waiting for data to upload/move is one of the biggest time costs. So we built a single remote filesystem so you only need to upload data once. It's also a simple interface that everyone already understands

3) Tools should be highly efficient and reliable. Machine learning needs more tools that are sturdy enough to use everyday and build whole pipelines around. So we spent a lot of time making sure our infrastructure is solid

There's plenty of documentation (https://www.spell.run/docs), including a 30 second quick start and guides for running some common models. We also wrote a series of medium posts (https://medium.com/@spellrun) where we reproduce as much of the work presented at ICLR as possible with a few commands.

Thanks for reading. Questions/feedback welcome!

Weekly Update - Super Surfin' Art and Proofreading Updates

Check out the update on Kickstarter: CLICK HERE

Hello and welcome to the new BattleCON Unleashed update! We're making great strides in terms of art and proofreading! As usual, it's me, Marco, and I'm here to give you the low-down and up-high on what's happening with the project.

Super Surfin' Art!

In case you didn't already see it, let's start with the superior warrior race!

The Awesome Level of this art is OVER 99! The Super Sorceran herself finally makes an appearance! Kimbhe has always had a penchant for earth-shattering attacks and huge beams of energy. It was definitely a good fit!

Sun's out; boards out! While Cesar might have an Endless Vigil, he is, sometimes, forced to take time off by GOING TO THE BEACH! Surf's Up Cesar started out as a fun gag in the community and now, it's canon (sort of)! We hope you enjoy seeing this serious boy in a not so serious situation!

It was, of course, a pleasure to work with the amazing Nokomento to bring these community ideas to life! Great job!

Proofreads

I've mostly addressed/finished a lot of the proofreads. In fact, I probably only need to proofread 1 more character (Victor) and the Solo Fighters will be done! It has been a long journey and I'm glad to be finishing these up. Now, onto the OTHER 3 SETS OF FIGHTERS!

P.S. To hopefully show it off, I made these cards a BIT bigger than last time, to show the white outlines and show that they're more readable when they're actually bigger. I'll be honest and say that I tried going through everything and fixing the kerning, but there was no one rule that I could apply to do it uniformly across all the cards. The lowercase "i" was interacting weirdly depending on which letters appeared before AND after it. I've decided to just leave it as it used to be for now, seeing as they were good enough to be printed this way the first time. Apologies, friends. I tried!

What's Left?

As you can tell, the Boss Mode book is still not finished. I apologize for that. We're currently a bit understaffed as Josh and Jackie are in Japan for work. I have some graphic design experience, but I'm no expert, so I haven't been able to push forward without help. I will, however, give you all a small preview of the text.

I know it doesn't look like much right now, but I promise it'll look awesome once it's in context! Also, yes, that is on Notepad. My programmer side is showing, a bit. :P

What's Next?

As usual, I'll carry over any unfinished tasks into the next week. Here's what I hope to show you by then!

Boss Book Graphic Design

Final Boss Proofreading

Spellrune Clinhyde Art

Master Costume Runika Art

Final Words

I hope you're as excited for these updates as I am! Working on this project has taught me a lot and I'm always happy to show you all the progress we're making. If you have any questions, shoot them over in the comments, and I'll answer them ASAP!

Thanks for reading my update. Don't forget your Special Action and thank you, World of Indines. Thank you and good night!
