Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 6 Days of continuous ritual

Description: A forbidden ritual requiring an innocent sacrifice and a lethal poison. Passing a Save vs. Death transforms the caster into a deathless Lich anchored to a phylactery, while failure results in permanent death.
Incantation: Trwy'r gwaed hwn, rwy'n gwrthod y bedd. Boed i mi fod yn farw-fyw.

Name: Dragon’s Maw

Discipline: Hedge
Duration: 1 turn (10 minutes)
Range: 60’ Length, 10' width (orginating from the caster)
Description: The caster violently strikes the ground, channeling a massive surge of localized kinetic pressure. A jagged, bottomless fissure 10 feet wide rips open in a straight line extending up to 60 feet directly away from the caster.

• The Maw's Trap: Any standard, man-sized, or smaller creature caught in the path of the opening line must immediately make a Saving Throw vs. Wands to leap to safety.
  • Failure: The creature plummets 30 feet into the dark pit, taking 3d6 points of falling damage and landing prone.
  • Success: The creature successfully scrambles to the nearest safe edge of the fissure.
• Massive Creature Resistance:
  Enormous or long creatures (such as Ogres, Giants, or quadrupeds) gain a +4 bonus to their saving throw due to their size. Creatures wider than 10 feet (such as Dragons or Behemoths) cannot fall into the fissure; instead, a failed save simply knocks them prone on the edge.
• The Snap Shut: At the exact end of the 1-turn duration, the fissure slams shut with bone-shattering mechanical violence. Any creature, object, or piece of treasure still trapped inside the pit is instantly crushed, destroyed, and buried forever under solid earth.

Name: Eyes of the Dragon
Discipline: Hedge 
Duration: 3 rounds

Range: 60’
Description: The caster’s eyes become deep wells of nature’s grandeur and savage indifference. Once per round, by making a successful gaze attack (hitting the target’s base AC), the caster forces the victim to Save vs. Spells. On a failure, the victim is struck by a terrifying sense of their own insignificance. They fall into a catatonic state, unable to act or move for 1d6 rounds.

Name: Soul Cage (Ritual)
Discipline: Sorcery
Range: 10 feet
Duration: Permanent (Until shattered)
Casting Time: 6 Hours

Description: The Sorcerer fashions a vessel of dark magic, traditionally a hollowed human skull, to intercept a soul right as it exits the material world. The ritual must be performed beforehand to prep the vessel.

• Snaring the Spirit: If an intelligent creature dies within 10 feet of the prepped vessel, its soul is drawn inside, preventing the journey to the afterlife. The vessel glows with a faint, cold blue light.
• The Interrogation: Once per day, the Sorcerer can force the trapped soul to answer a single question. The spirit is magically compelled to answer with absolute truth, knowing everything it knew in life.
• The Consumption: The Sorcerer can break the cage to consume the soul's essence, instantly restoring all hit points and spent spell slots. Doing this entirely destroys the target's soul.

Name: Otherworld Portal (Ritual)
Discipline: Hedge
Range: 10 feet
Duration: 1 Turn (10 minutes)
Casting Time: 6 Hours

Description: The ultimate evolution of Traverse Hedge. The Mage performs a grand, echoing chant inside a sacred stone circle or deep ancient grove, physically piercing the veil between realms.

• The Gateway: A shimmering, mist-filled archway tears open, creating a physical door straight into the Otherworld where the spirits of ancient ancestors reside. Unlike Traverse Hedge, the Mage and up to 6 companions can physically walk through the portal into the afterlife with their bodies, items, and gear intact.
• The Sanctuary: While inside the Otherworld, time passes differently: a full day spent traversing the spectral forests or speaking with ancient spirits equates to only 1 hour passing in the mortal realm.
• The Risk: The gateway remains open for exactly 1 Turn of mortal time. If the party does not return through the mist before the duration expires, the portal snaps shut. They are permanently trapped in the realm of the dead unless they can find an ancient mythic path or a legendary entity willing to let them leave.

Name: Spectral Form
Discipline: Sorcery
Range: Self
Duration: 3 Turns (30 minutes)
Casting Time: 1 round

Description: The Sorcerer's physical flesh and gear temporarily dissolve into a cold, translucent mist, transforming them into a wandering wraith-like apparition.

• Ghostly Properties: While in spectral form, the caster can pass directly through solid wooden doors, iron bars, and non-magical walls at half their normal movement rate. They are completely immune to all non-magical weapon attacks, falling damage, and physical constraints.
• The Insubstantial Limit: The caster cannot physically touch or interact with the material world; they cannot pick up treasure, open chests, turn handles, or attack. They can still be harmed normally by magical weapons, spells, or iron wards.
• Incantation: Rhydd o'r cnawd, ynysig fel ysbryd.
  Phonetic: Hruth ohr knawd, uh-nus-ig vel us-brid.
  Translation: Free of the flesh, isolated like a spirit.

Name: Steal Body (Ritual)
Discipline: Sorcery
Range: 10 feet
Duration: Permanent (Until reversed or killed)
Casting Time: 6 Hours

Description: The Sorcerer forces their soul and mind into a bound target's body.  The target must pass a Save vs. Death to resist else their soul is swapped into the sorcerers former body, which then withers and dies. 
Incantation: Eich cnawd yw fy llong. Ewch i'r tywyllwch.

Name: Summon Nature's Avatar (Ritual)
Discipline: Hedge
Range: 60 feet
Casting Time: 6 Hours
Duration: 1 Turn (10 minutes) per level of the caster
