description: Caster is able to store the actual abilities of a drained item, e.g., the magical power or ability itself. This spell will allow caster to store one specific ability per casting, e.g., flying ability, +5 bonus, returning ability, etc. Caster has one storage 'slot' per level of experience. These stored abilities are vulnerable to dispel, anti-magic effects, etc. as if they were the actual item that the selected ability was drained from. A partial listing of the approximate value of varied abilities is as follows: Storage Slots Ability Necessary Notes +5 bonus 1 1 daily charge 1 spell level is irrelevant xl multiplier 1 +1 adder 1 each additional extra range, stat bonus, enchanted property 1 casting levels, etc. Weapon characteristics per 5 levels of effect* 1 Undead Slayer (20th)=4 slots * See Section 5.3 RMCI Example 1: A 10th level Alchemist drains a +60 Bastard Sword of Fire Dragon Slaying (with the Drain Item Spell). The Alchemist may choose to Intangible Store up to 10 abilities of an item, 10 +5sor4 +5s and the Dragon-Slaying ability (30th level effect = 6 slots). The rest of the item s powers are lost (+10 and Dragon-Slaying ability or +40 in the above choices). Example 2: A 10th level Alchemist drains a x5 Multiplier Ring that is only usable by Mentalists. The Alchemist may drain the item and hold all abilities (5 of them, one for each of the multipliers) in 'Intangible Storage , leaving 5 free spaces for other drained abilities. The drained multipliers are still only usable by Mentalists (if they are ever reintroduced to another item).

description: Caster drains, up to 1 charge per level, the daily uses of an item and converts them directly into PPs. The amount of PPs gained will depend upon the abilities drained, translating on a 1 point per 2 levels of ability (of the magical ability, not the spell caster) basis. The next day the item regains its abilities as if they had been expended normally. Example: A 5th level Alchemist who has 20 total power points, but is down to 8 PPs (4 after this spell is cast), casts this spell on a ring of flying (7th level Fly (Lofty Bridge) usable 5 times per day). The caster drains 4 uses of the fly spell (providing him with 14 PPs). If the caster drains too many PPs, and raises his total power points above their normal maximum, he will suffer burnout (see Channeling skill, Section 7.0 RMCII). The above caster could have drained 5 of the charges, but this would have caused burnout (4PP + 17.5PP (35I2)=21.5PP).

description: Caster is able to use up to 1 target per level as extra storage slots for the Intangible Storage spell. Caster is able to store the actual abilities of a drained item, e.g., the magical power or ability itself within the target. This spell will allow caster to store one specific ability per casting, e.g., flying ability, +5 bonus, returning ability, etc. Targets have one storage 'slot' per level of experience. These stored abilities are vulnerable to dispel, anti-magic effects, etc. as if they were the actual item that the selected ability was drained from. In order for the caster to gain access to the 'stored' powers, the target must be within 10'/lvl of the caster. The caster may have 1 target per level as extra storage. Targets may not “intangible store” any powers of their own.

' Assimilator' must make a RR versus the level of caster or have his 'Assimilative' spell automatically fail (requiring a roll on the Attack Spell Failure table). If the “Assimilator's” RR is successful, he then proceeds with his spell normally, and the Assimilative Trap is discharged. If the 'Assimilator' fails his save, he is affected as stated above and the Trap remains active.

description: Caster 'moves' the enchantment from one item to a different normal item. The caster must have sufficient 'slots' to encompass the entire amount of magical energy to be transferred. The 'old' magical item becomes non-magical and the 'new' magical remains magical for the duration of this spell. A magical item 'created' in this way may not be made permanent due to physical and magical incongruities between the old and new items. At the end of the duration, the temporary item loses its enchantment as well.

description: Caster 'absorbs' all magical energy from an item. Caster may use these powers once, as he desires, and they are then consumed. There is no limit to the amount of magical abilities, gained in this manner, that the caster may retain. These 'absorbed' abilities are not usable with other spells on this list, e.g., Assimilative Creation, Intangible Storage, etc. For example, a caster who drains a +20 sword of flying (allows flying 3x per day) would gain a +20 bonus that could be added to any one roll of the caster's choice as well as 3 'Flys' that he could also use as 3 separate Fly spells. Any item so drained is no longer magical.

description: Caster may weaken a magical item's bonus by up to -1 per level (assuming the item misses its save). For example, a 15th level caster casts this spell on a +20 sword, which misses it's RR, and alters it's bonus to +5 - The sword is now, forever, a +5 weapon. Unless the power is enhanced by the Enhance Power spell.

description: Caster physically absorbs a magical item into his body to gain the benefits of that item. For example, a caster absorbs armor (type 20) which gives him AT 20 skin. The caster could also absorb a +10 sword which would allow him a +10 sword-like hand attack. At the end of the duration the magical item returns to the place it was at the casting of this spell. The item must be magical to effect the change, normal or simply well-made items are not absorbable.

description: Caster may temporarily join two magical items into one whole (If they miss their RRs). If one item makes it's RR while the other item misses, then the item that missed it's RR will be destroyed (physically intact, but non-magical). The items must be compatible, e.g., a +20 sword and a magical set of lockpicks would be useless. The items are 'averaged' to gain the new item, e.g., a two-handed sword combined with a broad sword would produce a bastard sword. The magical bonuses of the two items are combined by adding the dominant magical item's bonus to half that of the lesser item. Example: A +20 broadsword is combined with a+10 dagger of Orc-Slaying. The dagger is dominant (+10 (bonus) +15 (Orc- Slaying)=25) broadsword = +20-The resultant item is a short sword, +20 (+10 (dagger) +20/2 (broadsword) = +20) that Slays Orcs. Alternatively, if the dagger had been only +0, then the broadsword would have been dominant, and the resultant weapon would have been a +20 (allfrom the broadsword) short sword of intermittent Orc Slaying (only slays orcs 50% of the time (half of the dagger ability)). Note: Ar the end of the duration, the items become separated and return to their normal status.

This may be done 'blind', e.g., without knowing the abilities of a 'Devoured' item, but caster is subject to burnout (see Channeling skill, Section 7.0 RMCII) if he gains more PPs than he could normally possess. Caster may convert an ability, which has been devoured into an amount of power points equal to 5 PPs per each +5 bonus, multiplier, adder, etc. converted.

description: Caster may drain the intellect of an intelligent item, gaining a bonus to the appropriate mental stat for the duration of this spell. If the caster casts another Assimilate Intellect while one is in effect, then the second one takes precedence over the first (displacing it). The caster gains the following amounts to each mental stat when he 'Assimilates' an intellect: +1 per point over caster's temporary stat and +1 per +25 points if caster has a higher temporary stat than the item does. For example, a caster (Pr:101 Em: 101 In: 100 SD:92 Re: 100) casts this spell on an intelligent item (Pr:55Em:102In:106SD:l 11 Re: 100) which fails it's RR. The caster's stats for the duration of this spell become (Pr:103 Em: 105 In: 106 SD:111 Re: 104). Note the Empathy bonus,+4 because this spell allows caster to gain the most advantageous bonus from the item (instead of gaining 1 because the item has 1 point more than the caster in RE).

description: Caster may 'add' one magical item's powers to another for the duration. Caster must have sufficient 'slots' available to Intangibly Store both item's magic. For example, a 50th level Alchemist (10 'slots') combines a +20 Sword of Warning (7 'slots') with a +3 adder ring (3 'slots'). The Alchemist may then place the combined magical energy into either the ring or the sword (the sword would probably be best). At the end of the duration the item that wasn't separated from its magic will remain enchanted while the other item loses it's potency.
