spell user's companion
description: Allows caster to store mental patterns for use with spells on this list. Target does get a RR versus this spell. Anyone who has been Pattern Stored then blocked, through any of the Barrier spells, will find it more difficult to save vs the barrier, e.g., RR attack levels for the affected Barriers are x2. For example, Yasin Thatchbane, previously Pattern Stored, has a Sense Barrier cast on him by a 10th level mage. He must save (vs 20th Ivl attack) or lose the use of one or more of his senses. Interesting note; If Yasin were blocked as above and were to try to cast Barrier Destruction to rid himself of it, the Barrier's effective RR level would start at 40th level.

description: Caster seals an area vs. thought. If the seal is internal then anyone within it will be unconcerned with anything outside of the area of effect. For example, a Demon Beyond the Pale fails his RR and is trapped within the area of effect of an internally focused Thought Barrier. The demon may think of anything on the inside of the barrier, including past memories, his physical form, and any other spells and knowledge. He could not, however, think of anything that was outside the barrier and totally uninvolved with himself, for example he could not think about the person about to attack him, nor about the stampede about to overrun him, etc. It would be easy for him to escape (teleport/gate/long door etc.), unless other barrier spells were cast. Likewise, an externally focused thought barrier would cause anyone observing the sphere (and failing his RR) to ignore it completely. This extends to unknowingly doing things to allow them to ignore it, e.g., walking across the street to go around it etc.

description: Caster seals an area vs. any form of death e.g., what once was, but now is, no longer living such as undead, arrow shafts (nonliving), staves (nonliving), leather items (nonliving) etc. Anything that was once alive but is now dead is prevented from passing through the barrier. Example: A group of spell-casters is in combat with an undead legion. A Magician casts a Death Barrier spell (mobile and with internal and external influence) As the Undead are unable to penetrate the barrier, they begin throwing stones. One of the mages is killed instantly by a stone. As the mages are forced back, the area of the mobile Death Barrier moves with them. The dead mage's body is dragged along, within the radius of the spell.

description: Caster places this spell upon a dead body to prevent the healing of the body and return of its soul. For a body to be repaired and life restored the Barrier must be successfully destroyed. For example, an Assassin kills a target and wishes to ensure that his victim stays dead. So, he pays a mage to cast Revivification Barrier on the body. Thus if anyone were to attempt to revive the body they must break the Revivification Barrier, repair the body, then call back the soul. A pretty good insurance policy.

For example, Beau, a 25th level Telepath, begins psionically attacking a small group of adventurers led by Mallik, a 30th level Illusionist. After Mallik casts a Magic Barrier around his group, his friends keep falling to the strange mage's powers. Mallik tries a little known spell of his, Psion Barrier. Suddenly the effects stop, now it seem that nothing Beau does has any effect on the group. After a few more Psions Beau admits defeat and teleports away to pester someone else.

All, however, must be either mobile around a single point or stationary.
