description: Allows caster to attune his Tarot Sword to any being with whom the caster is familiar, or has had described to him in detail. The caster must hold the sword in his hand; if the being comes within 100' of the blade during the spell's duration (regardless of whether the being can be seen or not), the sword will give a strong ‘tug' on the caster's hand. If the caster releases the sword, it will attempt to reach the being and attack it (use caster's OB). The sword cannot travel through walls or other objects, but it will seek out openings which allow it to reach its target. The sword will act intelligently, attempting to ambush its target if possible. The caster need not see the sword in order for it to attack, but he must be within 100' of the sword. After making one attack, whether or not the attack is successful, the sword will return to the caster.

ROAD OF LIFE		list name:
Sword Magic		level:

F		duration:
permanent		range:
area of effect:
—		sourcebook:
rolemaster companion 7
description: This spell, along with the Road of Life spells on the Rod, Cup, and Pentacle Magic lists, allows the caster to create a "Tarot of Many Teachings" (see item description elsewhere) from his Tarot deck. A full 78-card deck is required. Each of the four Road of Life spells must be cast on the deck each day beginning at full moon and ending the day of the next full moon (requires 2 hours per spell cast, or 8 hours total per day). The caster's four symbol objects must always be close at hand while casting each Road of Life spell. Missing a day means that the caster must begin the casting process over again, and requires the caster to roll a D100 - SD modifier + 3% per days invested in casting the Road of Life spell. If the result of the roll is over 100, then 5-50 cards of the caster's deck were destroyed and must be re-created before beginning again. After successfully enchanting the deck for the indicated number of days, the caster must perform a 50th level Alchemical Ritual, during which he must sacrifice his four symbol objects (rod, cup, sword, and pentacle). The sacrifice of these objects adds +10% each (+40% total) to the chance of the ritual's success (as "Other Influencing Factors"). If the ritual is successful, the Tarot deck is transformed into a "Tarot of Many Teachings," but the caster has no control over the specific effects of each card. New symbol objects may be built using normal guidelines to replace those destroyed during the ritual. Major and Minor Arcana Magic spells cannot be cast using a deck transformed into a "Tarot of Many Teachings," but a new deck may be constructed.
