spell name: DEEP ANCHOR 1	list name: charmcraft	level: 13	realm: essence	type: wizard base	spell class: f	duration: varies	range: touch	area of effect: 1 item	sourcebook: rolemaster companion 5
description: When this spell is cast on an item's matrix before a Charm spell is cast the matrix gains the ability to remain in the item it has been anchored to after its associated Charm has faded. An impression of the Charm is retained by the empty matrix, so that it will slowly regenerate the exact Charm that it held. When dispelled, a Charm that possesses Deep Anchor 1 will reset itself after one week. Every time a Charm is regenerated through the Deep Anchor effect it loses 50% of its RR attack strength level (the level of its creator), rounding down. When it reaches a RR attack strength level of 1, the Deep Anchor effect fades and the Charm will dispel after its next blocking attempt. (E.g., a Charm X with a Deep Anchor 1 effect that is created by a 20th level caster will take 1 week to regenerate the first time it is dispelled, after which it will gave a RR attack strength level of level 10; the next regeneration will leave it at level 5; the next at level 2; the last regeneration will reduce it to a Ievel 1 attack strength one-shot Charm.) After a Deep Anchored Charm regenerates for the first time, the matrix becomes unstable so that the Charm will dispel each time it is activated in an attempt to block a spell, even if it succeeds in turning the spell away. (So Deep Anchored Charms are much weaker than standard Charms once they regenerate after their first failure.) Deep Anchor may not be added to an a matrix that will also possess Layered Charm.

spell name: LAYERED CHARM	list name: charmcraft	level: 19	realm: essence	type: wizard base	spell class: f	duration: varies	range: touch	area of effect: 1 item	sourcebook: rolemaster companion 5
description: When this spell is cast on an item's matrix, the next Charm spell inscribed will gain the ability to sustain two failures before fading out. If a Layered Charm fails to cancel an attacking spell, only the first layer is shattered. The second layer of protection will then activate immediately so that the spell must make a second RR within that round before having a chance to reach its target. If it also succeeds in the second RR, the Charm is then shattered, but if the spell fails the RR the single remaining layer will be retained and will act as a standard (one-failure) Charm until dispelled normally. Two Layered Charms against the same spell may not be combined in any way; the maximum number of extra RRs that a target may gain by the use of Charms is two (plus the target's normal RR if all Charm-interposed RRs fail to stop the attacking spell).

spell name: ESSENCE CHARM	list name: charmcraft	level: 30	realm: essence	type: wizard base	spell class: f	duration: varies	range: touch	area of effect: 1 item	sourcebook: rolemaster companion 5
description: This spell creates a Charm that will guard against any twentieth or lower level spell of the Essence realm that is cast at the bearer or item (but still restricted to the types of spells that a Charm may guard against-that is, no Elemental Attack spells). This type of Charm may not be enhanced by a Layered Charm or Multiple Charms effect, although it may be inscribed on a matrix that possesses Deep Anchor.
