Introduction

The following magic spells were originally developed by the Lost Tribe Protoss, but can be taught to other magic users that are capable of learning new invocation spells, although this is rarely done. Also, just because these spells are available to the Lost Tribe Protoss, does not mean that all of them possess them, in fact very few Lost Tribe Protoss outside of the Dark Warriors and the Dark Templar bother to learn these offensive spells.

Maelstrom

• Level: Eight
• Range: 500' (152.4 m)
• Area of Effect: 15' (4.6 m) radius per level of experience
• Duration: 1 melee round per level of experience
• P.P.E.: 75
• Damage: 2D4x10 M.D. and +5 M.D. per level of experience. Damages all targets in the area of effect every melee round they remain in the area.
• Description: After centuries of trying, the Dark Templar were able to create a spell that was similar to the Protoss Psi-Storm psionic power. The new spell, Maelstrom, was more powerful, but it was also not as efficient as the psionic power it was based off of, and Maelstrom requires significant amounts of magical energy. The spell functions by sending out magical "ripples" that are disruptive to M.D.C. materials and these ripples are capable of literally tearing apart everything they touch.

Feedback

• Level: Nine
• Range: 10' (3.1 m) per level of experience
• Duration: Instant
• Damage: 1 point of damage for every five points of PPE and ISP possessed by the target, rounding all fractions down. The damage inflicted is S.D.C. for normal creatures and M.D. for supernatural creatures.
• Saving Throw: Standard. If successful, target only takes a quarter of the normal damage, rounding all fractions down.
• P.P.E.: 80
• Description: This spell causes the supernatural energy of the target to boil and burn the target, causing instant damage. The amount of damage taken by the target depends on how much combined ISP and PPE points they possess when this spell is cast upon them. In addition to the damage caused by the spell, the target will be dazed even if they made the saving throw. The target will be disoriented for 1D4 melees and will have a penalty of -1 to initiative and -5% to all skills. This spell does not drain the supernatural energy belonging to the host, it just forces the body to reject the energy temporarily.
