Here’s another installment of my short poems mages and clerics can utter while casting spells, this time of the third level.
Clairvoyance
Precise direction and distance,
Over which my mind's arrow flies.
Vision reaches across expanse
To view the world through other's eyes.
Darkvision
Without the aid of any light
My eyes perceive the size and shape
Of forms that lurk in ebon night.
Beneath my gaze, let none escape.
Dispel Magic
Like weathered stone, like heavy rain,
Like ancient tree in forest felled,
End effects, so that none remain.
Let now this magic be dispelled!
Fireball
Where first there's smoke, soon is fire,
The element that consumes all.
My hand directs a threat most dire.
Emerge, explode and burn, fireball.
Fly
Without aid of avian wing
I drift into the azure sky.
Worry not. No chance of falling.
Where once I walked, I now can fly.
Haste
Quicken now each chosen being,
Powered by arcane promotion.
Strike twice swift. Let haste be freeing.
Double speed in fight and motion.
Hold Person
Hold in place. You've no defender.
My will is force, which I will prove.
Though mind is awake, surrender.
Limbs, be stiff, unable to move.
Invisibility 10′ radius
Descend yon darkened veil upon
Searching eyes now clouded, unclear.
Night's ebon womb expands anon.
Let all within her disappear.
Lightning Bolt
Spark now flies from finger’s guiding,
Stretch and burst in lightning’s flashing,
Blast through foes with thunder’s riding,
Rend the air with power crashing.
Protection from Evil 10’ radius
Raise a veil of magic flowing.
Thwart the claws of evil pressing.
Steel our forms, their power slowing.
Circle holds, our will professing.
Protection from Normal Missiles
Ward my form from arrows flying.
Block the sting of bullets darting.
Turn aside all blades defying.
Missiles fall, their force departing.
Slow
Languish now each chosen being.
Halve their pace in fight and striding.
Strike but once where two were springing.
Time drags slow in dull abiding.
Water Breathing
Grant us gills, through water gliding.
Breathe as fish in depths unending.
Touch each soul, the gift dividing.
Air and sea, our lungs befriending.
The clerical spells follow.
Bestow Curse
By shadows deep, and ancient dread,
Your actions halt. Your true self dies.
Your strength fails. Your spirit, now bled,
By twisted fate, and whispered lies.
Cause Blindness
Let shadows fall, a world made dim.
The light denied, your vision lost.
No sight remains, on any whim,
By my lord's hand, a heavy cost.
Cause Disease
By tainted breath and sickness deep,
Your strength decays, your movements slow.
No healing comes, your secrets keep,
Till shadowed death, begins to grow.
Continual Darkness
Cast out light with god’s dark willing,
Shadow reigns, all brightness fading,
Holy void, a year fulfilling,
Blind the sight with gloom pervading.
Continual Light
Call forth light by god’s own shining.
Radiance spreads, dark defying.
Holy glow, a year aligning.
Bless the world with grace undying.
Cure Blindness
The darkened veil, I now dispel.
Let sight return, a world made clear.
No shadows hold, no magic fell,
But light reborn, and vision's cheer.
Cure Disease
The creeping rot, the fever's sting,
The hidden plague, the parasite's hold,
I banish now, on angel's wing.
Let health return, precious as gold.
Growth of Animals
By ancient root, and verdant might,
Let beast expand, with doubled frame.
Its strength increased, in sudden flight,
A titan's form, a wilder game.
Locate Object
By divine thread, and seeking gaze,
The hidden thing, I now pursue.
Through winding paths, and shadowed maze,
Its distant form, I bring to view.
Remove Curse
Break the chains with power holy.
Curses lift from flesh abiding.
Spirit cleaned by divine solely.
Untie binds with grace providing.
Speak with Dead
With sacred words, and hallowed rite,
Dead lips shall speak, a moment's grace.
The soul's last echo, brought to light,
Then silence falls, in death's embrace.
Striking
By sacred force, and righteous blow,
Let weapon strike, with added might.
A potent edge, where shadows grow,
And magic's strength, defeats the night.
