Lords of Blastings, Part II

Additional Blasting Results

There's more than one way to smite one's enemies.

Using a Higher Level Spell

As alluded to in Part I, the Blasting spell's level can also be increased beyond 1st. Doing so can compound the range, damage, or individuals affected for each level its raised.

For example, making its range 120', targeting 2 individuals in range instead of one, or adding 1d6 to the damage would make Blasting a 2nd level spell. Compounding two of those three options would make it a 3rd level spell.

Blessing & Curse Tests

What one asks for may not be all that's provided.

1-4. The Bestow Blessing & Curse spell will be barred from the petitioner for the next 1d3 days. Similar spells may still work (a 66% chance), though they remain subject to their own divine tests.

5-12. Forsooth, the next blessing or curse the petitioner casts is reversed. A target intended blessed is now cursed with the opposite effect. Vice versa for the one to be so cursed. Boon and bane shift by the judgment of the gods.

Additional Blessing & Curse Results
Whether via divine test or the Bestow Blessing & Curse spell, divinities and cults can make their pleasure (and displeasure) known.

Specifically for the Blessing & Curse spell, once what occurs has been determined and if the Magical Side-Effect allows (see Part I), the caster can then select what specifics happen. He may experience unique effects via his lord too if a result of 'other' occurs. See below.

Using a Higher Level Spell

As mentioned before, the spell's level can be increased beyond 1st no matter what the initial result of the Blessing & Curse spell is. Doing so can boost its range, allow additional effects to occur, allow more individuals to be affected, or increase the duration of the effects. With the Referee's permission, a prepared higher level spell can then be considered expended instead when Bestow Blessing & Curse is cast to cause a higher level effect. Even in these cases, Bestow Blessing & Curse would still be prepared as a 1st level spell.
