[QUOTE="John Q. Mayhem, post: 1962814, member: 13525"] 2 simple but flavorful Evoke Death spells that I made while converting a friend's warlock to EoM[R]. [i]Malchazar's dire clutch[/i] Exoke Death 3/Gen 0 Total MP: 3 Duration:1 minute* Range: Touch Area of Effect: one Life creature Save: None Spell Resistance: yes The fingers of your left hand lengthen and extend into claws, which you plunge into an adjacent creatures chest. This requires a touch attack and deals 4d6 points of Death damage. *If the attack fails, the spell can be held up to 10 rounds, or until you make a successful touch attack. Costs: 3 MP Evoke Death [i]Malchazar's gutwrench[/i] Exoke Death 1/Gen 1 Total MP: 2 Range: 30 ft. Area of Effect: one Life creature Save: Fort half Spell Resistance: yes You wrench the insides of a Life creature within 30 feet. This deals 2d6 points of Death damage, with a Fort save for half. Costs: 1 MP Evoke Death, 1 MP range [i]Black blade[/i] Create Shadow 3/Gen 0 Total MP: 3 Duration:1 minute You pull handfuls of dark matter out of your shadow, shaping it into a masterwork greatsword. This weapon deals elemental Shadow damage, with an additional 1d6 points of Shadow damage each hit. It lasts for one minute; at the end of this time it melts and seems to run like water down your body into your shadow. Costs: 2 MP elemental object, 1 MP elemental weapon [i]Orrin's singing blade[/i] Create Sound 1/Infuse Force 1/Gen 1 Total MP: 3 Duration:10 minutes Range: Touch Area of Effect: One weapon Save: None Spell Resistance: yes You sing softly to a weapon and make a mystic pass over it. For the duration, it hums and shivers slightly in your hand; the humming is barely discernable as the echoes of the song you sung it. It has a +1 enhancement bonus, and deals +1d6 points of Sound damage. A spell used often by my Exalten DMPC in my siblings game. The only way I could get his magic to deal damage :) Two not fully fleshed-out non-signature spells for the warlock mentioned above. [i]Dark Words of Meshuggah[/i] (Evoke Death 3) You whisper in someone’s ear for 2 full rounds. At the end of this time, they take 4d6 points of Death damage unless they make a successful Fortitude save, upon which they take half damage [i]Malchazar’s caress of fire[/i] (Evoke Fire 0) Over up to 10 rounds, you lightly touch an object or creature with your fingertips while whispering secret words. Every 2 rounds you do this the target takes 1d6 point of Fire damage. Carrying this out over the full 10 rounds uses up all of your free daily cantrips. If you use this on a creature, you will probably need to restrain it first. Otherwise it requires a touch attack every 2 rounds, and the creature gets a free attack on you every round. The [i]caress of fire[/i] is just a flavorful use of free cantrips. [/QUOTE]
