Incantations?

[Ciaran]

I like the idea of Incantations as presented in Unearthed Arcana; ritual spells that can be cast by non-spellcasters should fit well in my campaign. But are there any sources for incantations other than UA? Other WotC books, fansites, etc? I'd rather not do all of the design work myself!

Cir,

I think there's a website but you might want to try googling for it first.

We did up a new incantation in Template Booster 01. This incantation is used to torture "good" magical beasts and drive them to insanity. This allows them to acquire the Blasphemous Terror template from Silverthorne's Template Trove #2

I love incantations and hope we will get a chance to do more development on them.

That thread has a some new incantations that might be worth checking out.

I think that the Modern SRD also has a few too. You should check them.

I did one, pre-crash, allowing low level kobolds to summon an Aspect of Tiamat, which beats the 7th level Races of the Dragon spell to summon an Aspect of Bahamut -- easily converted to Tiamat, of course -- since it's intended to be the big doomsday threat in my currently low level campaign. I can repost it if you're interested.

Go for it Whizzy! I'd love to see it again.

Bardic Lore: Pneumaphagoi has one for trapping ghosts, but your best bet is the aforementioned Modern SRD or Urban Arcana where they originally appeared.

I also really like the incantation rules. One if the verisimilitude problems I've always had with D&D magic is that it's almost entirely combat centered. It's as though modern technology included SAMs and cluster bombs but we still hadn't worked out the chimmney or woven cloth. But that can be explained away with incantations. Then run of the mill, everyday utility magic is an incantation and wizards practice battle magic. I've been toying with the idea of adapting the spell list from World Tree into incantations, since that's the most comprehensive list of daily utility spells I'm familiar with.
