Västmark is a SWEDESIAN PEN & PAPER ROLEPLAYING GAME that is old as fuck. Also in Swedish so you better have Google Translate at the ready. I may or may not eventually try to make a poor attempt at GMing this. This thread is for me to store translated shit in.

Setting: Medieval Fantasy set around the time of Richard I the Lionheart, on a small imaginary island named 'Lyonia' somewhere near the British Isles or whatever. Involves Knights, Squires, Witches, Sidhe, Half-Fey Fluffy-Tailed People and BEARMANS or whatever. Check one of my albums for some art.

Touch of Lethargy
Tradition: Withcraft, Fey Magic
Cost: 1
Difficulty: 9 Base
Duration: Immediate
Range: Touch(-2)
Time to Cast: A round(+0)
Requirement: N/A
Effect: Causes 3 fatigue damage(+3)
Description: With but a touch the caster can inflict a sense of fatigue and exhaustion into someone. The effect isn't very powerful or long-lasting though, so the victim doesn't need long to recover.

Unseal the Seal (Example from book)
Tradition: Withcraft
Cost: 1
Difficulty: 5
Duration: Instantaneous
Reach: Touch/Personal
Time to cast: Action
Requirement: N/A
Effect: With this hex the wax-seal of a letter may be undone harmlessly, or sealed again without any signs of it ever having been opened.

Witchlight (Example from book)
Tradition: Withcraft
Cost: 1
Difficulty: 9
Duration: A guard(4 hours)
Reach: Personal/Near
Time to cast: A minute, Delayed(Round)
Requirement: Smokeshroom, strong alcohol and one of: lightworm or fireflies(ingredients), mortar & pestle, kettle(tools)
Effect: The ingredients are prepared into a fine powder and then is mixed with the alcohol that may be stored for later use. By pouring the mixture onto ones hand and blowing on it afterwards it ignites into a still, unnaturally orange, flame around the hand. The glow is about as strong as that of an ordinary torch. The fire is real and may harm or ignite materials or beings(counts as a Torch for damage purposes). The fire does not recquire concentration to uphold, and thus cannot be willed away. It can be put out by suffocating it with a blanket or dousing it in plain water.

Honed Senses (Example from book)
Tradition: Withcraft, Fey Magic, Alchemy
Cost: 2
Difficulty: 9
Duration: A guard(4 hours)
Reach: Personal/Personal
Time to cast: A minute, Delayed(Action)
Requirement: A small piece of the animal who's sense you want to hone
Effect: You gain a +4 bonus to a relevant ability/trait based on the animal the ingredient came from. IE a rabbitfoot for hearing, a piece of fur from a wolf for smelling, a hawk's feather for sight, a snake's tongue for tasting, or a cat's whiskers for sense of touch. Other examples include but are not limited to; a bat's ears for ecolocation, or a fly for increased reflexes.

Vanished tracks (Example from book)
Tradition: Withcraft, Fey Magic
Cost: 1
Difficulty: 8
Duration: A guard(4 hours)
Reach: Personal/Personal
Time to cast: A round
Requirement: N/A
Effect: This spell is useful for witches or fey that are being hunted or those that simply wish to get away without leaving a track. When used this spell erases almost all traces of their passing, including their scent, and prevents new ones from being made for the duration of it. Twigs that are stepped on do not snap or bend away harmlessly, grass simply rises back up as if untrodden, and bushes give way for the persons passing. Mechanically speaking, this spell gives any pursuers, be they man or beast, a -12 penalty to all Tracking rolls to find the user.

The Animal's Borrowed Tongue (Example from book)
Tradition: Witchcraft
Cost: 7
Difficulty: 10
Duration: Dusk/Dawn
Reach: Personal
Time to Cast: A minute
Requirement: A tongue from the kind of animal you want to speak with(ingredient)
Effect: After appropriate preparation(along with ritual) the witch swallows the tongue and gains the ability 'Speak with Animals +2' and the appropriate language skill +6 of the animal.

Cost: 1
Difficulty: 12
Duration: Instantaneous
Reach: Touch/Personal
Time to Cast: A round
Requirement: N/A
Effect: Removes the trait Pregnant of up to -2 - the fetus is later expelled in an unusually strong 'monthly bleeding'. No other side effects happens.
