====== Spell List ======

===== How Spells are Cast =====

Spells are cast by:
  - Saying the __//spell descriptor//__, which is the name of the spell and a description of its effects and duration.
  - Doing one of the following:
    * Throwing a //spell packet// at the target or target location.
    * Touching the (willing) target with a //spell packet//.
    * Touching the (willing or unwilling) target with a wand or staff.
    * Saying "//By my voice...//" for an area of effect (AoE) spell surrounding the caster.
    * Saying "//Mass...//" for a mass spell that affects everyone in the scene.

===== Spell Effects =====

Unless otherwise specified,

  * Spells that negate or cancel other spell effects cause the original spell to cease, at which point both spells end.
  * Spells that affect the behavior of another creature last for 1 minute unless otherwise specified, or until negated.
  * The effects of damage or healing spells are immediate, at which point the spell ends but the damage or healing remains.

Ideas:

  * mirage (illusion) (how would this work?)
  * delayed action
  * thorns (like D&D ranger spell)
  * summon angel (i.e., not undead)
  * mana limit
  * teleport (self)
  * teleport item
  * portal
  * increase gravity (on an item)
  * repel/forced movement
