When you release a spell you’ve prepared, roll+INT. • On a 10+ the the spell is successfully cast and you may cast the spell again later. • On a 7-9 the spell is cast, but choose one:

• You draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot. The GM will tell you how.
• The spell disturbs the fabric of reality as it is cast; take -1 ongoing to cast a spell until the next time you Prepare Spells.
• After it is cast, the spell is forgotten. You cannot cast the spell again until you prepare spells.

When you spend uninterrupted time (an hour or so) in quiet contemplation of your spellbook, you:

• Lose any spells you already prepared
• Prepare new spells chosen from your spellbook whose total levels don’t exceed your own level +1
• Prepare your cantrips which never count against your limit

You have mastered several spells and inscribed them in your spellbook. You start out with three first level spells, as well as all your cantrips. Whenever you gain a level, you inscribe a new spell of your level or lower. Your spellbook is 1 weight

You may end any ongoing spell immediately and use the energy of its dissipation to deflect an oncoming attack. The spell ends and you subtract its level from the damage done to you.
