MAGIC IN THE WORLD OF OHR: HORROR & ELDRITCH MUTATIONS
Magic in the world of Ohr is gifted to the world by many sources, few of which are benevolent. All Magic in the world of Ohr is tainted by Dark Gods and Beings.
When a Character casts a 1st level spell or higher, they must make a Spell-casting Check equal to the Level of the Spell +10. Cantrips do not require this check.
Spell-casting Check DC= 10+ Level of the Spell Cast.
If the Check passes, the spell is cast normally.
If the Spell-casting Check fails, the spell is cast, but is subject to an Eldritch Permutation, a warping of the spell by those who control magical energies.

MAGIC ITEMS IN THE WORLD OF OHR
Over the ages sorcerers, wizards and witches have created items of magic and power. Although some have been created for some benevolent purpose, most were created out of a need for power and dominance. The Ancient Ones of Ohr were capable of creating magical items that aided their peoples in the most mundane of tasks and also items that could shake the very foundation of the earth. The Ancients of old were known to have magical powers of such magnitude that they could travel to other worlds and planes of reality; still keeping their sanity intact. Others believe that the Ancient Ones were not of our world, hence their ability to do and see things that would drive normal men insane. The Atlanteans, the only remnant of a world that existed long before the current incarnation are removed from the Ancient Ones, yet still possess a great knowledge of things arcane. Their great cities and kingdoms once stretched across the known world and were largely held in check by their domination of others through the use of magic.
This age of man still possesses magic and those willing to use it. Items of magic are still created by those that have the power and knowledge to do so, however, those items of magic pale in comparison to the artifacts that were created by sorcerers of long ago. Through the Age of Prophecy and well into the Age of Mists magic also carries a stigma for being dangerous and eldritch in nature, even if there is a difference, at this point it's rarely indistinguishable and virtually all users of magic are met with fear and often times violence in the lands of the Ohr.

SPELL POINTS & SPELL POINT TABLE
|
The spell point system dramatically expands the versatility of a spell-caster. Since he’s no longer tied to using a specific number of spell slots, he can much more easily adapt to situations. In effect, spell points make all classes work more like the sorcerer, and make the sorcerer (or bard) work even more like the sorcerer. In general, spell-casters become more powerful—though they aren’t capable of casting any spell they couldn’t cast before, they are now capable of casting more high-level spells per day and more of whichever spells they need. If a 15th-level cleric needs to cast heal a dozen times during an adventure, he can do that (though not much else).
Cost of spells: Each spell cost 1 Spell Point based on the level that the spell is cast at. I.E. A 1st level spell cost 1 spell point to cast. Top Lethal/Nova: When a caster attempts to cast multiple spells of 5th level or higher one after another the cost for those spells are increased. This is to represent the exhaustive nature of casting magic in Ohr and the toll it takes on the caster. Keep in mind that it is cumulative! You can’t avoid the nova by simply casting a 9th level spell, casting a 1st, and then casting a 9th level spell again. The second 9th level spell will still be cast at an increased cost. Example: Wizard uses 9 spell points to cast a 9th level spell on his first turn - It costs 9 points to cast. Wizard attempts to cast a 7th level spell on his second turn, this comes at an increased cost of 2 points and 2 more points for every time after that. So instead of costing the normal 7 spell points, it would instead cost 9. Where as a 9th level spell would cost 11. If you attempt to cast ANOTHER spell above 6th level, the spell would cost an additional 4 points, so a 7th level spell would cost 11 and a 9th level spell would cost 13. |
