new spells (metaspells)

[fabio milito pagliara]

the following spells are all of the Universal school, and metamagical
in nature they are spell that act on other spell; when in the spell
description I say 'at the cost of a spell slot in your memory' I
intend that such a spell will take a memory slot blocked until used,
dispelled or whatever ( e.g. a 5th level mage who cast Book Recall I
and Amorph Spell I can memorize only other 2 1st level spell untill he
use this spell)
the first two are needed to introduce the concept of freemagick to
those who don't like the point system introduced in spells and magick

Book Recall I-IX (there is a version of this spell for each level of
spell)
Duration: until used Casting time: 1rnd x page to review
ST: none AoE:self
range: self Compo: V,S

Description: this spell make you able to keep in memory at the cost of
a spell slot in your memory, the formula that you where able to review
when you casted the spell ( to do this you must have access to your
books). Such ability make you able to memorize one of this spell
without using any of your books, or you can use it with the Amorph
Spell I-IX to follow

Amorph Spell I-IX (there is a version of this spell for each level of
spell)
Duration: until used Casting time: 1 turn per level
ST: none AoE:self
range: self Compo: V,S

Description: this spell at the cost of a spell slot in your memory,
make you able to give it the form of another spell whenever you want,
but to do so you must have such a form at your hand so you can change
the amorph spell into another spell if
1) you have the other spell memorized (istantaneous and you can cast
it in the same round)
2) you have the other spell in the Book Memory (istantaneous and you
can cast it in the same round)
3) you have your books at hand (take a rnd if you have the book in
front of you)

the third metamagical spell is very useful and many may think too much
powerful, but I think it's not overly so (it is a watered down version
of the permanency spell)

Magician long lasting tools (4th level)
Duration: 1 week per level Casting time: 8 hours
ST: none AoE:self
range: self Compo: V,S

Description: such spell take the place of a 4th level spell, until
dispelled or it's duration expires, he can be dispelled at will by the
caster or by an highter level mage with dispel magic; this spell make
the personal spell from the Permanency (which the mage must know and
have memorized, and are cast during the 8 hours ct) last 1 week per
level of the mage, for each 4th level slot the mage can make long
lasting a number of spell levels equal to his level (e.g. a 7th level
mage can use is only 4th level slot to cast this spell and make up to
7 level of spell usable for 7 weeks, maybe read magic (1), detect
magic (1), comprehend languages (1), prot. f. evil (1) and prot. f. n.
missiles (3).

Steel Memory (5th level)
Duration: 1 day per level Casting time: 1 hour
ST: none AoE:self

Description: for the duration of the spell the mage don't have to fear
to lose his memorized spell if he go uncounscious, die and is brough
back to life, or any other accident that as a side effect would make
him forget his spell (so the glantrian spell which steal a spell would
work normally).

Double spell II (5th level)
Double spell III (7th level)
Double spell IV (9th level)

rnd two spell ut to the showed level (e.g. DS II can cast two spell of
