Arcane Prime

Arcane Prime		Arcane Magic
This circle is available to Arcanist Mechanists, Channelers, Illusionists, and Wizards. The Arcane Prime spell circle encompasses all the basic precepts of the Arcane sphere. Generally prime lists have many simple spells that demonstrate the general rotes and rules of the sphere in question. Arcane Prime spells are divided up into two catagories: cantrips and rotes. Arcane Prime cantrips are smaller spells known particularly for flashier effects; while Arcane Prime rotes are simply minor spells which demonstrate Arcane concepts. Basic Arcane Prime spells may be learned from Chaemim in the Lyceum. Intermediate Arcane Prime spells may be learned from the arcane prime tome sold in the Lyceum.
Shortname	Name	Cost	Description
ap01	Arcane Twist	1	Basic offensive warding spell. You may charge this spell by adding a 1, 2 or 3 modifier when cast (e.g. cast <target> 3) to have it take additional roundtime and do more damage. You may specify the spell's element from the list available to you in abilities info. This spell's offensive and damage quality are improved by focus items.
ap02	Arcane Shock	1	The caster builds up the essence in his own body and then forcefully expels it towards his enemy, causing damage. This spell can be invested with extra effort by adding 1, 2 or 3 modifier when cast (e.g. cast <target> 3). Damage will scale accordingly, as will roundtime.
ap03	Motes Cantrip	3	Provides a magical bonus to a mental stat that scales with Reasoning, Sorcery, and focus item quality. You may specify the mental stat to receive the bonus. You cannot boost the same mental stat with another prime school stat bonus spell.
ap04	Lesser Instill	4	Slightly and temporarily improves the quality of an item, allowing the item to perform its purpose more effectively. The bonus scales with Reasoning and Sorcery, and caps at 800 Sorcery.
ap05	Rigid Essence	3	Instant-cast spell that allows the mage to disrupt the essence within the target, giving the target round time.
ap07	Arcane Mastery	6	The wizard traces a series of arcane symbols in the air and becomes more in touch with the arcane realm. There is an increase in the sorcery skill. The bonus scales with sorcery skill.
ap09	Elemental Protection	8	This rote is the manipulation of essence into a form that impedes the progression of centralized elemental substances within the barrier. Through essence-bending, or the localized and unstable formation of essence around the caster, an elemental substance such as fire is interfered and thus diminished, although not quite nullified. Unstable is key, for a stable shell of essence in the same form will allow incorporeal substances to pass freely. The amount of resistance scales with sorcery skill.
ap11	Force Field	11	This self-cast spell allows a mage to use his essence to build and maintain a wall that absorbs attacks. While it prevents critical wounds, the wall is not perfect and depends upon the mage's sorcery skill for its defensive capabilities. Provides a chance to block physical attacks and bolt spells and grants additional armor resistance against physical damage based on Reasoning and Sorcery. Armor too heavy for one's profession interferes with this effect. This is a primary defensive ability.
ap13	Create Glyph	4	Pure essence, without proper manipulation, is disruptive. If such unrefined essence is made to contact with certain materials — especially metals — on a certain fixed area, the create glyph cantrip will rearrange a tiny fraction of the surface of the substance in tune with the caster's personal essence flow. This coin-sized area on the object is known as a glyph, and is often used to show ownership. It is invisible to the naked eye; however, if the item upon which this spell is cast already has a glyph, this spell will reveal the glyph's ownership. With lengthy study in this circle, the glyph can remain permanent.
ap15	Dispel	7	Warding spell that removes spell effects from the targeted person, item, or room. This spell's offensive quality is improved by focus item quality.
ap17	Essence Field	12	This spell gives the wizard a stronger connection to the weave, allowing him to replenish his essence at a faster rate so as not to slow down his procedures and spells.
ap19	Lesser Equilibrium	4	This spell alters the flow of essence within the wizard, increasing its essence reserves. The spell's effect scales with sorcery skill.
