Description
Spell effects may be used on the spellcaster himself or on a person or
object the spellcaster is in contact with.
Projecting spells up to a maximum of 15 feet.
Projecting spells up to a maximum of 80 feet.
Projecting spells up to a maximum of 300 feet.
Projecting spells up to a maximum of 800 feet.
Projecting spells up to a maximum of 1500 feet.
This allows the spellcaster to hit targets out of direct eyesight if he has
perfectly determined their exact location. Some sort of supernatural
detection that will reveal the exact location is needed(e.g. a Spy of Light
spell). Coverage is 3000 feet.
This allows the caster to affect targets not within sight of the sorcerer with
only an approximate notion of their location. For instance, if the spellcaster
knows that his target is located in a house, he would be able to target the
spell even though he mat not know the precise address. Distance should
not exceed three miles.
