And soon you\u2019ll see
When life runs away
From you to me (Recite twice)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Into a spike that I have created
Cold and long and thin as a needle
Those who it pierces may call me evil
I hurl it downhill and watch as it strikes
A devastating weapon made completely of ice (Recite four times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
No longer does your shield
Resemble a sieve
I pound and I bend
So that you may defend (Recite four times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A clever ploy to make it stick
I know that it’s here
No it won’t hide from me (Recite four times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Too dark to see
I hope a Grue
Does not eat me (Recite twice)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 2 Mage Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A spell that makes you want to die
It hits you hard and hits you fast
And when it does you will not last (Recite four times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look me in the eyes and you shall see
I can hear your heart beating and see your pulse
So unless you are truthful you’ll soon be a corpse (Recite twice) <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A spell that makes you want to die
It hits you hard and hits you fast
And when it does you will not last (Recite four times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
With letters and words that are torn from a crypt
They’re easy to read once you know what you see
All you have to do is translate from one to three (Recite three times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 3 Mage Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
And feel the heat as it burns together
Flames lick far, and flames lick true
Because they’re ready to catch onto you (Recite four times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know I can’t hide
I just hope the lightning
Doesn’t fry my hide <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wind is blowing through my hair
I can hear the storm moving on in
If I’m to survive I’ll have to win <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lost and forgotten
Please help me to save
My darkly tanned bottom
Don’t let it crisp and don’t let it fry
Mostly though
Don’t let me die (Recite three times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A clever ploy to make it stick
I know that it’s here
No it won’t hide from me (Recite four times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 4 Mage Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The wind blows strong
My foes fear tells them
It won’t be long<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon to be loosed
As nature’s power hands me
A bolt to be used (Recite four times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ensure you don’t follow me when I retreat
You won’t need a pick to get through that door
Unless it’s made of magic you’ll stay way back there (Recite three times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
But against a blanket is made of might
Turn your shoulder, wrap it tight
That warmth will keep you safe at night <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the reach of the cold that wants to destroy you
Wrap up your faces, fingers and toes
Lest the ice take them and add to your woes (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 5 Mage Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Think that I’ll die
But you don’t see what’s happening
Or why I won’t cry
My gods have bestowed me
A gift that’s quite great
One that allows me
To truly negate (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
As ice comes in a vicious storm
It throws down spears and hail and rain
The ice so cold you forget your name
A storm of magic a storm of chill
A storm so dark none survive it still (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
But weren’t thinking of me and my magical fixes
A few words spoken, some finger wiggles
And that door opens no need to solve riddles (Recite three times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 6 Mage Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
But armor of a different kind than what I see on you
Its made of magic hard as a rock
So that all of the hits that would kill me will stop (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
And with my word I’ve come to seek
That you may fall and fail and wither
As your mind shrivels small around will you dither
You’ll forget about math and english and reading
Instead sit around even while bleeding
Failed and feeble will you lie
As you mind slips away with nary a cry (Recite four times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 7 Mage Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
against the specter of the night
Against your heat I seek to hide
I ask in humility free from pride
Save me from the flames and blight
Protect me until we reach dawn’s light
A cloak of magic, A cloak to cling,
A cloak from which we hide within
It spreads out wide and holds the flames back
That I not be injured by this magic attack (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
With feet large as trashcans, no time to wither
Being a giant requires a hand
So stand taller my friend in this strange land
The earth falls far away, your head now much taller
As your muscles grow stronger there’s no need to holler
Larger and stronger more ready to fight
Stretch out those limbs, twist them left and right (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It tells of the times of choice
Of what came earlier when I didn’t yet seek
What the tree saw, what the forest thinks
An item or artifact here in my hand
Will know tell me it’s secrets, or those of the land (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 8 Mage Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Becoming real while I stand
An orb of fire starts to peak
Betwixt my fingers as I seek
The wrath of gods
The wrath of man <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you look like, what you say
Burn you til you’re naught but ash
Forgotten faces won’t survive the blast (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that this charge will longer last
It lets me fight it makes you cry
And thus my enemies each can die <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So with it we may avoid a war of attrition
Imbue it with lightning, or ice or flame
Then may it attack, and wound and maim <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that their abilities might give you a terrible fright
Each one of them is different, but this spell is the same
I recharge these items and have none else to blame (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I leave my solid form behind me
Free to simply float away toward the ether
No walls nor doors get in my way
Insubstantial as smoke or vapor or fog
I float far away past any guard or dog
Until I reach where I wish to go flying
I’ll stay thin as smoke to keep from dying (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 9 Mage Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To slowly dig through it would take far too long
The masonry made of stone of great quality
Expensively built in a time of great joviality
But I have a plan, a scheme, an idea
A way to break through a practical panacea <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open it up when I concentrate
Lets me walk through and I bring a friend with me
Past the wall that I’ve parted before, see? (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of flesh and blood and fluid unknown
A golem I need to complete my plan
So I’ll construct it right here, i’m sure you understand
Your soul has fled and left behind flesh
And that’s all I need to stay refreshed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which is fairly normal with all this entails
Your limbs first are stiff from the rigor mortis
But soon they’ll loosen up there’s no need to force this <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And since you’re dead there’s no way for you to see
You’ll listen to the commands that I give
Even though your mind resembles a sieve <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although when I say to fight you surely can tussle
What you lack now is true self preservation
A fact that’s quite clear when you fling yourself towards damnation <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A weapon of magic and melee and more
Let it swing fast and let it swing true
And when fighting certain beasts may it kill them too
Beasts that defy the laws of nature
Beasts of a specific nomenclature (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 10 Mage Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It makes it quite hard to sneak through a crowd
If you want to survive what you need to find
Is something in between, a very special kind
All it takes is the spell
And then you’ll survive a surprising death knell <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bends bronze weapons and makes them kneel
Lets you take shots from swords, clubs and bows
But you won’t feel it, heavenn knows
From squishy to tink you’ll transform in an instant
So that you survive even when you think you wouldn’t (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inside a hole deep in the ground
It has a secret that I keep
Behind these lips, inside these feet
A secret found in winters haze
Through summers glare and drunken days <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spells I cast, each day, each week
It holds them there
With its gray gaze <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To cause their mayhem and run about
WHen on the run, when im in trouble
I pull them out, on the double
Spells of chaos, spells of fear
Spells to make you call for mummy dear
They make you fall, they make you die
WHich makes your partner want to cry
Spells of nature, spells of pain
Spells to make you go insane
Spells to make your shield fall down
Spells that trap you to the ground <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I don’t die, but you do
And thats the secret my stone keeps
Its bit of magic, its hidden feat
So I won’t tell
Neither will you
About this nature magic I somehow withdrew (Recite three times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To protect me from the harm that my many foes seek
I need to hide from other mages
Whose voice echoes above their spellbook pages
They send out fire, they send out ice
And both will kill me if I don’t think twice
I need protection from magic arcane
From focused attacks meant to drive me insane <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From attacks that might seek to wound and to drone
Lightning strikes down from the sky
But me and mine it will not fry
Instead protection will keep us safe
From death and destruction no matter the place
Arcane words to protect this space
A simple suggestion I cry out loud
That you be away on your magical cloud
Seek not to harm and seek not to kill
Because with me you won’t find any thrill <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A word of protection a magical leap (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
