Book of Magic

This Book does contain spells that break the rules a little bit in the Health Department. Often called Miracles, the spells in this collection has been created by Hermetic magicians as well as Mormon theurges.

Reports of Mormons raising the dead, and casting out spirits, are not exaggerated. Mormon priesthood power has brought the dead back to life, even as Lazarus was raised from the dead. Bringing the dead to life breaks one of the rules of Sorcery (see Street Magic, page 160). Such tales are often scoffed at, because of the believed limits of Sorcery. But it does not mean it hasn't happened.

Touch of Frost (Indirect, touch, elemental)
Type: P * Range: T * Damage: P * Duration: I * DV: (F ÷ 2) - 2

Blast of Cold (Indirect, Elemental)
Type: P * Range: LOS * Damage: P * Duration: I * DV: (F ÷ 2) + 3

Burst of Cold (Indirect, Elemental, Area)
Type: P * Range: LOS * Damage: P * Duration: I * DV: (F ÷ 2) + 5

These spells create an "explosion" of numbing cold that sucks heat energy and chills the target. These spells deal cold damage (See the Elemental Effects sidebar in Street Magic for SR4A, page 164.) Touch of Frost is the version where you have to touch someone. Blast of Cold is the bolt version, and Burst of Cold is the area effect spell. These spells are the thematic opposite of Flamethrower and Fireball (See SR4A, page 204).
