 Chirurgeon's healing touch  no  CrCo  20  -  +19  Touch/Near   Sun/Inst   Ind/     Bloodstone  +3  ArM 123  
 The person touched can recover a lost Body level by making a Stamina stress roll of 3+, to which is added the highest Chirurgy skill of anyone who has successfully tended the wounds. Also, subtract the wound penalty from the roll. Does not heal damage from poison or disease.
 Whispers through the black gate  no  InCo  15  Me  +18  Reach/Near   Conc/   Ind/     A Green Turquoise  +3  ArM 124  
 You can speak through the barrier - the figurative "gate" - that stands between the dead and the living, to one corpse that has not yet decayed into a skeleton. The corpse cannot have been buried in Church burial, nor have belonged to a spirit that went straight to Heaven (for example, a saint or a crusader). The spirit that you speak with is not compelled to tell the truth; you can, of course, find ways to coerce or trick it into doing so. All those around you can hear the voice of the corpse. Green turquoise is heavily associated with necromancy; peasants tend to shy away from one with such an "evil" stone.

 Grip of the choking hand  no  PeCo  10  -  +24  Near/Sight   Conc/   Ind/     Branch of Holly  +3  ArM 127  
 The target feels an invisible, strangling hand on the throat. Each round, the target loses a Fatigue level, or a Body level if already unconscious. It requires a Stamina stress roll of 6+ to break the spell, rolled each round. If using the holly spell focus, you point the branch towards the victim while you cast the spell. Holly is dangerous for magi to carry, as peasant superstition holds it to be a harmful plant and it may therefore attract unfavorable attention.
 Grip of two choking hands  no  PeCo  20  -  +24  Near/Sight   Conc/   Ind/     Branch of Holly  +3  SI  
 As the Grip of the Choking Hand above, but the victim requires a Stamina stress roll of 12+ to break the spell.

 Bane of the decrepit body  no  PeCo  25  -  +29  Near/Sight   Mom/   Ind/     The Heart of an Old Man  +3  ArM 127  
 The target ages 5 years. Determine afflictions normally. This spell does not work on children younger than age 16. If casting with the focus, you slowly crush the heart, draining the years from the target.
 Clenching grasp of the crushed heart  no  PeCo  40  -  +33  Near/Sight   Mom/   Ind/     A Human Heart (got)  +3  ArM 127  
 When casting this spell, you make a clenching motion with your hand, crushing the spell focus if using one. The victim doubles over at once, and if the victim fails to make a Stamina stress roll of 15+, he or she des with a crushed heart. If the target's roll succeeds, 5 points of Stamina are still lost; the target is still probably crippled for life, and may die an early death.

 Burning mark of shame  no  PeCo  10    +24  /   /   /        HoH 113  
 Stats for this spell can be found in the Houses of Hermes. 
 Demon's eternal oblivion  no  PeVi  30  -  +18  Near/Sight   Inst/   Ind/     Pure Red Coral  +3  ArM 158  
 Weakens and possibly destroys a demon. Roll a quality die + this spell's level - 5. For every point by which you exceed the target's Infernal Might, it loses one point of Infernal Might. If its score drops to 0, the demon is banished back to Hell for an indeterminate amount of time. If you know the demon's true name, you may double your roll, due to the Law of Names, which, like the Laws of Contagion and Sympathy, may be used to strengthen your spells. Note that repeated castings of this spell are particularly effective, as the earlier castings reduce the number that you have to beat.

 Invitation of the Deadly Sin no CrMe 15 - +16 Eye/Near Sun/Moon Ind/ -  see below +5 WGr 168  
 The caster specifies one of the seven deadly sins. Should the target have the opportunity to commit this sin prior to the spell's expiration, he must make an approppriate Personality Trait roll to resist its temptation. For example, if André the Friar is afflicted with this spell and the sin of gluttony is specified, when he sits down for the evening meal he must make a Personality Trait roll to avoid over-indulging. The Spell Focus must somehow represent a manifestation of the specified sin. In the above example a sweet cake or other frivolous food would suffice.
 This spell was introduced by House Tytalus, and has since been banned within the Order due to its hint of diabolic machinations. Nevertheless, many copies are known to exist throughout the Order.
 Vision of the Last Breath Drawn Yes InCo 15 Im   Reach Conc Ind -  Eye of a dead man    Self-inv  
 The caster sees in reverse motion and in "third person view" what happened when the target died and how the person died.
