+ {target fire flares, inflicting \arabic{spelllevel} Damage plus size bonus}% Description
+ {
+ A fire-source roars, growing loud, aggressive, and large enough to damage anyone next to it.
+
+ Someone carrying a candle would receive just \dmg{spelllevel} Damage, but those with a torch would receive more, and a target standing next to a bonfire could receive $1D6$ Damage.

+ The caster can specify any target within one step of a fire.

+ {\mFire}% Spheres
+ {Warp}% Action
+ {\duplicated}% Enhancements
+ {Wyldcrafting}% Skill
+ {target fire stops consuming a certain type of material}% Description
+ {
+ This spell changes the basic nature of a fire, so it can no longer burn a certain type of material.
+ Casters generally use this to stop a fire damaging people, but it could just as easily be used to stop a fire spreading to clothing.
+
+ The caster can target up to \spellArea\ steps.
+
+ The fire will not stop feeding on whatever allows it to currently burn, so a wood fire will continue burning its wood.

+\spell{Fascination}% Name
+ {\mFate, \mWater}% Spheres
+ {Wax}% Action
+ {}% Enhancements
+ {Empathy}% Skill
+ {target becomes enamoured with their current action, and finds it hard to stop}% Description
+ {
+ The target finds sudden joy and fascination with their current task.
+ The task always takes the form of a single verb -- `blacksmithing', `walking', `singing' -- never something convoluted like `the mission to kidnap the barron', or `finding the right paints for the colour of a Sunrise'.
+
+ \Glspl{npc} targeted by the spell can make a Wits + Academics roll, \tn{8}, to break away from the task.
+ \Glspl{pc} afflicted by the spell cannot gain any further \glspl{xp} for the a full day (four \glspl{interval}), unless they complete the current \gls{interval} without wavering from their task.
+
+ Anyone sleeping almost certainly remains asleep, and rolls to wake up suffer a -4 penalty.

+\spell{Confusion}% Name
+ {\mFate, \mWater}% Spheres
+ {Wane}% Action
+ {}% Enhancements
+ {Deceit}% Skill
+ {the target becomes listless and distractable}% Description
+ {
+ The target loses their train of thought.
+ They take a -1 penalty to all actions using Mental Attributes, and a -1 \gls{ap} penalty during combat.
+ Anyone actively attacking the caster loses their action (but not when attacking others).
+ }
+
+\spell{Shadow Check}% Name
+ {\mFate, \mWater}% Spheres
+ {Witness}% Action
+ {}% Enhancements
+ {Empathy}% Skill
+ {the caster checks if something has a mind}% Description
+ {
+ Shadows, statues, or suspicious bushes can all hide all manner of things.
+ This spell tells the caster if any particular patch (and it has to be a specific patch) contains anything which has a mind.
+
+ The spell will not say what kind of mind this is -- whether animal or person.
+ It reports only `yes/ no', and often has false positives due to mice or insects (1/6 chance in daylight, 2/6 chance at night).

+ {up to a barrel of water turns into mist}% Description
+ {
+ Some body of liquid -- up to a barrel's worth -- instantly turns to mist, then quickly coalesces, soaking anything in the area.
+
+ Torches struggle to keep aflame as an entire room can become soaked.
+
+ When cast on a mostly-liquid creature, such as oozes, this spell deals $1D6$ Damage.
