Conjuration
Whatever you need, whenever you need it can be yours if you know the proper spell. The Conjuration tradition reveals methods for plucking creatures and objects from the world and bringing them to you. Thus, when you produce a blade from thin air, the spell plucks the item from somewhere nearby. When the spell ends, the blade returns to the place from which it came. Given the widespread knowledge of this tradition, many people have become accustomed to the sudden disappearance of their possessions and accept that they will find their way home, possibly a bit worse for wear.
Conjuration Talents
CONJURE ARROW (Magical): You can use an action to conjure an arrow and send it flying. Target one creature within 10 yards. Make an Intellect roll with 1 boon against the target’s Defense. On a success, the arrow hits and the target takes 2d6 damage. At level 3, the target takes 3d6 damage. At level 7, the target takes 7d6 damage. On a critical success, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage.
CONJURE CALTROPS (Magical): You can use an action to cause numerous sharp, barbed objects to appear. Target the ground in one Size 5 space within 10 yards. Caltrops (see Chapter 3) cover the ground in that space and remain for 1 minute. You can use this talent once, twice at level 3, and three times at level 7. You regain expended uses after you rest.
CONJURE USEFUL ITEM (Magical): You can use an action to cause an ordinary piece of gear (see Chapter 3) worth 1 sp or less to appear in your hand or at your feet if your hands are full. The item remains for 1 hour, but disappears when you use this talent again. You can use this talent once, twice at level 3, and three times at level 7. You regain expended uses after you rest.
HIDDEN PASSAGE (Magical): You can use an action to cause an opening to appear. Target one surface on a Size 1 or larger object within reach. A Size 1/2 hole appears in the object centered on the point you touch. The hole extends up to 1 yard through the object. The object remains unharmed from the presence of the hole. The hole remains open for 1 minute. If anything is in the hole when the effect ends, it’s pushed out to the nearest empty space. You can use this talent once, twice at level 3, and three times at level 7. You regain expended uses after you rest.

Conjure Helpful Servant
Castings: 1
Target: One Size 2 space within 5 yards
Duration: 24 hours
A faint popping noise heralds the sudden appearance of a dog, horse, or pack mule in the target space. (See Chapter 3 for their rules.) The creature is friendly to you and becomes your controlled companion. If the creature becomes incapacitated, the spell ends early.
If you have a drop of blood, few hairs, or a bit of nail from a creature, you can expend the object and cause the creature to which the object belongs to appear in the target space instead. An unwilling creature can make a Will roll. On a success, the creature ignores the effect, but the object is still expended. An unwilling creature summoned in this way retains its normal disposition to you and does not become your controlled companion.

Castings: 1
Target: One empty Size 10 space on solid ground or a liquid surface within 20 yards
Duration: 12 hours
The air in the target space darkens and returns to normal when a structure that can fit inside the space appears inside it. If you target a space on a liquid surface, a boat appears instead of a structure. The shelter contains whatever items were inside it before you conjured it.

Spin A Spider’s Web
Castings: 1
Target: One Size 5 space within 15 yards
Duration: 1 minute
Sticky strands spread through the space to fill it entirely. The strands turn the space into challenging terrain and grant creatures and objects in it partial cover. Each creature in the target space, when the webs appear, becomes held until the creature overcomes the effect with a successful Strength roll. A creature entering the space or moving in it must first make an Agility roll. On a failure, it becomes held as described.
The strands ignite if touched by fire and burn away at the end of the round, ending the spell early. Anything in the target space takes 2d6 damage, while creatures held by the strands in that space take an extra 2d6 damage.

On a failure, the creature takes 12d6 damage, falls prone, and becomes held until it overcomes the affliction with a success on a Strength or Agility roll. A creature held in this way cannot stand up.

Mansion of the Mists
Castings: 1, perform a ritual
Target: One empty Size 30 space on the ground that you can see
Duration: 24 hours
You cause a mansion to appear in the target space. It has an appearance appropriate to the part of the world in which you cast this spell: it could be a manor house, a castle, a fortress, or just a nice cottage. The place comes with furnishings, and anyone in the mansion when you conjured it appears inside it. Creatures traveling with the mansion are friendly to you and your allies and try to make you as comfortable as possible for the duration of your stay.
If you own a structure and that structure is on your continent when you cast this spell, you can conjure it to appear in the target space instead of a random structure. In addition, a conjured structure you own can remain in the space indefinitely.
Produce Lava

You call forth lava from deep in the earth to spread across the ground in the target space, covering it with challenging terrain. Each creature and object on the ground in the space when the lava appears or that enters it takes 10d6 damage and catches fire (luck ends).
During the next round, and each subsequent round, the lava deals damage to any creature or object on the ground in the target space or that enters it, but the damage dealt is reduced by 2d6: 8d6 damage on round two, 6d6 on round three, and so on.
In addition to dealing damage, toxic gas rises from the lava and creates light obscurement in the target space. Creatures in the space are affected by suffocation until they leave it.
Produce Magic Item
Castings: 1
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour
You pluck a magical item from somewhere in the world and cause it to appear in your hands or at your feet if your hands are full. You can choose any consumable or trinket described in Chapter 3. Alternatively, you can conjure a random oddity. The Sage has rules for oddities.
River of Rock
Castings: 1

Duration: Instant
You pull rocks and debris from someplace else and cause them to come tumbling out from nowhere. A target object takes 20d6 damage and, if not secured, is pushed 5 yards. A target creature takes 10d6 damage, and makes an Agility roll. On a failure, the target takes an extra 10d6 damage, is pushed 5 yards, and falls prone. The boulders cover the ground in a 5-yard wide and 5-yard long line extending away from the target’s space with challenging terrain that remains until cleared away.
Summon Winged Steeds
Castings: 1, perform a ritual, you can see the sky
Target: One Size 5 space centered on you
Duration: 8 hours
From the air above you swoop down winged steeds for you and each ally in the space. The steeds are friendly to you and your allies and bear you as riders. The steeds use the rules for horses (see Chapter 3) with the Fly trait. If a steed becomes incapacitated, it disappears. A creature on a steed falls when the spell ends or when the steed disappears.
